The bin providing separate Statehood
FOR New Mexico and Arizona was form
ally reported 20 the House yesterday by
the Committee on Territories, with few
changes as introduced by Representative
Hamilton.
The report Of the committee was signed
by the Democratic. as well as the Repub-
lican. members. and it is believed the
measure viii pass the House with only
few opposing votes. The poll OF the Sen
ate showed that body almost unanimously
in favor Of admitting the Territories.

months after the approval Of the act

Constitutional Convention
An election which is properly safe

a constitution convention for each pro-
posed State The convention for New
Mexico is 10 consist OF 100 delegates. and
that for Arizona Of ffty-twO delegates.

hcatOn a. an election 20 De held espe-
ciaily for that purpose
The bill fixes minimum price at which
the lands granted for educational pur-
poses subject 10 sale may be sold. TIE
price east Of the I5oth meridian is fixed
az $ Per acre This covers approximately
the east third OF New Mexico. The price
fixed on the remaining two-thirds Of New
Mexico and upon Arizona is s. per acre.
X IS recognized by the committee, as
well a. by other earnest advocates OF a
minimum price, that practically none q
these lands are worth now anything Ike
the minimum price fixed. Where school

valuable land cannot be sold. and CON-
paratively few sections fan within irriga-

II is believed that the advance Of
science, the extension OF public and pri-
vate irrigation projects and the tendency
| toward the higher development Of smaller
holdings wiz, IN the case OF Arizona and
I New Mexico. as IN the case Of other
States, result IN a sure. although slow,
| increase OF land values.

market row much more than 3 cents ar
acre, but II the history o. other states IL
which minimum prices which at the
/ time were considered prohiOitive. were

! New Mexico. Il is OF the utmost impor-
/ tance that some restriction be placed
upon the sale Of these lands.

action Of Senator Perkins IN recently ad-

ture that he was IN favor Of the restric-

nese.
Perkins has not been in close harmony
with the administration for several years
because Of his attitude on questions az
fecting the navy. but he has been an
occasional caller at the White House. II
is understood that he would be an unveI-

A Card

KNIFLEY, KY, Oct. Is, 1909.
To The Voters of Adair County,
When Mr.. ]. M. Wolford and myself
were candidates for the nomination for
Assessor of Adair county, l was asked
in every part of the county if Mr.. VOL
ford had been voting the prohibition
ticket l would not answer the ques-
ton. | would tell those who asked me
to investigate some other source as
wanted to treat him fair, but since it
developed that he does not respect me
or his oath either, l make the following
statement for the benefit of the public:
l can prove by as good men as there
are IN Adair county, both Republicans
and Democrats, that J. Nj. Wolford has
for several years been voting the pro-
hibition ticket, and further more, he
has stated that, if he won the race or
not he was out of politics for all time
to come. If any person or persons
doubt these statements only ask them
to come to me and / can take them to
as good men as this county affords and
prove every word that 1 have stated.
Now ask every reasonable thinking
voter that is in this county to ask him
self the question is it right to turn
man down who is running on the ticket
that he claims to belong to, or take up
a man who pretends to belong to the
Republican party and votes the prohi-
bition ticket. Now believing that ev-
cry citizen who believes in equal rights
to all and exclusive privileges to none
will support me, 1 remain,
Yours truly, w. j, Bottom.

Men are seeking to get rich fast.
In the struggle that is going on
for fortune under the mistaken
idea that it will bring happiness
everything else is sacrificed to
the craze. Thousands have dol
lars so close to their eyes that
they cannot see any thing be-
yond the rim. 1t is a low stand
ard, that debases rather than ell
evates mankind. Truly it can be
said of the age that the love of
money is the root of all evil.
Men are not seeking it for noble
purposes, but to crafty selfish de-
sires. They are not enriching
the world by their living, but
like the leech, they are blood
suckers impoverishing others in
the desire to have more than
their neighbors. AS a result of
the low standard religion. morals
literature and respect for the law
are all suffering. The country
is prospecting from a money stand
point as it never prospered be-
fore, but it is in consequence of
this craze to get rich it is suffer
ing in many things which are
more valuable for the advance
ment of humanity.

