The Catholics of New York are tc
commemorate the memory of the first
Catholic governor, Col. Thomas Don
gan. of the state by emblazoning his
name and deeds on A tablet to be
placed OH st. Peters church. Col
Dongan was an Irishman and a devout
Catholic who, at a time when bigotry
had free sweep ON all sides, was
broad-minded and generous enough
not to recognize religious distinctions
in the discharge of the duties of his
Office. He was an Irishman whose love
OF liberty was too strong to permit
him to forget the rights of others. He
helped materially to blaze the trail to
self government for the colonists of
his day.

and the deaths 7O3.777. a difference OF
only 70,5Sl. which is usually wiped out
in five years by infant mortality. The
number of births is the lowest for the
last century, barring that for 1909
which was 1000 less. In 1859 more
than million children were born in
France. This figure remained about
stationary till 1868. when the number
was over 100000. The births exceeded
100000 for eighteen years, but fell to
$4,000 in 1886. For the following
twenty years they exceeded 100000
annually. During the last four
years the figure of births has begun
with a seven. The increase in 1910
over 1909 Doctor Bertillon considers
insignificant. The decrease in the
death rate also fails to give him any
hope. He points out that it is solely
due to the dwindling birth rate. The

At last statehood appears to be within reasonable reach. Reports from Washington indicate that the Nelson amendment will pass the senate August 7th and that the house will concur, making it a law when signed by the president.
 The Nelson amendment pro- vides for a vote on the recall of the judiciary at the time of the election of state officers. If the recall as applied to the judiciary is eliminated by a vote of the peo- pie, we become a state; if not, we remain a territory and New Mexico goes into the Union alone. An election for state and county officers can be held in November and by January Ist the new off, cers of the great state of Arizona may commence their duties.

It is pleasing fact, that re- gardless of considerable opposi- ton, The Sun is gradually branch ing out in Northern Arizona from east to west as reliable exponent of stock interests. It is impossi- ble to spread faster than stock men come alive to their real inter- |ests. Organization has always been beneficial, concentrated effort, pull and a pull altogether inyeritably brings results. From a personal knowledge of stock, range and stockmen we feel that a boost for The Sun will mean a boost for Northern Arizona and stock interests. The Sun has grown rapidly in the past year and prospects are that it will grow more rapidly in the coming year and be of greater value to stock men and the people of Arizona. A little boost now and then for The Sun will be appreciated.

The Normal Training School

The Northern Arizona Normal Training School will open August IS, at the same time that the Nor maj school opens. It will be con ducted in four rooms of the east wing, on the same floor on which the assembly hall is located. They are some of the best rooms in the building. They will be fitted out with chairs and seats suiting the age and size of the children. In fact, everything will be modern and in first class order. The old training school room will not be used at all except perhaps as play room during bad weather.
 Those who know the situation are aware that the east steps were too steep for comfortable climb ing. The are being torn down and replaced by new cement steps the best modern type, represent ing both elegance and ease. This will be the entrance to the train ing school. Two sanitary drink ing fountains will be placed in this part of the building for the exclusive use of the training school.
 The training school will be open to pupils from the first to the sixth grade inclusive. The board of education expects to add a grade each year till there shall be the regular eight grades. In this con nection it may be noted that children who enter next August, or anytime thereafter, can com plete the eight grades and then enter the Normal school directly from the training school. This is decided advantage, they will be more or less acquainted with the Normal school way of doing and so the more ready to take up the new work.
 Dr. Blome will act as director of the training school, assisted by two critic teachers, Miss Alice Windes and Miss Bessie M. Hicks. Miss Windes is we'll and favorably known to the people of Flagstaff. She will have charge of the pri- mary grades. Miss Hicks, who will have charge of the interme- diate grades, was recently grad uated from the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City. She has had large experience and comes well recom- mended. Those who have met her say that she is a most excell- ent woman, both as regards her personality and intellectual attain ments.
 It will be remembered that sew eral years ago there was but one critic teacher and she was required to spend part of her time teach ing in the Normal department.

Delegate Cameron has made a good fight against free wool. The facts and figures given by him in his speech undoubtedly opened the eyes of many a sleeping con gressman as to the extent of the wool growing industry in the Southwest, as well as that in eastern states, where their VII representatives had failed to rec ognize the great importance of the industry. It is all we'll enough to be democrat or a republican, but the real merit of an office holder rests in his knowledge and courage to point out the things in the way of legislation which are in the direct interest of all con cerned regardless of political affil- iations.

If we have land grabbers and thieves galore in the west, they should be elimi- mated; if the great body of our people are honest, and we know they are, the fact should be inn pressed upon the rampant few back east who are endeavoring to make political capital out of the vests resources.
