hibited and the Sunday closing rigor-

New Mexico deserves statehood.

WHAT A STRAW VOTE SHOWS.

The editor of Success recently sub mitted a set of current questions to 12,O0O life subscribers to that maga- zine, and received about 10000 an- swers. The opinions came from citi- zens of all ages and of many different walks of life, in every part of the United States, of all political parties. The questions were mailed January 25, and the answers received up to March l have been tabulated and pub lished
 The first question was. Should the government exercise a stronger control over corporations doing an in- terstate business?" The affirmative votes on this question amounted to 9,146 and the negative to 209. The second question, relating to the re- porting of interstate business to the government, vas answered in about the same way, the vote standing 9,101 ayes and PA noes.
 Do you believe that these reforms should be carried out, even if in do ing this there should be a risk of tenn porary unsettling business condi, tions?" This question was answered a;rmatively by 9.OO7 persons, and neg, atively by 219. The next question was whether the subscribers would support, the president and congress in carrying out corporation reforms, even if it meant personal sacrifice in the form of money panics and restric- tion of bank credits. The answer to this was in the affirmative by 9,1&7 to 175.
 The greatest difference in opinion was on the fifth question: Do you believe in the policy of permanently retaining the Philippine Islands, The ayes were 5,214. and the noes S,994.

A REMARkABLE
 BANK STATEMENT.

Commenting on the New York bank statement of week ago the New York Herald says:
 "In week which was marked by a considerable gold export shipment of $5.00O, 900 the bank statement yester- day made a very remarkable showing. Cash holdings under the old average system showed an increase of $10,- 334,S0o. and the result was not much changed by the report under the new system of giving actual conditions which showed the increase in lawful money to be s9,047.0oO. The surplus reserve reflected a gain of $9,011, 1925. and now sands at no less than s5s,- SEA, ,750 above the legal requirements, which has not been exceeded at this season in fourteen years. or since April, 1894. Banks and business men will not forever stand stupidly gazing at great accumulations of money. That they are already seeking means to employ idle funds and render them profitable is evidenced by awakening investment operations.

The democratic central committee met last Saturday at Solomonyille and appointed the delegates from Graham county to the territorial democratic convention. The delegates were instructed to present the name of Hon. W. T. Webb of that county as one of the delegates to the nation al democratic convention at Denver. Mir. Webb is deserving of this honor as he has always been one of the ac- tive democratic workers of the terri tory. He served twice in the legisla- ture and the second time was speak CT of that body. GrahPm county has always been a pillar of democratic strength in Arizona and will be en- titled to name one of the six dele gates to Denver.

 The seventh question asked the sub scriber whether he approved the poll cy of expending vas: sums far the de velopment of national resources. such as the Panama canal, improvement of waterways. irrigation of arid lands, etc. The affirmative votes were 9,O50 and the negative 2e6.
 Do you. on the whole. approve the administration of President Roose- velt?' was the eighth question. On this side the vote stood: Ayes S,64S; noes, 669. The writers did not state their political belief, and the editor remarks that he had no means of knowing the political affiliations of his subscribers.
 The ninth question was: Who would be your first and second choice for the presidency during the next four years?" The answers are tabu- lated as follows.

MORE TIME FOR A CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.

There is a suggestion that it would be well to advance the time for hold ing the territorial democratic conven- tion for the nomination of a candi date for congress in Arizona We think the suggestion is a timely one and hope that the democratic nominee for congress will not be named later than the middle of July. There was a time when practically all the voters of the territory could be reached by visiting one point in each county, but such is not the Condition now There are more voters ill Cochise county now than there were in the entire territory when Mark Smith was first the democratic candidate for congress. To make a thorough can vass of this county would require as much of the time of a candidate as would have been necessary to canvass the entire territory twenty years ago. Two years ago Smith could only spare speaking date for Bisbee -and Douglas, whereas he should have made speeches in at least half dog en towns in the county. Three months is not too much time for complete canvass in Arizona by a candidate for congress and it is due to the people of the territory that they have an op- porunits to hear the candidates and it is unjust to the candidate to give ouly time to shake hands with a few ef the srominent democrats in each county, In all the states it is the custom to make congressional nomi- nations before the beginning of the fall season and it Is time that nomi- nattops were made early enough for a comparative stranger, should ne get the favor of a democratic nomination, te ytit the voters of the territory and inform them of what he proposes ta ao if he is sent to Washington as our representative in congress- At the territorial convention, which will moe. ss Tucson on May 2S, the sub feet ef sn early date for, nominating the congressional candidate should be discussed.

