Two state constitutional conven- tions are assembling in the far South west. On the path of the Aztec mi grafton in that colorful domain which Coronado and the priestly heroes joined to Spain and Rome. New Mex ico and Arizona are framing their fun damental laws. The new states. in- ciuding some of the oldest white set dement's in the New World and also the oldest native cities on the con tinent, are entering the Union in the flush of a new era in government. And towards the new method of ad- ministration Arizona Is radically friendly, New Mexico aloof and con- servative. The new states will there fore give a lesson to the older com monwealths in the real value of these ideas,
 Which of these ancient territories and new states will better succeed? Which VIII have the cleaner sovern- ment, the purer liberty, the more i'm provements, the better educational system. in five years? Or will the success of either be ascribed not at all to the institutions. and entirely 10 the citizens? Arizona Will have the referendum; Will she have better laws? New Mexico will not have the recall. will she have poorer officials?
 Americans do not permit sugges- tions to remain in academic ineuba- ton long. One by one the common wealths are trying them-cities are trying some and states are trying others. The country is large enough to give them a test, and in few years the rest of the country will know by actual view what compare tive fortunes comes to two states who enter the Union together, one as an American state with the old American ways. the other as follower of a Swiss model.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

That the initiative and referen- dunn will be incorporated into our constitution is a foregone conclusion, and it seems the only question at issue now is the percentage. The initiative and referendum operates in eight states If the union. and there is considerable variation as to percentage and other conditions Oregon, South Dakota, Maine. Mon tana. Oklahoma and Missouri have adopted this system of government, and dozen other states are moving to adopt it.
 Oklahoma's percentage is , and 8, with a certain percentage of coun- ties of the state necessary for it's adoption. Oregon has a similar pei cent, but it can be obtained in one county or more. Missouri requires ! 15 per cent, and 1t must be SC cured in every county in the state which nullifies the law absolutely ! The people of Arizona want this percentage made so it can be ap | piled when needed; but do not wan it so it can be made plaything of or to put power into the hands O
 designing persons or agitators t

 submit an instrument that will no
 only redeem the pledges of the dem

 the new state.

HANDLING HIGH EXPLOSIVES.

The definite official announcement that the Times disaster was caused by high explosives, added to the discovery os similar materials at the homes of General Otis and F. J.
 Zeehandelaar. emphasizes the fact that we are almost criminaly lax in our methods of dealing with a prob lem that has been met in far better fashion by every other civilized na- ton on earth says the Mining Re
 view. With this terrible example as a spur to action, it is time that the state of California took measures that will remove all danger of sim liar occurrences in the future and at the same time prevent fanatics of labor unionism or of any other cause. from exercising their frenzy in such hideous fashion. The whole matter is one which needs only the exercise of common sense in the creation of police regulations that will compel the registration of every purchaser of explosives and of those selected to handle them. At the same time more stringent laws re- garding the use of firearms should be incorporated in the statute books and thus remove one of the most prolific causes of crime and conse- quent policing expense. We presume that such a suggestion will be met in some quarters with the charge that it is calculated to interfere with
 precious personal liberty" but even so, the infringement upon the liberty which is really license will be for the greatest good to the greatest num- ber and will accomplish something practical towards rendering impos
 sible such terrible outrages as have disgraced this city. Prevention of crime is immeasurably better than the punishment of the criminal. after he has wrecked his insane vengeance and taken innocent life.

Little Problems of The Home.
 When Grandmother Spoils the Children.

This letter from a mother presents a difficulty that many a mother has had to meet
 My mother lives next door to me she writes. and she spoiis the chii- cren terribly. She gives them things 10 eat between meals. of which dis approve. She lets them throw their playthings around and clears them ur. lerself. and in many other ways completely upsets my teachings.

HoS can I get around the matter. so as not 10 hurt her feelings?"
 Doesn't that letter strike a respon- siye chord in many a mothers heart? How many a grandmother is spelling the children from the point of view of the young and progressive mother whose modern ideas Of chilG-training are in many cases diametrieaily op- posed to oldfashioned ideas.

