We're All AriZonans

No one can attend a convention in Arizona, or meet an Arizona delegation at national convention without being impressed with the unity of Arizona people in loyalty to the commonwealth, and with the splendid spirit that drives these progressive people forward.
 To the Arizona man, there is no drag on the forward movement. So far as outsiders can see, there is no element of failure, no flaw in the beautiful structure Arizonans have erected as their ideal. They have the great good sense not to show their bad spots to casual visitors or to the world at large.
 You cannot find a knocker in Arizona. You never hear an Ari- zonan say anything against the territory. Politicians may lambas st each other personally and party platforms may denounce opponents. But "Arizona". is a platform on which all stand alike; and on great questions like joint statehood, Ari- zonans are united.
 Arizona has surprising amounto of the "community spirit". Each town has every citizen for booster. No citizen would ever change his resi- dence, and while a resident of one town is able to recognize the good points of another, he always sees a few more good points in his home town than in the other, and no Ari- zona man ever tries to boost his own town by pulling back on another.
 It is an inspiration to mix with these splendid fellows. Statehood or no statehood, they are creating a magnificent commonwealth.-El Fl Paso Herald

JUST A JEW JOINTURE JOLTS.

New Mexico is enjoying another scandal in her public affairs. This time the leader of the joint state hood forces is involved. Arizona hasn't the time nor the inclination to play missionary just at the pres ent stage. .-Bisbee Miner. The strongest argument that can be presented to the taxpayer against jointure is the fact that New Mex ico is in debt-burdened almost beyond hope of redemption. One county of that ill starred territory owes about two thirds of its total valuation. And the worst feature about the matter is that in many { perhaps most instances these burdens of debt were caused by rank system of public graft and loot carried on by corrupt public of 6cials. Bulletin.
 H. O. Bursum recently superin- tendent of the New Mexico peniten- tiary, and one of the original joint statehood howlers, is under charge of embedding seven or eight thous- and dollars of the territory's funds Bursum is also chairman of the republican territorial committee and is mayor of Socorro. The charge against him is arousing consid- erable animosity and an effort is being made by the statehooders to fix 1t up without further notoriety. The records of the prison have also heen destroyed to hide the alleged shortage -Kingma Miners
 The question of jointure will be defeat ted in Arizona by an overwhelm ing majority and it may not car " even in New Mexico. Defeat at the polls is admitted, even by the jointists, the only question being that of the ma joriIy. The strong argument made to congress by the jointists was that the people wanted jointure and would demostrate it if they had chance to vote: that on ly the politicians were opposing it. What sort of front will the New Mexico jointists present to the next congress after their defeat? Will they ake the reverse attitude and insist that the territories should be joined arbitrarily after their expression at the polls: that they haven't sense enough to know what is good for them? And if they should do so, 1 would congress be foolhardy enough to set up a state government of'any kind with a population that did not have sense enough to know its own interest? Congress would likely conclude that it is bad enough to have two territories of that kind. There is only one other thing the New Mexico jointists could do and that would be to renew their old fight for separate statehood. And having admitted their need of Ariz- ona's wealth. brains and popula- tion as well as their own, to fit them for statehood, what sort of an ar gument can they put forth to prove their individual fitness for the re- responsibilities of separate state2 There is just one thing for conser
 vative, thoughtful New Mexica ms to do. That is to "stand pat" for separate statehood and defeat join ture, just as Arizona proposes to do. I-Republican.

EXPERIENCING A CHANGE
New Mexico Beginning to Sit Up
 and Take Notice

That there IS a reaction sweeping over New Mexico against jointstate hood with Arizona is the infor nation which Colonel Frank Murphy of Prescott has received from private sources.
 Colonel Murphy was in the city yesterday afternoon enroute to Tom bstone.
 Surprising as this situation may seem there are excellent reasons why New Mexicans are awakening and beginning to go cautiously ill the statehood matter.
 "The people of New Mexico are coming to d realization that if they vote overwhelmingly for iointure this fall they will be placed in d pretty predicament when they go before Congress next winter and ask to be admitted as a separate state," remarked Colonel Murphy
 "It is being generally realized throughout New Mexico that the jointure vote in Arizona will be very small," he continued. "For this reason the people of New Mex ico are now considering the ques tion as to whether it would not be better in the end for New Mexico also to vote down the joint ure proposition. In that event New Mexico could ask with good grace that she be admitted as a single state. On the other hand if the jointure vote should carry over whelmingly in New Mexico, that territory could not consistently ask for single statehood after having voted heavily in favor of jointure." :"
 No person is better qualified to speak of conditions in Northern Arizona than Colonel Murphy. He does not think the jointist vote in the northern counties will be more than 10 per cent and he repeats his estimate that the jointists will not get more than five per cent vote in the entire territory.
 "In Apache county the jointists are about stand off' he remarked. "In Coconino, Navajo and Mohave counties there will probably be a Is per cent jointer vote. In Yava- pal county however the jointers are very few and Yavapai's vote will bring the jointer percentage in the northern counties down to 10 per cent. With the strong anti-jointure vote of Maricopa, Graham and Cochise and other southern coun ties, I think that the whole jointer vote will not amount to more than five per cent of the entire vote cast."-Tucson Citizen.

