TAX ISSUE POSSIBLY MIGHT DELAY
 STATEHOOD
Nevertheless Outlook Is Considered Very
 Bright

That the way is about cleared for the admission of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico as states is the feeling now of friends of state hood for the two territories, according to Washington, D. C., advices.
 Congressman Hamilton, chairman of the house committee on territories, is planning to push the bill for sd- mission of the territories at the ear Hest possible moment when congress meets. He hopes to have it passed by the house before the adjournment of congress for the Christmas holi- days.
 While the course of the measure in the senate will not be so easy as in the house, the supporters of state hood think it will go through.
 One of the two sources of possiDle trouble for the statehood bill can be discovered, however, and it is not en- tirely unlikely they may prove seri- ous.
 One lies in the fact that if Arizona and New Mexico are admitted it will require thirteen states instead of twelve to defeat the income tax amendment to the constitution.
 It is likely the two proposed new states would be for the income tax and the opponents to such a tax might feel that it would be just as well to prevent admission, or lay such obstacles as they could in the path of it.
 Besides this, there is the fact that eastern senators may look on the two proposed new states as likely to add to the strength of the democratic and insurgent opposition to the old senate leadership. If they take this view, they may conclude to hamper admis- sion in every way possible.

PLENTY IF SPORT SCHEDULED THIS
 WEEK
Celebration Committee Completes Its
 Program
From TuesdaY,s Dailyl

Outside of the big baseball tour nament which is mentioned in detail in another column, there will be an abundance of amusement for all who attend the three days celebration to be held this week. This will be a far bigger affair than the one held on Labor day, which was unfortunate ly curtailed on account of the muddy streets.
 At meeting of the executive com mittee yesterday afternoon at the sheriff's office, it was decided to re- store the hose race to the program. It was learned that a good team could be mustered out of the various companies, the Clifton visitors being the proud possessor of a 11-seeond sprinter. There are some crack hose men in the Yuma company and they are eager to get into any sort of a contest whether straightaway or the wet test.
 Clifton also has three sturdy Scotch giants who will be the nucleus of a tug -of-war team from that company. There will be another team made up from the militia and Prescott will probably enter the tournament.
 A grand ball on Friday night is one of the features. Shumate will supply the refreshments and the Smith Emanuel orchestra the music Tickets will be S1.50.
 A number of local horsemen have raised a purse for Fred Moore, who will ride an untamed broncho with out saddle or bridle, the animal se- leeted being the one which nc one could ride at the park on Labor day.
 Whether there will be an automo- bile race has not yet been definitely settled.
 A number of citizens have secured the Elks' theater and will tender a smoker to the militia on either Thurs day or Saturday evening.

 Among the visitors to the city yes terday was John Brennan, who came in from the Junction. "Johnny," as he is familiarly called, is one of the oldest of the Hassayampers and in cidentally he is also one of the young est, if personal appearance goes for anything.
 Inspected Mine Work.
 A. C. Gilmore, one of the original owners of the Zero group of mines, near the Hassayampa, has returned from an examination of the work gO- ing on by leasers, recent rich strikes attracting him again to that ground. He expresses himself as pleased with the development and also the output that is in evidence.
 Stole Some Bread.
 Three kids of tender years, two col ored and one white, were before Judge McLane yesterday and after a severe reprimand were permitted to go home. They were accused of stealing three ioaves of bread from the Home bak- cry and each confessed to the crime. As they left the room, one of the happy little fellows said, "Ain't Judge MeLane a pippin?" Mine Official Arrives.
 Harry Heasley, secretary and treas urer of the Penn-Arizona Mining com pany, operating at Walker the Mud hole mine, arrived in the city Fri day morning from Pittsburg, Pa, and in the afternoon went to his com pany's camp. He will remain for a few days. MT. Heasley is well known to many in this city, and was for merly with the Octave Mining com pany near Weaver.
 Important Mine Work.
 Charles K. Mellon, a young mining engineer of Philadelphia, who is in terested with Harry Brown in an important mining project near Colum- bia, reached the city yesterday and returns to start operations at once on their properties. He is enthusias- tic over the future of his interests and will go to the properties on Mon day Mir. Brown will leave this morn ing, travelling on horseback via Crown King.

The Mar Over.

