1t stands TO reason that the in
PRODUCTION Of agricultural training
in the public schools will have a
tendency to check the rush of
country boys to the towns by Civ
ing them higher appreciation Of
agricultural pursuits, and will also
cause town raised boys with a lik.

seek the country and aid in its de-

Tho selection of q presiding officer Is one of the most important acts in the organization of legislative body, its su ubsequent deliberations being in q large measure affected by the charac- ter, fairness aud ability of the man chosen to govern it. Tho legislature of Arizona needs man of sound and conservative Ideas, with comprehen- sive knowledge of the territory's needs, whose influence will be exerted iu be- half of the peoples interests and for the preservation of Arizona's good name and financial integrity.

One of the many serious objection, to the merging of Arizona and New Mexico as one state IS pointed out by the Santa Fe New Mexican "There IS decided difference in the system Of statutes of New Mexico and of Arizona, In irrigation and mining laws, especi- ally, there are differences that are very important. It will be difficult to recon cile those differences by new legislation which will be applicable to both parts of the new state. Says prominent legal authority, "A change in a system of laws is far more serious matter, more difficult to accomplish, and more grave in it's results, then even a change of governmental forms. Of course, these are matters to which the few joint statehood shouters, who have only selfish and personal ambitions to gratify, pay no attention"

Governor Pennypacker is the prod uct of state and party the most cor. rupt In America, and his desire to suppress all criticism of the acts of public officials is perhaps natural, but in undertaking to gag the newspapers of Pennsylvania he has to use an inele- gant but apt expression, "bitten off more than he can chew" He would have enacted law empowering any half dozen of his henchmen to prefer complaint against newspaper, al- leging ibelous and defamatory publica

With the almost unanimous senti- ment prevailing in Arizona against joint statehood, we have never beeD apprehensive that 1t could be forced upon us. There are so many ways of fighting the unjust measure that its ul- timate defeat seems almost certain to be accomplished. There seems to be a probability of the bill being amend ed, AS proposed by Senator Foraker, to allow New Mexico and Arizona to vote separately on the constitution, in which event Arizona would certainly reject any charter intended to accom- plish the purpose of the Hamilton bill. The Douglas international American offers the suggestion that in the event of the passage of the joint statehood bill it would be an easy matter to elect the forty-four delegates allowed Arizo- na in the constitutional convention, pledged to oppose the framing of any constitution at all, relying upon the strong sentiment known to exist in some parts of New Mexico against jointure, to effect a combination that would control tue convention and de- feat the purpose for which it was called. The suggestion has merit.

Those politicians and newspapers of Arizona that have been for the past ten or fifteen years booming statehood are now ind dlging in frenzied appeals to be saved from so deplorable fate as the merging of Arizona with New Mexico. If they could be given their just deserts, without intlicting punish ment upon the respectable and de- serving people of Arizona, it would be serving them right to be condemned to live under a government dominated by the 'greaser" element of New Mexico. There was no real sentiment among the substantial citizens of Arizona demand ing statehood for this territory until in recent years, after the subject had been dinned necessarily into the pub lie ear, and even now the feeling pre- vails that if Arizona can escape joint statehood, her people will be content with territorial form of government for few years longer at least, The rapid strides which Arizona is now making in the development of her great natural resources will within five years give her the population and wealth that will command respectful hearing to her appeals for just treat ment from congress.
