THE STATEHOOD SITUATION.

- Upon the eye of the re-assemblins fof Congress the statehood situation From the Arizona view point, does mol present very rosy or optimistic ss pece,
 | The short session of Congress prioi to the holidays has demonstrated thal President Roosevelt and Speaker Can non are determined on a joint state hood bill joining Arizona and New Mexico together as one state. Although the Republican members in the House led by MT. Tawney, who have visited Arizona recently, have remained true to this territory and so far have re- fused to be whipped into line by the party lash, there is little doubt bus what at the last moment there will be found sufficient Republican votes to pass the administration measl-e.
 Although the present status of af- fairs appear against the dearest V isn of Arizonans. still there is a feeling of hope and confidence that on the final vote in the Senate. the higaest tribunal of the people. the Senators will refuse to perpetrate this great wrong and injustice upon free Ameri- can citizens, against their wishes api against the protest of the elected rep, resentatives of these people. The An erican citizens.of Arizona still cling 70 ha# = ate is not so devoid of all sense of justice, right and law, for the sake of petty politics, as to enact a law cou- trary to all precedent and to steal away the rights of citizenship prom ised to the people of Arizona when this political subdivision was cut of from New Mexico in 1864
 There are two courses left open to Congress in dealing with the remain ing territories:
 H. To deny them admission to the Union as separate states on the ground of lack of population or of wealth.
 2. To pass the present joint state hood bill, with a referendum clause, allowing the people of Arizona and New Mexico to vote separately upon the question of the adoption of the constitution.
 It may be good politics for the Re publican party to join Arizona and New Mexico together as one state, but the time has not yet come in the affairs of this nation when the rights and liberties of American citizens are weighed in the balance of petty poll tics.

 Bailey of Texas, says that the Sen ate has been defamed, that cheap play writers have with applause pre- .sented the Senators as grafters, the public more than half believing the insinuations. Still, he holds that no court can decide the right of any man to remain Senator. True, but con viction makes a difference none the less. Toga and stripes cannot be worn at one and the same time Then there are Senators who have forfeited esteem. According to the Texan, they should resign and go back for vindi- cation.

CANNOT END REBATES BY AGREEMENT,

The agreement of western railroad officials to inform the Interstate Com merce Commission if any roa1 shall give rebates hereafter shows that the indictments for conspiracy in Kansas City have had their effect.

It was impossible that such a punishment should come close to the men who control rail roads without producing far reaching consequences.

 recalls vividly the "gentlemen's agree ments" of twenty years ago. by which !, the railroads were to maintain rates
 and stop competition. The results of
 that series of pledges were SO hdi- t crous that they made any agreement to be good a satire and brought the

Government Agent Is Coming to

To Begin Investigation ofStand-
ard Oil Methods.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The commits
sioner of corporations, James r. Gar
field. is today preparing to send his
special agent at once to Kansas to
make investigation Of Standard Oil acts
under the terms of the resolution of p.
p. Campbell of Kansas adopted in the
house of representatives yesterday
Mr.. Garfield this morning received a
note from President Roosevelt request
ing him to make all possible haste in
getting his field agents to Kansas and
to work The president had seen the
newspaper accounts last evening and
this morning of the action on the
Campbell resolution. With his charac-
teristic energy the president the first
thing this morning had note written
to Mr. Garfield urging prompt action.
Representative Campbell called first
this morning on Commissioner Garfield.
next on Secretary of Commerce and
Labor MI. Metcalf, and then at the
White House. The president. congratu-
lated Mr.. Campbell on his resolution
and its wording He said it was just
what was needed and called attention
to the fact that he had written Mr.
Garfield. There would be no delay. the
president assured Mr.. Campbell.
Mr.. Campbell said this noon to the
State Journal CORES pOndent, Injustice
bursts when it reaches Kansas. 1t al
ways has. Slavery had it's victory and
only when it reached the Kansas bor-
der did it finally burst 1t appears
Standard OH is the personifcation of
injustice. May not. then, STANDARD Oil
finally fall in Kansas?''
Widespread attention has been created
here and in the east by the Campbell res
olution. Mr.. Campbell was called up by
telephone last night by two of the great
est New York newspapers which wanted
all information. Various attitudes are
taken by these papers, but all seem to
agree that the resolution is SEillfully
drawn. most sweeping in nature and will
probably result in much accumulated
facts to serve as a basis for legislative or
legal procedure.

Nothing could be more futile and m

Of idle men and criminals BY public
authorities, with neither the capacity
nor the energy to meet the problem
they present. These men pass through

The cities exchange them. Apparently
we have no thought of the criminahty
Of sending out criminals TO prey upon
others, nor of the inhumanity of send
ing honest, idle men from place to
place, until they are driven into crime
THE folly OF the endless chain of the
idle and criminal elements does not
seem to occur 10 our wise authorities,
who are satisfied with getting rid OF
them for a brief time.
The move on policy promotes both
idleness and crime. II is an evasion of
responsibility and a confession of in
competence. Until we find a better way
of handling criminals and idle men
than this futile and imbecile makeshift
We ought to quit boasting."
