NO JOINT

Hon. E.. E.. Ellinwood before the
House Territorial committee puts in
plain words the opposition of Arizo-
ma to joint statehood. He says:
81 want to say that in your action
on this matter I know you will be
fair, and will intend &c be fair. But
whatever you do, if you cannot ben
eft the territory of Arizona do not
do her an injury. New Mexico does
not want us tied to her. and we do
not want to be tied to NewMeXico.
We want statehood, gentlemen of
the committee. but we are not insane
on the subject of statehood. If you
cannot admit Arizona with it's 113,
900 square miles, with it's resources
with its American population, leave
us out.
do not let what l have to say
on this subject initiate one iota
against New Mexico or Oklahoma
because, for that matter. we would
not be joined to California; we
would not be joined to Nevada or
Utah, and we will not be joined to
New Mexico if we can help it. 1 say
do not let what 1 say initiate against
the other territories.
Gentlemen of the committee. take
up the New Mexico bill and pass it
and let Arizona remain as she is
rather than join us together. We will
be loyal. We would prefer to re
main a territory absolutely indefinite
ly, forever. until we work out III
own salvation. We shall do it. We
have the people there. We have the
leaven. We rave a good American
population there. We have the square
miles ,and area and resources: and.
for heavens sake, do not strike us
in the face if you a help us up.
This is the preference of the peo-
pc, l tell you, gentlemen. l know
tire conditions in the territory. and
no one will appear before you who
will not tell you the same thing.
Arizona is unanimous on this sub
iect. We will not have it if we can
help it.
whatever you do, pass New Mex
ico's bill. She deserves statehood
She has a greater population than
we have. She has which
she has a right to be proud of. Ok
lahoma no n can declaim against.
Leave Arizona out if you must.
We are willing. We will go back to
the territory of Arizona: we will put
d shoulder to the wheel. we will
Try to make good American citizens;
viii be loyal. we will work out
sur own salvation. and in the course

CONDEMNS UNION LABEL.
Employers Association Takes Strong
Ground on the Subject.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 23.-By unan-
imous vote the following was adopted
by .the Industrial Association conven-
ton:
Resolved, That the propaganda of
labor unionism in the United States
and the every day practical workings
thereof are revolutionary and subver-
sive of the rights of labor and the en-
ployers of labor and of the laws of the
land: above all they are. destructive
of the rights and liberties of the great
body of the people, irrespective of their
utilization with unionism or with en-
plOyerS of labor.
"Resolved, further: That the present
condition of anarchy and contempt for
law and the constituted authorities
brought about by lawless leaders and
members of labor unions has forced
upon the peace loving citizens of the
United States the necessity of demand
ing the names and whereabouts of
these lawbreakers who practice intimi-
dation, boycotting, picketing, destruc-
ton of property and who commit as
saults upon their fellow laborers or
commit other crimes in the name OF
labor be made known for the protec-
ton of all law abiding people and for
the best interest of labor itself and to
the end that justice may be melted
out
Resolved further, That the executive
committee is hereby directed to take the
necessary steps to ascertain the identity
of such persons and obtain full inforIna-
lion in connection Herewith and report
the same to each organization holding
membership in this association
The following resolution was passed
That the use of union label on manu-
IA ctured articles recognizes and indorses

HAS NO OPPOSITION.
Congressman Calderhead to Be
Nominated by Acclamation.

Congressman W. A. Caiderhead will
be renominated by reclamation at the
Fifth district Republican congression-
al convention at Concordia tomorrow.
This will be the sixth time that Mr..
Calderhead has been nominated, and
he has been elected each time but one.
His first nomination was in 1894, when
he defeated J. L. Bristow, who was at
that time editing the Salina Republi-
can. He was elected that year. but in
1896 Mr.. Calderhead went down in the
general Republican defeat, and w. D.
elected. In 1898 Calderhead defeated
Vincent and was reelected in 1900 and
1902.
There has been considerable talk of
opposition to Mr.. Calderhead during the
past six months, and it generally con-
ceded that his district is full of con-
gressional aspirants, but none have
thought 1t advisable to come out
against him this year, and his renomi-
nation tomorrow will be by acclana-
ton.
There is also little doubt as to what
the congressional convention at Con-
cordia will do on other propositions. 1t
will elect Captain B. Rockwell of juno
ton City and S. H. Hamilton of Cliff
ton as delegates to the national con-
vention, and it will probably nominate
Dr. c. F. Little of Manhattan for presi-
Dental elector.
Lacrosse, Kan, Feb.2s-H w. Grass

