ARIZONA 40 NEW MEXICO.

In exactly the form recommended
hy The democratic members OF Tie
committee ON territories. The JOINT rrS"-
luton. admitting Arizona and New
Mexico to immediate Statehood, hut
poslponing the approval Of the consil-
tutions until the Ci'iZcns Of the states
to-bc have voted on some proposed
amendments, was passed by the House
Yesterday. The sentiment in favor al
the adoption Of the committees rrSo''l-
ton vas so overwhelming that the OPP
poncuts Of the measure did not demand
a roll call on the final vote. Republi-
can leaders demanded that Arizona
eliminate the clause providing for the
recall OF Judges. and that the Ne"
Mexico constitution receive the lmme-
liatc approval Of The House, but with
yut success. The ties: vote OF the day
vas taken on Il proposition made by
Representative Mann, OF lllIGols, the
republican leader. to recommlt the
measure, with Instructions 10 make
these changes. This motion was de-
.eated by a vote Of 2l4 to 81. Thirty
.wo republicans voted with the demo
rats against the Mann proposition.
The resolution, n passed, requires
lrlZ0Ea to vote on an amendment
Eliminating the paragraph providing
Tor the recall Of the judiciary; IT pro
,ides that New Mexico shall vote on an
amendment designed 10 make the con
iitution Of the state more easily
amended. The approval OF these con-
ritmtonS by Congress, according to
he terms OF the resolution, does not
cpend or the result OF the vote IN
either Arizona or New Mexico. 1t Is
up to the people; they can decide as
hey please. and Congress will put It's
D. X. on the verdict.
The Joint resolution is now ready for
he Senate.

of unexpected and noteworthy plain
speaking hy Sir Wilfril Laurier, the
ptemier Of Canada. Sir Wilfrid, ad-
dressing an audience composed Of many
Of the great men Of England, hand
lei the annexation question without
gloves. He began hv expressing
amazenent that during his three days
s,ay in England he has heard so many
people OF standing yoicing doubts con
corning the designs Of the United
States regarding Canada. He scoffcd
at the idea OF the possibility Of anneya
ton being seriously considered on either
side oi the border
He expressed III many terms his ad-
mlration for the people Of the United
States. but declared that much as he
loved the American people, he loved
Great Britain better. Canada in sharing
the continent with The United States.

States and the United Kingdom. and
lie exclaimed dramatically:
Il thank God that the relations be-
tween the two peoples never we're 50
good as they are today.
The Premier aroused enthusiasm
when he said that Canada and the
United States proposed to continue to
show TO the world two nations with the
longest boundary, extending from ocean

respect, without fortress. soldier or
a gun on either side OF that boundary.

great caravans bringing salt to sell at

Recently the terrific heat and

the caravan march of 800 miles over the

The disorder, the indignity and IT.
regularity, the scattered extravaganza,
squabblfng, and mud-sIinging, and
general uncertainty-al these aspects
of our government which make it IN
satisfactory to contemplate-are signs
that it is doing well, writes Max East
man in the July Atlantic. Democracy
does not aim to produce a government
as complete and regular and satisfy
ing to the cultivated mind as possible;
it aims to produce q governm ent
somewhat loose and dirty, in which
the citizens are great as individuals.
Remember that a republican govern
ment is a continuous education, and
you will not expect to find in it the
virtues of a graduation ceremony. You
will expect to find the children kick
ing out upon all sides Overturning
things the moment they begin to run
smooth, forever putting ur irrelevant
questions, and in general making it
appear that nothing is being accom-
plished If there is anything in this
world that looks like a complete fall
ure, It is a successful kindergarten.
And much the same thing IS true Of a
successful experiment in self-govern-
ment The success is inside of indi-
viduals It is happiness. and expert
mental knowledge, and moral indie
pendence, and humility.

to kill the reciprocity bill by endeav-
oring to tack amendments to it that
the house win not agree to and which
will not be acceptable to Canada. But
the kind of reciprocity he favored
when he was governor of Iowa is the
kind of reciprocity that is provided
for in the measure which President
Taft is urging so strongly. This fact
was called to the attention OF Senator
Cummfns in the senate not long ago,
but he dismissed it with a wave of the
hand by saying that conditions had
changed since he was favoring that
kind of reciprocity while he was
Iowa's chief executive.
The fact of the matter Is that Sen
ator Cummins and other Republican
insurgents are opposed to the Canadian
reciprocity measure for a no better
reason than that they want to black
en- one of President Taft's eyes. No
wonder they get wrathy when the
people cheer President Taft's exposi-
ton of this important measure. Pres
ident Taft's successes mean that much
more of blight to the political aspir-
ations of Senator Cummins and his
friends And personal political as
pirations are and always have been at
the bottom of the shindigs that the
Republican insurgents have so de-
lighted in.

| The unofficial function Of the treas
ury department as a training school
for business life outside has been
demonstrated with striking force with
| in the last two or three months No
| less than five of the most useful en-
| plOyees of the treasury have been
graduated into business this spring,
and no doubt the process will continue
as long as the department is able to
attract ambitious young men and turn
them out equipped to earn large sal
aries with private concerns.
The recent selection Of Charles P.
Montgomery, chief of the customs, to
take charge Of the customs affairs of
the American Sugar Refining company,
| is a case in point. Mr.. Montgomery IS
an older man than others to be men
toned and had been longer in the SER
vice, but his prize in the business world
appears to be none the less substantial.
Only few weeks ago George K.
| Lette a clerk in the office of Assistant
Secretary A. Plat Andrew, was made
private secretary by Elbert H. Gary,
chairman of the executive committee of
the United States Steel corporation. A
week or two ago Lawrence o. Murray.

Assistant secretaries Of the treasury
