These are the days for framing up good resolutions. The beginning of a aew year is an excellent time for eliminating bad habits and subsdtut- ing good ones in their stead. Every one should try to grow better as they grow older All have habits which they could abandon and thereby add to their usefulness to their homes and the community in which they reside. Then let us all make some good reso- lutions for the beginning of 1910 and strive to keep them.

STATEHOOD
 AGAIN DELAYED.

2he announcement that there would probably be TO statehood bill admitting Arizona and New Mexico to statehood passed. at this session of congress will prove disappointment but will not be a surprise. The dts, sentions in New Mexico and the questionable political methods en- ployed in both territories are under stood to be to blame for this further delay.
 Mir, Taft while outspoken in favor of statehood was equally outspoken in his determination that in so far as 1t lay in his power to prevent. neith- CT territory should be admitted until lit had adopted a safe and san consti- tuition.
 The crazy quilt affair adopted as the organic law of Oklahoma has served as a frightful example and both the president and the senate are evidently determined to run no risk of having such an instrument adopt ed by either of the states-to-be.
 In taking the position that the ad- mission of the territories to the union should be delayed until after the for mutation of a constitution that will safeguard the public interests and the peoples rights, the president is act ing wisely as all must admit. and un- til this is done, the enabling act will be withheld
 That an act providing for holding constitutional conventions in both territories within the coming year will be passed at this session of con gress is assured The act admitting them to the union will be passed after the constitutions adopted shall have been approved
 In this last analysis, therefore, the matter rests with the people of the two territories and with them will rest the responsibility for further de- iay.-El Paso Times.
 We are surprised to find the above in the columns of a paper which has always professed friendship for Ari- zona and New Mexico and which is published in a city which receives a vast trade from both territories. The Times says: The questionable pofftf cal methods in both territories are understood 10 te to blame for this further delay" The Times should be more specific in thus pilIoring the people of Arizona. To what .'ques- donable political methods" in Arizona does he Time alude? This territory has heen as free from official or po- Iitical scandal during the last quarter Of century as has Texas or any state ia the union
 Will the Times contend, seriously. that the residents of the territory of Arizona are not entitled to the same treatment in the admission of this , territory as a state as has been ac- corded to the people of other territor- ies at the time and in connection with their admission to the union.

alteration. Asylums are full of self made emperors. inventors, explorers and founders of new religions. Such delusions may even exist In men or dinarily accounted sane. The classic case of this sort Is George " of Eng land. The battle of Waterloo. occur ring when he was fifty-four years old. was the great event of his life.
 Though he.was sane, as royal Georges went, he came to believe from con; stantIy hearing it discussed that he himself had been present at the great struggle. And as few dispute king he long lived comfortably in honest error.
 Cook has for years been interest ed in Arctic exploration. He went once with Peary to the north and once cyeditably served in the Belgica Antarctic expedition. For years he has talked and thought and written of dangers and sufferings in the north. His dreams have been of the blue ribbon of adventure-the Pole. Taken north by Bradley. he sets out with an Esquimau party. Somewhere west of Cape Columbia he reaches the "Jumping-off place" of the western world. He endures the endless mon- otony Of the Arctic sea of ice and snow and desolation. He suffers hard ships as real as the, actual discovery of the Pole might have cntailed. He spends a winter in the edge of the Polar night, battling with cold. hun ger and the loneliness that ofen drives men mad Just escaping death. he emerges the wasted wreck of man that Whitney met near Etah
 Would it be strange if man so train. ed and so environed should come to believe himself the Polar couqueror? His vague narrative. his care-free happiness when greeted home. his neglect to manufacture proofs" for the Danes. are consistent with such a supposition.
 The only other theory is that Cook. a man who highly values the worlds good opinion, denperately entered upon clumsy fraud and. for the sake of brief applause and little dirty money. advanced claims whose fail ure he must have known would not leave him in any civilized land ref uge where under his own name he could be secure from ridicule and 
 We shall not quarrel with any of Dr. Cooks friends who, caught be tween these harsh alternatives, pre- fer now to believe that he is one more n the long list of men who have fall en prey to haIlacinations of their own greatness.

If the republican majority do not intend to admit Arizona on the the ory that they are not qualified for self-sovernment they should say SC and thus end the hopes of our peo- pie.
 If the residents of Arizona arc not competent to frame q state consutu- ton without dictation from Taft, Aid rich, Cannon, or anyone else not a resident of Arizona then they are not qualified to govern the new state
 It seems that President Taft has become daffy on tie question of the constitutions of the proposed new states and without cause. so far as Arizona Is concerned. The govern ment of Arizona and the laws of Ari- zona during its territorial life should be 8 guarantee that Arizona's consti- tuticn will not be a freak or 'carzy quit affair. The present laws or Arizona may be taken as a measure for estimating what our constitution will be. The constitution of Arizona it is hoped will he such an organic  act as will guarantee government by the people and for the people What is known as the initiative and referendum should De provided TOT and with this safeguard the people need not worry much abo6e~ the re- msinder.
 Arizo4a has long been kept from her just place as a state of the unions her people have awaited patiently for the right of seif-government, won years ago in the heart of our valleys and in the minerRl-seamed mountains of the territory. They will be con tent to wait longer for this right. rather than submit to eoerslon from any source in the formation of the eopstitution of the new state.

It is evident. as the days of con gress go by, that the Republicans propose to dictate the constitution of the. proposed new state of Arizona. The present indications are that we are to be permitted to draft con stitution, and in the event that the instrument meets with the approval of the president and members of con gress who belong to the same politi- cal faith. then. aud not before. will congress proceed to pass an enabling act admitting Arizona to statehood. Strange President Taft and Secretary Hitchcock failed to inform us upon this subject when they were here re gently, but perhaps. Senator Aldrich had not at that time taken them into his confidence.

Crocker of that city for s25O.OOO, al leging LIBEL. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

 tr is by looking backward down the dim vistas of the past. marking the good. noting the causes of the bad, that We are able to glean the beauti- ful and useful lessons that supply the foot lights for our footsteps in the future. Nothing is truer than the old saying that "a rough sea makes the sAillful mariner" The lessons leara- ed from the mistakes of the past are those of most value to every one who wishes to avoid these pitfalls in the future.
 Take Look Backward over the past twelve months, sift the events crowded into the history of the past year. Upon the whole are you satis- fled with your part in the play? Have you given to the world good honest service? No. Then perhaps here lies the secret of your failure. You owe it to the world, to yourself and to your posterity to labor.
 We get no more than we deserve. no more than we bid for. Have you spent the year waiting for something to turn up" or have you been indus triously trying to turn something up? If not you must remember that all things come to those who labor and wait.
 No lessons learned, no troubles stunned The one who does every thing in the same old way can expect no improvement in results. "A Look Backwards" will pay, sum up the good and profit by the experiences of the past.
 The year has been prosperous. o3e. Every successful man has taken a steD s~.G u 2a you belong to this class? No, Then maks up your mind to join. Do something to win Tighten the governors on your engine and run little faster and smoother. sspend less time in loafing and idle talking. Spend more time in read ing the news of the day and in keep ing iG touch with the progress of the world. Keep on moving with your aims high. doing your work system atically and well. Labor hard and spend less than you make. Study the careers of those who have been sue cessful. paying attention to the things that have made them 50.
 Let there be DO cause on your part why the next year snoula not re more successful than the past. Re msmber what Franklin said that The Lord helps those who help themselves"
 So while we look back let's step right out into the future with our hearts set to win, and the impulse oi this within us will carry us to vi, torfous end.
