INDICATES
 CLOSE SCRUTINY.

A dispatch from Washington yes terday tells of visit of Delegate Andrews, of New Mexico, to the White House where there was some discussion between the delegate and President Taft about the constitu- tioation of our neighbor territory, sufficient to indicate that the consti tuition is to be closely scrutinized V the president before his approval @ given.
 President Taft stated that if the constitution of New Mexico was as satisfactory as he heard it was he would promptly approve and send favorable message to congress. This expression amounts to a dec. laration, that the constitution will be closely scrutinized by the presi dent.
 It of course follows that the con, stitution of Arizona will also be subjected to a close scrutiny of the president whose approval must be had before statehood can be ob- tained under the present enabling act That President Taft will re fuse to approve the Arizona consti- tuition because of the presence of the recall, reaching the courts, in that document, to our mind is a foregone conclusion if he be governed by lis opinion as to what would be The effect on the judiciary of the new state by placing it under the influence of public clamor or ex- cited public opinion.
 "If the constitution of New Mex ico is as satisfactory as I hear it is,'' said the president, q will promptly approve it." Whether to the mind of the president the New Mexico constitution will prove sat isfactory remains to be seen and whether the Arizona constitution will also be satisfactory to the president remains to be seen. We predict that the latter will be turned down either by the people or by the president, and that such a result will cost the democratic party dearly in this ter ritory.

An incident of the late constitu- tional convention which demonstrated more clearly that anything else the state of mind under which some of the d legates were laboring, was the from Texas, by Delegate Parso-s, of Douglas, who early in the session was entered in the race with Hunt and Winsor as to who should be the most rampant radical of the convention. It is needless to say that Parsons surpassed all other competitors. The convention was noted for it's stu lied attempts to belittle prominent demo- crats of Arizoua not members of that body. The fact was advertised that their advice was not wanted but it remained for the pin hea4ed egotist of Douglas to administer ap to one of the ab est statesmen in the nation, democrat from Texas and life long friend of Arizona. man who. more than anyone el-~ n the passage of the Ari~ .ood bill at the last ses utter

The insult offered Senator Bailey was in keep ing with those offered Hon. Mark Smith and Governor Sloan by man. bers of this convention. A citizen of Arizona or a Senator of the United States who had the temerity to entertain ideas contrary to that aggregation was immediately classed as an undesirable citizen and fit to be read out of the party. The attack upon senator Bailey was called forth by reason of his good sound advice given to the convention by request. That advice was to eliminate all debatable propositions from the con- stitution in order 70 insure statehood. The incident is regrettable to say the least The only hope i' that the delegate from Douglas is so small,

 comb has passe l, and the time for action-intelligent, manly, thou ht- ful action--on the part of the people of Arizona upon this statehood ques- tion has arrived. It is absurd and indecent to try and bully Governor Sloan and place the responsibility for the shortcomings of the consti- tutional convention upon the executive. That is the demagogue's plea; that is the weapon used by men and newspapers who lead the lamen- ted convention ia it's brazen disre- gard of a public duty.-Democrat.
 We note that w. B. Kelly, formerly of the Review at Bisbee and leader of the unterrified democracy in the Mule mountains, has become the manager of the Clifton Copper Era and announces that that heretofore Republican paper will hereafter be independent" That may be all right, but we predict that the first time Greenlee county Republican attempts to "put one over" there will be something doing at independ- ent headquarters. MT. Kelly is an able newspaperman, equal to any in the territory, and has best weshes of The PRosPECToR and a host of friends in ''dear old Cochise. "- Tombstone Protector.
 It is the duty of every Arizona elector desiring to see Arizona be- come state, to get busy and use his best endeayors to get the constitution ratified by an overwhelming majority, so that the Icongress and president may not be able to base an excuse for their dlsapproval of the Constitu- tion on the fact that it had already been disapproved by very consider able portion of the people of Arizona. There is hardly a doubt as to the in clination of the president and the present majority in the house and senate, to keep Arizona out of the Union until after 1912, if they can find the shadow of an excuse to justify them in such action.-Florence Blade.
 After the statehood bill was adopt ed many republicans claimed it as a victory of the republican party. This was indignantly denied by the dem ocrats, especially the Arizona dem ocrats, who proved, to their own satis- faction, that if it had not been for senator Bailey, the bill would never have got through the senate and never would have become a law. In the latter days of the constitutional convention in Arizona, when the fight was strong on the adoption of the in- itiative, the referendum and the re- call, the Graham county members Messcrs. Webb and Cobb, telegra phed to Senator Bailey, asking his advice about putting these articles in the constitution. He answered them, urging the convention to adopt con- stitution without any 'debatable pro- visions " so that Arizona would be ad- mitted immediately telling them that after admission they could change the constitution to suit themselves. The telegram was read in the convention and during it's whole session no per son received the abuse from democrats that Senator Bailey did for giving this advice. He was denounced as the tool of corporations and denoun- ced to the limit of a democratic ton que and neither Webb nor Cobb ac- cepted his advice, both voting to put ''debatable provisions" into the Arizona constitution. - Lordsburg Liberal.

If the democrats question the in- formation Governor Sloan brings to them, appoint a committee and pro- ceed to Washington. The doors of information are wide open, and the governors official veracity is at stake. Now test it, if his statements are questioned. The president and congress are in Washington now and will be for months, and the only way to get proof is to GET IT.-Phoenix Democrat.
 In the light of Governor Sloan's in terview, the question for Arizonans to determine would seem to be: "Shall we ratify this constitution and lose statehood or write another and enter the union?" The advantage of the latter course is that it gives us an opportunity, once the territory becomes a state, to supplement our constitution, amend it or change it in any way that the majority of our people prefer, so long as we do not conflict with the terms of the enab- ling act or the Federal constitution It is simply a matter of choice.
