A Prescott inquirer.

There is . citizen of Prescott who
is unwilling to trust local sources
of information. He has appealed to
The Portland Oregonian as follows:
Prescott. Jan. Ito the Editor g.
Are New Mexico and Arizona
states or territories? If states. when
admitted. A.
There is we believe in all the cOun-
Try no more accurate and thorough
ly informed newspaper than the Ore
sonian. Yet its high reputation is not
fully sustained in the following re-
ply to the anxious inquirer from
Prescott:
Arizona and New Mexico are still
under territorial form of government.
Bills admitting both have passed con-
gress and convention in each ter
ritoIy has adopted a constitution. 1t
will be necessary for the people of
Arizona and New Mexico and for
congress To ratify the constitutions.
When this has been done the presi-
dent viii issue a proclamation fix
ing a day for formal admission.
Ii will be seen that one very i'm
portant step in the procession to-
ward statehood is disregarded-the
approval of the president without
which the ratification" by congress
would be Of no avail
When the president may exercise
the power conferred upon him h.
the enabling act is not certain. He
and congress will be officially in
formed OF the action taken by III,
voters at the election for the ratifi-
eatinn of the constitution. This
notification MAY be made At any
Time after the canvassing Of the vote
for which a period of three weeks is
place on February 2 il would be i'm
possible for the notification to reach
Washington before the end Of the
session but il may reach the presi-
dent at any time thereafter.
He could not. if he. desired take
any affirmative action toward has
tening statehood before the as
sembling of the next congress i'm reg
ular session. so that if the constitu-
ton should receive his approval, the
matter would have to wait until the
meeting of congress when, if it
should approve the constitution. the
proclamation would be issued
But if the constitution should not
meet the. views of the president, after
d consideration OF it. he might then
make definite statement withhold
ing his approval That would there
fore be the end of the whole mat
ter. There would he nothing for
congress to do.
II is therefore possible that
within very short time after the
president receives notification of the
result of the election we will know
whether or not we are to be admit
ted TO statehood under the enabling
act. the elimination of so many years
of effort. This information may
come To as say. as early as the mid
die of March. Or, it may be with
held If the president should happen
to be in a jocular mood. so that it
would reach US on the morning of
April ]. a day devoted To gong
around kicking old hats with bricks
under them. or STOPPING down to pick
mp purses which are suddenly with
drawn by a hitherto unobserved
string. and doing many other things
which we Immediately wish we had
not done.

up in great part of the vote in Los
Angeles county.
After the primaries. though the
progressives were silent, they seem
TO have conceded that Works was
out of the running. At the regular
election sufficient number of the
representatives from the Spaiding
districts were chosen Ia insure his
election. Thereupon the reform
ers'' began TO lay plans for the de-
feat of the will of the people of a
majority Of the districts. Al. first the
primary law was not attacked though
latterly it has been declared by the
progressives To be iniquitOus.
The earlier pretexts when the re-
vival of Works hopes was begun
were udicrous II was urged that he
was plainly the choice of not only a
majority of the people of southern
California but of a majority of the
districts of that part of the state;
that southern California being en-
allowed its choice. Thus. the Works
adherents proceeded upon the theory
that there is state of South Cali
fornia rather than a southern part
of the state of California.
Next the primary law was thrown
to the winds and the winning of
representatives pledged To Spalding
was begun by coercion and the
promise of patronage. Some Of
these senator's and assemblymen
have declared in interviews
that they do not consider
themselves bound by the votes Of
their constituents.
In order that the primary law
might he brought to the attention Of
members. Spalding adherent last
Friday offered in the legislature a
resolution requesting an opinion by
the attorney general regarding it.
This resolution was tabled by an
overwhelming reform" vote. This
gagging was heard of with glee by
the progressive" newspapers of the
state Instead of concealing the legis-
lature's shame it was displayed under
flaring headlines
As To the fitness Of Works and
Spalding for the senatorship there is
perhaps little choice between the
candidat ties The fame of one rests
upon the superior quality of the
base balls his factory turned out.
and the other who had been q small
and Intellectual politician brought
himself into the local limelight once
by denouncing President Roosevelt
for something or other. That was
before the organization Of the Lin
coin Roosevelt league
We are therefore less Interested in
the personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT that will
come to one or the other of these
men today. than in the spectacle OF
| "reformers' multiplying the purpose Of
| the people and disregarding a reform
| law which has happened i'm one case
to act like boomerang.
What guaranty will the people of
| California have that any Of the many
proposed reform measures upoT
which they have set their hearts will
should happen not To serve the pur-
pose of the reform" leaders?

OBITUARY..

On Dec. 10. 1911, at 1 O'Clock, a.
m, the death angel entered the home
of Bro Berry Threlkeld and took their
second daughter, sister Eula She
had suffered for several weeks with
typhoid fever All was done that low
ing hands of family, neighbors, and
their kind and faithful physician
could do but the summon had come,
and she quietly and peacefully an
swered the call. Ii was her gain.
The loss is to those who are left be-
hind. Her home has lost one of its
brightest jewels, her school one of
its most faithful and amiable stu
dents, and her church one of its
most lovable members.
The flower that blossoms sends
forth its perfume, and perishes in the
same way, mas not come for nought.
The little bee has feasted upon its
sweets, its fragrance has stimulated
many passers by, so with this brief
months duration here on earth. 1t
has, in this short period of time,
come in contact with so many who
were so near and dear to her that
knows nothing about that peace that
passeth understanding. We trust

Sister Eula was born July %. 1897.
Born again last August. and united
with the Poplar Grove Baptist church
and spent her remaining few days
serving her Master. Her remains
were laid to rest in the Poplar Grove
Cemetery followed there by a host
of sorrowing friends. May We say
to her sorrowing loved ones. to look
on the bright side and no longer wish
that their loved one was again on
earth to suffer, but may they rejoice
in the fact that she is happy in her
heavenly home.
The floral contributions We're beau
tiful, and those presented by her
Sunday School class could not be ex-
celled. The funeral services were
conducted by the writer, her pastor.
