Unfair to the City.

The Tribune says there have been
twenty-three Gts list shows but twenty
two) murders in Minneapolis under the
present municipal administration and
only three convictions. This it thinks
an unusual proportion, even under the
lax and tender administration of Amer
lean criminal law. It finds "no expla-
nation of it in an otherwise honest and
capable administration of city affairs -
The Tribune editorial writer doesn It
look for the explanation in the right
place. If he should analyze the figures
prepared by his local department., he
will find that, for some reason, the
record has been made to appear very
much worse than it is. There have
been at the most but fifteen separate
crimes of this kind committed during
the sixteen months of this administra-
tion, including two against infants and
one that may have been case of
suicide.
That is less than one a month. The
killing of the six Macedonians should
properly be regarded as one crime and 50
in the case of Stella Brennan, who
killed three Of her husbands children.
Nor does it seem to be necessary to
saddle upon Minneapolis a crime COM
mitted on a railroad train before the
train arrived in the city, while crimes
OF this character against infants are
not such as can be cited as evidences of
ineficiency of the police department.
OF these fifteen the perpetrators of
seven have been arrested and sentenced
or are awaiting trial or have committed
suicide. 1t is by no means certain that
the body of the unknown man found
on Minnehaha creek was not that of
suicide. From this analysis it is evil
dent that out of the Tribune s list of
twenty-three (22) murders there are
only seven murders for which no arrests
resulting in conviction have been made.
In the case of one of these, a case of
supposed infanticide, there was an ar
rest, but the grand jury was unable to
find an Indictment and release was
necessary. That leaves only six for
which no arrest was made, including
one case of infanticide under circum-
stances where Identification of the
guilty person could not be expected
Of the remaining five cases one was the
elimination, in all probability, of q
Macedonian vendetta carried over from
southeastern Europe, and one of those
mysterious crimes not uncommon among
a people who throw every obstacle in
the way of police investigation; an
other was the mysterious shooting of
Rogatz, the coachman, at his employer IS
door, and another was that of Bader,
the saloon man, killed probably by
some wandering assassin, in which case
the Tribune took hand only to con-
fess it's complete failure.
The good name Of the city is not pro-
NOTED by such exaggerated and mis-
leading, untruthful and sensational
statements as to the prevalence Of
crime here and we do not believe they
are justified even as means of knock
ing an administration with which the
prevaricator may not be in sympathy.

CANADIAN DIRT FLYING
Era Of Unprecedented Railroad Build
ing Observed in Northwest.

0PcCiSl " 4nc uouudIs
Winnipeg, Man., July 13.-It is
estimated that this summer fully 5000
miles of new railroad will be built be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Rocky
mountains. Every company operating
in building new branches or main lines.
Never before was such great railroad
activity witnessed in any country and
the prospects are that the new mileage
laid during 1907 will be still greater.
The Canadian Pacific is now building
no less than nineteen new lines and
the Canadian Northern is at work on
about the same number. Thousands of
men and teams are rushing work on the
Crank Trunk Pacific, a number Of
miles of which will be in operation
within a few weeks, and it is expected
trains will be running between Edmon-
ton and Fort Williams within a year.
: From the south, j. j. Hill is building
several branches across the interna-
tional boundary and he promises to lay
trunk line from Winnipeg to the
Pacific coast at an early date.
On the western side of the Rockies
railroad construction is equally active,
a bitter fight being waged by the Cam
adian Pacific and the Great Northern
for control Of several valuable mineral
districts. and within a year the Grand
Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern
will also be engaged in the same fight
Wherever a small settlement is opened

Arizona and Statehood.

The presidents letter urging that
Arizona vote for joint statehood with
New Mexico has been endorsed by a
number of conservative journals, in
cluding the New York Tribune. The
latter argues that so long as congress
had not passed upon the question of
separate admission, it was good poll
tics for Arizona to perfect her case
and reinforce her claims to single state
hood, but that, congress having de-
clined to admit the validity Of the az
gument, the thing for Arizona to do is
to accept the situation as It is and to
lose no time in voting herself into the
union. The only question at issue. it
declares, is the practical one whether
statehood is more to be desired than q
continuation Of territorial dependence
The validity Of this argument de-
pends greatly on whether the doors Of
single statehood are forever shut upon
Arizona. If the territory could be con-
vinced Of that it would probably accept
the merger state in the belief that half
loaf is better than no congressional
bread. But is it necessary to accept
this doctrine9 There will be other con-
crosses. The case for Arizona is grow
ing all the time. The territory is ac-
quiring more American population
every day. It's resources are becoming
better understood every year. The
territory is doing very well under her
present laws and is quite as content as
a territory can be. Union with New
Mexico would involve becoming the
junior partner in an association in
which Arizona would contribute supe-
riority in everything except in num-
bers and in which she would see her
self, her plans and her ideals. dictated
by good Americans, overwhelmed by
the New Mexican horde which does not
even speak English. To accept state
hood under such conditions would be
bitter for Arizona and she would do it
only when convinced that no other road
into the union was Open
