to joint statehood, it may be many
years before single statehood for
each is brought about. 1t certainly
will not come so long as Roosevelt
is President. Cannon speaker. and
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Territories"
This has long been the opinion OF
statehood advocates in New Mexico,
and it is for that reason that New
Mexico returned a large majority last
fall in favor of joint statehood. Ari-
zona saw it the other way and voted
overwhelmingly against the PROPOSE
ton. If the people of Arizona can
stand it. surely the people of New
Mexico will be able to do so.
There is little doubt, however, that
had it not been for Senator Foraker
the proposition would have been plac-
ed before the two territories in an
other form. that is, the total vot of
New Mexico and Arizona as cast in
favor of either side of the statehood
matter. would have settled it. Senator
Foraker, however. did not see it that
way, and it was left within the power
Of Arizona to keep New Mexico out
of the Union. In spite of this, many
people in New Mexico would honor
the Ohio corporation senator by nam
ing a county after him.

The scenes at the meetings are bewil-

the entire congregation howls and

yelling, crying dancing and at times
from utter exhaustion, while
the men roll on the floor in an agony
of remorse, imploring in loud and ex-
cited tones for forgiveness.

20 reorganiza the present system of

has arranged fight between Squires
the Australian fighter, and Philadel-

reach here in a day or two and the
battle will take place next month.

BILE.
Meanwhile American fight fans would
like to know if Bill Squires is real
or merely the creation of
fertile press agents. Judging from
the reports that have been received
during the last few months regarding
the coming of Squires to America, the
latter theory would appear to be cor
rect.

Nathan the knocker.

Nathan Jones the Knocker
Was the pest of Pleasant View
Spent his time in knocking.
Having nothing else to do;
Knocked his next door neignbor,
And he knocked his neighbors'
cats;
Knocked his neighbors' children.
Though he always called them
"brats;'
Knocked the dry goods merchant
And the grocer down the street;
Knocked the town in general
To everyone he'd meet.
Nathan Jones the Knocker
Was a knockeroolooloo
From Knockerburg. Knocks county.
Though he lived in Pleasant View.
So at last they wearied,
These Pleasant Viewers all:
SHOWED that out of Nathan
They would have to take a fall;
SHOWED and swore they'd cure him,
A1d they lowed wnen they were
through
Jones would find they took of him
most UNPLEASANT View.
Nathan Jones the Knocker
Was invited to a ball
Had to walk a mile or so
To reach the public nall.
All the masqueraders
Lay in wait along the street:
Carried each a shingle
And wore a winding sheet.
Stepping from the darkness,
Six or seven to the block,
Every specter handed Nate
A quite substantial knock.
Nathan Jones the Knocker
When he reached the public square
Found the ghosts assembled
To surround him then and there;
Heard them sing a chanty,
And it gave him quite a shock.
For it's frequent chorus
Was a knock, knock, knock
Tins they knocked the knocker
Whom so long they had endured
Till they split their shingles
And Nathan Jones was cured.

Cash Grocery RurgIarized.

At an early hour before daylight
yesterday morning someone entered
the rear door of the Cash Grocery on
Main street and stole some goods
amounting possibly to seventy-five or
a hundred dollars in value. 1t is
thought that an assorted lot of pro
visions, including -four, meal and salt
meats, were taken, and the exact
loss cannot be estimated. The en-
trance was effected by breaking the
glass door near the lock and work
ing the combination lock. The officers
have no clew to work on, as the bur
glary was not discovered until one
of the proprietors came to open up
the store

If you want TO make your home
town prosperous, you will spend your
money in your own town in prefer
ence to some city a long way off.
Money in circulation around the
town you live in is much better for
your interests than the same money
in circulation in a city hundreds of
miles away. Your dollar is lonesome
in a big city, but it has friends round
home and therefore is more useful.
