AFRAID OF STATEHOOD ISSUE.

We are not surprised to see the Ga zette of Phoenix vince whenever the question of statehood is mentioned in connection with the campaign this year. The republican party Is in no condition to stand before the people of Arizona and defend the action of their national party in trying to force joint statehood on the people of Ari- zona and New Mexico as they did on the people of Oklahoma and Indian Territory The Gazette has been for years contending that the people of Arizona should vote for republican delegate in order to insure the pass age of the statehood bill. Had the people of the territory needed the ad- vice of the Gazette in the past Ari- zona would today be absent from the map of the United States. New Mexi- co had republican in congress when Roosevelt raised his joint statehood stick and although he had been elect ed on aN platform opposed to joint statehood. MT. Andrews went down before the strenuous one and when he arose he was perfectly willing to ac- cept jolnture. It remained for Mark Smith to fight alone against joint statehood in congress and he did so with such force as to attract the ad- miration of the whole country. Dur ing the ffty-ninth congress on the final debate in the house on the joint ure bill, Mir. Smith gave to Cannon, Roosevelt and Beveridge such a cas- tigation as had hardly ever been equaIled. He succeeded in puncturing the hide of Uncle Joe" to such an ex- tent as to cause the speaker to take the floor and undertake to set himself and the administration right before the country. Arizona would have been a separate state years ago had it not been for the opposition of the re- publican party; if the territory is not admitted at the next session of con gress it will be because of this repub- licaa opposition.
 We would not detract from any re- publican in Arizona any credit due for earnest work in helping to kill the joint statehood bill, but we desire to impress upon republicans and demo crats alike in Arizona the fact that the national republican party has been responsible for keeping this territory away from its just right to self-gov- i ernment and that because of this 1t is not a party deserving of any consid, eration at the hands of the patriotic citizens of this territory.
 We are not surprised that the Ga zette is anxious to avoid the question of statehood as an issue in the coming campaign.

4whAT's THE MATTER WITH KANsAs7"


 A correspondent writing from Kan sas City to the New York Sun has this to say about the uncertaintie: which are ever present in the Sun flower state:
 Bora of turbulence and strife, rest less and tumultuous with discomfort swayed and bent like a reed to every passing breeze, inhabited by men whose nerves are strung like a harr and responsive to every demagogic ap peal, jealous and envious of any citi zen who rises above mediocrity, she is ever ready to strike down her best citizens to satisfy the rawlings of the populistic sentiment that now thrills her being.
 "The same clamorous and violent af' fiction that impelled her to trade of the most brilliant man in her history for a set of whiskers has again hum. bled and rolled into the dust her most able statesman. Mir. William Allen White says the personal character of Senator Long is clean and that he went down to defeat with clean hands.  MT. White; I6w~so magnanimous, can, not thus acquit himself of making charges of different tenor by innueado and inference in the articles he pub. lished during the campaign. Mir, White knows the Kansan characteris- ties. he strikes the harp whose strings respond to his touch. Nothing against the man who represented Kansas and served the nation so well in the sen ate. except that he no longer repre-, sents Kansas
 MT. Bristow is no doubt good man -abler than Peffer when he went in on a wave of emotions that periodical Iy sweeps across Kansas. But let not Mr. Bristow cherish any hopes or long ings for a continuance in office or the realization of his ambitions; no man accompIishes that in Kansas. The Mary Ellen Leases, the Jerry SiuP sons. and William Allen Whites will at some time in his career whiie-he is at Washington manufacture a senti ment and condition in Kansas that will make him an alien when he returns home. He will find that he no long CT represents Kansas Some time il his career. if he attempts anythin: sane or conservative, a phantom O terrible mien and gigantic proportions bearing the inscription Wall stree and the Money Devils will have beer raised up in the midst of the shak! and trembling multitude; the hysteri cal populace, animated by a wild ant woolly impulse, like that which seize 8 herd of cattle and sends them on stampede, will impeI the voters in CT

The general opinicn of mining men coming up from the vicinity of Naco- zari is that the appearance Of a small band of Yaquis in that section last week is no reason for general alarm, but some caution should be exercised for a few days in the small camps.

