THE STATUS
 OF STATEHOOD.

One of our neighbors not long ago insisted that it had never believed in the pretensions of Explorer Cook, and had claim to the doubtful dis tiac1ion of being the only paper on the Pacific coast that had steadfast- lv refused to be convinced that Cook was not anything more than a North Pole bubble. The International can lay no such flattering unction to its soul. It believed in Cook and his barrel of gum drops, but it never has had much faith in Cameron and his promised statehood for Arizona. Taken altogether one is about as biz bubble as the other. From pit 10 platform Cameron announced that in ninety days he would ac- complish by means of the glad hand" that which the gray matter 
 Of Mark smith had failed to do in twenty years. He in nowise con yinced the unbelieying. but inasmuch as the admission of the territories had been made a national pledge, and as Mir Taft had declared him self bound by the platform of his party, the moment seemed auspici- ous. the badger was ready for the pulling, and if gray matter coulo not pull the badger out of the hole the glad hand could. Cameron was given the string and told to pull. and he did 50 with about the usual re- ward that generally goes with such undertakings. So far as the actual results are concerned Cameron is not altogether to blame He is do- ing the best he can. We all know he is doing the best he can. We all know that his efforts in the di- rection of statehood are not knee high to a duck. and had he cam palgned on good intentions instead Of positive declarations. his position would have been less ridiculous than it now is He undertook an i'm possibility and failed even to the fullest measure Of anticipation. Three times or more an enabling act. perhaps better known as state hood bills. have passed congress al most without dissenting vote. The friendship Of the lower house Of the national legislature the people o. Arizona have always had but killing time came and came always wher the measure reached the house o lords. better known as the senate Of the United States, where tho bin was deliberately smothe-ed C death in a pigeon hole.

BURGLARS GET $3.50
Henley Held up and His Store and

Word was received here yester-
day morning by constable Tim Cal

Mr.. Henley at Colburn, a station

men got $27 80 from the store, and
the Herald was unable to gather
any information as to what was
taken from the Postoifice. The

notified and sheriff Merritt, Collins
and Hutchinson started for the
scene Of the robbery. 1t was easy
to track the men in newly fallen
snow, and were found between
and 2 o'clock yesterday morning in
cabin near Ponderay. In some
manner IN taking the men, one
of the men must have resisted the

it is reported he died.

The following is a portion of Mr.

Hon. S. D. Taylor, State Auditor,
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
On the occasion of visit which
l made to your office in September
last you informed me that you ex-
pected to assist in formulating
some needed changes in our reve-
nue. laws and you were kind
enough to ask me to submit to you
any suggestions that might occur
to me az result of my study of
the existing laws,
It would seem both proper and
wise, for us to consider what parti-
fcular lines of industry we would
Ndesire most to develop, encourage,
and promote, and to frame our laws
with at least moderate and rea-
sonsble reference to those consider
atoms. | think there can be no
argument against the proposition
that the first IN importance of
these industries is that of agricul-
ture, and indeed, both. the prinoi-
i pie involved and my suggestion OF
its most important . application,
appear to have occurred to the
trainers of our OWE constitution.
| would therefore recommend
4 the passage of law
Exempting from taxation a rea-
sonable amount, say 80 per cent
up to definite limit, of improve
ments on lands actually used fol-
agricultural purposes, and exemp'
ting all improvements on home
steads upon which final proof has
not been offered. improvements
are defined in Sec. 1646.)

4 HOSPITAL SITE
 FOR CONSERVATIVES
The Supervisors Yesterday Purchased
 the Cummings Tract.

The supervisors yesterday completed negotiations for a site for a hospital for cOnsumptives who are unable to avail themselves of other hospitals and sanitariums The site is on what is known as the old George Bernard place lying between Phoenix and Tenn De and embraces ten acres. The prop erty was lately owned by w. T. Cum mings Who receives S250.
 The ground is of such a character that it can never be brought under cultivation, consisting of small gray ely hills, worth nothing except for a site for a hospital and for the purposes for which it has been bought it is worth more than any other land in the valley for there is not a dryer spot anywhere.
 Arrangements will be made immedi- ately to advertise for plans for a building or buildings and the hospital will be got ready for the reception of inmates this fall.
 In this move the board is acting in conjunction with the Associated Char tiles. There has been some such re- lation before with respect to the con- sumptive patients at the county hos pitaI But that is not a good place for those suffering of tuberculosis on account of the irrigation in that vicin- ity nor IS the presence there of tuber- culosis patients a good thing for the other inmates.

