WHY WERE THEY SHUT OUT9

What a shameful climax New
Mexico has brought in her eager
ness for statehood! AS yet it is not
clear on what grounds both New
Mexico and Arizona have been shut
out, the only tangible reason being
that New Mexico had a lobby in
Washington to urge her claims; that
in itself is nothing criminal. We
suspect the wooden manufacturers
have had strong delegation in
Washington all winter to fight for a
retention of the tariff on wool.
New Mexico is a long way from
Washington and it was but natural
for her to send men to explain the
features of the Territory which make
her a rightful applicant for state
hood. Did they go beyond that?
New Mexico has waited thirty years
for statehood. She can afford to
wait still longer, but neither she
nor Arizona can afford to have it
said they were kept out because of
the ,crookedness of her politicians.
We look for some rather stormy
protests from both Territories in the
next few days. Surely a great in
justice has been worked upon Ari-
A6ha. BY the last United Stats

know nor care for whom or what
they are voting.
The law may disfranchise a few
old timers who should have the right
to vote, but it is far better for these
few to suffer than for the entire
Territory to longer endure the
method of voting heretofore in
vogue. 1t will not only make the
ballot box more sacred, but will also
act as a great stimulus for educa-
ton. If such a law had been passed
twenty-five years ago, there would
not be an American citizen in Ari-
zona who could not read and write.
Graham guardian., 1909-03-12
STATEHOOD DEFEATED

The sixtieth congress has ad,
journed and Arizona is still Terri
tory. There never was a chance
for the statehood bill to come out
of the Senate committee to which il
was consigned for burial, with Bev'
eridge as the official undertaken.
Senator'S Beveridge and Nelson
brought forward evidence of cor,
ruption, jury bribing and other Of
fenses. by officials in New Mexico,
which the committee deemed suffi.
cient to prevent their even consider
ing the bill, stating that the in
formation regarding New Mexico's s
unfitness for statehood should be
thoroughly investigated, and there
was no time to go into the matter
this session.
1t is pity that Arizona, against
whom no charges can be brought,
should have to suffer for New Mex
ico's sins. 1t would be better in
any circumstance if the people of
Arizona should go ahead alone in
the fight for statehood, for it seems
that the very reasons why the peo-
pie of Arizona voted against joint
statehood, are those that the Senate
committee deemed sufficient to pre-
vent consideration of the bill at the
last session of Congress.
One thing the people of Arizona
do know and that is that Mark
Smith kept his word and worked
hard for the passage of the bill,
winning words of praise from his
colleagues in Congress, who did not
hesitate to eulogize him on the floor
of the House of Representatives.
All honor to Mark Smith for his
grand efforts to secure justice for
Arizona.

SOME sIDELIGHTS ON THE
GAMBLING LAW

Women playing cards for prize
at clubhouse are as much amend
able to the anti-gambling act a.
the men playing poker in club fol
money or drinks"
This is the opinion of District At
torney Williams, which he expressed
in a recent interview.
Ever since the law was put in
effect here there has been specula
ton as to the construction that the
district attorney would place upon
this phase.
will this sweeping law be ap.
plicable to card playing in tncorpora-
ed clubs?"
"Assuredly it WILL" replied he,
If, however, you or any other man
or woman chooses to invite a party
of your friends to gather at your
house to play cards for a prize,
neither the guests nor yourself can
be touched so long as there is no
personal loss for them involved.
They might play stud poker for a
prize if they so wished.
"Raffles, whether for a church, a
lodge or for private benefit, will
come under the law, and those en-
gaging in or promoting them will
be as amendable to the law as if
they were playing poker. Pool
games, bowling, golf, lawn tennis,
or any other game of skill in which
payment of a certain fee for play
ing is involved can be considered
gambling, unless each participant
bears their portion of the expense
of the games. That is my opinion.
Say, for instance, that two men are
playing golf and the cost is fifty
cents round the course, the only
way they can evade the letter of the
law is to divide the cost evenly.
IF a, cup or other trophy is
offered for contest OF skill, we will
say a billiard game or bowling con-
test, so long as no entrance fee is
demanded, and the element of
chance of personal loss is kept out,
l cannot see how it could be con-
strued as gambling. Say, however,
that you offer trophy yourself and
then enter the competition for it,
there is an element of personal loss,
and you are liable under the law.
If game of golf is to be played
for trophy and your entrance fee
is used to defray the cost of the
trophy for the match, that would be
under the statute strictly
That is the opinion l hold of the
law. 1t may be that | am wrong.
Various courts throughout the
country place different construction
upon what constitutes gambling. 1t
IS probable that the law will be
tested soon. international.

