TO PRESERVE HISTORIC CHURCH
Fight Over Altering the Scene of Pat
 rick Henry's Speech.

Richmond Va, July 2S.-To prevent the alteration of St. Johns Episcopal Church is the object of a strong minor ity of the congregation. The churcl was built more than 200 years ago and in it Patrick Henry delivered his liberty or death speech.
 The church is controlled in part by the City Council, and a majority of the congregation has asked permission to change the form of the ancient house of worship. The Council committee on St. Johns burying ground has e ported an ordinance favoring the change and allowing the congregation to enlarge the house of worship. The ordinance has been approved by the Board of Aldermen. The next move is to have the lower branch of the Council endorse the acton of the Aldermen
 From all accounts that is where the fight will take place. There is some talk of an injunction to stop the pro posed improvements, on the ground that the church belongs to the people of the whole country and to disturb it will be to destroy one of the nation al landmarks.

The man incapable of readjusting his opinion to accord with the presen- taticn of incontrovertible facts, is a poor stick It is with sadness that we observe that the editor of the Florence Blade is inclined toward putting into this class. Brother Weeden is yet un- aware, it would seem, that the war, so 10 speak, is over. Were the genial gentleman in the mountains of Ari,a1- sas, We should judge from the tone of recent issues of the Blade, he would doubtless still be carrying a squirrel gun and taking a shot at anything in the way of blue wearing apparel that happened in range.

NEGRO STATISTICS.

In his interesting work of preparing A bulletin on the negro population of the United States, Walker F. WILCOX of the census bureau of the depart ment of commerce and labor, gives some facts and makes some conclu- sions that throw much light on the so' called race problem. ..
 In the South the negroes are about one-third of the population, both in the cities (3O.e per cent) and in ttre coun- try districts (S2.6 per cent.
 Since ls40 the increase in the negro population of the South has been less rapid than that of the white popula- tion. During the past decade the ne gro increase in the country districts was only about two-thirds of tis. of the whites, and fve-sixths sn the towns.
 The center of the negro popnllucn is in DeKalb county, Alabama.
 Between II and 16 per cent have or are believed to have some degree oi white blood.
 The rate of negro illiteracy is given at 44.5 per cent, or seven times IS common as among the whites.
 The death rate of negroes in the registration area in 1900 was S0.2; that of the whites, 17.3.
 The medium age of negroes is l9.i years; that of the whites, 23.i years.
 The negro population of the United States. including cur insular posses sions, is given at 9,204,531, nine-tenths of them being residents of the south ern states.

mites that await Arizona and New Mexico. Such are generally recogniz. ex by Southern Californians, for we are confident that with an appropria tion of s3,000 900 for irrigation oi the Colorado r.ver delta already au' thorized by Congress. and available, believe. these opportunities will be fully realized.
 Residents of the East are strange ly ignorant about the West. Our chamber of commerce at St. Louis to- day is doing a splendid missionary work, but Southern California might be surprised 10 know of the absurd notions customers sometimes enter tain about the West. Incidentally, I might say. certain of my friends in Kew York still imagine it is necessary to wear six-shOOters and brogans at a dance in Arizona. For many years have tried to convince them that We are not only civilized, but also that Los Angeles is destined to be a modern Athens
 Southern California and the terri tories may depend upon my utmost en- deavor. if l am sent to the United States Senate, on their and our own behalf, for, as said, I believe our in- terests in ths regard are identical"
 q know Washington well enough to realize the vital importance of west eners standing together. If the west ern delegation is divided on a subject of what I may call domestic interest naturally its influence and efforts in Congress are hammered
 T do not think this to be called a selfish interest, for it is obvious to me that the interest of the West in the interst of the East and of the whole country. From a political point of view, however, it should be unnec- cessary for me to point out that two senators from Arizona, whose interest would be the same as those of Cali fornian representatives, would mean a whole lot for us. We might need those two votes in the senate very badly in such a matter as the San Pedro harbor, which in my judgment, is of just as much importance to Arizona as to Southern California.

Staunch Advocate
 of Arizona
MR. ONWARD HOLDS TERRiTOR IFS ARE ENTITLED TO
 ADMISSION.
Facts and Figures Prove Necessity of Additional Representatives for the Yves. in the Upper House at the Ma tional Capital.

