ANTI-Jo1NTURE IN NEW MEXICO

Our frank contemporary. the Albu- querque Citizen divulges that there Is much opposition to joint statehood in New Mexico and that '1t stands the friends of jointure to be up and do- ing" This opposition like "Omnis Gallia est divisa in tres partes."
 One part believes that fin every material element of prosperity and in every phase of civilization. New Mex leo is superior to Arizona"
 Another part Is moved by sentiment. To 1t the name of the territory, its his tory and traditions and the achieve ments of its people have become dear. The third part Is made up of those sensible souls who believe that single statehood Is attainable if the chance be not thrown away by accepting joint statehood.
 We have no quarrel with any of these classes of objectors. We trust that all classes of them will grow in numbers and continuity of purpose to preserve the present boundaries of New Mexico While we cannot con cede the superiority of New Mexican civilization and every material ele- ment we will agree with these contend CTS that jointure with New Mexico would be detrimental to that territory. But if we had to have jointure. we would welcome as fellow citizens those

THE FLOOD LESSON.

There was bloody but belated and useless proof yesterday that John Flood required restraint. If it could have been adduced a couple of months ago. but of course it did not exist then. it would have ended a controversy among the officials as to what should be done with Flood.
 It is perfectly plain now that there was an error in judgment then and that Flood needed protection from himself. The tragedy of yesterday morning may not be without its use in pointing out a course in similar cases which may arise.
 It has been evident for years that Flood was not normal. He may not have been Insane all the time and on all subjects. Few men who kill or are killed in self defense are. Otherwise they would be unquestionably afforded protection against themselves and so- ciety would be afforded protection against them. There would be no such bloody and disagreeaOle surprises as that which startled the residents Of Phoenix yesterday morning.
 Flood was not what is called bad man." one who seeks trouble for mo- toriety. But he was none the less a menace to society. A brooder over inn aginary grievances, who at the same time is unable to control his temper is more a menace to society than is the raving maniac against whose violence some sore of calculation may be made.
 The killing of Flood should result in convincing the community that all men of his kind are dangerous when at large. It should further result in giv- ing greater elasticity to the trial pro- ceedlngs of those who are suspected of insanity.

patriotic objectors-rather than those servile supporters of jointure who are trying to weld the territories together to serve foolish political purposes.
 We appreciate the sentiments of the second part of the opposition which clings lovingly to the name and his tory of New Mexico and we trust that their antagonism to its burial in the state of Arizona the Great may never grow less violent than it Is today
 AS to the third part of the opposi- ton. We may say that objectors of that class have the greatest reason of all in their contention. They set out with fact admitted by even the most violent jointists of either territory. that separate statehood is far better than joint statehood. This proposition is without argument and is not sus- ceptible of argument. The next prop osition advanced by this third class of New Mexican opponents of jointure is equally one-sided as to argument No one but a fool would accept an in ferior condition at the loss forever of a superior one.
 If it were known or reasonably prob able that single statehood would be unobtainable or would be obtainable only after a long period of years, then the matter of joint statehood would be open for discussion.
 But as matters now stand it is not a sensible question of ito be or not to be?"

perfection. and the locomotives are never far from their home shops. Yet even with allowance for these advan- tages, both freight and passenger traf- f1c are habitually handled with a regu- larity and certainty that deserve the highest degree of praise. Tn any large terminal in England the number of passenger trains that arrive either ex- actly on time or minute or two ahead is far greater than that of trains even the least overdue; five minutes is usually a safe margin for an important connection. At Finsbury Par, subur- ban station just outside London, trains pass on an average of one every two minutes night and day, yet this tre- mendous traffic is handled with clock work.-July Atlantic.

It seemed a couple of months ago that Phoenix would be in fashion with an ice trust investigation. There was a good deal of complaint by house holders of a combination which might or might not be illegal. There was a serious disposition to inquire into the character of the combine and probably something would have been done but for the self -injection of the small squealer into the situation, which thus became invested with a gayety in the midst of which the people forgot any grievances they had against the ice folks. The small squealer has con- verted the possible iniquities of the ice men into a farce which could not now be regarded seriously by any but the small squealer which takes everything seriously, even itself. If the ice men of Toledo and Kansas City had had the forethought to. procure this sort of an amusing diversion for their dissat- isfied patrons, they would have saved themselves a whole lot of worry and ex- pense. Things almost as ridiculous as the small squealer have been known to break out at a funeral and relieve the deep solemnity of the occasion.

POETRY BEeETs POETRY.

Tuesday morning The Republican printed the following and other verses by local poet, under the caption. The Western Day.: The misty haze of darkness from the
 east doth roll away, The fleecy clouds are finging back the
 glimmering light of day; The brilliant hues of gladness their
 margins now adorn; The sun bursts forth in glory, and, be-
 hold. the western morn! Old Sol rides high and higher. in bis
 lordship proud, serene, Soon the shimmering heat waves linpar
 Der the desert and the green. Then hotter, ever hotter, they are flung
 back from the sand; And behold the heated midday of our
 sunny western land! These rythmical remarks were con- strued in some quarters to be euloeis tic of the climate of this region at this season of the year.
 Tuesday morning the regularly s1b- sidized poet of The Republican. after a sleepless and prOfane night, read the foregoing verses with resentment. and while the Saff1atus and the mosquito bites were still on him poured forth the following anathema on "The Western Night:
 Now faster, aye and hotter, the sun
 sinks toward the west, And the lowering dust of evening
 gainst our heated cheeks is
 pressed;
 From every porch and living room the
 occupants doth leave, Searching for the cooling zephyrs" of
 glorious western eve. The hot. dark shadows melt away the
 stars hide in alright, And hotter, ever hotter. grows the
 glorious western night, While sleepers in the open of all kinds
 and size are seen And the hot, dark night still fingers
 Der the desert and the green.
