HIDING THE FIGURES.

Almost at the same moment when Mir. Roosevelt is declaring that the expenditures of the nation have been managed in a spirit of economy and that the public work of the United States has never been conducted with higher degree of honesty" we find him issuing a muzzling order to the heads of departments at Washington:
 By direction of the President, off, cials will neither discuss nor give out any information regarding the annual estimates until further orders"
 This order comes almost as if in answer to Judge Parker's arraignment Of Republican extravaganza, in which he said: "The governmental expend- iture last year mounted up to five hun dred and eighty-two millions, which is not equalled by any year of the Span isn War. Instead of a surplus in the annual receipts of about eight millions, which the present executive found on assuming control, there is now a de- felt to be found of forty-two millions. There is an inevitable result to such extravaganza" Following Judge Psrker's speech so quickly, the order from Oyster Bay has a distinct politi- cal significance.
 It is apparent that the administration is loath to discontinue any of its ex- pensive past policies; otherwise MT. Roosevelt's order would not have been made, and the estimates would be forthcoming It is apparent that the administration feels the force of Judge Parker's criticism and fears to make public an estimate of equally extrava- gant expenditures for the future. Some of the officials who received the order are quoted as saying that it would not have been issued had not this been an election year.
 Placing the seal of secrecy upou the lips of Government officials is not the kind of politics which appeals to the country. Oddly enough, too, it re- calls the administration suppression of the department scandals.

Especial to Review.)
 Douglas, Sept. 16.-There was a large gathering of citizens in mass meeting here tonight to take action in the matter of the E. P. & s. w. shops and regarding the proposed Y. NJ. c. A. building. In the first case it was decided to give the railroad anything it might want; in the second com mittee was appointed that expects to find it easy to raise 5000 in the next week, the amount the city needs to provide to get the s20,000 building.
 The meeting was presided over by W. c. Mcdonald. A. c. Lockwood was made secretary. Judge Neville made the principal address of the ev- ening, painting the great future of the building ahead steadily. in step with the progress coming to it by reason of it's natural advantages, in eloquent and forceful language that aroused much enthusiasm Shorter addresses were made by J. F. Ross, George H. Kelly, MT. Dunlap and others The senti- ment of the meeting was clearly in favor of going to any limit to get the prizes wanted. To convey this i'm pression a committee of five was ap- pointed to draw up resolutions and a committee of twenty to visit the rail- road officials and see what was wanted Il the matter of the Y. M. c. A. build ing, committee of seven was appoint ed which get to work today to collect $5. 600.

MARE THE
 ISSUE CLEAR.

The confession of Col. Allen T. Bird that pressure was brought to pear GU him 10 avoid discussion of the joint statehood scheme until after the cleo tion,' is proof that the Republican managers will attempt to carry on a campaign of fraud and deceit in Ari- zona. Col. Bird says that he has let ters from upward of fifty Republican senators and representatives showing that the policy of uniting Arizona and New Mexico in statehood has been formally agreed upon by the national leaders of the Republican party.
 It must be made clear during the en- suing campaign that Arizona rejects this joint statehood scheme with scorn and indignation. Whatever the Ari- zona Republicans may declare in their platform, we must not lose sight of the fact that the joint statehood bill pass ed the house of representatives by solid Republican vote. The Republi- can national platform is absolutely si- lent on the statehood question, which shows that the party acquiesced in the action of the Republicans of the House. Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico, has publicly stated that President Roose- welt favors joint statehood, and it is known that the president used all his influence with his party friends to se- cure a solid Republican vote for the joint statehood bill when that measure was pending in the house of Represent atives.
 The only way that Arizona can show that it repudiates and rejects the joint statehood scheme, is by rejecting and repudiating Republican candidates for office at the ensuing election. The Democratic territorial convention should make the issue clear Let it be involved with nothing else. Let us be able to declare after the election that Arizona has emphatically and for mally rejected the proposal of joint statehood with New Mexico.
 The Democratic platform should be short, clear and specific. Let there be declaration of the principles of the Democratic party as prelude, and just one plank, and that confined solely to setting forth the attitude of the party on statehood The attitude should be eternal opposition to the merging of Arizona and New Mexico.
 On this issue. and this alone, the ap- peal should be made to the people. The preservation of the autonomy of Arizo- na is the paramount issue. It dwarfs everything else; it should not be in- yoived with anything else. The na- tional Democratic party is pledged to grant Arizona single statehood "imme- diately.' The Arizona Democratic platform should be concentrated on the statehood issue. Make the ques- ten clear, and let the verdict of the people be emphatic and formal.-Cit- izen
