complished to any notable degree,
but evidence Of what may be accom-.
plished Is seen In the stu ms OF New

Much has been accomplished In
New York through reform In the con-.

It Is passing strange that, while the
government pays fairly good wages
to Its civil service employees and the
tenure Of office Is comparatively Ger.
tain, that It IL difficult to secure men
TO I'LL the vacancies. Under the
"spoils' system there Ia no difficulty
OF this sort. The explanation may lie
IN the fact that present prosperous
conditions enable men to secure bet

not fully convinced that they will get

GOV. hA0ERMAN AND JOINT
STATEHOOD.

The Denver Republican says:
The declaration Of Gov. Hager
man OF New Mexico that he favor'
joint statehood for that territory
and Arizona Is significant. Recent
ly appointed by President Roose
welt. he may be supposed to reflect
the latter's views upon tina subject.
II Is probable that a bill providing
for the admission OF New Mexico
and Arizona as one state will pass
the house of representatives al the
approaching session. but the posi-
ton OF the senate remains In doubt.
No doubt. however. senatorial opp0
sition could be sufficiently over
come to secure passage OF the bin
II President Roosevelt were to take
an active interest In the matter.
Much difference OF opinion ex.
lists among the people OF the two
territories In regard to joint state
hood, but there Is little doubt that
were II not for a lingering hope of
separate statehood for each terri
tory, the plan of union would find
acceptance.
Gov. Hagerman's open advocacy
Of joint statehood will stimulate
that cause and gain It many adher.
ents, for he possesses greAt person
al al well as official influence.
Many men Of eminence In New
Mexico entertain the same view.
and II will not be without able and
eloquent champions In case the pro.
position to unite the territories In
one state Is submitted to the PEG.
pie.
There Is no doubt as to the truth OF
the statement made by the Republi-
can that Mr.. Hagerman reflects the
views Of President Roosevelt regard
ing the statehood situation. The Re.
publican Is also correct In the as
sumption that Notwithstanding the at
titude of the president and in the
assumption that Notwithstanding the
attitude OF the president and Of the
new governor that there Is going to
be a big fight In congress over the
form Of statehood to be granted. Ari-
Is still clamoring * strongly to
be left out entirely rather. than be
forced into a joint statehood form Of
government, that It Is not at all un.
likely that the senate may pass the
same kind Of bill this year 1t did last.
Neither is 1t unlikely that the arbit-
rary speaker who has usurped powers
