TWO New states.

 Indications are that even in the hnr. rx of this short session Congress will admit Arizona and New Mexico to statehood, the Senate leaders having withdrawn their Opposition and the House standing ready at any time to enact a measure that will be sntisfac- tory to the Senate. Although hA was one of the most stubborn opponents of the statehood measure in the last Congress Speaker Cannon is said to have guarafteed the right-of-way for statehood and 1t is now expected that President Roosevelt will be authorized hafore March (, to issue proclamation calling elections in those two Terrfto- rfes, preparatory to final admission to fiill and separate statehood into the Union of American Commonwealths. There seerns to be no just reasUn for further delay in. the admission of two Territories.e They now have the size. natural advantages and population to warrant their admission, and the out look is promising in both Territories.

The adoption or the siib-committee's re- port simply had the effect of recorn- rnendfng t4e proposed course 10 the Boards of Control of these schools.
 may add that the Hub-cofnmittee did not make recommendations as to particular text books. but was com tinued by the Association with the re- quest that t make such recommenda- tions. In this connection I may add that the snb~comnlitfee divided It's du- ties h such way that the other mem.

THEN AND NOW.

3 Reading of the incident of the sink ing of the steamer Republic. and of the swift and valuable assistance ren- dered the endangered passengers through the agency of the wireless telegraph system. ope Is led to wOn- der how the world got along without xhat method of communication iA the past. Only . few years ago if such q catastrophe had occurred under sim liar conditions it would have been a mere accident if any aid had reached ! fhe wrsck.A and all on board might have perished. As 1t was the mes- cages and signals of distress were waved in all directions and were caught up and acted on So promptly that many hundreds of lives were saved. Without. the wireless system this would have been impossible. : This is one of the most notable ex- amples of the advantages of modern Anventiveness that can be recalled, and it is peculiarly notable because 1t sets at rest all doubt as to the practica- bllity and efficacy of this discovery. It has been but very few years. as ali know, since Marconi was laughed at and his alleged discovery regarded me of the widest of dreams. Even we'll informed men regarded his claims as impossible, but the doubters are now convinced that the claims were z we'll founded. and that the wireless is a fact. And as to that matter the telegraph itself is so modern that many now living can remember when the first message Rlashed over the wires, for, the lives of many persons stretch back beyond the time when the electric telegraph was proven a success. Before that period the great and the small, the rich and the poor, a high officials and humble citizens of l1ad to depend on the comparatively slow process of the mails to convey or receive information. King David or Julius Ceasar could send a mes- sage as quickly as General Jackson or Bonaparte could do.
 And We are also led to wonder how people could be satisfied with the slow means of travel and transporta- tion of a century ago. As they had no knowledge of anything better we suppose they were satisfied in a way, but now we are at loss to under stand how they could be content When the people, the mails. the mer- .chandise and all else had to be con yeyed from one point to another by horses, mules and oxen 1t was indeed a slow business. We suspect that many a man. anxious to get some where quickly echoed the words ot David: "Oh that I had the wings like dove" Now he can get on a train and almost equal the speed of the dove, and some optimists insist that we will soon be flying like the fowls of the air. As so many wonderful shings have already been accomplishet et 1t would not be wise. to assert that @ilceessfu flying will not come.
