'I am told that . report was pub lished here that was coming to speak for joint statekood. That is a mistake. I did at one time think that joint state hood would be better for Arizona than no statehood at all. But on further ex- animation and Consideration I changed Arizona Is controlled by any such al- ternative. She will, as 1t now appears, vote down joint statehood by about sixteen to one. She does not propose to >be dragged to the altar by the nape of the neck and be made a sabine bride by Senor Don Ignacio Sanchez Pedro Bustamante, who proposes to join her $40,000. 900 of copper exports to his 32.000. 900 of wool, and play the part of Count Boni de Castellane to her Anna Gould. She respects New Mexico. She Is willing to be a sister to him-but a wife, nit It would be Ia wedding between solvency and bank ruptcy, between progress and stagna- tion. between Saxon virility and Latin languor. In my opinion, if the forty four delegates to the constitutional convention to be elected in November
 
 together. will meet in Phoenix and adopt an upto-date state constitution for Arizona alone. Arizona will be ad- nitted under 1t either by the present congress or the next one"
 The orator admitted that he had written the interview for the press and as an excuse for ais appearance on a jointure platform said that he had been misinformed by some one whom he met at that time. and admitted that he, with all his well known ability, had imputed bankruptcy, stagnation and languor to the people of the big terri tory of New Mexico, without knowing what he was talking about. He stated that he Is not being paid any big re tainer for stumping the territory for joint statehood, but that his hotel bills and travelling expenses are being paid He then went on to tell some stories in the inimitable way that has made him famous nan, never putting for ward an argument for jointure, except to enumerate some of the statements which Ainsworth had made. He then attacked the railroads, saying that they were the greatest and greediest of the trusts, finally winding up his address by reading a poem which abused all Democrats and Republicans in general. but more especially Messrs. E. E. FL lingwood, Mark Smith and William F. Cooper.
 Mir. Worsley did not go into any deep argument in regard to the state hood measure. but confined his re marks to proving that the people of New Mexico are good American citi- zens. and that the people of Arizona would not suffer by being joined to them. He told some good stories, and showed himself to be a talker of ability.
 This concluded the meeting,

COOL RECEPTION ACCORDED ID
 CONTESTS
Half of Small Crowd Leaves Before Fitch Starts to Speak Indicates Unanimous Sen timent Against Measure.

If last nights joint-statehood meet of Brewery and Review Avenues. is an example of the success which the Ans wcrth-Fitch combination mas had along the route. the people of Arizona have very little to fear from the joint-state- hood movement.
 After a long. tedious. disconnected and rambling speech by Ainsworth. and a half-ht.1- spent sy the silver tongued" orator, Fitch. in trying to ex- plain away his interview of August l., and about twenty-five minutes used by worsley in cajoling the audience, and telling them stories, what was left of the heroic little band which had turn cd out to hear the wonderful eloQuence of Fitch, wended its way home, tired. worn out, cold and disappointed.
 Promptly at 7:3o Ainsworth, Fitch and Worsley were lead to the speak CTS stand by Attorney Ross and Kurt Vom Stauffen. two of the ten jointsts in Cochise county, and were there re- ceived by Master William F. Cleary, aged 8 years, who had been given five cents worth of candy to get on the speakers stand and attract crowd. There was crowd of about two hun dred present when Ainsworth started to speak s
 Ainsworth was armed with all kinds of statistics end quoted from one book after the other. He quoted from the reports of the governors of Arizona and NNw Mexico. to show that the peo- pie of this territory would be benefited by jointure, but failed signaily of his purpose. He went into a long discus sion in regard to the bonded indebted ness of the two territories in an en- deavor to show that Arizona's fnan- cial condition is not nearly as good as that of New Mexico. but when ne came 10 prove 1t, he forgot what he had been talking about, and indulged himself in abuse of the newspapers of the two ter r,tories- He took up the matter Of the school taxes. and only succeeded in showing that whereas New Mexico had almost twice as many children as Ari- zona, yet. Arizona appropriates a great deal more money each year for the support of her schools. Mir. Ainsworth tried to explain this embarrassing fact by saying that the difference Is brought about by the fact that we pay the school teachers larger salaries than they do ir New Mexico. After consum- ing one hour And twenty-five minutes in speech along these lines. deducing any old kind of conclusion from any old kind of premises. Ainsworth gave way to the star number on the pro gram. the silver tongued orator, Thos. Fitch.
 When Ains~orth finished talking it was, estimated that little more than half the audience had got tired and gone home.
 The venerable appearance of MT. Fitch. his reputation as an orator, and promise on his part that he would not keep the audience much longer, were effective In inducing the remain ing few to listen to the great orator.
 Fitch immediately took up the mat ter of the interview which he WROTE HIMSELF on August 1. 1906, and en- deavored to state good reason for his quick change of sentiment. The fol lowing is the interview:

