FOraker Says No More Joint State Bills.

Senator FOraker, who showed Sena- tor Beveridge where to head in when the statehood fight was on last spring, in answer to A. l.. Morrison's query wrote the subjoined letter:
 CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. l5, 1906. HON. A. l.. MORRISON, Santa Fe, New
 Mexico.
 DEAR SIR :-I write to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of Oct. 10 and to say that it is not only improb- able that a joint statehood enabling act will be passed at the next session of congress for Arizona and New Mexico, but in my judgement it is ab- solutely impossible for any such thing to be done. l do not believe such a bill could ever again get anything like the support it received at the last session. Every one has found out that the American people are by large majority, everywhere in all the states throughout the whole country, op- posed to an enforced union of Arizona and New Mexico.
 From every direction there comes to me information to this effect, cou- pied with assurances that the people of the United States believe that the people of New Mexico and Arizona are honest, law-abiding American citizens, who should be allowed free vote and fair count on the subject that con- cerns them so vitally as statehood, and there is no danger whatever, so far as the people of these territories are con- cerned, of frauds being committed in connection with the approaching vote on that subject, and that all sugges- tions to that effect are an uncalled for offence.
 Very truly yours,
 J. B. FORAKER.

The Thing to Be Remembered.

The voters of this territory will re. member that by their votes Arizona will be either bound to New Mexico for all time and eternity or they can make it impossible for our off colored friends on the other side of the Cont. mental Divide ever to get us in their clutches. Should we make a mistake by not accepting joint statehood the error can be remedied at any time, but should we make the mistake Oi joining with New Mexico that mistake goes throughout the ages. Better make the mistake on the right side and vote against jOinture, and let the vote be unanimous.

The Shannon shelter and mills closed down Friday evening on ac- count of the burning of the hoist house and engine room at the head of the incline at Metcafe last Wednesday morning. Two cars which were on the tramway broke loose and went down the hill, breaking the cable and doing considerable damage. The hoist house was covered by insurance. The closing down period at the shelter will be utilized in making repairs and adding new machinery for an increas- ed output of the red metal in future.- Clifton Herald.

All trains on the the Santa Fe rail- road have been late this week, owing it is said to the badly crippled condi- tion of motive power. Since the strike of boiler makers and machinists two years ago the road has been badly handicapped for lack of skilled me- chanics and it is thought sooner or later the striking unionists will have to be placated. Every day locomt . tives are dying on the main line and sidings from Los Angeles to Albuquer- que. The failure of motive power must have cost an immense amount of money during the past two years.

Winslow Sherman, an old time miner of this county, but for the last ten years resident of Vanderbilt and Crescent, is in Los Angeles, where a nephew is reported to have him in captivity in a lodging house. A saloon man of Crescent claims that Sherman is deprived of his liberty by the nephew, but there appears to be nothing to it. Win Sherman was bad ly injured in an explosion of giant powder in tunnel, near Mescal, about ten years ago, since which time he has been acting queerly, especially when under the influence of liquor. A few years ago he sold a mining claim at Crescent and also some lots at Nippeno and at once proceeded to break the record for blowing in. He realized his desires and was soon back at his camp dead broke. He has a brother and other relatives residing at Gardena, California, and a brother in New Hampshire. Another brother Byron sherman, died here few years ago.

Candidates of the two parties, who have visited every precinct in the county say that it will be stretch of the imagination to give the joint state- hood people five per cent of the vote next Tuesday. The socialists are op- posed to jointure, although an effort has been made to get the vote. For economic reasons the socialists should be fully as much opposed to joint state- hood as are the old parties.

