Limited Statehood,
[Haverhill Gazette. ]

OF course all the good people ap-
plaud Senator GaHinger's amendment
to the statehood bill forbidding the
sale of liquor in the new state for Fl
years and it appears to be assumed
that in bargaining for statehood a
territory may sell or be robbed of any
part of its birthright. but how would
any of the other states of the union
like such federal interference with
what has been supposed to be a state
duty?

Now if Governor Bell really wants
to find out whether the state has an

point some square jawed persistent
