Commenting on the attitude of the Los Angeles Times toward Arizona's campaign. for state 'DOWSING" hood, the Times' able ARIZONA. and enterprising; neigh bor, the Los Angeles Herald, says: "Following Its Quixotic propensity to attack everything In sight, the Los Angeles Times is now giving its at tention to 'downing' Arizona's effort for statehood. Not satisfied with its argument that the territory should be kept out of the union for partisan reasons, it turns savagely on the Ari zona people, and their newspapers. The Times says of the Arlzonlans: " 'Twenty years ago they were dis cussing the same problem ... then, as now, the statehood boomers made a noise as disproportionate to their numbers as do a couple of coyotes on the moonlit mesa.' "The Times supplements Its abusive tirade with what purports to be a let ter from an Arizona citisen, in which the statehood proposition is hotly an tagonised. The letter, as might be expected from the fount of its pub licity, appears with a dash in lieu of a signature. Arizona men are not usually either ashamed or afraid to back their words with their names, and hence there is ground for suspicion that the dash is the 'totem' of the Times, sig nifying 'made in Los Angeles.' In other words, the bellicose brigadier general may be once more indulging in his favorite pastime of writing letters to himself. "Only two points are urged in the long-drawn letter in question. One is the partisan objection raised by the Times, and the other is the novel idea that Arizona cannot afford statehood. As the first proposition is understood by readers of the Herald, attention will now be called to the second one. The 'totem' letter says: 'The second feat ure of statehood would be added ex pense, with added taxes; there would be no way out of it: we would be compelled to pay our state officials, our trial Judges, our legislators and their expenses, all items that are now met by 'Uncle Sam.' ' In other words, Arizona should remain a territory for the sake of having 'Uncle Sam' con tinue to pay its expenses. To be more explicit, according to this view, Ari zona is a pauper, dependent for its living on the bounty of the federal government. In population, wealth and natural' resources Arizona today has stronger claims to statehood than three-fourths of the present states had when they passed from territories to states. California should be particu larly earnest in efforts to assist the sister territory. Our own state's pro gress was checked, while in its ter ritorial stage because of delay In its admission to statehood, for reasons akin to the main objection raised by the Times concerning Arizona. But Immediately after the admission of California the state bounded into pros perity, and a like result would now fol low the admission of Arizona." The statement is frequently made that Massachusetts is one of only five states in the union in NO which no lynchings LYNCHING have occurred during IN ARIOZNA. the last sixteen years, the other four being Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah. Arizona should be included in the list. It has been many many years all of sixteen, and probably longer since there was a lynching in this territory. Not only has there been no lynching, but in everything that goes to make up a civ ilized and progressive community, Ari zona has a right to be considered with the best. It would not be strictly correct, how ever, to say that our citizens never are tempted to resort to lynching. For instance, when they find themselves patronized by provincial tenderfeet from the east when they hear the cal low traveler expressing his surprise at finding that the people of Arizona pos sess some intelligence, education and culture; his wonder at seeing that our towns are more modern than places of similar population in the states; that nearly everybody, including farmers. In the territory reads a daily paper; that churches, school houses and li braries abound; that the women are well dressed and refined: that in every town of any size men appear in dress suits upon proper occasion, that Ari zona, in short Is tynical of the best that America produces, and that life and property here are safer than in most places in the union when the educated man from the east is heard confessing that he has learned all this only after reaching the territory, wo must admit that there is a strong temptation to form a syndicate and lynch that fellow, forthwith. Last week there was a mutiny' in the federal prison at Leavenworth. The prisoners made a break RED TAPE. for liberty, there was a struggle with the guards and a desperate fight in which some of the guards and prisoners were killed and others wounded, and some twenty-five of the most desperate con victs escaped after having equipped themselves with arms and ammuni tion. Since then there has been an exciting man-hunt in the two hundred miles of country between Leavenworth and Oklahoma. The escaped prison ers have spread a reign of terror throughout a large section of Kansas. In going through the country they have committed numerous robberies and other acts of violence. The farm ers, sheriffs and constables turned out In pursuit. Encounters have been numerous. Many of the convicts have been recaptured or killed, but up to yesterday (Sunday) there were still nine at large. .How many more deaths will be occasioned by efforts to re take these desperadoes how many more citizens may be Injured or killed cannot be known until the last con vict is' rounded up. Altogether it has been such an experience as Kansas has not had since border days. Yet most of the