tant State, which would warrant them
in saying as much. Mr.. Reed heard
which the Congressman in question, in
replying to a letter from Mr.. Clapp
asking his endorsement, said he had
received a letter from Mr.. Grant ac-
knowledging that he was under finan-
cial obligations to certain gentlemen
who wanted Mr.. Luther appointed,
and Therefore his endorsement of Luz
Their would have to stand. IN point
of fact, this story about the letter
said to be in Mr.. Clapp's possession,
was regarded as the most interesting
development of the day, if not of the
entire controversy, and it is assumed
that Mr.. Grant will lose no time in ex-
planning that the story is ABSOLUTELY
false"

he had not pushed his claims, and IA

Mrs Reed said this morning that
she would make no further statement,
since she could only reiterate previous
declarations of being innocent of any
intent to bride Mr.. Grant. She
thinks if she had sought to 'bribe"

Just a Common Blackeuard

The speech of Representative Will lett of New York, assailing the president, lost all its force by the nature of the arraignment. The speaker simply established that he is natural blackguard of the vilest police court billingsgate vendor. The house should have stopped him sooner than it did-should have stopped him as it would had he been deformed physically and had insisted upon disrobing to show to congress and the world how hideous was his nakedness, only that a de- formed soul is a more fearful thing thing to contemplate than a de- formed body.
 Whatever he said will not much affect the president, but it showed that the speaker has no conception of his duty as representative, and it was disgrace to the constituency that elected him their representa- tive, for above all things, the house of representatives should be made up of gentlemen, and the speech of Willett makes clear that he has not the slightest conception of the con- stituent attributes of gentleman -Goodwin's Weekly.

Statehood Bill Introduced

The long expected bill providing for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to separate statehood was introduced in the house last Saturday by Representative Ed L.. Hamilton of Michigan. The bill provides almost exactly similar conditions for the admission of the two territories, the chief difference being the apportionment of two representatives in congress to sup posedly republican New Mexico and one to supposedly democratic Arizona.
 The bill as presented is the work of the republican members of the committee on territories, though it has been presented to democratic members, who are said to agree to practically all of the provisions. In the bill provision is made for the calling of elections in each of the territories for the election of delegates to frame a constitution and to call an election upon it. The convention for New Mexico is to consist of 100 delegates; that for Arizona of 52 delegates. The ap- portionment of delegates is in the hands of the governors, chief jus tices and secretaries of the terri tories. The elections are to be ordered within 30 days after the approval of the bill and to take place within 60 days from it's ap- proval. The bill provides for hold ing these elections under the usual election laws of the territories. There may be democratic fight against this provision because there is no Australian ballot in New Mexico.
 The constitutional convention is to meet early in November, the del egates to have 60 days. In the case of each territory $1OO,OOO is appropriated for the expenses of

"Why Girls Leave Home"

Every parent, especially mothers, every brother ar sister, every girl or boy inclined to think they are not treated we'll or appreciated at home, and every town smart dub ought to have been at the Grand last night to learn "Why." in many instances at least. "Girls Leave Home," says the Portland Telegram. Every lecherous eyed man ought to have been there to see what rightly belongs to him. Doubtless many stayed away from the play for fear of something risque or suggestive. True, there was the suggestive, but nothing in- delicate.
 The play is based on actual facts and portrays conditions that are about us every day, owing to lack of judgment in training both girls and boys, and teaching the fact that love tempered with good. hard sense, instead of a club, will win where harsh means fail in the reclamation of the wayward one who has not yet taken the fata step.
 The play was good, the plot was good, the acting was good, and it was not overstaged or overdone.

LETTER FROM CAMERON

The editor of THE NEWS received personal letter from Hon. Ralph H. Cameron, from which we give the following excerpts:
 "As you correctly surmise. have an abundance of work that will keep me busy for some time to come. If the work keeps increas- ing at the present rate, I hardly know how I will be able to handle it when I take my seat in congress. My secretary, MT. Zachau, and 1 are at our desks every day and practically every night of the week but we have excellent facilities for handling the work, as we have been assigned to room 493 in the new house of representatives office build ing, in spite of the fact that we are not entitled to anything until the 4th of March, and we have every convenience and are in close prox unity to the capitol, which enables us to handle our work with more dispatch.
 "I have been devoting most of my time and efforts to the state hood matter, which has been thor oughly gone over in the house com mittee on territories, and the bill was introduced in the house Sat. urday, where it will undoubtedly pass without much difficulty. The bill may encounter some oIposi- tion in the senate, but we hope, through diligent efforts, to be able to overcome that. You may rest assured that we are losing no more time than is necessary in this mat ter, and National Committeeman Sidney Bieber, of the District of Columbia, who has spent consider able time in Arizona, and is deeply interested in it's welfare, is render ing invaluable services in connec- ton with members whom no out slider could approach and is assist ing me in my method of procedure; consequently it looks like an as- sured fact that Arizona will be a state before the 4th of March.
 "The bill which had introduced providing for a bridge across the Little Colorado river at or near Tanners crossing, also looks as if it would become a law at this short session. The senate committee has reported favorably on this measure, and there is now no known obsta- cle standing in it's way. This bill will provide for a long felt want in transportation facilities in the east ern part of Coconino county.
 "I feel very jubilant over the sit uation in general and can see a great and glorious future for the new state of Arizona"
