THE STATEHOOD MATTER

Delegate Marcus A. Smith has returned to Tucson after few days spent at the spriugs of Auga Cali ente in Yuma county. Through the columns of the Saturday nights Ciiiz-n, Mir Smith had learned of President Roosevelt's remarkable flip flop over the mat ter of single statehood for Arizona. In discussing the Presidents an- nouncement that he now favored separate statehood for both Ariznna and New Mexico, Delegate Smith in substance said:
 II am delighted to see the cha nge that has come over the spirit of ths president. True, the change is radical. and on that account more welcome. His argument last veal WAS that neither Arizona nor New Mexico was fit for statehood alone and he seemed to be conceedinf something to us even when he ad vocated joint statehood. What has converted the president, and s' completely y and suddenly converted 1im ia needless now to enquire One thing is dead sure. He ha' earned nothing new about th' resources of the territories, for al
 hat could be truthfully said war .aid time and time again 10 him md made doubly clear by speeche. ,n the floor of the House as we'll as ny the printed reports of the com nittee of the House to which tn. .ubject was referred. But 1 an sorry the President, in the state. ment made by him, did not give us more to hope for. We are assured ny the statement that nothing car he done the coming session. But why2 We know nothing can m lone in the succeeding short ses- sion. for it's whole time will be talk en up in passing the great appro- priation bills. Between these two sessions somebody will be nomina- ted on the Republican ticket fo, the presidency and the election will occur before the short sessior begins. The president has avowed that he is not a candidate, and has said publicly that he would not ac- cept the nomination if rendered him. Then if he does not act. anc act at once. what does his promise avail? His promise cannot bind his successor. Our only regret about the matter is that the presi- lent does not assure us of his i'm mediate aid in the just cause of single statehood. If he will ust his great influence for single state hood to the same extent he used t to force jointure. both territories will be admitted at the coming ses- sion of Congress. Let us hope that he will do it and place on his brow the crown of righteousness and justice of which he SD often speaks md so much admires "-Tucsor Citizen.

Would Pass Laws Prohibit.
ing Treating and Social
Drinking

Editor OF the Leader: The question
OF prohibition being distressed gene
rally have been requested to give
my views on the subject | will be-
gin by saying that you can't inforce
any laws which legislates against a
mans appetite.
For over twenty years the govern
mcnt Of the United States have tried
to keep whiskey and all intoxicating
liquors out of the Indian Territory
and the Indian reservations in the
several states To-day you can see
more drunk men in the cities and
towns In Indian Territory and the
respective Indian reservations. than
in any city or town where there are
saloons running in full blast. Kan
sas, a prohibition state has more re-
tail liquor license per capita than
Missouri.
1st--In my judgement the best pro-
hibtion measure that can be passed
is to pass laws making high licenses
and heavy penalties for violation of
the laws as TO selling to minors, drunk
men. or keeping open after proper
hours Nas regulated by lawo
2nd--Pass laws requiring every
saloon keeper to own his business in
dependent of the breweries and
wholesale fiquor mon: prohibiting any
one from owning or running a saloon
who does not give the same his per
sonal attention at all times.
3rd.-Social drinking aud treating is
the cause OF more drunkenness than
any one thing For instance two
men 90 into a saloon for drink. one
pays for II. then third friend comes
in, he is iavited to partake after they
have drunk one says tin a social way
take one ON me) BY that time the
fourth man comes in; he is invited tC
drink which makes three drinks. Ther
the fourth man feels that to be socia
and not niggardly he must treat
Thus we have four drinks, (Which viii
make many men drunk) When If moi
allowed TO treat one drink only woult
be taken and no one drunk. The
fourth drink puts II beyond man,
men will to stop.
4th.-Pass laws prohibiting treat
