HovaI A. Smith Confident.

Among those who are very con- 6dent that Arizona will get state hood at this session of congress in Hon. Hoval A. Smith, chair- man of the republican territorial central committee, who was in Washington last week and has returned to Bisbee with encour- aging news.
 MT Smith while in Washington was in position to learn person. ally of the most excellent work being done by Hon. Ralph Cam eron, in behalf of Arizona, and that he is handling the duties of delegate beyond reproach.
 Much as tn. democratic press of Arizona, for political reasons has tried to belittlr the efforts of Mir Cameron. the fact is mani fest that the statehood bill pass es 1t will be in great measure due to the loyal work of Mir. Cameron who has been untiiing in his eff forts.
 Not even President Taft himself sable to get out ofcongress what he desires to be done at this ses- sion. 1t will be no small wonder therefore, ii before the season closes the statehood bill really becOm>s law. Indications are that it may be taken up next week, and 1t is certain that Mir. Cameron will spare no means which may prevent any more de lay. Cong has been for past several weeks d very SlOW-mov- ing and acting body, but 1t Is thought that as the warm weather invades Washington there will be rush and hustle to c.can up the business on the cal ender. including sta tehood.-Ari- zona Gazette.

The Postal Savings Bank Bill

With the exception )f the parcels post bill, there is no measure before Congress that promises to be of so much benift to the country at large as the postal savings bank bill which will i'll a day or two be reported by Congressman Gardner. This measure was under discussion in Republi- can caucuses last week and the only section of the bill i'll dispute is that relating to the disposition of postal savings. The minority is insisting that a certain percentage of postal deposits shall remain in the communities where the depos- its have been made. Others hold that discretion should be vested in the President so that he may use these postal de- posits for investment in gov ernment bonds or may shift them in time of financial dis tress to money centers. It is quite probable that Congress will get together on this bill and it will be passed in some form at this session.

There is every indication that the appropriation for this session will go beyond the ap- propriation of last session, which amounted to $1,o44,- ooo,ooo. President Taft ur- ged retrenchment, but mem bers of Congress are urging appropriations for harbors, for river improvements and for public buildings. A til- lion dollar appropriation would have been unthinkable fifty years ago. Who will at tempt to predict what the ap propriation will be fifty years hence.

Protecting Our
 Natural Wonders

Upon recommendation of the secretary ofthe interior, the Pres ident has issued a proclamation establishing a federal reserva- tion of ten acres surrounding the Rainbow bridge, in Navajo coun- ty, which is one of natures many wonders in our territory This reservation is made under an act of congress which author izes the president to protect such wonders by making them ma tional monuments It would be extremely difficult for anybody to injure the wonderful Rainbow bridge, but injury could be made possible, and 1t is therefore wise to protect it under federal law
 But the national monument" proposition can be carried to ex- | etnes. For example, if all the people in Arizona were to devote all the time during the remain der of there lives to an effort to injure the Grand Canyon of Ari zona or to deface 1t so as to mar 'tS beauty. thev could not make any more headWay n the joD than so many ants. Yet Presi dent Roosevelt, in his speech near the canyon but before he had looked at it-said in substance to the great crowd: "I adm onish you people never 10 destroy this great wonder!" He was excus l. ble in such an absurd utterance, because nobody can form a con ception of the magnitude of that chasm until he has seen it. Mr. Roosevelt afterward issued a proclamation declaring the can yon national monument, which was an utterly unnecessary pro ceeding, so far as the need of "protecting" the canyon from vandals was concerned.

The Robbing By Short Weight.

One of the most cruel of wrongs in the present reign If high prices IS the swindling that is being done Tn the l ,af ot bread sold to the people. In almost every in stance it is under weight In most cases there Is a loss of from 25 to 50 per cent. The whole thing is an outrage, and it. hts hardest those who can least afford 1t, the poor. There shoul,l be a move ment to standardize the loaf of bread, and 1t should be sold by weight We understand that in some states there are laws, and we also understand that these laws are very impertectly enforc- ed. In New York City the loaves vary by as much as seven or eight ounces. In Chicago, we are told that the conditions are as bad, il not worse. In all sections where we have made inquiries the evil is general and acute It is well that attention should be given to this matter at once. Coneum CTS should see that the laws which protect them are put into effect. And if the laws do not ex- ist they should move upon their state and municipal legislatures and compel the action that will give to them the value of their money. Surely there is no form of gr aft or larceny so mean as that which takes a brigand's ollfrom those who must get full value for rhe little money they have in or der to live d, ce.. tly

Impending Boycott of Amr ican
 Goods in China.

The news that there is an
 impending boycott of Amerl- can goods in China, while not alarming, is far from pleasant.
 There is very little exporta- ton of American goods to China. By far the greater part of the exportation is such that the Chinese cannot well do. without. Kerosene, for example, has done more for that benighted country than anything perhaps that it has recieved from the rest of the world. The Chinese will scarcely be so stupid as to snuff out their light. It is difficult for all American to un- derstand the Chinese s;tuat- ion. There is no Chinese sentiment or even thought. A dense mass of excessively poor people who do not under stand the language of their neighboring villages twenty miles off, of course do not know that this government remitted a Boxer indemnity ol millions of dollars. This boy cotting, whether local or inter national, is poor business, but what right have we to com

Russian Game of Jackpotovitch

 Abraham Schiff, who was ar rested with several friends in Newark for gambling. was ar raigned before Judge Herr it the second criminal court in that city yesterday, and made the plea that they were merely play ing a Russian game called cone thousand"

Then you say that you think the threes are pretty good, and put a chip down so as to remember what you said. Then, if you can find some more threes, or ma :ch up another pair, why then your hand is so much the better"
 "The game sounds familiar" unused Judge Herr. Suppose you get a hand that consisted only of diamonds-would that be a good hand?"
 "Very good, your honor"
 "Now suppose in your han | the cards were all of one suit and ran from the ace to the ten spot. Would that be better?" Oh, your honor, it would be lovely, exclaimed Sctiff, rubb- ing his hands joyfully.
