 THE IMPOSSIBLE
 AYERS GAZETTE.
 If statehood for Arizona Is to depend on Charley Akers and those who are boosting his political game then sure and certain the jig is up and We are doomed to finger in the territorial wilderness. u is pretty well understood now that statehood will not be granted under the pres ent constitution because of the, re- fusal of President Taft to approve enc and perhaps more of it's radical measufes. We have the word If those who have been to Washington for a widespread opposition among senators and congressman to the re call feature of the constitution, anl should President Taft withhold his approval on that account there viii be very few. aside from Jonathan Bourne's republican progressive league and Senator owen, who will be surprised at his action.
 Akers, through the columns of his paper. the Gazette. is smelling the woods in an effort to secure contri- buttons to a fund to pay the ex- penses of Akers. Brady o'Neil and Frank Avis. all of Phoenix. on an- other trip to Washington in the interest of statehood, potwithstanl- ing the well-known fact that tho presence of these gentlemen in Washington has already done posi- tive and perhaps irreparable harm to the cause of statehood They be long to that class who have pro 'ceeded on the theory that the pro vision in the statehood enabling act giving to the president and congress the right to reject the Arizona con stitation was a meaningless section of that document and that neither the president nor congress would DARE oppose the will U Arizona so far as the constitution of the new state is concerned.

 Further commenting on the propo- sition made by Akers, asking that
 he, Brady O'Neil and Frank Avis. iall of Phoenix. be sent to Wash ington on a fund to be contributed
 by the public as a statehood com
 mittee the Daily Globe says:
 i This paper does not believe that Messrs. O'Neil. Akers and Avis are entitled to a trip to Washington at
 the expense of the people, to whom l the Gazette is appealing for funds There is nothing Of envy of jealousy
 in the attitude of this paper, but 1t does believe that if a delegation be
 sent at the public expense, it should
 be a delegation representative of Arizona, not of one community. It
 should be a delegation of men of
