STOCKS

Boston, Mass.-Traders during the
early hours showed a continuance of
yesterdays confidence, but in the late
dealings the demand for stocks ceas-
ed and scattered selling depressed
prices all through the local list. The
Calumet x Hecla consolidation is stll
creating considerable thought and the
stockholders of the sub-companies
have not yet made up their minds as
to the best course TO pursue. No ef-
fort is being made toward manipula-
ton in any Of the stocks and the mar
ket in all of them is practically bare
Of orders. Copper Range is unusually
strong today and this property Is daily
gaining friends as the result Of the
failure and uncertainty regarding sew
eral Of the other coppers.-Foster to
Paine, W6hber & Co.
The street was little more philos-
optical concerning the Calumet &
Hecla consolidation today. A better
and more intelligent view was had and
tendency to look upan it from an
other view point than a speculative
one was apparent. Prices for the
stocks concerned softened due to
realization that the price of $40 for
the new issue arbitrarily fixed by the
News Bureau was too high. The gen
eral market was firm and closed at a
good advance after considerable profit
taking. Opinion is getting more opti-
mistic and a slow improvement is gem
orally expected.-L j. Sturgis.

THE COMING CORONATION.

The preparations for the coronation next
month absorbing London more and more
daily. They have reached the point of re
hearsal now and the beautiful feature is the
absorbing interest which English men and wom
en- are taking in every detail. Sometimes we
think that selfish people prize what they pos
more than do generous ones. Old Eng
land has given more than proof that she
looks out closely for no one, but herself but
what she has is in her estimation little better
and finer than any other nation has. No other
country has any such king or queen as hers
other country has any such glorious old Alb
hey as hers, in which to crown a king and
queen; and there must be mistake hitch
in the legal performance.
And all kinds of Threats are practicing on
the national air, that by coronation day every
voice in the little isle will be in accord to sing
it, 1t will be splendid, too, because down be-
meath it all there will be a patriotism upon
which there will be no faint patriotism that
were the old isle to be assailed would make
every man hero in it's defense. 1t is that pa
triotism which is the sovereign element in the
English character; the which amid all the
storms of a thousand years has held the land
steady and been perpetual notice to the world
outside that to maintain the land integrity
intact every English heart is a part of her de-
Tense.
Some Of us would like to witness that coro-
nation spectacle. Not especially account OF
George and Mary; that could be well counter
feited in cheap theater; but to be there and
to listen-for the whispers of those, the mighty
ones, who have been sleeping there through
the centuries. Of course the whispers would not
be heard, but could fancy that they We're,
and would not that be just WELL when we
think 'what shadows we are, what shadows we
pursue ?''-Goodin's Weekly

DESERVE TO BE STATES.

There be no question of the right of
both New Mexico and Arizona to statehood.
Even though the constitution of the latter be
displeasng in some features the two great ter
riories should longer be denied the privilege
Of assuming the dignity of states Admission
to the Union is due their people and their grow
ing interests.
In no way is the constitution of Arizona
dangerous to the welfare Of the nation Al
though it contains a provision for the recall of
the judiciary the question is one in which only
the people of Arizona are concerned. and the
power to change their fundamental law at amy
time would reside with them The forty-six
other states would have no immediate interest
in the details of the states internal adj
ministration, provided it were in general CON
formity to the national principles of representa-
tive government
1t is unjust longer to keep New Mexico
and Arizona under territorial government With
larger populations than several states that have
for many years been in the Union, and with
vastly greater resources in mineral and agr-
cultural wealth, they have been butfeted about
in politics until they remain the only part of
the contiguous continental territory of United
States over which the national government has
insisted upon exercising the authority of guard
anship
The buck is passed to President Taft by
every congressman who hopes to make little
political capital out of speech against the adj
mission OF the two territories because OF the
character of Arizona's constitution but are
of the opinion that the president would ap-
prove joint-Statehood bill should the present
congress pass such q measure
Admission should not be a political ques-
ton. If properly considered it does not involve
national political issue New Mexico and
Arizona, by every demonstration, are entitled
to the rights of statehood and should without
further delay or partisan debate, be accorded
the full rank and position in the Union that
they deserve and are entitled to-

THE RECIPROCITY DEAL.

The proposed reciprocity trade with Canada
is utterly bad 1t has no redeeming feature
and can have none. 1t is contrary to the prin-
ciples of the republican party and could not
be executed under democratic free trade. 1t is
destructive of the American tradition of impair
tial trade with all countries 1t is anathema.
Wretched as it is in theory, it originates
in the house of representatives, where, the n
stitution says it must actually original, and
it must be enacted into law by congress.
And yet President Tft serves mott" up n
congress that it must not be touched 81 eilhor

And it is not treaty. 1t is domestic revenue

What are we coming to? Have we aban
doned the idea of even representative govern
ment? Are our laws to be written in the exec
utive department and be merely registered"
in congress after the ancient French fashion
when King Louis went down to parliament
and held a "bed of justce?'
It looks that way. That has been the way
of President Diaz for many years, and it has
made him very unpopular, 1t does not seem
to the San Francisco Chronicle that it will DE

ance there are matters far more important than

look less rosy than they did although It IS a
long way from being beaten.
Over in Canada they hate it as bad as we
do and as the people are being heard from IL
is beginning to be rumored that PREMIER Wllfred
Laurer is not going to be able to hold his
majority.
And the leader Of the opposition says in
print that if he does hold it is will be his last
majority for there will be an election
which it is claimed will make short work with
the premier and assure the repeal OF the agree
ment forthwith.
Over in England it seems to have no friends
at all, although it is recognized as trade
quite within the power of Canada to make.
Englands hopes are set on imperialism and
this bargain is regarded death blow to
Imperialism British statesmen believe that Mr..
Champ Clark blurted out what he really thought
when he suggested that it might lead to an
nexation.
Annexation would be popular enough on
this side of the border, but Canadians shudder
at the very idea.
It is muddle and, if it passes our congress,
will make havoc with the political prospects
of many statesmen. But the most serious feat

debating to congress what laws it shall pass.
