The best way to build up a town is to stand by every man in the place who does right. Whenever a man is doing well, do not tear him down. All residents should be partners, not business your rival does the more you will do. Every businessman who treats his cstomers honestly. cOur- teously and fair will got his share. the more business that can be secured by united efforts, the better it will be for all. When a town ceases to grow it begins to die and the more the peo- pie try to kill each others business in their town. the more readily will utter ruin come 10 all Stand together for the advancement Of every citizen. If man shows ability to prosper, do not pull him down through jeal- ousy or weight him down through cold indifference. Scatter the flowers .of encouragement in his way while he lives. One rose to the living is worth more than a whole boquet to the dead.-Arizona Democrat

THE PAROLE OF
FEDERAL PRISONERS.

Congress seems to be quite as much impressed with the new notions about the parole of prisoners and the proba- ton system as many Of the individual states appear to be. Congress has recently passed a law which will, if the president approves it. make things decidedly easier for the constantly increasing nnumber of Federal prison CTS who are incarcerated for violating the Federal statutes.
 Under the new law any Federal prisoner who is sentenced to a year or more and for less than a lifetime. who has not had @ previous conviction and has behaved himself well, is en- titled to his parole after having served one-third of his term. If in any way he violates the term of his parole he may be ordered back to prison. There is to be a parole board in each judi eial district consisting Of a Federal judge. some private citizen and the superintendent or prisons at Washing ton These are to determine in each case whether a convict is entitled to a parole and issue orders for his re- lease
 This law is yerg similar to the pa. role and probation systems now in force in a number of the states. Where the new system has been tried it is said to have worked well, and that the number O: paroled prisoners who ve.nance gives them an opportunity to small The whole idea is that where prisoners remain in prison for long terms Of years for first effenses they ttNAllAE NaAa4A- AAEA tA4l4AL4a4G MALA AAA- tie hope Of reformation, whereas the release of first offenders after a cer- tain period on parole and under sur violate their parole is extremely redeem themselves and become again useful citizens. In some states the system is further amplified by the suspended sentence; that is. the trial judge is empowered, if in his opinion the circumstances justify it to suspend sentence and place the convicted pris- .oner on probation without a term ln prison at all
 Whether the test Of years will dem onstrate the new ideas to be correct or not Congress is evidently deter
 mined that the Federal Government
 shall be a party to the experiment.

seem hilariously anxious to become tools. Now the people of the country want statehood and the people of Ari. zona are keeniy anxious for autonomy and are willing to take almost any kind of statehood. but they arc ashamed Of the way the statehood bill is being kicked around by the sen ate. These people are entitled to statehood as an American right; they have the country and the population. and they want this matter settled up- on it's merits. Just a present they are being used as a football for the sen atorial shysters. Mind cuts no figure. right and free government are not con sidered. If the railroads and eorpor- atlons can benefit by the admission Of Arizona and New Mexico they will be admitted; if not they will not be ad- milted.

STATEHOOD DEPENDS
 UPON THE DEMOCRATS.

Recent developments at Washing ton indicate that the territories of Arizona and New Mexico will get statehood at this session of congress after all-but at the hands of the democrats.
 Circumstances have so shaped themselves at the national capital hat the republican leaders find them elves backed up against the wall in Q defensive attitude. and the only at 'itude that now presents itself .s one of compromise with the demo crats.
 The successful fight waged by the insurgents has completely changed ,he complexion of matters generally and now the regulars are making overtures to the democrats seeking Id in pushing through pet measures. The newest proposition is one asking the democrats to vote as a body. or at least as a majority, against all amendments offered to the railroad tn by the insurgent republicans. In return the democrats are to re- oeiye aid from the regulars in the l passage of certain other matters par hcularly in the matter of passing the bills calling for statehood for Ari zona and New Mexico.
 Should a compact be arranged be- tween the democrats and the regular republicans, the fact that the demo crats have taken up the champion ship of the territories will rebound greatly to their advantage.
 Republican papers have all along been exceedingly abusive towards the denocrats generally insisting in the faoo of all evidence to the contrary, tha the democrats are constantly seeking to block the statehood meas ure
 Observers of events at Washington, nov ever, have long since determined Ina. the republican party, despite its platform pledges and despite its con rolling majority. intends giving the territories as little attention as pos sible and is in DO hurry whatever to grant statehood.
 But the predicament of the regu ars in congress has placed the re publican party in an awkward posi- tion and has given the democrats a stTategical position which it is to bs hoped they will make use of.
 Should the statehood bills pass al his session as the result of an all ance between the regulars and th. democrats. all due credit must bt given by the people of the territories to their real friends-the democrats
