GOLF AND SCOTCH WHISKY.
The Growing Favor of the Game Over
Here increases the Sales of
the Liquor.

the Liquor.
"The game OF golf is responsible for
on increase of almost 200 per cent. in
the sale of Scotch whisky in this coun-
try" said a liquor dealer. Scotch
whisky is as essential to a golf player
rs beer to a man at clam bake, and the
growing interest in golf is increasing
the sale of 1his commodity every year.
"In Scotland, where the game of golf
is said to have first been played, the
standard drink is Scotch whisky. OF
course, the American golfers have to
follow the Scotch fashions, and Scotch
whisky and Soda really delicious and
refreshing BEVERAGES the favorite
drink in the golf clubs in this country.
"In liquor trade paper, l saw, some
time ago, some figures on this subject.
Before the game of golf became SO pop.
ular in this country, the annual sale of
Scotch whisky here was less than 10000
gallons. 1t is now said to be some
thing like 10000 gallons year. There
is a well-grounded suspicion that good
deal of this whisky is distilled right In
this country and put into bottles bear
ing the labels of Scotch firm, but l
think it would be impossible to prove
this"

that time, had been born citizens of the
Republic of Mexico, and had enjoyed
the privileges and advantages of our
government for less than a score Of
years; thus exhibiting a devotion to the
country to which they had so recently
transferred their allegiance, worthy of
perpetual remembrance; and 1 allude
to this matter here because, whenever
the territory has applied for admission
as a state into the Union, it has been
and still is objected, by many people Of
the east, that the population of Mexi-
can descent, who have ever comprised
a majority of the inhabitants of the
territory, are not qualified for self-gov-
eminent, by reason of their ignorance
of u government and institutions,
and of their general illiteracy; forget
full of the fact hat nine-tenths at least
of the class thus so unjustly and I'M

tied by birth to all the rights and priv
ileges of such citizenship, but have liv-
ed their whole lives under our govern
ment; that in education and intelli-
gence they need not fear comparison
with any others of similar stations and
vocations: and unmindful also Of the
further fact that congress has, as yet,
never spent a dollar to assist them in
acquiring the education which Is now
as a prerequisite to admis-
sion into the Union, while millions al
most have been spent in supporting in
Incidence the brutal savages of the ter
ritory, and in futile efforts to civilize |
and educate them. Had one-tenth of

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-02-11

AS in the war between the states, so
in that with Spain, New Mexico not on
ly furnished more troops in proportion
to her population than any state or ter
ritory of the United States, (thus main
tanning her former precedence), but in
addition to this she has the enviable
distinction of having supplied the now
famous Roosevelt Rough Riders with
more men and officers than any 9TH
er territory or state, and also more of
who participated with such conspic-
Gus gallantry in the terrible battles
before Santiago, as to add unfading
lustre to the fame of our American sol
diery.
l will not attempt to narrate to the
gentlemen Rough Riders here present,
what they undertook and accomplished
in these memorable battles, as they
know a thousand times more about it
thar | and doubtless think less Of it
thar others do; suffice it that as raw
troops, with but little training, and
never before under fire, they behaved
with all the GOODNESS and steadiness of
veterans; always to be found at the
front in every advance, acting almost
without concert with the other forces
engaged, every trooper seeming to feel
all the responsibilities of an officer, and
every officer sharing in all the arduous
duties required of the men, each intent
only on inhicting the greatest loss on
the enemy and reaching the position
sought for at the time, by the most di-
rect line and in the shortest time posi-
BILE, (and it seems that they never fail
ed to accomplish whatever they under
took, they so distinguished themselves
individually and collectively, by their
dash and gallantry, as to make them
conspicuous among all the brave sold
iers who participated in those desper-
ate conflicts.
Now, | might ask, what could have
redounded more to the credit of New
Mexico thar the share she had in send
ing this famous regiment to the field, a
regiment whose fame is already world
wide? Has she not emulated almost
her former most remarkable record?
But this is not all we did during this
war: We sent in addition 440 equally
brave men under the second call of the
president, who We're not able to get to
the front before hostilities were suspect
ded, who no doubt would have given an

dote told by President Mckinley to
Major Luna and myself at the White
house after our regiment was mustered
out. He said. Il have made up a little
story about Governor Otero's soldiers of
this regiment; that when they landed
of Is and 20 and really needed no Off
Gers, as they just inquired for the trail
to the Spanish stronghold of Santiago
de cuba. and never stopped until they
reached that place and captured it,"
History viii record the fact that on
that terrible march through the tropi-
cal iungles oVer Il trail barely wide
enough for two men marching abreast,
Il distance of 10 miles under the glare of
It sun, whose fatal ray struck down
hundreds of the regular troops, who
marched out ahead of us and whom we
passed on each side of the trail in
groups of three, four and five, prostra-
ted by the heat and compelled to rest
from exhaustion, and yet not a single
soldier of the New Mexico squadron
was left behind, and by s o'clock that
night our regiment had passed more
thar 5000 regular troops and bivouac-
ked at Siboney with nothing between
us and the enemy but the outposts of
the 22d United States infantry. Before
landing from Il transports, each
trooper had been requested to give us

