What are the political cartoonists to do for subjects now? They can spend a few days trying to picture the feel ings of defeated candidates, but that will not last long and then they'll have to fall on some new scheme or device for their ready pencils.

THE STATEHOOD BILLS.

There are now three bills before congress for the admission of Arizona to statehood, the one introduced by Senator ForaBer, our old time cham pion, yesterday, one by Senator Flint, brought into the senate in the last session, and one by Delegate Smith, also introduced in the last session. In what respect, if at all, the bill pre- sented by Senator Foraker differs from Senator Flints bill, we. are yet to be informed. It may be presumed though that there can be no serious conflict between them for both gen tlemen are the proved friends of the territory.
 Gratifying as it is to learn that Arizona will again be the beneficiary of Senator Foraker's services, the last he may be able to render, equally gratifying are the expressions of hope by Governor Kibbey and Delegate Smith that a statehood bill will pass within the next two and half months.

VERY APPROPRIATE
 CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
Articles of Carved Leather Such as Are Found at Balke's Big Curio Store.

] When one comes to think of it, it is not after all such a hard thing to | choose a suitable Christmas gift. Now, for instance, there are dozens of ar ticles in Mexican carved leather at Balke's Big Curio store that would be greatly appreciated. This is the genu- inc carved leather, manufactured at SilaO. Mexico, and no where else so skillfully made. In Mexico as in many
 European countries the various indus tries are divided among various locali- ties where the same particular indus
 tries have been carried on for years,
 becoming in a sense, hereditary. Silao has for generations been the seat of the carved leather work of Mexico. When MT. Bake was there last sum mer he made a selection of the best work and now offers it to the patrons of the Big Curio store at attractive prices. The stock consists of pocket books, bill-books, coin purses, ladies hand bags, music rolls, belts. hat bands and many other things.
 There is nowhere else in Arizona where this particular kind of carved leather can be obtained. except at the Big Curio store. It should not be con founded with the ordinary carved or stamped leather that is so widely offer ed. Intending purchasers should see it and that would settle the carved leath- CT question.
 Another pleasing line of Mexican manufacture is the tortoise shell work in back combs. They are made on the west coast of Mexico the chief place of distribution being HermOsillo. These combs are all handsomely decorated, some of them being inlaid with gold. It is needless to say that these combs are hand made. A more appropriate gift could not be made to a lady.

WHAT MIR. DAY BELIEVES.

It will be interesting to know whether MT Justice Days construc- tion of his colleagues opinion yes terday sustaining the refusal of MT. Hartman to answer certain ques- tions by the interstate commerce commission is merely his own view of the effect of that opinion or is an amplification of it which the ma jority of the supreme court did not believe necessary for the disposition of the matter before it. If the latter, the commission is left with much less power than it was supposed to exer- else.
 duct investigations under the rate law was not denied by the attorneys for Mr. Hartman at the New York hearing. They contended only that the questions which their client re- fused to answer were improper in that they had no bearing on the mat ter before the commission and were not calculated to bring out informa- ton concerning the charges which had been made.
 It would therefore be surmised that the court would confine it's opinion to a view of the propriety or i'm propriety of the questions. It is not likely that the court went beyond that or laid down any doctrine af- fecting the commissions powers, but it is more likely that Mir Justice Day took the view that if these were not proper questions, none that the com mission could ask would be proper.

THE RECORD-HERALD'S
 DISCOVERY.

There will perhaps be a suspicion that the Chicago Record -Herald's an nouncement that Japan is going to stop Japanese emigration to this country, is disseminated at this time for the purpose of quieting the in sistent demands upon congress for additional exclusion legislation. This suspicion will not be lessened by the Record -Herald's further statement that this arrangement was a part of the lately promulgated understanding between the two countries with ref erence to the Pacific and to China. Before the terms of that understand ing were made public it was denied with some emphasis by the state de- partment that there had been any consideration of the matter of i'm migration: that such consideration was wholly unnecessary as the Japa- nese last spring had decided in ac- cordance with the wishes of this country to restrict emigration to the United States.
 Also before the understanding was admitted, Q Japanese paper at Hono- lulu had outlined its conditions and subsequent developments show that it was well informed. It made no men, tion of the immigration question nor was any made when the Japanese ambassador at Washington and the state department made public the terms of the agreement
 With the reassembling of congress there was an unexpected revival of the demand from the Pacific coast states for anti-Japanese legislation and this demand was supported by labor organizations in various parts of the country.
 In these circumstances it may be suspected that the Record Herald or somebody else is engaged in manu- featuring oil to be poured on the troubled waters.
