E Last month Maine adopted the iIiti. ative and the referendum. The voters of that republican state, by amending their constitution, yitalized to use that sovereign authority which resides in the body of the people under any true system of popular government. At any time within ninety days after the legislature adourus 10000 Maine voters may, by petition, require the submission of any law passed by it to the judgment of the people. The same number may propose legislation, and the legislature must submit any legislation so proposed to the popular vote should it not see fit itself to enact the measure. Thus Maine last month joined the sisterhood of pro, gressiya American states. Next month North Dakota and Missouri will range themselves beside her.

Frank Murphy, head of the Santa Fe railroad in Arizona is out with a friendly letter to Ralph Cameron. We wonder that such letter should have been published after the republicans have made the plea through the ter ritory for sympathy fer Ralph Gamer on on the ground thas he had been Tn a death struggle with the Santa re railroad for years to save his property fro mbeing taken away from him by this hydra-headed corporation. MT. Murphy says that he believes that il Cameron is elected statehood will be granted Arizona at the next session of congress. MT. Murphy is risking nothing in making this statement be- cause he well knows that the state hood bill vii be passed next winter without regard to who is elected to congress from the territory. The pee ole of Arizona will hardly endorse the appearance of the santa Fe railroad in this campaign in an effort to bolster up the cause of Ralph Cameron.

FLUSH TIMES WHEN YAQUI
 DANGER IS ENDED
Attorney McReynoldS Looks For Big Forward Move
 ment In Sonora,


 The well known law firm of O'Con- nell & McReynolds has dissolved partnership and Mir McReynolds has removed to elegant and more spacious quarters over Rinehart's drug store. Mir. McReynolds makes a speciality of Mexican mining and corporation law. He has made a close study of the French code which is the basis of the Mexican code. which is really taken bodily from the French code.
 MT. McReynolds has abounding faith in the future of Bisbee and the great southwestern country of which it is the center.
 When once this Yaqui trouble is well in hand and the dangers which menace mining men who go into that country are minimized, I look for a wonderful forward movement" said Mir McReynolds last evening. The Mexican districts directly south of Bisbee. and of which this city is naturally the great supply point, are wonderfully rich in gold and silver. Present prices of copper tend to turn attention largely to gold and silver properties, and no region l know of promises so much by development as Sonora. The Yaqui trouble is the great obstacle in the way, but l look to see that difficulty overcome in a comparatively short time. Then we will see a period of flush times in this section remindful of the days when copper was selling around twenty cents"

FALSE ASSERTIONS ABOUT STATEHOOD.

ABOOt . II "A GHOOI.
 It will be remembered that the re- publican speakers who were in Doug las last Monday night laid great stress on the fact that Mark Smith had been asking for his election in tho past on the premise that he wcald secure statehood for Arizona. Mark Smith and Statehood'' and statehood and Mark Smith," Joe Morrison declared, had been the democratic campaign cry in this territory for years. Everyone who knows the political history of the territory knows that these statements are not true, says the International American.
 The republicans Fave raised the statehood issue every time it was ever raisez in Arizona The republl- cans have always started the state hood issue by making the assertion that it was necessary to send repup- lican to congress in crder to get any consideration for odi people at the hands of republican majority in that body. The democrats have claimed that the political affiiiation of the del egate from Arizona was not important so far as statehood Is concerned and events have proven that the demo crats have been correct, up to the present time.
 In the last congressional campaign in Arizona the issue was fight against joint stateno, and the demo crats maintained that 1t was neces- sary to send Mark Smith to the six ticth congress to prevent the consum- nation of that infamous attempt 10 join Arizona with New Mexico in one state. thus robbing the people of both territories Of their just representation in the national legislative halls Mark Smith was elected and joint state hood was defeated hy the solid demo cratic vote in the senate. aided by thirteen republicans of that body. IL was defeated by she passage of the Foraker amendment which gave the people of the territory the right to vote separately on the question or whether they would accept joint state hood with New Mexico or not.

