Effect on the Older Sections.
One theory regarding the market at this
time is that the new houses and apart
ments draw from the older structures, so
that while it may be true that the new
buildings are supplied with tenants, such
a result is reached, it is argued, by emp
tying apartments that have been in use
for some time No one familiar with con-
ditions will dispute that proportion of
the tenants Of new buildings are derived
from such source. 1t is denied. how
ever, that this makes the market or
even large proportion of it.
The experience of such men as James
NJ Green is of value in this connection.
He handles a large number of houses in
\ the older portions of the city-in fact, the
very class that is supposed to be left va
cant by the movement to new structures.
He says that he finds his houses in
good demand, and not because of reduced
rentals. Instead of a list of vacant houses
he has them under lease. His experience
is testimony that one portion OF the city
| is not prospecting at the expense of other
portions.

IT now begins to look like state hood for Arizona and New Mexico at the next session of congress. Of course the people of the two terri. tories have been fooled so often with statehood promises that they have to be "shown" before they believe it. But many of those who are in close touch with the leaders of the party in power feel confident that two new stars will be added upon the U. s. flag at the earliest pos sible time. The territories have made such rapid progress in the past two years, commercially and otherwise, that their admittance into the union can no longer be de
 nied. Arizona with her population of over two hundred thousand in- telligent and liberty loving people is fitted for self government. Ari- zona's wealth is unmeasurable. It's copper output is greater than that of any other commonwealth in the union, then added to its other mineral and agricultural resources it ranks we'll with several of the older states. New Mexico with it's population of 450, 1000, coal deposits richer than that of Penn sylvania and rich in agricultural and other resources. The draw back to New Me1ico's admission in to the union has been the talk that the majority of it's population were Mexicans. This talk can't be used against our eastern neighbor, for fully seventy-five per cent of it's population are Americans and 90 per cent of it's population speak English. Both territories will be admitted at the satno time as sepe- rate states and the time is now ripe for the people of Arizona and New Mexico to make united effort for statehood. There is nothing but delay in knocking at each other. Both territories are ready and should be given statehood.

THE colored citizens of the United States will commemorate their emancipation on September 22 On this date in 1862, Abraham Lincoln gave notice to the south. which was then in rebellion against the United States, that unless those who were rebelling and opposing the government lay down their arms and come back into the union, he would declare all the slaves free. This notice was to last three months. At the end of the three months the south was still in re- bellion against the union, and Lin coin then issued his emancipation on January 1, 1863, setting free all the slaves in the districts where their owners had not complied with the terms of the notice. At the north January 1 is often too cold for outdoor celebration, hence Sept. 22 is generally celebrated.

This is a Good One

holding of a number of eastbound passenger trains at this point for AS hours resulted in such a conges- ton of traffic here that all hotels were filled and many of the tourists who came here from the Grand Canyon were unable to find sleep ing quarters Much complaint was heard, but the passengers were dis posed to take the matter good na. turedly until four of party tried to spend the night of Sept. 1 in a Pullman car which was on siding here. The four tourists were prompt ly ejeected from the car by the rail- way employees.
 Thereupon they told their trouble to other tourists and a party quick ly collected and went to the agent with a vehement protest. He de- clined to do anything for them and thereupon the tourists stormed the Pullman, took possession, discharged the porter and spent the night in the car, with plenty of lower berths. The tourists talked freely of mob violence if they were again dis turbed, and evidently the railway men thought it best to leave them undisturbed, for no one showed up and the services of an officer were not asked.-Albuquerque Citizen.
 But, oh, you Citizen correspond entl Why didn't you tell all the story? The following morning. the tourists, still being in an angry mood at their enforced delay, seized dozen of the railway employees and the colored porter, and strung them up to adjacent telegraph poles. The "melishy" was hastily rushed to the scene of the riot. and after much trouble and bloodshed suc- ceeded in capturing the ringlea ders of the outbreak and they were es- corted under strong guard to the dining room of the Harvey House where they were served with the kind of meals which has made this system famous the world over. THE NEWS believes in telling all the truth, not a garbled report about such important happenings. Such reports about the wild and woolly ways of eastern tourists may hurt our chances for statehood.
