How to Shorten the Time.

Tn order to assure the admission of Arizona at the next session of gress-which eXipres by limi- tation at noon on the 4th of next March-it will be necessary to use the utmost expedition here in completing the various stages to state making which fall to the people of the territory. We therefore make some suggestions this morning. which we think will be helpful.
 As was mlde clear in the pos sible schedule of dates which we printed last Friday, our constitu- ton may not reach congress but a scant week in which to ap- prove or disapprove the constitu- ton, and action might easily go over until the next session-Which will convene the first Monday in December of next year. Should tns delay occnr, Arlzona woLId not be state until the spring of 19l2-nearly two years from uCw. Hence it is plain for us
 0 do every thing practicable to
 horten the time that IS to be de- voted to our.part of the work.
 The bill will no doubt be ap- proved today by President Taft.
 The frst.thing that must be done after the approval of the bill is the apportionment of de. legates to the constitutional con- vention. This is to be done by the governor, the chief justice; and the secretary of the territory Governor Sloan viii be at homo within a few days; but mean while there is no reason why Chief Justice Kent and Sec Young should} not complete the aetu al work of making the apportion ments thatits formal completion may be accomplished the day Gov ernor Sloan reackes the capitol.
 There is nothing dificultis the task of making. the apportion- ment. There are to be delegates and the bill provides they shal be apportioned,I "ass nearly as may be, eqqitably among the several counties of the territory. ir accordance with the voting oo- pulation'' as s,shown by the vote cest' for delegate to congress at the last election.
 Next follows the proclamation of the governor in which the aforesaid apportionment of de- legates to the convention shall be fully pecifed and announced in which proclamation he will order an election of tke delegates aforesaid.
 The bill gives the governor thirty days in which to issue this proclamation, but there is no req son why it may not be prepared at the capitol this week, and issued on Saturday. the 18th, at. latest, asthe governor will un- doubtedly be here by that time.
 The election of delegates. can not be held sooner than sixty days from the day the bill be- came a law. Saturday. August 27, would complete the 6O-day period, and the election may be on that day.
 The,delegates must meet in convention on the fourth Mon- day afte r election. The fourth Monday ca this schedule would be September 19.
 Under the provisions of the bill, the constitional convention may remain is session sixty days but there is no reason un6er the sun why sixty days should be necessary. The delegates will not meet for a gabfest but for action. And if they are clear minded men they should be able to frame and agree upon a con- stitution within ten days. But

 MT President, say I have no pa tience or time to discuss such a pro- position. I do say that if you want to make this bill effective. if you want the people to love it and respect it, let this money, taken from the hard earn ilgs of the people, be deposited in the small solvent banks in their own com munities and not turn it over, sir. into the great channels leading to Wall street through the national banking system.
 1 have thought, sir. that I would support this bill. have had many letters from my state. To my consti- tuents alone am answerable. I have had many letters from the state of Texas, which lies adjoining my state. asking me to support 1t. But the peo- ple of my state do not know that this iniquitous, monstrous provision is in the bill. Sir, respectfully ask that the senate shall pause and wait long before it passes this bill without the pending amendment

.D'ORMOND SCORES KNICKERBOCKER DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALK.
 ING ABOUT WHEN HE AT
 HACKS THE STAGE.
"ls Perched So High on the Pinnacle of His Own conceit He Can't See
 Beauty of Lfe's Valley Below"