COMMUNICATED.

The English speaking people of the United States seem to be bothering themselves a great deal over Presi- dent Roosevelt's desire to change their form of orthography, while fin reality their worry is much ado about nothing" MT. Roosevelt, we will all agree. whether Democrat, Republi- can, Populist, or what not, is a strong executive officer, but when the citi- zens of the United States honored him by seating him in the presidential chair 1t was to govern their country mot to change their form of spell ing. Evidently the worthy president has never weighed the importance of retaining. as far as possible, the orig inal form of spelling. One must re member that the English language is in itself very poor. The greater number of it's words have been adopt. ed from other languages, and when the original form of spelling Is chang ed one is utterly lost as to the deri- vation and exact meaning of those words If the superfluous letters. as MT. Roosevelt and his little Scotch friend say, be cut out nearly every word would necessarily require dia- critical markings in order that the cor rect pronunciation be given and manuscript would look like an Egyp- tian tomb ornamented with hiero- glyphics- The older scholars would have to unlearn their well learned spelling lessons: foreigners would be at seas as to the meaning of those manufactured, Aliterately spelled words, and students of word analysis would never be able to analyze such words. The best answer conceivable to give Mir. Roosevelt on this score Is the one made by the greatest of Greek sculptors, Praxiteles. Upon model ing a beautiful statue he called upon a shoemaker to comment upon the feet. Much flattered by this courte- sy the cobbler gained courage and dared comment upon the fac.' Th,.-tA- upon Praxiteles remarked: "Cobbter. stick to your last" So 1t Is with Theodore Roosevelt. Encouraged by the courtesy already shown him he feels that he can leave politics and the field of battle to tsmper with the spelling of words. One man or one class of men can not change an old and established form of anything. Great reform Is brought about by con sent of the majority, and when the form of English spelling Is changed it will not be changed by Teddy Roosevelt, but by the educational heads of the country and their advo- cateS.

