Folk a Constructive States.
man..

In a column and a half review
of the career of Joseph w. Folk,
the Frederick, Okla, Leader,
says:
Political economists, writer's,
students and others who have
analyzed his career are conclud-
ing that it is as a constructive
statesman that Joseph w. Folk
will live in history. His achieve
ments as governor of a great
commonwealth were at first
eclipsed by the bright light of
his fame as a reformer and relent-
less enemy of graft, but they
could not long be hid and to-day
his work in behalf of the present
and future generations is univer-
sally recognized and praised.
1t was Mr.. Folk who said: "The
great question before the country
is, ''Shall there be government
by the people for all, or govern
ment by privilege for class?'
Therein is comprised all the is
sues of all parties. The tariff,
trusts, the currency system, con-
servation of natural resources,
immigration, all are included,
for it is the constant warfare bet
ween the people and the pred
atory powers that makes issues,
one and all.
He is the apostle of the law of
common honesty in all affairs.
He is man who "does things. "
Newspapers and public docu-
ments have been full of his name
for years. Even newspapers of
hostile political beliefs have done
him honor, for his achievements
have compelled it. He evolved
the now world-famous Missouri
Idea" and by the force of his
character made it an actual, liv-
ing part of municipal life.
When he said: Bribery is
treason, bribe- takers and bribe-
givers replied: Bribery is a
conventional great constitutional
lawyer for it. !" Two years later
the jails of the United States
were filled with men who had
been convicted of this "conven-
tional crime" Such is the man
who may be President of the
United States.
Surely, say friends, the work
of such a man cannot be finished.
He must be needed elsewhere,
and where his genius and worth
will be of benefit to a greater num-
Der. 1t is this class those who
see danger to the republic in the
trend of public affairs under Re-
publican administration that
favors him for President of the
United States.

Some of the people who will

Ending of the Statehood
Struggle.

The approval of the statehood
bill marked the close of an ear
nest struggle for admission to the
union, dating back over sixty
years. In 1850 the people living
in the region then known as New
Mexico, at that time merely an
unorganized possession, +" pre-
pared constitution and asked
to be admitted to the sisterhood
of states. The request was not
granted. A few years later, in
1863, New Mexico was divided
into two territories, the western
one being named Arizona. Since
the division they have repeatedly
sought statehood, and with each
succeeding decade their request
has been more urgent. Five years
ago when public sentiment in be-
half of the territories had been
wrought up to a high pitch, they
appeared on the eve of capturing
the prize. But congress refused
to do more than pass bill ad-
mitting them as a single state,
provided each territory accepted
that arrangement by popul ar
vote. Arizona, however, declined
to accept the half loaf, her re-
fusal being nearly unanimous.
But both continued to knock for
admission, until in June of last
year congress yielded and enacted
the necessary legislation to en-
able the two territories to become
states, provided the constitutions
adopted should be approved by
congress and the president.
What followed is recent history
which most persons are familiar
with. President Taft declined
to be a party to the judiciary re-
call, and as a result of his firm
ness Arizona must eliminate that
feature of it's constitution in
order to become state. That
the people of the territory will
comply with that condition is un
questioned. The fact that at the
time when the constitutional
change is submitted to the voters
they will also choose full set of
state officers, would alone make
it reasonably certain that the
change which is prerequisite to
statehood will be made. New
Mexico, too, must vote on a
proposition to make her constitu-
tion easier of amendment. While
the progressive spirit dominated
the makers of Arizona's organic
law, that Of New Mexico was
framed by men who were unduly
conservative. The result was q
constitution whose amendment
would be very difficult and re-
quire much time. However, Ari-
zona will make the necessary
changes, and the people of the
territory are confident that it
will be a fullfedged state with a
congressional delegation next De-
cember.
Once admitted as states, Ari-
zona and New Mexico may be
expected to have rapid growth
and development. Each poses
ses stupendous and varied re-
sources. Their status as territor-
les has undoubtedly retarded
their advance. A new and prom
ising era is now dawning upon
them.

Politics in Arizona and New
Mexico will soon be picking up,
and with a real presidential cam
paign waxing hot just across the
border, no one interested in poll
tics need suffer from ennui for
some months to come.

The Body of the Long Missing Girl

New York, March 1S.-The waters
of Central Parks lakes failed to give
up the body OF Dorothy Arnold, the
missing heiress, when the searchers
finished the last big pond tonight.
The result was disappointing to the
thousands lining the shore.
The failure to find Miss Arnold's
body apparently disproves the theory
of her father. Francis r. Arnold, that
she met with foul play while on her
way home through the park and her
body was thrown into the lake.
