STARRY FIELD NEARLY UP
TO MAXIMUM.

With the addition of Arizona and
New Mexico to the sisterhood of States
the blue and white field in the Ameri-
can flag VIII be brought almost to its
maximum number of stars. There are
forty-six stars IN the flag and forty
six States in the Union now. Arizona
and New Mexico will swell the number
to forty weight, but there it Is destined
to remain for many years.
Alaska is the last of the old political
divisions which is still a Territory, and
it viii probably be long time before
Alaska is given statehood. The project
is not even under debate at this time,
and history would justify the con-
clusion that Alaskan statehood would
have TO be discussed upward of a
decade before statehood would be
voted by Congress. None of our IN
sular possessions Is in such condition
that there's much likelihood of its be-
coming a State in the near future. 1t
would seem, then, that we can safely
adjust ourselves to the idea of a Union
OF forty-eight States for a long period
in the future.
Arizona and New Mexico, like most
of the other Territories, had a hard
struggle to gain statehood. They were
forced to submit to political jugglery,
the primary consideration being, not
whether they were entitled TO state
hood, but whether they would be an
advantage or a disadvantage to poll
ticians as political units. On the basis
of conditions in other Territories at the
time they were made States, Arizona
and New Mexico have been entitled %
statehood for several years.
1t will be- interesting to watch the
development OF these Territories as
independent Commonwealth. They
contain a peculiar citizenship, the
largest single element of which is
Mexican. They also contain a big
percentage of wild Westerners." In
fact, Arizona and New Mexico are to-
day about the only spots in the whole
Far West where the spirit, traditions,
and customs Of the old West are ac-
lively alive. Whether these peoples
will be Republican OF Democratic,
progressive or reactionary, insurgent
or standpat, whether they viii follow
the lead of Texas and Oklahoma in
radical corporation legislation or lean
to the spoils methods of their neighbor,
California, viii be interesting to
observe.
OF one thing there can be no ques-
ton: Arizona and New Mexico viii
make wonderful strides in agriculture

THE IMPOSSIBLE IS AT LAST
ATTAINED.

We used TO smile satiricalIy at the

The performance of Zeppelin's mon

a scientific feat as the flights Of some

INVESTIGATE ORDERED
INTO GORE CHARGES.

Before adjournment of the session,
the House and Senate ordered indie
pendent investigations into the charges
made by Senator Thomas Pryor Gore
of Oklahoma to the effect that an at
tempt had been made to bride him in
connection with proposed legislation
which was intended 10 shut certain at
torneys out of fat fees which they
were seeking to get for the disposal of
lands belonging to the Choctaws and
the Chickasaws. Senator Cores
charges, coming at the very close of
the session, caused an unusual stir in
Senate 'nd House, and are among the
most sensational allegations made in
years Oh the floor of either of the
legislative bodies Not only did he al
lege an attempt at bribery, but he i'm
pleated in his charges two former
members of the Senate, a member of
the House Committee on Indian Affairs
and a member OF the Senate Commit
tee on Indian Affairs.
Senator Gore was fighting to get a
provision put into the general de-
heiency bill which would require the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1910-06-28

approval Of Congress TO contracts al
lowing special attorneys fees for the
sale of such lands. As the result of
his charges, an even more drastic pro-
vision than the one he sought was put
into the deficiency bill J. F. AIc2dur-
ray, of Oklahoma, the attorney Who it
is alleged had contracts with Choctaws
and Chickasaws which would have
brought him in huge sums, estimated
from 100000 upward to Sl6OOO,OOO,
and his associates, will now have to get
approval of Congress before any con
tracts for fees for sale of these Indian
lands viii be recognized
In the absence of actual proof, it is
not fair to pass Judgment on the men
implicated by the charges of Senator
Gore. At the same time, both houses
have done well in ordering an investi-
cation. IF the investigations are
thorough they will shed needed light
on the methods used to exploit the In
dams in Oklahoma. The belief Is
strong that these methods are such
that if they were fully Illuminated the
sense of justice of the American peo-
pie would not tolerate them for a mo-
ment. That a strong lobby has been
maintained here in connection with the
cases referred to by Senator Gore IS
not denied.
1t is time to turn the light on this
lobby and others which are infesting
the Capitol all too frequently. Men
who have served in one house or the
other OF Congress too often become
lobbyists for special interests, knowing
that as former members they have ac-
cess to the floor, and hence have Ger
tain advantages. Such prostitution of
high privilege conferred by previous
public service merits nothing but con-
demnatIOn. 1t Is to be hoped the
Oklahoma investigation will uncover
the naked truth with respect to al
legged lobbying methods in this instance
and will 90 to the bottom of the whole
alleged attempt to mulct the Choctaws
and Chickasaws out of unwarranted
sums.

PRESIDENT DIAZ IS AGATNRF.
ELECTED.

President Porfrio Diaz has been re-
elected once more as head of the Next
can government. He has been return
cd to the presidency by an ever
whelming majority, and Ramon Corral
has been elected vice president, also
by heavy vote. Corral is the choice
OF Diaz for the Office of vice president
and IS the man on whom the mantle
OF Diaz is expected TO fall when the
aged head of the Mexican republic
dies.
The reelection OF Diaz is of chief
Importance in that the circumstances
attending it point to serious trouble in
Mexico when the strong hand of the
old President is no longer felt. That
that time Is not far off, is generally
believed. General Diaz is growing in
nrm and IN the natural course OF
things cannot last much longer.
In reality, the election just held has
been a mere farce. 1t has in no sense
been fair and free election Presi-
deIt Diaz, whose rule is as absolute
IS that of an emperor, set out to get
Corral elected vice president. and the
opposition was overawed by troops
Aspiring gentlemen who wanted to be
wee president found themselves so
hedged around and hampered that they
did not get lar. It would not be much
beside the mark to say that the pro-
eeedings were those not of a republic
but Of military dictatorship.
Without arguing the question wheth-
er application of the Diaz methods Is
necessary, the thought that naturally
arises is what will be done when Diaz
Is gone. 1t viii not be so easy then
TO repress the ambitions of able men
not of the coterie favored by the aged
President. That disorder and revolu-
ton are likely to come seems all too
probable. It is a situation on which
Americans, with well nigh a billion
dollars Of capital invested in Mexico.
cannot look without grave apprehen-
sion.
