rick Hunt, his heutenants and mani
 kins, with each succeeding hour. Let
 ters are pouring in urging expedi
 tion and the securing of a funda
 mental law which will meet with ap
 proval at Washington.
 This paper despises the Paarisaical
 ''l told you so,' but using it now
 Is not at all pharisaieal. Statehood was the paramount issue iH the last election. That was the position taken by the Republicans The party nominated its very best men, the finest men in each county in the Ter ritory, able men, brainy men, men ae- quainted, with the resources of the State and devoted to their develop. ment ,men acquainted with eonstitu- tional law, men who knew and would have respected the wishes of the great patriotic President of the
 United States, men who would ere this have had well under way a simple, common sense Constitution made up of a very few sound fund smentals, leaving to the first State Legislature the passing of expert mental legislation to which few, if any of the Republican candidates for delegates were antagonistie, and so guaranteeing the one proposition fundamental to every man, woman and child, and every industry in the Territory-namely, Statehood. for Arizona. j,..
 But the people were led astray by demagogues. The very ideas for which they voted are in fair way to- be indefinitely postponed, and iby Ethe very ineompetents they elect ed to send to the Constitutional con- .vention to secure them. This paper hopes and trusts for the best. It wants Statehood above all else. That is the one vital proposition before the present Constitutional convention. Thus far it has been utterly lost sight of at Phoenix. It is not vet too late to right about face by sufficient number of the Democrats to form a coalition with the Repub- hcans for the purpose of framing a Constitution which cannot fail of approval. It can be done by intelli- gent effort in three weeks at the outside. That means Statehood full and complete before the end of the Congress which meets in December.
 The barnacles have fastened them selves upon the Democratic party for all time. They are fastened upon the majority which is making an idiotic effort to appear as a dignified set of brainy law makers in the eap- ital at Phoenix. When Arizona trusts her welfare into such hands her case is hopeless. The Territory this very date, with the door of promise held wide open to her, is hopelessly stag mated. If the Democrats happen to win control of the next National House of Representatives, the coun- try is going to witness in Washing ton just what the people of Arizona are today witnessing in Phoenix.

THE ONE PROPOSITION.

Propositions nave been piling into the Constitutional convention by scores. Given the present rate oi proposition activity for another weel the convention will have enough tc keep them busy for weeks to come in merely sitting the wheat from the ehaff and then eliminating the rnsted grains. -.asf
 Nearly every experimental in the notorious Oklahoma calendar of Etatesmansnip has been thrust upon the convention in one form Or an ether. Up to Wednesday night not a single committee, with the excep- -4ion of the oRe on preamble, had made report, and still from the body of the house had been filed proposi. tions for the initiative, referendum and recall, direct election of United States Senators by the people, state control of corporations, prohibition, WOnan's suffrage, popular election of a Railway Commission, for the read ing of the Bible in the public
 
 schools, a eOrking anti-foreign corpor- ation measure, and scores more GOV eTing every economic i'll from which the people of Arizona are supposed to be suffering, and for which the corporations of Arizona, are charged with being responsible. .s. ...- .
 The one i great PROPOSITION which the delegates were elected to secure, namely, STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA, seems to have been lost sight of completely. The convention thus far has literally been nodge-
 
 pOdge, a .eonglomeration of words and befuddled, ideas. The one great prevailing idea seems to be to keep in session just as long as the pay hangs out, and to run the machinery in the interest. of the hungry Demo cratic party alone. .
 The Republican minority is wait ing for the breakup. It must come. There are some excellent men sand wiched in among the majority. They are party devoted, but not to the extent of party insanity which would sacrifice Statehood itself for an idiotie idea about party advantage.
 The only lawyers of ability in the convention are on the Republican side or among the so-called Conserva- tive Democrats, and thus far they have been strictly quarantined. The Den who are in the saddle, absolute ly running things to date, wouldn't recognize a corporation joker, an un- constitutional phrase killer, looking al either through a mental telescope interpreter. They are shouting about the rights of labor, and anathemizing capital without the slightest idea as to how to go about securing what they are pledged to secure. So far no one in the convention with the legal ability to guide them has been invited to do so. Brains are not at a premium in the convention assem- bled to frame a fundamental law for the State of Arizona Things appear to be drifting rapidly to the chaotic state, the small fry seemingly have bitten off more than they can chew. The Socialistic majority find them selves with a tremendous responsi- biity which they must meet or con sign the Democratic party in the Ter Titory to political oblivion. The lines of care and worry are deepening in the faces of George Washington Pat

where his energy and good judgment won for him
an enviable measure of success, and as floor
broker with seat on the Cotton Exchange he has
executed orders from some of the largest opera

Baskerville began his work in the Uni

Gently on Radium. Charlie Stockard IS generally
remembered as a bird-egg collector who spent
most of his spare time in the forests watching
BIRDS snakes and insects, studying nature. After
graduating from the A. and NJ. College he took
his Phi. d course at Columbia University, making
biology his special subject. He has done eonsid.
erable original research investigating the habits
of fish in the lakes of Mississippi and Louisiana
at the Carnegie station the Tortugas Island and
at Woods Hole Mass One of his most notable
results was the artificial incubation of one-eyed
fish (Cyclops) which Professor Mall of the John

WITH OUR EXCHANGES
The WILLIAMS INTERVIEW.

