Just now Arizona and New Mexico
are knocking loudly for admission
into the Union and they will, in all
probability, be the last applicants to
seek such admission.
From the best information obtain
able there is probably population of
100000 in the Territory of New
Mexico at this time. 1t is 260 miles
north and south, by 346 miles east
and west and contins 122, $50 square
miles, within its borders.
1t is estimated that an actual val
uation of property within the Ter
ritory would represent more than
$500. 100000. In addition to this.
there are many homesteads under
cultivation and many mining claims
where patents have not yet been is
sued and which are still exempt
from taxation. There are probably
400 miles of railroad recently con-
structed and exempt from taxation
for six years. 1t is extimated that
there are nine billion tons of coal
in the Territory. The value of these
resources. not yet subject to taxation
and of undeveloped resources. is
probably not less than $500, 100000.
The school census taken in 1908
showed 93,S94 children of school age.
the school buildings alone being esti-
mated to be worth $1,000,000. Re
ligious denominations show an en-
rollmert of more than 5000 pupils.
In New Mexico agriculture is
mainly conducted by irrigation along
the river valleys of the San Juan,
Rio Grande. the Mimbres, the Can
adian, the Cimerron, the Gila, the
Pecos and their tributaries.
Commercially, the Territory shows
about 5000 miles of railroad in
operation. ten daily newspapers and
one hundred weekly papers. There
are forty-one national banks and nu-
merous Territorial and savings
banks.
Arizona was a part of the terri
tory that was acquired from Mexico
by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidlgo,
February 2, 1S4S. and by the Gads-
den purchase of 1853, and was a part
of the Territory Of New Mexico.
from which it was separated and or
ganized into a Territory.
1t is 378 miles long by 339 miles
wide and contains 1890 square
miles, and it is believed that when
the census of the present year is
taken it will show a population of
about 100000. 1t has grown rapid
ly since the census of 1900, as indi-
Gated by the receipts at various
postoffices in the Territory.
The population of Arizona is al
most wholly that of Americans SO
per cent being of that nationality, l3
per cent MeXicans, IL per cent In
dians, and 6 per cent foreign nation
alities.
Both of the great political parties
in the last campaign pledged them
selves to the admission into the
Union of New Mexico and Arizona.

May Save Big Sum.

May Save Big Sum.
There may be complete reorgani-
zation of the Treasury Department.
1t is expected that by an expendi-
ture of 100000 the Treasury will
save at least $1,0O0,0O0 a year, and
probably a great deal more in operat-
ing expenses. The work of the var
ious bureaus is to be gone over care
fully and various economies now in
contemplation effected. All this is
contingent, however. upon the appro-
priation of the 100000 which As
sistant Secretary Norton, of the
Treasury, has asked the House Ap-
preparations Committee to include in
the legislative, executive, and judicial
appropriation bill for the fiscal year
1911.

CASE STANDS REVERSED
Supreme Court OverruIes Petition For
Rehearins in Case Of Minerva Wal
tiers VS.. City-Vietory fer Former
City Attorney-Echo of Senatorial
Campaign.

The supreme court Of Iowa has over
ruled the petition for rehearing in the
case of Minerva B. Walters, ct al, VS..
the city of Marshalltown, as made in
an application of the plaintiff following
a reversal of the lower courts decision.
The action of the supreme court sends
the case back to the district court of
this county for trial, providing the
plaintiff cares to retry the case.
The action brought by Mrs. Walters
and her husband against the city was
for alleged damages by reason of over
flow of water from the Twelfth avenue
grade. In the district court, in the fall
Of 1908, Mrs Walters was given a
Judgment for 1880. C. H. Van Law,
then city solicitor, appealed the case and
get a reversal, after which the appelle
petitioned for rehearing, which has
now been denied.
The final action in the case is in a
way an echo of the senatorial cam
paign in this county, when Mr.. Van
Law and Mayor Ingledue were oppos-
ing candidates before the primaries. In

red to the expensiveaess of attorneys
and lawsuits. especially in the Walters
case, which had cost the city so much
money and had resulted in defeat. The
mayor said at that time that he could

The mayor will now have his oppor-
tunity to settle for the reversal Of the
verdict and denial of rehearing puts the
litigation back to the starting point.

Bennett is one man in Congress
from the State of Kentucky in
whom colored Americans, es-
specially, have the most implicit
confidence. The Bee will al
ways welcome such men to the
National Legislature halls. The
nation is proud of him, because
he is a man of liberal thoughts
and actions. The ninth district
of Kentucky could not have sent
a better and more deserving
man to Congress, and may he
always retain the confidence and
respect of his constituents.

