civilization. We flatter ourselves that we are already civilized, though the word territory seems to carry with it something to the contrary in cer- tain parts of the country. Statehood will produce confidence in those who have money to invest.
 "A desirable class of citizens will pour in on us and new industries will be started l expect to see the coal fields of the territory developed and tapped by railroads. I expect to see the price of copper rise and Arizona to become the greatest mineral state of the union.
 And I don't expect all this in ten years" added Mir Cameron; 'I expect it in. let us say. two years at the longest"
 Mir Cameron had a few remarks to make on the territorial fair. T have been all over the territory" he said, and everywhere people have spoken with enthusiasm about it. They have asked all sorts of questions. seeking information on the racing entries in particular. l think the card this year is unusually good and you may expect to see a record breaking crowd here"
 MT. Cameron left on the early morn ing train for the north.

where he will join the president in his trip down the Mississippi. They were accompanied as far as Maricopa by Hoval Smith. who went on to Los An geles to attend to some mining busi- ness.
 .I believe" said Mir. Cameron yes terday, that the president and MT Rallinger are thoroughly convinced that the people of Arizona are quail fled for statehood. and l know of my own knowledge that Mir Hitchcock Is of the same opinion. I am convinced that the visit of these three men to the territory is of inestimable import ance to the people of Arizona. NIT. Ballinger has seen the great irrigation projects. He was at Yuma, Parker and Roosevelt He expressed himseH in the highest terms of the construc- ton work under way here. It seems to me that the visit of these men at this time cannot but mean the con tinuation of a liberal policy in irriga- tion exploits already under way and the furtherance of projects that are at present on paper only.
 During the past three weeks Dele gate Cameron and Mir. Hitchcock have travelled all over the territory. They have practically circled it and have visited every important town in Ari- zona with the exception of the Clifton district Mir. Cameron stated that MT.

Hitchcock was deeply interested in Arizona. He said the statement pub lished in several papers that MT Hitchcock would make his home in the territory was hardly to be relied on If he had any such intentions" said MT Cameron, T am sure he would have told me about it. He will doubt less come here often, especially for recreation: but his duties would pre- vent him from taking up a residence here"
 Among the towns visited by MT. Cameron and Mir. Hitchcock are Glea- son, Douglas, Bisbee. Courtland, Tomb stone. Roosevelt, Globe and Benson. They also made the Parker trip.
 Mir. Cameron then spoke of the fu- ture of the territory. Tt ~ill not be a territory long," he said; 'l believe at the next session the enabling act will be passed; that is the general be lief in official circles. What will 1t mean to Arizona?
 We are so used to hearing people talk about the prosperity and things that will happen when statehood Is reality that such statements have little weight. They have been reiter- ated till they have lost their dynamic stress. But even at the risk of mak- ing trite statements, l tell you we are on the eve of a tremendous prosperity. statehood will not transform our con dition instantly to higher degree oi

QUESTIONS EXPLORERS SETTLE.
Interesting Problems for Cook and
 Peary to Answer.

Does the earth revolve at the rate of 1000 miles an hour. as is common ly accepted by scientists. or does the universe turn. and what is the force of gravity?'
 This question William F. Main of Piedmont, w. Va. believes will be settled definitely by the data obtained by Dr. Cook and Lieutenant Peary in their expeditions io the north pole.
 If Dr. Cook or Lieutenant Peary. by the readings Of his instruments. stood on the geographical center or axis of the earth. was he able to prove whether the earth revOlves in making it's orbit around the sun at the rate of 1000 miles an hour, or does the universe have something to demonstrate in what may be an Op- tical illusion to us?" observed Mir Main at the Willard last night.
 If Dr. Cook and Peary stood on the center or turning point of the earth they would certainly be able to arrive at some conclusions as to whether the earth revolves in it's or bit around the sun or whether the universe gives us our day and night.
 If Dr Cook and Peary stood on this point and faced the sun during the Arctic day, standing perfectly still the question as to whether the earth turns to produce our days and nights would be demonstrated by the way his figures followed. preceded or met the sun on the completion of its or bit We hope that som sthing definite may have been determined by either .f the action of the orbit in connection with the universe. on a proposition that has been in dispute for 2.000 years, or ever, since we have had scientific in struments.
 Further, has Dr. Cook or Peary secured a scientific chart of the as- tronomical planets in that latitude on the dates specified by him? We should like to have either of them explain whether while standing at the pole the north star was perpendicular with him It will be interesting to learn whether either of the explorers will maintain that if We should es- tablish a pendulum at the north pole We shall be able to determine the weight of our own and other planets"
 Mir Main. who formerly was in the United States marine service. has made several trips to the north. and has twice been around the world. He has made a study of navigation and planetary reading. and he believes that the discovery of the pole will throw a great deal of light on ques- tions that have puzzled the scientific world for centuries-Washingto Post

