little hope OF accomplishing the desir-

1t would be great thing for west
Texas if 1t could be joined to southern
New Mexico in new state, and il
would be spendid thing for all the
counties of southern New Mexico IL
new state could be formed with
capital in a section of the state that
could be easily reached. Some eight
or ten years ago the Liberal advocat-
ed the formation of this new state, but
at that lime the moss backs of El Paso
would not hear of cutting off from the
rest of the state. but experience has
taught them wisdom, and they have
got tired of being the extreme end of
the tail of Texas's kite, and are get
ting quite anxious to have the Libe-
rals original plan adopted.
