And Others

The definite announcement has been made that ArIzOna Is soon to become a state and that her interests and citizens are to stand on equal footing with those of any other state in the Union. This announcement should be followed promptly by the delayed information concern ing every mineral district, every agricultural valley and every pastural section. This is a most opportune time for the commer- cial organizations to exert effort in this work. Printing presses should be kept busy for a while turning out descriptive circulars about the unexelled advantages offered by Arizona to home build CTS and investors. Every chamber ofcommerce and board of trade in Arizona can do much to assist in bringing the maximum a. mount of benefits from the pas sage of the statehood bill and they should promptly undertake to do this. The sending of litera- ture about Arizona to all points of the United States Is the i'm portant thing to be done now, when 1t will receive more careful attention than ever before.- Bisbee Miner.

1t1tfITH THE ADMIS
 11 sion of the two new

W sion on of a the the two ~DHtS new
 states to the Union, 1t is thought that it will be a long time before the question of statehood will again come up. There are other territor- ies, like Alaska and Hawai-, not to mention the District of Columbia, and there are other distant possessions such as Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippines, which have pro- visional governments and where American citizenship is in a state of formation. The lsthmian Zone, ten miles in in breadth, but with a zone of influence much wider, is a national possession and 1t is not improbable that owing to the civilizing influence incl dent to Canal work, 1t may at no remote day claim adnis- sion to statehood. It is pos sible that the Flag of the Un- ion may in time hold more than forty-eight stars, but that time will certainly be re- mote.

Gratitude.


 This talk of gratitude for the passage of the statehood bill is all very well up to Ger tain point. But giving the Republi- can party the bulk of the credit for stateshood is tommy rot, and everyone who has kept in touch with the progress of state hood legislation for the past ten years knows 1t. The same ere dit is due the republican party as you would accord to a man who for many years withheld from you some highly prized ar ticle which was justly yours, and when he could no longer withhold it, gave it to you, loudly protesting his honesty and virtue. Let every man and every party be given the just measure of credit due. Let us forgive and forget, if possible, the things that they have tried to do to us; and accept with dignity the thing which belongs to us.-Tempe News.