Phoenix and assailsd his reputable brother, Robert E. Morrison, in a pub lie speech in Douglas, Monday even. ing last. made some astounding mis statements; many men would say he uttered unqualified falsehoods, and among the many was the statement that the board Of traae of Phoenix had secured the passage of the law giving Phoenix public building The board of trade of Phoenix had about as much to do with taat bill as had Joe Morrison, and would exercise proba- bly, about as much influence in it's passage were 1t on the ground as would Morrison. Mark Smith not only secured the passage of that measure but also upwards of 300 bills grant ing pensions to old soldiers in Arizo- ma The Cameron papers and speak CTS have also criticised Mark Smith
 or failing to pass the bill giving Phoenix the right to bond her floating debt, also another permitting the peo- pie to vote bonds to construct an ave, nue north from Phoenix. The truth of the matter is Mark Smith succeed ed in passing botl those measures through house and senate and when returned to Speaker Cannon's table be arbitrarily refused to allow either Y the bills mentioned to be called up, -lso some seventy-fye others in like condition Mir Morrison will learn by November 3rd next what valuation the people of Arizona place upon such statements as are made by him. The majority given Mark Smith will be the best answer to such silly asser- tions as he and his associates are in dulging in.

REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.

The Cameron orators and newspa- pers under the guidance of Governor Kibbey. have adopted as the party issue, Statehood for Arizona" and ask the people of this territory to vote for Ralph Cameron in order to se- cure this desired result.
 The national Republican, platform fer many years contained a plank pledging its party to the admission of Arizona and New MsXico and each fol. lowing session of congress bills have been introduced by the delegates from Arizona and New Mexico asking admission into the union. and at each session Of congress the party refused to carry out its pledges to the people of the territories.
 Following in the wake of the na- tional convention, the territorial Re, publican conventions would incoTpo- rate a plank for Arizona statehood, and like their leaders in congress, we find each and every federal official in Arizona shouting for statehood in public and doing his level best in Washington to prsvent the passage O! such bill
 The same condition prevails in Ari Zona today. There is probably rot q federal official in the territory today who is sincere in his advocacy of statehood We can only judge the present by the past. and this is ths record of the Arizona offiee-holders for the past fifteen years.
 Arizona Republicans have publicly advocated statehood, and stabbed it tc death through their friends and spon sors in Washington. And now, whe public sentiment throughout the na ton has cFystalized into demand that Arizona and New Mexico be ad ded to the galaxy of states, the nation al Republican party has bowed iis head in obedience to the public d." mand. But the office holders in Ari zona wear the same old official gar me,hs: the same old false alarm bat tie cry is being raised for Cameron fthat was utilized to deceive the voters in the Cooper campaign, ths Morrison campaign. the Fowler cam Eaign. and ir fact. in every campaigr in Arizona fer the last sixteen years but the peopls of Arizona will refuse to De buncoed.

two weeks later 1t dropped 10 Ssl.so4. and June 10 to s4s.994. For the two weeks ending June 2I the deci ease was 36.72O, which Is the largest de- crease noted save that of the last count. Other decreases in two-week periods varied from 2S.00o to sO,OOo.
 The shipments of crops east and north, and the shipment of manufact- ured goods south and west has ot eourse brought about the steady in crease of tonnage. But it is good and unfailing sign Of an improving commercial condition. Tn New Eng. land there are practically DO idle cars remaining, and in the group of states including New York. Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania the number Is sharply lessened. In the wheat and grain growing. region there is hardly an unused car. as IS true also of the coal mining sections. These things prove that while for the diminished numbs- of idle cars in some sections these are quite natural causes, as the marketing of grain which has been ripening and coai which must be burned in spite of IT. nancial depression. the disappearance of idle cars from the New England states and the group including New York, proves that an increased num- Der of cars are necessary for the gen eral uses Of commerce in lines not controlled by natural conditions and nece ssities.
 This employment of the idle freight cars in the conduct of the nations business is the frs: genuine revival of normal conditions we have had. There is no stimulation, no press work, no faked or holstered prosper ity in this. The country is swinging back into it's accustomed orbit regard less of those who would use prosperi- ty or depression as a political Club.
