Senator Morgan's objection to the conference report on the statehood bill. because it puts it into the power of the president to admit or reject Ari- zona is purely theoretical. In general, it may be improper to invest the presi- dent with such power but in this par ticular instance, it will not be improp- erly employed. Arizona, on November 6, of this year will see to it that the president will have no power or discre- tion to exercise. The Alabama sena- tors fear that the voters of this terri tory will succumb to that "$5, ,OOO, ,OOO bribe" is needless. Five million dol lars. a clear sum in cash would be something to think about but this gift which means only the throwing down of the bars to land sharks and thieves. will be regarded by the voters as a most accursed gift.

The meat inspection bill recommend ed by the house committee on agri- culture appears to be rigid enough for all purposes if the law into which it is proposed to enact 1t he rigidly en- forced. The amendment providing for the payment of the expense by the government is an excellent one. for as the members of the Texas delegation pointed out, if it were not paid by the government, it would eventually be paid by the consumers. It was quite probable that if the packers had to pay 1t nominally, they would collect it back twice, once from the consumers ard again from the stockmen. Any way. 1t is apparent that it would be impossible to put this burden
 on the packers and keep it there. Besides. there was an appearance of unfairness in the original proposition. The legislation is designed for the protection of the people and not of the
 packers. In such case the government

PROBABLY KNOWS
 WHERE ASPY IS
4 California Sheriff Inquiries if He is
 Still Wanted.

Former Sheriff w w. Cook yester- day received a letter from a sheriff of one of the northern California coun- ties inquiring if A. K. Aspy Is still wanted here. He did not say that he knew who Aspy was but he said the matter had been recalled to him by the discovery of certain papers in his desk. He desired to be informed at once what interest in the movements of Aspy still existed here
 Aspy is under indictment for assault with intent to commit murder. For a time he was a paid member of the Phoenix fire department He was given to periodical sprees. and one night while shooting up the town, he took shot at H. Ware, now the man. ager of the Russell Grocery company. That was about five years ago. He was indicted by the next grand jury. Hav- ing been held to that grand jury, he was put under a bond signed by R. A. Warner then chief of the fire depart ment, and Adolph Liebenow
 Aspy did not appear to answer to the indictment and the task of bringing him back was put upon his bondsmen. though no action was begun against them for more than a year. Suit was finally brought and dragged through the courts until the last term. when the bondsmen were given judgment.
 Some time after the finding of the indictment it was learned that Aspy had found work in San Francisco. but by the time arrangements could be made to go after him he had moved elsewhere

AN UNFoRTUNATE QUESTION.

Unfavorable comment has been pro voked by a certain question which ap- pears in the printed application blanks for the use of applicants for positions as teachers in the Phoenix schools The question is. in substance: Are you member of any church?'
 This question is either of no signif- icance at all. or it Is of deep signif- icance. If of none it is a mere waste of space and might as we'll be, What was the color of your grandmothers hair?" But if it is of significance. 1t is a violation of the spirit of the con- stitution of the United States, which finds expression in Article VI: NO religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States"
 No one can more fully recognize than The Republican the great service which the churches render to society and the cause of education. It may well be doubted whether society could exist if religion were withdrawn, but the experience of nations has taught that there should be no intermingling of church and state at any point.
 It is essential that teachers shall be of sound moral character. The answer to that question of the application blanks gives no assurance that the ap- plicant possesses that essential Not all members of the church are moral, and not nearly all who are out Of the church are immoral However, the point is. that in the interest of the public policy which the fathers adopted and which has been closely adhered to. ones fitness for a place of trust is not to be determined by any religious test.
 It is perhaps not the meaning of the school board or whoever authorized the form of that application blank that negative answer or no answer at all to that question. would exclude the ap- plicant from consideration. But the implication unavoidably is that the an swer will have some weight, however great or slight. in favor of or against the applicant.
  tion was inspired by overmuch zeal for the church or a mistaken zeal for the schools. We are certain, though, that an error has been made and that neither the schools nor the church will be benefited.
 We have known churches greatly to influence the affairs of school districts. especially of rural districts. Ere quently there are so many persons of one denomination within a district as to be able to control the school board which gives preference to teachers of that particular church. This very ire quent condition is unavoidable. but it has no official sanction. It is in effect an exercise of personal preference on the part of the board without refer ence to merit. The condition usually works its own cure. Dissatisfaction with a possibly inferior school manage ment and with the tacit denominational control of the school in a short time results in a revolution and brings a new element into the ascendancy.
 But in this case, whatever is meant by that objectionable question, it is certain to be construed as a religious test, officially applied, and We believe that even most people who are jealous for the churches will regret that it is being asked.

what was adGuced from the dill ore deal
as an indication of what might be done in
the way Of making stockholders direct
participants in the profits of the coal
properties. That there is another reason
Is evident from the fact that the rise had
already assumed large proportions before
the Great Northern plan was announced.
What this reason is few people seem to
know, but these few have been buyers OF
the stock for weeks Some of the buyers
are capitalists interested in other anthra-
cite roads. and it is said that after look
ing into Delaware and Hudson's affairs
they came TO the conclusion that there
was substantial value in the property TAR
in excess Of the price put upon it by the
market quotations for the securities. Del
aware and Hudson owns the largest body
Of iron ore now remaining outside Of the
hands of the manufacturing interests since
the lease of the Great Northern ore lands,
and 1t IS quite possible that this fact has
had a good deal 20 do with the rise in the
stock. 1t is known that the company has
had several Inquiries as to the terms on
which it would grant mining rights cover
ing large sections Of those lands.
Although vague the rumOr that the rise
in Delaware and Hudson pOrtends a Taer-
ger with Lehigh Valley has been received
by many brokers as a theory that might
have something in it, At present there Is
a close traffic alliance between the two
roads on business between New England
and the West

from the north was making every
body hustle along the street at an
unwonted pace. 1t continued
cold and snow fell until Tuesday
noon, when it let up and most of
snow fall has left the valley Re.
ports from the outside world are
to the effect that much more snow
fell at all other points along the
line of the Union Pacific road in
the state than here. At Rock
Springs three feet fell, at Rawlins
IL inches, the same at Walcott,
while about two feet fell at Chey-
enne and Laramie. On Tuesday
schools in both places were aban-
doned. The U. p. got out it's
snow plows and kept the road op-
en- only by that means. This is
one of the coolest and longest
storms ever witnessed at this time
of the year in this locality for 30
years.
