Marriage Of Widows in India.

We are glad to note the number OF
widow marriages increasing every
year. Following on the heels of one
in high life in Calcutta, there have
been lately three such marriages in
different parts of the country. This is
a noteworthy record, which should
cause the social reformer to take heart
for the ultimate success of his work.
The agitation that has been kept up
for years by the social conference
has been successful. if only in i'm
pressing all classes of the Hindu COM
munity with the necessity of widow
marriage. 1t is. however, well known
that those who still take exception to
1t and offer sentimental objections
have no widowed daughters at home.
and consequently have no means 10

STATEHOOD CERTAIN
AT THE NEXT SESSION
That is the Belief of Mark Smith Who
Was in Phoenix Yesterday.

Hon. NJ. A. Smith arrived from the
north yesterday morning on his way
to Tucson, his home. He has not
been there since the middle of last
November, when he left to take his
seat in the opening session of con-
gress. He is Immediately returning
from a fishing trip on Oak Greek in
company with Judge Sloan and other
expert fishermen who meet annually
at Oak Creek about this time of year.
The trout, said Mr., Smith, were in
better form this year than ever before.
1t was feared year ago that the
glory Of Oak Creek as a rendezvous
for trout had departed. The fish
seemed to have been washed away by
mountain torrents. They have how
ever found their way back and brought
their relatives with them.
Mr.. Smith has been suffering for
fthe last three months of a rheumatic
trouble from which he has been I'M
able to obtain relief and he will prob
ably be driven to a short residence
, at Aqua Caliente. However. he will
remain in the territory until after the
close of the coming campaign.
Speaking of statehood he believed
that bill would pass at the next ses-
sion of congress. No attempt will
probably be made to bring the matter
up at the short session of the present
congress. He said that much of the
opposition to statehood for Arizona is
dying out in the east and he does not
believe that vigorous opposition will
be offered to the next bill for the ad-
mission of the remaining territories.
Mr.. Smith is hopeful of the election
of Bryan to the presidency. He be-
lieves that Bryan is stronger now than
ever before. Assuming that Taft will
be nominated, he said that he would
encounter vigorous opposition in his
own party in several of the republic
can and doubtful states and that the
antipathy of the labor element to him
cannot be overcome.
However. Mr.. Smith is not sure that
Bryan would win the solid labor vote

Of the labor vote will naturally be cast

A STATEMENT FROM ANOTHER
OLD TIMER.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Sir-I read in this mornings paper
the statement of Mrs. ]. d. Monihon
and an alleged statement from Col.
c. II. Gray affecting Arizona weather
for the month of June. While l do
not desire to enter into a controversy
with the estimable lady, nor to cast
doubt on the statement of the de-
parted Colonel, 1 do desire to make
a statement as to the actual facts in
the case
Referring to the string beans and
other vegetables, the attention of the
public is called to the fact that most
all vegetables, especially string beans,
mature in this section during the lat
ter part of May, and earlier. On
June 2Sth of any year the string
bean crop is entirely harvested. to-
gether with all vegetables subject to
the ravages of frost.
The writer has been a resident of
this valley thirty years and is pre-
pared to state that the present June
weather is the coolest on record dur
ing that period If Mrs. Monihon will
reflect a moment and allow her men,
ory to revert % years she will re-
MEMBER tndI Ine COlu snap occurring
that year, or perhaps in 1880, took
place during April. about the 18th,
and was accompanied with a light
frost, sufficient, however, to kill the
growing grain in the section along
the river and south of the Yuma
road. The farmers in that section
of the valley found it necessary to
cut their grain fields for hay. 1 be-
lieve that F. c. Norris, Mason No
vinger and many other farmers of
the district mentioned will bear me
out in this statement
As for the alleged statement of
Col. Gray. that the Mexican laDorers
took to the camp fire during cold
wave in June, let me state that this
condition will arise almost any sum-
mer day when such laborers are per-
spring under our Arizona skies, and
there comes a heavy wind from the
north, accompanied by rain.

RETURNED PRODIGAl
SIZtS UP ARIZONA
Capt. A. F. Banta Again on the Old
Range and Sends in Cheerful Re-
port.

Captain a. f. Banta who came to
this country before Arizona did, was
here when a party of official carpet
baggers came out from the United
States and brought the territorial gov
eminent with them, has been heard
from again. About a year ago he left
Phoenix for New Orleans, sailed to
Panama, roamed over that infant re-
public several months. worked his
way back to New York, remained
awhile in the metropolis rubber
necking at the twentieth century and
the institutions, then turned his face
west again. He lit in Colorado in
the vicinity of Durango, where he
hibernated until he got back the old
Rocky Mountain spirit, then sought
the sun-kissed land of yore and de-
trained at Holbrook From that
northern and eastern territorial gate
follows, in part:
The prodigal has returned to Gods
country. after a year of rambling in
equatorial lands, and is glad to be
again upon his old range in the sun
kissed land of Arizona 1 find things
here at the eastern door of our ter
ritOry about the same as they were
a year ago. OF course, the sheep men
are not quite so jubilant, owing to
the temporary depression of the wool
market, yet they are in no wise de-
spondent nor cast down, but are SAN
guine in the belief that wool and NUT
ton will take an upward move within
the next sixty days.
A telegram received here this
morning from Kansas City brings the
pleasing intelligence to our cattlemen
that S19.22 is offered for our bulls and
common range stock in the Holbrook
yards. That figure per head, con-
sidering the class of stock, is deemed
a good price by those who have a
surplus of that kind of stock, and
they are now preparing to round up
and ship at once to the Kansas City
market.
Many of the sheep men made a
great mistake last fall in not dispos-
ing of their lambs at the offered price
of 1925 and 81, and now they have
the lambs on hand and cannot dis
pose of them at 81. 1t is hoped the
cattlemen will profit by this lesson.
THE unusually cold weather this
spring, along with the extraordinary
windstorms. have about destroyed all
fruit, and have also done material
damage to the grain prospects
throughout this section. Nevertheless,
the farmers, by replanting and other
wise, hope to have moderate crops;
at any rate, enough to tide them over
until next year All in all, l find
this part of Arizona fairly prosper
ouS with no talk of DanicS or hard
times.
Politics, either county or territor-
ial, are little talked of just now, but
no doubt will take on more life later.
While at Gallup l learned the
Navajos had 100000 sheep dipped
under supervision of the government,
but the officials did not get all the
sheep on the reserve, and the best

formation is that there are fully l.
100000 sheep among the Navajos, be-
side many thousands of horses and
cattle. l find the Navajos a frugal
and Industrious people, and many are
engaged in farming under the late
allotment act of congress. They are

A Confession by Lincoln steffen.

Lincoln Steffens publishes AN Apol-

of temptations that confront poll

give and take brides. 1t is wonderful
in its liberation and its breadth of
sympathy.
At the beginning of the article Mr.
Steffens makes a remarkable confess
sion Coming, as it does, from the
man who has done more than any
other to expose graft, it is a signifi-
cant statement Mr.. Steffens says:
Sympathy and understanding are
the need of the hour. We Ameri-
