both local club captains announce a large

anxious to win positions in the junior crew
for the peoples regatta on the Fourth.
There are several boat loads of candidates
for the positions in the crew, and every
thing looks favorable for the wearers of

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, DEC. "A, 1905.
Not Inferior but .Di1ferent."

Golfers Weekly has had a great deal to say on the subject of statehood legis- lation and has endeavored to be inn unprejudiced. The question has been viewed by Golfers from both sides and the arguments of each have been com mented upon. Now and then, though Golfers has been handicapped by mis- understanding. For instance, in a re- cent number it is stated that the chief objections of Arizonians to joint statehood is their feeling of superiority over considera- ble portion of the population of New Mexico. That is an error and very important one since it obscures the real and stronger objection. The Re- publican from the beginning has tried to make it clear that there has been no comparison between the population of Arizona and the population of New Mexico. There has been no thought among those capable of thinking prop erly, of the questions of superiority and inferiority. This paper has deprecated the use by the minimizing of the word "Greaser' in connection with our New Mexican neighbors.
 It is usual for the ignorant to be- lieve that his own race is the best. His patriotism is measured by a very simple, narrow and fixed standard. The ignorant American believes that an American is as good as two English men, or Frenchmen or Mexicans. He thinks Americans are more inteIlectu- al than people of other races. The less intellectual he is the higher his opinion of the intel lectuality of his kind Ignorant Englishmen, Frenchmen and Mexicans feel the same way. Thus it is among the ignorant that race prejudice chiefly thrives.
 It is not contended that the Mexi- cans of New Mexico are inferior, but that they are. different" Many of them are well educated and even cul- tured, the masses of them are educa- ted in their way as the masses of other people are educated in their ways. But the ways are as different as the race and the languages. It would take gen. erations to bring about a coalescence and there could never be assimilation.
 In time, if New Mexico and Arizona remain territories or if they become seDarate states, the customs and man. ners of the former will be gradually and impcrceptibly removed by the flow of eastern population, just as French Louisiana has become gradually but surely Americanized. But to put upon Arizona suddenly the task of Ameri- caHizing Arizona the Great" a task that belongs to generations and the whole country is a cruel folly. It is that to which Arizona objects, and not to the people of New Mexico.

rIr. Edison,s Vision

For tn past three or four decades it has been the dream of the devotees of electrical science to release all of the energy stored in coal, without the enOr- nous waste involved in present meth ods of combustion, and to utilize that energy in the form of the electrical current. Among the more prominent of the electricians who have essayed the solution of the problem is Thomas A. Edison, and he has been unsparing in time and money in the endeavor. While admitting that success is not yet within sight, MT. Edison is quoted as expressing the opinion that it will be accomplished during his lifetime.
 In order to even partially appreciate the importance which would attach to obtaining energy direct from coal, it should be understood that less than six per cent of the potential energy is actually used in the convenient in candescent lamp. The remaining 94 per cent is dissipated, so far as use full work is concerned, in the process of combustion and in the various appli- ances necessary for the operation of the lamp. The most visionary experiment ter does not seriously hope that all of the 94 per cent of dissipated energy will be conserved for useful work. It is, however, the belief of MT. Edison and others that, ultimately, d sufficient proportion of the loss will be recOuped to much more than quadruple the value of the remaining coal deposits as avail able sources of energy.
 In spite of the confidence of MT. Edi- son and the belief of hundreds of other electricians, the proposition recalls to the lay mind the dreams of ancient al- chemists who sought, and equally as diligently, for the secret of transmut- ing baser metals into gold. In a far different way, and to a degree which has added lmmeasurably to the worlds industries and progress, the electrical magicians, of whom MT. Edison is an advanced type, have solved the prob lem of the alchemists, but in a practical way of which the ancient delivers into nature had no conception. No man can compute the value of modern dis coveries in the sciences of electricity and chemistry. Human life has extend ed it's span not only, but the advant- ages afforded by the results of these researches have made one year of life worth ten of the dreaming years of the ancient alchemists.

A little more than twenty-four hours before the opening of the first terri torial fair the signs are most auspi- ciOus. There is a crispness in the at mosphere which not only adds a zest to enjoyment but gives a reasonable assurance that the week cannot be marred by rain which is not unusual at this season of the year. All the arrangements for the fair are now complete, while they were not at the time it was thought necessary to change the date from December f to December 25. The apprehension that the holiday week might curtail the attendance from otler parts of the territory has been allayed by reports from all points, by the presence of lib eral exhibits representative of the whole territory, and by the arrival al ready of hundreds.

WAS PAST REsUscITATIoN.
The Court Could Not Err, So the
Claimant Was "Extinctus
Defunctus."

In the days of the first settlers in tho
Chickasaw country, when Davy Crockett
still frequented the Big Hatchie, "Old
Man Giddings" was prosperous citi-
zen of the Forked Deer settlement.
One day he started on trip to Arkan-
sas. and thenceforth for several years
Forked Deer knew him no more.
AS travel in Arkansas was dangerous,
and as nothing was heard of Giddings,
he was officially declared dead by the
court, and his estate divided among his
heirs. A year or so later, however, he
turned up and tried to get possession 3f
his property. He was promptly seized
and taken into court.
"What do you mean by coming round
here. trying to take this property"
roared the court at him.
cts my property asserted Giddings.
Everybody knows it's mine"
''Not at ALL replied the judge. "PIl
admit your case seems hard one, but
it can't be helped now. This court has
decided that you are extinctus defunctus,
which is Latin for dead. This court
cannot err. Dead you are. If you want
any property around here you must take
another name and set to work to earn
it. Mr.. Sheriff, adjourn this court, and
we will all go and see that wrestling

time But we should add that suits
are very much the fashion, also, and it
is difficult to choose between the long
coat and the short-coat suit; let becom-
ingness decide the matter for the in
dividual. One is about as fashionable
as the other.
Fur trimmings are in use as they
have not been for a long time, in fact,
Paris has carried the fur trimming to
a ridiculous extreme, putting it on
the sheerest of materials. Lace and
fur are combined very prettily as
trimming, the one sets off the other;
but we do not fancy gauze frock
loaded down with brown fur. The
dark furs are very smart, and dark
fur-lined cloak with an immense white
collar is sometimes seen. Muffs are
larger than ever, that my lady may
thrust into their warmth her cold
wrists and arms, barred by fashions de-
cree.
We are extremely fond Of the ell
bow sleeve for summer wear and for
house gowns in the inclement season,
but are far from approving OF the risk
of it for street dress in winter. No
matter what substitute is made, under
sleeves are apt to slip down and the
cold creep in at the hiatus. A whole
sleeve, anyway, is warmer; but not all
