Roosevelt

The most influential personality in the world today is Theodore Roosevelt; even his bitterest oppo- nents must concede the truth of this. With tens of millions of peo- pie on his eide, thinking his way, ready to go where he leads, his power is even greater than the power of money.
 Theodore Roosevelt's personal power over mems minds and hearts is hardly less in foreign countries than it is in the United States. His prestige is becoming enhanced every day. He is the greatest figure in international no less than in ra- tional politics.
 One need not be surprised to see him become chief justice of the in. ternational court of arbitration and the chief advocate of general dis armament.
 It may be that his field is al- ready world wide and that he is already too big man to confne the exercise of his powers to the politics or statesmanship of one nation alone. .-El Paso Herald.

Farms for the People

A movement headed by Miss Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, and supported by a num- Der of wealthy women is to be launched which appeals to US as a good move, says the Denison Her. aid. It is the purpose of these wo men to buy up large tracts of land in different sections of the country and then place on these lands the ne'er- -do-wells and poorer classes of the cities. The farms will either be sold to these people on installments or they will be leased to them. The idea is now being worked out by Miss Morgan with every probability of it's being put through. Work oi this character can be done by these women of wealth in way that ought to insure results. The scheme is one in which much interest will be taken.
 This plan ought to do good in 8 great many ways. It would help develop some of the undeveloped lands in many parts of the county. Miss Morgan is doing excelle nt work among the poorer classes in New York and her latest scheme will appeal to the people through out the entire country.

THESE PREDICTIONS
 "BEAT" ALL OTHERS

Among the gloomy prophecies made concerning Halley's comet the most famous is of Mme. Thebes, the French woman who has attained distinction by her prediction of some nota able events. Mme. Thebes' cheerful" outlook contains these statements:
 ''The year 1910 will be one to look back to with trembling.
 "The earth is under a terrific strain from comets and planetary revolutions. Human destiny is red That means blood. Political events are black. Terrific charges are eminent.
 "This winter Paris will be swept by floods. Paris will be under water. The influence of form changes in other planets and the coming of a comet will affect us for the worse.
 "The strain of the stars will be be most severely felt in America. The people of America will have to pay dearly for all their riches and sudden prosperity. With the con- ing of another comet disaster will settle upon America.
 "A financial crash is impending, to be followed by long string of suicides. Black ruling us. men will commit all manners of crimes and knaveries for money.
 "The times are swaying toward degeneration. We are swinging within the evil influence of strange orbit. Our souls are jared from their proper bearings. I dare not say all that is revealed to me. It would be too terrible"
 Mme. Thebes would seem to have said quite enough. Her predictions have amused the astronomer, who point out that the comet cannot possibly harm mankind, and who recall all the comet scares of the past to emphasize their point that humanity is in no danger.
 So. why worry?

MINING disasters this year have been of extraordinary frequency. Before the dead of one calamity can be brought up from the shafts an- other has occurred to. augment the list of victims. No other land is so careless of the lives of miners; and yet in no other land do their ser. vices so much enrich the state. The neglect of proper enforcement of mining regulations is one of the most serious of our sins of omission as a people and as a nation. How much longer will it last?

HALLEY's comet arrived on time in Williams, and is doing business at the Sd me old stand in the western sky. On May Is, the comet was 100000 miles from the earth. and on that day we passed through it's tail and few who have seen it will live to see so long a tail again Everybody has been worked up with curiosity to see what might happen when the tail of Hallev's swept the earth. The astronomers lave kept us in something of a stew, because of their failure to agree as to how it would effect us on this planet. Some claimed that the great tail would diffuse gases deadly to life; others: said no, that it would not. come in such close contact as to be in any way detri mental 10 life; while others have claimed that none oi it's tail feathers would touch us. We cannot go in. to review of all that has been said and written atout Halley's,-it would make too long a tale.

GOVERNOR SLOAN
 ON STATEHOOD

In speech at the Clnco de Mayo celebration at Tucson, Governor Sloan said he regarded the status of the statehood bill as very en couroaging. Regarding the provis- ions of the bill he said:
 "There is considerable opposition to the section providing for the submission of the constitution tc the president and the national con. gress and an effort will be made to amend that section. Amended or not, believe the bill will pass ii the friends of statehood regard the passage of some law as of greater importance than the passage of their own particular bill.
 Personally, there are some fea- lures of Beveridge bill which I do not altogether approve. but cer- tainly do approve of that part pro- viding for the qualification of voters However, I believe it to be a mis- take to recede from the six months quali6cat ton feature. Most of the immigration to Arizona is Amer ican and intelligent. We are con- stantly inviting people from other sections to come here and make their homes with us, and having done this, we ought to give them right of franchise within six months. The objection that such law would permit colonization is nonsense. No one is going to come out here and reside six months for the priv ilege of voting in Arizona"
 Governor Sloan stated that if the bill is passed at any time before July 1 there is no reason why the constitution should not be in the hands of the president and congress early in February in time for it's approval. by the 4th of March. A great deal will naturally depend upon the length of time taken by the constitutional convention in framing the constitution. In Gov. Sloan's opinion congress should take final action on the statehood bill during the month of June at the latest, and as he doesn't believe that it would take more than thirty days for a constitutional assembly to complete it's work he sees no reason why the great day may not come on or before March 4 of next year.

THE STATEHOOD BILL
 AS OTHERS SEE IT

MT. Taft revealed no state secret when he made it known in his speech at Passaic. N. J., Monday night, that political considerations are serving to hinder the passage Of the statehood bill-that fears are suggested that Arizona and New Mexico when admitted will elect democrats to the United States sen ate, says the Arizona Republica n. All close observers of conditions at Washington are familiar with the facts.
 There is, however, more pretense than genuine fear in these sugges- tions. The fear that the senators from the two new states may be democrats is not the controlling factor. Senators who are even ap- proximately informed on political conditions in the country know very we'll that all the odds are in favor of republican supremacy in New Mexico. and that in Arizona the democratic party has but little advantage over the republican party that in this territory there is at least a fine fighting chance for the republican So that at the worst, from a republican standpoint. the party will lose nothing by admit ting the two territories-the most the democrats can reasona bly hope for is the election of two of the four senators.
 The real objection, hidden behind this pretended fear that the demo- cratic party will gain four senators, is the eastern objection to increas- ing western membership in the sen- ate. To the provincial customer all western men look alike-it makes no difference whether they wear republican or democratic label and all are equally objectionable. To this provincial class in the senate it Is not worth while to make an appeal. But to republican sen- ators who are broadly American the senators who have at heart the welfare of the republican party we do not hesitate to give the as surance that they will never have occasion to regret the passage of the statehood bill at this session. Pro- vided the bill goes through at this session, the republican party in this territory will be placed in a posi- ton to make an aggressive cam paign, with excellent prospects for electing state officers and United States senators. And if the repub lican party does carry the state, our senators will be loyal support CTS of President Taft and the repub. lican platform.
 On the other hand, however, if unwise political counsels prevail at -Washington-if statehood legisla- tion is not enacted at this session. staggering blow will be dealt the republican party of Arizona. It will not only be practically useless to make a territorial campaign this fall but it will be years before the party can recover the lost gronnd. As President Taft pointedly stated in his Passaic speech, the promise of the republican platform is clear on the question of statehood. If this promise is broken at Washington, the party in Arizona will have to pay dearly for the broken pledge.