Gloucester County Democrat., 1909-01-21

Nearly one-half of the total number
of deaths in the borough of Manhat
tan, New York; last year resulted
from violence of one kind and another
according to the annual report of the
chief clerk of the Board of Coroners.
Death due to natural causes number
ed 3,081, while those due to violence,
suicide and accidental, totaled 1852.
Surface cars killed 161 persons, and
automobiles killed SO. There were
more suicides by shooting than by
any other means, the number by
gas was close second, with 100. The
total number of suicides was 552 The
rivers of New York gave up 79 bodies,
on ly six of which were identified.
Deadbabies found abandoned number
ed 116.
The fact being out that the Wells
bach Company is looking for a new
location for their plant, and consider
ing Woodbury., the situation may with
propriety be publicly discussed.
Freight rates in Woodbury. are
little higher than in Gloucester, be-
cause Gloucester is within what is
known as the Camden yard limit The
Pennsylvania railroad expects our
City Council to soon enact an ordin-
ance giving them some valuable con-
cessions, and we suggest reasonable
concession to Woodbury. would be TO
extend the Camden yard limit to this
city, And why not? Here is the
junction of three railroads, all Penn
sylvania, and the natural distributing
point for all South Jersey, hence with
propriety could be SO classed. This
brought about, there would be little
doubt of the location of this great
enterprise here, with its 1000 and more
employees.
The rumor is that this company is
going to greatly increase it's plant,
and must have more room. Wood
bury has that; has it the enterprise
to do the rest?

Trinity Church Statement.

1t is very evident that Trinity Cor
poration, of New York, is not inSen-
sible to the fire of criticism to which
it has been subjected of late. 1t has
just issued financial statement con-
tanning detailed report of receipts
and expenditures for the fiscal year
ending July 81, 1908. This is said to
be the first statement of the kind
issued since 1874. The policy of Sc
crecy which has always surrounded
the financial affairs of this great
church gave it an air of mystery
which has been made the most of by
its critics, and the change inaugural
ed will undoubtedly give it a better
standing with the general public.
1t is specifically stated that with
the exception of the comptroller, who
manages all of the busines affairs of
the corporation, and of the clerk of
the vestry, who is it's legal adviser,
no member of the vestry receives any
remuneration, direct or indirect,
from the corporation. This says
the New York Sun, Should set at
rest the unpleasant rumors that for
years have had circulation regarding
private profits accruing to individuals
from the management of the great
estate of the parish.
The statement shows that Trinity
owns real estate valued at $13,646,-
300, according to the assessed yalua-
tion, which, of course, means that the
actual value of the property is con-
siderably in excess of this sum. The
total does not include the churches,
chapels, schools and burying grounds
of the corporation. It's churches are
ten in number and it's schools sixteen
The actual value of all property own
ed by Trinity is therefore probably
worth fully twice the sum mentioned
in the statement. 1t is no wonder
that the concentration of so vast a
property in religious corporation
should excite public curiosity and
make Trinity the object of SO much
interest.
The actual income of the corpora
tion is comparatively small so much
of its real estate being non-product-
i've. The total receipts for the year
mentioned were approximately $780,
600 over $750,000 of which was deriv-
ed from real estate rentals and only
about $4,000 from it's pew holdings.
It's taxes amounted to $4,000, in
addition to the taxes paid by the
holders of ground leases. The expen-
ditures for its churches and chapels
amounted to $277,114. and for its
schools $63,756. Repairs formed an
OIL her large item, footing up over
100000. In addition it has loans
to the churches outside it's own parish
amounting to $370,945, on which, in
accordance with the standing policy
of the corporation, it collects no in
terest The publication Of these fig
ures will set at rest a graf deal of
curious speculation on the part of out
siders. The only wonder is that the
policy of secrecy was not long ago
abandoned.

