citizenship has prospered until today
Arizona is ahead of many of the
states in the matter of wealth pro-
duction of copper; Arizona sends
many thousands of cattle every year
into the Chicago packing houses
while it is fast being converted into
a rich agricultural state by water
storage. Arizona has a public school
system that presents no problem for
solving as it is providing the very
best facilities for giving education
TO its growing children.
Again, we say that we should be
thankful that such ignorance of Ari-
zona as We find in the editorial sane

did not prevail IN the recent congress.

ARIZONA ABLE TO
SOLVE PROBLEM.

We take the following from the
Chicago Record-Heraid:
The senate bill providing the ad.
mission of New Mexico and Arizona
into the siterhOod OF sovereign
states is a conservative measure as
such bills go. II contains various
safeguards against erratic expert
ments and racial discrimination The
constitutions of the two eew common
wealths will require the approval of
congress and the national executive.
CONSIDERABLE DELAY is AS
SURED AND THERE ARE THOSE
WHO BELIEVE THAT STATEHOOD
WILL NOT BE CONSUMMATED
UNTIL AFTER THE NEXT PRESI-
DENTAL ELECTION.
Not even the senate's additional
checks and restrictions will make the
bill paiatable TO those who hold that
New Mexico and Arizona are by no
means ripe for statehood. either polit.
icaily or materially and morally. The
two territories together have a pop
ulation Of less than 400 000-Or less
than one-fifth the population Of Chi
cago Yet they viii have four United
States senators-as much voting
strength in the upper house OF con
gress as Illinois and New York.
THEY HAVE GRAVE RACIAL AND
EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS TO
SOLVE. AND THE FACT THAT
UNUSUAL SAFEGUARDS" ARE
DEEMED NECESSARY is or
COURSE AN ARGUMENT AGAINST
IMMEDIATE STATEHOOD.
Arizona should praise God from
whom all blessings flow" that the
senators and representatives in the
present congress are not as ignorant
of conditions in Arizona as the editor
Of the Chicago newspaper. Certainly
the editor of the Record-Herald does
not know that the population of Ari-
IONA in the matter OF education and
refinement will measure up to that
of any other western state or he
would not question the ACCESSIBILITY of
granting self government to them.
In the long territorial life of Ari- |
iona there has never been such |
legislative scandal as is now smelling
to high Heaven from the state of |
Illinois and neither has there ever
been such governmental pillage as
that exposed in the city of Chicago
in recent years The intelligence and
honesty of the inhabitants of Ari-
IONA are prominent in COMPARISON
with the ignorance and graft in Chi

with corps of physicians, young and

women physicians. who have exclusive
control Of the female population. NO
longer is an insane hospital place of
cells and strai4htjackets-the modern
watchword is liberty and even more
liberty-as much as the patient can take
with safety to himself and the public.
An effort is constantly made to in
culcate the idea that this is a place for
the treatment Of sick persons. and to

that the popular idea Of the bowling lu-

and when he does exist 1t Is only Tor q

his disease. The Ignorance Of otherwise
we'll informed people on this subject is
laughable. -
Every visitors day some one will say:
But we want to see the place where you

only seen the harmless ones.
When told that there is no such place
they generally look very wise. as much
as to say:

Nevertheless. it is quite true. Moreover:

the percentage of vicious and dangerous
characters at large in any great city.
