OPINION OF AUTHORITY
Eminent Correspondent Writes His o.
pinion on the Statehood Question to
the Louisville, kentucky, Post New
Mexico Greater Vote Than Eight of
the States, But other Qualifications
Not Considered Good.

Louis Ludlow, the Correspondent at
Washington of the Louisville, KY,
Post sent his paper the following arti-
Gle on statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona:
Washington, Dec. 14.-One of the
most important questions before Con
gress at this session is whether or not
two more States shall be created. The
movement for single statehood for Ari-
zone and New Mexico is looming up
in larger proportions than any one had
anticipated. The President has given
it additional impetus by his message
to Congress in which he advocated the
Immediate admission of Arizona and
New Mexico as separate States, his
reason being that the people of the
two territories have made it evident
they will not come in as one state
and the only alternative is to admit
them as two.

There is undoubtedly a strong feel
ing in Congress that it might be just
as well to have the statehood fight
over. The only way to permanently
get rid of the agitation is to admit
Arizona and New Mexico as separate
states, just as the President suggests.
As long as there are any territories
left on the American mainland or, to
speak more accurately, within the con-
fines of the United States proper,
there will be a perennial and fever
ish agitation for an extension of the
them in.
''Why not get rid of this agitation
and complete the union of States, as
nearly as it can be comp1eted?" is a
question which some Congressman
are propounding "Why not have it
over?" the statehood lobbies are ask
ing. This is an argument that appeals
to a good many members of both law
tired of the everlasting row over state
hood.
There is one feature of the state
hood campaign which is not helping
the cause very much. That is the
character of the lobbies that are here
at work for statehood. Some of the
well-known congressional lobbyists of
shady and slippery renown are push
ing the cause most yigorOuSFy They
are men who are never known to pro-
mote legislation unless they can get
something out of it. They are numer-
Gus and active and the energy they
are displaying leads to fair infer
ence that they have certain promises,
the fulfllment of which would not
rebound to the public good
/ On the other hand some of the very
best people in the two territories are
here trying to Interest Congress in
carrying out the Presidents recon-
mendations which, By the way. are

SHOULD A HORSE BE. CLIPPED
Clipping in the Early Spring is Recon-
mended by Leading Veterinarians.

A horse is valuable asset, and should
receive the best care possible. He should
be well fed, comfortably stabbed, care
fully groomed and CLIPPED in the early
spring. If he receives these attentions
he will work well and improve in value.
A horse lives under artificial condi-
tions. In his wild state he required none
of these attentions, for he was able to
look cut for himself. The domesticated
animal, being worked under conditions
that are in themselves artificial, must be
kept in condition for such work.
The clipping of a horse in early spring
is now conceded by all the leading We.
terinarians to he as essential to horses
we'll being as,shoeing him or giving him
comfortable bed to lie on. Farmers
in England and France have been clipp-
ing their horses for many years, and
American farmers are not slow to real
lie its advantages. A clipped horse
dries out rapidly after hard days work
and will rest comfortably and be refresh
ed for the work the following day. An
unclipped horse is liable to catch the
heaves, pneumonia and all sorts of colds
rheumatism, etc. More especially is this
so in the early spring, when his hair is
long and he is soft. If worked hard it
will pespire freely and the me isture will
be held bythis long hair, and the food
that should go to nourish him will be
used to replenish the heat that is being
constantly taken from his body by the
mass of cold wet hair. If clipped, the
per spiration will evaporate almost as
secreted, and when put in the staple, he
rests comfortably and his food does him
good.
Some years ago Buffalo street car
company tested the value of clipping in
the following manner: They owned 500
horses, and $50 of these were clipped
early in the spring and $50 were not
clipped.A careful secord was kept of re-
suits, and it was found that of the 25O
unclipped horses 1873 were afflicted with
coughs and pneumonia, while of the 25C
clipped not one case of sickness was re-
ported.
A man would not expect to enjoy very
good health if he did hard manual work
clothed with heavy underwear, "a heavy
suit and fur coat, and after perspiriuy
freely, as he naturallywould, go to sleep
without removing same. 1t is just as
ridiculous to expect horse to be in
perfect health il worked under the same
conditions.
If you would get the best returns from
your investment in your horse treat him
right, and be sure and clip him in the
early spring. Review.

Ammi OF this city, with whom he
has always lived, being unmarried.
