WHY WE'RE KNOCKING AT

Philadelphia Public Ledger.1
The citizens OF the territories, in
pleading their eases, contend that in
the light of precedent there is no rea-
son why Arizona and New Mexico
should not become states. They each
have populations not only in excess
of many other territories at the time
of admission, but greater than some
states. The present population Of
Arizona, by close estimates. Is 200. 900.
the census Of 1900 having given 1t
l22,93l. It's mineral and agricultural
resources. abettcd by a splendid eli
mate, account for its growth. In area
IT Is ll3,200 square mites, or in ex-
cess OF any state but Texas, Cwallfor-
MIA and Montana. In extent it Is 3S5
by 800 miles. OF its population. less
than 20 per cent is foreign, and this
almost wholly Mexican. Negroes are
negligible as an element of its citi-
zcnship. There are some 10000 In
dams, many of these Industrious and
devoted to the arts of peace.
New Mexico is in every way larger
than Arizona. The former has an
area of 122,5S0 square miles. being
200 by 800 in extent. While in 1900
the census returns showed a popula-
ton of 1880, so rapid has been the
material progress That the present
population Is rated at half a million
While much of the land is fit only for
grazing, and other sections not even
Tit FOR that. 1t has wide valleys Of ex-
ceeding richness, has carried to a
science the art of irrigation, and PROV
acres once barren to be adapted

being augmented steadily. 1t is an

decision as to whether II IS good or
