Sloan to Be Judge

Governor Richard E. Sloan of Arizona will be the federal judge for the district formed by the ad- mission of New Mexico and Ari- zona to statehood, according to a Washington news dispatch. The appointment will be made very soon after the first state election, which is expected to eliminate the recall of the judiciary and be the final act in tke accomplishment of statehood. Not only has President Taft very high personal regard for the governor of Arizona, but he estimates his legal qualifications as of the best.

Bailey on Cowards

No one who knows Senator Jos. w. Bailey will say that he lacks courage. Therefore it is natural that he hates towards. The sena- tor recently expressed the opinion that very few men in congress were venal or corrupt, but he declared that most of them were towards, afraid to live up to their convic- tions because of the effect it might have on their constituents. The senator condemned vigorously this trait in men in public life and de clared that when he found that he could not honestly exercise his con. victions in congress he would re- sign and retire to private life.

A State Fair in Reality

Albuquerque, Sept. 4.-With the signing of the resolution by Presi- dent Taft on Monday, August 21, :, granting statehood to New Mexico, the New Mexico Fair association received positive assurance that it's officers had been correct in the sur mise that New Mexico would be a state before October, and that it had taken the right stand when it had prepared for the fair to De held in Albuquerque, October g to IA, under the name of "The Thirty first Annual New Mexico State Fair" The word "thirty-first" was not retained because use of the words first state fair" would indicate that the fair was new institution. Officers of the fair association are more enthusiastic than ever be- cause of the granting of statehood and have plunged into their work with new ardor. The fair will be for all New Mexico, and it is al- ready an assured fact that the ini tial State Fair will be the greatest in the history of fairs for three decades.

IT DOESN'T PAY

Arizona is not going to do her. self any good as new state by adopting freak legislation. Dissat- isfed because the president forces them to omit the judiciary recall from their constitution, a large number of the citizens of the state insist that the recall shall go back into the constitution just as soon as they can get it there.
 Such acts as this are not best to attract the attention of the people who are needed to develop a new state. Arizona needs all the capi- tai and all the sound citizens she can get, and it would be far better for her to be advertised to the world as inclined to be conserva- tive rather than an ultra radical, if her people would only realize it. Money is not hunting for a chance to be invested-there are more than enough legitimate calls always to keep it busy-and men with money are not going into state that bos sts of freakish and radical laws. Texas had an example Of this when it got after the insurance companies with such legislation that all the biggest ones withdrew from the state and ceased making loans on Texas se- curity.
 That act of the Texas legislature drove millions of dollars from Texas and throughout the east capitalists yet talk of Texas as an "unsafe" state, and keep away. Once state gets such reputation, it is long time overcoming it.
 A state can regulate the trusts" without driving capital away, if it will. A state can also have good laws without menacing the inde. pepdence of the judiciary.
 President Taft will in years to come be recognized as the greatest friend Arizona ever had and just for his efforts to prevent a danger ous innovation, but at present there is a tendency in certain quarters to resent his interference" as they call it, and make the freak laws even stronger just to ''show him. Arizona will be shown. however, before the president is.-Tucson Citizen.

IT is now claimed that another blow hole has been discovered in the constitution. The claim is made that no provision was made for the election of justices of the peace or constable.

THERE are many more democrats coming forward az candidates for offices than republicans in all parts of the territory. It is attributed by some, says the Tucson Citizen, to the fact that the democratic party has not had control of the territo. rial offices since the Cleveland ad- ministration. There are 235 offices to be filled at the coming election Tn Arizona, not including precinct offices or committeeman.

WHEN you pull down the town in which is your home, you are pull ing down yourself. and when you build up you are building up your self and your neighbor.

Thanks for Film Crusade.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
| may be a little late in extending
my compliments to you on the crusade
you have started upon the picture
that do not conform with the
ordinance, but according to the old
adage better late than never" 1 am
a family man and my son, who is 10
years old, has been a source of great
annoyance because he has been pester-
ing me, with the old story of wanting
to visit the picture shows as a diver
sion after his school work.
My wife, who on several occasions,
has accompanied the lad to the shows,
has told me that the pictures were not
worth seeing because they depicted
affairs that were liable to poison the
minds of children who were not morally
strong. Keep up your good work

OUR TREATY RIGHTS IN RUSSIA.

i'd 9th Christian and Jewish citizens are interested in the
ID ameeting to be held mNewark tonight TO voice the now in
sistent national demand that our government should compel
Russia to live up to her treaty engagements with us by recognize.
ng8and' respecting the passports given to American citizens, re.
gardless of race or religious creed. Resolutions on the subject
are now pending in Congress, and will be pushed after Congress
conyenes, and it is understood chat President Taft will make refer
enea to the subject in his message. Protest against the unfaith
of the Great White Bear is not new. 1t began forty years ago, and
thestreaty is nearly eighty years old. Not Jewish citizens alone
are disseminated against by the Russian regulations, for the bars
are put up against the priests and missionaries of American Chris
tan churches, whose passports are thrust back upon them. The
greater ofense is against the Jewish citizen. Many thousands in
this country have family ties and business interests in Russia, and
yet they cannot visit that country, although they have the guar.
antee OF, a passport, simply because they are of the Jewish faith.
Wehave been slow enough in asserting our treaty rights, and now
we cannot be roo quick in demanding them.

oNDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 81, 1911.
ROOSEVELT NOT A CANDIDATE, BUT

HE Philadelphia North Americans solemn article today re
citing that Theodore Roosevelt, by his own declarations, is
not a candidate for the Republican nomination for Presi
dent. and by inference cannot be nominated, is little more than a
rehash OF what has been published over and over again since Roose
welt left office. But it proves nothing as to the presidential nomina-
ton in 1912. Roosevelt may again, over his signature, repeat his
declaration that he is not a candidate and express a strong disin-
cination to take the nomination, and probably his words will only
serve to intensity the party sentimen that was latent until recently
and has within "a few weeks turned so strongly toward his nomina-
ton. The Republican party is seriously split and the judgment of
its most sagacious leaders is that there is only one man upon whose
candidacy Republicans can unite, and that man is Roosevelt. When
a party needs a Moses and finds one it is not going to pass him
by and 4pemain in the wilderness simply because he expresses an
unwillingness. Itis not a new experience for a party convention to
nominate a man who is not a candidate without his consent.