friend, so that they might be notified
should any be killed in action. In my
troop quite a number gave the same di-
reCtions as did Trooper George Roland,
of Grant county, the wounded hero of
Guasimas. who, when | asked him for
the address, simply replied; you a
just send word to Governor Otero that
/ have been killed, doing my duty, as l
promised him at Santa Fe, [ would do"
The soldiers of our command reposed
that trust and confidence in you which
was inspired by your untiring efforts in
their behalf.

to which you are SO justly entitled for
the celebrity with which you met every
demand of the national government
and dispatched to the front, under the
several calls for troops, more than New
ded and your troops returned to Camp
Montauk, o We're there visiting the

uage to properly express my thoughts
upon the subject, but when / tell you
| have seen fever-stricken and emacia-
ted New Mexico soldier boys bow their
heads after our visit to Montauk and
r~everently say, God bless Governor
Otero," my sentiments and theirs rela-
tive to yourself are more clearly Dor
trayed than any words l might utter.
White winged peace has spread it's
mantle over this land and the soldier
of yesterday is the citizen of today,
persuing the pathways of life in the
different channels of industry and en-
ployment, and while you, as the COVER
nor of New Mexico, will be forever N
shrined in our hearts, we have thought
that it would be fitting to present to
won nc n ry nf p11p yacnant and as
TEEN, some small token which might
be handed down to all future genera
tons of your family, and ever be a 81
lent witness of the affection and re-
spect in which you are held by your |
officers and men. I therefore, in the
name of the officers of the New Mexi-
squadron of the First United States |
Volunteer Cavalry, present you with
this medal.
Governor Otero seemed quite overcome
at this expression of confidence and af-
from the representatives of the
as exposed through Major
and in an entirely unaffected
and quiet hut digniied manner made the
following reply:
Major Llewellyn, officers and members
of the New Mexico squadron of the
Rough Riders regiment.
Gentlemen-When, not long ago,
that the officers of the Roose-
Rough Riders belonging to this
.erritory were to give a banquet, and
had been c~ourteously invited to attend,
had no intimation that it was to be
,ther than a mere reunion of fellow
soldiers, to renew the friendships and
'ecall the incidents of the memorable
.ampaign before Santiago, in which
hey had taken so prominent a part;
md although it was vaguely hintedthat
something further might be done, l had
10 idea that the presentation of a med
u to me was on the program; and al
hough afterwards informed of what
in store for me here, am never
heless greatly at a loss as to how to ex-
,re.s myself on this occasion and show
axntting terms my appreciation of a
so flattering, knowing as
% how slight are the causes by which
ou claim to justify your action.
You are pleased to declare 1t to be in
ecognition of the value and import
nee of something / was enabled to do,

and forwarding of New Mexico's ,

equally good account of themselves ha
| the opportunity offered, for, as was re
marked by some one in my hearing nc
long ago, while speaking of the gallan
try of the Rough Riders, New Mexi
| cans are all built that way!'
And right here l wish to say that
have again and again congratulated
myself on my fortunate appointment
of officers for the troops we furnished
to the Rough Riders. The meritoriou'
conduct of each in every position as.
signed him, and your distinguished gal
lantry in the field on every opportunity
afforded you, clearly show that no bet
ter selections could have been made
Each and every one of you has more
than fulfilled my highest expectations
and / take especial pleasure in so de-
claring to you here.
And let me assure you that I am not
alone in this opinion of your military
merits and standing. / have received
letters from both General Wood and
Colonel Roosevelt, your first colonel
and observation-disclosures, who We're eye
witnesses of your behavior in the bat
ties before Santiago; and each express
ed the highest admiration of the con-
duct of every officer from this territory.
And praise from either of these distin-
guished officers is high praise indeed.
1 accept the beautiful medal which
you have here presented me, not, be-
lieve meas a memento merited by any
thing done by me officially or otherwise
during the recent war, but rather (and
what | can and ever will highly price
as a fattering token of your personal
friendship and regard.
The remainder of the toasts were
given in the following order:

jor Max Luna,
In responding to this popular toast,
Major Luna made a very acceptable ad-
dress, in the course of which he said,
with much %eloquence, that it was i'm
possible to do the toast its full Justice.
These two soldiers and patriots were
mental and moral giants, and the love
and admiration felt for them by the
speaker, he could hardly give expression
to in a manner which the occasion might
call for. This was brought out through
