SHOULD SUPPORT FORAKER

Delegate Mark Smith spent Christmas week in Washington He was seen recently and asked for some expression regarding statehood at this session.
 It is evident that Smith is not expecting any kind of statehood at this session, but is hoping against great odds and is preparing the bill for the admission of Arizona to statehood which will be intro duced just as soon as congress as- sembles after the holidays.
 Asked about the presidents declaration agaist a third term, MT. Smith said, "The presidents reiteration of his purpose not to run and his assertion that he will not take the nomination if it is rendered him, does him credit, but does not clear the presidential weather much. Our republican friends appear to be at sea, with something of gale blowing, with the compass varying and the rud- der loose.
 "Our republican friends in Ari- zona. in their effort to secure an in- structed delegation to Chicago for Roosevelt, succeeded in having the national republican committee cut down by territorial representation in their next convention to two delegates from each. That shows what folly can bring on the heads of unoffending people, and shows further how little regard the grand old party pays to the hopes, aspira- tions and rights of the people in the territories. The democratic national committee met here and accorded each territory six dele gates to the national democratic convention 10 be held in Denver July 7 next. am pained to see the republican party cut down in its territorial representation, for ii weakens the territories in the effort they will make to have single statehood plank put in the repub- lican national platform. Six un- instructed delegates from each of our territories could have forced such a promise, in a convention where the choice of candidate for president will be so hotly contested.
 "Foraker has and deserves tho affection of Arizona. Cannon is our enemy. Nobody knows where Hughes or Cortelyou stands on tht statehood question and the national committee has taken two thirds of our strength out of the convention
 Congress will not get down t. actual work before January, for il is not yet organized for business and the purpose of the powers that he is to go slow and do nothing. and the minority are helpless un- der the present rules of the house.. Democrat.

ARIZONA IN POLITICS

There are four states in the union with a smaller population than New Mexico now has. There is no reason or justice in depriving these hundreds of thousands of Ameri- cans of the rights of citizenship To continue to bar New Mexico and Arizona from statehood is to perpetuate the wrong of half a century. New Mexico is loyal in support of the union, and has ever been. It was in New Mexico that the tide of the confederacy was turned back from the west, and New Mexico sent more men into the war with Spain in proportion to population than any other com monwealth.
 In one year New Mexico has es- tablished so new postoffices, and the territory has 70 banks. There is one county which had 500 peo- pie at the last census, and now has 25,OOO. More than 10000 original homestead entries have been made in New Mexico within less than two years, and the increase of population in that time is estima ted at 100000.
 If opposition to the admission oi Arizona and New Mexico be based on political grounds, we say it is mighty bad politics for the domi- nant party to keep the two terri tories out of the union: it mi ght. and probably would, control botl of them in presidential and con- gressional elections.
 If opposition. be based on con- alterations of statesmanship, The Herald maintains that 1t is the statesmanship of inclusion. not the statesmanship of exclusion. that has made this country great and strong and prosperous. Not wealth, not alone population, has ruled in allotting shares in the national syndicate of states, but rather the broader considerations of natural resources, usable area, and capacity of development. The power of the west in the senate has saved the west from perpetual and ruinous neglect.
 If opposition be based on eastern selGshness, lust of gain, and vii lingness to seem to share with the new states the accumulated busi ness power of the old. then the Herald declares that the supremest selfshness would dictate that the east hasten to admit the territories for the east needs the vast oppor- tunities of colinization, develop ment and investment that the ter. ritories offer.
 Through the immediate sdmis- sion of the two territories, no state community or individual in tht union would loose anything of value, and just power or privilege. any fairly gained and fairly main tained influences, while every state and every community and every individual in the union would gain in material wealth through posses sing share in an increased nation al heritage; would gain in power through achieving better balance of notion in the parts of the ma chine of American advancement: would gain in self respect through the removal. of disa hilities unjust lv imposed on 100000 fellow citi. zens.-El Paso Herald.