VOTING QUALIFICATION

The democratic majority of the
legislature have good cause to be
proud of the passage of the Hamp-
ton educational qualification bill.
The governor vetoing this bill made
Of it strictly party measure from
every point of view, and the DEM
ocrats of the Territory may well
congratulate themselves on having
men in the legislature who have
stamina enough to pass such reform
measures.
The argument of the republicans,
when the bill was returned to the
legislature with the governors veto,
was that such law would disfran-
chise a lot of old timers, whose lives
have been devoted to the develop
ment of the Territory, which would
be great injustice.
The democrats enacted the bill
into law over the governors veto
on the ground that such a law will
eliminate large vote that is always
controlled by individuals or corpora
tions for their own benefit. In
other words, it will do more toward
purifying our elections than all other
laws heretofore enacted. There

THE FLEET DID NOT FORGET

That was a superb home coming
of the fleet on February 22d. They
were all in perfect form and when
the thousands of their countrymen
shouted their welcomes, in solemn
majesty their great guns returned
the welcomes as though the thrill
of the homecoming had infected
those steel war engines and given a
new splendor to their all halls"
But one incident of the day has not
been enough dwelt upon. When the
guns were roaring, bands playing;
when the flags were being dipped
and the acclaims of thousands of
voices were rending the air, sud-
denly as the noon hour struck, for
moment silence fell, then out of
the hush, from every one of the
great ships came the solemn salute
of twenty.one guns to the memory
of the first great president. What
an answer to his words: In time
of peace prepare for war;" Each
gun answered, affirming its pre-
paredness; each ship was an object
lesson to show that, at least in part,
his words had been needed, and that
the Great Republic is alert and
stronger than ever before; that a
reverence deeper than ever goes
out to the flag whose first baptism
under a battle canopy was carried
by him.
For a hundred and ten years the
dust of him, who in life was George
Washington, has been resting in the
simple sarcophagus at Mount Ver-
non, but never vessel passes up or
down the Potomac that its bell is
not tolled when passing that spot,
and on Monday last when the fes-
tivities were at their height in the
lower Chesapeake bay; all were
stopped to follow the rule which is
the rule of all American warships,
that the presidents twenty-one guns
might be fired from each vessel, and
the flags dipped in honor of the
natal day of the father of his coun-
try. We know of nothing just like
that in history. The character of a
man grown so strong, as it is studied,
that after he has been asleep in the
grave for hundred and ten years;
a matchless. exultant fleet, while re-
ceiving the welcomes of thousands,
when the noon hour
strikes, remembers that the day is |
the anniversary of the birth of it's
first Commander in Chief, and paus-
ing in its celebration, opens all its
solemn guns and dips its flags to
the immortal memory.
1t is lesson for every American
boy; every American boy should, so !
soon as possible, go to Mount Ver-
non to learn, while looking at the
simple sepulchre there, that it is |
possible for every earnest American
boy to earn for himself Immortality, |
if he but possesses the brain, the
heart, the courage, the integrity and |
patriotism, to win it.-Goodwin's S |

MINE YIELDS ITS SECRET
GROUPED IN DARKNESS $50 DEAR
MINERS WERE FOUND.
Miners Declare Reverse Fans Wern
the Cause of This Terrible
Sacrifice of Life.

CHERRY, Practically all the
bodies of the men who persisted In
the Cherry disaster were found this
morning on the stair case at the
mouth of the third or lower level
One hundred and sixty-eight bodies
were found, leaving about score
to be accounted for.
The bodies were in a great tangled
mass, completely blocking the stair
case leading from the third to the
second vein, and few were scat
tered along the vein where they had
dropped before reaching the stair
way.
Black damp was the cause of the
mems death, all means of escape hav-
ing been blocked by debris falling
and covering the top of the stair case.
The men died as they tried to push
through the distractions, or in wait
ing vainly for rescuers.
Hopeless Fight Against Black Damp.
Death evidently did not come to
many for hours, if not days Two rude
wooden ventilating fans, fashioned
after the same manner as those found
two days ago in the second gallery,
were affixed to the shaft wall and
stairway. The men turned these By
hand in their frantic struggle for
air, and in a hopeless effort to brush
back the black damp. The hands OF
one miner were found firmly gripped
about one of the fans.
Died After Struggle Of Two DAYS
An accurate count of the victims
has not been made, but it is believed
that all but a score of the MISSING
men have been accounted for.
The bodies were found 500 feet
from the main shaft, on an elevated
surface where the men had retreated
before the advancing water and fatag
black damp They died after a strug-
gle that continued possibly two DAYS
Messages From the Dead.
Messages scrawled on the walls
and on slate coming from the walls
placed the number of dead here az
100 or 1913. One message read:
I'VE are all here to die together.
This is accepted by the officials al
indicating that many men whose es-
cape from the second vein was cur
of by fire descended to the lowest
levil.
