AN AVOIDANCE OF DETAILS.

Throughout the joint statehood cam paign so far the New Mexican friends of jointure have neglected to put forth, so far as we have heard or observed, a single material reason why Arizona should go into the partnership. They have confined their arguments to gen eralities, such as the blessedness of autonomy, the importance the huge state with its possibilities of the future will assume in the nation; the inprob- ability that the territories will ever FsecureS admission by any other door t5an ioihture; the probability that even that will close with a slam un- less we make up our minds by Novem- Der to enter.
 Our Arizona jointists present all these general reasons and others. They inform us that there will be money in our pockets; that our taxes will be re- duceG by greater economy in, govern meEt Even they are not specific as to the saving But the New Mexicans carefully avoid all allusion to the sub ject of economy. They had already told us that our public institutions wsre not to be interfered with; that the new state would be big enough to lave paid each of penitsrrIaries. 'T- sane asylums, universities, and a trip let or quartet of normal schools. The New Mexicans naturally do not want to insult our intelligence by telling us that all these institutions can be more cheaply conducted under state govern ment than they can under territor- il ial government. Wiser than the Ari- zona jointists, they are saying nothing which might invite a comparison be tween the $1.55 tax rate now neces- sary for the support of the New Mex 1 ican institutions and the 95-cent tax rate by which our own have been meintaired.

partnership has been of the vaguest character. More or less reference has been made to unofficial statements of New Mexico's resources in fact and in prospect, but not word about the re- turns of its county assessors.
 There was at first a pointing with pride to the New Mexican territorial Indebtedness, but recently that phase of the discussion has been eliminated and our attention has been exclusively directed to the glories of autonomy and the right to vote for a president be- fore we die.

news dispatch referring to the footed Chicago savings bank:
 Bank Examiner Jones reiterated his statement that he could give no estimate of the amount of the short age. It was learned today that the peculations of the banks funds be- gan before the year 1901. At the be ginning of that year a shortage of s250, GOO is now said to have existed-''
 For at least six years, and probably longer, the stealing was going on steadily and systematically, and yet the farce of an examination was reg ularly enacted, every now and then, and the bank, as regularly pronounced sound and safe, up almost to the very hour when it went down from the weight of it's own rottenness. But this is only the old, old story over again. The bank looters, presidents or cash iers or directors, or all combined, con duct their operations under the cloak of most eminent responsibility until their structure of speculation falls about their ears and then the wretch ed truth is disclosed only through their personal failures, and the examiner" | is then as much surprised as any one else. It is very reasonably asked why the state bank examiner, who acted so promptly in closing the institution after he learned of it's condition, did not ascertain the crooked work long ago. That Is his business, and he. is supposed to be man of sufficient acu- men to detect the signs of fraud. Wherein lies any virtue whatever in the bank examination system if it does not serve as a safeguard?
 i It is claimed that the president of this wrecked institution loaned him self money, covering the transactions by having his employees sign notes. giv- ing worthless securities. How it is possible in a state like Illinois, sup posedly well organized, to carry on such a game in the guise of charter ed banking enterprise, subject to the
 statutes and to official inspection?

 there collusion in other cases of sim liar fraud against the trusting peoplei

CURIOSITY
Leads to Investigation and Truth

What shall we do to be saved? was the title of one of Robert Ingersolls s lectures. People of faith and people of no faith flocked to hear it. Thou sands are asking, What shall I do to get rid of dandruff?" The answer is, Kill the germ that causes dandruff, falling hair and finally badness and the the only thing that will do it is the only preparation that claims to, or that will, kill the pestiferous dan druff germ. It also is a delightful hair-dressing, free from oil or grease or sticky substances. Try it and be convinced of it's actual merit.

EX-GOVERNOR OTERO AGAINST JOiNTURE.

Ex-Governor Miguel Otero of New Mexico has written a letter to Sen ator Henry NJ. Teller, of Colorado which leaves no doubt of his position on the question of joint statehood. He advises his people to vote the proposi- tion down, as the best means of secur- ing single and separate statehood, which practically all the people of New Mexico want.
 Senator Teller wrote to Ex-Governor Otero advising him and the people of New Mexico to vote against joint state hood and expressing the belief that if this is the result in November it will not be hard to pass bill through an early congress for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as separate states.
 It is in reply to this letter that Gov. Otero writes to the Colorado senator. Governor Otero does not believe that New Mexico, with her 35O,oO0 popula- tion and Arizona with her .175, 5,000 pop ulation should surrender their right of self-government and accept joint statehood simply because Senator Beveridge. who is referred to as a maligner, President Roosevelt and the republican administration senators have so decreed.
 Governor otero is of the opinion that if joint statehood is buried by a heavy vote against it in November then it would be wise thing to do to have the delegates elected to the constitutional convention from New Mexico meet and form constitution for New Mexico alone and ask for separate statehood on it's presentation to congress. But to follow this plan, as suggested by the Santa Fe New Mexican recently, after voting to ac- cept joint statehood would be the limit of folly He declares that the people O. New Mexico desire separate state hood and he expresses his confidence that they will soon attain it if they will turn their backs against this offer of half loaf of statehood.
 The ex-governor in his letter quotes from a speech delivered in New Mex ico in 1899 by the then Col. Roosevelt in which that gentleman promised his assistance in any effort to be made by the people of New Mexico to become a state, agreeing to make speeches in favor of the measure. The ex-gover- nor points to great difference in the promises of Col. Roosevelt in 1899 to the people of New Mexico and the acts of President Roosevelt resarding state hood for the territory.
 The emphatic opposition of Gov ,; otero to joint statehood in Newshex ico will result in at least making the result of the vote doubtful in that territory. He is one Of the strongest men in New Mexico and has few equals when it comes to controlling votes according to his judgment
 Hundreds and hundreds of the Mex :can citizens of New Mexico will fol low the lead of Otero and his position throws the statehood result in doub :. that territory. In fact since he ar rived in the territory month ago ana announced his position against join statehood there has been visible fall ing of in the enthusiasm for the meas
 
 ure throughout the territory.
