THE RANGER ON HIS MERITS.

Discussing tho action of the iegisia- lure In abolishing the ranger service the Globe Belt says:
 "As stated in yesterdays Silver Belt. petition Is being circulatsd in Globe asking the legislature to- -reeon-. sider it's action in attempting to a5ol- ish the rangers of Arizona A coun- ter petition was started yesterday and there win undoubtedly be a lively scrap in the legislature beforc the ratter Is finally settled. Much of the bitter feeling against the legislature for attempting to eliminate the rang CTS was prompted by the belief-and there was ground for this conclusion-- that i; was purely 3 political shot and aimed at Governor Kibbey.
 The question is now being argued on it's merits.
 Arizona is far frcm being densely populated,
 There are sections visited by the rangers not frequented by other off cers. and that they do oner protection cannot be successfully denied.
 l. is also true that since the fornla- ion Of the ranger company crime of III kinds has been reduced to 9 mini nam in these isolated places and train aobbeTies are incidents fast fading aon our memories. as far as they pertain to this territory.
 That this protection is stEl needed goes without saying. If it can be moro cheaply secured in the employment of some other brand of officers. well and good.
 The peopie should be safeguarded lsefore the protection that is now giy- en is removed.
 t is held by those whe would ban ish the ranger company that only three counties in the territory are ben efted by this annual expenditure of about ;S0.OOO. This is only partially correct. It Is true thant most of the 1 offenders are captured in the border counties. but isn't this a compliment to the efficiency Of the ranger force? The criminals are appresended righ; a. the gates of Arizona. and are eth CT driven back into Mexico. or are incarcerated and punished for their depredations.
 Should VIC take down this barrier ,and permit them to overrun the en- tire territory?
 Shouldn't the people Of ail Arizona be willing to stand for the expense of this good work?
 The people in the border counties are compelled to bear the expense Of their convictions. as well as to pay their pro rata of the cost of maintain ing the rangers.
 In New Mexico. a territory with q greater population than Arizona. at this very minute. a ranger company is being organized for the protection of the people. The people of New Mexico state that they were compelled to take this action because the rangers of Ari-

WILL REPUBLICANS KEEP STATEHOOD ,.r11e1
nlEDeEg

What's tho matter with the state hood bill2 Why ha,o the republicans failed to redeem their promise to Ari- zona? IL will be remembered thar during the campaign last fall the cam
 paign managers in Arizona claimed that they had tho word from the na- tionaI leaders Of the republican party that if the people of Arizona elected Ralph Cameron. the republican candi- date for congress. Arizona would be admitted as state by the present con
 gress. This was the promise given to the people of Arizona by Hoyai A. Smith. Governor Ribbey. the Morri- son brothers. Ralph Cameron. Sydney Beiber. Low Collins. Ally Cohn and the entire bunch. Senator Dever- idge told the New Mexico representa- tives last Saturday that it would be impossible to pass the statehood bill through the senate during the pres ent session of congress. The people of Arizona have been hopeful that the republican promises would be kept and Arizona admitted as state. but this hope is gone with the declaration of Beveridge made to the New Mexi- co representative. This paper is of the opinion that if the statehood bills fail now. at 2 time when the repuo- hcan party would have every reason to pass 1t in accordance with the pledges made iE Arizona and New Mexico, then statehood is dead issue for several years in the future. The republicans could make some good political capital now in the new states by the passage of the bills. If this incentive is sufficient to bring action now. then it will be hard to interest that party in statehood after the time for making political capital
 s past As a matter of fact there has been little done by anyone in this ter
 itory since the election last fall in
 he interest of statehood. Democrats have relied on the republican promise
 hat only the election of Cameron was necessary to insure the passage of the statehood bill. and it seems. that the republicans have. until the last few days. relied on Kibtey, who has made two trips to Washington fin the in- terest of statehood '

.UkcAIlso FOR
 ASSAULT ON ki66EY-

We do not wonder that there should be hisses In the council gallery al Phoenix during the speech es HoR- Eugene Brady o'Nen in reply 10 the message of Governor Kibbey. accom- panying his veto of the ranger bill While we think the message of the Governor was a very weak defense Of his position on the ranger bill, in that it plead for the rangers for perform ing duties which other officials of the territory could not be trusted to per form. VIC do not believe that there was anything in the message to war rant an attack by Mir. o'Neil or anyone else on the past private character of the governor.
 There are many of the best citizens of Arizona today who are not what they were twenty years ago, either in conduct or Inclination. Governor Kib- bey is one of them. Like many others of the early days in Arizona Kib5ey was accustomed to look too long on the wine when it was red: when Mir. O'Neil was reeiting this he was not telling the people of the territory any. thing which they did not know. If MT. O'Neil has ao other weapon to fight the governor with other than assault on his private character he would do much better to run away and not fight at all. o-Neii can neither eie vate himself in the estimation of the people Of Arizona O. lower the gov erno- in public estimation by digging us such ghosts of the past
 Joseph IL Kibbey has filled many public positions in Arizona and aside from his inciinatOn to play politics on all occasions his record is not such as to deserve such an onslaught as that which Was made on him by AT. ONen.
 We would gay to Governor Ki5bey and to the members og the legislature to stick to the present business. and even if they desire. let them play the political game to the limit, but let us not have all the dirty linen of past ages in Arizona washed in public whether 1t be that of Governor Kibbey or anyone else.

