But the law did exist. no matter

make them more secure and better

needle, which pierces a paper target
every time the trigger 10 pulled. The
mark imam aims at an ordinary target
placed at the regulation distanc'i
When he believes his rife TO be pro-

Ar,xonians Tor Joint Statehood.

The little batch Of jointists down
in Albuquerque have always found a
great deal OF pleasure In bringing int,
public view any citizen OF Arizona
who favored jointure.
TO the journal they were all "men
Of great prominence in affairs over
there, men OF influence" leaders in
politics." and all that.
Well, everybody knows just what a
Not Of political hoboes they all were
No the very last man " thern--a
regular F~alstafian army.
But a few days ago they did discov'
or a Simon pure citizen Of Arizona
who was worthy Of the best praises
they could give him.
Mr.. J. L. Hubbell Of Canada, Arizo'
ma, passed through Albuquerque en-
route home from washington, where
he had been advocating joint state
hood. and was wen written up in the
Albuquerque papers.
MI. ]. L. Hubbell Is all they can
say OF him. He Is y republican leader
over there, q gentleman OF means
educated. popular. a lifelong resident
OF the territory-and-he favors joint
statehood--and says 30 openly. But
why?
Mr.. Hubbell Is one OF the most ge-
NAL. ~whole.souled men In the world,
and its really too bad to have to call
him down In this way.
TO begin with, he IL a brother OF
Frank, Tom. and AL the other Hub
belis at albuquerque. The place at
which ne lives In Arizona, Canada, Is
an Indian trading post belonging to
him, Just fifteen miles from the New
Mexico line in the other territory.
Mr.. Hubbell's family has lived for
years In Albuquerque. He Is now
erecting a fine home there, all his
business Ii done In that city. and he
spends most Of his spare time there.
Then why shouldn't he favor joint
statehood with q probability Of Albu.

AUSTRIA FEARS NEW STATE
IN BALKAN TRADE BUND

VIENNA. Jan. 23.-There are many
indications that the Balkan states are
anxious TO form a zoilverein or trade
and customs Union which will make
them independent Of Austria. II was
recently reported that a secret alliance
had been arranged between Servia and
Bulgaria. although at the very time
Servia was conducting negotiations
looking to the establishment OF a new
agreement with Austria
Great anxiety is felt in Austria over
the new combination because IL would
mean the rise of a powerful state on
her eastern frontier and the lessening
Of her influence IN the Balkans.