THE STORY OF
 A RUG Pa Selected IL with He Uouol
 Good Tasto

Pa coughed as if he had something on his mind and he did his best to look benevolent.
 'I-er-bought rug today" hs said
 "A rug?' cried ma.
 "A rug?" cried Bee.
 "A rug" cried the rest of the fam fly, and Shep, the family dog, looking as handsome as picture. took advan- tage of the excitement by barking loudly and tossing one of pas slip pers in the air, pretending it was naughty sheep. Shep had a new rib bon and he had been giving himself airs all day.
 (Ma, l ought to say, is an authority on old china, Bee is studying sculp- ture, and the rest of the family hopes to be a poet some day. Pa is very stout and he has any number of chins).
 Yes" said pa; "a friend of mine who is in the trade gets them very cheap, and l arranged that he should buy one for me and ship it by express. A six by three. my love"
 Just the size for the parlor, my dears," said ma. We need a new rug for the hearth, and unless l am mistaken here Is the expressman now"
 She went into the parlor and made a place for the rug, while pa carried it in and untied it. It had a green fringe and border which shaded into a tan. Inside this was blue and inside the blue was an olive streaked with orange. Large heads of cabbage dot ted the design wherever there was room for them, these vegetables being portrayed In pink and yellow. while a flash of green with red spots breaking out all over 1t composed the center.
 Now, the beauty of these rugs is this said pa. beaming at us. When one side is worn out you can turn them over and the other side is just the same"

Caves of a Cannibal Race.

Strange evidences of cannibalism have been brought to light with the recent opening up of caves at One Tree Hill, Maungalliekie, New South Wales, and another link has been added to the chain of interest en. circling this celebrated spot.
 In one cave great piles of human bones have been discovered. mixed ur indiscriminately and thrown down in one huge conical heap. These bones belonged to victims taken by the Maoris in battle and slaughtered for culinary purposes. Then they were dropped down the funne-shaped mouth Of the cave into darkness and oblivion.

Initiating His Elders.

Young folks are quick to pattern after their elders, bad habits as well as good. A little Rochester boy was sent on an errand by his mother to the grocery store. and when he came pack he was contentedly eating a ba. mana. Where did you get your ba. nana?' asked his mother. Bought It, he replied, quietly. But I rave you no money to buy one" she ob- jected "Oh. we'll" he said nonch.. iantly. T told Mir. Brown to let mo nave two, and l would drop in and pay for them next week" That was beginning the credit system at an early age.

A DISCREDIT TO THE SOUTH.

Southern congressman are not behaving in way to make their country proud of them Senat <, Jeff Davis first called attention to himself by a speech on the floor of the senate attacking President Roosevelt in violent coarse and abusive language that marked him as a low and illbred person. with whom the real gen tIemen of the senate of what ever party or geographical dis tfict, would hardly care to asso- cIate. He is again in the lime light as participant in dis graceful street fight at his home III Little Rock, where he t,,,.. ed a revolver and behaved pe,- orally like a rowdy and a ruff ian.
 A local magistrate, not damn tea py the office held by Nr Davis. fined himS25 for distu.h ing the peace ana carryinp con- cealed weapons.
 The Southern States bave many honorable and worthy ro presentatives in Senate ana HouSe' but so frequently do the people down there elect to these hlgh offices men of the fire-ea ter type-lll-bred, noisy persons. who at once take the center of the stage-that the better clas, of congressman from that repion are oVershadowed and tho no tire South discredited The sooner the Tillmans, the Davises the Bealls the Heflins and their like are retired to private life the better it will be ro, the South in every sense.

hind a door and pa sat and admired it while ma and Bee shuddered to themselves. Pa is very touchy Tn anything reflecting upon his taste, and he seemed to think that his choice or this rug assured his reputation for all time.
 And the beauty of these rugs, said he, lis that they last practically for ever"
 The next day we put it up in the spare room and pacified pa (who missed it the moment he got home) by telling him that it was too good for any dinng-room. This mollihed him. but the next morning he got a letter from Aunt Jane saying she was coming to spend a few days. Ma ran upstairs. and when she came down she avoided Bees eye. Bee ran upstairs, and when she came down she avoided my eye 1 wasn't going to have 1t, so I ran upstairs and put 1t in mas room. When I came down ma looked at me and sighed and fetched it down into 
 thoughtfully. The groceryman knocked on the back door, and ma hastily threw the rug down into the cellar. Shep ran after it, thinking it might be sheep to mind, but as soon as he saw what it was he cried to be let up again and scratched the cellar door until the whole house rattled.
 Perhaps" said Bee, If you hung it out on the line some one might steal it."
 Hang that out on the line?" cried ma 'I would die flrst!"
 And added:
 'Besides-no one would steal it."
 She looked collectively at Shep.
 Leave it to me, my dears," she said at last 'I think have a plan"
 And as soon as pa had eaten his dinner that night, an extra special feast, she unfolded her plan.
 Pa" she said, that dog of ours gets to know so much that sometimes am almost afraid of him. When you picked him out as puppy I must con fess that had my doubts about your choice, but, as a matter of fact, he Is most wonderful dog! Most wonder full! Now, what I've been thinking is this: Here's winter coming on with its cold, bliZZardy weather, and that old pet hasn't thing on the floor of his coop. We've never made him a pres. ent yet, but he's such an extraor- dinary dog that don't you think we might as family, let him have our new rug? He would appreciate it so much! The pet. Look at him. pal Isn't he a picture?"
 Do you think it would fit?" asked pa, doubtfully.
 Bee snatched the rug and ma ran out 1t once. with Shep in glad pur- suit. They staid out so long that pa began to wonder
 Whats the matter?" he called.
 'He won't go in!" cried ma.
 He swears and growls!" cried Bee. Make him go in" commanded pa. A vague form fitted through the gloom, paused for moment, but reso- lutely turned and disappeared down the street
 Hes run away" they cried in a chorus of despair, and then in tones of loving sympathy and admiration they added Gin concerD:

