many Oh UHe pOllGlcdl di1u
} part OF the press OF New Mex
co, loud advocates ofhome rule,
and in this very instance of the
udgeship are trying to secure
the place for a man who has no
more claim on it than a man
rom Missouri or Michigan. And
the result will quite likely be that
we will get a man from one OF
these states rather than a home
man. The position OF the big
eastern dailies shows that the
general sentiment is in favor of
us to name our own
Judges, but the authorities have
been informed of the utter incon-
sistency of the position of our
leaders and the people of the
district may be made to
the consequences. Or if a
man from some other district
should be appointed in response
to the endorsement from the ter
ritory, our recreance to principle
may cost us dear in the future.
BY all the tenets of American
liberty and fair play, the
Fifth district has a right to
her own Judge. That opposition
should come from far away east
erners is not SO surprising, but
that the territory should at
tempt to deny the simple justice
to one of her districts for which
she has so loudly clamored is
outrageous.-Optic.
Delegate Rodey is right when
he declares it is his intention to
antagonize the appointment OF
any outsider to the judgeship OF
the Fifth district of New Mexico.
He would be strictly all right il
he would endorse a resident OF
that Obstruction the place. Such
an action on tue part of our
representative in congress would
go far to show that he was work
ing for home rule in New Mexico
along proper lines. This is pri-
marily the affair of the Fifth dis
trict. If there were no attor-
neys in the district competent to
assume and able to discharge
the duties of a Judge to the emf.
ent satisfaction of their constit.
uency, 'twould be a different
matter, but such is not the case.
The lawyers of the district are
the equal of any in the territory.
The Judge of the Fifth district
should come from the Fifth dis
trict. Judge Freeman does not
want the position and the en-
dorsement OF the district and a
great portion of the territor,
has gone to w. G. Reid OF Ros-
well. With these facts in view it
seems that, if the wishes of the
people to be affected by the ap-
pointment are to cut any ice in
the matter at all, there is but
one man in the field who can be
looked upon as qualified for and
entitled to recog,i ion in this
affair. That man is William G.
Reid.-Las Cruces Progress.
"We are inclined to the opin-
u
ion that Judge Smith became
convinced, after making a tour
of the territory, that the senti-
ment against the appointment
of a nonresident to the best iu-
dicial position in the territory
was so strong that he would
have difficulty in overcoming it
and establishing himself firmly
in the good graces of the people.
The right OF home rule is one. OF
the insistent demands of the peo-
pie of all the territories. They
want statehood at all times, but
