are as markedly Mexican In
nearly every respect as when the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was
ratified.
This is the united and uIquali-
fed statement made by intelli-
gent and unbiased Americans
who have lived in New Mexico
for many years and know whereof
they speak.
1t is Of no purpose to discuss
the causes. contributing 10 these
conditions. We simply have to
recognize the fact cf un6!ness
and act accordingly.
| Il is extremely doubtful that
the strenuous advocates of the
omnibus statehood bill were sih-
cere in their support of the meas.
ure. 1t was rather their zeal
purpose to obstruct and ulti=
mately to defeat other legislation
/ to which they were heartily op-
posed. 1t was also made the
field upon which bitter contest
for senatorial leadership was
fought. Some such conditions
attach to every omnibus bill, "
hence they are regarded with sus-
picion.
It is rather unfortunate that the
constitution of the United States
does not specifically prescribe
the qualifications for statehood.
When territory desires admis
sion to the Union, congress pre-
> scribes the conditions and terms
of admission. In Our earlier
: history population enough nu-
= merous to justify the rank and
power of statehood was the chief
condition required. This was
we'll enough so long as our terri
tories drew their population from
I the states already in the Union.
: But even on this point congress
}. fixed no uniform invariable rule.
= Some territories have been ad'
q mitted because they became slave
: states; others because they would
I not be slave states. Since the
q extinction of slavery the admis
sion of new states has been de
a termined largely by consideration
q of party advantage or disadvant
y age.
l. The question of absolute ftnes
IS for statehood has been given little
l. consideration. The whole ques-

WHY SUPERIOR9

WHY SUPERIOR? |
Admiral Dewey declares that
the American Navy is more than
a match for that Of Germany be-
cause Of the superior intelligence
of our men.
The modern warship is a won
dsrtnl aggregation of mechanical
and scientific devices for working
aud lighting the ship. To the
ordinary observer these are COM
plex and intricate, and viewed IN
their entirety they doubtless are
To the trained manipulation they
are simple enough. He has mas
tered their construction, compre-
hends their purpose and has a
correct conception of the relation
each device bears to each and to
aIlthe others. He knows just how
and when each device must be
used to be most helpful in Fro
ducing a certain resultant which
will lead up to final victory.
He requires NO officer to tell
him these things. He is intelli-
gent and self-reliant.
OF course a ship so manned
will, man for man and gun for
gun, conquer an adversary whose
men are less intelligent less self
reliant.
It is this superior intelligence
and self-reliance of 'the men be-
hind the guns" which wins vic
tories whether On land or at sea-
Gen. Taylor said that by all the
rules Of war he was whipped three
several times during the battle O
Buena Vista. His men were in
telligent self-reliant volunteers
They intelligently and promptly
nulli6ed the advantage gained
by the enemy and won com
plete victory over four times thei.
number of less intelligent au'
sel1-reliant men.
The first two days fighting il
the Wilderness under Grant AM
Meade in 1864 was almost who'll,
by regiments and companies un
der their own Immediate officer
and in some instances with
out commissioned officers. w
recall one instance of a lieuten
ant in command of the extrem
right company of'a regiment re
fusing to meet a flank attack
also of a sergeant, when th
casualties of the battle had place
in command of a company de
ploying his company to the rigt
and advancing as skirmishers i
order to cover a dangerous inte1
val which the enemy had nearl
found. In both these instance
the movement was right an
promptly and skillfully execute
and was effective. In each case
however, the tactics taught ths
the order for the movemer
should have emanated from th
regimental commander. 1t is
safe conclusion that none but a
American subaltern would hav
seen the emergency and assume
responsibility of meeting it.
It is frequently asked why th
American soldier is so markell
self-reliant above all others. Th
reason is that our social, religiou
and political life produces re
sourceful, self-reliant men. The
are products of republican insti
tutions. If it were not so ou
sailors and soldiers would nc
possess these qualities beyon
those of Germany.
So long as we preserve trul
democratic national life and in
culcate individual responsibilit
and keep the doors of succe:
open to individual endeavor an
merit our navy and our army wi
be invincible.

church and the state, we do hereby
issue call for the good citizens of
Ionia county to meet at the Baptist

time, March 10. 1903, to organize the

lines.
The purpose of this organization
may be stated as follows:

ment in the county.
,. To provide for regular and sys-
tematic temperance work in the

3. To influence the nomination and
election of men who will enforce the
law.
third of the voters of the county to
the Supervisors asking them to sub
NIT the question, "Shall the manu-
facture and the liquor traffic be pro-
hibited in the county of Ionia."
While temperance men sleep, sa
looms riot. We must awake aud or
ganize and build sentiment and be all
at il and always at it till we win.
Strong speakers will be present to
address both morning and afternoon
sessions. 1t is earnestly desired that
all friends of temperance, irrespec-
tive of party or denomination,
throughout the county, consider them
selves delegates to this convention.
1t is expected that every minister
in Ionia county will see that strong
delegation of solid men and women
are appointed to attend this conven-
ton. Ministers are ex-officio mem
bers of the convention. All are ex-
pected TO be there. Let temperance
business men understand that funer-
ais, fires and Anti-Saloon conventions

closed, for day in order to do it. The
ladies will furnish warm dinner at
the church.
This call is being signed by hun
dreds of prominent voters in the

marks Nothing which could have
been done for the comfort and pleas
ure of Belongs guests on this occa-
sion was left undone, and no money
was spared to make the event just
what was promised in advance-the
most successful meeting in the clubs

proud on that occasion. and if she
could hear the compliments which
have been heaped upon her she would
have considered herself amply repaid
for all the trouble and expense she
had been to in entertaining such a

The High School have been very
successful in the disposal of tickets
for the Peet Brothers entertainment
at the Opera House Monday, Feb 8,
already good house is assured, which
only goes to show that the people of
Bedding are eager, both to patronize
company of real merit and to assist
the students in their earnest struggle
TO pay the balance of the debt on the
piano, which has been almost entirely
paid for by their diligent efforts.
This company appears tomorrow
evening in Greenville where they
played last season to crowded house
and today enough tickets have been
sold to fill the s. r. o. point for to-
morrow nights entertainment there.
These calls for numerous return
dates should prove to the satisfaction
of everybody that this company of
musical merit, it is seldom equalled
and a cause deserving the liberal
patronage of all. Tickets on sale by
High school students and few good
reserved seats are left which may be
procured at Hotel Bedding,

ranged fIom DC. to l0c., probably the
most averaging from Sc. to 10c. The
cost of residence lighting during the

Furthermore, it is believed more resi-
dences can be lighted and the revenue
increased, which will certainly be of
service in paying the municipal debt
