The Common CcGEci! $ adavaTTttiissiiHiiS to the effect that it will receive propo- sitions for a sewer franchise in this city. The giving of a franchise for this purpose will be regretted by res idents of Bisbee just so long as the sewer is operated by a private eompa- my. There is only one logical course for a city to pursue ill taking care Of its sewage, and that is by means of municipal ownership and control. If we are correctly informed a member Iof the Council stated at the last meet ing that connections could be com pelled with private sewer. We ques- tion the correctness of this assertion. There is no law compelling citizens to patronize a private enterprise of any nature. The charges for a sewer connection with system controlled
 by private capital would be many times the cost if the sewer system was under municipal control. Bisbee needs a sewer system. Without it the sani. tary conditions will never be satisfac tory, but it would be far better for
 the taxpayers to build their own sew
 CT and operate it, than to pay monthly
 rates into the treasury of a private lcorporation.

Word comes from New Mexico that the voting population will never vote to adopt a state constitution under the provisions of the Hamilton bill. The Mexicans in New Mexico have the balance of power under the pres ent conditions in that territory. and they are not willing, just yet, to blind ly follow the lead of the politicians into the new state. where they would be forced to occupy the back seats.

 The same harmonious condition which has prevailed in BisDee for many years has been transferred to Douglas with the smelters. A man who holds a responsible position in 'cne of the Douglas smelters remarked to the writer that nowhere is no enter prise could a better satisfied lot of em- .ployes be found than those employed at the smelters. Around the furn- Iaces. especially it is most pleasing to note the spirit of rivalry which exists between the various shifts in the mat ter of output of copper.
 No community can offer a greater .inducement to capital to make invest lnents in it than a peaceful labor con- |ditlon, and let those who are now in- terested in business in Bisbee and Douglas lend their constant effort and influence to maintain the present splendid condition of industrial peace in this greatest industrial section of Arizona.

It is to be hoped that the efforts ol the business men of Prescott, in an en deavor to have the Rough Riders re union meet in Prescott in 1906, will be successful. The unveiling of the O'Neil monument at that time would be the occasion for cementing again those ties of friendship and love born on the battlefield. It was at PreS colt that the first squad of Rough Rid ers assembled, and Capt. Wm O'Neil was the first to sign the roster. The people of Arizona in general feel an in lhis territory.

THE STATEHOOD OUTLOOK.

Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico, or more correctly speaking. MT. ROdey, who was delegate from New Mexico, but who at the last election was rele- gated to the political woods, has de livered in an off-hand manner the fol lowing anent the statehood situation:
 New Mexico is coming into the Union at the next regular session of Congress as a joint state with Arizona. The bill to this effect will be reported out of the house committee to the floor of the house within one week after the beginning of the session. It will be acted on as a party measure. and will go into the senate. Thence it will go into senate committee and VIII be reported immediately without amendment. By party vote it will then be made unfinished senate busi- ness.
 "All this will occur before the holi- days adjournment. After Christmas when the senate reconvenes, under the rule governing unfinished business, the bill will be debated and passed.
 'It will be an omnibus bill, mak- ing two states out of the four territo- ries. It will provide 24.OO0 900 acres Of land for the institutions of New Mexico and Arizona, five million dol. lars in cash for the school fund. and sl50.0G0 to pay the expenses of con- vention and election"
 Delegate Rodey has just returned from Washington, where he remained over few days after the session of Congress to get the lay of the land and the official program at the hands of the Republican managers. There IS no longer any doubt but what the Republicans will again seek to yoke Arizona and New Mexico together in joint state hood at the next Congress. That party is irreyocably committed 10 that policy, and was only prevented from carrying out its plans in this di- rection by the Democratic minority assisted by few stalwart Republi- cans, such as Foraker, who refused to write the lie across their own nation al platforms for the past twenty years
 The passage of the joint statehood bill forcing the citizens of Arizona and New Mexico into an alliance that is distasteful and detrimental 10 both, will be the political crime of the century if carried to a successful cul. animation. Why this unseemly haste 10 destroy a political subdivision of the Union that at this time possesses more of the requisites for statehood than had thirteen other states at the time they were admitted? There may be some excuse for denying Arizona statehood at this time, but there is none for this proposed action at the hands of the Republican party Ari- Zona's future was never brighter than at the present time. Before the year is closed this territory will have talk en first position in the production of one of the most important metals of the age, and it's population is growing by leaps and bounds. We still have confidence in the honesty of purpose of the American statesmen. Surely there is enough of the old school left who will stand out for the right against wrong; for justice against in.

far better, he said, than the McNinch
bill He said the McNinch bill, ac-
cording to Mr.. McLean's stand, gave
causes for divorce which were unWar-
ranted by the Scriptures. He asked
what was the sin Of putting a wife
away. In holy writ there were no di,
yorce courts; man was his own Judge
and jury, and il was putting his VIE
away. The divorce law of God cannot
be made the civil law of North Caro-

is to provide laws for the conditions
that exist. We are not denying God $
law. The 1eCency, good order and
peace of the commonwealth is best
conserved by reasonable laxity in the
divorce laws. He said that he knew
of not one single instance of Where
society had been hurt when a divorce
