The G. O. P. in this State is
still drifting on the great sea of
doubt as to who shall lead in the
forlorn hope of capturing the
State Government next year.

Ian was held up as the Moses.

his friends that he could not

his declination. to lead in the
great struggle. Ex-Governor
VIM. Bradley was called on to
lead the forces, but it is safe
to say that he, too, will pass the
arduous work of leading. Just
who will be game enough to take
the responsibility is not yet
known, unless they accept a
small caliber, for men Of Gov
ernorship ability are not willing
to make such a sacrifice. Ac-
cording to Republican doctrine,
ito let we'll enough alone"
there is no cause for a change,
and according to established GUS
tom in this State, no one is ex-
pecting it. The fact is plain to
every intelligent pollution that
there are enough true Dem
ocrats to elect our ticket by a
majority of 80, 900. and far too
many, under present circum-
stances, to give even the shadow
of hope to the most enthusiastic
opponent. If Bradley accepts
he will be beaten, if Wilson
takes the honors he will go down
and if the other fellow gets in
the fight his die is cast.

If Congress should get up a
bill to give every farmer 5 cents
on every bushel of wheat and
corn produced, there would go
up the strongest protest. 1t
would be opposed on the ground
of unjust discrimination against
other occupations and capital.
But it is different in the shipping
interests so it appears. The
Ship Subsidy Bill will doubtless
become a law without a protest
or rebuke from the people, yet it
takes the peoples money, and
gives to ship owners. 1t is un-
just dissemination, Class Legis-
lation.

The word comes from Georgia that
the people of that state are going to
give the new hattIeship Georgia a gold
en- service the first to be given to any
vessel in the navy. Nearly every state
for which a battleship has been named
and every city for which cruiser has
been named has presented the craft in
question a silver service. some of them
very elaborate and costing many thou
sands Of dollars. But the Empire State
of the South is feeling pretty prosper

using is to rub into the hair at night
and let it remain until morning., Then
brush out. This will perfume the hair
deliciously.

days go without a hat as much as pos

to keep it healthy. Airing and summing
the hair every day not only keeps il
sweet and clean, but is good for the
scalp also. The sun will soon cure any
disease of the scalp and make it
healthy and active. and healthy scalp

Our Two Territories.

Down in the Southwest the great
question of the day is the joint state
hood issue between Arizona and New
Mexico. 1t will be remembered that
the last Congress separated the for
tunes of Oklahoma from that OF these
two western territories, where they had
been tide up for too long a time, and
erected oklahoma into a state, WIN
Arizona and New Mexico to become a
single state if they could agree to the
union. There is no prospect that they
will agree. Both the Republican terri
torial convention in New Mexico and
the Democratic convention have en-
dorscd the proposition of joint state
hood with Arizona, but the situation is
very different i'm the latter territory
From the first New Mexico has been
willing to enter into the Union. merged
with its western neighbor. but the
chief objection has come from
Arizona, and the residents of this
territory are as bitterly opposed to it
as they ever We're.
The name of President Roosevelt is
one to conjure with in that section of
the country. yet his open letter to his
friends in Arizona urging them to
work for joint statehood seems to have

conventions in Arizona have refused to
endorse joint statehood and it is we'll

element in Arizona is in favor of it,
but this element is not such an i'm
po.tant part of the population in
Arizona as it is in New Mexico. AS
long as Arizona maintains its present
attitude and it seems likely to con-
tinue for an indefinite time, it is not
probable that Congress will do it such
an injustice as to force it into politica
union with New Mexico. If they can

The Prosperous Red Man.

According to the latest figures of the
Indian Commissioner. our American
Indians have been getting lot more
sympathy than they deserve. There
are pages in the story of their treat
mcnt by our government of which our
country cannot well be proud, but it
cannot be charged that we have pill

great many more Indians in the United
