ARIZONA AND
EHoop

Now that Oklahoma has Been added
to the list of American states New
Mexico and Arizona remain the only
two territories on the mainland of
our possessions. The rapid prepare
ton of Oklahoma for statehood in
only seventeen years from the time it
was made territory has exceeded the
record made by any other territory,
but this is due because of extraordi-
nary conditions for its advancement
Oklahoma, proper, was thrown open
to the public at a time when the ad-
joining territory had, been developed;
it's domain had been held by the In
dians, while Missouri, Kansas. Arkan-
sas and Texas had been advancing in
industrial Development on every side.
No one begrudges the good fortune
OF the people Of Oklahoma in obtain
ing the right of selfgOvernment. In
der all precedent in the history o
state making OKLAHOMA snoNl-RSTY
been admitted as a state half a dozen
years ago. Under all precedent in
the history + state making Arizona
and New Mexico should both have
long ago become states.
The recent rapid advancement of
both Arizona and New Mexico in the
development of agricultural and min
eral industries should be sufficient
guarantee of the ability of the people
in these territories to maintain state
governments equal to any now in ex-
istence.
Leaving New Mexicans 70 speak for
their territory, We never grow tired
of pointing to the past governmental
achievements of the people Of Ari-
iona as an evidence of their present
fitness for assuming the responsible
ty of maintaining a stable and credit
able commonwealth.
Among these achievements may be
recounted the Arizona University at
Tucson, the equal Of any educational
institution in the west, where nov
may be found students from almost
every state in the union; we point to
the territorial normal schools at Tenn
pc and Flagstaff from which ara
emerging annually some of the best
equipped teachers in the country; we
point TO the insane asylum at Phoe-
nix, the industrial school at Benson
and the magnificent public school
buildings throughout the territory:
We point to the various lodges and
societies throughout the territory. All
these testify to the fact that Arizona
has provided a foundation Sufficient
to sustain state government The
same character of citizenship which
has created the Arizona public school
system. which provides every child
with school room and good teach
er; which has provided every com
munity with a church; which has re
claimed the desert valleys and made
them productive in measure sur
passing any other land and country;

the virtues of whisky is the
falsest of philosophy and argument.
Whisky may make a man forget-.his
grief, but 1t also makes him forget
the burdens it is his duty to bear. It
may benumb his sense to worries and
undesirable thoughts, but 1t destroys
his responsibility. 1t may stimulate
man to greater endeavors through
reck1essness for the time being, but
in doing so it gets in the work OF
eventual destruction of all that is
good in man. 1t ruins him mentally,
morally and physically, norwith-
standing Mr. Wares argument to the
contrary.
If Mr.. Ware were one of those who
follows the trend of his own teaching
and preaching, which he is not. per-
haps an explanation might be found for
another most unusual statement that Is
made in his book. 1t almost verges
on sacrilege.
Discussing the Lincoln-Douglas
campaign Mr.. Ware says: "Mr. Lin
coin was slow; Mr.. Douglas was ex-
ceedingly slow. To the fire-eaters, Mr..
Douglas was altogether too fast, and
his election as president meant to
them ultimate secession, because they
preferred disunion to abolition. Per-
haps it would have been better for
the United States had Mr.. Lincoln
been defeated and Mr.. Douglas elect
ed president
The chances are that there would
have been no United States had the
calamity that Mr.. Ware thinks would
have been beneficial come to pass.
Some men, self styled historians.
make a bid for fame by showing
foolish courage in dissenting from
what the great, great majority of the
people believe to be right.

MIR. WARES FALLACIEs.

Murder will always out. So will
reasons for unusual occurrences. Peo-
pie Of Topeka have wondered in vain
for some time why Eugene F. Ware,
the versatile. and who has attained
fame lately as a wonder in mental
gymnastics. packed up his buds and
left a sunny spot in Kansas for that
dull, naturally unattractive and dreary
place on the Kansas side of the Kaw's
mouth. Not so much wonder would
have been caused had ne gone to some
big metropolitan center, some place
which would furnish room and varied
activities for the proper expansion of
his many energies and talents. But
why should he quit the broad and de-
llghtful fields of interior Kansas for
a place hedged in by railroad and
stock yards? The reason for it is that
he undoubtedly wanted to get as close
to Missouri as possible. This is evil

Wretchedness that bears down with

a greater blessing. 1t does much
harm, but it does more good Those
who are on soft duty in life's great

those who do the worlds work and
carry it's burdens do. Let them alone;
they know what makes life endur-
able"

place in any part of Kansas which
is not close to Missouri. A Mis-
souri, border town is just the
spot for him. Mr.. Ware is entitled to

1t is perfectly we'll known to ex-
perienced practical engineers that II a
dozen different locomotive engines
were made at the same time Of the
same power, for the same purpose, of
like materials in the same factory,
each of those locomotive engines
would come out with its own peculiar
whims and ways, only ascertainable by
experience.
One engine will take a great meal
of coal and water at once; another
will not hear of such thing, but will
insist on being coaxed by spadefuls
and bucketfuls. One is disposed to
start off. when required, at the top of
his speed; another must have little
time to warm to his work and to get
we'll into it.
These peculiarities are so accurate
~ mastered by skillful drivers that
only particular men can persuade par
ticular engines to do their best. 1t

brought out Of the shed: "1f it's Smith
who is to drive me, won't go. If it's
my friend Stokes. I am agreeable to

All locomotive engines are low
spirited in damp and foggy weather.
They have a great satisfaction in their
work when the air is crisp and frosty.
At such a time they are very cheerful
and brisk; but they strongly object to
haze and Scotch mists. These are
points of character on which they are
all united. 1t is in their peculiarities
and varieties of character that they
are most remarkable.-London Spec
