Why Ralph Edward Objected.

Ralph was great big boy. nearly three years of age, and had never re ceived name. being called Baby Pet" Love" etc. Finally the name for the small man was decided upon and, dressed in his Sunday best, he went to church with father and mother where he was to be baptized. As the ministered repeated Il baptize thee Ralph Edward,' he dipped his fingers into the font and touched the child's forehead with the shining drops. How important Ralph Edward felt! At last be was somebody.
 By supper time his face was sadly i1 need of washing, but when mother started to wash her sons brow he cried out in dismay:

THE RANK INJUSTICE.

Under the provision of the joint statehood bill, as now in course oi preparation, New Mexico will have 113 delegates in the constitutional con vention and Arizona will have 66- IT all matters of a public nature in which Arizona would be invited to part:Si pate, in the event of the passage oi the joint statehood bill, the same pro portion of representatives would ex ist.
 Arizona would be counted as pres ent, but when it came to transactine the real business of the convention or the legislature, as the case might be, Arizona delegates and representa- tives would find themselves hopeless ly in the minority.
 It would take a generation to oblit crate the sectional feeling that would assert itself. In short, the joint state hood bill has but one real purpose, the obliteration of this Territory from the map. and the placing of the interests of our people entirely at the mercy Of the greater population of New Mex ico.
 This is the Republican scheme, fath- cred by Roosevelt. that is to be shov- ed down the throats of Arizonans. Ari2ona's only hope of salvation is in the hands of the Democratic Senators

THE PURCHASE OF A RESERVOIR
 SITE.

Another step has been taken toward the transformation of the arid west. The secretary of the interior has authorized the purchase of the Hondo reservoir site in New Mexico for the sum of s20.00O. IL is in Chaves county, about twelve miles west of Roswell
 The site of this proposed reservoir is natural depression, which, with a small amount of embankment, can be given a capacity of 10000 acre-feet. This will hold practically all the water that the Hondo will furnish during low water years. It is pro posed to store here the flood waters of this stream and draw on them through lateral canals for irrigating the lands below the reservoir.
 The lands that will be benefited by the reservoir waters are naturally fer tile and may be easily irrigated at slight expense They are free from alkah and will be ultimately worth at least s100 an acre when planted to alfalfa and corn. If used for fruit growing, to which they are specially adapted, they may have a far greater value.
 No engineering difficulties are ex- pected in the work The natural reservoir will have to be enlarged and canals built for the inlet and outlet of the waters. It is estimated that the cost of constructing the reservoir and bringing the water to the arid lands will approximate s240,00O, or s20 an acre for a minimum acreage of 12,000 It is believed. however. that nearly I5, 900 acres will be served.

 On March 2. 1904. William NJ.

SPONTANEOUS CALL
 FOR MARCUS A. SMITH.

The observant reader, as well as the ordinary observer of events in and about the Territory of Arizona, can not but acknowledge the present and growing demand for the nomination of Marcus A. Smith for congress. This demand for the gentleman who has many times represented ably Arizona in the lower national legislative hall, : the Review has intimate knowledge comes spontaneously from a constitu- ency that has full confidence in the man, as client has for his attorney, or a member of a congregation for his pastor. This is said without the slightest attempt at any disparage- ment of Hon. J. F. Wilson, who at present serves Arizona as it's delegate at Washington. The Review be- lieves that Mir Wilson has acted hon estly and with the very best of his ability for the advancement of this Territory, but long continued resi- dence at the capital of the nation by Hon Marcus A. Smith has given him that intimate knowledge of men and affairs in and about the halls of con gross which are invaluable to himself and the people he so long and splen- di6ly represented.
 The Review also speaks from the books when it says that under no consideration would MT Smith make a campaign for the office Of delegate to Congress. Since his retirement from the position MT Smith has large ly added to his exchequer, through a lucrative practice at the bar of law in his own county as well as gener ally, and which was denied him and his legal ability while serving the Ter ritory as a delegate to the National legislature. To have MT. Smith ac- cept at all the nomination it would have to be free offering, a unani- nous tender of the place to which the people would have chosen as their rep resentative, and to be secured with out the effort of a campaign. To ac- cept al all would be at great personal sacrifice, and corresponding loss fnan- cially, and the reward coming from elientage that is both lucrative and pleasant It is a well known fact that the influence of MT Smith on the floor of congress is strong and wide Personally appreciated for his sterl- ing worth, his staunca integrity. ms absolute honesty. and his mas,e-fal tact, has drawn about him host Of in- fuenual friends in legislative power which only long years of experience may accomplish. Through these be may approach other men of influence, and without the slightest reflection on MT. Wilson, however great may 5e his personal ability, these influences are only obtained through the causes
