CONSTRUCTION" and the Statehood Bill


Yesterdays debate In the Senate over the
statehood legislation developed that there
are two issues now pending upon the ques-
ton of the blll's right of way. Senator
Quay charged Senator Beveridge with OBJ
structing the passage of the measure, while
Mr.. Beveridge charged Mr.. Quay with OBJ
structing general legislation. Mr.. Bever-
idge furthermore charged Mr.. Quay with
having applied political convention methods
to this highly important, question perma-
nently affecting the welfare OF the states
by the formation of what might be termed
voting trust. pledged to the passage of
particular measure and the obstruction Of
all else. ''.'-7 -
1t is decidedly unfortunate that the state
hood matter should have reached this
stage 1t is indeed, as Mr.. Beveridge said
yesterday, vital ISSUE. and If Congress
errs now in the admission of states its
blunder cannot later be corrected. This
class of legislation is unlike the general
run of proposed laws, which can be re-
pealed If found unworkable.5 Therefore,
there is needed the utmost caution and con-
servatism. and full debate is by no means
an unreasonable requirements. s&l s
Thus far. only two senators have spoken
at length upon each side. Out of total
membership of lightweight this is hardly
to be regarded as full debate Of vitality
important ISSUE It is by no means debate
in the senatorial sense, and this PROPOSE
ton can be advanced without the least dan
ger of mourning the charge of obstruction
Therefore, it was quite within the right Of
Senator Beveridge yesterday to object to
the setting of a date for a vote on the
measy when as he showed, there has
been only a minimum of discussion and the
whole great subject lies open for illumi-
nation and analysis. ...,s
The charge that the opponents to his way
of thinking are obstructing the course Of
business in the Senate came with rather
bad grace from Senator Quay, whose rec
ord as an obstructionist is long and for
midable His celebrated tariff speech of
a few years ago fingers yet in the memory
as a fragrant abuse OF senatorial privilege.
There have been thus far in the course of
the statehood debate no signs offilibustering
tactics on the side of those who believe
that Arizona and New Mexico are not yet
ready for statehood. On the other hand,
this bill. with. as charged, an organized
combination pledged to vote for it regard

niably used with open threats to block i'm

which, in behalf of questionable meas
ure for the passage of which there IS no
particular urgency. checks the whole course

Enthusiastically of the offensive and Injurious
type. VIII the Senate permit the legisla-
tive business of the republic to be brought
to a standstill through Senator Quay's
threatening hold-up?

Reason to Be Happy.


From the New York Mail and Express.
What is the use of being at odds with the
world? What is the use Of being blue and
respondent? The world is full of trials for
us all-has plenty of trouble and worry to
hand out even to the best of US from time
to time. But there would be no need for
men and women-we could all be babes-if
there were no great life problems to solve,
no burdens to bear, no sorrows to live down.
These are the balance wheels Of life. They
are the trials we have to face in order to
strengthen us and broaden us to the oppor-
tunities and the real happiness that riches
do not command, nor poverty bar.

Civilizing the Savae e

Civilizing the Savage.
Do not despair 1a
Although your care
Upon the savage wasted seems;
He foils your philanthropic schemes
And then with saber and with gun
You straightway put him on the run
IT'S wrong!
He's weak you're strong,
But weakness, very sad to state
Is oftentimes most obstinate.
The only remedy that's sure
Is, after all. the water cure;
Don't shoot 'em.
Loot 'em,
Cuff and boot 'em.
But lead em firmly to the tub
And make 'em scrub
Despite their bowls
And growls:
Teach 'em the use Of soap and towels.
For cleanliness. once understood,
Creates higher brotherhood,
1t makes men willing to be good:
There's nothing that will soften wrath
So much as a luxurious bath;
Twill give them better appetite;
Twill give them sweet repose at night;
They'll seek employment and possess
Houses, to safeguard cleanliness;
Don't drub EN-!
Scrub EN-!
Twill move their minds to literature,
The ads. poetic will allure
Their thoughts to things from earth apart
The pictures will encourage art:
Let not a days DISAGREEMENT
Deter your generous intent;
Reach them hand, and as they grope
Remember. while there's soap
There's hope.
