action toward calling together
the delegates elected last Novem-
Der for q constitutional conven-
ton when the question of join
ture of New Mexico and Arizona
was left to q vote Of the people
of the two territories. He is
arranging for a conference be-
tween Chairman H. o. Bursum
and A. A. Jones respectively of
the Republican and Democratic
territorial central committees
with a view to securing their
united action in favorof single
statehood. Messrs. Bursum and
Jones have both assured him they
will cooperate in working for
statehood but he is DESTROYS of
having them meet together and
talk over a method Of procedure.
When Governor Curry goes
east two weeks hence to attend
the Deep Waite: Ways cohven-
ton at Memphis, Tennessee, he
will breach the question of single
statehood with President Roose-
welt, who will be the principal
speaker on that occasion. Gov
ernor Curry stands close to the
president as everyone in the
territory knows and it goes with
out saying that if fervent prayers
will aid him in his mission New
Mexico's new executive will have
some pleasing news to bring back
when he returns to the Capital.
Since President Roosevelt has an
nounced that he would abide by
the voice of the people of the two
territories and no longer insist
upon joint statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona. it is believed
he will not oppose a proposition
now to have the territories adj
mitted rs separate states into the
Union. Discussing the statehood
question while at Trinidad, Colo

northeastern New Mexico, Cover
nor Curry is quoted as saying;
"All of the people of New Mex
leo are strongly in favor of single
statehood and will make a strenu-
Gus effort to have a bill admitting
New Mexico to the Union passed
at the next session Of Congress.
OF course we expect Colorado

Governor Curry's position on
the question Of statehood for New
Mexico is well known to the peo-
pile of the Sunshine Territory.
In his public and private utteran-

himself on record as champion
of single statehood for New Mex

A Mad Wave OF Crime

The wave al crime which at pres cnt
is sweeping over New York is said to
be almost unprecedented. both in the
number and atrocity OF the crimes
which have been committed in the last
SIX weeks. Backma |. followed by as
SassinatiOn. wholesale robbery and.
worst OF all. brutal and murderouS at
tackS upon women and children. are
the CHIEF features OF this carnival Of
crime The alarming sign about many
Of these crimes is that peculiar flood
OF degcneracy has been let loose and
that human brutes are terrorizng the
city and apparently rcvel ny in their
horrible success.
Criminologists say that there is al
ways more crime in the summer than
at other seasons. but this wave now
terrifying New York is abnormal in
all its phases, and surpaSSes the hor-
rors OF the famous Ripper crimes n
London even, by the selection of in
nocent little children as its chief vic
tins. The circumstances surrounding
the murder OF these poor little ones
are so shocking as to be almost in
credible n civilized community TEEN
ing with all the resources OF up-to-date
government So dseadful was the con-
dition of the last victim found that the
coroner forbade even the newspaper
men to look at the body or any photo
graphs to be taken of it.
The city is the more alarmed. as the
police seem l0werless to stem the
tide. The power of suggestion and
the apparent immunity from detection
and punishment granted by the help
lessness or il.efficiency OF the police
have undoubtedly caused the alarm
ing increase in these atrocities. Con-
fidence in the ultimate running down
and control OF this remarkable out
break of crime is not strengthened by
the fact that at the height of the wave
both the mayor and the head of the
police force have left the city on their
vacations.
No doubt, much OF the blame for
this frightful condition of affairs nes
with the police. The force has been
so stepped in politics and graft, that,
though the majority of its thousands
in rank and file are men willing and
anxious to do their duty, and though
many OF them on emergency have
proved themselves heroes, it seems at
present demoralized, only lately en-
crying from the throes of a shake
up with evidently no increase Of its
efficiency. The commissioner excuses
this helplessncss in coping with the
situation by saying that policemen are
not to be blamed for crime any more
than hrcmen are to be blamed for
fires But the fremen would be very
soon blamed were fires to break out
and ravage the city without check, as
crime S doing now.
The matter is Of vital Importance to
other cities, as these crimes OF an abb
normal and degenerate nature often
pass to other places, prompted by sug-
gestion, which generally is the real

