From St. Johns Herald News

Patriotism is highly laudable. 1t covers a multitude of sins; also covers real motives sometimes.
 The convention in Phoenix was composed of patriots who denounc- ed ioint-statehood. This denuncia- tion is taken for unadulterated patriotism. No doubt 1t may be so viewed
 We do not question the purity of the motives of those patriots who denounced jointure in Phoe- nix. Their denunciation may be unadulterated patriotism.
 For the territory's leaders to de- nounce joint statehood is the most effective way of having no state hood at all for the coming decade; for the party leaders have declared in favor of joint statehood.
 All the great corporations which have big interests in the territories are bitterly opposed to statehood of any kind; but they are not say ing anything about it. They don't have to; Congress and the people are doing the talking for. them. Congress wants the kind of state- hood that the territories do not want.
 See how nicely the corporations have their little statehood business fixed. See how easily Congress may say to the territories: We can't give you statehood at all just now; we will have to wait till you are united in the matter
 It has been charged by some who seemed to know that the cor porations are giving value received for the work which is being done for them. They ought to.
 But where is the unadulterated patriotism of those who receive the pay, while Justify crying against jointure?
 Then, again, it was published to be an anti joint statehood conven- tion. That precluded all attempts to discuss both sides of the ques- tion, 1t was to be an anti and 1t was just so
 No one opposed to plans of the patriots. except Col. Bird, who was supposed to be ready 10 go up to the anti-mourners'. bench) was in vited to attend. But the colonel wasn't ready to be prayed for at that camp meeting of the two hun. dred. It was one-sided affair and it does not show the entire status of sentiment in the territory
 No joint statehood advocate could enter the sacred portals VIDE: Albuquerque's request that Col. Rodey be invited.
 It does seem doggone funny and paradoxical to a fellow in Apache for 3 Republican governor, ap. pointed by president who is ia yorable to joint statehood and con. firmed by senate which boosts joint-statehood, to call an anti joint-statehood convention for the democrats of the territory. The democrats are wise in this day and generation. you bet. The demo crats are all right when it comes tt this part of the game. The Herald Neles would be democratic if by be- ing so it could get something out

l PATRIOTISM SPOILED IN INCUBATOR
 7n Fellow Ac. Sees More Funny Things Than ihe Man s Tree

Of the governor for Apache county. Ditto other federal office holders.
 But federal office holders in the territories of Arizona and New Mexico, partly, are getting ahead of the power that appointed, 1t seems. These officials are appoint ed to carry out the provisions of the government as the federal laws direct; but we see them here call ing conventions to tell the powers that be what to do in the case of ioint-statehood, and all the time drawing their regular salaries. That's funny to a fellow in Apache.
 Hon. M. A. Smith was at the convention, but he didn't have much to say.
 He didn't have to say much; !; the republicans, whom he has been fighting for twenty yaars, were do- ing all the talking and scheming for him. Marcus, like the corpor- atlons, Is onto hls Job.
 Apache county sent no delegates to the convention; but Maricopa had host of delegates and gave us Eli s. Perkins for a delegate.
 Apache has notion to stay in line with the policy of the general government, as there is no likeli- hood for matters to get much worse for her by having joint statehood.
 Col. Mahoney and Col. Nelson represented Navajo county in the convention. Navajo is not making much ''fuss" over the business, but the two delegates went down and helped the democrats and capital defenders give jointure the lock jaw, if possible.
 Col. Bird wasn't recognized as a delegate. In fact, the colonel got into the wrong pew and said as much.
 Coconino was represented by five delegates and Mojave by six.
 Every little while the idea gets to be more apparent that it is 2 sectional fight and not territorial fight against jointure.
 Apache county authorized no one to act as delegate to the conven+ tion. But the fact that d repre- sentative of Apache county did ap- pear is but another proof that the PEOPLE of the territory had nc great big protest to enter against jointure. We don't object to Eli but we do object to having no voice in the matter of whether or not we have delegate.
 l The democrats really have a good political cause for fighting l jointure-they don't want to see another republican state--and we don't blame them a bit for the light they are making. But, Ohl Jehosaphatl just think of republi- cans-a few of them--fghting the national party which is giving them their berthsl And fighting against making another Republi can state!
 The emphasis was placed on thu assertion that 1t was full meet ing' by both political factions ir the convention. Well, if thaf means anything else except tha the whole territory was in sym pathy with the movement, wei let that pass.