day for the nomination for state treas
urer at the state convention to be held
at Wichita. March 9. The delegates
selected are J. P. Resser, J. ]. Sparks,
E. S. Chenoweth, and B. H. Bum.
The resolutions also endorsed Roose-
Welt, Hoch, Murdoch and F. Dumont
Smith, Mr.. Grass is receiving great
encouragement in his candidacy and
there is a strong possibility of his nom

it now promises to be, it will be made

DIR. COUNTERMINE QUITS.
He Will Give Up His Passionate in
May.

The Rev. John D. Countermine has
resigned as pastor of the First Presby
terrain church of Topeka Ill health is
given as the cause of his withdrawal.
There have been discussions in the
First PreSby terrain church and it is sup
posed the resignation of the pastor has
resulted from the knowledge of un-
friendliness toward him among his con-
gregation, added to the i'll health with
which he has been annoyed during the
past four or five months.
During the seven years which he has
spent in the pulpit of the First Pres
byterian church DR.. COuntermine mas
succeeded in raising mortgage of S.
600 besides increasing the membership
of the church by nearly 1000. He has
had no assistant and has found it inn
possible to attend to the duties of pas
toral calling and preaching DR.. Coun-
terrnine has announced no plans for
the future but it is supposed he will
spend some time in rest and in the
recuperation of his health. His resig-
nation was unexpected and no plans
have been formulated for filling the
pulpit. At the morning service Sunday
some persons caused cards to be circu-
lated bearing the following inscription:
BE sure and come to the congrega-
tional meeting in March and cast your
vote whether or no DR.. Countermine
shall remain"
1t is believed that this manifestation
of unfriendliness was what precipitated
the resignation of DR.. Countermine. 1t
is denied by his friends that this is so.
They say his resignation had already
been decided on. 1t was read at the
evening service following. In it he
said:
MY reason for offering my resigna-
ton as pastor of the church, which
resignation will, if the presbytery of
Topeka so elect, take place the first
of May. 1904, is my physical inability
to do, without assistant, the pas
tora1 work of such a large and con-
stantly increasing church, and at the
same time to preach as 1 feel 1 ought
to preach. It is too much for any per-
son to attempt.
It have felt this for a long time, but
more especially since the beginning of
the winter, when I took a severe cold,
which kept me in the house for five
weeks, save on Sabbaths, when con-
trary to the advice of friends, I have
been in my pulpit. Owing to my phys
ical condition have endeavored, for the
past few months to call only on the
sick, and to minister such comfort and
enlargement as 1 might be able to
give them. I believe when a person
takes an office he should make an hon.
ese effort to discharge the functions OF
that Office and when for any reason he
finds himself unable to do so, he should
give place to some one else

COL. WATSON COMING.
Secretary of British Royal Worlds
Fair Commission.

London, Feb. 23.-The White Star line
steamer Oceanic, which sails from Liv-
erpool tomorrow for New York, will
take among her passengers Colonel
Watson, the secretary of the British
royal commission to the st. Louis ex-
position, who said to the Associated
Press:
Il shall remain at st. Louis until the
exposition is ended. All our exhibits
are now on their way. We are well
satisfied with the British showing. 1t
was not easy work at first; but I am
glad to say that we have not only filled
all the space, but during the last weeks
we have been obliged to refuse several
applications.
Colonel Watson reported to the Prince
of Wales, who is president of the COM
mission, the progress made, and the
prince expressed keen satisfaction.
There does not appear to be any chance
of the Prince of Wales going to the
United States. Colonel Watson received
through the foreign office an invitation
from the lady managers of the exposi-
ton to British women, asking the latter
to visit ST. Louis and at Lord Lans-
downe's request he has given it to the
British press.

Roosevelts Plant Trees.

Washington. Feb. 23-President and
Mrs. Roosevelt celebrated Washing
tons birthday by planting each a tree
in the White House grounds. The
trees are fern leaf beeches. They were
removed from Garfield park, it being
necessary either to transplant or to de-
stroy them owing to excavations in the
park incident to the construction of
the new railroad terminal. The trees
were planted in the area within the
semicircular driveway Tearing from Fx-
ecutive avenue tothe east terrace of the
White House on each side of the main
walk
