As Expected.

The newspaper organ of the Hon. George Washington Peter Hunt-the paper edited by the constitutional convention presidents secretary-ap- pears to find great cause for glee and satisfaction in the dissatisfaction of Phoenix with the census returns.
 We are not surprised to find that the present boss of the demo-sOcial- istic combination is willing to have his newspaper give Phoenix lick. Neither he nor his associates in run ming the machine of the late constitu- tional convention exhibited any friend ship for the city of Phoenix or the Salt River valley.
 And when did the Hon. George Washington Peter Hunt show any friendship for this community in his legislative career? Who does not re- member his opposition to the legisla- ton of years ago-legislation designed to boost the construction of the reser- voir?

"The Peoples Friend"

An inquiry has been made of The Republican as to whether the Phoenix Gazette supported the joint statehood scheme in the last campaign against that proposition.
 We have to answer that the Gazette did not support joint statehood-after it took a stand on the question. IL finally came out against joint state hood.
 But before this course was taken. the influence" of the Gazette was offered for sale. for a cash considera- ton. to the joint statehood people.
 The offer was not accepted. because the managers of the joint statehood campaign and the Gazette could not get together on the question of price.
 After the deal fell through. the Ga- zette opposed joint statehood.
 But. of course, the Gazette is ''al- ways for the people"
 s Provided that there was either graft or popularity in the move. We have not the slightest doubt that the Ga zette would advocate any proposition. no matter how crooked.

surgent statesman aforesaid, had con- fidentiaIy imparted the information that there was no show for this con- stitution. The recipient of the letter took a few friends into his confidence This letter" said he, in substance, ifs not for publication. as you can see Now, all of us want statehood A public statement by my friend would greatly help statehood, for it would lead many people to vote this constitution down. l wonder if we could get him to make d statement for the public?" The upshot of the conference was a telegram addressed to the aforesaid insurgent statesman, asking him to wire. for public in formation, what would be the fate of statehood with this constitution
 Behold the result A telegram came back. announcing the adherence of the same statesman to the principles" set forth in the Arizona constitution, and stating his belief that it would be approved by the president and congress,
 one thing privately. and the directly opposite thing publicly. you see And still. a lot of unsophisticated people think that the lot of a politician is a happy one.

The Truth of the Matter.

The journalistic yappers who con- tinually yelp. ITO defeat the constitu- ton would be to defeat statehood!" evidently have an exceedingly poor opinion of the general average of in telligence in Arizona.
 It does not appear probable that the constitution will be defeated, but even if it should be. statehood would not be defeated
 On the contrary, the prospects for statehood would be vastly improved.
 The delegates to the late constitu- tional convention would be compelled by existing law to reassemble and frame another constitution.
 Undoubtedly. the new" constitu- ton would be the "old" constitution, with the clauses found objectionable at Washington eliminated or modi- fled.
 The intelligent procedure for the convention, in the event of the defeat of the pending constitution, would be to send a delegation of its members 10 Washington for a conference with the president and with democratic and republican leaders. the convention ad journing until the return of this dele gation.
 Upon receiving a report from the delegation as to the specific objec- tions of Washington, the convention would then proceed to frame "a con- stitution," but would have little work to do. The constitution framed by the first convention would. probably. have to be remodeled in only a few particulars The finest constitution ever written" would still serve as the product of the new convention.
 The real danger to statehOod-and it is such a grave danger that it amounts to a practical certainty of defeat-is in the adoption of the con- stitution now. pending.
 We should then have to chance everything on Washington's approval of this constitution. There would be no opportunity for changes or the correction of mistakes.
 It would be absolutely impossible to put statehood in any danger whatso- ever by the defeat of the pending con stitution.
 It is true that George Washington Peter Hunt, dear friend of the peo- pie" as he claims to be. has boasted in his arrogance that if called back to help frame another constitution he would, notwithstanding the verdict of the people, refuse to change a line" But that is a silly bluff And at any rate there would be a majority of in- telligent delegates willing to modify the constitution in order to get state hood-if the people should vote for another effort at making an accept able constitution.
 To howl that "the defeat of this constitution would defeat statehOodS is to make a statement which insults Arizona intelligence.

the voices of ghost babies calling to her.
 She knows. though she may never acknowledge it. that she has missed the real sweetness of life No mat ter how big the place she may have gained. she wnows it is insignificant beside that of the woman who has had that which she has denied her self. The mother love is there. buried in her nature, and it won't be denied its hearing
 Yet the woman who carelessly rears her children commits as great folly. for in later years she sees and un- derstands just why failures in their lives have come about and she knows. too. that only for her own errant na- ture. things might have been diff ferent
 In this age of ours we are talking much about producing THE Great Race of the future, but this can never come about until men choose their wives with the idea that they are to be the mothers of their children and not the playthings of their mature years; not until women choose their husbands as the prospective fathers of their prospective children, and not as the money maker who shall give them the material comforts of the world. There is nothing bold in such proposition. It is both good ethics and good morals and the only code whereby the fine and accurate adjust ments of family life may be main tained.

A Typical Case.

The average citizen ought to con- gratulate himself upon his freedom from the troubles and endorsements which are encountered by the profess sional politician.
 The professional politician has to be shifty-or thinks he has to be, which comes to the same result.
 We are moved to these remarks by an incident of the last week, the facts of which are known to several reputable men hereabouts.
 A distinguished insurgent statesman at Washington wrote a private letter to a friend at Phoenix. in which the said insurgent statesman stated that the constitution as framed for Ari- zona would undoubtedly be turned down by the president and by con- gress But the friend was enjoined not to make the letter public.
 Much point was lent to the letter by reason of the fact that the writer thereof is an ardent advocate of pro gressive legislation" and he had re- gently announced his friendship for the initiative and referendum and re- call
 The friend that received the letter happens to be extremely anxious for Arizona to have statehood. He would be willing-as practically all Arizona citizens would be-to accept statehood under the pending constitution. or any other constitution that Arizona men might write.
 He considered it important. indeed. that his Washington friend. the in-

Voices of Ghost Babies

There is poetry. there is inspira tion, because there is truth in this bit of philosophy picked up by the roadside: "The race marches forward on the feet of little children ." Have You ever taken time to consider that whatever the future character of the race may be depends exactly upon the type of little children produced and trained today
 If the race in the future is to be physically big and strong. if it is to be Intellectually strong. if it is to be artistically and politically supreme. you must do your duty today towards the children who are growing up around you. There must be no hel- skelter methods in training and there much be no guesswork in their care.
 The ideals you inspire in them now will be the ideals they will project into the world at some future time. If they are to have force of character and mental poise in the days to come. you must lay the groundwork now.
 Children must not be regarded in the home as nuisances. but rather as pOh SitdltSl SlllS lO men ana WO- men. The woman who shuns mother hood and who rails against her fate when it is thrust upon her some day. is likely to cry out in bitterness for the very children she denied herself. The woman who remains single be- cause she doesn't want the respon- abilities of motherhood. some day is likely to find herself haunted by the ghosts of the babies she never had.
 God places the call of motherhood in the heart of every woman and sooner or later it becomes the su- preme call of her life She may heed it only when the sunset rays of life fall across her path. but when she does finally listen. she knows that whatever she has gained in the world has been paid for by forfeiting the most priceless gift of all, and could she make over her life. she would gladly surrender all she has gained to feel childish arms around her neck. or childish head on her breast. or to hear a childish treble in her ear, and as she sits in the midst of her regrets. she hears from out of the Somewhere
