DRIVEN TO THE DITCH THEY DIE CASTING

The Congress of the United States does not need the consent of Arizona to make one State out of the two Ter ritories of New Mexico and Arizona. Supposing that an enabling act be | passed joining the two Territories into one State without giving the voters the privilege of saying by their ballots whether or not they want iointurel What then. And, without joking, this may be done. If not, why not? Just because the Federal and Terri torial officials, mining companies and Iailrosd corporations of Arizona do not want iointure. should that be s good reasong-Santa Fe New Mexican.
 Conceding that iointure Is doomed to defeat, its advo- cates belittle themselves and stigmatize the Administra- ton at the White House by insinuating that such a meas ure might be attempted.

And now the postal author ities prop ose to take a hand in politics. They will decide whether postal cards sent out by candidates or their friends are proper or improper. Any card which obviously reflects upon the character or conduct of any individual will be ex- cluded from the mails. Doubt less there may be some cards that deserve to be excluded, but where will the line be drawn and in whose favor? It is a dangerous power to in trus. to an institution which may be run as a political ma. chine, and the fact that il is to be resorted to affords an other instance of the tendency of those in charge of the U. $. mails to regulate the morals and conduct of all people ex- cept their own.

Mexican Decision
 Affecting Arizonans

According to the Bisbee Miner the court of the first instance at Cananea yesterday gave decision giving the Gold Treasure mine, operated for some time by the Arizona Mining & Devel- opment company, and placing it in hands of the original owners.
 The decision was rendered by Judge Linares only after months of deliber- ation.
 Several months ago the property was turned over by Manager Sparrow to Ex-Consul Max Gavito, who has since been acting as receiver pending
 the decision of the court.
 The decision Is said to have been
 based on violation of the mining Ia V
 oi Mexico, one of the provisions oi
 which is that all annual meetings o
 companies operated within their bor-
 ders shall be held in Mexico. Thi,
 provision was violated, the meetin, being held in Oklahoma City. , The case is one which represents ar especially interesting side to owner of mining property in Mexico, as tn mine has been involved in intricat [ legal proceeding for some time It ? especially interesting to Bisbee people 5 as several of the minority stockholder 2 reside there. Charges of fraud an g counter fraud have been made by bot l sides and the final outcome of the ca: = is awaited with interest by all minin l. men.

Eastern Interest In
 the Statehood Fight
