REASON VS.. PREJUDICE

EOR SOME TIME past the press of New Mexico and Arizona
has been busy discussing the statehood question: and as might
expected there have been and varied given Tor Ia
yong or opposing the admission of the territories either sng
Jointly AS to the opposing their admission in any FORM we can
hardly how person with pogressveneSs could 90 so
yet sake of argument will grant that there are some
who do They few however that they scarcely count the
consideration of the subject and say that nearly all would
favor single rather than Joint could be had but there
good many who willing accept joint rather than remain
territory and be the mercy of the eders office seekers as we
have been in the past they certainly give good for
the stand they take.
1t is not however much this that wish to speak Of as
the alleged which give for the stand they
take in the matter leading editor of our territory stated to
some parties this city sometime ago that his for fayorng
Joint statehood 1T would give democratic repesen
aon No ALL The rights of the people made no diff
ference; it was for party only.
Arizona has been thing for the to give
their for opposing onure that the vote of New Mexico
much greater than that of their territory that would get
more offices than they they would be driven away from the pie
counter Another reason.
The most common argument of sister territory however
is that large proportion of our citizens MeXcans who speak
the Spanish language and has been haped until makes
tired to look of their papers yet territory man
who doubtless thinks himself Of Importance stated oa news
paper reporter that he favor changing the OF Ne"
Mexico because when away and registered from here

than that is likely he will learn Such men as he
will never do the territory much good what It's name

In contrast to the above we may consider those who

who have adopted their home and who love the territory her

JAPS LEARN WESTERN WAYS
Their Newspapers Follow in the Wake
of American Publications and
Are Well Patronized.

Japanese journalism is developing on
western lines and with surprising rapid
ity. The events Of the present war are
responsible for extras which are sold on
the street in the American fashion. The
newsmen run barelegged with a sort of
napkin around the head and a small bell
at the belt. which rings as they go.
When the war news is lively the ex-
tras come out in a correspondingly live
ly manner, one after the other, and are
literally p%atronized. The sensational
reporter has appeared there, as well as
the female journalist, and things are
"whooped up more than they used to
be. One consequence of this is that
Journalism here and there begins to pay,
where formerly 1t had to be subsidized
as a matter of patriotism and public
spirit. There is an English column in
all the papers and English is studied in
all the schools. Thefcountry has 600
newspapers in all and several of them
have respectively a circulation exceeding
100, 900 copies. AS guides and directors
of public opinion they are perhaps not
inferior to our own. Altogether. Japan
ese journalism, in its infancy, has a
bright future before it. and will likely
keep pace with the progress of the oun
try it serves.

ADOPT AMERICAN IDEA.
Innovation as to Placing of Brides
maids in Wedding March Taken
from United States.

A short time ago at a London wed
ding the bridesmaids preceded the
bride instead of following her TO the
altar, an American notion, and one
that, | think, we might well copy,
says the London Daily Mail. The
English idea that the bride should
be made the chief object of the pro-
cession is laudable, and to allow her
maids to go in front of her makes
her more conspicuous, for they do but
call attention to the great person
age of the procession, while at the
same time they gain more than the
usual amount of observation they ac-
complish for themselves. The chief
maid of honor in America walks quite
alone; she is usually the sister Of the
bride, or her dearest friend. There
are also ushers who take their places
by the other bridesmaids and act as
their groomsmen. 1t is pleasant to
have groomsmen among us again, If
only on account of their obliging
amiability as the squires of the brides
maids after the ceremony, but they
do not look well in a procession unless
they come behind the bride as her
guard Of honor.

YACHT WAS SUNK

John b. Edwards, ST., and Will Howell
were the only members of the party made
to go to Sandy Hook, who started yester-
day in the yacht Fannie NJ. They were
being towed out of chesapeake creek be
hind a scow when the scow swung over
and in doing so landed the yacht on the
iettys. The bottom of the yacht was
stove In and the boat was considerably
damaged, otherwise young Howell, who
had charge of the boat, Immediately got
sail up and tried to sail her back into
the creek, but owing to the heavy sea and
the water running into the boat, they
were unable to get her about. They let
the boat run before the wind and beached
her behind Perrine's clay dock about
three or four hundred yards from where
the accident happened, where she sank.
Everything on board, eatables, etc., were
water soaked. The men got ashore all
right, Instead of having an enjoyable
time at Sandy Hook they fetched up
almost at Conover's Point. As soon ms
the tide was out far enough they started
working on her to repair the damage
done.

JAPs SCOUT WITH 'PHoNE.
One of the Greatest Features of Mod
ern Warfare Now Being Used
by Islanders.

Scouting with the aid of the telephone
has become one of the features of mod
ern warfare. and is aow being made use
of by the japanese. Two scouts pro-
coed from the lines toward the enemy;
one, the observer. Is q skilled army Off
Ger, who makes observations, which are
transmitted back to headquarters
through a telephone line paid out from
a reel carried by an electrician of the
signal corps. A ground return is used,
the ground being made by thrusting a
bayonet or Ratchet into the earth, and at
taching n end of the line to it. The
electrician carries a battery on his back.
He also makes the connection and does
the talking. A special conductor is used
which will stand the rough usage. In
this manner a scout may be able to stay
a long time and give valuable informa-
tion without being obliged to make a
number of hazardous trips to the front.

LUCK IN THE LETTER "R.''
Worst Foes of Gardener Begin with
"W"-"D" Related to Things
Of Doleful Nature.

A writer has discovered that many oil
the worst foes of the horticulturist be-
gin with W." and he instances worms,
weevils, wind and other workers of
~wickedness. This suggests a question
as to whether there is any natural group
ing of good or evil things under partic-
nlar letters. Take 3D." for example, and
consider how many boons and blessings
to mar begin with 1t. The baker, butch
er brewer bring him bread. beef and
beer. For additional foods he has bacon,
black bass, beans, bloaters, broccoli.
broth, bivalves, bananas, berries, bis
cults, buns and butter. After a banquet
OF bonnes-bouches he may bring out his
'baccy while he bestrides his bicycle.
These are but q few of the benefcent
things included under that blessed letter
b." Now, as a contrast, take I'd" and
among the first words we think of are
damp. dark. dreary, dank, dull, drowned.
dismal, dirty, damned, dusty, bastard,
daft, ducked, dosed. dragged, doubtful,
disguised, doctor, diseased, doldrums,
dungeons. depressed, despairing, dead,
drunk, and so on, the very sound of
which is enough to drive one into doleful
dumps.

A BEAUTIFUL SPOT.

Mr.. and Mrs. g. Straub's garden on the
Heights felt the effect of the severe winter
and their large almond trees were killed
and some choice bushes as well a great
many of their rose bushes. Besides the
rose bushes killed outright, some were in
jured so that they had to be cut down
almost t. the ground and new wood had
been made but they did not bloom as
profusely. There are a number of hand
some roses left though to word a well
come to visitors and there were beautiful
cannas, %asters, pansies, phllox, gerantums
and other flowers in pfofusion. The mas
turtions are of odd ard lovely colors.
Well, it was a delight to ramble through
the garden once more. and to enter the
ir prettily furnished house. They have
improved their large back porch, by en-
closing 1t with wire netting and fitting ii
up with mating, tables and easy chairs.
The plaza above is screened with glass.
The view from both extends over the gar
den and way out over the bay. Is it any
wonder that, to Mr., and Mrs. Straub,
their home ON the Heights is the most
beautiful spot in the world to them?