IN A TIGHT PLACE.

Poor old Senator Platt! One would think that the scandals growing out of his connection with the insurance exposures would be enough for one man to contend with, but 1t appears now that he must face more serious matter In connection with the charges and claims made by Miss Mae Wood. As is well known. there has been more or less newspaper talk and rumors for months in which 1t was hinted or de- scIared that she has a right to be called Mrs. Platt. Now, however. the matter has apparently assumed a defin- ite shape and a firm of Richmond at- torneys have taken hold of 1t in earn est.
 Briefly stated. Miss Wood advances the claim that she was duly and prop erly married to Thomas c. Platt In New York about five years ago, and that she has the witnesses and the marriage certificate to prove her claim. shortly after the marriage she was induced to take a trip to Europe and while she was absent, as she ayers, Mrs. Janeway seduced the old repro bate and married him. When Miss Wood Cor Mrs. PlatD returned. she found that her giddy hubby had been pre-empted. and that she had been dis possessed, evicted, bounced and goner- ally dissolved from rne firm.
 This is the story as Mae tells 1t. and she Is mad. Naturally she pro- poses to get even and to give husband Platt and the other wife something to think about. And she will do 1t, un- Iess there's a. slip ip the schedule. The poet Congreve tells us that
 Heaven has no rage like love to ha-
 tired turned.
 Nor hell a fury like woman seorn-

THE roRrY-srxrH STATE.

Oklahoma's admission to the Union will clear up the territorial question very considerably. While the bill car ries provision that looks very much like bribe of s5.000,0oo to New Mexi- co and Arizona to induce them to con- sent to wediock. there is small likeli- hood that the bribe will be accepted.
 They have been apart for so many years that they have traditions and sympathies that differ aud give to each territory its individuality. To join them as one State to.be called Arizona would be to compliment Arizona by name, while shearing the people there of their political life. They would te engulfed by the more populous New Mexico.
 Remaining apart. they will in all probability remain out of the Union. or be kept out of the Union rather, until that good time when the Democ- racy shall resume control of the Gov- ernment in all its branches. The East Is barely holding its own with the West in the growth of power at Washington, and they have always been reluctant to see the formation of new States. New England in partieu- lar was hercely wroth at the estao- lishment of the Louisiana Territory it was even more frantic when Texas was brought In. Besides this feeling there is the other growing out of the probability that Arizona and New Mexico would be gain to the Demo- cratic party. The agitation for admis- sion will continue. but we hardly an- ticipate the Republican party will ever admit them as separate states.
 There Is a melancholy phase of the creation of the new State out of Okla homa by the Incorporation with 1t of the Indian Territory. There are doubt less living now in Alabama many per sons who recall some of the sad feat ures accompanying the removal of the Creeks from this State; the eloquently mournful address by a Creek chief to the General Assembly at Tuscaloosa; the suicide of a Creek boy in the river here in Montgomery, choosing death rather than separation from his home; and now comes the final step that
 means their being drawn into the swirl of great modern Industrial State. Prohibition of the sale of whis- key will not save the Indian. His ap- petite for whiskey is 10 match for the white mans appetite for the Indians possessions His leave-taking will be prolong ed-but oklahoma" spells "adieu" for the Indian.

ALABAMA MARBLE

The practical decision of the Capi- tol Commission to use Alabama marble in the finishing and decorative work to be done on the old and new building is a proper one. Now the owners of mar ble property in the State should re- spond by showing that they can supply the material as fast as needed and on as good terms as it can be bought elsewhere. It should not be expected of those who have charge of the work that they will take the home product, unless 1t is suitable. and csn be sup piled in time and on favorable terms. We remember many years ago that Q large worker and dealer in marble in this city was asked why he did not make use of the Alabama marble in- stead of gettirg his supplies from New England. Because" was the reply, T can have a carload of marble ship ped to Montgomery from Vermont part of Alabama"
 That was when there were few rail- roads in Alabama. and the few that were in operation charged their own prices for local freight. It Is not so now, and no such reason for patroniz- ing other State products can be given. We have railroads to the marble quar- ries, and we have freight schedules and regulations which should enable the owners of the quarries to get their products here at less cost than they can be procured elsewhere. The only point or difficulty is whether the own- CTS of the quarries can supply the marble when it Is needed.
 It will be a good advertisement for the owners and workers of marble properties in Alabama to have the Capitol work done with Alabama stone Much of the work will be ornamental, and 1t will be pointed out to visitors and strangers as lasting evidence of what our State has and is prepared to supply on demand. This, as we'll as State pride and Iaudable competition, should be sufficient to make 1t sure that every foot of marble used shall be from our own State quarries. We have the raw material and this work will be a splendid place to utilize and dis- | play t.