NNAib1 VI 12s 1tey WAASi WV bASAN AhbC consideration the manner in which they were selected, may or may not represent the sentiment of the majority of the territory.
 Hon. ] B. Patterson was elected county secretary and the editor was elected county treasurer of the Anti Joint Statehood league of the territory. We'll, this is an honor unsought on the part of each of us. There is no temptation to be treas urer, as the funds that would come in from this county on such basis wouldn't feed grashopper over night And Mr. Patterson says the record-making here doesn't re- quire a secretary on that side.
 Apache county feels that she nas nothing to lose in joint statehood, or nothing to gain by single state hood In fact, when the past is considered, protection to her i'm dustry is couched in joint state- hood. And the true status is that the whole of northern Arizona, each county more or less, has more in common with the territory on the east than with the southern part of this territory. The greatest hurt ever done to the chief indus try of the northern part has been done through the policies institut ed and upheld by some of the southern counties. Therefore, northern Arizona counties should seek protection, and they will be found doing so when the matter Is better understood.
 Out of the delegates who com posed the convention, 166 were from Maricopa county. This was as it should be, for the anti-joint convention is conceded to have been held in the interests of that county.
 { Hon ]. c. Adams was chosen Chairman of the Anti-Joint State hood league. Mir. w. B. Cleary, secretary. NJ. Fulwiler, treasurer. ] All these gentlemen are Maricopa delegates.
 What political convention would allow one county to control it? If they couldn't help themselves, of course any convention would do I it.
 1 According to some expressions used in the convention feeling in the territory against jointure is almost unanimous" people of Arizona against it" "the whole people of Arizona against it" "un- animous,' etc.
 Probably, 166 may have repre- sented Maricopa; Yavapai had 20 delegates there, from three towns, who represented 3,100 voters, only about 500 less than Maricopa had last election. Cochise had 24 dele- gates to represent her 3,376 voters. Graham, delegates for 1900 voters; Pima, IA for 1900 voters; Pinal, 14 for HOO voters; Coco nino, , for ,000 voters; Gila, 2 for HOO voters; Yuma, 8 for 800 voters; Navajo, 2 for 500 voters; Mohave, for 500 voters; Apache, 1 for 500 voters.
 Outside of Maricopa county, six is the highest number of towns or comm unities of any county repre- sented.

GOVERNMENT ADOPTS
OIL BURNING SYSTEM

Some months ago the Advertiser in
quired why the oil-burning system was
not considered by the government for
the pumping plants of the Honolulu
waterworks, in view of the good re-
suits obtained by private steam users
on large scale, not only in economy
of fuel outlay, but the reduction of the
smoke nuisance.
Now the Public Works Department
has taken action in the matter. con-
tract for installing oil-burning appara-
tus in the Beretania- street pumping
station is pending. Soon, then, the
thick trail of bituminous coal smoke
from that public smokestack, which
spreads like a pail over the city when
ever the trade wind slaekens, will be
abolished to the great Improvement of
the air that Honolulu residents breathe.
Bids for the apparatus mentioned have
beer opened at the Office of the Super
intendent of Public Works as follows:
Honolulu Iron Works Co., As

4 HUNDRED LAUGHS PER
HOUR IN THE SERENAOE

When the curtain rings up on THE
round of jolly festivities, one hundred
laughs an hour, and a performance
well worth the money. Much has been
said of 1.-The Serenade'' during the past
audience to appreciate and encourage
our amateurs to their long sought prize.
That the show will be success was
proven last night, when, at the dress
went through the score without any
difficulty.
Those who love music, song and
mirth will have their treat tonight, for
there is plenty of each in THE Sere-
made" The cast is strong one and
many of the names appearing thereon
have been heard to good advantage
in previous productions. Mr.. E. M.
Boyd, as Gomez, has very difficult
part to portray, and goes into it with
that easy go-as-you-pleaSe sort of way,
thereby creating an additional amount
of side play. He works good deal
with Colombo. the busted tenor, a part
cleverly carried out by Mr.. Robert
White, and they are certainly fine pro-
vokers from their very first entrance.
Mr.. Colman Schwartz, Mr.. Arthur
Macintosh and Mr.. Marshall Webb, al
though having minor parts, lose no OPP
portunity in taking advantage of any
quiet spell that comes over the audi
ence.
The curtain will rise on the first act
promptly at eight fifteen, and patrons
of the production are requested to try
and be in their seats by that time If
possible. The intermissions will not be
long and the show will be out at about
the usual hour. A few uncalled for
seats, together with some scattering
single ones, are to be had for tonight's
performance. while standing room will
no doubt prove well worth the while.

a spacious structure but. as many pas
sengers are not often kept waiting long
for car there, it will prove a great
boon while rain is falling, even when
il may occasionally be crowded.
