STATEHOOD
Feeling in Arizona and
New Mexico.

Mr.. Byron w. King arrived in Can
ton yesterday afternoon from a lecture
tour covering fifteen dates in Arizona
ard New Mexico, the object OF his
stop-over was to deliver his lecture to
the High school pupils and at the
First U. b. church. To representative
of the Morning News Mr.. King spoke
very highly of the people Of the dis
tricts in which he lectures. Since the
question of admitting the states of New
Mexico and Arizona TO the Union, much
attention has been paid these people
ard their habits observed more close
Iy. They are all opposed to the union.
of the two and are also opposed to re-
|riaining a territory. The main objec-
tion generally presented Is that three
fourths of the population are Mexicans.
While this Is true. II Is also conceded
that the advancement made by many
of them is unprecedented. In tho low
or grades of the schools. English is
the only language taught. In some
parts Of New Mexico the longing to
acquire knowledge Of the English
language is so strong that they hire
lecturers to speak to them. when the
Icnly words understood are those which
an interpreter explains. Their hon
esty Is one of the marked characters
tics Of these people, travellers often ex-
pressing themselves as being more safe
In dealing with the Mexicans than
any other Of the Inhabitants.
On Mr.. Kings last trip he delivered
lecture to an audience Of Mexicans
with an interpreter standing immedi-
ately behind him repeating the lecture
word for word. All Of the newspapers
express themselves against the ad-
mission of the two states as ore but
they "have grown tired of being a
territory" "The La Vegas Optic" has
become so disgusted with the way con-
eress is treating their numerous appeals
fer statehood that It is now advocating
that the states be united to have o
place on the flag

sprung a surprise in the national
house Of representatives when he
arose in his place and resigned his
seat for the reason that he found that
he had been elected by fraud prac.
ticed by over-zealous members of his
party. The investigation disclosed the
fact that Shafroth knew nothing Of
what had been done. He had served
in congress for several terms and was
known to be very conscientious. How.
ever, his action was surprise, as
most congressman and politicians do
not worry over a political trick II they
get away with it successfully. He will

all connection with the fraud, and if
they do not send him back the people
OF his district are not wise.

There is an old saying that corpor-
ations are soulless At least one of
them is not only without the sem
blance of soul, but 1t is cruel beyond
all imaginings Of the human mind. The
news dispatches of last night carried
the story that At Leesburg, Pa, where
a coal strike is in progress, the United
States Steel corporation which has
charge OF the mines, has decidsd to
cut of the water supply from the 5000
strikers and their families, thus de.
priving them of water wight in the
heart Of the winter. Such thing
could be done with some show of JUS
tice in time of war where q city was
besieged and murder and Killing is
claimed to be warranted, but In a
case like this the devil in hell would
want no better lieutenants to aid him
in his prosecutions than the men who
are responsible for the plan.

keep the pipes from freezing and
bursting. They would thus avoid
plumber bills. The people took the
advice and now that water bills are
coming in they are trying to figure out
IL 1t would not have been cheaper to
pay the plumber. The constant flow

point that took the breath Of the con-
sumers.

ing of a number of firemen at the

have six Of the fremen sleep at
the city hall where they will be
ready at any time during the
night to answer alarms.

ment who will be required to be
constantly at the hall during all
of the night and no member will.

time without permission. The

The world is fast realizing that japan
Is not, after all, so diminutive a power
compared with Russia, as many were
led to think and believe. Its area seems
insignificant, indeed, compared with
that of the whole of the Russian em-
pire, including Siberia. but it is to be
remembered that Japan is densely pop
ulated, whereas large parts of the cars
vast realm are a barren waste. Com
pared, however, with England, which
has so long been one of the great powers
of the world, Japan is by no means
small. Its total area, without counting
