has been suggested that 1t would De well for all parties in Arizona to abandon politics in the selection of those who will be the candidates for delegates to the proposed constitu- tional convention. As no such con vention will ever be held, the matter of how the candidates for delegates are chosen will not make any material difference, but to our mind, the mak. ing of a state constitution would be the very place where desirable politi- cal principles should be in the ascen. dancy. Arizona, however, if her peo, pie voted to accept the joint statehood bill, would have Tttle to say about what should or should not go into the constitution. New Mexico delegates would dominate the constitutional con, vention, and all future legislation would be dominated by the members from that part of the new state.

BRYAN AND
 ROOSEVELT.

One of the best evidences that the Republicans are in great alarm con cerning the popular wave which Is now going over the country, demand ing that Bryan be made the next Democratic candidate for President, is the fact that Republicans are almost unanimous in the belief that their party only contains one man who would have any show of success against Ike Nebraskan. They seem 10 forget that the seeming recent popu' larity of the President is because he has adopted some of the remedial leg isiaIive remedies first advocated and urged by MT. Bryan. But with Bryan as the Democratic candidate. on platform demanding removal of the tariff protection which has builded. the trusts and upheld them in their bold robbery of the consumers of the coun' try, it will be found that when MT. Roosevelt agreed that the stand ptsllSES SiOuiu nave luSil "os 0-Ae be allowed to smother even discus son Of tariff reform, that he missed ihe main chance" No amount of reg ulation of trusts will give the full measure of relief to which the people are entitled so long as they are per mitted to add the amount of tariff duties on foreign products to the price Of their manufactured home products, while at the same time they are sell ing these products in foreign markets for less than home citizens are com pelled to pay.
 Why should this country protect any man in selling goods to foreign CTS for a less price than home people are compelled to pay? If it be true, as contended by thousands of Repub- licans. that the Republican party only contains one man that would stand chance to win against Bryan, then, indeed, the G.. 0. P. is worn down in popular favor to a feather edge.

STAND PAT, GOVERNOR.

Governor Kibbey has been summon ed to Washington by the President for a consultation with reference Jo the joint statehood vote in Arizona next November. The Governor has been called upon the carpet, as 1t were, and the President will endeayor to show the chief executive of Arizona that the interests of the Republican party demand that the representatives of the administration in Arizona de vote their time and attention in an effort to swing Arizona into the joint statehood column.
 The Review predicts that Governor Kibbey will stand pat. In the face of his public utterances upon this sub ject in the past he cannot do other wise Governor Kibbey has been the leader of the Republican party in Ari- zona in opposition to the joint state hood bill, and presided over the anti joint statehood convention held in Phoenix more than a year ago. Gov ernor Kibbey may lose his official head, for his anti-joint statehood opin ions, but Arizona's Governor will never acquiesce in any administration plan looking toward the delivery oi
 Arizona into the hands of the Mexican | inhabitants of New Mexico.

The announcement that Territorial Examiner Foster has discovered some irregularities in the Cochise county offices and that his report, which is soon to be made public, will be sen sational, will naturally cause an anx- iety to see the document.

BEVE RIDGE WILL NOT VISIT ARIZONA.

The announcement that Senator
 Beveridge will not find time to visit Arizona and take part in the Arizona Statehood campaign will be regretted
 by all who have been opposed to his iniquitous scheme for yoking this Ter ritory up with New Mexico as one
 State. After being turned down ill his effort to force the people of Arizona into a joint state with New Mexico, i. would be the limit of impudence for this Indianan to OCT to advise the people of Arizona. The statehood bill passed by Congress granted to the peo' pie of Arizona the right to decide for themselves whether or not they would joiL New Mexico and make the "Ari- zcna the Great" pictured so elo- quentiy in the Senate by MT. Bever' idge. There was no provision in the bill for Arizona to vote on the proDo sition after they had been advised by the Senator from Indiana. The ap, pearance of this slanderer of Arizona in this Territory during the Statehood campaign would go far towards malI ing the vote against the acceptance of joint statehood absolutely unani

Santa Fe county, New Mexico, owes public debt aggregating one mil. lion dollars, with less than three mil. lion dollars in taxable property. To pay this debt would bankrupt its cit izens. Other counties in New Mex. ico are in much the same debt-ridden condition. In case of joint statehood 1t would be quite natural for the New Mexicans to saddle their county debts on the new state for the people of Arizona to pay.

