STATEHOOD.

With Arizona and New Mexico clam
oring for statehood, and with the
statehood bill already through the
House of Representatives, the indica-
lions are that the conservative, Re-
publican senate will again throw obsta-
Giles in the way of the two territories
and will kill their hopes of admission
to the union at this session of Con-
gress. For years the neighboring ter
ritories have knocked in vain at the
door of the union. The latchstring
has not been out for them and their
advances have been rudely repulsed.
They have asked for a single star on
the flag and have asked for two stars.
Congress has not been sufficiently gen
erous to grant either request Cuba
has been given the right of self gov
eminent, the Philippines have receIy-
ed privileges little dreamed of other
territories have been admitted, but
there has been no concessions for Ar
izona and New Mexico
While the population of neither ter
ritory is especially large, that fact in
itself should be no bar to their admit |
lance It is probable that the popula- |
ton will not rapidly increase under |
present conditions, as capital does not |
care to invest where future govern
ment is uncertain. No better reason |
for statehood could be assigned than
that commercial prosperity will fol-
ow in its wake. There is much reason
10 assume that politics is responsible
,or the backwardness of Congress.
L is feared that in the election OF
United States Senators the Democrats
would have an advantage. A Repub-
lean Senate will hardly have the mag
lanimity to grant to these territories
he privilege that has been conceded
IS the right of all others.

EVERY ONE a PATRIOT.

The passage OF the election reform
bills BY the senate on yesterday dem
onstrated again the material Of which
the majority faction is composed.
Like true men, full grown. they dened
the political machine and restored, so
tar as lay within their power. the con-
stitutional prerogatiye of governing
themselves TO the masses. That they
did so at some personal sacrifice is
assured. Had an ear been open to the
whisper OF expediency there is no
loubt but that any one OF the loyal
seventeen could have found it worth
ais while to have cast a dissenting
tote. With the fortitude OF a Brutus
and the courage of Lee, each man
played well his part and fulfilled his
mission. Taunts of being disloyal TO
Democracy. of forming a coalition
with Republicans, did not deter Dem
)cratic members from voting as their
,onsciences dictated they should.
The four Republicans who voted
with the Democrats have been assailed
bitterly and unnecessarily. Despite
all this, solemn obligations were not
ignored Every one of the seventeen
Is a patriot.

UP TO PATTERSON.

Governor Malcolm R. Patterson. who
during his stormy career has beer
brought face to face with a number Of
questions that he would no doubt
have been pleased to side step, is
now confronted with still another diff
| ficult problem, the solution of which
may cause him to often walk the
weary lengths of the executive man
sion. He must decide, and that before
next Friday, whether or not he will
sign the election bills which last
week passed the General Assem-
bly,. 1t is not merely a question of
exercising his right arm, and spread
ing around at various angles enough
black ink to stand for the executive
signature. If the dilemma could be
disposed of SO easily the red chieftain
on the hill would in all probability
have had the message properly goose
quilted and at the door of the senate
when it was thrown open today. But
the music is to be faced The COVER
nor must either right about face and
meet himself coming back, or must
sign bills that will shear the
machine, of which he is the legitimate
head, of any advantage that could be
derived from retaining control of the
ballot box.
Time and again has the governor
gone on record as favorlng a direct
primary. No voice has sounded the
danger of election manipulation in
more stentorian tones than his. Not
only has he stood boldly up as the
advocate of honest elections, but his
right bower, his trusted man Friday,
John |. Cox, who comes at beck and
call regardless Of vituperation and
abuse, has also voiced the same senti.
ments.
Above all other considerations, IL
Governor Patterson's love of self and
MS notions of consistency do not |
offer a barrier to the vetoing of the
bills, there is this for him to
hink on-the legislature will surely
enact the laws, and what's the use OF
getting hit again.

IN LIONS HIDE.

