Keen At II.

If q expect to conquer
In the battle Of today
You will have to blow your trumpet
In a firm and steady way.
u you foot your little whistle.
Then lay aside the horn,
There's not a soul will ever know
That such a man was born.
The man that owns his acres
Is the man that plows all day,
And the man that keeps a-humping
Is the man that's here to stay.
But the man who advertises
With a sort of sudden jerk
Is the man that blames the printer
Because it didn't work.
But the man that gets the business
Uses brainy printers ink,
Not a clatter and a sputter.
But an ad that makes you think:
And ne plans his advertisements
AS he plans his welI-bought stock,
And the future of his business
Is as solid as a rock.

writes. CIT would seem to me that
the recent action Of Congress x
presses the views of a majority of
its members. and I am OF the opinion
that any other proposition at this
time would not be consistent.
Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-i
shire, says. Il am not in favor of
making the state of Texas n larger
than it now is. Indeed if I were go
ing to do anything to Texas I would
+, make t least two states of that ter
ritory. One reason why opposed the
union of New Mexico and Arizona is
that it will make a second Texas in
area"
J Senator Smoot, of Utah, writes:
"My limited knowledge of the re
sources of the Pecos Valley, together
with my lack of familiarity with the
other matters which should enter in
to the determination of this question
leads me to think that had better
not express an opinion on the ques-
ton"
/ Senator Dryden, of New Jersey,
writes, "that until 1 have made a
careful investigation of the matter it
will be impossible for me to answer
your questions" !
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, says:
81 beg to say that pending the vote
of statehood by the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona, 1 would have to
decline to consider the matter sug-
gested in your letter. In case the vote
should be adverse the PROPOSE
ton as stated by o should be
brought before congress, l would
give the matter all the possible con
sideration, but manifestly cannot tell
at this time, at what conclusion l
might then arrive"
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, says
that he is not prepared to express
an opinion as to the proposed annex
alton of the Pecos Valley to Texas.
Senator Hansbrough, of North Da-
kota, writes: "The proposition you
advance in regard to Texas is entire
ly new to me. Undoubtedly, the Texas
people would be in favor of it, but
to avoi such a thing it would seen
to me to be decidedly in the interest,"
of Arizona to vote for j~ointure witt
New Mexico. Otherwise the people o
Arizona will be deprived of state
hood for nan many years to come
I was one of those who favored sep
arate statehood for the two terrific
. ries, but, after some years of contro
versy I'VE the subject, it became 81
apparent thai the two houses of con
gress favored jInture that I yielded
my view to the majority, and, know
ing the situation as I do, if l wer'
in Arizona, l would advocate joint
ure with all my power"

Commissioner Button today reported
to the state corporation cmmission
with a recommendation that their
liceises be revoked the German Ma

Button therefore feels constrained to
recommend the revocation Of their
licenses. Their agents here have been
notified to appear and show cause why
the recommendation should not be act
ed upon affirmatively.

Washington, December 5.-The reso-
lutions relative to the discharge Of the
negro troops of the 25th infantry were
called up in the senate today by Sen
atsr Foraker, of Ohio, who proposed
the adoption of his resolution which
calls on the secretary of war for intor-
nation as a substitute for that of
Senator Penrose, calling on the presi-
dent.
Senator Warren Of Wyoming, offered
a substitute for both which was al
dressed to the president. To this sug-
gestion Mr.. Foraker was opposed. The
information he desired was, he said,
in the possession Of the war department
and could be secured there without
difficulty.
Mr.. Foraker asked that his reso
luton be considered independently and
not as a substitute to the Penrose
resolution.
The vice president ruled that as the
resolution had been amended it's status
was changed and an objection from
any senator would carry the resolution
objection
Mr.. Foraker then secured unanimous
consent to amend his resolution and
followed this step with a motion for
immediate consideration Senator Gull
berson offered an amendment to the
Foraker resolution calling in addition
for the order issued to Major Penrose,
in command of the 25th infantry, di-
recting him not to delivel to civil au-
thOrlties of Texas certain members Of
his command charged with assault. TO
murder. This was accepted by Mr..
Foraker. Senator SpOoner called at
tention to the fact that Senator Penrcs 2
was absent from the city and it was
unusual to press matters in which Il
senator was especially interested in
his absence.
Mr.. Foraker at once accepted this
view and the whole question went over
until tomorrow
gan would tomorrow address the senate
on a resolution introduced today by
his colleague, Senator Pettus, directing
