RUSSIA ADOPTS A POSITIVE
 PROGRAMME.

At last the Russian government seems to have realized that the way to prolong it's life is to make substantial concessions to the people. Killing peas ants and workmen is no longer circc- tive, and the government will actually begin to distribute the lands.
 Nearly 2O,oO0,O0O acres will he sold to the people on casy terms. This will not only tend io reduce the enormous revenues of the royal family and its parasites, hut it will tend to break the power of the government machine in the provinces, and to establish more independent citizenship. But after an 2O,OOO, ,OO0 acres is n small amount. and nt 70 acres apiece it would take care of only 500,000 families. Probably much of it is rough land. not fit to pro ducc profitable crops. If 100000 fam flies are relieved in this way it will he n miracle. The population is 150.. 000.000, the annual increase 2,000,O00, and poverty and lawlcssncss are almost universal.
 Still, the land distribution will serve to keep the people interested for awhile. II shows at least n positive program. which has been conspicuously lacking heretofore in the government and the duma. It is better than shooting down the petitioners. as was done at the palace gate. It is better than turn. ing soldiers loose on Jews in the cf. fort to distract the populace.

Editorial Comment
WOULD CURTAIL ARIZONA'S
 EXPERIMENTATION.

One feature of paramount import ance to the entire west well as to Arizona, in the statehood question, has attracted little if any comment.
 The people of Arizona and New Mex. leo owe it to themselves and to their postcri,y to do nothing to reduce their possible representation m the senate.
 To accept joint statehood now, in place of waiting for single statehood, even though long deferred. would re. semble Esau's selling his birthright for A mess of pottage. We have no right to do it: such action would be treason to our pos'.rity.
 IL does not require keen observer to perceive the sectional lines now drawn in congress between the east and west. However much it is to be regretted, such is the ease, just as they were drawn in the 'iO's and sos between the north and the south. The east is now bent upon domination of legislation. If the territories are fin. ally admitted as separate states. the east will prcdominate m the senate. To Keep that prcdominancc as narrow as possible, we should not forcgo the pos. sibility of having four senators instead of two. Increased representations will bc good for the west, as well as for the country at large.
 Even more conspicuous than the mere element of partisan politics in inc joint statehood scheme, has been the purpose to make impossible the "mcn- ace' of four more senators from the west. Arizona and New Mexico are destined to have vast populations whose interests in national Legislation will be vital as those of other states. What we lo now will endure for gen. crations, if not forever, for the wei. fare ar disadvantage of the people of New Mexico and Arizona. and of the whole west. Western states are ad. vaneing in population ana wealth with astounding strides. On the basis of actual population. the west is already nnder-representcd in the senate. Al. though our representation in the house will grow with our population, it will remain forever the same in the senate. and Arizona must get all she will be entitled to for years to come when admitted to statehood. She must for. feit nothing which will serve her for generations to come.

Score Stood 9 To 6 At The End of The
 Game
Robinson's Playing At Short Stop Was A
 Feature
(From Tuesdays Dally.)

The five inning game of ball played on the home grounds on Sunday after. noon last between the Missing Links and the Swastikas resulted in n score of l0 to j in favor of the former.
 The game was warm one through ont. and was Inc source of much amusc- mcnt tu over 3Oe people m the grand stand as well as to an almost equal number gathered along the fence on the north side of the grounds. The hlacksmths proved easy victors oyer the boilcrmakcrs. but it is said that the team of the latter was much weakened on account of some of the best players of inc SwnsTikas being compelled to work nt inc shops while the game was in progress. \ return game has been asked. and will. no doubt. bc arranged at later date.
 The Diamond Jos easily proved their superiority over thc Jerome ball team although inc good fielding of \. Rob lnson, shoris,op for the visitors was tho principal feature of the game. During the nine innings the copper city shortstop never allowed any hall com ing within his range io pass. ani was thc source of more disappointmcn's 10 members of inc Diamond 1o ninc in reaching first base than all of the other players of his team.
 The visitors expressed themselves as highly pleased with the reception given them by the home team. and expressed themselves as being anxious for re- turn game as soon as some better play. CTS are added to their nine.

ARIZONA REPUBLICANS AND
 JOINT STATEHOOD.
LEI lpaso IIcrnld.l

Some of the friends of joint state. hood in Arizona are trying to get Republicans to join their forces on the plea that joint statehood is a Republic. an policy, and President Roosevelt '- policy, to oppose which is disloyalty to the party.
 Quite to the contrary, to oppose joint statehood is the greatest service a Re publican can perform to his party. The policy is unworthy of the party and of the administration, and its defeat would bc n kindness to them. IL is bad politics for the Republican party. as we'll as bad policy for the nation as n whole. and for every part of it.
 After all. the question is broader than my mere party considerations, and Arizona people of both parties will vote against jointurc. New Mexico has far more to gain by the forced mar riagc. and she will favor it. though even for New Mexico it would be better to wait awhile for single statehood than 10 enter into the joint arrangement.

CAN SUCH THINGS BE7

Golfers Weekly has given n wider currency than it would normally re-. ccivc to the address of Senator Bailey at Celeste, Texas. This dissemination K most desirable, and, il is hoped, will be taken up by the American prcst generally. Al the very least it should force from Senator Bailey a denial n rctraction. or n plea of temporary alteration.
 As the uttcrancc of n member of the senate of the United States this nd. dress K th" most astonishing and lis. crcdiablc expression in the history of American politics. Here are some specimens:
 "I do believe it would take n mir aclc from heaven to convince me that n Republican thing could bc right.
 "Thcrc ought to bc n Republican. however, in every community as n horrible example of total political de. pravity.
 "No man can be n good patriot unless hc is . Democratic partisan.'
 At other points of this extraordinary outbreak the Texas "statcsmnn de. clarcd that he had "spokcn on every question. and had not made mistake on any one of thcm.' called his oppon cnts "bcathcn and inGdels," adding: " But l ought not to abuse them; l ought to grow devotional and say. Fla thcr. forgive them. for they know not what they do. "
 Bailey indulged in some h ighfown mock speculation in which, looking into a glorious future, he predicted "thc judgment will he Gods eternal truth. and, as sure as we live, the judgment will bc in favor of the Confederate armics.'
 On this choice topic of the Civil War and the sections. Bailey had his fling at the North because "up there they eat lunch when good folks ca, din. ncr." and "dinncr when honest folks eat supper"
 The first thought upon reading these sentences is that the speaker was drunk. IL is difficult to accept as sober utter. anccs such n farrngo of the lowest de. magogucry. such stupid pandcring to ignorance and sectional and class pre-. iudicc of the lowest type. Even intox. ication is no excuse for such n dis graceful display. for while ii may cx. aggcratc it does not create what IS mol, latent at least. in the mind and heart.
 We do not know what sort of n com. munity Celeste. Texas. is. But its level IS lower than we like to think any American community is if it received without protest this speech of Bailey's. And as for the country at large and perhaps especially the intelligent and honor loving citizenship of the south, there can be only anxiety and shame that in the highest legislative body of this republic a great commonwealth Is rcprcsented-or rather misrcprcscntcd and maligned by an individual cap. able of the Celeste orntion of Senator Bailey.

That the high stage of civilization in America is responsible for the advanc. cd state of American surgery is the verdict of Chinese expert who has just graduated in medicine in Chicago and gone home to practice; he thinks that railways, autos, and high build. ings are the cause of most of the ills that flesh is heir 10 here.''

 is because we are civilized that we ap. preciate the necessity of patching up the poor human boy, not that 1t needs more patching because of civilization.
