Bro. Billingslea, Cham pion of Woodruff co.
 Citizenship.

This martyr of the peoole' s ev- cry interest wrote that he did not wish to fill his columns with dead matters. He desires to give his readers something of inter est. If there is one thing of more interest than another to the citi- zenship of this county, it is the Four Wire Fence Law. If this hero were to ask his readers as to their desires, he would be sur prised at the unanimous demand for something on this line. But with this Four Wire Fence pro- position staring him in the face, he has the gall to say, it is of too small nature for him to fool with. All he says is. he signed petition against it. This is the Lion in the peoples cause.
 Because we take a stand and give our honest convictions, he has denOmlnated us as a ? K 4 ed itor of the weekly disappoint- ment. We rather be a freeman than mealy mouthed hypocrit. A man, who calls the Fence Law uninteresting to the citizen, can with the same propriety call the moon a Green Cheese and picture the man in the moon as an old Maid from Africa.
 You seem to be surprised that we spring the no conviction rack ct on you and yet t is your own adnission. Bro. lingslea take d stand today and not years ago. Put a few pounds of alum or starch in your makeup. Be a man even if you have to lean on your fence.
 We will admit for argument sake that we are d 2x4 editor of a weekly disappointment, but what has the Free Press, that Mighty, Matchless War Vessel of many victorious naval encoun- ter, said or done for the people i'll regard to the Fence Law? It is better to be an active, emerge tic Weekly Disappointment than an inactive, flannel mouthed

Billingslea pictured himself; be void of con vlctlons and be too cowardly to give my sentiments for fear some land ford might withdraw his dollar a year support.
 This is simply another case of David and Goliah. Goliah has al ready announced the flag of truce due no doubt to the effective use of the argumentatiye sling and pebbles at the hands of the 2x4 David.
 This Goliah asks us if we ever attended to our our own business and in reply will say, a newsman must necessarily say something about other people. Our life has not been so diversified as that of Bro. Billingslea. But even he attends to others in locals and adds. This is part of the news paper business to keep the peo- pie in touch with all matters that concern them.

PLEA FOR STATEHOOD.
Governor of New Mexico Gives Rea-
sons Why Territory Should BE
Made n State of the Union,

Washington, Nov. ,28.-The annual
report of Gov. Otero, of New Mexico,
makes a plea for the admission of the
territory to statehood. The report says
that during the past year the building
of railroads continued with undated
vigcr, and capital made extensive i4r=
vestments. The finances of the terri
tory are in excellent condition, and so
are those of the counties and cities,
with a few exceptions caused by loose
methods many years ago, and the re-
suits of which methods the coun-
ties affected are making every
effort to overcome. The terri
tory, as. we'll as most of the coun-
ties, is reducing it's Indebtedness. while
several counties are refundihg their
Indebtedness at a low rate of interest.
The assessed valuation of New Mexico
shows an increase of about 81, 000, 900
over that of the preceding year, but as
the average assessment rate is only
about 20 per cent. of the real value, the
actual increase of taxable valuation,
owing to the elimination of double as
sessments in former years, is almost
So, 1000, 900.
