cities. No city of the country. how ever great in wealth and population. would answer the purposes of a sov- ereign state organization and govern ment because it would not and could
 not possess the required territory. In the eXegincies of war and the councils of the state the people of the rural dis tricts have never failed to furnish the largest and ablest representation. The right rule of state government requires
 the participation therein of all classes
 of people and the territory of state should therefore be equal to attracting all classes and holding and maintain ing them within its borders in some prosperous calling. Given the required territory with a sufficient population
 to form and maintain a state govern ment and the requirements of state
 hood are compiled with as the territory of the new state will in time teem with it's energetic and progressive millions.
 As seen by the above table. Indiana
 was made a state in 1SOO with a popu- lation of only 5641 and an area of 36,350 square miles. Her population today is 2,50O,OO and her wealth measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. Illi-
 nOis was admitted as a state in ISIS.
 with a population of only 46,60O and an area of 56. .66O square miles. Today her population is 5,OOO.OO and her wealth measured in billions of dollars. Ohio
 was admitted as a, state in 1903, with a population of only 1O1OOO and a ter ritoriaI area of only 41,O6O square miles. now her population is at least 4,5O0 900 and her wealth is about equal to that of Illinois. These three states are fair demonstrations of the position that the main consideration in the past of state admission to the union has been that of territory, that of population being a minor matter. and therefore the strenuous objection made to the admis- sion of Arizona as a state is without reason or precedent and ignOble. base and contemptibIe, dishonest and insin- cere. Senator 4. J. Beveridge of In diana. the head and front Of the of lending against Arizona. who regard less of the rights of the people of .Ari- zona and New Mexico to independent statehood, separately, engineered the joint statehood bill through the United States senate, appears in an Unenviable. light on the question of independent admission, in view of the fact that his own state. at the time of it's admission to the union in 1900. had a population of only 564I souls. and an area of only 36, $50 square miles, as compared with Arizona s 146.OO0 people and her area of 113,020 square miles.

WHO'S THE WOMAN
 SLANDERER OF PHOENIX
Her Picture of the Spread of Alco-
 holism Here.

Inquiry is being anxiousIy made To discover the identity of the woman of ! this city who told Rev. w w. Ravens. l of Albuquerque. superintendent of tha l New Nexico-Arizona Anti Saloon league. that there were only 100 peo- pie in Phoenix who do not drink alco- holic liquors. MT. Ravens made this
 statement in a public meeting night before last to a large number of men,
 women and children, and who know
 they do not drink They therefore. naturally want to know who this wo- man is.
 The woman. according to Mir. Hav- ems allowed only twenty teetotallers to each of the five churches. The others according to her took nips either pub . iiciy or on the sly or else had the forbidden liquor at their tables. Mr. Ravens said he was not prepared to accept this wholesale indictment of the people of Phoenix and he told her he said. that he would bet her S2O that he could find more than 100 total ab- stainers within the corporate limits.
 Ministers present at the meeting and members of the churches intimated. though they did not say so that there were other crimes beside drinking and that lying was one of them. They would vOUch for the members Of their respective churches who would not enter into any sort of compromise with Busch. nor Gambrinus
 nor would they consider for moment omar Khayyann's defense of the vine: Why. be this juice the growth of God,
 who dare

 And, if a curse. why then, who set It there2'
 The discussion yesterday morning spread to sporting circles, the interest being aroused mainly by Mir. Ravens reported offer to bet with his unknown informant The gamblers were divided as to the truth of her statement. but regardless of their views. their gallantry moved them to offer to put up the money for her if she was afraid.

HE MAKING OF STATES
 IN HE YEARS GONE BY
The Right of Arizona to Separate Ad-
 mission Now

To the Editor of The Republican,:
 Sir: Shall the people of Arizona vote for joint statehood?
 We are to answer the aDove stated question at the polls of our next cleo tion. See to it that the answer is made in no uncertain tones, and as becomes a free, independent, fearless and un- trammeled people The policy that seeks to yoke together and enslave the sovereign cOmmonwealths of Arizona and New Mexico as a single state, thus hampering the one with the other thereby depriving each of it's individual sovereignty and dignity, is not only wholly obnoxious to the policy of the people or the United States since the formation of the union of states, but ignOble. base and infamous to the last degree. What has been the true and magnanimous policy of the people of the national union in respect to the admission of states since we became a nation of freemen? Has any single sovereign territory and its people, knocking at the door of the union for admission, ever been finally refused and cast out? The history of the country from the beginning shows con clusively that the policy of the nation has been to admit all applicants capa- ble of self-gOvernment. regardless of population, and only regardful of the fact of the possession by the applicant of the territory to be admitted. and no applicant possessing the necessary ter ritory and capable of self-government has ever been finally refused and cast out The American people have always heretofore welcomed with open arms and joyful satisfaction and acclaim the coming Of all new territory. with its sovereign people. into the sisterhOod of states, and the practice of the nation throughout it's whole career in the past in dealing with the admission of new states shows beyond dispute that the paramount question has been one of territory, that of population being considered subordinate and auxiliary to that of territory.
 The following table showing names, dates of admission, population when admitted, and area in square miles, of the several states and territories proves our contention, and should be carefully read and studied by all the people of Arizona and New Mexico, viz.

