PRESS COMMENT
PROPOSED STATEHOOD
 TON

TON.
 IEl Paso Herald)
 Ii is proposed to admit both New Mexico and Arizona to statehood with the understanding that the voters of each state will pass upon the blanks that have caused obJec- tions from congress.
 The legislators who object to Ar zona's constitution, do so principally upon the grounds that il provides for the recall of the judiciary; those who object to the New Mexico dOcu- ment. raise the cry that 1t will be entirely too difficult of amendment Each of these matters. 1t Is propos- ed to submit to the people of the state concerned. If the people ap- prove them as written in the consti- tutiou. the states may be admitted with the constitution as adopted by the convention; if the people fail to apurove them, then the states will come in with the objectionable para graphs omitted.
 The people of Arizona thus have q chance to say whether they want the recall of judges to go into their constitution: if they vote for it. they have only themselves to thank for putting it in; if they vote it out, they will show much better business judgment, but regardless of what they do with it, they will at least have had a chance to express them selves on the matter. Nevertheless, tae state should never be admitted until the recall of judges is elim- mated.
 As for the constitution of New Mexico, it is doubtful If the objec- tionabIe clause needs removal lt is just as well to make a constitution somewhat difficult of amendment. But 1t will hurt nothing to allow the people to vote on both of the objectionable amendments, and if 1t will hurry statehood any, let us have the vote as soon as possible.
 The voting, as proposed, need not delay the admission of the territories as states. The vote is merely to be taken at the first state election when officers for the two new states are chosen.

THE RETIREMENT
 OF PRESIDENT DIAZ.

OF PRESIDENT DiAZ.
 The announcement that President Diaz is to retire from the position of president ol Mexico where he has reigned supreme over the destinies Of that country for more than a quarter Of a century will not be . surprise to those who have come to a realization Of the growing strength of the revolt led by Francisco Madero. All other matters involved in the peace conference were agreed to before the ending of the armis- tice last Saturday except the de mand made by Madero that Presi- dent Diaz make public statement of his intention 10 leave the pres dential office as soon as peace was restored to the country. There had been a confidential agreement that Diaz would retire just as soon as the country had been returned to a peaceful state. but General Madero insisted that it would be impossible for him to stop hostilities without a public statement from Diaz on that point
 There is not the slightest doubt that Madero would have gladly re- trained from making such demand on President Diaz had he bslieyed that his word for peace would haze caused all his follows 10 lay down their arms and return 10 their homes and their business and industrial pursuits The sentiment in the To- cal junta and among the insurrecto leaders in Sonora has been all the time strong for the retirement of Diaz from the office of president and the declaration has been repeat ed many times that there would never be peace again in Mexico so long as Diaz attempted to hold the office of president
 With the declaration Of President Diaz that he will retire from the office Of president Of Mexico just as soon as peace has been agreed 10. there can be no longer any excuse for prolonging a war which has already devastated a wide area Of the country where without the aid of the government deprivation and starvation will he inevitable for some time to come
 Now that the prospects Of end ing he trouble are bright it is ap- propriate to say that American and foreign interests have right to congratulate themselves on she fact that they have fared so well in q country where there have been so many different insurrecto bands who were practically acting without di- rection from any definite head
 The mining camps tributary to Douglas have not been molested ex. cept in one or two cases where small camps were footed by those who have no standing with the in surrection or with insurrecto leaders Americans have universally received courteous treatment from the rebels AS they always had from the gov ernment officials In many cases in surrectos have taken what they needed from Mexican merchants and raneheros, giving them receipts T return and fn the final peace agree ment these claims will most likels be all provided for
