The parcel post proposition will not down and it is only a question of time until the government will be compelled to establish such a service in spite of the united efforts of express companies to prevent it. There has been mil lions spent by express companies in endeavoring to educate the people against it and especially the merchants, but no live mer- chant need fear a reasonable ex- presss rate and their objection to parcel post is usually based on shaky ground.

The statehood question is so badly tangled at the present writing that the people of Arizona generally have concluded that they don't care a "whoop" much what happens. They are beginning to believe that the old reign under Geronimo ard few more of those gallant gun-powder statesmen is preferable to the present uncer- tainty of guerrilla warfare. If statehood does come under exist ing conditions it will take an army of lawyers and judges to tell us where we are at.

"BoRN LUCKY

You often hear it said; That man was born lucky"
 We'll, whenever you hear that, you can put it down for the hon. est truth that the person who says it doesn't know what he is talking about.
 No one is born lucky.
 Did you ever, after you had looked at an oil painting for a while without being able to make anything out of it, wonder what was the matter with it2 The COWS were all mixed up with the trees and the houses looked like part of the stream and the whole pie ture seemed blurred2 Then you took couple of steps around the room, seeking the right view point. Suddenly you found yourself in the right position. The light fell properly on the picture, and what had been blurred and indistinct was now a perfectly clear land scape scene.
 That's the way you will see these born-lucky people when you get the right light on their history. They have worked hard for what they have and hard-working peo- pie, as a rule, are modest. They don't go around talking about themselves. They will not brag of the hard work they have done or of the fine grains they have, but they will tell you that there is no more luck in succeeding and getting ahead than you can hold on the point of needle.
 Born lucky people have the good trait of the bull dog. They get a grip on their work, just like the bull dog gets a grip on the leg of a tramp. He never lets go until he has brought down his game. The bull dog holds the tramp until his master arrives, and the born lucky man holds on to his work until he has made it deliver success.
 Get the bull dog habit a d hang on.
 Grip your work so that it can not get away from you.
 Never let go until you have suc- ceeded in your purpose.
 Then some day people will point you out and say: That man was born lucky"

There are many reasons why statehood will be beneficial to the people of Arizona and many that few people relize or have consid- cred. If you will take the trouble to look at the maps of Arizona to- day you will see that it is pretty throughly splashed over in colored inks showing Indian, reservations, forest reserves and other with drawals of land. Probably a great deal of it should have been, but vast areas have been with drawn which would not have been had our interests been looked after in congress by a couple senators and a congressman. Thousands of acres of valuable timber and agucultual lands are now tied up and can not be used owing to the title still being held by the United States. A delegate to congress may beg for help, but with three votes to use, it puts different face on the matter when import ant bills are up.
