Two New States.

President Taft has attached his sig
nature to the New Mexico-Arizona
statehood bill, which now makes total
of 48 states. i
To bring the two territories formally
now into the Union it is only necessary
that the electors shall adopt the consti-
buttons as provided for in the statehood
resolutions, and there is practically no
doubt that this will be done.
The original Arizona constitution
provided for the recall of the judiciary,
and on this account was vetoed by the
president. The New Mexico constitu-
ton has a section makingit difficult of
amendment. and. this feature has been
eliminated in the resolution as endorsed
by the president.
AS soon as the official proclamation
is issued date will be fixed for an
election to approve the constitution
and to provide fer the election of Of
ficers in the two new states.

EASY STREET.

Which is the way to Easy street?
That destinations hard to beat
We search for it on eager feet,
With eyes alight and scanning
Horizons gray, horizons bright,
Still dreading the approach of night
When darkness will make dim our
sight
And bring to naught our planning.
Oh, life is glad in Easy street!
Ask anybody you may meet
And he will this same tale repeat.
Thither he thinks his heading
If he is young and hope is high;
You see it in his kindling eye
He whistles as he passes by
And no defeat he's dreading.
There are no crowds in Easy street.;
For though the place is passing sweet,
It's emptiness denotes defeat
Of man, who's not arriving.
He can not reach that pleasant place;
However sure or swift his pace,
Its pleasures he may never face
For life itself is striving.

TAFT AND THE MAGAZINE SUBSIDY.

TM RESIDENT TAFT is very much in earnest in his purpose
liz to have abolished the immense subsidy paid by the gov
eminent TO the magazines at the expense of a big deficit
in the postal revenues. The people generally, who are compelled
to pay a double letterpostage rate largely because of this sub.
sidy, are with the President and the postmaster general. The
main business of the magazine publishers is to get profits out of
advertising. The principal magazines of the day are one-third
literature and twothirds advertising. 1t appears to the reader
that the literary feature of the magazine is purely incidental. The
profits are enormous. To enhance these business profits the gov.
eminent carries the bulky advertising sections of the magazines
through the mails at the rate of one cent per pound, and al a gov
ernment loss of eight cents per pound. The eight cents is the
subsidy, amounting in a year t.. millions of dollars. The magazine
owners in fighting the government to retain this unjust tax upon
the people for their private benefit try to make it appear that
public educational interests are jeopardized. They conceal their
vast profits from a private business that the people have no con
Germ in and that they should not be compelled to support by sub
sidy. The truth is that the big magazines, like the express com
panies, are enabled by government favor to fatten on the peoples
substance, and it is time TO stop this injustice.

How Far You TraOeL

Everyone has observed tina the lady

to taking any sort of exercise and
pleads incapacity to endure strain will
dance through a full and exhaustive
program, being In this fashion Sc
duced into a most vigorous and, under
proper conditions. beneficial exercise.
says the Chicago Tribune. A certain
scientist interested himself In dancing
and has been anonymously voicing his
deductions in various journals of late.
1t seems that in a normal little dance
the parties travel something like 1119
miles. and do It in much more strenu-
Gus fashion han they would II they
calmly set out to walk the same dis
lance. An average waltz takes you
over something like three-quarters of
a mile, n the various old-fashioned
square dances are at least a half mile
long. The same investigator points
out that to make dancing beneficial the
room should be thoroughly ventilated
SO that a constant supply of fresh
oxygen Is available for the overworked

A FOOLISH TRUNK SEWER BILL.

oTTa HE building of a trunk sewer in the Passaic valley Is fuhy
as important to the smaller municipalities that are OF a
residential character as it is to Newark. The question IN.
voIyed in it is not merely that of sewage disposal. The polluted
Passaic river cannot be maintained in its present condition WIN.
out great injury to the Oranges, TO Montclair and Bloomfield ana
Glen Ridge, and the everincreasing volume of filth that is poured
into it threatens a future pestilence that will not spare these
towns. Property interests and the whole Passaic valley suher
from the bad repute of the river. Essex county would be richer
by millions of dollars in its ratables if the Passaic river was un
polluted. There is only one practicable plan of sewerage, and that
is the trunk sewer. 1t is idle to discuss any alternative. The Pas
sale Sewerage Commission, having overcome many obstacles, IS
now prepared to begin the construction work, and just at TINS
time there appears in the Legislature an utterly foolish, uncahed
for and impracticable bill calling a halt on the commissions plans
and embodying propositions that could not possibly be accepted
by the commission or any of the other contracting municipalities.
The men who got up this bill have reason to hide their identity.
AS for the bill itself, no sane Legislature would enact it. The bill
will go into the legislative wastebasket.