S6,4OO; Dickens. s6,OOO; Kipling, $6,0OO; Thackeray, s6,0O0.
 J. C. O'Brien of Elmira, N. Y, is like wise mentioned by a witness. Mr. OBrien took Mir. Roosevelt's works at the absurdly low price of $2500. but he made up for this apparent niggard- Illness by paying $3,200 for Robert Louis Stevenson.
 If these authors are not best sell CTS, then We would like to know what best sellers are, They make the regu7 lar $15O best seller look like a cheap imitation of an admitted counterfeit. They relegate the G. B. McC.s and L. J. Us to the amateur class.
 It is good to realize all this-to un- derstand that under the surface and in spite of the apparent neglect of Shake speare and other standard writers they are still so strong in popular favor that people unhesitatingly give several thousand times as much for their works as for the more ephemeral liter ary products.
 Incidentally, it is Illuminating to be reminded that there are two kinds of book agents: those to whom the signs refer and those who drop casually in on the wealthy and ask any number of thousands for any author they have to sell

NOMINATIONS ARE IN ORDER.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 A Los Angeles man has nominated Theodore Roosevelt for the first World president. As nominations seem to be in order wish to be the first to place in nomination probably the only per son that could be elected to that office without evoking deep national jealous ies and animosities.
 1 have no word Of disparagement for MT Roosevelt. I concede him a preeminent position as a world char acter. l, with all the world, admire him for his manliness, courage, hu- manity, as well as his wisdom, expe- rience and statesmanship.
 The first World president, if such. a consummation is possible, will not be Roosevelt, King George nor Kaiser Wilhelm. Neither a Count Witte nor a Delcasse will be considered The task of organizing such a tremendous piece of machinery as a nation world wide is too stupendous for one mind to undertake. no matter how versed in statecraft. The biggest, brainiest statesmen of all the nations, in the cabinet and parliament of this new world nation, will rear together the structure that will overshadove the combined nation building of all pre- vious history.
 My candidate will have no opposing democratic party at home; no papal episode to hush up or explain away; no Egyptian hyena to tame.
 The strong, the brave, the wise, the patriotic of the whole world will rally to her support. forgetting jealousies. burying bickerings and strife. The whole world loves her in a measure far greater than any other individual. Her name is a synonym for Peace; her sympathies as worldwide as the na- tion of which she will be the first president.

THE PERMANENT BEST SELLERS

We used to believe that George Barr were producing the best sellers of the day.
 But that was before we read the testimony of George A. Lamb, edition de luxe book agent. in his suit for $60.000 of alleged commissions against a Chicago book firm.
 We now realize that Shakespeare, Roosevelt. Dickens. Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Poe, oscar Wilde, Bulwer- Lytton, Kipling, Thackeray and few others are the only authors that really sell. ~
 The proofs are overwhelming While nobody gives over $150 for one of MT. McCutcheon's books, here is Mrs. George White of Marietta, Ohio, giv- ing $l5,500 for a single set of Shakes peares works. There it is in the testi- mony
 And here is Mrs. Martha E. Wash burn of Brookline. Mass, purchasing a more modest edition of the same bard's works for $S.500, and at the same time cheerfully yielding up $4,700 for a set of Dickens.
 And while the department stores are cutting G. B. McC. and l.. J. l.. to $11S at the book counters, w. l.. De Buys of New Orleans is finding these prices not unreasonable: Scott. first edition. S14,SO0; Poe's works, $6,000: Roose- velts works, $6.000; Bulwer-Lytton,
