territory with the Tel ublican ns strong and going stronger. The democrats would proha blv regar d Arizona as offsetting New Mexico md would desire that both terri tories be admitted at the same time to preserve the balance in congress. From a political standpoint both parties will probably look upon the admission of the two new states s preserving the balance of power in the presidential election. If President Roosevelt should ac- lively urge the admission of the two states it would be done this winter. But it is not believed that the president will take a very active part in the fight for state hood. however much quiet encour- agement and incidental assistance he may give. The president does pot yet see the political necessity of admitting the two new states at once under a republican admins tration and very strangely enough the elemental arguments of com mon honesty, national honor, and constructive statesmanship. all de- manding the immediate admission of New Mexico and Arizona 10 statehood, do not seem to have crowdtd d out of the presidents mind the prejudices that come from looking at the west through h eastern spectacles.
 For a generation the United States has allowed it's nationa honor to remain clouded by a broken promise, deliberate denial nf the rights of citizenship, solemn- Iy promised and guaranteed bl treaty to the people who live in the territory acquired from Mexico. It is the great privilege of Theodore Roosevelt and the national repub lican party, in this year of grace to remove this stain on the nation : honor, and there is no reason, ex- cuse or pretext that can justly sus tain any longer the denial 10 6O0,- 900 American citizens the rights they should enjoy under the con stitution.-El Paso Herald.

Urging Us to "Butt In"

There is no reason under the sun why Arizona should hold back from making her statehood fight IL is possible New Mexico will have the preference on grounds of larger popula ton and older territoria entity. But one thing sure Arizona will not get statehood until she makes her demand stick, and the more noise she makes and the more persistent her campaigning the soor CT statehood will come.
 New Mexico and Arizona will be able to work together now to prevent forced marriage. New Mexico never did want joint state hood hut there was a time when some New Mexicans thought they did. Now that is past and gone and there is no New Mexican who would be satisfied with jointure.
 Arizona deserves statehood and it would be mighty good politics on the part of the National repub- licans if they should admit the state, for Arizona IS competive

MONEY WILL ARRIVE SOON

In a few days the boards oi supervisors of five Arizona counties will receive the money due then for the expense incurred in hold ing the statehood election on Nov 5, 1906.
 Under the provisions of tht statehood act the territories ot Arizona and New Mexico were tt be re embursed for all expense in- cured in voting upon the question ,f joint statehood. The claims oi these five counties-Pima, Mari copa, Graham, Gila and Ccconino have been audited, and acting U. ,. Auditor G. w. Esterly has or lered that warrants aggregatine $1O197 AS be issued as soon the various boards of supervisors agree to the reductions made in their claims.
 Saturday morning a copy of this order was received at the office oi Secretary Nichols. The exac, amount which each county is en- titled to, according to the figures of the national auditor, are:
 Pima. $1152 19; Ora ham, $2315.- 30; Coconino. $14SS 19; Gila s2OO5 65; Maracopia, $2625 66 Total, $1O.197 AS.
 There were reductions made in the claims of all the counties nam ed. That of Maricopa was the largest, being $1OS2 IA. Pima county's bill was reduced $173 30 Graha ms, $461 60; Coconino's $l27 10, and Gila's SIP 2S.
 Notifications have been mailed to all the supervisors, and as soon as they agree to the reductions that have been made the warrants will be sent along. It is thought that the boards will agree imme diately, for there would be little profit in kicking against the de- crees of che auditors department
 The claims of the other counties of the territory have not yet been audited, but will be in very short time.
 This money will be sent here in cash, and ten thousand dollars in coin will mean an apprecia ble augmentation of our currency al this tims-Phoerix Gazette.

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES.
Thomas Jefferson.
BY j. "A. EDGE RON.
spz-w TOMAS JEFFERSON while the

WT% IOMAS JEFFERSON, while the
great Democrat of his era, was
of rather aristocratic parentage
and had the advantage Of a lib
eral education. He was peculiarly,
considering his time and surroundings,
of the type Of the scholar in politics.
That he should have been this and yet
the foremost American radical of his
day marks him as an odd combination
in our history. The turning point in
his career was his appointment to draft
the Declaration of Independence. This
came about from a double cause-Jef-
ferSOn's reputation as a writer of polit-
ical documents and the jealousy felt
by certain members Of congress toward
Richard Henry Lee, who had intro
duced the independence resolution.
Volumes have been written to disprove
Jefferson's authorship Of the Declara-
ton, and widespread belief has per-
sisted even to the present that most
of it, if not all, was really written by
Thomas Paine. However that may
have been, the fact that Jefferson was
consequent Inference that it was his
work and the reputation resultant
therefrom operated powerfully to make
him a political leader. In addition to
this, the unquestioned products of his
pen, breathing the spirit of advanced
democracy and the doctrines of the
French revolution, tended to place him
49, tn
sentiment in this country.
JefferSOn's greatest power was his
optimistic faith in the people. He
trusted them. and they returned the
compliment Herein is to be found
the secret Of his success. He was not.
e speaker. He belonged to the school
of the idealists rather than to that of
the practical politicians. He inclined
to be a freethinker in religion. All
these things were handicaps rather
than helps toward popularity. It was
Jefferson's persistent advocacy of the
rights Of the people and his implicit
trust in their judgment that made him
so strong with the masses. 1t was this
that made him the most commanding
figure at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century and an influential fac
tor from that day to the present.
In person Mr.. Jefferson was tall and
bony, with light eyes, rudy complex
lon and red hair.

out lunches to
have more time
to read.

1%O improve his style as q writer
benjamin Franklin as a boy
lead passages from Addison's
Spectator, then two or three
days later tried to reproduce them.
He was careful not to memorize the
language, but only fixed the thought
in his mind, then by comparing his
own language with the original was
enabled to discover the defects in his
style.
To improve his conduct Franklin
made out a list of the cardinal virtues,
then marked down any infractioD Of
them during each day. He also adopt
ed early in life set Of simple rules
for his guidance.
In youth Franklin happened to read
Xenophon's description of the Socratic
method, and it made lasting impress
sion Oh his mind. He decided to drop
the dogmatic way of making state
ments and to follow the plan Of the
wise old Athenian. To this habit Of
asking questions and making sugges-
tive and tentative statements rather
than being self assertive and positive
Franklin ascribed much Of his later
success as writer and diplomat.
He rail- away from Boston while
mere stlipling, yet before he left he
had read every book on which he could
lay his hands. He even went without
his lunches with the twofold object Of
having more time in which to read and
of having more money to spend for
books.
Franklin's first notable success was
with Poor Richards Almanac" the
quaint and wise sayings in which at
tanned immediate and worldwide pop
ularity and were translated into almost
every known tongue.
In %Franklin's electrical experiments,
especially the famous one with the kite,
he endangered his life, yet so intent
was he on discovering the truth that
he seemed utterly Indifferent to per-
sonal peril.
Franklin's moral courage was shown
nowhere more than in his treatment of
his Legitimate son, William He took
the boy to live in his own home and
introduced him everywhere as his son,
both in America and Europe
