STATEHOOD FIRST

Graham county, during the lat ter half of the nineteenth century and the opening years of the twen- tieth. was believed to be impreg- nable against the politicalIen of Mark Smith. Nowhere else In the territory did he have such solid and unwavering following Graham county wanted statehood and 1t believed with many other sections of the territory that MT. Smith was the medium through which it was to be procured.
 Graham county, like the rest oi us. still wants statehood, but Ora ham county sees clearly now, as everybody else sees. that however earnest Mir. Smith may be, he is powerless to contribute to the ad- mission of Arizona; that as things now stand, through no fault of hia own, he is necessarily a stumbling block in the way to statehood.
 The magnificent reception which has been accorded MT. Cameron at Clifton and the adjoining towns is an expression of the changing sen timent there as well as everywhere else. It is not a sign that MT. Smith has lost any of hi. great personal popularity; that he has fewer friends than formerly, but that the people , are in no mood in this eritica
 period to beetow upon MT. Smltf

Widows and daughters of civil war veterans in New York who have been employed sewing rows of tape and five pointed stars O, the collars of the uniforms of the tackles of the navy, have made complaint that an economical navy department had cut their earnings in half The women, who received until a week ago, 10 cents for each collar they trimmed, now receive only 5 cents. and they say it is i'm possible for them to earn a liveli, hood at the reduced rate of pay.
 The order to reduce the pay ol the women came from Washington after the authorities tested a ma chine which it was found could sew the tape on the collars more quick. ly than two women. Tho cost o machine work. it was found also was about half of what the govern

EARLY CAMPAIGN FORECAST

A letter was received at this office yesterday from Dwight B. Heard, who Was then at Chicago, having inst arrived there from New York. Mir. Heard writes that he is glad to he able to state that the Taft cam paign in that part of the country is beginning to wake up. He expects to have the pleasure of hearing MT. Taft in his talk to railroad organi- zations on the subject of finjunctions.
 Mir. Heard enclosed an interest: ing political map which has been iseued by the New York Herald after the most careful inquiry in every nook and corner of the United States: The map is in colors. The democratic states are red, the re- publican blue, and the doubtful vel low. The map gives to the demo- crats Nevada and all of the solid south except Maryland. The doubt ful states are New York, Maryland,
 West Virginia, Indiana, Wiacon- sin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Ne
 hraska, Colorado. Montana and
 Utah. Tho republicans have all
 the rest of them.
 This arrangement gives Taft 2Oe
 reasonab bly, cure votes; Bryan 161
 reasonably sure votes; 116 doubt
 ful. As PAP are necessary to elect
 Taft must get 36 of the doubtfa
 votes and Bryan S1.
 The Herald gives another classi 6cation. "surpriss" states. Thes'
 are California, Georgia. Kentucky [ Missouri, Nevada. North Dakota Ohio, Oregon and Rhode Island , They are called "sarpriss" stste F because they have at one time o
 another been subject to violen f fluctuations in state elections o 0 because of known conditions exist Y ing in them at tho present time. j. Taking for instance. Ohio, tn } Herald points out that a stat II which one year gave Rooseve e 225. .OOO msjority and then the ne1 e year defeated Herrick, the republ n can candidate for governor, 52 OO lt will bear watching. The feud whio g. exists there, the Herald finds, mak' g. the situation still more intlrestin Il As to the rest of the surpri' is states, it seems to be the opinion D. the Herald that the republican n. will be best of them. Among tl
 doubtful states the Herald rath is inclines to democratic chances K Indiana for several reasons. u It principal among them being tl if late state administration and u l." present weak republican tick. he New York is regarded<as the pi ell otal state. No opinion is espresso

fore we can see beauty anywhere.
Hence there are many who are really

strewn everywhere. with most lavish
hand. in his works. So We must have
the music in our heart before We can
hear the music which sings every
where for him who has ears to hear.

will have no trouble in finding glad

Then a glad life makes life OF
gladness wherever 1t goes. II leaves

can do nothing better either for our
selves or for the world in which we
live than to learn the lesson OF praise
and of thanksgiving. Let us learn to

have disappointments but even these

unconquerable kindness. and it will
finally win. The most deep-seated ten
dency to sadness can be overcome and
replaced by happy cheerfulness. The
gospel of Christ comes to us and tells
us that we must be born again, born
from above. born Of God. and our very
nature will be recreated. Then d.

Silk will be very much worn now

wear. Nobody wants to rustic now:
We do not want to look starched or

be improved. We find rich. heavy

it may be because of its original quail

through divine help learn the lesson
of happiness and thanksgiving. The
secret of Christian JOY is the peace of
Christ in the heart. Then one is not
dependent upon circumstances or con-
ditions. St. Paul said he had learned
in whatsoever state he was therein to
be content. We know well that his
circumstances were not always con-
genial nor easy, but he sang songs In
his prison with as cheerful heart as
when he was enjoying the hospitality
OF a loving friend. There might be
hardships. sufferings. and want: but
in himself he had the peace OF Christ:

secret of contentment is the Chris.