SAN XAVIER MISSION

Recently the resolution passed jointly by the two houses of the Arizona legislature at the last ses- sion were presented to the lower house of congress by Speaker Can non. This resolution asks congress to appropriate a considerable sum of money to be used in the work of preserving old San Xavier mis- sion, nine miles from Turs"n.
 The San Xavier mi-s,n is the oldest church in Arizona; in fact. it is one of the most ahci+nt in America. A story of the past, full of interest to Arizona and her pto- pie is held in every square foot of this old building, and if it is al- lowed to fall into ruins owing to the lack of money it would be con- sidered calamity to Tucson, and in fact, to all the territory of Ari- zona.
 The territory is proud, and just ly SO, of San Xavier mission. Traditions and stories of the ancient past are found in every nook and corner of the old building. It is one of the principal places of in- terest to strangers in the entire west.
 The fact was called to the atten- tion of the last legislature that considerable sum of money must be appropriated for the preserva- tion of the mission or it would soon he in ruins. The proposition was brought up by members of the Pima county delegation, and the call met with instant and hearty approval from all sides. A joint resolution was introduced and rap- idly rushed through both bodies. A joint resolution needs the sigma ture of the governor. the same as law. and to his credit it can be said that the one asking congress to appropriate funds for the preser- vation of Arizona's historical build ing received the signature of Gov. Kibbey the minute it reached his office. The exact amount that congress will appropriate is not known. but it is an assured fact that they will answer this call, coming as it does, from the far west, to save one of the country's most important historical build ings by laying aside goodly sum for the old San Xavier mission.

RUBBER GARMENTS
FOR REDUCING FLESH.

There are new rubber garments for
reducing ones flesh. Perhaps the sci
ence on which this is based may be
dated back to the time when the in
yentor held in his hand a good thick
stick of molasses candy and had the
warmth of his hand slowly but surely
melt the candy. The principle is the
same, for these new rubber coats are
made to literally roast off the flesh. 1t
is fashions latest decree, but is not
warranted not to be uncomfortable.
Whether this melting process is what
women will adopt remains to be seer
There are fools in the world who still
have a belief that the little waist is
a mark of beauty. Only a few days
ago a young woman wrote to a news
paper woman asking her how to re-
luce an eighteen-inch waist to sixteen.
She admitted sleeping in tight corsets
to get the desired result, but had Eeen
unsuccessful. Tortures, torments and
everything miserable-but the chances
are she would like one of the comfy
rubber coats.

PoMPoN POPULARITY.

One of the sensations of the moment
as regards millinery is the return of
the pompon. quito one of the most
popular innovations being mammoth
cannon BALI pompons of fluffy mar
about or feather trimming, from which
spring a brush" cluster of stiff mock
ospreys.
Pompons are. in fact. resuming their
place in the affections of the Parisienne,
and are dyed all colors, as well as being
apparently fashioned of every descrip-
ton of plumage, the size in some cases
being exaggerated in the extreme.
In not a few instances, however, their
place is taken by fur balls, which are
introduced in the hats to match the
fur coats and muffs, and provide the
only trimming, while pompons formed
entirely of the curled petals of the Jap
anese chrysanthemums have taken the
place of the flowers themselves, the
petals being dyed In every imaginable
tint. including the dark iridescent tones
OF the coque's plumage.

Whats the use of having a doll If
] can't play with it?" walled a little
girl with a burst of tears recently, as
her mother took a large waxen beauty
from her careful little hands and placed
it out of her reach.
THAT doll is entirely too handsome
for you to play with" said the mother;
you have plenty of other toys, and
can get along without It,"
Then please put it where l can't see
it." sobbedH the child. II don't want it
to even belong to me if I can't even
touch it,, and she walled anew.
1t is not right to give toys to chill
dren and then restrict their enjoyment
of them.
Think how much that doll meant to
the little grill Why, she began to love
it the minute she was told that it was
hers. And then to be told that she
must only admire it from a distancei
Young as she was, she knew, as you

thing and cannot have it it is best to
place tina thing out of ones sight and

ENTRANCE TESTS

President of Smith College Also De-
clares They Deter Marriage by De-

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Jan. TO-
That severe entrance examinations pre-
vent many poor girls from obtaining
a college education n deter mar
rage is the statement contained in
the annual report of President L.
Clark seeley. Of Smith College. In
part the president says.
"As most of the able men come from
the poorer classes, it would be both
a public and a private calamity II it
should become harder for poor boys
and girls of ability to gain the mental
culture they desire.
TT would be a still greater loss if.
by postponing the time of %gradua-
ton, family life should be impaired.
'The longer marriage is delayed the
less likely men are to marry. a col
lege education should not contribute
TO the modern tendency to celibacy.
An Inferior quality of scholarship is
produced where the pupil is hurried
over SO much ground that one study
soon ob~literates the impression made
by another. Physicians complain that
entrance requirements seriously in
t%erfere with normal physical develop
ment. Not enough time is left for
rest and outdoor exercise"

RICH WOMEN DISAPPR0VE
OF WILL CONTEST.
Some of Burlington Flock Stirred Up
Against Rector and vestry-suit
Means Loss of $4,000.

BURLINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Rev.
James F. Olmstead and yestry of st.
Mary's Episcopal Church are being crit
icised by a number Of the members
for their move in trying to break the
will of Mrs. Elizabeth S. Ellis, alleging
undue influence, n that she was men,
tally unsound when she destroyed a
former will giving $1,000 to the church.
Surrogate Lippincott, of Mt. Holly,
refuses to disclose the contents of the
petition filed in the name of the church.
1t is said to contain some startling
charges.
Charles e. Allen, of Philadelphia, a
nephew of Mrs. Ellis. who is not a
beneficiary, was indignant.
For st. Mary's Church to saw that
Mrs. Ellis lacked testamentary capacity
or was subject to undue influence in the
making of her last will is Infamous"
he said. Il saw my aunt frequently.
and as late as October, 1907, and at no
time during the last twelve years. to NV
positive knowledge, was she unable TO
make a disposition of her property as
she saw tit. The other members of NV
family regard this suit as preposter-
Gus.
Il am not interested in this estate
under any will, but l think ii Is due
my aunt, who to my positive knowledge
was a heavy contributor to st. Marv's
Church, and far beyond her actual
financial ability, that her last will
should be treated with some semblance
of decency, particularly by a benef-
ciary, who had no right to expect any
thing"
Several wealthy women talk of re-
signing from the church. The pastor.
who began he suit on the advice of his
lawyer, Bayard Stockton, of Trenton.
VIII not discuss this subject.
The church, under the will, stands to
lose the $4,000 given it by i%nstituting
this contest.

SUCCESS.
Mrs. Brown, of Ray Palmer, Suggests
Amalgamated Club-0ther
Features.

Mrs. William Fl. Brown. president of
the Ray Palmer Club. sounded a note for
a city federation of women's clubs when
she greeted the club women and their
guests at the union musicale given in Wal
lace Hall yesterday afternoon.
Following the program there was a re-
ception of the federation officers and club
presidents, and after asking all to par
tlcipate Mrs. Brown said: W have given
you what we think is a delightful after
noon, and the club members something
to think about as to what we might do
if we were a great, big amalgamated
club"
Mrs. Browns club is not in favor of
city federation, but she declared after
ward that in her opinion many of the
conservative ones would in time see the
good of a-malgamation.
The musicale was a splendid success
from every viewpoint. All of the clubs
were largely represented and many OF the
members brought friends, the assembly tax
ing the capacity Of Wallace Hall. Every
seat was occupied and the gathering had
much of the appearance of an annual fed

pennies and nickels, and dropped them

amount on the outside.

I kept putting off saving my money. |

out, and when vacation time came I
was shocked to find I had only enough
money to last me for a week at a little
farm house up in the country, instead
of the good time I dreamed of in Maine
with the rest of the girls. Why, I had
to deny myself lots of things 1 would
like to have had. but l had TO do with
out them, as I had no money. I'll
never do it again-no never"
/ think this girls idea of saving a
little each week is just splendid. A. lit
tie slipped into the vacation envelope
from time to time will surely be
wonderfully helpful when the summer
holidays come around.
1t may seem farfetehed to talk about

Too Grown-up.

When that little girls mother grew
up she left her childhood behind her.
else she would never have treated her
little. girl so. Not that she meant to
be meant am quite sure she had no
idea that she was-but just because she
could not see the matter from a child's
standpoint.
To her the doll was a lovely. little
puppet, whose beauty was not to be
married by childish handling. She could
not realize that to the child it was a
"make-belieye-real child" to be loved
and cuddled and talked to; whose hair
was to be braided and curled and oc-
casionally knotted on top of her head,
and whose clothes were to be changed
and buttoned and unbuttoned like real
children's always are.
If she had taken just a little bit of
her child-self into her womanhood she
would have understood all these
things, and her little girl would have
been the happier and the closer to her.
