CERTAIN politicians are counting the"chicks before they are matched" ]" One democratic paper has already apportioned the delegates to the constitutional convention and has 1t figured out that the democrats are absolutely certain of twenty-six delegates. It gives the republicans eight delegates, leaving sixteen in the doubtful column. But the editor who made the partisan apportion. ment and elected the delegates on paper failed to do the right thing for ::Coconino county. He gives this county only two delegates. al- though it should have from three to five. Of course this is repub- lican county and this accounts for it. One consolation we have here in Coconine county is the fact that when the time come the republican election board will give us without gerrymandering what we are justly entitled to have.

Ir has been decided by the house

IT has been decided by the house com mittee on post offices and post roads to include in the appropria- ton bill about to be reported a provision prohibiting the post office department from furnishing stamp ed envelopes containing the names and addresses of the business houses to which they are supplied. These envelopes were especially in favor with banking firms. For a number of years various printers unions throughout the country have been protesting against the post office departments invasion of the print ing field. Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota presented bill in the senate few months ago prohibit the government printing of return cards on envelopes.

ARIZONA MAY GET TWO
 REPRESENTATIVES,

That under the provisions of the Beveridge Dillingham; statehood bill Arizona is entitled to two repre- sentatives in the lower house of congress is a fact that has not be- fore been brought to public atten- tion, but which is true, neverthe- less. This is about the only pro- vision of the bill that will meet with the approval of the people of Arizona. says the Arizona Demo- crat. That part of the bill which provides for the two congressman from Arizona can be found in sec ton 22 of the bill, and reads as fol- lows:
 "Sec. 22 That said constitu- tional convention shall, by ordi- nance, provide that in case of the ratification of said constitution by the people, and in case the presi- dent of the United States and con- gress approve the same, or in case the president approves the same and congress fails to act in it's next regular session. all as herein before provided, an election shall be held at the time named in the proclama- ton of the governor of Arizona, provided for in the preceding sec- ton, at which election of officers for full state government, including a governor, members of the legisla. ture, two representatives in con- gress to be elected at large from said state, and such other officers as such constitutional convention shall prescribe, shall be chosen by the people,"

Stopping the Paper

She came down the street three steps at time and sailed into the newspaper office like a whirlwind. She waited for no ceremony, but wildly asked:
 ''Is this the printin' office?"
 "Yes, madam"
 "I want to stop my paper"
 "All right, madam"
 "Stop it right away, too."
 "It's stopped" replied the editor, making a blue line through her husbands name on the subscrip- tion list.
 "Mebbe that will learn you some hoss sense and how to do the square thing next time, and not slight peo- pie just because they are poor. If some rich, stuck-up folks happen to have bald headed, knock kneed cross-eyed brat born to lem you're in an awful hurry to put it in the paper and make it out an angel; but when poor people have baby you can't say a word about it, even if is the prettiest child ever borned. That's what Pm stoppin' the paper fur. This ort to be lesson to every paper in Arizony," and she went out of the office as mad as a wet hen.-Ex.

As It Stands Now

According to latest advices, as the Beveridge statehood bill sta nds now, with the various alterations and amendments that have been made in committee, it does not ap- ply the English language qualifca- tions to county officers, but to state officers and members of the legisla- ture only. This is seriously ob- jected to many of our native peo- pie as an unjust discrimation, es. pecially in view of the contract em. bodied in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, by which the United States government pledged itself to admit the territory to statehood within a reasonable time, but it is nevertheless very great modi6ca- ton of the original clause which made this qualification to apply to county as we'll as state officers. But does it mean anything? Notwith. standing the frequent promises which have been made by senators to the president, to the effect that the statehood promise of the plat form should be carried out to the letter, there seems to be rather poorly concealed disposition on the part of the senate to dilly- daily over details in the matter of the bill, for the purpose of killing time until it shall be too late to do any thing at the present session. The friends of statehood all sincerely hope this may not be the case, but there certainly seems to be a good ground for such a suspicion.-Al- buquerque Journal.

MAIL ORDER FIRM'S
 PHILANTHROPY

One of the big mail order houses in Chicago has contributed one hundred thousand dollars to a Young Mems Christian Association building in that city, says the Tucson Post. No one will object to donation of that kind. The firm had the right to make it and de- serve credit therefor. The building will be good thing for some of the young men of Chicago and in a gen. eral way a good thing for Chicago. The fact remains that the firm which made the gift derives prac- tically all it's patronage from ter ritory outside of Chicago.
 The mail order business has de- veloped marvelously in the past ten or fifteen years. The man who founded the house referred to in this article sold out his interest in that firm a few months ago for $25, 5,OOO,- 000 He was succeeded by a cor portion which for pure business purposes, retains the old firm name. The stock of the corporation pays large dividends. The stores and buildings cover acres of ground. The concern issues catalogues almost as big as an unabridged dictionary and it sells everything from shoe peg to aeroplanes. The sales run away up into millions every year. This money which go into the coffers of this great corporation in cease less stream comes mainly from the farms and small villages and isolat- ed communities all over the United States. Arizona sends her full share of it, to the detriment of her own business interests. Even Tucson contributes quite literally to the prosperity of the big Chicago house, but nobody has heard of any re- ciprocal contributions. There are no donations for Y.M.C A. buildings in Arizona or in any other state which pays tribute to mail order greatness.
 Country merchants know that the big mail order houses are their strongest competitors Vast sections of country are drained of their sur plus cash because of the alluring catalogues from Chicago and many rural storekeepers find it increas- ingly harder to sell goods. Money spent with the country merchant makes for prosperity at home. The money sent to mail order houses helps to build up. Chicago at the ex- pense of Arizona and other states. Wouldn't it be better for Arizona people to spend their money, as far as possible, with Arizona firms?
 There is an opening for some good, hard thinking in connection with this donation for Y.M.C A building in Chicago.

ONE CENT A POUND
 PARCELS RATE

The unanswerable fact which Postmaster General Hitchcock is pleased to overlook when he com- plains that the government loses enormously on the carriage of sec- ond class mail is that the German postal service transports all sorts of parcels up to 100 pound trunk for one third of cent a pound, and that Canada has reduced it's rate on periodical mail to one-quarter of cent pound and shows neat surplus.
 He offers no remedy for the pres ent state of affairs but higher postal charges. He fails to take into ac- count the excessive payments made to the railroads or the circumstance that the express companies carry matter cheaper than the govern ment. They not only underbid the government in it's own business, but they have been influential enough to prevent it from esta blishing parcels post such as foreign coun- tries enjoy.
 On the rural free delivery service alone, Postmaster General Hitch cock admits, the government sus- tains loss of about $28, 100000 in an expenditure of $32, 100000 an nually. As John Brisben Walker points out, it carries only twenty five pounds per trip per wagon, when with parcels post system each of these wagons might be car rying from 500 to 700 pounds trip each way and so contributing to the profits of the government and the convenience of the rural dis tricts it undertakes to serve. With public facilities like those long in operation in Great Britain and on the continent, a branch of the pos tai service developed at enormous loss and yearly responsible for larger and larger deficits would be clearing millions.
 The rural service is only a small part relatively of the postal field in which the volume of business prof. ftable for the government would be increased if parcels were carried at the fate of one cent pound. The government is already equipped with more than 6O,OOO fully organ ized stations. In most of these the cost of handling parcels would be nothing additional except for the short wagon haul in the locality.
 How long must it remain true, as John Wanamaker said it was twelve years ago, when he was post master general, that there are -four insuperable obstacles to a parcels post system"-the four big express companies.-N. Y. World.
