A bill for the admission of the
four territories as two states passed
the house at the last session. 1t is
pending in the senate The under
standing is that the senate leaders
are to use II as a club to ward of
bills they do not want considered,
and that it is to be passed in the lat
ter part of the session. 1t may fail.
Practically the unanimous opinion Of
those who have taken an interest in
it, however, is that the bill will be-
come q law.
Within 40 days after the action OF
congress the people of each of the
new states will elect delegates to a
constitutional convention. The men,
bers Of this convention will serve
so days with pay, and as much
longer as they please without pay.
An election to vote on the new con-
stitution and select state and other
officials must be held in not less than
so days nor more than six months
after the adjournment Of the con-
stitutional convention.
This makes it practically certain
that before the end of 1905 the ter
ritories will have taken their places
among the states.

Two New Stars For

The admission of Arizona

change in the United States

new stars. There are now As
stars arranged in six rows of
seven and eight stars, alter

the symmetry. But there is
no arbitrary rule for arrange

even star arrangement of the
stars have been resorted to in
the past.
Originally. stripe as well
as star was added for each
new state. But, in 1918, the
number of states having
reached 90, congress reduced
the number of stripes to 10, to
typify the original states, and
enacted that ION the admiS-
sion of every new state to the
union, one star be added to
the union of the flag, and that
such addition shall take effect
on the Fourth of July next
succeeding such admission.

Chile Con Carne.

What is chile con carne? Every citi-
zen of the Southwest knows it well,
but perhaps there are residents of the
Northern belt of the country who are
probably quite unfamiliar with this
toothsome dish, yet one which should
be especially acceptable to the people
of the northland.
Chile con carne, Spanish term,
translated literally means chile-red
peppers with meat. Properly pre-
pared, it is stimulating, warming and
extremely grateful to a cold and hun
CRY stomach. From one of our Mexi-
can ambassadors comes the following
method for preparation-a recipe direct
from a famous cook in the capital of
our sister republic to the South

Painful Ambiguity.

Secretary Shaw was telling an au-

G. A. R. men of his State, how the
world was growing better. He PIC
tured the conditions when he was a
boy and now. He told of the advance
in the last few years in industrial
conditions, and ended by saying:
Veterans, the world is much better
now than it was when you were born,'
and everyone of the veterans ap-
plauded loudly. "And it will be bet
ter when you have passed to the be-
yond," he continued. For few min
utes the audience did not know Just
how to take the remark, but finally
they decided to give the speaker the
benefit of the doubt and applauoed

SIR HENRY IRVING

the road again. and even to present
plays of only medium merit, unwor-
thy of his gifts, to keep his head
above water. Music hall jingle and
horse play, cheap but stirring melo-
drama, and problem plays foul with
smut, had overthrown in his own cap
ital the first actor of his day.
Our own Edwin Booth, we should
all remember, trod this same hard
road. After he had reached the top
with US, and was rich, he established,
and sought to maintain, a temple
where the drama in it's best estate
could be enjoyed by all who held the
playhouse in veneration and affection.
The structure was the finest of it's
kind in New York, and beautifully
furnished. He opened it himself, with
supporting company of unusual -ex-
brief-he proSpered. His till was filled
every night, and praise of his enter
prise and devotion to art was general
and generous.
But he could not hold the public to
his splendid endeavor. Taste u1fder-
went a change. What has since come
to be known as the commercialization
of the theatre set in, and in time
Booths venture failed. The shows
triumphed, and~the temple devoted to
real dramatic art was razed to make
room for business block. Stripped
of his fortune, Booth, as more recent
ly Irving, had to return to the road
and resume the habits of a wanderer.
He prospered, of course, but never, as
his friends believed, recovered from
this blow to his professional hopes.
The subject is much discussed, and
some interesting things are said on
either side. But, however the public
may feel, it is to the glory of these
two great actors that they resisted
with all their means and influence

Pay of Russian OhTcia1dotn.

Those who keep track of affairs in
Russia note the prominence of the
Grand Dukes. These gentlemen of the
people enjoy a sinecure unlike any
other on earth. There are over fifty
of them, and each is possessed of an
annual income or salary of 100000,
all combined imposing a burden of
$100,000,000 year on the Russian peo-
pie, as members or off-shoots of the
Royal Family. Their property, like
that of the Gar, amounting to a vast
sum is untaXed. The question may
we'll suggest itself, why should Russia
want to borrow war funds in Paris
when she has her Grand Dukes un-
tapped-and even untaxed? There is

He was much pleased with the place,
but was quite bored by his host, who

they point to the necessity of protect
ing through wise use a mountain re-
g1on whose influence flows far beyond
its borders with the waters of the
rivers to which it gives rise.
Among the elevations of the eastern
half of the United States, the South
ern Appalachians are of paramount in
terest for geographic, photographic
and forest reasons, and, as a conse-
quence, for economic reasons as WELL
These great mountains are old in the
history of the continent which has
grown up about them. The hard
wood forests were born on their slopes
and have spread thence over the east
ern half of the continent. More than
once in the remote geologic past they
have disappeared before the sea on the
east, south, and west, and before the
ice on the north; but here in this
Southern Appalachian region they
have lived on to the present day.
UnG r the varying conditions of
soil, e, yation, and climate many of
the Al llachian tree species have de-
yeloped. Hence it is that in this re-
glon occ, that marvellous variety and
richness Of plant growth which have
led our ableSt business men and scien-
lists to ask for it's preservation by the
government for the advancement of
science and for the instruction and
pleasure of the people of our own and

end the preservation of the forests is
an Indispensable condition, which will
lead not to the reduction, but to the
increase of the yield of agricultural
products.
Ne are Losing Millions of Dollars
Annually.
The floods in these mountain-born
streams, if this forest destruction
continues, will increase in frequency
and violence, and in the extent of their
damages, both within this region and
across the bordering States. The ex-
tent of these damages, like those from
the washing of the mountain fields
and roads, can not be estimated with
perfect accuracy, but during the pres
ent year alone the total has approx
mated $10,O00,000, sum sufficient to
purchase the entire area recommended
for the proposed reserve during the
past year the flood loss was probably
twenty million dollars. But this loss
can not be estimated in money value
alone. Its continuance means the
early destruction of conditions most
valuable to the nation, and which nei-
ther skill nor wealth can restore.
The preservation of the forests, of
the streams, and of the agricultural
Interests here described can be sue
cessfully accomplished only by the
purchase and creation of a National
Forest Reserve. The States of the
Southern Appalachian region own lit
tie or no land, and their revenues are
inadequate to carry out this plan.