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings IN All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 15.-Prices of stocks to-
day continued the vigorous recovery
which set In yesterday. United States
Steel was the dominant leader of the
speculation and its rapid advance set the
tone Of the whole market. OF scarcely
less influence on sentiment was the new
prominence assumed by st. PAU. ANAL
Samated Copper and Union Pacific, which
are supposed to be the favorte specua-
tive mediums of the Standard OIL party.
The movement in these stocks mad the
erect OF quoting an apprehension pro-
fessed by an element of the speculation
that the Morgan movement in the mar
ket did not have the support ana approval
of the STANDARD Oil party. The concur
rent revival of strength in Reading made
an important addition to the favoring in
fuenceS.
The tone of the money market was
somewhat easier in the cal loan division
in spite of the forecast of another heaVy
decline in the cash holdings of the banks
for the week, and the supply or funds
was reported to be larger. The move
ment of the interior exchanges indicates
for currency, such as is not unusual for
a few weeks after the first of OCTOBER.
The speculation today showed Itself
prompt to avail itself of the prospect
of this amelioration Of the money sltua-
ton, which is called the sole obstacle to
the demand for stocks. The extraordinary
movement in United States Steel caused
a circulation of new rumorS OF speclal de-
VelOplnentS ASIDE from the ldVoId u due

of a contemplated dinner at which the
heads of the Independent steel companies

rumor, which alleged an intended close
working agreement to include all the pro-

There was reported also a better feel
ing in the copper trade, but the erect was
more pronounced on the securities or cop
per companies than on the market Tor the
metal itself. The Missouri Kansas &

the companies affected and induced some
credence for reports of other railroad
deals. Realizing sales deducted some
thing from the days gross gains, but

He Will Win Over KetCheI

San Francisco, Oct. 15.-Rumors of a
hitch in the Johnson-Ketchel cham
pionship fight. which is scheduled to
take place in Coffroth's arena tomor-
row afternoon, appears to have been
fasty, according to information that
came from both camps today
Johnson and Coffroth had confer
ence last night and it was then sur
missed there was trouble over the sid =
bet of $4,000. This rumor spread rap
idly when it was learned Coffroth had
said there may be no fight"
George Little. Johnson's manager,
when asked today if there was any
hitch. said: certainly not. Johnson
and Coffroth had a talk last night but
nothing serious came up. 1t was SIM
ply that Johnson wanted to have an
understanding in regard to certain
matters so as not to consume time
when the men entered the ring
ut was decided that the managers
of the fighters should have a confer
ence with Referee Welch today and
settle everything likely to cause fric-
ton at the last moment There is
nothing wrong with the side bet and
there is no chance of anything crop
ping up to interfere with the fight"
Willus Britt. Ketchers manager, said
he had not heard of any trouble and
that he had hardly thought Johnson
would raise any question as to the side
bet.

READY FOR FRAY.
Bates College Eleven Leaves This
Morning for Durham.

Lewiston, Me, Oct. 15-(SpeciaD.-
The Bates College football team will
leave on the 715 train Saturday morn
ing for Durham, n. H., where they Will
meet New Hampshire State College
for their fifth game of the season.
Thus far Bates has won one game, tied
one and lost two. In New Hampshire
they will find a husky opponent. Last
year they barely defeated her, but
they hope to equal Names score OF
last week. However, if they can score
two touchdowns against the Durham
team, they will be highly satisfied for
it has been reported that the latter
team has been putting in some hard
practice for this game.
Manager Thurston will take one OF
the coaches, the Varsity eleven and
four substitutes on this trip. The
eleven will probably lineup as follows:
LIE, Bishop It, D. Andrews lg, Dacey;
C, Dorman; re-, Carroll or Jecusco; TT, w.
Andrews or Jecusco; re, McCollister; OBJ,
CumminS; RIB, keaney; lib, Dennis; fb,
Lovely.
The substitutes will probably be
Thompson, end; Lombard, quarter
back; Conklin, halfback and Strout,
lineman. 1t is not positive whether
w. Andrews will be in the lineup or
not. He is back in the game but was
out for some time so that the coaches
will not drive him. Dorman is back
at center and the line is much
strengthened by his appearance, it is
thought.
The team has been having secret
practice all this week when the wealth.
er has permitted the men to work on
the field. Just what has been going on

Detroit, Mich, Oct 15.-The seventh
and decisive game of the great world s
championship series between Pittsburg
and Detroit will be played here tomor-
row, weather permitting. From the
present indications the weather condl-
tons for tomorrow will be the worst
of the series. Tonight it is raining
and almost showing, with high winds
and the thermometer lowering about
the freezing point. A continuance OF
the same sort of weather is expected,
and ii the game is played, 1T will prob
ably be under conditions which will
prevent good baseball by either team.
Despite the untOward weather con-
ditions it is freely predicted that If the
game is played tomorrow it will be
witnessed by the largest crowd that
ever saw game in this city. The re-
served seats were put on sale at Ben
nett park TODAY and a wild rush en-
sued. The National Commission reg
ulated the sale and everything was
done to prevent spectators from Sc
curing the coveted pasteboards. Long
lines extended from the ticket windows
and waited for hours to get the Oppor-
tunitY to buy reserved seats. The sup
ply was practically sold out before
nightfall
Under the present weather conditions
the pitchers will be George Mullin for
Detroit and Charles Adams for Pitts
burg. Each of these twirlers has won
two games in the series Adams de-
feated Mullin in the opening game, but
poor fielding behind the Detroit pitch
er contributed to his defeat, for he held
Pittsburg to one hit less than was
made by Detroit. Adams again de-
feated Detroit in the fifth game at
Pittsburg and this time he clearly out