Dallas, Feb. 5.-The time honorel
 attack on the stage" is a never-fail. Ing means by which small-caliper preachers have for ages sought to emerge-if but for a passing moment from innocuous mediocrity. Rev. MT Knickerbocker, not content With his former sorry antics in the iimelight of publicity, has given us an encore He presumes to criticize a play, at the same time ayowing he has never witnessed it, and even de- scribes the most dramatic moments there.
 What wonderful acumenl What Imaginable audacityl The trouble with Rev Mir Knickerbocker is that he is perched so high on the pinnacle of his self-conceit that he is prevented by the clouds of his own egotism from seeing the beauty in life's valley be- low.
 His statement that "the majority of actresses are women of doubtful char acter,' even though palpably made for the sake of a little cheap notoriety. 1 betrays cowardice all the more des- picable inasmuch that the biting cal umny was leveled at class of women the very itinerancy of whose profess sion renders them incapable of re- tallation
 Would this snug theologist dare to asperse with so general and menda- cious a statement the characters Of anyl local body of women, whose fa- thers, husbands and brothers are near at hand to call him to account? No. indeed. With an eye single to h. personal safety, he takes advantage of his clerical calling to launch his pois- on shafts. The allreaching sweep of his accusation betrays the grossest disregard for the charity of common ! humanity and total disregard for His | commandment Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour The lives of thousands of noble, self sacrificing wives and mothers who adorn the stage are in themselves a sufficient refutation
 The women of the stage are proud of the friendship of such eminent elericals as. the late Bishop Henry Potter. sDr. Parkhurst. Gibbons Ire land, Hougl4ton and Chambers These men hava4,reached against the abuses of the Wage, but by no stretch of the imagnl tion couh I conceive them cap&6M of so vile a denunciation.

 HOh, the ultimate consumer always

| endeavor under adverse conditions. The deprivations, the abnegations of | all the little amenities of domesticity i the actress so sadly misses. They know the false perspective and exag- gerated outline their every act as. sumes through the magnifying lens of ! publicity. The life of the actress is passed beneath the critical scrutiny Of a strangers world, where benign char fly for every little pccadilo is re- served for home consumption.
 Vice exists truly but in no greater proportion than obtains in any other | sphere of life in which women play an important part, and speaking of che profession generally the Rev. Mir. Kn ickerbocker is doubtless unaware of the fact that though the members of the theatrical profession q am speaking of the mem outnumber the ministers ten to one, our prison rec oris will show three ministers con Victed of crime to one actor.
 Look t up, doctor. No class or pro fession has monopoly of righteous ness, and the leaven of morality fs about equally distributed among frail humanity, notwithstanding the eholier than thou" mantle assumed by mir,2s- terhsl peregrines.
 In his exaggerated ego pr. KnicbI booker loses all sense of proportion. Like the minister On the Bowerv. wno being Jostled by two tipsy sailors. cried out, Tt was burning shame that the whole American navy was debauched."
 wonder if he Rev. MT. Knicker- booker has even heard of the Actors, Church alliance, or the Professional Women's league, an organization of actresses devoted to charity? Tn A word. what does he know of actresses VI mean the maiority-or their lives. that he should thus pollute the foua- tain of truth by such calumny?
 As to the mission Of the tceress. If she has brought light and life into sunless lives, smcothed the wrinkles from the brow of care. brought iov to. the joyless, softened by her genius hearts grown sallous by contact with sordid world, or poured the oil of laughter on the troubled sea of life.
 Then is her mission not wholly un-A fulfilled, nor vii the final judgment De less partial on account of her pro- fesslon, when she and her traducers stand trembling in the corridors Of God. AGNES FULLER D'ORMOND.

Water Company in the attempt TO establish interstate connect on
for the sale OF New Jersey water out of the State, is insolvent. me
company has been bankrupted by the cost Of the unsuecessful hght
with the State to override its authority, trample upon its policy

The State and its people. The Hudson County Water Company is
a separate corporations, and is alone responsible for its debts.
Creditors cannot look to the East Jersey Water Company or to the
New Jersey Securities Company, which latter represents the full
dimensions of the water snake. The people who purchased the
stock of the Hudson County Water Company and those who bought
its bonds and the contractors who did the work took their chances
of repayment. They were induced to believe that the company was
on the ground floor of a good thing; that the power of the parent
company would prevail at Trenton and the companys purpose he
accomplished. They were bitterly disappointed. To protect the
concern from their suits, President Beall resorts to the courts for
receivers. 1t was to avert this financial collapse that the Hon.
Everett Colby, as attorney for the company, pleaded at Trenton
thaI the State should compromise and imperil its conservation
policy. The relations of the company and its creditors were en-
fered into voluntarily, without the knowledge of the State and
should enrich the company at the States expense, in order that
fhe company could make good its private obligations, was

