A FITTING MONUMENT.

Ed's~r Pavipw.
 Dear SiE.-A short time since ( promise was made to Mir Cameron, Arizona's promising representative, that upon or immediately after a cer- tain weather dey ation for Arizgna's benefit should be secured. that a fit ting monument, or some Gdamantinl material that would endure until Ari- zona should bq granted single state hood by the Republican party, would be erected to ais memory.
 A few days ago | received over my private grapevine wireless, the fol- ewing message Statehood matter now of my hands SO W iu bend all my energiss toward tne accOmpl snmeut Of your suggestion and if I don't have it adopted before April 1st I will ney-er-hardly ever ask for an other vote in Arizona R. C. COnse- quentiy it behOoves us to get a wig gle on for that monument The oaiy thing in doubt about said memorial Is as to what material should he used tO cover the requirement Oi durabili- ty. which specifics that it must not perish before Arizona is granted SINGLE statehood by the Republi- can party. Since looking over tne situation calmly and deliberately | fear that l was almost as rasl in promising that as Mir Cameron was .n his ante-election promises: still. while coniessing my inability to sug- Eest a sufficient imperishabLe material have, by aid of slate and pencil, fig ured out what l think almost every enc must concede IS certainly a most ! Appropriate material, which l VII! elucidate thusly: Arizona's normal Democratic majority is at least 1.001. l Camecon's majority 500. To accom- plish this result it Is very evident that about 800 Democrats deserted their candidate to vote for Mir. Cam eron. Now we win allow that, say, 300 of them dd SO because of the glad hand so much in evidence dur. ing the campaign which leaves about an even 800 Democrats who voted for him on account 0f his statehood promises. Now. in view of the object lesson afforded by New Mexico fol the last twelve years. where at each | and every election during that time, the cry was. "Elcct a Republican del 1 egate and you will get statehood at
 once" so they elected a Republi. can. and every Democrat in Arizona knows just how much it availed New Mexico. and should have known just how much 1t would help Arizona to do the same thing, which brings the fol- ! owing answer: Build of Jackass

NEW MEXICO IS "IN BAD"

Following is an article which ap- peared .n the Philadelphia Telegram after the statehood fiasco in the United States Senate;
 ~It will surprise no one that the senate has incontmently rejected the bill admitting New Mexico to state hood. The incessant activity of the political machine. which Delegate Bull" Andrews. Formerly Of Pennsyl- yania, organized in- that territory to convert into private possession about everything within it's boundaries which had value was calculated to arouse suspicion. and this has been shown 10 have been well founded by the fed eral inquiry which Is now to result in a thorough exposure.
 There was. on the part Of the sec ate, no doubt that the territorial gov ernment was engaged in a coloss2i scheme of graft by exercising its pow CTS 10 transfer the ownership Of ricG mineral lands and timber tracts to politicians who would profit enor- mously the moment New Mexico was invested with the powers of Q state.

 Tt is known now that the great clamor for statehood vas part of the intrigue to enrich tho men who had bineJted themselves on New Mexico and who were hopeful of fastening their grip upon new commonwealth with all its resources Tor augmeuting their political influence and elutting their pockets, and this will not be as tonishing when it Is understood that the political master of this far-away territory is Bull Andrews, who studied the science Of public spoila- ton at the feet of Matthew StanIey Quay He has been generally regard ed as cQualliug 4 not exceeding that mastcr-mind both in ingenuity and daring. and falling short only in the quality Of iudicious restraint.

Tine AIbuuerque Journal published the above. following it up with the subjoined editorial comment:
 While the foregoing shows that the Telegram writer was in error re- garding some Of the minor details Of the matters under review, it shows, also. that the corruptions Uracticed by the gang which has for some years been in control of affairs in New Mex leo have become notorious that the people of the country at large have come to regard us all as in the same boat. and in their condemnation make no effort to discriminate between the innocent and the guilty. And. as a perfectly fair and nasral uestion, why should they7 1T a majority Of the people Of New Mexico persist in nctpiA5 lAlt SAAtA DoD4lti1 f1l E-A4iA- bition before the world as choice spec imens Of the manhood. the progress and the political decency of the ter. ritory, how can we reasonably find fault with the pedple of the country at large if they conclude that we are all tarred with the same sticls?'
 "Such facts furnish a sufficient req. son why all decent people Of the ter ritory should unite in a general ap- peal to the federal government to in stitute and carry out a thorough and searching investigation of our affairs, and put the whole facts conspicuously before the public.

