ELKS' FAIR SHOULD HAVE ASSISTANCE.
tDouglas international. )

tDouglas International)
 The fair, which is being arranged for the Douglas lodge of Elks, is mai ter that should appeal to the citizens of the city for every possible encour. aWement and aid The purpose of this fair is to raise money for the building fund of this order. The local lodge is now the owner of four lots. on the northwest corner of Tenth street and E avenue. a splendid Ioca. tion for a lodge bnme.
 The public should be interested in this building much fer the same reason that they are always interested in the erection of churches, Y. M. c. A buildings and public libraries. Il would be at least a semi-public build ing. where entertainpent and comfort might be provided for members of the order as they journey in and out ol Douglas.
 If every one will help a little, the proposed fair will be made a grand success. and this will hasten the pro posed Elks' home in Douglas. It has been suggested that the Elks migh include in their proposed building ; fine opera house. and this Is a thins which is certainly needed here. The location owned by the EllSs would b' an admirable place for an opera house but whether the building should in clude an opera house or not. 1t il something very much to be desired ir this city.
 An Elks' home or club builain' would add much to th5 oa7aeity 0 this city to entertain strangers. an, entertaining strangers is a necessity 1; every community which hopes to at tract and retain the good win Of thu country surrounding it.
 Let us all go in end help the Elk make grand success of their ap preaching fair in this city. They ar, bunch of Tive ones" and may be de pended upon to return in kind the as sistance they may receive now.

NO CAUSE FOR REGRETS

It is to be hoped that the expressed regrets of the Evening Miner because of the report that Acting Governor Page had taken the pTecauiion to have the National Guard of Arizona ready to preserve peace and protect life and property in Globe should occasion re- quire. will not deter the acting gover- nor from performing his duty. The Miner overlooked the very important fact that the labor trouble in Globe was precipitated by violence on tho nart of Albert Wills, the walking dele gate, when he pulled a man from one of the mining cages of the Old Domin- ion, when he was going to his work. This man Wills is also reported to have persisted in going on the com. pany's property after he had been warned to keen of of il and had been ejected from it. A dispatch from Globe few days ago stated that there was uneasiness in Globe because of fear that the trouble. might lead to violence. Acting Governor Page was simply doing his plain duty in notify. ing the National Guard to be in readi. ness to go to Globe and preserve or der should such necessity arise.
 Since the very narrow escape from bIoodshed during labor riot at Mo renci several years ago. it Is well to take every precaution to prevent such an occurrence again in Arizona. The sprecaution taken by Acting Gov. ernor Page could not possibly harm anyone or in any way prejudice the cause of either the union men al Globe or the operating companies there. so long as neither was making any trough house" demonstrations
 Everybody will be glad to know that thc trouble at Globe Is apparently coming to an end. but this fact docs act warrant any criticism of the act ing governor because of his precau sionaTy action in the matter of hay ing the National Guard in readines. for any condition which might hay, arisen in the Gna county metropolis

 There is not member of congress who does not vel understand that Arizona and New Mexico are better qualified for statehood than were the maojrity of the present states when they were admitted to the union; there is not a member of congress who is not advised of the statehood pledges given to both the remaining territo- ries by the national. conventions of both parties last year

SHOULD ADMIT
 ARIZONA AND
 : NEW MEXICO
Csan Francisco Chronicle.)

It has been said that no enabling
 act for the admission of Arizona and
 New Mexico as separates states could
 be expected at this session. We do
 not see why. The p-ecedents for the
 terms of such enabling acts are abund ant, the practice .s well settled and the necessary act could be drawn up in an hour by any lawyer. No time
 is required for discussion. for the sub iect has been actively canyassed in and out of congress for the last live years. Every congressman perfectly understands the matter and could vote on an enabling act tomorrow as 1 well as later. For republicans the subject seems to have passed the stage of discussion. The republican platform reads:
 we favor the immediate admis-
 sion of the territoFic3 of New Mexico
 and Arizona as separate states in the union"
 Nothing could be more explicit. Immediate means forthwith-as
 soon as the necessary legal procedure can take place. It distinctly does not mean at some indefinite time in the l future. It does nOt mean at the con venience of the next congress. Imme-
 diate means right now. and there arg some grounds for alieging bad faith on the part of the republican party that congress has now been iE ses-
 sion for six weeks and the law has not been enacted. There is no reason why 1t should not have been. The demo cratic platform is silent on the sub ! ject. but there is no reason te sup
 pose that there would be democratic opposition to the redemption of the republican pledge of the immediate admission of the two states.
 | It is said that certain republican | Headers in congress have been op- posing the passage of this law but are withdrawing opposition because both territories have elected repubh- | can delegates It Is hard to under
 stand how any republican congress-
 man who opposes the fulflllment of . republican pledge sAould be regarded 1 as leader" nor is 1t any easier to understand why Such opposition should be withdrawn because both ter | ritories elected republican delegates

ARIzoNANs NOT NEEDED IN WASHINGTON.

