The Vice-PreSidency.

The vice presidency is not the unim-
make it appear to be. Especially, with
a nan like Theodore Roosevelt as vice
president, it will assume a dignity and
an Importance against which the gov
n%ificant. Theodore Roosevelt is not a
mar to be dragged into oblivion by his
election to the vice presidential chair.
AS presiding officer Of the senate he
and as a confidential adviser of the
president he will exert a pronounced in
luence. In his intercourse with the dip
lomatic corps, with Legislators and with
will be prominent, for he is not a man
to be eliminated by the election to any
office. Four times in the brief history of
the American people vice presidents
have been called to fill the presidential
chair. Beyond any doubt the founders
of the republic intended that the vice
president should always be a man of
full presidential stature. 1t oc-
to them that the time would
when anybody would be shallow
enough to speak of dragging a man into
oblivion by nominating him for vice
president. There is only office with
in the gift of the American people that
is more important than the vice presi-
dency, and that is the presidency. All
other public offices dwindle into insig-
.nifcance when compared with these
two great offices of this magnificent re-

tablished: in 1929 the vast extension Of
our mail system made it proper that
the postmaster general should become a
cabinet officer. 1t was not until 1S49
after the acquisition of Texas and
northern Mexico, with a national do
main more than doubled from it's orig
inal area, that what is now by far the
most extensive of all the departments,
that of the interior, was established;
and it is within the memory Of all of
us when the most widespread industry
of the country, after long years of
waiting, obtained proper recognition by
the formation of the department of ag-
riculture in 1889.
The latter case is almost exactly an
alogous to the one which we now pre-
sent. No one is ignorant of the immense
advantage which has accrued from the
establishment of the department of ag-
riculture, by the Introduction of new
plants from foreign lands, the exhaust
i've experiments with regard to soil and
fertilizers, the organized effort to OBJ
tain relief from insect pests, and in a
thousand Ways which have tended to
increase both the quantity and the
quality of the products of the field and
the orchard: and no one would now
think for a moment of abrogating that
department. Yet, as will presently be
shown, the benefit to be derived from a
department of mining will even exceed
that of agriculture in it's extent.
The increase in the Importance of the
industry in this country Is real
ly phenomenal. Many Of those here
present a remember when our only
gold mines were those of North Carroll
and Georgia, and the mint marks Of
the eagles and half eagles of that day
us that the coinage was at
Charlotte and D%ahlonega. OF silver
there was none. The first coal mine
opened was in Rhode Island, but the
product was so hard as to be almost in
combustible; and while the mines of
Pennsylvania soon after supplied both
coal and iron, yet 1t was long years be-
tore copper was brought from the

Our National Committee Member.

The choice of Hon. Solomon Lima to
serve again from New Mexico as a
member of the Republican national
committee is an honor well merited. Mr..
Luna knows the needs and the desires
of the people Of New Mexico as very
few other men know them, and yet his
views extend beyond the horizon of
home affairs, and his counsel receives
the close attention of his fellow-mem-
bers of the committee which will this
veal formulate the plans that will re-
suit in the election Of the Mckinley
Roosevelt ticket by a majority that will
stand unparalleled since the days of
Madison. Mr.. Luna can and will do
much for the interests of not only the
Republican party at large in the coun-
try, but also for the people of New
Mexico, and his influence upon Repub-
lican leaders will eventually count
strong for giving statehood to New
Mexico. In Mr.. Luna the territory has
a representative in the national COM
mittee of whom 1t can well be proud.

An ~lnvincible Ticket.

Mckinley and Roosevelt. Where is
the party that can nominate a stronger
ticket? Where are the men, ever in the
Republican party, hat would have
made more invincible candidates? Nc
Kinley, who for nigh four years has
guided the ship of state through the
tempests of war, the triumphs of peace,
under whose direction the nation has
attained its greatest glory, it's greatest
prosperity; whose administration is al
ready passing into history as the great
est epoch in American history. A mar
above reproach; a man who. like Abra-
ham Lincoln, squarely met the issues of
the day and gave the nation a new and
greater birth than it's fathers ever con-
ceived. Mckinley's honor will not grow
less with years. AS the decades pass
the glory of his administration will in
crease, it will be called the greatest of
the waning century, greatest not only
as far as America is concerned. but
sanship is too bitter still. the vents of
the past four years are too neal to APP
pear in their full magnitude, but al
ready glimpses of the greatness of the
events that have just TRANSFERRED, of the
greatness of the nation and the greater
greatness of its future are apparent.
and with all this greatness the name
of President Mckinley is inseparably
connected for all time to come. Surely,
he will be reelected to complete this
work hat he has begun, to see as the
leader of the nation the first fruits OF
a reign of four years of stress and
anxiety glorious in it's victories of wal
as well as it's achievements in peace.

makes a worthy second man upon {
ticket headed by President Mckinley
a man who can take up the york of the
president if needs be and carry it on as
strongly and as wisely as it is carried
on to-day.
With such a ticket victory is assured
in November. The American people car
not be so false to their w interests as
to defeat the two men who are greatest
in public life to-day, who are best fitted
to finish the work that was begun in
the past four years. 1t would be a ca
lamity indeed if these two men were tC
be defeated. But that is improbable
nay. impossible. for every man who
loves his country and gives the issues
and the candidates due thought cannot
do otherwise than vote for Mckinley
and Roosevelt!

No matter what platforms may say

Is the issue upon which the fall cam
paign will be fought. 1t is a question
whether this country shall go forward

spite violent opposition, whenever the

whether the nation is. ready to stop