 The grandmother. perhaps, does not think of this. It would be we'll to point few Of these facts out to her Teii her also plainly that when the children eat cream chocolate at II. they do not want any dinner at 12: that at they are hungry, and that cake then is not sufficient nourishment. Show her that such diet will in time make them puny and sickly, an6 is no kindness Let her know that when she continually feeds them on sweets between meals. they have no appetite for the more substantial food which Is necessary for them to eat if they are to be strong and healthy If the children are really hungry between meats. Ter her give them plain bread and but. ter. or fruit If she persists in dis. obeying these wishes. tell her quite frankly that the children will no; be permitted 10 visit her In case like this the chiidren's good should really come first, and If she wflfuily or obstinately insists upon following her own pleasure in the matter. the chil dren should not be allowed to become the sufferers.
 It should. of course all be done lovingly. for grandmother's heart Is very tender toward the grandchil- dren. and her conduct arises alto gether out of mistaken idea of love
 In the matter of picking up their piaythings. and otherwise trotiins around and waiting on them. enlser the children themselves in remetyir-- this. Tell them grandmother is lG and that it is the part of young gentleman or young lady to wait or her. They will quickly respond to this appeal and grandmother her self will be t!ckled at their atten- tons.
 It is a difhcult problem. but tact. patience and the spirit of love will solve 1t.

MR. ROOSEVELT NOT CANDID.

Mir. Roosevelt, among his many other recent demonstrations. has shown the country that he can be a popuiist and demagogue with the worst of them. His declaration that Tammany Hall and Wall street are in alliance against the republican ticket in New York, while made for the purpose of injuring the democratic party, is an acknowledgement that the republican party has lost the con- fidence of the business men of the country, says the Fl Paso Times.
 Mir. Roosevelt was not frank with the public He did not tell the peo- pie the whole truth with respect to the revolt of the business men of New York against the republican party, but he chose the populistic un- truth of classifying the business men as Wall Street"
 That subterfuge, however. will not deceive many, nor deceive them long. for every American citizen is now a student of politics and economies and | at no time in the country's history were the voters so well and so cor
 rectIy informed as to conditions, the
 causes that produced them and the
 remedies
 ! That the republican policies and tIeguslation are responsible for the
 unnatural and intolerable economic
 conditions that now distress the peo pie in the home on the farm in the
 workshop-everywhere where the peo pie in the sweat of their brows earn ttheir Hving-and only bring joy tc the luxurious offices of the great az gregations-the trusts-in whose in
 terests at whose behests and fol
 whose benefit the republican part, has legislated at the expense of ths people and the general business in lterests of the country
 . It is beyond the power of the so phistries or the gl.tteiing general ties or the personality of so able ant , influential an individual as even Mir Roosevelt to influence the people O. the business men to jeopardise thei f interests and the prosperity of th'
 country further by perpetuat.ng tn

IMPROVING COPPER CONDITIONS.

CONDITIONS.
 Despite numerous references to business stagnatlon and decline, it cannot be denied that the general business of the country is running along on a fairly good basis. A re sumption in railroad buying is looked sfor-in fact it may be said to have started. and with this particular feat ure of trade active again. return to normal conditions will not long be delayed. There is an inspiring tone to the copper market. Reports from the industry are generally fay- orable and it is believed that con- sumption is increasing and that sur plus supplies are being rapidly re duced. The curtailment of output will soon show in the refineries, and this, with increased consumption. will place the industry on basis more desirable. probably at an earlier period than has been antic- ipated by copper authorities says the Mining Record. Buying of copper shares in the New York and Boston markets is more pronounced and a lively market is anticipated. The public is mani testing more interest than for some time in the coppers and there are many things to indicate the stimula- ton of the copper industry. There are various phases of the copper situation at present which have not developed heretofore and which those compiling statistics of pro duction, consumption and estimates of available supplies have not taken into consideration. It is contended that business conditions abroad have not been so inactive as here, and that the decrease of consumption, resulting in lower figures for the metal here, has encouraged England to take up a considerable amount of copper and that that country now possesses more than it has immediate use for-or, in other words, what ever may take place in the way of reduction of surplus here, surplus has been accommodating in England which country will soon retire from the market, leaving the consumers here to absorb the production, which will mean cessation of surplus re duction. This is probably true, but it seems that Germany and its need and consumption of copper has beer almost forgotten in figuring the cop per situation.
 ID use of the metal and all information available fails to denote supply il that country much in excess of it immediate needs. In all other Euro pean countries there is wonderful awakening in electrical development and a corresponding increase in thei needs Of copper, and the extent t which these various countries vii enter into the buying of the meta within a short time promises to b such that surpluses either here o in England will not long hold up.
 Taking into consideration the COT ditions abroad and in this countr, f. is quite evident that there is
 change for the better-that. in fac the change toward this end has bee in evidence for some time For il stance, the figures of 1909 show a increase in the combined surplus ( approximately 13s.000.0e0 pound while for the first nine months ( the present year there has been
