 Ot what avail will this constitution be under the territorial form of gov ernment? It is asserted by the gov ernor, and we belle him implicitly, that the president will disapprove this constitution. The presidents disapproval puts an end to all pend ing statehood legislation.

Editorial Opinions.

Anyway Governor Sloan has given
 about by his report from Washington.
 The Gazette, which has peculiar
 politics all its own, thinks the Cover
 ror mistaken and that President Taft
 will approve the constitution as
 framed. An interview with a score
 of men in Santa Cruz county, pub
 lished in the Oasis, gives a divided sentiment, the reponderance of them believed the statehood proposi- tion is lost. The Tucson Star says the convention made mistake when it departed from the doctrines of the immortal Jefferson; the Citizen thinks sta tehood lost, as does the Review at
 Bisbee and the Silver Belt at Globe. The Yuma papers don't seem to care whether Arizona becomes a state or not, and with the exception of the Sentinel insist that Arizona come in under the constitution or not at all. It would not be difficult to ascertain by sending a committee to Washinton, just what may be expected, and upon the report made the people would know how to vote.-Mesa Free Press.
 Tue one notable feature of the "discussion" of the statehood question by the people responsible for the pending constitution is their refusal to discuss or consider the one question of practical importance. The constitution may be the greatest | document ever written. It may be, | as the proponents of the constitution strenuously insist, that the people | are so careless of their own interests | that they will elect incompetent men to the legislature and will at the same time be so careful of their in- terests that they will judiciously legislate for themselves through the initiative. It may be that democrats of such crooked character will be elected to office-Arizona is not likely to elect men of any other party-that the recall is imperatively necessary 10 protect the people from their

The Indian Chief Tammany.

The aborigines, whatever may be
said against them, enjoyed natural
beauty, and their habitations we're
often made in this delightful re-
gion, their councils being attended
by Chief Tamenend, or Tammany,
Delaware, whose wisdom and vir-
tues were such as to raise him to
the place Of patron saint of Amer
lea. The Tammany society of New
York is named for him. When this
chief became old and feeble his
tribe abandoned him in a hut at
New Britain, Pa, and there he tried
to kill himself bv stabbing; but,
failing in that, he flung burning
leaves over himself and so persisted.
He was buried where he died

IN FAVOR OF TAFT'S PLANS
British Paper Comments on Revival of
Arbitration Treaty Negotiations.

London, Jan. 9.-In an editorial re-
vival of the arbitration treaty negotia-
tons, the Times says:
IF and when President Taft's sug-
gestion takes practical shape, it will
be certain to meet with a favorable re-
ception here Nothing has occurred
to make Great Britain recede from the
position taken up in 1897. On the con-
trary our relations with the United
States have become more cordial and
intimate and our devotion to the cause
of peace stronger Therefore, if Presi-
dent Taft is able to overcome the SEN
ate's objections, he may rely upon the
favorable reception here of any con-
crete proposals"
The Standard thinks that unless
President Taft has reasonable hope
Of the senate's approval it would be
advisable to delay the project.

CLASH In HOUSE is LIKELY
Democrats in Congress Are Not in
Accord

Washington, Jan. 9-The conflict
between the radicals and conserya-
tives among the Democrats of the
next house over the revision of the
tariff is already under way and threat
ems to be a disturbing factor in the
harmony banquet of the Democratic
leaders to be held in Baltimore Jan
II.
These differences among Democrats
in congress over the tariff have been
brought to an acute issue by the &C
ton of the element that will be prom
inent in the next house of tentatively
raising the majority of the ways and
means committee Not only has a
slate been prepared ignoring all Dem
ocrats opposed to the doctrine of free
raw materials, but the radicals have
let it be known they are going to
punish two Of the present members
of the ommittee-Messrs Pou and
Brantley-because they voted for a
duty on lumber In the Payne-Aldrich
bill
The result is there is a revolt on
among Democrats in the house against
the action of the dominant faction,
which is accused of pursuing steam
roller methods. The Democrats who
are opposed to the doctrine of free
raw materials are pointing to the fact
that they number more than one-third
of the membership of the party in
the house and that their school of
thought with reference to the tariff is
in decided majority among the Dem
ocrats in the senate

konqo Free State.

The Kongo Free State was prac-
tically unknown to white men prior
to 1876, when it was explored by
the Belgian authorities. 1t was rec
ognized by the European powers as
"a state in 1885. The country com
prises a strip Of territory on the
right bank of the river Kongo, as
well as some 900 square miles,
an area larger than that of the
republic of Mexico. 1t has a pop
ulation Of only a few thousand
whites and about 100000 of
blacks. Its climate in many places
is bad for Europeans, though it
may be possible, with scientific SAN
itation, to make IA safe abode for
whites.-New York American.

The rules committee took the
ground that desirable as it might be
to put members on record while in
the discharge of their duties as mem
bers of committees the plan advocated
was impracticable on several grounds.
First-If members knew that their
votes were to be recorded many would
find an excuse for being absent from
committee meetings and thus the prog
ress of legislation would be retarded.
Second Generally each representa-
tive is member of several commit
tees. These committees frequently
meet at the same time. He could not
be in two places at once. It would be
unfair to him that he should be record
ed as absent when a final vote on a
bill was taken and thus render him
liable to the charge of having lodged
a vote, when, as a matter of fact, it
was a physical impossibility to be
present.
Third-The present method of pro-
cedure is ample for the purpose of
putting members on record on all
measures before the house.
Fourth-The new plan would cum
Der the records and add thousands of
dollars to the legislative printing bill.
!. !. !.
Legislation is likely to find earnest
advocates in both branches looking to
the election of United States senators
by popular vote. This, of course, to
be thoroughly effective, requires an
amendment to the federal Constitu-
ton; but the legislature will be asked
to avoid the delay incident to this by
adopting the Oregon plan of primary
voting 1t is not at all certain that
either the house or the senate will go
on record as opposing this. The indi-
cations are that it will take a hard
fight to defeat the proposition. Then
we have already bill for statewide
primary which many think may pass.

Still the assignments, changing en-

whole with less criticism than there
was reason to anticipate. Naturally
those who had everything to say in

back and sit down are little shocked
at the vigor with which the lieutenant
