TAFT AND STATEHOOD.

From the Memphis News-Scimtar.
Will the President permit Arizona and
New Mexico to enter the sisterhood Of
states? Can the presidential pen rise
superior to party politics?
From the Philadelphia Record.
If the President is right he ought to
recommend the expulsion of Oregon,
which has Incorporated a provision for
the recall Of judges into its constitution.
From the New Haven Evening Register.
The news from Washington is that Mr.
Taft will be consistent regarding the ju-
dicial recall, which means that he will
veto the statehood bill as 1t has come
from the Senate. It is not news that
Mr.. Taft will be consistent. And those
who want to secure the admission Of
New Mexico and Arizona had fair warn
ing.
From the Dallas News.
Mr.. Taft has declared that Arizona's
constitutional provision for the recall Of
judges will debar that territory from
becoming Q state during his administra-
tion. 1t is up to Arizona to change the
constitution or change the administration.

herewith a national style show. demon

be labeled. and the tariff on each piece Of
farbric noted. This will include foreign
and domestic woolens. and an impartial

hibited. Owen Owen, national president
Of the tailors, said last night this one
exhibit alone would be Of supreme impor-
lance to the apparel interest Of the coun-
try.
President Taft is known to take a keen
interest in the matter Of clothes for the
American people. He desires, above all
things, that they should be afforded the
best of woolens at the most equitable
prices possible. This convention Of tail
ors will be the most important in the
history Of the trade in this country. Ap-
parel will be shown in all its phases.
and the American people will be enabled
to get first-hand information as to the
why's and wherefores Of the clothes they
buy This tariff exhibit is one Of the
special features Of an educational ma
ture at the National Style Show.
Charles J. Columbus, manager Of the
convention and exhibition, announced
last night that the Chicago tailors had
made Geographic reservation for a "Chi-
cago section in the style show; that
the tailors Of the Windy City had pre-
pared a display Of apparel that was cal
culated to establish the prest1se Of Chi
cago as a center Of fashion. The Chi
cagoans are said to be particularly de-
sirous Of hunbling the pride Of Eastern
tailormen. especially the New Workers..
The Chicagoans have arranged to come
to Washington in a special train.