trouble and casual ties incidental to returning these con victs to the penitentiary could have been avoided. It was not avoided be cause red tape was in tho way. Ad jacent to the federal prlBon is the Fort Leavenworth military post, which is occupied by veteran cavalry of the regular army. Exaotly the men "and equipment needed for running down and capturing the escaping convicts were at hand. A troop of the Fourth cavalry did start in pursuit, but the troopers were recalled when It was found that the "regulations" forbade the use of the troops outside the mili tary reservation A more shining il lustration of the absudities cf red tape never came under our notice. The Kansas papers are severe In their comments. Says the Hutchinson News: Had the troops been sent in pur suit of those escaping convicts Thurs day, they would have been captured without delay and would not now be terrorizing the entire state. The fed eral troops should be used for the pro tection of life and property at all times, and whenever occasion demands it. It is to be hoped that while Presi dent Roosevelt is cutting the red tape that ridiculously binds the war depart ment, he will attend to this seemingly foolish regulation. The Leavenworth Times suggests that if the soldiers are for dress pa rade only, the regulations are all right, but if the troops are for service when they are needed, the regulations are all wrong. It states that if the troops had been ' permitted to act those who were unfortunately shot and killed or wounded might have been spared. The common sense of the country will pronounce regulations ridiculous which forbid federal troops from pur suing federal prisoners anywhere in United States territory. Upon investi gation it will doubtless be found that this regulation Is musty with age and has come down from the days of "states' rights" when people were taught to look upon their federal gov ernment as an enemy. While public attention is directed to the .war in South Africa, the fact is generally overlooked "CIVILIZING" that due efforts are AFRICA. being made to civilize the black man in a portion of the dark continent from which little has been heard since Henry M. Stanley retired from the Bervice of the king of the Belgians. The ugly rumors from the Congo, which have persisted for the last four years in spite of repeated denials, ap pear, from the report of an American formerly in the service of the Congo Free State, to have been well founded. He says in one of the "punitive ex peditions" lasting only six weeks 900 natives were killed, and in another of three weeks' duration 300 were killed. These expeditions, according to him are merely "rubber-squeezing raids." The natives are forced to work under the muzzles of rifles and are driven by rapacity and cruelty to constant re volts. Three years ago, when the mis sionaries brought back stories about slave labor and the inhuman punish ments inflicted by the government for a refusal to work rubber or pay rub ber tribute, it was merely said that great advance had been made In rail way building and that economic pros pects were excellent. Hideous tales about setting one tribe of savages to murder another, and about basketfuls of human hands delivered in proof of the thoroughness of the Job, tales of cannibalism on the increase and of savagery several degress lower than before the whites came in, were quiet ly brushed aside. Since then the ac cusations have gathered. It has been openly charged that the government is a huge trading monopoly founded on a system of forced labor, worse in some, respects than slavery and main tained with more brutality In the state domain than anywhere else. The in tervention of the powers has been urged. But m Belgium last summer, when the question of interference came up, the debate turned as, usual on economic conditions. The com panies were making money, and those which were on good terms with the Free State government were paying enormous dividends. It was decided to be inexpedient to assume control of a state that had shown it knew so well how to manage its own affairs.

Charles H. Hackley of Muskegon, Mich., has decided to give to that city a statue of the late President Mc Kin ley, to be unveiled on memorial day next year. This is the sixth statue that Mr. Hackley has presented to Muskegon, the others being those of Grant, Lincoln. Sheridan, Farragut and General "Phil" Kearney. He has also given to Muskegon a soldiers' monument, the finest in Michigan; a park, public library, manual training school, and the six monuments, at an aggregate cost of over $700,000. Of course Bulgaria should be held responsible for the capture and deten tion of the American missionary. It matters not if the ransom is paid and the prisoner released. The United States has a strong case against Bul garia, and It will be pushed. Perhaps it may be revealed that Turkey ought to pay its share of the indemnity.

Citizens of Oregon are trying to get the president Interested in the pro posed exposition to be held at Port land in 190 in commemoration of the centennial anniversary of the explo ration of that region by Lewis and Clarko. Portland would do well to take notice of the financial disasters which have uniformly attended second rate expositions, and pass the scheme up. The enumeration of 1900 nhows that there are more men and boys than women and girls In this country, ami that the difference exceeds 1,800,000 in a population of 76,303.387. The excels appears more distinctly, perhaps, when it is said that there are 512 males end only 88 females in every 1,000 people In the United States.

