THE PRESIDENT AND NEW MEXICO

THE PRESIDENT AND NEW MEXICO.
There is more than a suspicion of poll
tics in the speech reported as having
been delivered by the president at Ell
Paso, Tex. His reference to imperialism
was utterly uncalled for by the occasion
or by any of the attending circumstances,
and was in decidedly bad taste, so far as
may be judged at this distance.
No citizen hut would be CHAD and will be
glad to see the warmest testimonials of
personal regard bestowed on the presi-
dent during his trip. He appears in his
present tour as the representative of the
high office he holds. rather than as the
Republican politician. He is not making
a series of stump orations, and his
party's interests can well be ignored until
his return
The people Of New Mexico are as little
interested in Mr. McKinley's political
views just at this time as are those of
the other sections Of the country. What
they are profoundly interested in is the
prospect which exists Of the adm .ssion
of their territory into the Union as
state. That is in all probability the only
direction in which they may he said to
care anything whatever for the views
Of the president at this time en- any
question of public interest, including
imperialism
1t would not lie difficult for those who
are receiving the president in Mexico to
show him that it is to his party that they
owe their prolonged exclusion CT the ter
ritory from statehood. Whether that
party is ehargcable with imperialistic
tendencies in its policies-as the president
takes so much rams to assure the people
OF I'll Easo it is not-cuts no figure just
now. If the president thinks it neces-

sary. as he did on the last occasion when
he sought the hospitality of certain Sec
tons while supposed to be ON personal
tour, to talk politics, this is subject
which he might take up with some adj
vantage
New Mexico ought long since to have
been admitted to statehood. 1t would,
too, have been admitted long ago were
it not for the political consequences fore
seen by Republican politicians. Today
there can be no such consideration ami
mating the minds of politicians Of any
party. The admission of New Mexico
VIII not affect the political situation in
the slightest degree. The territory is the
first section of the United States which
was settled by white population, and
while it's progress has not been as great
as many others, it is recognized as hav-
ing fulfilled long ago the constitutional
requirements to admission to statehood
If the admission of New Mexico to
statehood should prove to be among the
results Of the presidents trip to the
Southwest, there will be but little dis,
position to dwell on mis- temporary APP
pearance in the character of the party
politician which he made in his EI Paso
speech.

that is found necessary in that tropical
climate. Cen Macarthur says also that
Manila can challenge comparison as to
it's moral and orderly condition with any
city in the United States. The general

the government at Manila be sent to that

Coroner Will Investigate the Death
of u Colored Woman

An inquest will be held this morning
at II o'clock at the New Jersey Avenue
police station to determine the manner
in which Annie Brown, colOred, met her
death and to place the responsibility. BY
order of the coroner Lawrence Norman. an
acquaintance of the dead wonssn, is lock-

await the action of the Coroner's jury in

about the affair. All Of the parties are

about 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning. 1t

Norman lives at lI2i Thirtieth Street

BUFFALO, Sept 3-Samuel Com

Temple of Music yesterday, following the
big Labor Day parade. Mr.. Gompers said
in part:
"A few words about strikes. The trades
union movement of America does not
have strikes for the purpose of indulging
In the pastime or for the purpose of
harassing employers. I'll grant that the
men in labor movements sometimes make
mistakes as well as men engaged else
where. Thus far we have not claimed to
be angels or to be perfect. Labor is or
ganized to secure justice, but without
strikes.
I'VE have learned with bitter experience
that the better prepared 10 strike we are
the less occasion we have to strike Or
ganization means the prevention OF
strikes, or rather the diminution of the
number Of strikes. and. what is of more
consequence. diminution Of the bitter
feeling which enters into and is caused
by strikes.

the employer for what We deem 1t to be
worth We claim the right 10 withhold

itself. and to know this IL something
which many of our friends in the labor
world would do well to strive TO learn.
I'VE hear a great deal about compul-

for mediation and firmly for arbitration,
but IL is irreyocabiy opposed to anything
that stands for compulsory arbitration.
with the arbitrary enforcement of 1t by
the State. My friends, we believe that
to force the employer to pay more than

worker TO labor for what he believes to be
wrong, for less than he gets for his labor
elsewhere, for less than he ought to have
