THE ARIZONA
STATEHOOD BILL.


The Phoenix Gazette has in some
way discovered. or. thinks 1t has. that
I the reason Arizona has been kept out
J of the union is because Delegate Max
Smith has never presented a bill with
provisions demanded by the repubii-
cans. Let US see about this. The re
Publican majority in the lower house
Of congress, which is supposed to be
nearest TO the sentiment OF the coun-
try. has twice passed bills for The ad.
mission of Arizona into the union as
presented by Delegate smith,
. Aside from donation TO be made by
the government to the new state about
all there has ever been to any state
hood bin was the authorization to
form a state government which shall
be republican in form.
The Gazette directs attention 10 the
fact that the bin introduced by Dele
gate Smith does not contain provis-
ions against poligimous marriages or
against selling liquor to Indians and
says that statehood bill can never
pass without these provisions. -..
We venture that neither of these
provisions can be, found in any of the
enabling acts in the past except in
the Utah and Oklahoma bills. In the
former the poligimcus clause was in
serted owing, to the fear that the
new state might be dominated by the
Mormon church. which up to that time
had countenanced poligamy. In Okla
homa the clause Was inserted because
of the large Indian population in the
Indian Territory part of it.
There e no more reason why con-
gress should insist on provisions in
the Arizona statehood enabling act
against plural marriages or against
selling whiskey to Indians than there
would be to include provisions against
murder, arson or any other form OF
felony. Under the present Arizona
laws, both poligamy and selling whis,
key to Indians are crimes. Is it to
he presumed that these laws would
be refused a place in the statutes OF
the new state any more than that
other laws against crime VIII be ex
.cluded?
The point sought to be made is ri
diculous and is beiittling the intelh
gence and competency of the people
of Arizona.
Arizona, when it goes into the an
ion, will be admitted under consti
conflict with the constitution of the
tuition republican IN form and not In
United States. After that the Iegisla
ture of the new state win enact Z
criminal code of laws and the Gazette
knows and every republican in Ari
iona knows, that poiigamy and sch
ing whiskey 70 Indians would be lef
a crime as they are today.
The search of the Gazette for ;
reason to offer as an excuse for tn'
republicans denying the right of self
government TO the people of Arizona
mas reached the limit of danfoolish
ness.

iBoUT ADVERTISING 4
The Hen and the
Doofknob
BY Herbert Kaufman

Once upon time there was fool
hen who sat on a china doorknob for
! three weeks expecting to geta family.
The only thing she did get was &C.
6ey1e1ce.
The advertising field is full of
china doorknob propositions" -ex-
amples of merchants who expect good
nesvspabe,s to hatch money out of bad
egg business, or who put sound nest
eggs under the svrong advertising
hen"
There are three principles to fol-
low in an advertising campaign:
First of all, find business that will
stand advertising; secondly, find the
nescspapsr that will make the adver-
Using pay; thirdly, give the news
paper time TO pay.
You can't start III TO breed dollars
in less time than it takes to hatch
them any more than you can pull
hen off the nest before she has had a
chance 10 incuhate In both cases
you simply caste what hes been in
vested. If you stop too soon you
will get a rotten egg instead of a
chicken.
Advertise something out of which
you may reasonably expect returns, =
and when you have found sohat to
ads'ertfse, take care that you place
your copy in newspaper that can
turn the trick. Don't delude yourself
with china doorknob, and don't
confuse rooster newspaper, which
spends its time cock a-loruming, for
a "hen newspaper" that is too busy
Matching out dollars to strut about
Growing.

There's DAYS when the hsh won't bite
It's either too calm or else too

It's either too warm ar its not

It's either too cloudy OF the suns
too bright:
The winds the wrong way. or the

It's either too wet or else It's too

Or for some other reason YOU
can't tell why,

There's days when the fish won't bite
You may try every lure. YOU may

You may grumble and swear.
but the fish don't care,
For there's days when the fish won't

But there's days when the fish will

When II amt too calm and It ain't

When II amt too warm, but just
