Several things are being told by

other is that Che republicans will be

politicians, who are interested In hay
ing Us many offices as possible. The
people Of the two territories want
union The whole theory under which
congress has been working for fifteen
years In setting Off parts of the In
dian Territory to oklahoma has been
that the entire tract would be admit
ted some day as a single community,
The republican party will carry out
this idea this winter, Nor Is there
the faintest reason for tho story that
the republicans are going to be bull
dozed into admitting Arizona and New
Mexico as separate states, They will
remain united In the bill, as they were
when that measure passed the house,
and IL they refuse to accept those
terms that will be their own affair.
The bill will pass congress, II will
provide for the consolidation OF the
four territories into two states, The

The Ominous Feature.
Many people in Arizona still insist
that there is no probability that the
joint statehood bill will pass. We
cannot agree with them. 1t is not a
good policy to shut ones eyes to facts
simply because the facts are not pleas
ant.
The ominous feature of the state
hood situation is that the country Is
for the bill. Almost without excep-
ton. the Republicans exchanges from
all parts of the United States advo-
cate tho passage Of the bill. The
newspapers reflect public opinion. and
public opinion rules In this country.
The arguments advanced everywhere
are epitomized In this extract from
the st. Paul Globe, the leading demo.
cratic paper of the northwest:
This bill ought to be pushed
through congress in the face Of all
opposition. AS long as these terrific
ries remain territories, their citi'
zens are denied some Of the rlNinest
rights common to us all, AS long as
they are territories there will be con
slant pressure for their admission as
states, with the probability Of repeat
ing our disastrous experience with
Nevada. There will be no end OF agi
tation until all the territories are
wiped out: and the only desirable end
the only end that would not involve
actual misfortune to the country, Is
that contemplated by the bill to admit
the territories consolidated into two
states. It ought to receive the unan
imous vote of both houses OF con
gress.'
Il Not only congress, but the public
is tired of the statehood agitation
There is a general desire to bring |
to an end, and it is felt that the pend
ing bill will justly meet the require
ments,

Take Down the Tariff Wall That
Stands Between Them and Us.


We are taxing the people of the Phil

! rates on their products that are import
&c into the United States. They are
! naturally asking us to abolish. or at
least reduce, that eXor',itant tax on
, their business relations With us. The
| United States bought the Philippines
! from Spain. and we have undertaken
to govern them for our own benefit. 1t
has proved 10 be a costly experiment
| and will probably always remain a tax
upon the American people. But to
raise up tariff wall to prevent their
! products from coming here and our
| products from reaching them wonld
seem to be taking an unfair advantage
of L poor dpfenseless people The only
excuse for taking the Philippines and
governing them in the way that impe-
rial governments rule their colonies is
that it will eventually he profitable to
the American people. But even the
financial prospect is not encouraging.
for al! of our profits SO far would not
pay for the beer thai the United States
army in tie Philippines consumes. The
only Way they ever will be a proitabla
investment is to encourage them to
grow tropical products that we need
and so give them money enough to buy
our products in return. a high tariff
tax at both ends of the route will not
bring that about. yet the protectionists
are opposed to aboiiShino or even re-
ducing the tariff wall between us
The representatives in congress of the
protected industries. such as sugar and
tobacco. are denouncing any attempt to
reduce the Philippine tariff and declare
they will fight it more bitterly than
they fought Cuban reciprocity. The
llmc must come however, if we contin-
uc to hold the Philippines. when there

more reason for Il tariff wall between
us and the Philippines than there was
for continuing the tariff against Porto
Rico. We have reduced the tariff on
cuban products. and we Go not own
that island. How can we refuse to do
better than that for Our own colony?

fhe astounding informal ton is given
IN the report Of the auditor of the post
otl:ce department that nearly 100000
$50 is Paid the railroads for transport
.n% the mails without any vouchers
showing the service rendered or the
weight carried or any details of the
transaction except that so much money
is due some corporation. Is it any
wonder that under such loose system
the amount paid the railroads constant
~ and largely increases? How much
graft there is in these secret transac-
tions between the postoffice and the
railroads has never been discovered.
but evidence has been produced in
congress that the rental of the postal
cars is double each year the price at
which new cars could be purchased
The weight of the mails carried and
the system of weighing are. on their
face. padded in the interests of the rail
roads. The postmaster general in his
report. just published, says that the in
creased cost for the group of states
known as the middle west is 1905 per
cent, and yet the growth Of the post
office business for the whole country is
less than 8 per cent The claim that
the smaller CRAFTS in the postoffice de-
partment have been investigated. while
the greater ones have not been un-
earthed, seems to be proved from the
reports of the government officers who
know the facts and cannot entirely con-
ceal them

Will Have Reason Some Day For
Regretting That They Ever Heard
of Panama.
There is no doubt that some Of these
United States. especially those border
ing on the gulf of Mexico are extreme
" anxious for the ratification of the
Panama treaty. The business men of
those states think their material inter
ests will be much improved with the
canal an accomplished fact, and they
are apparently willing that the coup
d'etat of President Roosevelt in seiz-
ing the isthmus shall be condoned even
if great wrong has been committed
In thus encouraging international law
lessness and overriding solemn treaty
with sister republic those who are
arguing the consummation of the in
iquity may well pause and inquire if
their OK may not be the next to be
gored.
If the president of the United States
is allowed to set aside treaties he may
soon override the constitution if the
occasion arises to profit politically by
SO doing, and the business interests Of
the very states now demanding ratiti-
cation would be the first to suffer. The
only safeguard for peace, safety and
good government is Il strict compliance
with law, international or domestic.
The evidence that President Koose
velt has either carelessly or purposely
set aside the provisions of the treaty of
1916 is to be found in senate document

But the captain was very clear on the
main point. for he added. Il am fully
aware of the fact that by treaty and
convention we are not supposed to take
charge until the Colombian government
has announced its inability to guard the
road. That was the law then and was
the law the other day when our officers

thus only year ago we were assisting
Colombia in asserting control over Pan
ANA, and now we have resisted her eff
forts in that direction
How do President Roosevelt and the
Republican senators justify this course?
The president said it was in 1.-The inter
est of civilization" That phrase has al
ways been used by kings and emperors
When they wanted warrant for usurpa-
uon, but republic cannot indorse such
doctrine unless it is on the verge of i'm

senators give any better explanation.

their liberty.
