That Abused Conjunction, And"

Mark Smith is in Washington and from all that can be learned statehood for the territories, at this session or congress. is no sure thing The Ari- zona Star.
 Here is a fine illustration of the unnecessary. and improper because unnecessary. use of that much over worked conjunction and" Here are two distinct propositions which we do not think the Star. the warm sup porter of Mir Smith and the timorous, hoping -against-hope advocate of state hood. meant should be related-the presence of MT. Smith in Washington and the consequent waning of state hood hope. If there is any such re- lation. Mir. Smith should have been put under restraint before he got out of the corporate limits of Tucson. But we know that the Star means no suchi thing. It merely fell in pre- cisely the same error as that of the school boy who concluded his essay: That is why I say virtue is its own reward and the lion is the king of beasts
 But We fear that the meaning of the Star will be misconstrued. Ever since the defeat of MT. Smith a year ago. the Star in and out of season has feared that statehood was be- yond our-reach; every favorable pros pect has been clouded by the Star and a double meaning has been de- tected in every promise.
 In short, the failure of admission has been consistently and more or less plainly predicted by the Star. Nobody likes to have his predictions go awry, even though they be fore casts of disaster. So, if statehood should fail, the Star would doubtless enjoy a gloomy satisfaction in having told us so.

 Man in the Shack. Where the prairie stretched bare in the
 summers hot glow. or was weary and drear in the shroud
 of the snow, He has builded his shack; he has
 pitted his toll 'Gainst the silence and space that
 would make him their spoil, And our civilization is wearing a track To the line that is set by the Man In
 the Shack. He is rough. he is crude-but the
 world where he lives Is but rough and but crude in the life
 that it gives, With the wind sweeping down with
 furry that jars And the night with its lonely array of
 the stars Yet he does not make moan over what
 he made lack, But looks out on his conquest-the
 Man in the Shack. Aye, the Builder. the Doer, the Winner
 of Ways, He is shaping a realm with the toll of
 his days, And no hero of old had a sturdier
 heart Or more nobly performed what he saw
 as his part; And the future he bears on his sinewy

enemies for enlightenment, but to his official acts and to his official utter ances. As to coal lands, concerning which he has been the most viciously denounced. here is his policy, as set forth in his annual report:
 AS regards new legislation. the present coal-land laws respecting the states and territories, as well as Alas ka. should be supplanted by an act fully meeting existing as well as fu- ture conditions The inducements for much of the crime and fraud, both constructive and actual. committed under the present system can be pre- vented by separating the right to mine from the title to the soil. The surface would thereby be open to entry under other laws according to its character and subject to the right to extract the coal.
 The object to be attained in any such legislation is to conserve the coal deposits as a public utility and to prevent monopoly or eXtortion in their disposition. This may be accom- plished either through a leading sys- 
 in the government. under proper reg ulations and supervision by the sec retary of the interior. or through the sale of the deposits. and in either case with restrictions on their mining and use which would control the minimum output and conserve the deposits as a public utility.
 T believe the most advantageous method will be found in measure authorizing the lease or sale of the coal deposits in the lands, subject to forfeiture for failure to exercise the rights granted, under such reasonable regulations as may be imposed. An exploration period of at least one year upon a permit basis, at nomi- nal charge, would insure to the apph- cant the necessary preliminary knowl- edge upon which to make the lease or purchase of the coal deposits and venture the necessary investment for operation. The maximum unit au- thorized for this use could safely be made from three to five sections, pro- yided no greater surface rights be granted than will give proper facili- ties to reach and extract the coal de- posits.
 Tn case of failure of the lessees or grantees to open and operate the coal deposits under reasonable limitations and to maintain an output reasonably suited to the deposits. and in case or combinations as to price or, limitation of output, title should be forfeited by proceedings in court for that purpose Government mine supervision would doubtless be necessary to enforce the conditions and limitations under the grant.
 The above suggestions with refer ence to the disposition of coal de- posits are equally applicable to the oil and gas fields in the public do- main, and similar legislation as to lands containing the same is hereby recommended. Indeed, the very na- ture of these two important mineral resources requires that their disposi- ton be in terms of quantity of the product extracted rather than of acreage.
 Only a few days ago, in pursuance of the policy of withholding coal lands from "grabbers" pending the enact ment of legislation which will better protect the public interest, MT. Bal finger withdrew from entry large area of supposed coal land in Ari- zona.

A BOOST FOR SHOW ME-
Here Is an Opinion That Missouri's Motto Is All Right-Far ahead
 of Many tOhers.

If Governor Hadley of Missouri will consider rationally and dispassionately the show me" motto of his great con- monwealth we believe he will take back the rash words he spoke in haste and will not wish to separate it from the life and activity of that state. We are aware that these words are not on the great seal of Missouri, but we are of the opinion that even Governor Hadley. were he able to separate the "snow me" idea from all relationship to banquet humor and stump oratory. would be among the first to express a wish that it were.
 It is so much more in touch with the spirit of the age than the legend which graces the seal of Illinois, for instance What does State Sovereignty and Ma tional Union" mean as compared with the simple, frank, straightforward show Me-? State sovereignty may be but passing dream, a relic of the mo- tions which once prevailed, a phrase with an empty sound and of no mean ing, but show me" is a bold defiance not only to the nation but to the uni verse.
 It betokens sophistication It indi- cates that no mean breed of intellectu- ality comes from the western banks of the Mississippi and the ranges of the OZarks. IL is Missouri's challenge to all the three she'l game men of all na- tions and all races. It is uttered in the strength and vigor of youth and in the self-confidence of reliant man. hood.

The nature of the conversation be- tween Dunkle and Loose regarding the possible confession of the latter was itself strong proof of its falsity. The very fact that there was con- yersation between these two worthies at all on this subject is suspicious, and the suspicion is strengthened by Dunkle's statement that the argu- ment he employed with Loose was that if he made such a confession he would be regarded as a liar.

peace reigns again, with no probability
of any further trouble The Pacific

reduction caused the American-Ha-