300 MILLION DOLLARS OF NEW
LIFE INSURANCE IN 1908.
The PrudentiaTs Most Remarkable
Year

The year 1908 will pass into history
as a year of business depression, of
diminished incomes and reduced sal
aries. 1t will also be recorded as the
year in which The Prudential Insur-
ance Company of America wrote over
5000 ,000,000 of new paid-up life in
surance. This would have been a
splendid record in the piping times of
prosperity. 1t is a most extraordinary
record of success in view OF the uni
yersal business depression which
characterized the year 1908. The facts
of the depression and the figures of
The Prudential seem irreconcilable.
But it may be true that the disturbed
conditions were influential on the
one hand in causing the consideration
of a wise provision for the future
through life insurance. On the other
hand. The PrudentiaRs new low-cost
Ordinary, Industrial and Monthly In
come nolicies offer advantages which
appeaI to those who were considering
Insurance protection. The high stand
ing of The Prudential also makes 1t
nossible to do business satisfactorily
because there can be no doubt OF
Prudential promise. Whatever the
ron clusiou. the fact remains that in
4 year Of great financial strlngency,
there was enough cash in the country
ana sufficient desire on the part od sne ae
public to buy and pay for $SoS,Ouo,UVV

New Jersey Facing State Tax.

That New Jersey is facing State
tax, as claimed by the Democrats, is
amply evidenced in the report of State
Treasurer Voorhees,, submitted to the
Legislature yesterday. The figures
show that the extraordinary disburse-
ments for the year ending October 81,
1908, we're $4,014,S82.58, as against
1894, ,206.24 for the previous year.
The treasury has run down in its
annual balance from $2,858,392.13, in
1905 to $773,506.74 October 81 last,
the end of the fiscal year.
The total disbursements of the
State for the last year were $8,47S,-
134.24, of which $4,014,882.53, or near
ly half, as for extraordinary ex-
penses from the creation of commits
sions, he enlargement of the depart
ments and the formation of commits
sions to investigate various subjects,
as well as for extraordinary expenses
of insti utions of the State.

Urging d. @. Watkins Re-App0int-
menf.

A delegation of representative Glou-
cester county men, numbering between
fifty and sixty, headed by ex-senator
John Boyd Avis, waited on Governor
Fort last Monday and urged the re-
appointment of David o. Watkins to
the position of Commissioner of Bank
ing and Insurance Assemblyman
Heritage was of the party, and was
one of the speakers. The Governor
gave the delegation respectful hear
ing but did not commit himself
1t is the general understanding that
Senator Gaunt does not favor Mr.
Watkins re-appointment, indeed, that
he will oppose it.
That being the case Mr.. Gaunt will,
of course, have a candidate of his
own.
Great as the personal honor and
emoluments of this Office may be to
Mr.. Watkins, the county, in no small
measure, shares the honor in having
one of its citizens in position so high
in the State Government, and while
Mr.. Gaunt has a right to favor an
other for the office, to our mind his
opposition should not be carried to
the point Of losing the appointment to
the county, if by unity it can be held
here.
If the two Republican factions can
not agree on candidate of their
politics, we can suggest a good Demo-
crat, who will maintain the office in
its present efficient state, and be an
honor to the State and county as we'll

Congress
Newark, N 1.-THE Prudential Insurance
Com any of America has just been award
ed a gold medal 1or its exhibit of charts
and diagrams at the International Con-
gress Of tuberculosis recently held at
Washington, d. G.
The exhibit of The Prudential consisted
of series of charts illustrating, in a
graphic form, the mortality from consump-
tion in thirty different trades The charts
are derived from the extensive mortality
experience of the Company, and no SINH
tofore been made public by health au-

sulting from continuous exposure to the
different varieties of dust, and naturally
has attracted considerable attention.
The charts are now on view in the Mu-

finances as they affect school moneys.
In his talk with the Board the Cover

a portion of the receipts of the rail-

to the public school system should lie
retained by the State in addition to
the one-half of per cent. reserved to
the State by law.