al want to thank you for your fine edi-
tcrial in last Friday mornings Herald. in
defence Of the actions of our governor
and other officials in their invitation to
Bennett II. Young to be the guest of st.
Adams at the coming celebration.
Ut appeals to me IS q fine demonstra-
ton of brotherly love, a Willingness to
forgive, and is in direct harmony with
the Masters command. Love thy neigh
Dor as thyself,' and il is a command that
can not be ignored il we wish this world
to be made better"
The above was received from a sub
scriber OF the Herald in Rutland and so
exactly touches the spirit that this paper
would exalt in connection with national
affiliations that it is published bereN it'll.
The younger generation of Vermonters
and Americans may we'll give careful
heed to the sentiment expressed therein.
With the memories and antsgonisms of
war days, we have no quarrel whatever.
Those were stirring and striving times.
The fratricidal strife between the North
and South was a national calamity and
we of the North have a right to insist,
quietly, that the South was everlastingly
wrong. The great conflict was necessary,
as settling for all time the solidarity Of a
handful OF loosely associated states.
These United States, in their present
indivisible supremacy, might have been
impossible without submitting to the ad-
Indication of arms the questions that
then disturbed the union; today, let us
never forget that we are one people, one
blood and one great nation.
1t is natural that some bitterness of a
great strife should remain in the hearts
OF those who suffered the horrors OF rebel
prisons, who gave up their youth and
manhood to the cause of the union, who
guarded their homes from the threatened
nightly terrors of the raider, the ravisher
and the guerrilla, who followed their
friends and brethren to a CORY lest on
Southern battlefelds. 1t was a very real
thing to them, and the outrages and ex-
cesses of wartime are not to be brushed
aside in an offband or careless fashion.
And so we find no fault whatever with
the old soldiers who experience a feeling
OF personal outrage when the Confederate
raider, most execrated and despised in
Vermont wartime. is invited to func-
ton OF patriotism in Vermont city.
At the same time, let us be careful that
we do not undertake to perpetuate the
war feeling in our hearts, that we do not
needlessly reopen the nearly healed
wounds that kept the North and South
apart for nearly half century.
There is q spirit Of "fergive and for
get'' in the land today. There is g feel
ing that not only the descendants of the
gray-clad Confederates, but such of the
rebel soldiers as now remain alive are as
loyal in their hearts, as devoted to the

The ST. Alhans RaId.

Thomas II. Marvin. now a resident OF
Arlington, n. j., writes an interesting
letter to his niece, Mrs. E. p. Smith OF
Essex Junction, concerning his vivid ex-
periences in connection with the how're
called st. Adams raid
''On that rainy day in October, 1864. l
was on my way from my store in the
Gadcomh block to the First National
bank, corner of Fairfield and Main

coI. Youna's WIthdramal.

The expected has happened in the with
draws al by Col Bennett n. Young OF
Louisville, KY, of his acceptance to
speak in st. Adams during the Cham
plain tercentenary celebration; and we
are of the opinion that Vermont will be
ashamed, terribly ashamed, of the minor
ity sentiment which raised such a protest
as to make il incumbent on q self-respect-
ing man to refuse the engagement.
While Col. Young's participation in the
st. Adams raid looked to Vermonters at
the time like a mere guerrilla incursion
and without any definite plan OF cam
paign and without sanction, perhaps,
from the Confederacy, historians record
that Col. Young was regularly commits
sioued officer in the Confederate army,
that the st. Adams raid was part of a des-
perate chance of the Confederacy to re-
coup its waning fortunes of war and that
it was recognized at the time by the Con-
federate government. We sincerely re-
greet this slap in the face to a worthy citi-
zen Of the Stars and Stripes, and we re-
greet more the tendency to reopen the old
wounds which we're SO happily healing.
AT this late date, officers in the old
Union army are not 50 stability treated
in the South as Col. Young has been
treated here, and the South suffered inn
measureabiy more from guerrilla warfare
and individual depredations than was
melted out to st. Adams back in 1854.
Yet because we felt the sting of one little
ineursion some Of us refuse to accept the
hand of peace.-Barre Times

fortunate fer the state. 1t is an unusual

courteously recalled his acceptance.

Unpatriotie Though

Some OF the rising generation OF st. AL
bans, VT, who have paid too little atten-
ton to the history of their country, have
extended an invitation to Gen. Bennett
II. Young of Louisville, KY, to add TO
the interest of the celebration of the ter
centenary Of the discovery Of Lake Cham
plain, July 5, by giving a replica of the
raid which be made upon the village in
1854, when, with q posse OF men, he
crossed from Canada, terrorized the coun-
try, robbed the banks and carried of
some S20s, 900 in gold and gresnbacks.
The program is for baud, representing the
raiders. to come in from Canada at 3
O'Clock and be reviewed by Gen. Young,
rho is also set down as one of the orators
OF the OCCASION Naturally. this PROPOSE
tion raises a vehement protest from the
Vermont veterans, who see the distinct
difference between Young's raid and the
regular operations OF the Confederate
army. Young's raid was like that Of the
Younger brother, Quantrell and others,
not a military operation in any sense, but
q marauding expedition for private bene-
fit. 1t contributed nothing whatever to
the success of the Confederate armies,
and was not authorized as a military op-
Grafton. 1t could not have had any mill
tary end in view, and therefore was sim
ply brigandage, such as is severely repri-
manded and punished by the military au-
thorities on both sides. II the misguided
young people would study the history Of
the war a little, they would understand
the wide distance there is between mill
tary operations and brigandage and muir
der which are committed by private par
ties taking advantage of the state of war.
Mr.. Ynung's performance was no more
an act OF war than hold-up of a passen-
ger train on a Western railroad is an act
OF government regulation. Had Mr..
Young been captured, be would have
been very properly shot as a brigand.
The ill-informed people who extended the
invitation should lose no time in cancel
ing such as an act of the worst OF bad
taste.-New York Exchange.
