DEMOCRATS WILL NOT SUBMIT.
(Phoenix Democrat

(PhoeniX Democrat
 There are always many newspa. per men in Washington who try to fill up the gaps in real news happen ings by sending out predictions, veil ed in facts already known.
 For instance Washington cores pondents sent out Saturday night a statehood story in which the state ment was made that congress would pass a statehood bill which would put in the hands of the president the power to reject the constitution if he desired.
 Now, congress is adjourned for the holidays, half of the senators and congressman are at home for Christ mas week and the newspaper men who sent out these telegrams are simply hot-air men filling up space. They don't know what congress will do any mere than the people of Ari. zona know what congress will do.
 Just at present the Hamilton bill is before the committee on territories Hamilton states that the hlll ~in be brought out of the committee early in January and will pass the house prac tically as reported by the committee Arizonans know that a bill backed by Cannon and a favorable committee re port usually goes through the lower house without much change. Hence we can feel satisfied that the senate will soon get the bill
 What the senate will do with thu bill is problematical. but the chances are that the kickers will undertak' to delay 1t with various schemes, bu that it will finally get to the floor fc a vote and will be passed.
 And it is certainty that 1t vii never pass with a clause inserte' that gives the president power to re

same time, explicit, definite and clear in construction; one that cannot be interpreted to suit the uses and de signs of those large interests that use the laws and constitutions to escape punishment for lawlessness and to cover dishonesty in big businesses, or to legalize confiscation of the pub lie domain and resources. We do not want a constitution of putty, nor one as unchangeable as granite. It may prove Tn years to nave defects or conditions may change so that cer. tain provisions should be modified or eliminated, and it ought therefore to be made reasonably easy to amend. These defects should not be made ir- remediable.
 The reason for soIicitude of east ern politicians over our constitution perhaps is because of the two sena, tersnIps from Arizona They want the new senators to be eligible par. ties to the category of Aldrich and Cannon, and not necessarily the style and character of men that the people of Arizona desire to have represent them If the constitutional output of the convention is gold-edged, copper hinged, and wears the corporate es- cutcheon, the east will feel that it is reasonably certain the two senators will fulfill the standpat requirements.
 Is this the way the republican par ty intends to keep its promises of separate and immediate statehood? If the republican party hopes to hold its place in the faith of the people of Arizona, it is time, and high time, that the leaders find way over the barricades and behind the entrench- ments of the secret opponents of statehood for political expediency.

THE BIG SHOW

Not withstanding the adverse criticisms of press and public the actors are agsi3 ensembled ready to go on with the
 main attraction. The overture has been played and there is great lis Appointment over the music. After listening almost daily for seven years to the thunderings of Theodore Roose- welt, as sounded through his volumi- nous messages to the Senate and

 enough to admit as much. A great

 President promises to deal with them in a series of special messages, and if

ONLY A GOVERNOR.

Governor Gilchrist of Florida, who was one of the many Governors ac- companying President Taft on his re cent trip down the Mississippi, has discovered a new definition which he will endeavor to have placed in all of the standard dictionaries. Here 1t is:
 Governor-A small potato.
 "At Cape GiraTdeau I got off the St. Paul expecting to accompany Presi- dent Taft to the State Normal School, !" he said.
 "A long line of automobiles was drawn up in the main street and eA- pected to ride in one of them.

TAFT AND HIS
 STATEHOOD CLUB.

Talk about RooseveIt's "big stick" should now fade away and make room for Taft's statehood club" The ad- ministration program seems to be to only allow Arizona and New Mexico to perform the duties of framing and adopting constitutions. Should these constitutions contain features objec- tionable to the president or the re- publicans in congress then they will be rejected and another chance given the territories to please the leaders of the republican congress. If this Is not high handed coercion then what is it? The people of Arizona should be left free to frame their own fundamental law which shall underlie the government of the new state, but it seems that this is not to be the case.
 When such a constitutional conven- tion meets in Phoenix we can see the republican bosses lowering around the convention hall waving the presi- dential statehood club" and pointing to this and that as a constitutional provision which will not be approved In Washington, The members of the constitutional convention will be in- formed that if this is put into the constitution Arizona will be kept out of the union and if that" is omitted the presidential favor will be withheld from the completed constitution.
 It is becoming more and more evi- dent that the republican leaders do not intend to permit the people of Arizona to come into the union ac- cording to the plan of admission of other territories, in that they are not to be left free in the work of making their fundamental law. No nor ? should be required of Arizona in tn. framing of a constitution than has been required from other territories when they were seeking the right of self-government. They should frame constitution according to the lines marked by the constitution of the United States and the declaration of independence; that should be requir- ed. and when such constitution is presented it should he approved and the new state admitted.
 If this is the republican statehood plan. as outlined by the Associated Press, Arizona is to be humiliated by being put ''on trial" to see whether the people of the territory possess 1 sufficient intelligence and patriotism to entitle them to self-government The people of no other territory were ever thus piIloried as probable incom petents during the process of theil admission to the rights of statehood

PATRoNIZING AIR IS NOT PLEASING
(Arizona Gazette)

Arizona Gazette)
 The East displays great and ma ternal solicitude over the kind of q constitution that Arizona will choose to tnake-particularly that controlling portion of the East which is led by Aldrich, Cannon and other friends of the special interests.
 The feeling in Congress, as reflect ed by a dispatch yesterday, is that the two territories should be given a chance to try their hand in making constitutions for the consideration of the president. If we can frame such document as will please the chief magistrate, there may be two states before another Christmas; otherwise, probably not. As the president stated when in Arizona, he does not want us to be hampered with a con ,stitution placing restrictions and linn 'itations on legislatures and local gov ernment. This is likewise the senti- ment in congress.
 The attitude of these Fasteners is that of a mother country to her newest infant colony. It indicates that they regard us as too young, too Inexperienced, too much like child in governmental affairs to be really trusted with so large a responsibility as that of drawing up constitution under which we are to live. This pat ronfzing manner is not very pleas ing.
 Arizona is better qualified to make good than some of the down East states, where they have run in a rut for the last century till the wheel of progress in law-making is up to the hub in provincial and antiquated en- actments, dead-letter laws, forms and customs as ancient and inefectual as witchcraft, and which cannot be ex- purgated Arizona Is made up of citi- zens who come from every state in the union, who are more or less fa- miIiar with the constitutions, good and bad features, of them all. If the East vii permit us to make con stitution, without holding the club of executive disapproval over our heads, such a constitution will be drafted as wIn not only reflect credit on the in
 diligence of our people, but insure to he future state good and salutary
 ews and regulations whereby the people will rule and regulate what needs regulation, conserve what lshouid be conserved, and assure all linen. rich and poor, that equality be
 fore the law which the Declaration
 of independence and the Constitution of the United States guarantees.
 We want a constitution not neces sarily restrictive, nor with great linn itations on government, but at thr