A bill to compel the reading of the Bible in the public schools has made some progress in the State senate in Missouri. It exempts from partici- patton in the exercise the children of objecting parents. It is doubtless a measure of good intentions, designed to inculcate ideas of religion into plas- tic minds. but 1t is an unhappy effort, nevertheless. Tn a country of re- ligious tolerance. where DO connection of church and state is possible and the religious training or children has been wisely left to parental direction, the introduction of this subject invar- iably arouses harsh feelings. The Bible, despite it's universal acceptance as the basis of all Christian religions is no harmonizer of creeds, and the exemption noted in the bill win be of little influence to moIllfy the opposi. ton certain to come.

WEALTH ANC

The member or the New York Leg isIature who makes an impassioned ap- peal for steep inheritance tax as an alternative to anarchy" wildly mis- reads all the teachings Of political economy on the purpose Of taxation and on the proper distribution of wealth among the people.
 When legislators go to applying the States power Of taxation on any other theory than that the sole purpose of taxation of any kind is to raise reve- nue for public uses they are opening paths for trouble as surely as the sparks fly upward.
 is 8 means of raising revenue the graduated inheritance tax levied by Great Britain-rising on the largest fortunes to as much. as l5 per cent is not a bad financial measure. As a means Of regulating the distribution of wealth among the people and break ing up vast fortunes such a tax is wholly vicious. The world has never yet found way to get it's work done and at the same time to regulate great accumulations of wealth except through the action Of the unchangiEs laws of trade and the operation of human nature.
 It is as true now as it vas when Thomas Jefferson said it-snd it had often been said before--that there are only three generations between shirt sleeves and shirt sleeves. The most certain force for breaking up and dis. sfpating. great accumulations Of wealth is the extravaganza and seIf-indul. sence of the heirs who inherit them in the second and third, or later. genera tions.
 A vast fortune honestly earned means only that Its owner has. in one way or another. done a great service to thes country or community. The only legitimate function of the law in the matter is to sec to 1t that great

PISTOLS AND SUMPTuARY LAWS.

The di' sgracefu scenes in Nashville during which armed guards are re- ported to have threatened violence 70 members of the Tennessee Legislature desiring to go out f the hall of the House are a sad commentary upon the effort of one-haIf of the people of the State to make the other half think and act as they do in a matter of per sonal conduct.
 The Government of the State is par alyzed and the wheels of legislation blocked by a determined effort to make Statewide an alleged reform that can be successfully dealt with only by each minor political subdivis- ion for itself. 4 number of members of one branch of tho Legislature have gone into voluntary exile in another State to prevent the success of a scheme of practical politics which threatens effaeement Of the lines dt yiding the pricipal political parties, and the police power of the Sergeant at Arms is usurped by unauthorized guards who appear to have taken ser vice under one faction on account of their readiness for ruffianism against the other.
 In Kentucky we have seen a similar, though more orderly, contest over State prohibition end in the loss to the Democrats of 9 senator of the United States, and the election of the Retnblican Bradley. though there was a Democratic majority in the Legis- lature which should have sent 8 Dem oerat to re-enforee the hard-pressed minority in the senate at Washington.
 Such submergence of vital political issues is 9 question of sumptuary reg ulatioa, says the SL Louis Republic and continuing says: Missouri has escaped by it's wise and just local. option laws, which enable the coun, ties and towns which desire to pro- hlbit the sale of liuor to co so without interfering with the convictions, nor. als and customs of other communities.
 And prohibition can be enforced in DO other way than by the local laws Of the communities which adopt t voluntarily It is not a political ques- ton and nothing but harm comes of mixing it with State issues of govern. ment and politics on which parties divide. Tennessee appears before the world il in most uuenviab,e light by it's departure from the Democratic rule of local self government and home rule. The State is vastly better off with local option. under which prohi- biton has been very generally adopted than 1t could ever be under a State prohib.-f,l lew that could not be enforced