acts of the company in defiance of the authority of the State. If

TT I looks As II The ground were slipping away from under Mr.. Taft's
railroad bill. which has already been SO much changed us to be
unrecOgnizable. 1t may he affirmed that Il more vulnerable bill
was never drafted for Congress. and the bill received the Presidents
entire approval when ii WAS introduced. He strongly recommended
il in n special message. and he would have signed il just us it was,
with all its sims upon ii. The bill has literally been shot full of
holes. Supported by the AhGrich aud Cannon Republicans in Senate
and 1lousp, ii has been attacked and riddHed by the progressive Re
pnblcans ana Democrats. In The House Two vitality important
amendments have been added to the bill. In the Senate Aldrich has
held The majority we'll in band. but there are signs of weakening.
Six Western Republican Senators are wavering in their support of
the unamendrd bill. They are evidently hearing from home. Presi-
dent Taft is using in support of the railroad bill all the persuasion
and pressure he failed to employ in behalf of a downward revision in
the tariff last summer, but it is evident that his influence upon
Congress is neutralzed by the stronger influence of the public senh-
ment that is brought to bear upon the senator's and representatives
from their States and districts. If the railroad bill passes it will be
\ wholly different bill from that which was introduced on behalf
Of the president-as different as black from white. As the changes
and amendments in the bill are entirely unacceptable to the rail
~aads and the telegraph and telephone companies. the probability
lis that no bill will be passed. And, certainly, better no bill than the
unamended. administration BILL. ln4HI1esag a4 ~ rSx

. VALUATION OF ALL RAILROAD PROPERTY.

m PHYSICAL valuation of the railroad properties in the United
n States. as provided for in an amendment to the railroad
bill in Congress, would be q work of enormous magnitude
After the State Reyaluation Commission last year began its WORK
the commission found that II would take at least IL year 10 com
pete the task Railroad property in New Jersey represents Il small
fraction of the value of the railroad property in the United States
The total railway capital in 1907 was over sixteen billion dollars
In twenH wears the railroad capital has more than doubled. Is
this <tal highly inflated? Would a physical valuation of rail
road properties show thai the people are paving dividends on hun
drcdS of millions of fictitious values? The purpose OF Che amend
nFht is TO have that question answered. But there is really Il doubt
fhether the capitalization of the railroads really equals the prop
cftv value. Ne may take the case of The roads in New Jersey.
which altogether have a combined capitalization of Sl16,5o61{ 6
\ physical valuation of the property Of these roads 10 ascertain
tlpir real value would certainly put the figure much higher. Im-
1portant railroad terminals are extremely valuable, and this special
value is not reflected in the capitalization. For example. The par
value of The .tocks and bonds of the united railroad companies cn-
lpaced in tn" Pennsylvania railroad system does not fully repre-
sent the valGc Of the terminal property AT Jersey City belonging
In these companies.

A SWINDLH.

A druggist clerk in Waltham.
Mass, is said to have discovered a
wonderful salt, one teaspoonful OF
which, when concealed inside ones
system, enables a man TO take a
skinful of strong laughing waters
without showing it SO much as by
the dilatation of a pupil.
Immediately upon receipt of this
news, we dispatched a letter to the
clerk in question, describing our
symptoms and asking for a sample
OF the salt, enclosing what we
thought was about right. We re-
ceived the following reply:
Dear Sir:-In your case common
table salt will do nicely. Take q
mouthful of it and hold it on the
tongue until saturated. Then swal-
low it. Lay a quart bottle of rye on
the table. Take off your belt and
place it on the bottle. Now, al
though you have a large quantity of
the old stuff under your belt, you
should hardly feel it at all. Thank.

New Jersey accomplished at least one
good thing. when they met last eve

highways Of the State for the beheh1

thing that Jersey needs. and not only
on principal roads, but on all roads
Then another thing that ought to be