Pyramid Lake Reservation

As soon as the lands of the Pyramid
Lake Indian reservation are irrigated bv
the United States reclamation project,
the whites will be allowed To settle
there; and it is expected that a land
lottery will be conducted to give all an
equal chance. That the government
intends to open this tract within the
next summer is evident from the fact
that the commissioner OF Indian affairs,
F. f. Leupp, instructed the superin.
tendent OF the Nevada agency t. tlke q
census of the Indians there and provide
for them. These Indians are to be
given five acres OF irrigated lanas-all
the remainder in the large area will be
given over to settlement
However, there is a saving clause in
the act which makes the opening OF the
Pyramid reservation: Under section %
OF the act OF April q, 1901, any lands in
the Pyramid Lake Reservation in Ncv-
ada made irrigable by work prosecuted
under the reclamation act OF June II
1902, may be reclaimed, utilized and dis.
posed OF by the Secretary OF the Inter
ior as though they were a part Of the
public domain; but it is stipulated that
five acres OF irrigable land shall be re-
served for and allotted to each Indian be.
longing on the reservation. The re-
naming lands are to be disposed OF and
settled on by the whites under certain
terms and conditions not determined
The director Of the geological survey
states that the lands in the Pyramid
Lake reservation will be irrigated under
the Truckee- Carson project.
Pyramid Lake reservation is located
about thirty miles east OF Reno. 1t lies
fifteen miles north OF the Southern Pa

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
BALL A GRAND SUCCESS

Alpine Lodge, No. "a, Knights OF
Pythias gave their annual ball at the
court house Wednesday evening, and to
say that it was most enjoyable affair
would be putting it very mildly indeed
The efforts of the various committees to
make the evening one OF exhilirating
pleasure was appreciated by the sixty
couple who tripped the light fantastic
until the wee hours of the morning, and
the affair must of necessity 90 on record
as being an unqualified success.
The dance music was furnished by the
Reed & Lindsay orchestra, composed of
the following members: violin, Fred
Reed; piano, William Lindsay eornets,
Harry Clinton and Jack Kerr; slide
trombone, Guy Blair. The various rem
ditions were among the best ever danced
to by the local people.
Financially, the dance was q success,
quite neat balance being left over
after all expenses were paid to go into
the lodge exchequer.
The supper for the occasion was
furnished by William F. Adams and
wife, OF the Hotel Fallon, and the eulin-
ary efforts in evidence showed Mrs.
Adams to be an artist in this particular
line. The efforts of these popular
people was thoroughly appreciated by
the connoisseurs present, and the ban
quet will do much towards establishing
areputation for the Hotel Fallon. which
although new business enterprise, is
enjoying a tlourishing trade.

Arm Broken by Horse

viii Hoover, one of Churchill coun-

cident Wednesday afternoon, while en-
gagged in his work, that will lay him up
and absent him from his work for sew
eral weeks. A number OF bronchos, be-
longing to j. W. Nannoy, the harness
man, were being broken to ride by Mr..
Hoover and a companion, who had i'm
bibed OF the approaching Thanksgiving
cheer and become more or less incapaci
tated for the dangerous work, which he
had undertaken. Mr.. Hoover, noticing
the condition OF his associate, took his
horse from him and mounted it. The
animal bucked down Maine street, and
in lunging, approached so near the fence
of the John Snyder place, that Mr..
Hoover,s left arm encountered the Dick
cts, breaking bone between the elbow
and wrist. However, he pluckily held
his horse under control, until the ami
NAL had ceased bucking, when he sought
the services of a physician, who dressed
the injured member and placed it IN a
splint,