How To Cure Insomnia.

The first thing for a person in
clined to insomnia to dois to stop
worrying.
The greatest obstacle to sleep
is to worry that you are not 60
sleep; the more you move the god
lumber the more shy he be-
comes.
Next, be careful about what
you eat. The stomach is a pow
erful factor in sleep and will
keep one awake if it is too emp
ty, or if it is too full. Sugar,
candy and chocolate have a ten
dency to keep one awake, and
sweet deserts should be avoided
ct night as we'll as coffee, tea
and greasy foods; whether an
empty or a partially full stomach
is better depends on the individ-
ual and is determined by expert
mentation in each case.
One of the best ways to draw
the blood from the brain is to
take a moderately swift walk be-
fore retiring, and if there is still
difficulty in getting to sleep, a
tepid bath and gentle rub will
draw the blood from the brain to
the surface Of the body. Persons
susceptible to sound sleep who
awake easily may find it wise
when sleeping in a noisy neigh
borhood to stuff indicated cot
ton in the ears, which will keep
out noises and insure undisturb-
ed slumber.
Get into the don't care" mood.
Get into bed, Indifferent wheth-
er you are going to sleep or not,
and you will find generally as a
result that sleep will reward you.

If 1t We're Only Needed.

Here is little sermon we found
in one o f our exchanges this
week. 1t is so good that we pub
fish it:
Every time your neighbours
closet is open don't stretch your
neck to tell what you saw. Do
you ever stop to think that some
day tragedy may take up it's
Adobe in your home? Can't you
get it into your head that some
day the tongue of SANDER may
cut you like poisoned sword and
the whisper of neighbors be as
vineager to YOUR wounds? Mis-
fortune and disgrace may have
struck your neighbor but it does
not become you to get upon the
housetops and shout it out to
the world. You will have all
you can do to answer for your
own indiscretions. Some day
one near and dear to you may
fall the prison walls may open
to a son or the scarlet letter of
eternity blight daughter. When
a home is mourning over a trag-
edy, the best thing you can do is
to keep your mouth shut, unless
you can say something that will
come as a rift in the clouds.
Then again, you know you NAV
be no better than your neighbor.
The only difference is that thew
were caught, and you, up to date
have kept the sunlight away.
Be charitable to your neighbor as
you know not the hour nor the
day when the light will appear
in your sacred circle.

A Faithful Porter.

The major dropped into his
club in London one night with
three pieces of courtplaster on
his nose and an eye in half
mourning and was vainly impor-
tuned to divulge the cause. He
declined all condolences, but one
f.iend. to whom, in a weak mo-
ment, he related the circum-
stances under which he had re-
ceived his scars, told all about it
after the majors departure.
1t appears that he was stop
ping at an out-of-town hotel
where a crawny farmers son
had been engaged with no ex-
perience in hotel work, but with
a frame capable of caring for
his masters property during the
small hours and with a profound
sense of duty as we'll. The
weather was cold, and the major
asked the landlord to have a fire
made in his room at $50 the
next morning. AS is customary,
a slate was hung in the highway
containing directions for the
night porter regarding the time
guests were to be called to catch
early trains, etc., so the landlord
wrote upon the slate:
Fire 40 at $780,"
Next morning the major was
awakened by a loud knock at his
door. He shouted Come in, +"
for it was $50, and the porter
entered.
You're to git OUT" he said
briefly.
What do you mean?" asked
the major testify.
'I'll show you phwat I name, F."
remarked Pat, eff you don't git
mighty quick. I've orders to fire
you out at $50 and out we go. "

any way?" shouted the major,
sitting up in bed.