An InterpoIatIcn,

The old-time revivalist often pos sessed a gift of gentle satire which stood him in good stead. At a Maine camp-meeting long ago young man made himself so obnoxious during a prayer that the old preacher rounded oil one of his sentences rather abrupt ly. Now, Lord" he then continued, without trace of irritation, we pray that Thou wilt in the mightiness of Thy power take that young man in the fourth seat and make his heart as fres from sin as his head is from sense."- Youths Companion.

The determination of President Roosevelt in pressing the legislative measures he has recommended during the present congress should be-im- pressive at least of his earnestness in the belief that he has recommend ed what is necessary for~the welfare of the country. The recommendation, to our mind, most important to the country is the question of battleships. It is hardly possible that the presi- dent would urge the immediate con st.-uction of four additional battle ships unless he thought there was real danger of their need Whether the president is of the opinion that there is danger of war with Japan or whether he sees a war cloud rising in another direction with some other country would not be proper for him to state in connection with his urgent request for more war equipment
 Whether there is impending war or not two additional battlesh!ps now would not swell our navy beyond req son. Should the two additional war vessels be denied and there shC1!C 2ztze urgent need for them h9@,.-- . they are provided the country would put the blame on congress.

We note that the Hon. T. E. Parish has been addressing the democratic league of Los Angeles. Tom Parish is one of the ablest democratic speak CTS and writers in the, west. He has lived for more than a quarter of a century in Arizona and fifteen years ago he was frequently heard pleading the cause of democracy and warning the people of the faIacies and dangers of the policies of the republicans. The alarm sounded in those days by the democrats has been proven to have been timely and today we find the re- publican leaders appropriating the doctrines of the democratic party as a means of holding the governmental power which is slipping away from them because of the conditions which have been allowed to grow up in this country under their fostering care of protected industries.

Louisville Courier-Journal: Being worth the price exacted, the headgear of 1908, which has a value that may be estimated by ascertaining the price of straw per bale, of ribbons and velvet and that sort of thing by the bolt, of dye vby the gallon and skIned labor by the day or week, should go far toward creating cordial relations between the husband and the milliners, and should incidentally increase the percentage of contented families and decrease divorce"

WELCOME THE FOREIGNER WITH A PLOUGH.

The foreigner WnO arrived ln tniS country the other day with nine child ren and a plough cannot ever be pres ident, but he can be a desirable citi- zen. His outfit indicates that he in tends to be.-zNew Haven Journal
 We agree most heartily with our esteemed contemporary. If at least three-fourths of the immigrants who come here from Europe would bring ploughs with them-or the ability and desire to hold ploughs-and move on into the fertile areas of the west and south, it would matter very little how many children they brought along with the plough. This country wants that kind of foreigners. It has quite too many of other kinds.
 Is 1t not possible for the depart ment of agriculture to accomplish a great work for the United States by making known the need of men with ploughs in the foerign lands from which our immigration is mostly drawn In this country there is much domain yet to be taken for homes where nine children and a plough would be about all that was neces- sary for starting a prosperous home which would be ample to divide among the children when they grew to the age where a home of their own was desirable. To our mind the government should emphasize the fact abroad that men with ploughs and children are especially desirable here. Arizona could accommodate thous- ands of them.