ried out his recommendations as to
adeuate fortifcations. With navy
enlarged to the size he wishes, a fleet
could be kept on each coast for such
emergency.
Until the day OF the Greater Amer
lean Navy, 1t is the belief of the
president that the fleet should be
shifted between the two oceans ev-
cry year or two, and be kept at the
highest point of efficiency for any
,eventuality.
These sentiments, the president
feels, should be incorporated In the
Chicago platform In this policy he
will have the enthusiastic support of
the delegations from the far West,
whether they be pro- o-Roosevelt or anti
Roosevelt ypro-Taft or anti-Taft.
Moreover, the president will en-
deavor TO pledge the party to the
promise made by some OF the Senate
leaders when the naval appropria-
ton bill was under discussion re-
Gently. He had insisted on a pro-
gram of four battleships this year.
The House balked, and so did the
Senate. The president fought hard

his pet politics. He not only sent q
special message. but he wrote letters
to the big men in Congress. He sum-
mOned them TO tho White House nnd
he talked to them like Dutch un-
ole The result was that he snatched
victory from apparent defeat. He
really had not expected more than
two battleships to be provided for
this year He got the appropriations
for these, and the promise that Con-
gress would provide for two more
each year for the next ten years. Now
he wants to make that promise bind
ing upon his party as a national pol
icy.

GETTING TOGETHER

The prime movers in the Method
ist general conference which is in
session in Baltimore, are making a
strenuous effort to effect a union be-
tween the Methodist Episcopal and
the Methodist Protestant churches.
These denominations were originally
one, but a split occurred over the
question of church government. The
creeds and doctrines Of the two de-
nominations are practically the same
Since the split occurred, the
Methodist Episcopal church has
practically conceded the point and
is now practicing the very things
which caused the division and
which have always been practlced
by the sister church, SO that there
appears now to be no reason why
the union should not be effected.
Some years ago splits in churches
over questions of doctrines and gov
ernment were the order of the day.
There is scarcely denomination in
exlstance which did not experience
some trouble. In fact the Catholic
church is about the only one which
has not been seriously affected by
this sort Of thing. Today the trend
of thought among religious and
other thinking people is toward
uninimity. Churches and demonina-
tions which experienced divisions
some years ago are being reunited
and all are working for the common
cause, the Christianization of the
whole world. Other divided demon
inatlons have been able to patch up
their difficulties and join hands
In the work and there seems now no
good reason why the Methodist
Protestant and Metholist Episcopal
churches should not fall into line
and unite in their efforts.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, May 19.-Adequate
military and naval protection for the
Pacific Coast.
| This will be one of the blanks of
the next Republican national plat
form, II Theodore Roosevelt has any
thing to say about II. And those
who have been watching the trend of
events are pretty sure that Roosevelt
Will get into that platform Just about
what he wants.
1'he president Is more than merely
In sympathy with the dem1nd of the
far West that proper facilities for
defense be afforded the Pacific sea-
board. He Is inslstcnt upon the mat
ter, as national policy. He believes
that just as much consideration
should be given TO the proper protec-
tion OF the Plclflc coast as the At
lantic. He regards the interests OF
California, Oregan and Washington as
emphatically the interests of the
iwhcee Union, just as much as are
those of Maine and New York.
He would like to see every seaport
on the Pacific made impregnabIe.
He would like TO have the western
coast amply provided with navy
yards and docking facilities for our
big warships. SO long as he is
president, he will keep plugging away
at Congress for legislation in this
direction.
More than that, he hopes that
eventually the United States will
have navy large enough to be able
to protect either or both coasts from
attack by hostile fleet. Considering
the present size OF the navy, It would
have to operate as a unit against
formidable foe. Were II on the At
lantic when an attack should be made
on the Pacific Coast. great damage
would be wrought before the fleet
could reach the scene-unless Con
