Spirit of the Territorial Press
 And Others
Statehood and Balance of Power
And Others

The trouble with the republi- can politicians seems to be that they have no thought for the country's good-all they think of is personal and party success. Even their newspapers are gan grened with this idea. Apropos this is what the Chicago Record Herald says about statehood:
 "If the statehood bill is to be advanced and pushed because the republican platform indorsed it and it is definitely part of the administrators program well, and good. Those who gravely doubt the propriety of the mea- sure or the fitness of the territor- ies to enter sisterhood of "sover- eign" commonwealths can at least respect the motives and the viewpoint of the other side. To make statehood for two territor ies, with all it implies in the way of senatorships, changes in the balance of power, etc, afootball of facrional politics is to display cynicism and an Indifference to national interest and national well being that cannot fail to shock decent citizenship.
 "The bargaining regulars need a sharp hint from the admins tration to the effect that their strategy IS out of date"
 In other words, the Re or . Herald does not want Arizuna and New Mexico admitted be- cause it may affect the balance of power in the United States senate.
 The question of human liberty does not enter into this question.
 It is the same old insane cry for lust and power.
 The view taken by the Record Herald is unworthy of a great Republican party.

Cost of a Strike

The cost of the recent Philadel- phia strike to those concerned is "ow estimated at $14.O12,OOr which is all material loss b,. sides the lives sacrificed ant the cripples added to the number of unfortunates.
 This waste is economic pro. fligacy, and vies for it's ruinous effect wi t h war, pestilence, thoughts, earthquakes, flood, fire and famine. And what was it all about? Only the matter of days wage that Could have been adjusted in fifteen minutes if the company and workers had got together and exercised ordi nary horse sense, and realized that capital and labor are part ners.
 The attitude of the street car company wa S an irritating cause, and undoubtedly prolong- ed the trouble. On the other hand, some of the hotheads among the strikers showed lack of judgement and open disregaro for law and rights of property, which action weakened theil cause and lost tke employees much sympathy from the pubic that was directly injured.
 Arbitration should maintain the equation between the rights of employees and the rights ot and neither sid, should have any right to say i've have nothing to arbitrate." As long as there is a difference ot opinion, there is a chance that the other fellow may be right Exchange.
Holbrook argus., 1910-06-07

A local newspaper must be something like the Apostle had in mind when he said: "Be all things to all men, he reporter may not be per sonally a champion of card parties, baseball, dances or other amusements, yet they must be recorded; neither is he necessarily a church mem Der because he mentions the good work of revivals, favors all reforms, advocates moral ity and the prohibition of the liquor traffic, but prints all things of all kinds of news. Personal quarrels, scandals, or ordinary drunks are not news, and ought not, as a rule, be scattered broadcast as news.

Twenty Per Cent Increase
 In the Santa Fe's Business

Comparative statements just compiled by the Santa Fe, indi cate that since July 1 of last year business over the entire sys- tenn has increased just 20 per cent over the similer period of the previous year.
 During that space of time this year 16,O9S,779 thousand ton miles were reco "ded, while the previous year the total for the same period was 13,41S,O9S. The term "thOuSand ton miles" indicates thousand tons moved one mile, therefore the volume of traffic over the system for that period is represented in the movement of 16,O9S. .779,OOO tons one mile.
 The Los Angeles division is ac- credited with the increase of 22 per cent during one month re gently. The total ton miles was 59,692, ,SO3, or 59,692;9O3 tons moving one mile representing the volume of traffic. For the cores bonding month of the previous year the ton miles were 4S,669,- 9SS.
 The increase is general over the entire system, and while on the Los Angeles lewiston the vol ume of fruit is less than last year, the eincrease in other freight has been sufficient to so far show general increase.
 During the same month the engine miles, or the number ot miles recorded by the locomo- tives over the division was 76,OOO.