CONGRESS IN SHORT SESSION
Several Bills introduced By Repre-
sentative Geo. A. Pearre.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The second
session of the Fifty-ninth Congress be-
gan today in lively fashion, so far as
the Senate is concerned, and in a
somewhat hundrum style in the House,
aside from the animation connected
with the meeting of members after the
six-month vacation.
The galleries were crowded, and the
bright color of feminine gowns and hats
lent a brilliancy to the scene, but there
was lacking the interest in members
who are taking their seats for the first
time that is manifested at the opening
of brand-new Congress.
Three members of the Maryland dele
cation were absent from the proceed
ings in Senate and House today. They
were Senator Whyte and Representatives
Smith and Mudd. Mr.; White was in
attendance upon the funeral of General
Baughman.
Senator Rayner arrived in the Senate
chamber a few minutes before noon
after having escorted Mrs. Rayner and
| several relatives to the gallery. He
had gone over his correspondence at his
apartments at the Highlands, where he
is to spend the winter, and therefore
found little to engage his attention to-
day at the Capitol. Mr.. Rayner re-
GREETED that he was not able to be pres
ent at the funeral of General Baughman,
but he thought that the state should be
| represented in the Senate the opening
day. Mr.. Rayner said that he had not
yet formed any Legislative plans for the
session, except in the most general
way, He is watching the Japanese sit
uation very closely, especially with ref
erence to the states rights feature in
volyed in the controversy.
Representative Pearre Of Maryland,
introduced q bill to provide for the ex-
animation and license Of all telegraph
operators engaged in handling block
signals and telegraphic' train orders af-
fecting the movement of trains on all
railroads engaged in interstate COM
merce in the United States and limiting
their daily employment to eight hours.
This bill is, of course, Of general inter
est in view Of the recent catastrophe
on the Southern railroad, inwhich Pres
ident Spencer of that railroad and a
number of other prominent men lost
their lives.
Representative Pearre introduced a
number of other bills, including the
following:
A bill for the relief of laborers and
mechanics and other employees of the
United States government, injured, and
the families of those killed without any
fault Of their own, while in the dis
charge of their duties.
A bill to pension George W. Corby.
A bill to remove certain disabilities in
the case of Ezekiel Ayers
A bill to remove.the charge of Thomas
Coughlin.

that is, he is treated as the stranger
from any part of civilized Europe is and
deserves to be treated But here and
there a most unworthy feeling has
manifested itself toward the japanese
the feeling that has been shown in shut
ting them out from the common schools
in San Francisco and in mutterings
against them in one or two other places,
because of their efficiency as workers.
To shut them out from the public
schools is a wicked absurdity, when
there are no first-class colleges in the
land, including the universities and col
leges of California, which do not gladly
welcome Japanese students and on
which Japanese students and on which
Japanese students do not reflect credit
We have as much to learn from Japan
as Japan has to learn from us, and no
nation is fit to teach unless it is also
willing to learn. Throughout Japan
Americans are well treated, and any
failure on the part of Americans at
home to treat the japanese with a like
courtesy and consideration is by just so
much confession of inferiority in our
civilization.

WHEN TO PRUNE.
Late Winter and Early Spring Best.
Cut Stubs Close


The best time for pruning apple trees
is on warm days from January to
May. More can be accomplished in
the longer days Of March. April and
May, but many prefer TO 90 through
the orchard on the crust of a deep
snow.
The time OF year when the cut is
made has little effect on the readiness
with which the wound heals. but more
care is necessary to prevent injury to
trees pruned when the wood is frozen
\ wound made by removing limb
heals best if the cut is made close to
the trunk or branch.
4 stub two or three inches long does
not heal and becomes a lodging place
for spores Of fungi and bacteria. which
cause decay and death of the tree. The
splitting down of large limbs may
often be avoided when pruning by
saving in from the underside first.
but in every case see that the wound
is left clean and smooth.
Wounds should be covered immedi-
ately with coat of paint. shellac or
grating wax to keep out the moisture
and the spores before mentioned

Little Girl Burned in Horrible Manner
at Cross.

A distressing accident occurred at
Cross, on top the Allegheny mountains,
about five miles from Bloomington.
on Friday last, when Stella, the three
year-old daughter of Mr.. H. O. Liller,
was burned in such a horrible manner
that dea tn ensued the following dav.
The little girl was playing about in the
yard where kettle of pear butter was
being cooked, and while the parents
were absent for few minutes, she
placed some dried leaves on the fire. In
some manner her clothing caught fire
and in few minutes she was enveloped
in flames. She ran to the house about
% yards distant, and her screams were
the first intimation Of the accident.
When the flames had been extlnguished
her body was burned almost to crisp,
and all the clothing was burned from
her body. She fingered until about six
O'Clock Saturday evening, when death
came as a relief. The sorrowing parents
are grief stricken and have the synpa-
thy of the entire community. The fu-
neral services were held Monday-from
the U. B. church, Rev. Rau' officiating,
and the remains were inferred in the
Cross cemetery.