It is reported from London that Her bert Vivian, who has laboriously en deavored to resuscitate Dr. Johnson's "Itambler," with but Indifferent suc cess. Is now engaged upon a life of Lord Beaconsfield. The report is dis quieting, for It Is greatly to be doubted whether Mr. Vivian is the man to write such a biography or make a critical study of such a man. It is now something more than twenty years since Lord Beaconsfleli died, and no authentic or appreciative biography of him has yet appeared. By his will he bequeathed to Lord Row ton who as Montagu Corry had been his private secretary all of his paper, letters, and manuscripts of every kind, leaving it to Lord Howton's discretion to preserve, destroy, or publish all or any of them. From this it was ex pected that Lord Ronton would be the biographer, and because of his inti macy with the great statesman it was supposed that the world would soo.t be possessed of the final word concern ing one who had filled so large a space in the public life of England and of Europe, and about whom there existed an almost insatiable curiosity. Two decades have passed and Lord Ronton has not fulfilled, if not a filial duty, at least a very sacred trust, fo. it can not be possible that he has elect ed to destroy the papers bequeathed to him. Of course he may have. Indeed must have, strong reasons for this long post ponement, and the world would gladly know some of them, but chiefly wheth er the biography is ever to appear. If not by Lord Kowton, why should he not place the Beaconsfluld papers 'n some "competent hand," as the Glad stone papers were turned over to John Morley to write the book. For my part I would like to nominate Andrew Lang for that important post. We then would have a biography as authentic as a WHOOP! Jo Ernest Walker a t " a. i 1 it-io ouum oecunu parliamentary ac t, and as entertaining I as a novel. But if we are not to have the life on any terms, why should we not have at least some of Disraeli's letters. One of my favorite volumes Is "Lord Bea- conslleld's Correspondence with His Sister." I thli.k I enjoy It as much as Tharkeray used to enjoy "Howell's Let ters," which was one of his bedside books. The delightful egotism and gos sip that gleam through Disreall's let ters make them perfect In their way, and as concerns himself he was a true prophet. In 1833 he wrote "Heard Ma cauley's best speech. Shlel and Charles Grant. Macaulay admirable: but be tween ourselves I could floor them all. This entre nous! I never was more confident of anything than that I could carry everything before men In that house. The time will come.' This, be it remembered, four years before he en tered parliament, and before he had hud much, if any, experience on thi hustings. As Macaulay said of Dorothy Os borne's letters I say of these "I only wish there were twice as many more." They are human documents that throw much light on the society and public men of London in the early 30's. They are not so full as Macaulay's letters to his sisters during pretty much th same period, but they reveal the writ j er far more than Macaulay's do. I "Conlngsby" is also a favorite with ' me. It is a great and deeply interest- '"8 novel and abounds in plot, char acter, adventure, and epigrams. It contains some real portraits, among ('roker, Theodore Hook, and the cyni cal and dissolute marquis of Hertford. Disraeli's duke of Monmouth ant Thackeray's marquis of Steyne are por traitures of the same person. I li u n (i 1 1 BTntft lavan nnval. In all beginning in 1825 with "Vivian Grey" and ending with "Endymlon" in 1880. These, however, were but stepping stones to his greater deeds. The political career ot Benjamin Dls -raeli. earl of Ueaconsfleld, is one of the marvels of history, a romance so fas- cinatlng that there are few persons not. familiar with it. The story of his life is more entrancing than his novels. Ev ery one has heard of the failure of his first speech, how he was Hooted down and refused a hearing, and how he turned upon his assailants and shouted, above all the clamor, that the time would come when they would hear him. Well known, too, are the epigrams and satire with which he stung Si Robert reel into a frenzy, and finally drove him from power. He began as an adventurer, a despised Jew for, thougti a Christian, he was always a Jew, proud of his race and lineage and he ended as prime minister of England and the possessor of one of its proud est titles. When we consider the times in which he lived, the obstacles of caste and pre judice that be overcame, and the na tion's applause that he at last won, not even Napoleon's life seems moro Incredible or astounding. His rank as a statesman must be left to future ag; to determine, but his enemies did not question his superb qualities as orator and party leader. When he died it was 'discovered that he was a great Eng lishman, and no tribute to his praise was more Just or more eloquent than tifat pronounced in the house of com mons by his lifelong opponent and rival.

"I want to be prime minister." he replied. The peer smiled at the audacity of the speech, but Disraeli meant it. All he asked was leverage standing-room ln the house of commons and he felt I that his ambition would be realized. He prefigured it In his first novels, and j he is their hero. Whether he speaks as Vivian Grey, Contarinl Fleming, Con ' ingsby. or Endymlon, it is his own thoughts, ambitions, and purposes that ' we read, and what his heroes accom plish in romance, he. in his own person. made into history. Why then can we not have the truth about him? Is not such a man as this worthy of a great biography? I REAL BLACK MARIA. The English home office is reported to be considering the abolition of Black I Marin. The origin of the term "'Black Maria" is curious. When New Eng . land was filling with emigrants! from ' the mother country a negress. named Maria Lee, kept a sailors' boarding house In Boston. She was a woman ot . great strength, and helped the author ities to keep the peace. Frequently the police Invoked her aid. and tlje saying, "Send for Black Maria," came to mean, "Take him to Jail." British seamen were often taken to the lock-up iy this amazon, and the stories they spread of her achievements led to the name of Uluck Maria being given to the English i prison van.
