mile at dog trot in eight minutes,
arranging your circuit of mile and

New and Old Bank Bills.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting cashier. bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks." said cashier. ut Is a
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. AS
a matter Of fact, nine cashiers out Of
every ten try to get rid of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
1t. There is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal Of money. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to make
mistakes with new bills when in u
hurry to relieve long line of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
Is no rush. I'd rather pay out mil
lion old bills than hundred new
ones"

first of all. Whenever it thinks
that those interests will be served
by antagonizing the United States,
we may be certain that there will
be antagonism. The Japanese are
keen and tricky, and not over
burdened with sentiment. They
have as sharp an eye for the main
chance as any other people in the
work. There is little reason, in
our opinion, to look on them as
foes, but there is quite as little

tions Of friendship at their face

cause to anticipate trouble, because
we believe that for the present at
least our friendship is thing of
value to Japan. If il is, she will
not likely throw it away.
As to the Philippines, it is quite
possible that the japanese are
making trouble for us. But even
here there IS no need to look tor
such an explanation of our diff
culties. We are governing a peo-
pie that do not wish to be gov
erned by US. 1t is natural, there
fore, that there should be occas-
ional outbreaks. There is bound
to be treachery whenever a weak
people is ruled, against its will,
by stronger. We learned this
from our experience with the In
dians. And the experience is be-
ing repeated in the Philippines.
The japanese may be taking ad-
vantage Of the situation. If they
are our government should insist
that Japan observe her obligations

have plenty of trouble in the

it would be unfair and foolish to
attribute to their interference

We think that the Posts warning
is timely, though it seems to us
that il puts the case rather too
strongly.

THE STATEHOOD FIGHT

The Kansas City Journal one o
the influential republican paperl
of the United States, has the fol
lowing to say anent the statehood
fight:
One of the most interesting po
litical fights of the year is going
on in Arizona and New Mexico
over joint statehood. The contest
is good natured but warm enough
to suit the most pugnacious who
delight in broils, political or other
wise. President RoOsevelt's pop.
ularity is being used to cOnjure
with by the advocates of joint
statehood and his letter, written
since congress adjourned, urging
the territories to come into the
Union as one state, is the strong
est asset on their side of the ques.
ton.
Judging by the unanimity with
which the people CT Arizona op
posed joint statehood in congress,
emphasized since then by the
action Of the republican and demo.
cratic territorial committees in
uniting against the proposition,
an outsider would naturally sup
pose that there could be no doubt
about the result Of the election,
the only question being as to the
SIZE of the majority against it.
However, the advocates of state
hood are making sbrewd cam.
paign, supported by the federal
Office holders as well us almost
every politician who hopes to get
Office in the new state, and by the
saloon and gambling elements
which were threatened last winter
with the wrath of the federal ad
ministration if they aided in the
continuance of territorial con-
ditons. The Mexicans and half
breeds are also soIidly in favor OF
statehood, inspired by the belief
that they will be able to rule the
affairs Of the new state, and be
lieving, curiously enough, that
their dignity and social standing
will be greatly Increased under the
new order of things.
Like the negroes in the South |
during reconstruction days, they |
believe that when they get things
10 their hands the millennium will |
come.

jority Of the white people of Ari

zona and considerable percentage
in New Mexico are solidly op-
posed to JOINT statehood. The
Arizonians point out that their
progressive American civilization
would be swamped by the Mexi-
cans and halfbreeds of New Mex
leo, who outnumber them nearly
two to one. Nearly GA per cent OF
these Mexicans cannot read or
write, and their ideas OF govern.
ment correspond with their literary
ignorance, A still stronger ground
for their opposition is that Ari-
zona has nearly double the assessed
wealth of New Mexico, although
her population and Indebtedness
are so per cent less. In other
words, Arizona would furnish
double the assets to the new state
while New Mexico would contrib.
ute all the liabilities, of debt, igno-
rance and unprogressiveness. Nat
urally enough, the business inter-
ests and the intelligent white peo-
pie of Arizona are strongly OPP
posed to such bargain.
The thinking people of Arizona
and New Mexico believe, notwith.
standing Mr.. Roosevelts admoni-
tory advice that this will be their
last chance to get statehood for
many years, that each of the terri
tories is worthy OF statehood, or
soon will be, on its own merits.
They are willing to wait for that
day, and patiently endure their
territorial disabilities, because of
the larger advantages which will
ultimately be derived from sep
arate statehood. In this patriotic
and statesmanlike view they are
supported by most of the rnfuen-
tial newspapers OF both territories.
That they will be rewarded for
their patience there can be no rea-
sonable doubt. With the unex-
ampled prosperity of the south
west, and its rapid increase in the
best classes Of population, 1t is
only question of tIme-and not
any great length of timc-when
New MeXIco and Arizona will be
fully equipped to form two
splendid states; and their title will
be so clear and irrefragable that
heir right TO admission into the
amily of the American Union can.
not be denied.
