it was the sacred duty of the presi
dent and members of the faculty oi
every male college TO look carefully
after the moral training of the stu

the student body of the A. and NJ.

boys anticipated with much pleasure
cities, where they go to play football,
the anticipatory pleasure was not

their contemplated visit to the girls
in blue. The speaker stated that he
had an arrangement with Mr.. Kin
cannon, the former president of the
local institution, whereby the stu

Lee, the distinguished commander-in-

the beauty and culture of Southern
women and of their loyalty and hero

that history failed to record an epoch
wherein the women of any country
had undergone the deprivation and
experienced by Southern
women during the civil war, and that

lntimely death of loved ones and the

only one hundred dollars.

ROOSEVELT TO KIBBEY
Confirms the Announcement of Secretary Garfield

There was received at the office of the governor Thursday morning letter from President Roosevelt, addressed to Governor Kibbey, which should once and for all do away with any doubts remaining in the mind of any one that the announcement recently made by Secretary Garfield to the Associated Press in reference to the views of the president on the joint statehood question was not final and un- changea ble. The letter is as follows: Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 3l, 'O7. My Dear Governor Kibbey:
 Secretary Garfield has been to see me and has reported to me in full the condition of affairs as he found them in Arizona and New Mexico, and especially the attitude of the people of each territory toward the question of joint state hood. His report makes it evident to me, as I was already prepared to believe, that the convictions of the peopre are settled and will not change. Under these circumstances, 1 shall take no further action looking toward joint statehood foI the two territories.
 You are at liberty to publish this letter.
 Sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Hon. J. H. Kibbey.
 Governor of Arizona,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