times as much territorial area. As compared with New England. Arizona has 46,646 square miles more territorial area than all New England's six states put together. and more than all to- gether with Pennsylvania thrown in, and 7O5O square miles of territory more than that of all the middle states com posed of New York. New Jersey, Penn sylvania and Delaware. and more than all the middle states with Rhode Island and Connecticut thrown in. As to the material ability and prosperity of Ari- zona now and in the future no fair mind. having a Knowledge of her sta tistics. can reasonably question their present sufficiency and certainty of continuance in the future. She is for tunate in the possession, within her borders. of the United Verde copper mines. owned and operated by United States Senator William A. Clark, at the city of Jerome. the value of which is estimated at hundreds of millions Of dollars. and which alone are equal to providing sufficient permanent wealth and population to Arizona as a state by itself. to say nothing Of her other vast gold. silver. copper and other mines. her great herds of sheep. stock and cattle, and large agricultural and manufacturing resources. Why. then, in view of all these facts this discrimi- nation against Arizona The answer is obvious Jealous of the growing pO- liticaI power of the west. Statesmen of the east seem to be aiming to cur tail that power by making two com monwealths into one. thus avoiding the advent of two United States senators from the west in the United States senate The senate Of the United States is the stronghold of the east in controlling national affairs. and for that reason. and to fortify such strong hold. the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as single states is sought to be prevented. To admit them both as states would mean four United States senators; to admit them as one state would mean only two And to accomplish this wrong and injury they have tossed to the winds the settled. fair. wise and just policy of the people of the union and totally ignored and disregarded the sacred vested rights or the great peoples of Arizona and New Mexico. who by their energy labor. patriotism and devotion have made the desert smile. wrested success from dif- ficuIty and founded and developed two great commonwealths. each realizing, Individually and independently of the other. life liberty and the pursuit Of happiness
 The spirit that would tread upon and trample down such rights in fragrant disregard of the policy of the nation is fit for treason, strategem and spells

Original thirteen states.
 Proposed to be admitted.
 The population of Arizona is at least 145,OOO at this time, and her area 113,O20 square miles. It is seen by the fore going table that thirty-two new states have been admitted into the union since it's formation. and that twenty three (mOre than twO-thirds) of the new states, had less population at the date of their admission, than Arizona now has. while Delaware, Georgia, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. four of the thirt cen original states which formed the union. had each less population than Arizona at the time of the formation of the union. so it ap- pears that twenty-seven of the forty five states of the union were erected and received as equal states into the union when they had less population than Arizona has al this time. A large ma jority of the states (thirty-siX) have an area over 3O.0OO square miles, showing that sufficient area was a paramount question of admission, and these facts demonstrate our cOnten- ton that the question Of population as a factor in the scheme of statehood was and is subordinate and not para mount to territorial extent. And why? Because a large population without sufficent territory to meet the require ments of the diversified caIlings of such population could not be formed into a proper state. The territory of a state should include extensive lands. affording space for agriculture. cattle and stock raising and the practice of all the domestic arts. and for manu- featuring. mining and milling and the founding and building of towns and

READY TO TAKE NOTES.
Cruel Husband Had Stenographer to
 Record Wife's Remarks.

Frederic Irland. at the last conven- ton of the National Association of Stenographers at Atlantic City, said of a somewhat harsh rebuke that one stenographer had administered to an other:
 That rebuke was little to cruel, was 1t not? It reminds me of the cru city of a Washington mana piece of cruelty wherein stenography played an unwilling part.
 "As this man came to bed one night his wife said to him:
 "'Has the stranger gone; I didn't hear him.
 "'Oh, no. dear. He hasn't gone,' the husband replied. I have instructed the maid to let him out in three or four hours
 The wife looked amazed and stupe. fled.
 "What-why-who on earth is he. anyway she stammered.
 "'My dear said the husband, quiet ly. he is a shorthand reporter. You see. nearly always forget what you say to me during your discourse from II till two and sometimes go to sleep while you're talking. So thought I'd have your lecture written out tonight and study it at my leisure. The young man is all ready, the door is open so that he can hear you, and you may be- gin as soon as you like"

BIG DIVIDENDS DECLARED

Fall River, Mass, Nov 27.-With over thirty thousand employees start ing work this week with a wage scale actually higher than that before the big cut in 1903, and with the largest quarterly dividend since July, 1900, just announced by the mills, the cot ton manufacturing industry in this city enters an era of great prosperity. The dividends for the October quarter this year amount to $3S1,9O0 on q capital of $21 1,825, 900. This is an average of slightly more than 1.74 per cent foS all the mills included in the list. Two mills which have not recently been paying dividends do so with the October quarter and but three mills are not at present making returns to their stockholders A year ago thirty corporations divided $235.- 15O, or an average of 1.25 per cent among shareholders. Many of the mills are expected to show even great CT earnings for the January quarter.

All Doubt About the Pineapple Pert

William c. Whitney, Dr., who has spent year in Indian Territory learn ing practical mining at Quapaw, de- scribed at a dinner party in New York a Quapaw restaurant.
 At this restaurant one evening, he said at his descriptions end. two miners near me got into botanicaI argument about the pineapple. on4 claiming that it was fruit and tho other that it was a vegetable.
 Tn the midst of their argument the waiter entered in his shirtsleeves and looked about to see what was 04 cause of the loud talking.
 The miners decided to let the woies CT settle their argument, and accoFot ingiy one of them said:
