THE EVENING BULLETIN.
NEW Mexico IS A LEADER.
Railroad Building Ia The United States During the First
Six Months Of 1902

The Railway Age OF Chicago In Its
issue of June ~ says:
"The railway mileage of the United
States has passed the 200, ,000-mile mark.
The figures at the close of 1901 were ap-
proxim ately ,525 miles, and the con-
struction for the first six months of 1902
brings the total up to 2O1 ,839 miles, the
track laid during the first half of this
year on 155 lines aggregating 2,314 miles.
| This is nearly 500 miles in excess of the
new mileage for the first six months of
1901, when 1,917 miles were built. The
total for the IL months last year was
5.222 miles, and If the same ratio is
maintained this year it will readily be
seen that that the construction for the
year 1902 will easily exceed 6,O00 miles.
Tracklaying thus far this year has been
distributed throughout Al states and ter
ritories, the following states reporting
no new mileage, although lines are un-
der construction in all of these with the
exception of two or three New England
states: New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware,
Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho.
'sTexas shows the largest new mileage
with 236 miles; oklahoma and the Indian
Territory are tied for second place with
211 miles each, and New Mexico is fourth
with 100 miles. Other states showing
100 miles or over are: Arkansas, 1876
miles; Georgia, 125 miles; Louisiana; 102
miles, and Illinois, 100 miles, Florida
being near the '100-mile mark with 81
miles to her credit.
"While the new mileage is widely dis
tributed, the greater portion of 1t is 10
Gated in the southwest, the five states
and territories OF Arkansas, Texas, New
Mexico, the Indian Territory and Okla
homa Territory contributing no less
than 9s4 miles. The eight states and
territories which are usually classed as
southwestern states have built 1,143
miles of new line, which Is nearly half
of the mileage for the entire country.
Other groupings are as follows: New
England States, 21 miles; Middle States,
12l miles; Central Northern States, 1876
miles; South Atlantic States, 2s7 miles;
Gulf and Mississippi Valley States, 191
| miles; Northwestern States, 1873 miles;
Pacific States, 172 miles. The states
west OF the Mississippi river have built
| l,613 miles, and states south Of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi $50 miles,
making total OF 1903 miles of new line
completed In the states south Of the
Ohio and west Of the Mississippi river.
"The work Of grading is being pushed
on several thousand miles of new lines
in various sections Of the country, and
tracklaying is just commencing or will
begin during July in many places. A
good many lines report difficulty in se-
curing rails and this is the only thing
that will prevent the completion Of 5000
miles or over Of new road during the
calendar year 1902.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND STATEHOOD.
A Few Pointed Remarks on the Statehood Question BY
the Denver Republican.

says the Denver Republicans:
| Must native citizen of this country
be familiar with the English language
| in order to enjoy all the rights ant
privileges of his citizenship and birth
This inquiry is suggested by ques.
| tion which Senator Beveridge of the
senate, committee on territories, asked
Delegate Rodey from New Mexico, dur
| ing a. session of that committee called
to consider the omnibus statehood bill
Mr.. RQdey admitted that large num-
Der of the American citizens residing
in New Mexico were not familiar with
English. He might have added that the
excellent public school system of that
territory will rapidly change this as
far as the rising generation is concern
ed. But in any event, the fact that
these people do not speak English
should not deprive them of the full
rights of citizenship. English is the
language of this country because a
vast majority of the inhabitants use it,
but it has not been declared by any
COTStllullOHdl pIoNloioH " ~ ehS oiAA
cial tongue.
These New MeXicans who do not
speak English are not foreigners. They
are natives of the United States. and a
great majority of them were born
since the territory was acquired from
Mexico. To say that New Mexico shall
be excluded from the union because a
large percentage of it's population does
not speak English would be to con-
denim the thousands of English-spe
ing Americans as well as those whose
language is Spanish, to an indefinite
period not only of territorial exist
ence.
Shall Arizona and Oklahoma, be kept
out because in New Mexico a greater
or less number of people are not fa-
miliar with English? Shall the En-
glish- speaking Americans in those ter
ritories be forced to submit to a terri
torial form of government because GER
tain senators imagine that knowledge
of English is essential to proper dis
charge of civic duties? The idea
should not be entertained for mo-
ment. An American citizen who does
not master English may nevertheless
have a full understanding of his obliga-
tions as a citizen. The old French
speaking inhabitants of New Orleans
and thousands of naturalized c1tizens
in different parts Of the union are not
deprived of their citizenship rights pc
cause they are not familiar with En-
glish.
Senator Beveridge should take into
consideration that the most eHectual
way to turn the balance in New Mexi-
co to the English-speaking side is 10
let that territory become state. Ii II
were state it's population would pe
rapidly increased through the settle
ment Of new people from the old states
Tt would then be only few years uii-
til the English speaking popuia'loi'
would be greatly in the ascendaney'