A few days ago. in special dispatch from Washington. published in the Arizona Republican, $ was stated that the leaders in congress were Of the opinion that it would rot be necessary for citizens of this territory 10 journey to Washington to assist in the work for the passage of the statehood bill. It was intimated tat no one from Arizona could be of any benefit .o the bill. and that It would really be better If they remained at home.
 While no doubt there are many men in Arizona. having influential friends in washington. who would gladly go there if they believed their presence would result in'the rrompt passage of the statehood bill. there is no reason why it should be necessary for any -oec from either Asszcna or New Mex

WICKED WHIST

it may be possible that right here in Bisbee there is a fragrant viola tion of the law by those who are in che habit of playing bridge whist and inviting their friends to inc social game and giving out prizes for the best score.
 Invitations 10 whist parties at which prizes are offered for the best scores are now under the ban of the postoffice authorities and unmailabIe. Perhaps it was the kindly and benef- cent design of the government to put m end to gambling at bridge by refus- ing the use of the mails to people who wished to send iayitations to prize bridges. Evidently the government be- Iieyes a bridge party at which rewards are offered is a fora of gambling. At that rate. if that be SO, then an boat races, walking matches. foot races, athletic competitions and games of all kinds at which prizes are offered are varieties of gambling. and it IS illegal to use the mails for correspondence regarding them or for newspapers containing account of them. says the los Angeles Herald.

ARIZONA'S UNIvE ERsITV.


 The people of Arizona have cause to be proud Of the university located in Tucson. With the exception of one or two. short periods. when politics creeped into it's management the in siitution has reflected credit on the management and on the people of Ar. izona, From time 10 time it has been fouEd necessary tc build additional buildings to accommodate those who sought admittance to the institution. Today it ranks with the best eduea- tional institutions in the west. and it has a corps of professors and teach CTS of the highest character.
 The legislative committee, which visited the university this week 1t is hoped will be impressed with the good work the university is doing for Ari. zona. and that whatever they find is necessary for keeping it up to the highest standard oi excellence they will recommend be provided by tho Legislature in their report
 It was announced recently that the university would ask the legislature for small appropriation to make it possible to carry on a systematic cx- pertinent along the lines Of dry farm ing, which has been growing in pabhG attention in the wost durinng the last few years. This experiment has al ready been started ir the Sulphur Springs valley. pr. James Douglas. Of New York. making a beginning of the work possible by an endowment to the agricultural department of the unlver, siiy for this purpose. But this en dovtment will not be sufficient to car " on the work. as it should be, ir the opinion of the university officials and it is proposed to ask the Iegisla ture to supplement the fund provided by Dr. Douglas by an appropriation O; say-s5.OO0.
 It is important tna; this dry farm ing experiment should be pushed to 8 definite conclusion. at the very earli 1 est possible time, so that the settlers and intending settlers in the arid dis tricts of the west may be provided witr definite knowledge as to just wha may be done in the matter of producing crops without irrigation in sections o the country where the rainfall amount, to no more than it does in the valley, lof Arizona l, is claimed that by tn, dry farming method good crops art produced without lTrrigation in state' where the rainfall does not exceed that of this territory. but the soil an, other conditions may not be SO favor Table here, and it is to demonstrat' just what may be expected from th'

Prize bridge may be a most reprchen- sible pastime. Br'ege parties at which the game is played for books and cups and tea sets, demoralizing horse shoe scarf pins and deadly lockets and boxes If candy. which are ruD pfde open. must be put under the ban. And since prize bridge is forbidden. we take it progressive euchre is also officially banned, be- cause it would never do to make fish of one kind of card game for prizes and flesh of another.

 The same good. kind. benevolent government which forbids the use of the mails for demoralizing and de- grading invitations to prize bridge whist allows race track gamblers, stock gamblers and oll the other kinds of gamblers to use the mails.

In vain they appealed to him for

under conditions all similar. and what
was good enough for Berlin must suf-

Three years later. on visiting the
town for tine second time. the master
novelist found II deserted city. Not a

In vain Bjornson asked for a cab.
