fornia or any Of the other states that
have been much in the public eye in
the last few years as a result of ex-
posures OF political corruption within
their borders. AS a matter of fact a
territory has little chance to free it
self from political cliques and rings so
long as the officials are appointed
rather than elected. Self-government
is the first essential to political
house cleaning and this the senate has
decided to deny TO the two territories
that have more qualifications for
statehood than some of the states now
in the union.
The excuse offered by Senator
Beveridge and some of his colleagues is
the merest subterfuge and nom know
it better than they. The real reason
for the defeat Of the statehood meas
ure is the desire and determination of
the eastern coterie of senators, who
have formed a sort of oligarchy and
operated It for a good many years, to
limit the numerical strength of the
senators from the west and south
west. The addition of four new SEN
ators from New Mexico and Arizona
would greatly strengthen the hands of
the progressive members of the senate
who have for years been trying to
break up the clique which now con-
trolls that body. Senator Beveridge,
unwittingly perhaps, is simply playing
into the hands Of the enemies of the
west and of the progressive policies of
the republican party.

Theodore Roosevelt becomes a
plain citizen today and William How
ard Taft becomes president of the
United States, faced with tasks that
will strain his strength. both mental
and physical, to its utmost. He will
have no time to study pending prob
lens and arrange his program for the
consideration of the congress that
meets in December. but must plunge
at once into tariff revision and all the
problems and %annoyances that are in
evitable attendants OF an extra session
Of congress. AS soon as the extra ses-
sion is IA of the way the president
will be forced to shape his future
course toward the trusts, the inter
state commerce measures. conservation
of and the improvement of
inland waterways, the Panama canal
and the larger subjects that are
scheduled for consideration at the reg
ular session.
II there is anything in training. Mr..
Taft is unquestionably the best
equipped man who has so far reached
the Office of president. His legal,
colonial and official experience-in
fact, his whole life, has been a long
preparation for the task that now con-
fronts him, and he is particularly for
tunate in going into Office with more
general support than has been &C
corded any of his predecessors. The
republican party is united as 1t has
not been for years and ready to sup
port his policies, and the democrats,
with rare exceptions, are not disposed
to obstruct his plans. The south,
while 1t voted against Mr.. Taft at the
polls, has unreservedly expressed its
appreciation of his high personal
character and ability and has voiced a
desire to join with him in blotting out
political sectional lines. He has the
confidence of the business interests of
the country, and his administration is
expected to mark a long step forward
in our general prosperity.
President Taft's attitude toward
what have become known as the
Roosevelt policies" will be, watched
with much concern. No one want or
expects him to take any backward
step from the avowed purposes of the
Roosevelt administration. He will
have the same enc in view, but those
| ends are now assented to by practi-
cally everybody, and President Taft
will be able to accomplish them with
out the disturbance that was neces-
sary to their origin and development
in the minds of the people and the Of
fcials in Washington. The campaign
Of agitation and education begun by
President Roosevelt has conferred the
public mind to the accomplishment OF
certain needed reforms along definite
and fixed lines. President Taft is
pledged to the prosecution of these
policies and the congress elected with
him is doubly pledged. The Taft
administration has only to keep faith
with these pledges to make the next
four years the best the country has
known.

The association of life insurance pyesl-
dents Is apparently somewhat skepslcal
whether or not Prof. Irving Fisher
is correct in his contention that fifteen
years can be added to the span Of human
life by the adoption OF certain practical
hygenic reforms, but their appointment
of a human life extension committee in
dicates that they are not disposed TO reject
II altogether. They are willing to look
into the subject. why shouldn't they?
One Of the great life insurance companies
lately showed that a death occurred among
their policy holders every six minutes
What II they could extend this interval
to seven or eight minutes? II would make
a vast difference In their financial ex-
hibits, to say nothing OF the benefits that
would thus be conferred upon mankind
generally. 1t is well worth the effort In
volved.

statehood and Political Purity.

Some of the United States senators
who are opposed to the admission or
Arizona and New Mexico to statehood
must have been mighty hard pressed
for an excuse when they offered testl-
mony OF political corruption in New
Mexico as a reason for denying state
to the two territories at the ses-
sion of congress ending today.
The statehood bill had passed the
house without a dissenting vote, and
the senate was forced to find some
pretense for Withholding approval to
the measure. Senator Beverage dis
covered il. At the last meeting of the
committee on territories he presented
a batch Of afidavits alleging that the
dominant element in the political af-
fairs of New Mexico had been guilty
of corruption, jury fixing, land
grabbing. bribery, intimidation and
wholesale violation of federal laws.
Testimony in support of these charges
was offered by certain parties opposed
10 the element now in control and
quoting from the Associated Press re-
port, 1.-The senators declared that
statehood for New Mexico will never
be possible until there has been a
cleaning out of the gang which now
controls"
New Mexico is making no claim to
political purity any more than Ii

The shifting OF our changing attitude
toward Venezuela is typical OF our chang
ing attitude toward Spanish and Portu-
guese America in general. The tendency
now is to look upon that more than
bakers dozen of Republics as something
else than the breeding place Of comic-opera
revolutions. The growing prosperity Of the
southermost republics. their growing
prominence at International conferences,
the increasing intellectual communicated
between the two Americas, all this works
for new relations based on a fuller know
ledge and fuller sympathy.
