Bisbee daily review., 1905-01-08

The bar association committee, which it is proposed to send to Wash ington. should loose no time in reach ing the national capital The men who will be named on the committee will DO doubt be able to do some eff fective work in opposition to the joint statehood bill, by pointing out the many tangling conditions which would be encountered by the new state, be- cause of the difference in the laws and governmental systems, now exist ing in the two territories The state- hood hill now has the attention of the Senate and the sooner our protesting committees reach Washington the bet ter While there is opposition to the bill the greatest alarm now prevails in the territories and among friends in Washington that the controlling leaders in the Senate will push the bill through at an early day. unless they be influenced by the earnest plea of Arizona to stay the blow now aimed to merge Arizona into a position of servitude by making it portion of state which will be dominated and controlled by New Mexico.

AN IMPERATIVE DUTY AND VICTORY.

The Bisbee Rev.ew makes the very practical and sensible suggestion that when the Arizona legislature convenes it should at once organize and then the legislature should, as a body, pro -ceed to Washington to make a fight against the joint statehood bill, which if passed means the disfranchisement of the citizenship of Arizona. This is a good suggestion. The Star 7 endorses the proposition, because the defeat of the bill is of more concern to Arizona than any law or laws the legislature could possibly pass.
 Such proceeding on the. part Of the legislature would at once partake of the highest spirit of patriotism It would awaken the people of the coun- try to the fact that the people Of Ari- zona understood their rights and had gone to headquarters to declare and maintain these rights.
 Such an embassy sent to Washing ton would GO more than score of committees. because they are the chosen representatives of every sec ton or Arizona.
 The Arizona legislature in Washing ton pleading the cause of the people would be heroic. It would call out the best thought. the best sentiment, of the people of the entire country It would excite a sentiment irresistible 1n its results.
 It would win the fight Yes. it would be a victorious move.
 The legislature can make an appTo- priation to pay the necessary expense of such a visi, to Washington. Better do this than waste the peoples money in extra clerk hire and other. useless appropriations
 The railroads should give the legis- lative body free transportation going on such mission.
 The danger which confronts Arizona calls for heroic measures: it calls for something out of the usual course of things; it calls for the boldest. active, most pronounced manifestation of the demands of the people that can be in- voked
 The proposition to have the Iegisla- ture present itself as a body at Wash inston. as 2 living, active, determined, protest. against the great wrong at tempted against Arizona and her citt zenship. will bring the victory to A-i- zcna Hence the Imperative duty which presents itself to Arizona's law making bOdy.-Tucson Star.

AGAINST IT.

There is a decided difference in the system of statutes of New Mexico and of Arizona. in irrigation and mining laws. especially. there are differences that are very important. It will be difficult to reconcile those differences by new legislation which will be ap- plicable to both parts of the new state. Says a prominent legal authority "A change in a system of laws is a . far more serious matter, more difficult to accomplish, and more grave in it's results, than even change of gov ernmental forms" Of course, these are matters. to which the few joint statehood shouteIs, who have only selfish and personal ambitions ;o gratify, pay no attention. After they have attained their point-the deluge. Yet. unsatisfactory as is the present territorial form of government. it is preferable 10 the inevitable confusion, higher taxation. and business depres- sion, which must follow a forced and unprecedented mes-alliance of two great commonwealths that differ in their systems of laws. in their re- sources, in the nature of their people. in their aambitions and in their ideals.

WILL GET
 GOOD BARGAIN.

According to Governor Brodie's an. Inual report, the bonded indebtedness Iof Arizona is less than $1,100,0 ,0O0. That cf New Mexico is today only s95O,O00. and comparing per capita in- debtedness, is only one-half that of Arizona. Yet, under the Rodey. Hamilton statehood bill, the entire in. debtedness of the two territories IS to be assumed by the new state; in other words, New Mexico must help to pay the debt of Arizona. In ad. dition to its bonded indebtedness Ari. zona has guaranteed the interest on the Pima county railroad bonds and has entered into other financial obi. gallons that the new state would have to assume, the burden falling up. on the people of New Mexico in i greater part. Lacking in many other particulars, the Rodey-H milton "'l lacks specially in justice to the O.
 pie of this territory.-Santa Fe New
 Mexican.
 1 New Mexico is to be congratulated on the small public debt owed by the territory. The general impression in i Arizona has been that it was much i larger. If joint statehood becomes a | fact New Mexico will have no cause
 to complain on account of the paymen;
 Of the new state debt, as in the ac- quisition of the fertile valleys, rich
 mineral districts and unexcelled cat
 tie ranges New Mexico will get the
 pick of the bargain counter.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-01-08

Should the Arizona legislature de eide to go to Washington in body to protest personally and officially against the passage of the joint state hood bill we suggest that the law makers be accompanied by all the ter ritorial officials. Such a trip would call the attention of the country to the great outrage threatened to the people Of Arizona.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-01-08

Those news papers which argue that joint statehood for, Arizona and New Mexico will mean less expense and lower taxation, argue like the young man who is very anxious to marry. He repeats to himself the proveTb that TWO can i've as cheapiy as one, but it does not take him long to find out that the maxim is based on a fallacy
Bisbee daily review., 1905-01-08

To join Arizona and New Mexico into one state is like hitching an OK and burro to the same plow-at the best, it makes a lame team and will get mighty little blowing done. Two independent commonwealths cannot be taken and squeezed into a whole like putty, even upon the mandate of the junior Senator from Indiana.