She raised her head from his shoulder
for a moment.
do you believe that exercise and To-
tons and toilet preparations will improve
a woman's looks?" she asked.
He pressed her blond curls back upon
his chest. .'They couldn't improve the
looks of some women he said.
"Whose?" she asked.
We'll, yours and Violet Cochrane's, for
instance" he replied thoughtlessly
Il don't understand you," she said,
raising her head for the second time and
chilling him with a look. I'VE are not
at all alike
Il mean," he replied turning her head
for the second time and thinking quickly,
that your looks couldn't be improved
because they are perfect as they are
and that hers couldn't be improved be-
because no amount of work could make
her pretty"
And the freight fiickered knowingly
as she sighed great sigh OF contentment

USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.
Great Variety Growing in the State.
Durable Woods.
rom the Florida Times-Union

From the Florida Times-Union.
Florida has perhaps more useful trees
growing within her borders than any
other state in the Union-a greater va
riety. But there is a general desire to
introduce more. the soap berry, the
tallow tree and the eucalyptus.
An addition To the discussion of the lat
ter. tree which is very valuable because
IL has the unusual quality of growing with
great rapidity yet furnishing hard and
durable wood, is furnished by letter to
the editor OF the Florida Fruit and Pro-
duce News by Z. E. Thompson of Avon
Park. MIR. Thompson says. in part: ''Eu-
calyptus trees were first planted here
about 1894 and were injured by the great
freeze, but sprouted and grew like the
orange trees. A few eucalyptus trees
planted later have made such wonderful
growth as to cause people to look up. take
notice and rubberneck to see the lofty.

British History in Woman's Garb.

tTOm the New lOrk freSS.
Never before probably were SO many
varieties of feminine historical costumes
seen as were represented in the history
pageant recently in Bath, England. The
founding of that famous watering place
antedates the Roman invasion of ancient
Britain, and every fashion in womans
dress used by the people OF Bath since the
days of the Picts and Scots, and of the
wall separating southern Britain from
the savage tribes of the north, was shown
by participants In the pageant. There
were the flowing, fur-lined, heavy robes
of the SaxOns; the light, graceful draper
les brought in by the Roman invaders;
the 1owered and embroidered gowns OF
Norman women, who were up to date in
all the mode, coming, as they did, from
France: the rude dresses Of wild beasts
Skins, in which were clad the helpmeets
Of the Danes and Vikings, who swept
through the country long before the Nor
mans came, and every style Of frock
which garbed English women from the
time of King Arthur and the Round Table
to the present reign of King Edward.
Each of more than two hundred women
wore different costume illustrative of
a distinct period in British history.

formerly Inhabited the White House

gian hares turned loose in the White

piled, but during the Roosevelt admins
tration there was big tabby cat kept al
the White House and this feline preferred
rabbit meat to any other form of sus-
tenance. She killed off nearly all of the
big hares and there are now only two OIL
cotton tails. The cat, however, did no,

Advance Another Theory.

Some of the workmen around the White
House who have picked up dead squirrels
hold another theory. And that is that the
deaths are mostly due to misadventure.
They say that the squirrels chase one
another through the trees and often will
fall short in a jump for a limb and are
dashed to pieces on the ground below.
This, however, would indicate that squir-
rels arr not up to the mark physically,
and nobody ever heard of a healthy wild
squirrel killing himself in this way.
Notice has been given to some of the
watchmen in the parks that If they
come across dead squirrels they will con-
fer favor by sending the bodies i'm
mediately to the Department Of Agricu-
ture, where an examination will be made
for the germ OF epidemic disease. Some
of them have already promised to do this
and the experts in the biological labora-
tory of the department are looking for
