PREPARING FOR STATEHOOD

Advlces from Washington and the opinion of those Arizonans who have recently returned from the national capital all agree that it is copper riveted cinch that we get statehood next winter and it's up to us to put in our application singly and not join in with New Mexico.
 Opposition to granting us state hood seems practically to have vanished. Even Knute Nelson, who gave us the double cross last ses- sion, says that next session he will stand hitched. The latest poll of the senate was within three votes of being unanimous for giving Ari- zona statehood next session. And despite all the foolings and betray. als Arizona has suffered at the hands of the United States senate, it is pretty nearly certainty that the heritage will be ours within ten months.
 Such being the indication, it is we'll, already, to begin to prepare for the situation that will control us next winter. To begin with. in order to advance our statehood claims, we believe that com mittee of three or five of the most repre- sentative men of Arizona should be sent on to Washington, not only to urge our claims but to see to it that the enabling act is the most liberal possible under the circumstances. We believe that such committee, if non-political in composition and representative in character, would be really valuable aid to the cause of Arizona. We believe such a committee could be most fittingly named by the allied chambers of commerce of Arizona which have a territorial organization, within the scope of which we should think a matter of such large importance to the territory should surely fall. One paragraph kept in or stricken out of the enabling act may mean million dollars gain or loss for Arizona. The stiffer backing Ari- zona puts into a demand for a proper enabling act the more likely we are to get it and most surely we want it.
 Then, too, there is another mat ter that ought to begin to engage our attention and that is the mat ter of a constitutional convention. In the east there is general expres- sion of the fear that Arizona will make Oklahoma look like a sick s9uaw when it come to raming a rip-roaring constitution"
 Of course, there is no danger of any such thing happening, but we believe the time has arrived to begin the consideration of the sort of constitution we desire and of the very best men whom we can send to a constitutional conven- ton to frame constitution worthy of the coming great new state of Arizona.-Tucson Citizen.

SOME LOCAL ITEMS

this month on the railroad to be built by John D. Spreckles from San Diego to Yuma.
 It is probable that in a short time a regular express train carry rying only Well Fargo cars will be put in service on the Sana Fe run ming from Chicago to Pacific coast points. The growth of the express business on the Santa Fe is due to the fact that so much fruit is ham, dled over this system.
 There is no remedy that relieves as quickly as A. D. s. Foot Relief. G. c. Drug Go.
 The Hong restaurant. adjoining the Bartlett hotel, in Jerome, was dynamited last Saturday morning at o'clock. The explosion occurred 20 feet from a room occupied by President Mover, of the Western Federation of Miners, who was wis., iting in Jerome. All the windows in the room in which Mr. Mover was sleeping were blown out, but he escaped uninjured.
 FOR SALE-The Joe Johnston res. idence property, furnished; also the business property; at a bargain. See McD. Robinson, at the bank. William Klaz, aged so years, of Winslow, fell dead on the street in Los Angeles one day last week. Heart failure was the cause of his death. A son, who is employed by the Santa Fe company at Wins low, was with him when he was stricken.
 If you want to have teeth like pearls you must use Princess Tooth Powder. G. c. Drug Go.
 The prohibition movement has struck New Mexico. The Santa Fe city council has adopted an ordi- nance providing that after Dec. 31, 1909, no saloon will be permitted to do business in Santa Fe, and in the meantime all saloon licenses are to be doubled.
 No bounties will be paid by Yuma county for wild animals after June 1. This important measure was passed by the board of supervisors at a recent meeting and will do away with large and unnecessary item of expense to the county in the future. A bounty of 5 cents each has been offered for gophers, however, and it is expected that it will have the effect of ridding the county of these little pests.
 Don't you know that A. D. S. Cough Remedy has relieved more coughs and colds than any other remedy made. G. C. Drug Co.
 F. c. Marvin, who stopped over in Williams a few hours Monday, on his way from Salome to Albu- querqne, had some beautiful gold specimens from the famous "glory hole. He said the original pocket. from which thousands of dollars had been taken, was about ex- hausted. but that the main vein, which is nearly 20 feet wide, yields good gold values all the way across and will, he thinks, average about $15 in gold per ton. Con- sidering the width of the ledge, this in itself is bonanza, even though no more rich pockets like that of the "glory hole" should be found.
 Don't forget that J. c. Simmons can furnish you wall paper cheaper than others located here. and will give you better service at painting, etc., for your money. Fine paper hanging speciality.
 Frank Livermore has sold his fine ranch property, just north of Flagstaff, to Jesse Gregg. The transfer includes all the fancy horses owned by MT. Livermore as we'll as the equipment on the ranch.

school of methods, where pedagogy is

rience in the science and art of teach
ing While class work will be given,
it will not be so much for the purpose
of giving information in subjectmat-
ter as to show how to teach a given
subject most effectively. Any person
attending a State Institute should be
qualified to take examination on the
first day on the branches required to
be taught.

duty of twofold significance for mem
bers Of the Masonic fraternity. That

At a recent meeting the Tennessee
Colored Fair Association decided to
hold it's second annual fair in Green
wood Park, September 81 to rs inclu-
sive, 1909. The Association which is
composed of some of Tennessee's
most representative citizens and peo-
pie of extensive business experience,
was organized one year ago for the
purpose of collecting and placing be-
fore the public the very finest live
stock, cattle and hogs, the best farm
ing products, manufactured articles,
fancy work and culinary products of
the colored people of Tennessee and
other states.
The fair of last year is part OF
history. It was an attempt Of which
every Negro should be proud. This
year the committee hopes to realize a
creation of marvellous beauty on a gi-
gantic scale and it remains for the
citizens to say whether they shall be
successful.
The Association is not the fair; it
is only the medium through which the
skill and labor of the colored people
can be exhibited to the world, and can
only be a success through the united
efforts and cooperation Of all the peo-
pie, The committee guarantees that
protection will be given for all who
may enter exhibits

Ornaments of the Peeraue

SFu0ETSutS ob AuS ESUV&9Gs Lord Lyveden is an ardent peerage eeformer and tells an anecdote in this connection for whose authenticity he pledges himself This narrates how a famous statesman of the nineteenth century was called upon to visit his son in prison. He bitterly reproached him, remarking, Here am 1, having worked my way up from a middle class home to a great position. and when die you will be the greatest blackguard in the peerage." The son listened quietly and then replied, with terrible irony, "Yes-when you die"
 Another of Lord Lyveden's peerage stories is equally pisuant. The son of peer applied to a friend in the north of England for housekeeper and was recommended certain Mrs. Brown. The peer wrote to the woman accord lngly to the effect that. having learned particulars of her character. he was willing to engage her as his house keeper and making an appointment for her to call and see him on a certain date. The good woman replied:
 My Lord-Fron what have learned of your character I decline to enter your house. I am your lordship's obedient servant, ANNE BROWN. Westminster Gazette.

The Plays Mixed.

During one of his tours in this coun- try. when the late Sir Henry Irving was playing Twelfth Night'' in New York, he revealed absentmindedness and greatly amused the members of his company and the audience. As Malvolio he was expressing surprise at remark of Sir Toby.
 Do you know what you say?" he asked.
 To his surprise. roar of laughter echoed through the house, and his stage associates were convuised.
 He repeated the line, putting undue emphasis on the pronoun. and again the audience shouted with laughter.
 It was not until after the perform lnce he learned that quite unconscious iy he had been parodying the well known words of 'The Private Secre- tary." His only explanation was that It was done in bit of forgetfulness while thinking of the other play Chicago Record-Herald.
