A SOUTHERN congressman was
IA walking toward Pennsylvania ave-
nue. from the capitol in Washington.
He noticed a worn and shabby man
cycling him closely. When the con-
gresham reached the shabby one the
latter hailed him.
You are a college man, sir" he
said. 81 can see that. May l speak
to you a moment?"
The congressman obligingly slowed
up his pace.
81 am college man, too," said the
stranger. But I am down on my
luck. 1 am offered a position, but
haven't got good enough clothes to
accept it. 1 thought possibly you
could help me temporarily. 1 will pay
you back as soon as I get on my
feet"

A system of generosity to old friends lead to MT. Storms downfall.

Must Protect Themselves

The statement is often made that workingmen should never strike when the injury to be avoided or the gain to be secured is less tha n the cost of the strike, but if men were not willing at least occasion ally to make great sacrifices to pre- vent even small losses unreasona- ble employers would take advant- age of their unwillingness to strike
 We hear it stated frequently that by 8 strike workingmen lose more in month than they may hope to gain in years. One might just as we'll impugn the common sense of the farmers of Lexington because the cost of a war with Great Brit ain was a hundredfold greater than the whole amount of taxation with out representation.

PRIVILEGES STATEHOOD
 WILL BRING TO US

Now that we have statehood, the question is being asked: "what will it do for Arizona and it's people?" First of all it will bring Arizona in- to the United States as one of the sovereign states with the liberal privileges that the states enjoy. The direct federal control will be at an end and Arizona citizens will be the masters of themselves.
 Instead of being governed by un- friendly or uninterested outsiders Arizona will be absolutely governed by her own people, subject to the same restriction as the rest of the states.
 It will be stepping from boyhood to manhood when the territory be- comes state and the new state will have many problems to face that will require sane reason and com mon sense into which, for the best of all. partisanship can not be al- lowed to enter.
 A constitution is to be adopted The future welfare of the new state will depend largely on this docu- ment and if it is drafted in the in- terests of all, the people and the in- dustries, Arizona will forge ahead faster than any state since the Thirteen Colonies adopted the na- tional constitution.
 Under state government there will be many offices to be filled by the vote of the citizens. Arizona, the state will elect her own gover- nor two congressman will be chosen by the people and two senators will be selected by the state legislature. The judges will be elected instead of appointed, and other appolntlve offices will be made elective.
 For all the state offices there are several members in each party ready to come out before the people and make a fight for them. In launching the new state it is just as important to get it started with a competent force of officials as it is to have back of it a liberal and worthy constitution and it now looks as though the people are to have large number of the terri tory's prominent citizens from whom to select these officials.

 Plans are said to call for the ex- penditure of about a million dol lars.
