STATEHOOD ASSURED,
BUT AT WHAT TIME? .

In its editorial columns OF Sun
day the Douglas Dispatch devotes
more than a column to the subject of
Statehood for Arizona Assured
The headlines of this editorial are
about the only part of the article
which is correct. Statehood for ART
IONA is assured, it has been assured
for more than a dozen years, it is
Just as much assured now as it has
been at any time during those dozen
years and a little more SO, just that
many years nearer, that is all. I'll
timately Arizona will have statehood
but there is no reason to expect
statehood at the coming session Of
congress. On the contrary, there is
every reason to expect that Arizona
will not be given her rights by the
Republican majority. Political cc1-
ditions are such that the dominant
party fears to grant Arizona state
hood at this time. that is the con-
sentative element of the party who
are now in the saddle. 49,

a FREAK LAW.

A law passed by the last session
of congress making it crime fo~ any
person to draw a check for any
amount less thai one dollar Is just
now being condemned with much
vigor, as It deserves. This fool Law
has been denominated as a freah
equal to anything ever enacted by q
Kansas or Georgia legislature and II
is to be hoped that the unjust meas
ure will be promptly repealed wher
congress meets again in December
The law Is here quoted:
" No person shall make, issue
or circulate or pay out any note,
check, memorandum, token or
other obligation for a less sum
than one dollar. inteded to cir
culate as money or to be received
or used in lieu of lawful money
of the United States; and every
person so offending shall be fined
not more than $500 or imprisoned
not more than six months, or
both.
Commenting on this law the Ari
zona Republican says:
TN other words, after the first
of next January, unless the fool
law be repealed meanwhile-any
person who hands out his check
for less than one dollar in pay
ment for anything will subject
himself to liability of a fine of
$500 and Imprisonment for six
months. To give concrete Illus
tration of the working of the new
law, In The Republicans mail
every day there are numerous en-
closures of checks for seventy
five cents in payment for the pa
per for one month. These checks
from whatever source, are will
lingly accepted by the banks at
their FACET Is most conven-
lent form of payment. When the
law goes into effect this ready
and convenient form of remit
lance will become unlawful, and
some clumsy and expensive sub
stitute adopted. Silver Is not
and worse than that, call for the
= postofice for the order. And
6 there are many daily remittances
to this Office from subscribers
who live at a distance from any
postoffice.
Business men In all lines Will
be disconnected by the new law,
put to Inconvenience, without any
sensible excuse. But the law goes
further than to prohibit checks of
smaller denomination than one
dollar. 1t provides that these
checks shall not be issued 'in lieu
of lawful money" An order on
your grocer, given IN payment of
the services of temporary help"
for example, win make you liable
to heavy fine and Imprisonment
If the order is for less than one
dollars.

a more senseless piece of legisla-
tion"

The Rust of Custom.

The bitterness toward innovation is just the same in an army as out of it, but perhaps with more reason. A new thing cannot possibly be accepted un- til it has proved itself better than that which it displaces. The first cannons were possibly rejected, and the Chris tian inventor took them to the Turk, who used them at the siege of Con- stantinople. The first firearms were bitterly opposed because they destroy ed the soldierly bearing of the troops. The British navy strenuously objected to the first large guns because one charge would cost as much as one of Nelson's broadsides. Ericsson's Mon itor met with more opposition in Washington than it did in Hampton Roads. At the outbreak of the civil war it is said that congress ordered the adoption of the new weapon. over the objection of the chief of ordnance, who kept specimen of the old one in his office to show visitors how good it was.-Army and Navy Life.

Luck In Golf.

Luck, as will readily be understood, is a factor that enters very largely into golf. Perhaps the most notable case on record is that of Jamie An derson when competing for the cham pionship at Prestwick in 1878. He had just teed his ball for the seventeenth drive when a little girl standing among the spectators remarked that he had unconsciously placed it just in front of the proper line. Although nobody else had noticed the fact, this proved on examination by the referee to be correct. Thereupon Anderson teed his ball again in fresh position we'll behind the line and made a drive which landed him in the hole and eventually enabled him to win the match. If, however, he had played it from the original spot he would have been penalized a stroke and have lost the championship. Clearly, then, luck on the links is something to be taken into consideration whatever nonbeliev- CTS may say to the contrary. -Bailey's Magazine.
