OF INTEREST TO FRATERNITIEs.

OF INTEREST TO FRATERNITIES.
 The organization of the new state of Oklahoma possesses a new interest for the secret societies. A writer in the American Tyler calls attention to the anomalous condition brought by the jointure of the two territories. as fol- LOWS:
 "The organization of Oklahoma pre- sents some interesting problems to the large fraternal bodies now having grand lodges in the two territories from which the new state is to he formed. Some may consolidate and some may not and the anomalous con dItion might present itself of two grand bodies in the same common wealth. This is particularly true of the grand lodge of Masons which having no superior authority, might each con tinue to exist. But the question might arise whether each was entitled to ex- ercise concurrent jurisdiction in the entire state or only over its own ter ritory. Or, would the Indian Territory yield in all cases because the name Of it's grand lodge will have become obso- Iete? And think of all the good men and true who will find themselves out of highly honorable fraternal positions in the new united bodies. How many ambitious members now in line in tho grand bodies will never reach the head of the grand bodies if they fuse?
 "The problem is a new one in Am erican fraternities, for while many grand jurisdictions have been divided by the establishment of new states and territories, never before have distinct and established grand jurisdictions been united"

WE'LL STILL BE FRIENDS.

Hon. Benjamin NJ. Read, prominent attorney of New Mexico and a former speaker of the legislature of that ter ritory, recently wrote an able letter against jointure putting forth the claims of New Mexico to admission as a single state. on strong historical grounds. It is set forth that New Mexico was not acquired by war, but became a part of the United States before the treaty of Guadalupe Hidal- go, and that while the Mexican war was stillin progress New Mexico nev- CT committed an act of hostility against the American government, but on the contrary warmly welcomed the American forces under General Rear ney and received a pledge from him as follows We come as friends to make you a part of the republic of the United States. In our government all New Mexico asked the government to redeem that pledge and has continual ly asked since, meeting with denial, and at times. insult from within the halls of congress. Through it all there has never been a faltering of New Mexican loyalty.
 MT. Read says he believes that two- thirds of the voters of New Mexico are against jointure. He hawever, fell into an error regarding the sentiments of Arizonians, who, he says. "repudiate our society and we don't want their company"
 The Republican has taken pains from time to time to reflect what it believes to be the Arizonian sent. .ment with respect to the people of New Mexico. It has admitted the good cit izenship and loyalty of the New Mex ican people who are in no sense an in ferior race, though largely of a differ ent race. That difference has been urged as one of the m nor reasons why there should be no jointurc and as one of the minor reasons also why New Mexico should be a separate state.
 We have urged too that on account Of what we believe to be more favor able conditions in this territory. the proposed partnership would be an un- equal one. Our main objection, though, is that the partnership, even if we were of the same race and if the con ditions of both territories were equal ly good, the partnership would be bad for both of us.
 More than all, this great area is en- titled to be two sovereign states in stead of one, as we would always be if jonture should prevail. We trust that our friends in New Mexico will grow in their opposition to joint state hood, but that they will not be nov ed by spirit of hostility toward Ari- zonianS.

THE JAPANESE MONOPOLY.

The sympathy Of the commercial in- terests of this country was wholly with Japan in the late war in the far east. American merchants and manufactur- CTS feared the greediness of the bear in Manchuria. They were not reassured when they were given the "open ports' of Mukden and Autung. one of them like Sancho Panza's island, many miles from sea
 They believed that If Russia were driven out of Manchuria, that country, which was the most promising of all developing markets, would be thrown open to the world It is now becoming painfully evident that the Japanese commercial domination of Manchuria will be far more exclusive of Ameri- can commerce than Russian control could have been.
 A couple of weeks ago a Japanese official, replying to an American com plaint that American trade in Man churia was being discriminated against by the Japanese government, denied it. saying that the Japanese merchants needed no protection. They were able. by their favorable situation with re- spect to Asia. to more than hold their own. There was an implication in the denial, however, that if they required
