some little squirrels"
So he climbed the tree and put his hand
in the nest and pulled out a little squirrel
lie took It home and locked It up in AZ

WASHINGTON, d. c., March Z.
The statehood measure for New
Mexico and Arizona is stuck on
another snag. This time the
senate committee on territories Is
worrying over the question of
whether suffrage in the proposed
states shall be limited to those
who speak and write the English
language.
According to the majority of
witnesses who have been examin-
ed by the committee it is practi-
cally certain both states would be
democratic should such a limitd-
ton be made.
1t is therefore probable that 10
statehood legislation will pass
during the present congressional
session unless some provision 20
prevent disfranchisement of many
voters in the two territories is de-
vised.
Senators argue that if the Ari-
iona election law would be allow
ed to stand, one party would be
able to gain control of the election
machinery and forever jeopardize
the chances of another party BY
DISTINGUISHING it's voting members.

VICTORY FOR TOM JOHNSON IN
WHAT He REGARDS As DEFEAT

"a quarter, and which realizes the
municipality may own the lines as
soon as proper legislation is pass
led, gives Johnson credit for vic
tory.
During Cleveland's nine-year
war against the traction corpora
ton boys grew up to be men to
vote on the question; more than
100 injunctions were secured
(mostly by the traction company
against the city,; the entire plan
lof city government in Ohio was
upset; once the street cars were
hauled over pavements by horses;
once as coup Johnson laid q
stretch of competing line in a
night, planting poles in ash barrels
and laying the rails loosely on the
pavement; there was a bitter car
lstrike; one day everybody rode
free on the cars; there were three
long peace negotiations; a popuIa
ton of 100000 became almost ex-
perts in traction matters; the state
franchise referendum law "a John
son measure) was passed.; three
referendum elections were held in
Cleveland; Johnson was elected
mayor four times, defeating Sem
ator T. E. Burton and others, but
was finally defeated-last fall.
Nine years ago Johnson was
millionaire, in vigorous health,
with full, rugged muscles. Now he
is a worn, old man. Pouches sag
under his eyes. His mouth has the
pathetic droop at the corners, like
one who has had a great dream
only to be disillusioned. His hair
is nearly white. He has been
forced to give up his Euclid avenue
mansion and move to apartments.
But while he was fighting his
street railway battles he was CIV
ing an administration of city af-
fairs conceded to be the most
progressive Cleveland ever had.
He says stoutly he will fight on,
as citizen. His battle will be to
get state legislation permitting
Cleveland to buy it's traction sys-
tenn.
