 One of the most loyal organizations not only in Arizona, but in every state and territory in the United States, is, and has been since it's organization, the Grand Army of the Republic. Its members in the hour of the country s greatest need, away back in the 6os, sacrificed ali that man holds dear, even to life itself. in their country's S cause, and since then have ever been foremost in all good works, their mo- tiyes pure and honest.
 The Grand Army men in Arizona are no exception to the rule and have ever been loyal to Arizona and her institutions. Individually they are be- hevef to be against selling Arizona's biTthrigtt, by means Of linking her in statehood with New Mexico, 10 a man But so far there has been no action on the part of the organization to place their views on the question be fore the present Congress.

 There were two men in the case, and. according to Vezina (who had been hanging about town several days) the scheme Of the robbery was proposed by the other fellow. This other fellow has not been caught, and Vezina refuses to give his name.

GAMBLING IS
 NEARING THE END.

The time when gambling may be engaged in without the violation ot law is drawing to a close. The only regret about this matter is that the last legislature in Arizona did not pass the anti-gambling bill which was introduced. and thus have credit for doing away with this public evil. The gamblers in this territory have been warned many times that unless they took their games from public view 3 public sentiment would soon grow up and put them out of business en- tfrely. It is quite likely now that before the end of the present year the faro and craps games will all be closed and the roulette wheel will cease to go around.
 A bill to this purpose has been in t!odueed in Congress. and there is TO one to object, but on the other hand, it is meeting with universal approval in the territories. Commenting on the anti-gambling bill in Congress, the Santa Fe New Mexican has this t. say:
 Representative LittIefeld oi Maine E the author of a biii which he has inst introduced in the House of Rep Fesentatives which has for it's object the abolition of all gambling in the territories of New Mexico and Ari- zona Reports from Washington have r that the bill is sure to pass, no matter wkat the fate of the Hamil- ton-Beyeridge joint statehood bill. This was bound to come. and thought flI persons have foreseen it for sey- eraI years. The New Mexican made known it's opposition to the present system of licensing gambling in this territory some time ago and did good work in that direction. It was known that the attention Of Congress would be called 10 the subject matter by re- i. EgfCus bodies and societies connect ed with the churches, such as the woman's Christian Temperance Un- ion, the Young Mems Christian Asso, ciaiton and others, and that strenu' oue efforts would be made to bring about the enactment of a statute pre- scribing and prohibiting gambling in the territories under severe penalties.
 That this action will meet with the approval of the people as a whole cannot be doubted. Although in New Mexico the practice of gambling has not been as open and as notorious as it has been in our sister territory indeed, in a good many cities in the territory it was conducted quietly and so as not to attract much attention One of these cities is, to it's credit be it said. the city of Santa Fe. At the same time, the best interests of tho commonwealth and of individuals de nand that gambling of all kinds bt suppressed. This is too plain to need discussion
