Because the Senate called Pres
ident Roosevelt down in his outre-
constitutional policy to establish u
Dominican protectorate, is no rea
son why he should not exercise his
strenuousness in pushing the re-
bate, interstate commerce and Fed.

these propositions, but they can't
threaten him with impeachment

THE STATEHOOD BILL.
The Senate TO Vote ON the House Bills
Admitting Territories to State.
hood Next tuesday.

The House bill for the admission
Of the four territories, New Mex
leo, Arizona, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, will he voted on in the
Senate next Tuesday. The bill rs
it passed the House provides for
the union of New Mexico and Arr.
iona rs one state and for Indian
Territory aud Oklahoma rs another
State. Several amendments to this
bill have been attached in the Sen.
ate, aud these will be considered
first under the ten minute rule, and
then will come the vote OH the bill
itself. There are almost rs many
opinions as to the outcome, SAYS
the Globe Democrats Washington
special, as there are Senators. 1t
becomes apparent however, the
more the opinions of members are
canyassed that the only thing Ger.
tam as to the outcome of the vote
will be Statehood for Oklahomu
aud Indian Territory as single
State, with a prohibition clause in
sisted upon rs "A part of their first
constitution Even with this con-
clusion admitted, there is doubt as
to what attitude the House will
take on the extensive amendments
made by the Senate to the bill.
Some clements in the Senate now
find themselves together for the
first time, perhaps, in the history
OF that body. Republican senators
from the far West and middle
West are in accord with the al
most united Democracy of the sen.
ate. There is Bard OF California,
a Republican senator, who is op-
posed to statehood for any Of the
four territories under Considcrl
ton. Moving from the Pacific
coast to the middle West, there is
Foraker, who is leading the Re.
publicans who oppose the bill in
its present form, an outspokcn ad-
vocate of making each OF the four
territories state. Then there is
the influential Joe Bailey of Texas,
who is most interested in seeing
that New Mexico alone is admitted
to statehood, Again, of the Dem
ocrats, there is Teller, who thinks
that New Mexico and Oklahoma
should alone be admitted To the
Union at this time, and Arizona
should be made to wait for future
action.
The bill, as urged hy Senator
Bcverridge and the majority ot the
committee on territories, provides
Tor the union OF New Mexico and
Arizona III one state. 1t also pro
vides for the union OF Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma in another
state, or two states out of the -four
territories. This is the shape in
which il passed the House. The
programme Of those who oppose
this bill is 20 so handle the amend
ments 50 that statehood will AT
first be assured to Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. The amend
ments that follow will be directed
to giving separate statehood to
New Mexico, and if there is strength
enough to do it, then give statehood
to Arizona. The best opinion is
that the task OF providing for
statehood for Oklahoma and In.
dian Territory will be easy, and
that there is channe of doing the
same thing for New Mexico.
There is grave doubt on all sides
of statehood being given TO Ari-
IONA at this session by the Senate.

The Desert Transformed

Thirty-two years ago there was but
one house in the town of Fresno, in
the central desert in California. A
hole was dug under it, forty feet deep,
into which the inmates lowered them
selves by bucket and windlass, to
escape the heat of the day. Around
1t, as far as the eye could see, stretch
ed the glaring desert, unbroken by
any cultivated spot of green.
To-day this spot is the center of a
cheerful community of 5000 homes,
in land made fertile by irrigation.
Ten thousand children attend it's
public schools. The industries there
yield $14, 100000 annually. The
raisin crop of 1902 put into the farm
ers bank accounts 100000. All
the raisins imported into the United
States in 1902 amounted in value to
only 100000. In1902 the oil wells
of Fresno County yielded $4,000
barrels of crude petroleum, worth
100000 before refining. Eighty
nine head of cattle Craze on it's rich
alfalfa.
When a few struggling fortune
hunters came to the county late in
the sixties they we're welcomed b2 this
sign hung over Fresno's one building:
"Bring your horses. Water, one bit,
water and feed, three bits" Fresno
was watering station" only. In
1872, however, Mr.. M. j. Church con.
ceived the idea of bringing water in
bitches from Kings River, twenty
miles away, to irrigate the land. His
proposal was laughed at as dream
er's scheme. But persistence won; in
1876 he had water on land within
three miles of the town of Fresno, and
the first years crop proved the toll
to be fertile. The area of water
ground was rapidly extended. To
day there are 100000 acres under
irrigation.-World's Work.
