TOO BLIND ID SEE

Poor Heleni I had always thought she would be able to see some time. But she is always sweet and cheer ful, and that is something to be thankful for" So said d close friend of young woman who had been blind since her early childhood.
 And it was true The girl was sweet and lovable and always cheer ful, putting to shame many normal woman with all her faculties unlm- paired. Every day she found some thing that gave her joy and added to the richness of her life.
 How many of us with sight and hearing. and speech and touch unim- paired. can find, or rather do find, something every day that adds to the sweetness and richness of our lives How many of us remain patient un- der ordinary afflictions? How many of us are cheerful under the petty little circumstances of our lives?
 Not many. Most of us are i'm patient. impracticable and unsatiSfied. We are in a world always in motion and like other individuals in that world. are always striving for tue unattainable. never satisfied, never at rest. The thing We long for today We forget about tomorrow. or V hen tomorrow comes, and it is ours. We throw it aside for something still un- attainable. So we go through lie never satisfied, never content and never really ourselves.
 Then. when We are in the most pitiable state of unappreciativeness. we run across some one whose fate is a very great deal worse than our own For a little while We try to extract a lesson and a moral, but our desire for reformation of our at titude towards the world is short lived and we are soon again back at our old fault-finding habits
 Persons who have always had their eyesight. who have not had only to open their eyes to see all the beau ties an Indulgent Father has given abundantly for his children's pleasure. will never fully appreciate their bless ings until some of them are taken away. Should one of them become temporarily blind a different moral attitude is assumed, and upon recov- cry. there comes bigger apprecia- ton of the value of unimpaired fac ulties and the realization of the blessings of life. Then We are willing to sing the Te Deum with all the full voice of grateful hearts. ready to acknowledge manifold blessings.
 But physical blindness isn't the only sightlessness likely to afflict mortals. There is moral blindness that en- tirely destroys ones appreciation of the beauty and the richness of every day life with which physical blindness Is a minor malady in comparison
 Poor Helen," All of us wish she and all like her might see. but We wish, too. that those whose moral eyesight has become blinded may also be brought to the light and see life in all it's fullness and beauty.

leaders of the socialist party. These
 leaders know that if the initiative and
 referendum and recall are adopted as
 basic principles of government, the
 American system of government will
 in time be destroyed, and upon the
 ruins will be erected a new form of
 government-either a despotism. or a
 government of socialism. They ex-
 pect that it will be socialism. The
 demand for these features in our con-
 stitution came from the socialists. and they forced the cowardly democratic
 politicians in the territory to accept
 them. The most potential organiza-
 ton of the socialist party in America
 today is the Western Federation of
 Miners This federation has done and is doing its utmost to stir up class feeling in favor of the "isIns" in the constitution. To this end, newspapers pretending to be out for reform" have been and are subsidized in the interest of the federation and the so- cialist propaganda
 Notwithstanding all this, however, The Republican ws1ld gladly accept statehood under this constitution or any other that might be written, for The Republican will continue to grow and prosper in any event, and can stand what the average citizen can stand
 We want statehood, above every thing else.
 We have objected. and do object, to the inclusion of these socialistic doc trines in the constitution. mainly be- cause they will defeat statehood. We have known from the first that state | hood would be lost with these things | in the constitution Washington will | not accept them.
 And this moves us to remark that | our correspondents inquiry is in no | sense practical, for it makes no diff ference how good the constitution 1 may be in some features if on the ! whole it is such a constitution as i will defeat statehood at Washington-J and this is precisely what it will do.
 It is regrettable that there is such l a lack of popular appreciation of the | advantages of statehood. We could | take our correspondent to a district | that is bisected by the line between | Texas and New Mexico. and show him land in Texas, exactly like the and across the lin-. in New Mexico. which sells for 50 per cent more in -he market, simply because it is in a So long as there is a tre- prejudice in the east against territorial government-so long as capital and immigration are withheld from the territories because of a gen eral although erroneous belief that fife and property in a territory are lnsafe and society and laws unstable, he territories will suffer from this prejudice. Nothing is conceivable hat would benefit Phoenix, the Salt River valley and Arizona generally so much as statehood

More Graft Than Good in For
eign Missions

Dear Sir:-What places me in the
class with Mark Twain is the shame
full waste of money, which really
amounts to Graft" of criminal
character on the machinery of the
Church, and this at the expense of
our home missionary people and
work.
To illustrate: Some years ago it
was ascertained that the Missionary
Board of the Congregational church
was collecting $435, 900 annually in
cash, and that $85, 900 annually in
cash went into the expense account
in the administration of the total
sum collected Led by Rev. Hop
kins, Of the Pilgrim church in Chi
cago, and Rev. Bradley, of Grand
Rapids, we made a fight, and cut it
down about $4,000. The Board
was using more than two-thirds of
this $4,000 paying salaries to sec
retaries and sub-secretaries, and
New York. At these apartments
there were banquets-with high
priced cigars to top-off with-alI
paid for out of money contributed
for home missionary work In the
u1SduCluO, the nome missionary
workers in the West were begging
for the pittance of a salary long over
due. These workers were being
crucified by the expensive machin-
cry of the Board.
The Foreign Board pays the work
ers in Ceylon and Japan a salary
which, in view of the purchasing
power of dollar in these places, is
more than six illness greater than
our home missionaries are paid, and
they accomplish nothing. The mis-
sionaries at Colombo, and at Maya
saki, told me that they could not
make Christians of either the Mos
lens or the Buddhists. They were
having a good time, and money to
spare.
I wish l could sit down with you
and give you an account of what
learned in actual contact with this
system. 1t is shameful. Rotten to
the core.

BOUGHT FOR $1,000
OFFERED $4,000
Farm Values Going up and
We Have Only just Got
Started
HUMID DECLINES OFFER
Says He can Make More by
Running the Farm Him
self.

About fourteen months ago Bob
Miller sold, for $3.50 an acre, a
quarter section REIMBURSEMENT,
about three miles southeast Of town,
to John Humid, whose fame has now
gone out to all New Mexico. One
year ago he finished his fiftcen-hun-
gallon-per-minute we'll and put
out a small acreage of crops that
were very successful. He kept
right on clearing off the mesquite
and sage and this year his cleared
acreage will reach 80 or more, most
Of which will be under crops, good,
elegant, cash-producing crops, all Of
'em, alfalfa included. Mr.. Humid
knew how and he has put his know
ledge into practical use.
The other day a friend of his
dropped off to spend the day and
when he saw how the desert could
be made TO blossom as the rose in
80 short a time, he grasped the sit
uation and thought he would invest
in little 1898 real estate. He fig
ured the fabulous profits Of good
farming here and allowed as how he
would like to try some of 1t. He
therefore offered Mr.. Humid one
hundred large round dollars per
acre for the whole quarter section,
or a total Of sixteen thousand dol
lars. We admit that this big offer
ought to tempt most anybody, but
the veteran lrrigationist declined
the big offer with thanks. He told
the GRAPHIC that the offer would
appear tempting but that there was
a greater profit In not accepting
it, as his percentage Of profit on the
developed land would be greater
than the price offered. when the
time il would take to develop an
other farm Is taken into consldera'
ton,
The $l00-an-acre offer stands
good for four months, but there Il
no probability Of its being accepted
We believe Mr.. Hund's judgment
absolutely sound In this matter.