human beings had been launched into
eternity and $500 homes had been ut
terly demolished" In the twinkling
of an eye whole families were clasped
together in the arms Of death. Fa-
Tiers, mothers, brothers, sisters, chill
dren, all were gone. Hundreds who
were not drowned were carried down
the raging rivers upon roofs or floating
logs until that debris was halted at
the bridge below the city. where it
was ignited. and the men and women
and the children upon it were slowly
toasted to death and their bodies ere
mated.
Families Swept Away.
1t was my privilege some days after
this flood had done its fatal wJrl, to l-e
in Johnstown and with Dr. BCale t.
go over the awful ruins While I was
there l saw some bodies being carried
to the mOrgue. l saw where huge tcle-
graph poles had been wrenched from
their anchorages and. head first, had
been shot through walls as a cannon
ball could crash its way through
brick wall. l saw where whole streets
had been swept away. The cutters,
the cobblestOnes. the tiaggings all were
gone. You might think that you were
walking over sand dunes where once
had been city street. l saw where a
huge iron locomotive had been rolled
over and over in the flood as though it
were a feather tossed by the winds and
then left stranded in place far from
the original rOundhOuse. When the
flood came down upon these $500
homes Of JOhnstown, it swept away
whole families. Fathers perished with
their wives and children. When a
foolish man builds his house upon the
sands and is spiritually destroyed, il
not only means his own spiritual death
but also the deaths of some of those
who are living near him or with him.
In 1874 the Vile de Havre in mid
ocean foundered. Mrs. SpaffOrd, the
wife of the author of that beautiful
| hymn
When peace, like a river. attendeth my
way,
When sorrows like sea pillows roll,
was on board with her four little
children. All those children were
drowned. The mother was rescued.
Ten days later Mrs. SpaffOrd was
landed at Cardiff, Wales, and she
cabled this message to her husband in
Chicago: Saved alone" pathetic, -
you say. "Heartrending! Appalling!
Yes. But no mother, no father, no
sister, no brother, can ever telegraph
from heaven to earth such a message
as Mrs. Spafford sent. We are never
spiritually saved alone We are saved
with others or we are spiritually de-
stroyed with others. The wise man
built a house upon the solid rock. The
foolish man built house upon the
sand. Why? A home holds the fam
lily, the friends and our domestic as
sOciates.
Milford chronicle., 1906-08-10
Others Destroyed Too.


But the most awful part about this
parable is the agOnizing look of con-
sternation which is pictured upon the
face of the foolish man just before
his house topples over. This food, in
all probability, did not submerge this
house In one instant. No. Even the
house built upon the sand will with
stand a flood for little while. Though
the foolish man could not move him
self and his family over to the hill
sides. on account of the Onrushing tor
rents, he could see the mute, helpless,
appealing faces of his dear ones be
fore him. On their account this father
and husband would wiring his hands
and moan: 20 God! l have destroyed
them! 0 God, my sins have not only
destroyed myself, but destroyed those
who were dependent upon me ana
whom l have Influenced to live in this
house, built upon foundations of sand.
What will be the self reproach OF
that man as he enters eternity, con-
scious that by his negligence, his heed
less example, he has led his children
into such misery! To the loving heart
of such a father that self reproach
will be like the worm that never ules'
the fame that Is never quenched.
But 1 cannot close this discourse
without drawing your attention to one
other fact. This parable WAS spoken
as a climax, a summing up, perOra-
ton, to the greatest sermon that was
ever preached. After Christ in the
fifth. sixth and seventh chapters has
swept over the whole scope OF life ne
sums up all his teachings in this one
story. 1t is not sufiicient for us to
love the Lord, our Lord, with all our
hearts and strength and mind unless
we are willing to love our neighbors
as ourselves. Are you and not only
willing to pray to God that he will for
give us our sins, but are we also will
ing TO pray that he will help us to be
kind and gentle and fOrgiving in our
judgments of others? Will you and !
pray that God will inspire us to be eyes
for the blind, and food for the hungry
and medicine for the sicS, and clothing
for the naked, and crutches Tor the
lame? We must not only worship
Christ, but we must love the sinner
and outcast, who are made in the image
of God. Are we ready to make Christs
life the example Of our lives in all
things?
May God help us to listen to the
whole OF Christ's sermon on the
mount and to Fepeat all of its lessons
in the actions and thoughts Of our own
lives. Then shall we be like the wise
man who built his house upon a rock
Then when the rain descends and the
floods come and the winds blow ana
beat upon our house they will assail It
in vain, and it shall fall not, for It's