Some long and ear-piercing howls of anguish
are being emitted because Senator-elect John
Sharp Williams has seen fit to express his opinion
on the pending senatorial contest.
The contention that Mr. Williams should be
''hands off, in the present contest is nothing
short of baby talk
John Sharp Williams is q years of age. able
to read and write, has a fair conception of the
meaning of Mississippi's constitution, and of the
constitution of the United States and has paid all
taxes assessed against him.
In other words, John Sharp Williams is a
qualified eector of the state of Mississippi, and
has the God-given right to express opinion
whenever he sees fit to do so.
Furthermore, the opinion of John Sharp Will
Jams carries weight. 1t is worth something be-
cause he is statesman and knows the qualiica-
tions that United States senator ought to pos
sess.
Keep your temper, gentlemen, keep your
temper! And above all things. bear in mind that
politics is game of give and take, and the man
who is unwilling to play it according to the rules
of the game, neither asking or giving quarter,
ought to quit
John Sharp Williams has not hit anybody be-
low the belt. He has simlly ventured his opinion,
as he had an inalienable right to do and the crti-
cisms of his interview nothing more than a
recognition of the fact that the opinion of Mr..
Williams is worth something.-Jackson News.

OUR THREE CHARLES.

AS was once thought in the East "All roads
led to Rome;" now it seems in this Western
world that all roads lead to Gotha n. New York
has for fifty years or longer been the Mecca to
which many of the brightest and braniest young
men of the South made their pilgrimages, not re-
turning but becoming identified with the life of
the great Metropolis Every profession and busi-
ness has prominent leaders drawn from the South
met jenkins, Metcalf, Polk and John Wyeth who
are at the top in surgery and medicine Mr.. Car
Isle, Roger Pryor, and many other big lawyers
the engineer McAdoo, who promoted and
built the first tunnel that connects Jersey City
with New York was a Tennessee boy. Judge
Lovett (Harriman's successor), the Inmans, Lath-
am and Alex ander and the banker Abrams are all
natives of the South. While it seems unfortunate
for so many of our best men to seek fame and
fortune among the NOrtherners, our loss is their
gain, and the fact has demonstrated to the world
that this section produces as fine specimens of the
race as are to be found in any country or cline.
Columbus is proud of her colony and without in
tending to make discrimination against any one
by failing to mention all, we are reminded by re-
cent reports of certain trio whom we have heard
designated as Our Three Charles" viz Capt
Chas MCGEE, DR.. Chas. Baskerville and Dr. Chas
Stockard The first had histrionc talent and
tried the stage but his health failing he gave up
that peaceful avocation and became conspicuous
actor upon the stage of war. After winning his
spurs and martial honors in the Philippines fight
ing with the heroic Lawton, he returned to the
States and embarked in another warfare little less
strenuous, the brokerage business on Wall Street;

Not until Congress, out of consideration for
the consuming public, wages war the food
trust will this country be in any other way than
in a state of unrest. This war is said to be on;
but as yet the results have not been felt. Each
day the prices food stuffs well on all nee
essary commodities rise higher and higher while
the consumer i2npatiently grows more helpless and
more unhappy. You hardly meet a persol who is
not complaining and won 2ering at the outrageous
way his bills up. He is unhappy because his
earnings have not increased in proportion and are
not in keeping with his outlay. The awful prob
lem of how to keep the wolf from the door,
stares him in the face. Is there any wonder that
there is unrest over these conditions? 1t does
seem that the limit of high prices have been
reached, and that some strong movement should
be directed against high taxation by our law
makers and those in a position to remedy condi
tions. The following poetry from the New York
Sun is timely just here
It's only cent a pound of meat
On loaf from the flour of the wheat,
And a cent on the clothes we've got to wear
And a cent on all that we eat
Oh, they haven forgot thing, my man,
From your shoes and your coat to your hat
Excepting the pay you earn each day
They've added no cent to that!
But every cent they add, my man,
Is a cent they've got to pay
When a halt we call to their greed and ALL
And that time will come some day
And the cent that you pay today. my man,
Today when you're sore opposed,
Will be yours when due-and it's up to you
To collect it with interest!
