Dower for New States.

A Washington dispatch says In the new statehood bill, approved by Speaker Cannon, after long conference with Delegate Andrews and consultation with Delegate, Mark Smith and Delegate elect Ralph Cameron, New Mexico and Arizona each get about eight million acres of public land for public educa' ton. This will reduce the taxes of each territory to about one-half of what it is now, as the public lands for school purposes will support the public schools, so that all school taxes may be elimin' ated. The amount of cash will be the next thing agreed upon. It will 'proba' bly be about five million dollars to each territory. This ought to. reduce the taxes about one-third. This bill will pass the house by practically a unan imous vote.

Warning Republican Factions.

The announcement of the departure of Colonel Sturges for Washington a few days ago raises the presumption that the mission of the colonel has to do with the fight to be made on Gov ernor Kibbey. says the Bisbee Review. It is reported in Tucson that q number of affidavits have been forwarded from that city and Phoenix which will be presented to the senate committee on territories before the final confirmation of Kibbey is brought up for consideras ton. Just what matters tSese afiida- wits cover has not been givel out, but it is believed that some of then refer to acts of Judge Kibbey yeaEs ago when he was a judge in the territory. While there was seemingly a peace pact during the campaign last fall between the factions of the republican party hN this territory there seems to be dis position to again dig up the political tomahawk and wield it more fereely than ever in the fight for the offices which will be coming to Arizona repub- licans under the administration of President Taft.

A VERY HANDY MAN.
(Albuquerque Jonrnal.)


 Governor Kibbey of Arizona is a very handy man to have around He has al ready drafted an enabling act by which his territory is to be brought into the union as state, and now he is going to Washington to see about it. The passing of the act by congress will, of course, be mere formality, and then one more trip to Washington to talk 1t over with the president. and get his proclamation of administration, and there you are with the state of Arizona yanked into the Union nolens volens, without bothering the people of that commonwealth about it at all.
 It is a grand scheme, and we can only see one vulnerable spot in it. That is the constitutional convention. IL 's a great waste of time, labor and money to call convention to adopt a consti- tuition, when an executive order would do just as we'll And, besides, what ust does Arizona have for a constitution anyhow, so long as she has Kibbey

The people of Globe will feel their bosoms swell with pride when the little theater in Oak street again opens its doors. J. B.

In large panel in the center is picture of strangely familiar scene, thrilling race in the amphitheater that is more or less reminiscent of Ben Hur s famous race with the Messala.

It is already apparent that one of the most bitter fights of the session will be the one wagcd by the prohibitionists ot the territory. They are anxious for a law which will secure prohibition m any city or precinct by majority vote in it's favor. In Phoenix monster peti- tion is being circulated among the churches, and is being signed by ap' proximately all the members. A few members of churches have refused tI sign on the ground that unless two thirds majority is secured local option law would be ineffective by reason of a lack of sufficiently strong public opin ion to insure the enforcement of thu law.

Fair City Threatened With Inuasion of
 White Rats

Globe is threatened by an invasion of white rats. There seems to be no escape, nothing to do but "take to the hills. And, painful as may be the admission, candor eompels the state ment that the fault is all that of the Salvation Army. A little more shan year ago, a negro named Davis was sentenced to life imprisonment for kill- ing State Jones, another negro. Saiva- ton Army members visited Davis in the jail, exhorting him to repentance and seeking to encourage him to bear his punishment, all of which was in ac- cord with the heavenly precepts.' But Davis was very much depressed and Tn order to make life little brighter for him, one of the Salvation Army mem bers presented him with pair of white rats. Davis did not take much bag gage with him when he went to Yuma. He left the white rats behind. The | trouble has been brewing, or, more ae- euratcly speaking, breeding, ever since. The county jail is now infested with white rats It is impossible to take a census of the herd, but there are hum dreds of them. They have undermined the floor, burrowed in the walls, and in hot weather the "aroma v will be over towering. Sometimes the prisoners, planning a concerted attack, climb upon their cots and keep very still. In few minutes the floor will be white with rats, dozens and scores and hundreds of them, and there is fierce onslaught with shoes and other weapons. The rats cannot get out of the jail, If they wished, but--and here s the appalling feature of their dreadful tale-twenty of them were caught by the prisoners and set at liberty outdoors when the wood was being brought in some days ago. Here is the horrible thought that arises with the dastardly act of these avowed "enemies of society,": If one
 pair of white rats multiplied in the county jail, under the most unfavorable conditions, what in the world will be the consequences of ten pair of them
 turned loose under this glorious sky
 at full liberty to roam about at will and feast on the fat of the landi Yer fly, there seems to be no hope for Globe

To Amend Bounty Law.

The bill amending the wild animal bounty law is liable to slip through both houses of the legislature almost without dissenting vote. So far as understood the new law makes the pay, ment of bounty optional with she board of supervisors of each county, and it reduces the bounty on bob cats from $5 to $1. More than that amount never ought to have been paid. It is almost safe to say that not less than $75, ,000 was paid in Arizona last year for scalp bountes. Such amount seems almost incredible, but from the figures at hand it can hardly have been less.