On the front page of today's Daily
Herald is published an exhaustive re-
view of the states finances. The ar
ticle is written by Mr.. ]. l. Finney,
who is too well known here to need
recommendation. 1t is a complete
expose of the liquor mans cry that
the state will suffer embar-
rassment from the loss OF
revenue derived from the liquor traf-
fic. 1t is shown in the article that
increased assessments, together with
the natural increase in wealth, more
than Offset for this year the loss in
revenue, and will nearly do so in 1910
1t is also made clear that after 1910
the annual sum paid into the state
treasury will be considerably larger
than the amount received last year,
when the saloons were in full blast
in the big cities.
The specious plea of the saloon for
Its perpetuation for commercial rea-
sons is blasted by this concise state
ment of conditions as they are. The
voice of the beast is recognized,
though he wears the lions hide.

1t is a queer predicament in which

finds himself Far back on the dusty
shelves of the constitution has been
located provision that debars any
United States senator from accepting
an office the salary of which has been
raised during his term of Office With
a thoughtlessness born of due consid-
Grafton for the public veal, and no
doubt little suspecting that he would
ever be placed in a position where he
became a direct beneficiary of a law
that he had helped enact, the Senator
from Pennsylvania voted to swell the
salary of secretary of state at the
expense of the national treasury. Now
that he is in line for the position he
must wait until the salary is again
lowered by the legislative derrick or
else curb any ambition which he may
cherish for the portfolio of state. It
Is an embarrassing position. II he

DR.. FOLKS SERMON.

In a sermon delivered at the First
Baptist church Of Columbia Sunday
morning DR.. E. E. Folk, editor of the
Baptist and Reflector, and one
of the most aggressive workers
in the entire stat for the aboli-
ton of the saloon, pointed a
strong moral from the assassination
of Senator Edward Ward Carmack.
He preached from the text And we
know that all things work together for
good to them that love Cod
After using a number of illustra-
tions, that brought wildly before the
minds eye the beautiful thought which
the scripture conveys, DR.. Folk re-
ferred to Senator Carmack's death
as real blessing to mankind, although
an apparent calamity. He pointed
out that the blood Of the martyred
statesman crying aloud for vengeance
had resulted in the accomplishment
of the two great purposes for which
he had labored during the best days
of his life-the publication of politics
and the abolition of the saloon. The
idea which DR.. Folk set forth in his
peculiarly eloquent way is one well
worth pondering-that through the
stress and storm of life there is a |
master hand at the helm guiding the |
destinies of men, and that right lives
on after its defenders are cold In the
voiceless tomb.

thousand societies and three and a
half million members have been pray
ing and laboring to that end.
We are here 10 .refiew in the brief
est possible way the record of these
years.
Each year, with the steady multi
plication of our own and kindred
societies, we feel that we have come
to the end of any great numerical
increase in our fellowship. And still
we find that we have not yet taken
possession of all the land.
At the Seattle convention IL was
my privilege to report total enroll
ment of ,13S societies, with a mem
bership of 3,456.900 This great
host has been stin further increased
by the addition of 1885 societies,
with a membership of 94,200. max
ing our present net enrolment I ,493
societies with 3,551.1e0 members.
Practically all the evangelical de-
nominations are represented in this
worldwide fellowship. The Pres
byterians still hold the first place,
with an enrolment, including Junior,
Intermediate. and Young Peoples,
of l0,19S societies. Next come the
Disciples, who by the united, enthu-
siastic interest of pastors, church
leaders. and young people. have cap
tured the second place from the Con-
gregationalists, with the magnificent
total of T,14S societies. The Con-
gregationalists are now third. with
6.454 societies. After we get through
analyzing and criticising the move
ment--I speak as Congregationalist
which in the providence of God we
had the honor of giving TO the world
we shall take hold of II and push il in
a way that will make the leaders look
out for their laurels.
Next come the Baptists with their
splendid squadron of 3.497 societies.
which will be largely increased when
il is generally understood that no or
ganization can be more loyal to its
own church than Christian Endeavor.
which at the same time maintains
brotherly relations with the other di-
visions of the Lords army.
Neither time nor space will permit
the enumeration of the long list of
denominations and their subdivisions
that are represented in our move
ment. When Christian Endeavor has
done its perfect work their number
will be smaller. but their strength
and effectiveness will be greater.
