TIE srArEHoop QUESTION.

AbE ~ ALdbUD RbGe ADNF
The Fifty-ninth congress ought to dis
pose of the statehood question and there
is reason to think 1t will do so. No in
formation Of a definite nature has been
given to the public indicating what the
senate committee on territories, which
really controls the situation, may do,
but there is reason to believe that it
will not permit this question to go over
to another congress. There is no JUST
fable reason why it should do so. I'm
questionably two Of the territories that
are seeking admission are fully
equipped for assuming the duties and
obligations of statehood, while the others
are admittedly in better condition to be-
come states than were some of the pres
ent states when they were admitted.
The question of making one state of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory and
another of New Mexico and Arizona is
yet to be determined and it constitutes
an issue which may not easily be set
tied. The people of the Indian Territory
have declared for separate statehood.
They do not want to be Joined to Okla
homa and they assert that they are quite
able to take care Of themselves and to
carry on a state government as well as
any other young state has ever done.
They present statistics Of population
and resources which appear to fully JUS
4frr haf lot Tn rnnorH IN Arivnna
the people of that territory are abso-
lutely opposed to the proposition that
they should be absorbed by New Mex
leo. They insist that they should be
given separate statehood and claim that
they are fully equipped for it. Arizona
has gained some support in this direc-
ton from q recent visit of a congress
sional party, which made an investiga-
ton of the resources Of the territory and
the fitness of the people to assume the
responsibilities Of statehood. According
to report these congressman became
convinced that Arizona is fully equipped
for statehood and should be given it at
once.
The Fifty-ninth congress should put
an end to this statehood controversy by
giving each territory a place in the
union Of states. Every one of them is
able to present just claim to such con-
sideration and no plausible excuse can
be found for denying 1t to them. Be-
fore another year has gone by there
should be four more stars added to our
| national flag.

INDIAN SUMMER.

The stiffness that doth wait on change Is

BEHOLD how nature answers death! Ger

Lavished and lost her wealth of sun and
Scarlet and gold, are in her drifting

Vain pageantry! for this, alas is death,

THE BANKRUPTCY Law.

In various quarters there is being
manifested a great deal of interest in
the national bankruptcy law and some
of this has reference to the question Of
more or less redical changes in the law,
There is in some directions a very pro-
nounced feeling that the act should
either be repealed or materially mOdi-
fed and it cannot at present be deter
mined how extensive or general this
feeling is. What is unmistakable is
that there is more or less dissatisfaction
with the operation of the law and that
those who feel this way are determined
TO bring what pressure to bear upon con-
gress they can to either secure radical
amendments Of the law or bring about
its repeal.
At the recent annual meeting of the
association of New York credit men the
most important subject considered was
the bankruptcy law. 1t is interesting
to note that the general sentiment was
not hostile to the law. The president
of the association said that the law is
better than no bankruptcy law and that
while It has its faults they can be cor
rected by amendments. "a determined
effort" he said, will be made by GER
tain interests to have the law repealed
as soon as it can be brought about Its
repeal, in my opinion, would be calam-
ity to the commercial world, and it be-
hooves us all to be on our guard and by
word and act do all we can to prevent
its repeal" He pointed out that before
the law was enacted it was a scramble,
a constant fight to maintain ones rights,
while under the law of today every
creditor and the honest but unfortunate
debtor is more fairly treated than ever
before
There is no doubt that this fairly ex-
presses the opinion of those who have
given the law a careful and unpreju-
diced consideration. That Il can be i'm
proved as to some of its details no one
will deny There has never been claimed
lOI IL lldJ IL 10 Il pCllCSI luN' ~ uOoAS
with conditions that are necessarily COM
pick and consequently troublesome and
1t was not to be expected that the law
would be free from faults and defects.
But the best testimony in regard to it is
that in the main 1t has worked well and
that under it's operation most of the
abuses and evils that existed prior to
it's enactment have been done away with
and a better state of affairs introduced
between creditors and debtors.
For years and years the necessity of
national bankruptcy law was persist
emily urged by the business interests OF
the country. The existing law was en-.
acted at the instance of those interests
and they should now earnestly support
it, asking only such changes as expert
ence has shown to be wise and neces
sary.

The enormous Increase in railroad eouin-
hent and extension is one of the wonders
OF the present business year. One can
hardly conceive the necessity of It, and
yet II exists, for the cry is necessarily
heard Of car famine" The expansion is
not confined TO any system or section. They
all seem to be sharing In the marvellous
prosperity. There is a recent instance that
will serve to illustrate the extent of the
pressing needs OF the great railroad sys-
TENS. The Pennsylvania company has or
dered fully $26,OOOOOO worth OF work-5OO To-
comotives and 1900 freight cars on a re-
cent date. Deliveries are required as rap
idly as possible, but II will be far into the
year 1906 before this order is filled
Another great system, the Rock IsIand,
has added more than 500 miles to its track
age siLce making it's last annual report.
These vast extensions require additional
cars and locomotives. In supplying them
allied industries are kept running full blast
and with ever-increasing facilities.
A car-constructiOn company announces
that there are inquiries for fully 5000
cars in the market Millions Of dollars
will be expended for them, and still the
roads show increased net earnings. Of
ficials say the earnings at present would
be greater If they had the equipment
That equipment Is being ordered in such
large quantities and by the most substan-
tial lines is the best evidence of eneour-
agement In the outlook for a long-contlnued
season OF prosperity. Railroads order for
the business ahead. not for present bust
ness. and the factories will be running a
year hence supplying these orders.

1t is intimated that the registration on
primary election day would not count
and hence every voter who registered
September 10 would have to re-register.
On what grounds this assumption rests
is not conceivable. The object of regis
tration is to prevent election frauds and
facilitate the work of polling the votes
on election day. 1t is not intended to
harass voters and obstruct voting. 1t
is not claimed that the registration
boards that acted ON primary election
day were illegally appointed. 1t is not
claimed that they perpetrated any fraud
in registering voters who are not en-
titled to the free exercise of the fran
chise. 1t is not claimed that the regis
tration Of these voters would hinder or
obstruct the legitimate expression of the
popular choice through the ballot box.
why, then, should anybody who has
registered once be put to the trouble,
annoyance and time loss incident to re-
registration? Who would dare dispute
the right of a man to vote at the elec-
ton, and what court would deprive him
of that right, If he has once registered,
even though the primary election law
should be knocked out by the supreme
court-especially If the decision is not
rendered until after the registration
days have been passed.
