Hon. Jerry Simpson, President of
the Chamber of Commerce, today re-
ceived a letter which is printed be-
below from M. J. Hsaly, Vice Presi-

From this letter it seems that the
dust is really flying between Deca-
tur and Denton; that the engineering
corps is well on its way to Roswell,
and that official representatives OF
the new road will be here in few
days to close matters up with our
ueople. All of which news is most
gratifying, and it is hoped that the
road will make as much progress in
the near future on the ground as it
is now making on paper. The letter
reads as follows:

MULLINS is SHAcKLED.
Murderer of Tony Staffinger is Now
Safe and Secure.

SdIe dno secure.
Kinch Mullins, the murderer of
Tony Staffnger. is now safe and Sc
cure, and has the rattle of chains
to constantly remind him of his cow
ardly crime. Yesterday afternoon
Sheriff Higgins took J. F. Kirksey
to the Jail and had him rivet the
shackles on Mullins ankles. and
they will be kept on him until the
day of the trial. While Mr.. Kirksey
was hammering the shackles on his
ankles he had very little to say, but
said to Sheriff Higgins. 81 don't think
l can wear these things as 1 have
rheumatism" The sheriff replied
that he felt pretty confident that he
would wear them. He is confined in
the same cell with Hendricks, the
murderer of Will Rainbolt. who has
been shackled since his arrest some
months ago. Sheriff Higgins was go
ing to shackle the two men together,
but they objected.
The shackles have been in the
vault in the court house for years,
and this is the first time they have
been used since two Mexicans who
were under the sentence of death
for murder wore them about eight
years ago.. One of the Mexicans was
duly executed in the court house and
the other cheated the law by COM
mitting suicide, cutting his throat
with a spoon which he sharpened
on the iron bars.

 Have these old fashioned republi- cans" forgotten the history of negro and carpetbagger rule in the south? |? For ten years, under the administTa- ton O. Johnson and Grant, the white people were disfranchised and the United States army backed the negro government. Tie prisons were filled with thousands of citizens against whom no crime had been CT could be proved. The legislature of North Car olina authorized the governor to pro- claim martial law i14 every county, to arrest and try by court martial, and the soldiers were negroes. Governor Chamberlain. a republican governor of South Carolina, is authority for the statement that when he succeeded
 Moses he found that 200 trial justices were holding office by executive ap- pointment who could neither read nor write. At the close of the war the debts of the seeded states aggregated SS7.G00,000. During the ten years of negro rule $500. 090 600 was added These are but few of the facts of | the era Of negro suffrage. Wholesale

 Have those 'old fashioned republicans" failed to note it? It is not too much to say that the history of the world af- lords no parallel to the development and progress of the south since negro rule went out. It is a story that reads like romance-a story of progress and prosperity which contrasts with the era which preceded it as light and

 DO not these ''0ld fashioned republi- cans understand why congress did not
 take this matter by the horns? The eXplanation is simple. It is that the republican masses throughout the north realized more than a quarter cen

The Equal Suffrage Bill Becoming in-
 tereStin~,

In his speech in the council yesterday against joint statehood with New Mex ico. Judge Kibbey brought out an inn portant point in reference to the pend ing equal suffrage bill. He suggested that in view of the possibility of Ari- zona being joined to New Mexico in opposition to the wishes of our people, , it would be more practical to enfran- chise the women of this territory than to fire resolutions at congress which
 would go unheeded. He pointed out that if the women of Arizona obtained the right to vote. our voting population i would be so increased that this terri tory would be nearer an equal footing with New Mexico in the matter of voting population.
 Were the women of Arizona to be the relative status of the two terri tories would be effected, although New Mexico would still be slightly in the lead. And of course, there would be
 
 i of New Mexico from enfranchising her women, and so recovering the advan- tage given that territory by her pres ent preponderance of voters.
 | At the November election last year, the vote cast in New Mexico for dele gate to congress was: for the republi-
 can candidate. 24,222; for the demo-
 cratic candidate, 14,576, total of 3S.-
 7ss In Arizona the ballots footed up:
 for the democratic candidate, 9,716; for
 the republican candidate, 9,239; for the
 socialist candidate. 510; for the prohi- | bitionist candidate. 223 a total of 19,6SS;
 or. less than New Mexico's total by 1 19,11O votes.
 ] According to the census of 1900. there ! were fewer women than men in Ari-
 zona by 20 per cent. If 80 per cent of 1 the vote cast in Arizona last November : be taken as the number of women Of
 voting age, we have In this territory, 15,750 women who would appear on the
 registra tion lists as voters. This would | give an aggregate voting population or | 36,4 43S, as against a voting populatioa q
 of 3S, 7SS in New Mexico, or a majority l of only 2,360 in favor of that territory. 1 To be exact, the figures here given
 would not represent the actual voting strength of Arizona. The aggregate of | 19, 6SS votes cast at the last election fell
 short of the registration by about p
 per cent. Under equal suffrage, there
 fore. the legal voters in Arizona would
 number considerably more than 40,000.
 However. 1t is fair to assume that the
 votes cast in New Mexico fell short
 of the registration in about the same
 proportion as in this territory, hence 36.43S and B, 79S may be taken as the voting strength of Arizona and New Mexico, respectively, in the event of

simply indicative of his present views. The president will be in Arizona in May. and he will be delighted to talk with our citizens, without distinction as to party. The patriotism, the fairness. welt cannot be questioned. Here upon the ground he will learn the sentiments of our people. He will find by personal observation that this territory is ready for statehood and of right ought to be a state. He will learn that it would be monumental blunder to join these two territories In a single state. Only by actually travelling across New Mexico and Arizona can he have realization of the absurd size of the proposed single state He will find that geographically and In almost every sense. the two territories are naturally separated Upon talking with our citizens he will find them unanimous against the com promise. He will find, in short, that the Hon. Charles M. Shannon reflected the popular sentiment when he eX- pressed his preference that Arizona remain a territory twenty-five years longer rather than be state witt: New Mexico. And, learning these things, it may be taken for granted with all safety that MT. Roosevelt will return to Washington fully determined to see justice done to Arizona.
 But to indicate to the United States senate at this juncture that any sort of compromise is acceptable is to play with edged tools The legislature here Is overwhelmingly democratic, and the democratic senators at Washington know it. Upon receipt of information that the legislature of their party here are disposed to accept union with New Mexico under certain conditions, what can be more natural than for these sen ators to assume that a compromise bill at this session is the best solution. after all? The Oklahoma democrats are pressing them to accept the com promise, and even stronger Is the press
 ure from New Mexico. Had matters undoubtedly could have commanded enough strength to defeat any com promise. But will he be able to do it now that the legislature has spoken? Nay. will he wish to stand out?

the passage of the equal suffrage bill.
 A preponderance of 2.S6O votes in favor of New Mexico would hardly give that territory such an advantage over Arizona as to handicap this territory very seriously. And from practical viewpoint it is scarcely Conceivable that any question could arise whereon the two territories would vote as units against each other. But in reality, as elsewhere pointed out in these col umns. the objections of the people of Arizona to a union with New Mexico are based upon much more serious grounds than any question of relative voting strength, important as that fea- ture certainly is.
