better tone to the news from the oil fields this

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

The citizens of Tucson, Ari., Gel r
brated in typical western style the. de-
feat in the senate of the prop Jsition
to ioin their territory with New Mex
ico in forming state. tn 0se AriZo-
ma people are not out OF the woods
vet. They had better wait for final ac-
ton on the bill before they begin &c
rejoice over it's defeat. It was by the
uncomfortably small majority of two
votes that the provision regarding
their territory was stricken out. II
the house shows stubbornness in
standing by the original bill its adyo-
Gates in the senate might muster
enough votes to overcome that email
majority and carry motion TO recede
from its amendment. This demonstra-
ton il Tucson, though, may have some
effect in strengthening the opposition
10 the bill in the senate.
We do not suppose there is another
case on record in the admission of
states to the unicn where such was
done against the will of the people
directly concerned
This statehood bill is purely a pOlit
ical move to give the republicans four
more senators and to form two new
states which will be republican in
politics Arizona is a democratic ter
ritory, but the state composed of the
two territories would be republican.
There were barely enough republi
can senator's present opposd to COM
hitting this outrage on the people of
Arizona for purely political purposes
who united with the democrats and
made the defeat of the bill possible.
But the fight is not over yet. The
house will be sure to refuse at first
to concur in the senate amendment
and the bill will go to conference
Some of those republican senator's who
voted for the amendment may yield if
the house shows determination not
to accept the senate amendment. If
they do not, the matter may be CON-
promised by adopting the Foraker
amendment leaving the question to lie
decided by the votes of the two ter
ritories taken separately. If this were
done the proposition would be defeat
ed in Arizona, it is said.
The semi-weekly messenger., 1906-03-16
TO FIGHT TRUSTS WITH TRUSTS

1t is said that plans are maturing
for curbing two of the big trusts--the
steel and the shoe machinery. They
are based on the principle of fighting
the devil with fire; that is, to tight
these trusts with other trusts This
is a good idea and if the right men,
backed by plenty of capital, are put
in control the new movement may do
more for the benefit of the people than
all the legislation by congress or deci-
siOns by the courts.
If the man who made the steel trust
such a success shall throw his energy
and his millions into an opposition
combine he will be likely to accom-
plish great things in the way of cur
failing the power and breaking the
monopoly of that great concern.
The other movement of this kind is
against the United States Shoe Ma
chinery company which controls the
business of the country in its line and,
incidentally the shoe trade to large
extent. A party of capitalists have
joined together for establishing a num-
ber of such factories, with Lynn,
Mass. as headquarters which will fight
the trust. If this plan is carried out it
will be of great advantage to shoe
manufacturers by breaking the hold
the machinery trust has on them and
it will enable others to go into the
shoe manufacturing business who were
heretofore kept out of it by the power
of the trust to control the output of
the necessary machinery
1t is to be hoped that this plan will
Be followed in fighting other big mo-
nopolies. If it can be done success
fully in these two instances it surely
can be done in others. When thieves
fall out honest men get their Dues
and so it will be. when these harpies
turn their preying on the people to
trying TO devour each other then the
people will get relief, for the only way
the trusts can fight each other is
through concessions to the public

1t has just been discovered that
on the statute books of Delaware. The
trustees of the poor have the right to
bind out paupers. 1t applies to wo-
men and negroes and allows them to
be bound for term not exceeding
three years. This is of course in vio-
lation of the federal constitution
Were it not so we do not suppose any
official of that state would undertake
to enforce the law, but it is remarka-
BILE that such law should exist in a
northern state at this day.

Many Spaniards are kicking at the
marriage of their king to Princess Ena
because of her descent on one side from
a dancer. Her father, we believe, was
the offspring of morganatic marriage
on the part of the elder Battenberg
Princess Ena's illustrious descent on
TIE mothers side, though, does not
counterbalance this. Had that morga
natic marriage been with princess or
some other lady of high birth it would
not have offended their sense Of pro-
priety 1t is not the kind of marriage,
but the standing of the woman TO
which these naughty Spaniards take
exception The moral question is not
considerd by them.

FRENCH HEELS STOP PAY
Educators Look Over an Injured Girl
Shoes.

Especial to The Baltimore SUM-
Philadelphia, March S.-A dainty
job is ahead of the hoard of education.
1t is on the question of high heels.
Arguing that the wearing of high
fIeeled shoes might legally constitute
such contributory negligence on the
part of the wearer as to debar a teach
er from receiving full salary while alb
sent from duty because Of sprained
ankle. the boards committee on ele-
mentary schools referred an applica-
ton for such relief to the superintend-
ence department for further investi-
cation.
The applicant, who teaches in the
Mount Vernon School, Catharine street
above Third, set forth in her petition
for full salary that while in the dis
charge of her duties she slipped on
the stone steps leading to the play
ground and suffered thereby severe
ankle sprain. which kept her in the
house several days The petitioner
claimed that the accident was due SOLE
ly TO the badly worn condition Of the
steps.