The following interview taken from a late number of the Los Angeles Ex- press shows the interest Henry T. OK nard, candidate for the United States Senate from Southern California, takes in Arizona and New Mexico:
 If elected l shall work to the best of my ability for the admission of both Arizona and New Mexico as sepa rate states. l believe they are both thoroughly entitled 10 the honor and benefits of statehood and that the in- terests of California and particular ly Southern California, would be great ly benefiitted by the establishment of these territories as neighboring states.
 T am absolutely in favor of indi- vidual statehood for Arizona, and in my opinion none of the arguments urged tha our neighbor is not entitled facts and figures prepared by her delegate and champions in the fifty seventh session of Congress"
 Henry T. Oxnard is firm believer that Arizona has qualified herself for and is entitled to statehood. During the fifty-seventh Congress he constant ly used his influence with senators and congressman in favor of statehood both for Arizona and New Mexico.
 Before leaving for San Francisco Tuesday Mir. Oxnard was asked by The xpres to give his views on the question, which is regarded by the majority of Californians as of vital in. terest, not only to the industries, de velopment and prosperity of Arizona h.,+ Cf habitant of Southern California. MT. Oxnard then made the positive state ment as quoted above.
 Continuing, MT. Oxnard said:
 Why should Arizona and New Mex. ico be made exceptions to a rule that has heen established by the United States government by numerous pre- cedents?
 Without burdening you with facts and figures, always have felt that the statistical arguments in reference to population. urged by statehood's op- ponents in the last Congress, fall to the ground when confronted by som parison of the population of Arizona and New Mexico with those of at least a dozen of the present states at the time of their admission. The pop ulation of New Mexico at the last census, four years ago, was nearly 100000, and Arizona, if my memory serves me right, about 10000 less. Now Ohio, the state that has fathered so many presidents, was admitted 100 years ago, it is true-when she had about one-third of Arizona's pop ulation. Wyoming, at the time of her admission, only fourteen years ago, had less than half of Arizona's pres ent population Idaho, admitted at the same date as Wyoming, had then 10000 less than Arizona has today Our own state of California had a smaller population at the time of her admission than New Meico has today.

NO CHANGE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

The members of the Christian Eu- . deavor Society who are working io bring about the establishment of an 'n' ternational peace congress, have done well to address their petition to con gress rather than to the president oi the United States.
 In their petition they cite that the Christian Endeayor Association earnestly desiring the abolition ot war and the federation of nations, re spectfully petition your honorable body. as has already been done unani' mously by the legislature of Massa- chusetts. to authorize the president oi the United States, to notify the gov ernments of the world to join in estab- fishing, in whatever way they may judge expedient, an international congress 10 meet at stated peri ods to deliberate upon questions of common interest to the nations and NO mdhE NAtA tOu U the governments"
 It is well, as we have said, that these earnest workers in the interest of uni versal peace should have turned theiI attention to the congress rather than 10 the president. for, if the words of the man authorized to speak fer hin can be counted for anything, Presi cent Roosevelt not only has no sympa thy for the peace idea, but he is firm believer in war as the only means oi settling the disputes between nations.
 In his brilliant nominating speech at Chicago, ex-Governor Black, of New York, painted this picture:
 The fate of nations is still decided by their wars. You may talk of or. derly tribunals and learned referees you may sing in your schools the gen tie praises of the quiet life; you may strike from your books the last note of every martial anthem, and yet ou, in the smoke and thunder will always be the tramp of horses and the silent rigid, upturned face. Men may prcph eey and women pray, but peace will come here to abide forever on thi: earth only when the dreams of child hood are the accepted charts to guide the destinies of men Events are mum berless and mighty, and no man car tell which wire runs around the world The nation basking today in the quiei of contentment and repose may still be on the deadly circuit and tomorrow writhing in the tolls of war This is the time when great figures must be kept in front. If the pressure is great the material to resist it must be gran. ite and iron"
 According to this official spokes man, then, the president of the Unit ed States believes in war, loves war, and is the very embodiment of the wal spirit. From him. therefore, the Chris. tian Endeavors could hope for no sym pathy in their work.