time nor in any place allowed myself to
be at war with my brethren of other de-
nominations, for God never called me
to battle against or abuse the faith of
my brethren of other divisions of His
grand army, and the minister who does
it will wake up in eternity to find that
he has been playing losing game.
As minister of the Gospel 81 mag
nifty mine Office" 1t has brought me
into the companio lship of thousands of
the best of men and the purest of wo-
men, with whom l expect one day to
walk with Christ in white.
In these years my ministerial labors
have been a great blessing to my own
sonl, and although one of the least of

trust | have been the instrument in His
hands of helping hundreds of persons
into the experience of a better life. By
His grace and goodness He has enabled
me to see thousand souls happily saved
at the altar of prayer. They were
mostly from the ranks of the young
and of those of ter Ter years.
One of the greatest glories of my life
today is to preach the Gospel to a dying
world, and to do what lies in my power
for the overthrow of evil and the pro-
motion Of good.
We are now where the people begin
to call US old; we have passed the me-
ridian Of life and we are gradually
starting down the sunset side have
spent good many glorious days in the
service of God, and the Lord and have
good times together still. We do not
know how much of our time is yet be-
fore Us. We have but little care about
that, but we shall continue to live as
though we expected to live forever, and
to daily cling to the Cross of Christ as
though we may die tomorrow.
In God is all our trust, in Christ is all
our hope and to God be all the glory
forever. Amen.

by the commission, and every mayor of
every city, town and village of Mary
land will be invited. The dayis regard
ed and not only as Baltimore Day, but
as day of celebration for the whole
State Of Maryland. and all the southern
territory which is so peculiarly bound to
Baltimore by commercial relations.
That the Exposition will be in fine
shape by June Il is certain. An official
statement has been issued by President
st. George Tucker of the exposition
company, to that effect. The Baltimore
and Maryland buildings have both long
been completed, and the Baltimore
Building is model of beauty in design
and finish. 1t has fourteen finely finish
ed rooms, protected by compo board
over which exquisite design wall papers
have been placed. Every room is hand
somely furnished, and the big foyer
room, with its cheerful open CRATE and
genuine Maryland atmosphere, Is an
ideal place of comfort for social ming
ling. It will be the scenes of MANY
gathering of Baltimoreans and their
friends at the Exposition.
The programme for Maryland Day
has not been fully completed, but it will
include adequate arrangements for
music, and a semi-military feature will
be added by the land and water divisions
of the Maryland National Guard
Their will, Of course, be d list of
speeches, and the orators will include
men famous in this section of the south
land. The exposition management will
turn the fair over to Baltimore, liberal
ly, and every facility will be provided
for seeing everything in the best posi-
BILE way.
Transportation facilities from Balti-
more to the landing at jamestown, and
to Norfolk, Old Point, Newport News
and the surrounding points from which
the exposition can be reached by ferry,
will be adequate, Hundreds are ex-
pected to 20 TO Cape Charles and take
the ferry over, and many will come up
from Richmond to join their friends
from Baltimore All the local means
Of transportation will be used by those
living in the counties, both by rail and
water. The prospect now is that the
attendance of Marylanders not living in
Baltimore will be heavy, and while the
figures may be larger, the members of
the commission are hoping that there
will be not less than 10000 on the
grounds on June 27, who are attracted
directly by the int ,est in Baltimore
Day
To those who attend the exposition on
this day there will be keen interest in
the display of resources, ma Iral and
developed, in the Maryland section of
the States Building. Many Baltimore
firms are represent d as well as indus
tries outside of Baltimore.
The Baltimore-Jam Commission
is asking suggestions for a slogan for
the day, and hundreds of responses have
been received. The slogan viii proba-
bly, be used in the form Of ribbon stream
ers from buttons Of the State colors, to
be worn on the coat lapel. Both the
Travellers and Merchants and Ner-
chants and Manufacturers Associations
will send excursions, and all the other
community organizations are working
up local interest. The commission is
urging all who can do so to go a few
days before the date set aside for Balti-
more, in order to avoid the ash at the
last.