NEGRO BANKERS

Fresh impetus is being given
the rumor, in the last few days,
that John c. Napier, of Nash
vile, Tenn, will be provided for
by this Administration. II Mr.
Napier is taken care of, the Pres
ident will not only be recogniz-
ing a big, brainy, high classed
gentleman, but he will at the
same time be recognizing that
strong, enterprising and success
full contigent of the race, the
Negroes, engaged in business,
who have contributed more, if as
much, to the material advance
ment of the race as the Negro
bankers. The fact that there has
been but one Negro bank failure
in all the years of Negro banking
is the best possible recommends
ton for the character, stability
and ability of the Negroes en-
gagged in the banking business.
1t has been the custom of every
administration, from Washing
ton down, to give recognition to
the banking institutions of the
country in the Treasury Depart
ment, but it is but recently that
the Negroes have entered the
great field OF finance as bankers.
The race is proud of her Negro
bankers. and their great success.

THE SHADOW OF THE SUB
STANCE

From the Cleveland. O., Gazette. J
Some person in this city has i'm
posed upon a New York exchange by
sending it a letter naming number
Of Afro-AmericanS as having been
appointed to clerkships and lesser po-
sitiOns by Mayor Baehr, the total
number being less than one-half the
number of positions given our peo-
pie by the previous (Democratic) ad-
ministration, Mayor Tom L. John
sons The fact is, the present (Baehr
Maschke) city administration has not
given single clerkship to a member
Of the race, and a number of those
mentioned as having received ap-
pointments have never been given
the positions promised. The only
Afro-American appointed to a
clerkship, and that a third-clasS po-
sition of the kind and in the water
works department at the city hall,
has never been allowed to take the
place because of his color. This is
no secret, but is generally known
throughout the city. To get rid of
him as a clerk, a place was found for
him down on the lake front in the
city yard, learning the stock"
(handling pipe, etc }, and he a grad
uate of Western Reserve University
There are a number of others, named
in the New York paper as having
been appointed to positions, who have
not Jared as we'll as he has. AS yet
they have not been allowed to Eli
them Why lie about such things !?
Why not tell the truth and shame, if
possible, the Baehr- -Maschke admin
istration into treating its black con-
tingent at least half way decently and
fairly? A few box-heaving, broom
handling, spittoon and barn-cleaning,
and garbage hunting jobs are, as BIZ
shop Derrick we'll said when here a
few Sundays ago, but petty jobs at
best and not worth making so much
noise about" Some Negroes are so
Internally Cheap" and hungry for
any kind of political job, that it
seems they are willing Ito lie like the
very old mischief to cover up the re-
fusal of their white" political mas
ters to give them decent appoin-
ments, anything like they ought to
give to the intelligent of our people
The fact is, the Baehr- Maschke city
administration has given the Afro
Americans of this community the sha-
dow for the substance in the matter
of positions, and precious little of the
shadow, up-to-date.

COMING CHANGES

Postmaster General Frank
Hitchcock, the politician of the

time the President will supervise
the selections made by the Post

Grant and other big dignitaries
of the A. M. E. African Church
will be asked how the selections
will suit colored Americans thru

TWO GOOD APPOINT
MENTS

The long expected and antici-
pated beginning OF making Ne
gro appointments was inaugu-
rated by the President last week
when he appointed w. D. John
son, of Lexington, KY, to a ST.
500 position in the Land Office,
and Nelson Crews, of Kansas
City, to a $1,000 position in the
Agricultural Department. In
both instances the President op-
ened up new places to the race,
places that have never heretofore
been filled by Negroes. Not on
ly is he to be commended for
making the appointments, but for
opening up new places in which
representatives of the race may
have an opportunity to make
good. In both these appoint
ments he also recognizedNegroes
whose loyalty to him cannot be
questioned - Negroes who were
Loyalty for him even in the pre-
convention days. And in each
case the appointee is a capable
representative of the race. The
Bee commends the President for
making these appointments.

cock.
The National Committeeman
for the District of Columbia is a
political nonentity at this time,
and between now and the next
election he will have to step
down and out, because he is un-
able to deliver the goods to the
faithful allies who supported him
in the election of 1908.
The Bee has been patiently
waiting for the District Nation
al Committeeman to show his
power, but up to the present time
he has failed to secure a spittoon
washers place. 1t is amusing to
see the Juggling of the braves
and the failure OF the new poll
ticians to land or even to see
President Taft. The few Dis
trict politicians have been crawl
ing and begging for some time,
and all without success.
The last election of delegates
from this city was a gigantic
farce, and the Administration
knows it; and so far as the in
fluence of the delegation pos
sessed in the last convention, it
amounted to nothing.
