never vote io enter State composed or this territory and New Mexico. Ari zona Is now qualifie for single state hool and is entitled to the same treat ment as has beea granted to the peo pie of other territories which have be come States in the past. If they car. ret have this fair treatment, unless We misjudge their temperament and sense of justice. they will prefer to re main as a territory until time shall be no more.
 As such an amendment would kill the joint statehood bill we are heart fly in favor of it and it would receive the hearty endorsement of the people of the territory.
 But no such amendment will be adopted. The power behind the joint statehood bill would not consider such a proposition as they know perfectly well that such an amendment would mean the death of the measure and would take a shorter route to an abandonment of the purpose of the joint statehood measure by sticking it into a pigeon hole and allowing il to remain there.

If Bisbee is ever to be made a healthier city We believe it will be only by a sewerage system which will carry beyond the danger point the sewerage of this city. The present system is insufficient and must be remeCied. This is a problem which the city council must solve in the in terest of Bisbee. For years this ely suffered for the lack of good water and a sufficient supply of 1t. That trouble was relieved by pumping the water from Naco. This has demon. strated also the practioability of a sewerage system in this city which can be easily flushed and made to carry away the disease breeding filth which now festers on the hillsides and in the gulches of the city. There is nothing now so necessary for the con Jinued growth and prosperity of Bis beeN as an efficient sewerage system and the city council we believe Will rceive the support and encourage
 ment of the people of this city in any feasible proposition for city sewerag

STATEHOOD
 IN THE BALANCE.


 The situation as regards the joint statehood bill presents little that is reassuring. It is very evident that the Republicans in the Senate unde. the leadership of Senator Beverage, are determined to pass the bill, and with the approval of the& administra- tion. The decision of the New Mex ico delegation al Washington, com posed of Governor Otero, Delegate. elect Andrews, Surveyor General Llewellyn and Judge Baker, to with draw their opposition, leaves Arizona, of the four territories, 10 fight single handed, relying upon the opposition Senators comprising the Democratic members. excepting Clark, of Arkan- sas, and the three Republican Sena. tors, Foraker. Bard and Alger, to of fer a successful resistance to the in. iQuitions measure
 Mir. Beveridge has made known h.s intention of calling up the bill on the first day after the holiGay recess. which will be on January 1. Of course there will be dilatory motions offered by the opposition. and MT: Bard has given notice of an amend ment eonfning the provisions of the bill to the state to be formed by the union of Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory. and eliminating all reference 10 Arizona and New Mexico. The only hope of defeating the bill is the pro longation of the discussion and ob. structive tactics, which if earnestly maintained may be successful in pre- venting vote being reached at the short session. which will be crowded with important legislation.
 The knowledge that Delegate J. F. Wilson and Mark Smith are on the ground, doing everything possible for the preservation of ArizOna's autono- my, is gratifying. Their intimate ac- quaintance and influence with Demo cratic Senators will have weight in holding the opposition in line. Fur ther than a perfunctory protest, no assistance can be expected from B. 4. Fowler. and it is evident that Governor Brodies appeal to the president has been of no avail
 IL becomes more and more apparent that the people of Arizona acted wise ly in returning Mark Smith as dele gate to Washington. To. have elected the Republican candidate would have been interpreted by Congress as the tacit acceptance of the Republican partys statehood program, and no voice would have been raised in Sen ate to oppose the great wrong Of fore ing Arizona into 2 humihating and dis sstrous union with New Mexico. As 1t is now, Arizona's cause is strongly champiored by a resolute minority strong n this conviction of right. and We ale still hopeful that so great a calamity as union with New Mexico will be averjed.-Globe Silver Belt

! AMEND
 THE STATEHOOD BILL.

One means O. meeting. the danger that now threatens AcizoHa win a merger with New Mexico is to have the present bill so amended that the same shall not take effect until both Arizona and New Mexico have voted in favor of such merger.
 This would put the matter in the power of either territory to defeat the merger clause. And the people oi either territory should have this powe-. It is a right they have to demand and the people do cemand this right.
 : 1T a. any time the people of these two territories desire a consolidation CT a merger Of the sane. such a1 amendment to the bill would give them a right 10 determine.
 If Congress refuses to make such an amendment 10 the bill it will be visit ing a great injustice upon the people of both territories.

FORGERY

Wholesale forgery by men not yet
fully described to the police has re-
suited in the victimizing of num-
ber of lodging house and saloon keep
ers during the last three days.
The forged checks have been sign
ed in the name of Walters & Mauser
and with Mr.. Walters name person
ally. Walters Il Mauser are mining
men in the Empire State building.
At the Luverne hotel one check for
$12 was passed in payment for a
room. At the Hotel Brundake a
check for $40. signed with the name
of Walters, was passed in payment
for 50-eent room, the man getting
$3.50 in change.
Complaints are coming into the po-
lice station by different victims, but
so far the descriptions of the man or
men have not been given sufficiently
accurate to warrant an arrest.
