PUSH THE BILLS.

Tt POSSIBLE the bills now in the
4 legislative committees should be
brought before the respective bodies
and acted upon in order to avoid the
rush which will soon commence.
/. Many OF the bills presented 50 far can
be acted on without hearings being
given TO the interested parties others
may require them. Fix your time for
those hearings now. gentlemen, and
get them out Of the way.
The life OF a member of the General

HUNGRY CHILDREN.

writer has had no experience with the

know hunger as a stern reality, not a
question OF cultivation. only to be
appeased after many helpings from

Oklahoma is ready for statehood,
and with the addition OF Indian Terri
tory which she is TO embrace, will
possess a population and sufficient
industry and wealth to cause her to
rank well among the Western States.
But the bill as it finally passed in
cludes New Mexico leaving Arizona
knocking in vain for admission. Now
Arizona is not yet sufficiently developed
Tor statehood. She has a vast terri
tory. most OF which is embraced in
the desert area. Perhaps irrigation
may transform her alkali beds into
nourishing farms and pasture lands.
but that day hasn't dawned.
The proposition to admit Arizona
and New Mexico as one state was re-
jected for the reason that the terri
tory would have been too vast with
too little population. Possibly the lat
ter has a SUFFICIENT number Of in
habitants. but when we consider their
nature and how scattered the settle
ments are. there is "a prospect that the
Navada folly may be repeated.
But we shall soon have done with
the territory problem as far as the
United States proper is concerned. To
create states in the future we shall
either have to divide old ones or &c
out to our outlying provinces.

PERIL TO SHIPPING.


THE Atlantic seaboard from Hat

is almost suspended. while even har-
bors which are really part Of the sea,
like the Delaware Breakwater, are In a

all descriptions. wedged tightly in the
See and unable to move. The Delaware
Bay is sealed. and the fear now is OF

whole mass sweeping out TO sea, and

Even when navigation opens again

is estimated that half OF the buoys

Facts About Marriage and Divorce.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.
Facts about marriage and divorce
are grievously lacking. From the con-
stant activity OF the divorce courts we
have reason enough TO believe that di-
vorce is increasing year by year, but
just TO what extent the evil is growing
we have no accurate means OF deter
mining. Random figures from this
court or the other for a day, week,
or a month can stimulate interest and
feed wrath, but they do not give the
basis for clear and sane Judgment.
Congressman Crumpacker's joint res
olution calling upon the Census Bureau
to compile divorce statistics for the
last seventeen years is, therefore, to be
welcomed. Through no other agency
can the necessary facts be gathered so
readily and 80 accurately. The resolu-
ton should be passed.
The understanding is that the resolu-
tion viii be followed by the introduc-
tion of a bill for the Federal control Of
divorce. Why such a bill should be
introduced in face OF the general admis-
sion that Congress has no power to aot
in the premises without a cOnstitu-
tional amendment is not apparent