Meeting at Long Cane.

One OF the best meetings we have had for q
long time, closed last Sunday.
Rev. DIR. Neville, president OF Clinton Col
lege, came TO US on ,turday before the End
Sunday, and preached twice each day Except
ope) un til the 3rd Sunday.
His sermons were Scripturel, plain, prac.
tlcal. and some OF them were powerful. IN
earnestness. clearness and conviction. 1t
was preaching that made Us feel the guilt and
enormity of our sins, which IL the truest
scriptural preaching. We can never know
all the results OF the meeting. but we can
hearts and lives OF all the members. And
there we're twelve professions, and all OF
these were added to the church. The proper
tion c; boys wis unusual; nine OF the twelve
additions were boys, and all but one are just
entering INFO young manhood the danger
aud we COD fess we felt much concern about
these noble boys. lest they should fall TO con.
fess Christ as their Saviour at this critical
period OF their lives. We now rejoice that
they have taken the stand for Christ.
The congregations grew all the time: and on
the last day there must have been 500 people
present. The attention and behavior were
good throughout the meeting and was fre'
quently remarked upon by DIR. Neville. He
seemed to enjoy preaching to our people, and
often said that It was one OF the most atten-
tive congregations to be found anywhere, 1t
nificent congregation a. we had last Sunday,
and such as we often have. One feels as the
dear Saviour felt when be beheld the crowds
-"moved with compasslon." We now nave
next to the largest mem berPhtp In any coun-
try church in the Synod OF South Carolina
bers. But our congregation, Or. Neville says,
is much larger even than old Bethel church.
All this means opportunity. Brethren let us
use IT, j. Q. ShiVe.

CURRENT TOPICS.

Owing to the rapid growth of the
United States, the English language is
now spoken by more persons. than use
any other civilized tongue.
Whether there is to be peace in the
Far East or q continuance of the war
will practically be decided at the first
business meeting of the Washington
conference which meets at Portsmouth
N. n :, this month.
A curious member of the vegetable
kipgdo ON has been discovered in the
Far East. 1t ia species of acacias
which grows to hight of about eight
feet and when full grown closes its
leaves together in curls each day at
su nset, and curls its twigs in the form
of pigtail. After the tree has settled
itself in this way for q nights sleep,
like most sleepers, it objects to being
disturbed. If touched If will hutter as
if agitated and impatient at the inter:
ruption Of it's slumbers.

To Crush Ice for Ice Creafff.

The persons who complain that thew

two things-a good freezer and the Sc
oret Of performing the mechanical side
process In preparing the ice cut off

pounds from the block. Put it in a
bag and hit it againest the stone or
brick wall OF the cellar, which will
break it into Jumps the size of an ap-
ple' Then spread the bag out on the
cellar floor, and pound the ice with
a wooden mallet untill it as fine as
coarse salt, and empty it into a
bucket. Use coarse ice salt.
Nix with the crushed ice one-third of
Its bulk of salt, and mix them
thoroughly Pack the freezer to
the top with this. Put on the lid and
let it stand ten minutes or until
the inside. of the can is covered
with hoar frost, when it is readv

s25O,0OO,OOO FOR PEACE.
Morgan 1OfOrms President He ID
Ready to Raise Fund.

J.P. Morgan is ready to finance
peace. He has informed President
Roosevelt that he will guarantee to
cell in America from $2OO,O0O,OOO TO
$3.50, 900, 900 of Russian bonds provided
peace comes quickly.
Joined with Mr.. Morgan in this
great move to end the war are said to
be the Rothscbiid Ids, who are the bank
ing kings of Europe. The plan of the
ppaciers is to make it easy for Russia
OF declare peace, but to render it i'm
possible to continue the war.
The amazing advance this week in
the price of many railroad stocks in
which Mr.. Morgan and his friend are
most heavily interested is declared by
bankers to be the direct sequel of this
great enterprise for stopping hostili-
ties. Morgan knows there will be
peace. therefore Morgan buys socks.
That is the argument OF the financial
community.
The reasons why Mr.. Morgan should
desire not only peace, but at the same
time to please Russian are obvious.
Heretofore America has not bought
any of The Russian war bonds, while it
has purchased about $1S0,OOO.OO0 of
Japanese war bonds. Sympathy has
been largely with Japan.
But when peace comes, Russia will
be in position to bestow vast deal
of traGle upon America if it desires to
do so. There will be warships to
build, railroads and bridges to con-
struct. Mr.Morgan and his United
States Steel friends are eager to be 90
friendly terms with Russia to get q
share of this business.
