Ffhe American Protective
Tariff League.



This grand organisation, located
ihNsw York City, which during |
the last fifteen years hes done 20
much TO bring about . prosperous
condition OF American msnufac-
lures generally, bee. ct it, recent
annual meeting in New York, re-
affirmed the position taken by the1
League . year ago in regard to the
doctrine OF reciprocity, which has
been 90 urgently advocated BY
those willing to adopt this perni-
cioos doctrine, 20 long ~ they
themselves we're not injured by it.
At the recent meeting the Tariff
League adopted an address to the
Protectionists of the United States.
which included the following par
sgrsphs:
Reciprocity in competitive pro-
ducts is unsound in principle, per-
nicious in practice and condemned
BY experience. 1t 10 contrary
alike to the national policy Of pro-
lection. to the fair treatment Of
domestic producers, and to friend
y relations with foreign countries.
ut 10 neither ethical nor econo-
mic, since it seeks to benefit some.
industries BY the sacrifice Of 9TH
ers. Reciprocity in competitive
products 10 the policy OF hvori-
tism. It tends to array industry
against industry, section against
section, ct home, and to fomeut
commercial retaliation and politi-
cal antagoism abroad. True Amer
lean policy 10 protection Of ell The
opportunities and possibilities of
the American market for Ameri-
can enterprises; and fair. equal
trade treatment f6r all other couh-
tries"
As the United States now do an

Of dollars, It seems absurd to peril.

GOOD ROADS.


1xD0o-O0Doo90S
At the lust session Of Congress |
. bill vas introduced BY Mr.. |
Browulow Of Tennessee, making . |
liberal appropriation 10 assist the |
State in the construction OF better |
roads. The bill had strong sep
port from ell parts Of the country,
add bht for the rush Of business
during the last days Of the session
it would probably have passed. It
has been rsintroddced at the pre-
sent session, carrying an appro-
pristion Of $4,000. 900. and 10
again being pushed, with every
chance OF success, unless the Rep
ublicsn majority in Congress be-
comes infected with the craze OF
economy in order to help Mr.. Boo
sevelt in bis presidential ambition.
The splendid results coming from
good roads are appreciated, and
the objection Of the Federal gov
ernment in the matter in folly re-
cognised. II has set aside Q small
sum each year to be used in q pro-
psganda, to demonstrate the value,
from . financial point OF view, Of
better roads, to give the people
practical lessons in road building
and to assist in holding conven-
tions to discuss the subject.
A number of these conventions
have been hsld-one met in New
Orleans . short time ago, it will
Do remembered-and the field has
been we'll worked up. The Brown
low bill proposes to 60 . step fur

Of better roads, - there can be no
surer or more practical demonstrs-
ton Of the vsahe Of good roads
than the actual construction Of
several thousand miles of them.

from . paper argument Of the
question. It l., Of course. not pro-
posed that the Federal government
should construct ell the roads in
this country, bat it 10 hoped BY
assisting in the work 10 encourage
more Of it. New Jersey has &C.
complished much in this line by
the State agreeing to assist any
county constructing new highways.
and the public interest has been
aroused. Federal assistance will
have the same effect, for once the
people eco and become sccastom..
ed to good roads they will demand
them on all the main lines of tran
sportstion. It 10 not forgotten
that the Federal government by
similar assistance encouraged the
building Of the steam railways
which hsve done % much to get

and has ended his political career by
furnishing a horrible example to
young men who would go into poll
tics as a Of profit. He has
been Of no assistance to. the rail-
roads that elected him, because he
could not be trusted with any impors
tant work, and his connection with
even a worthy minor measure sub
jected it to suspicion. He was al
ways being searched for the goods
HE has no philosophy of life, no
horizon beyond Office brokerage.
when he retires from the senate
he will give up the ambition of a
lifetime and a great opportunity ut
terly frittered away.
"He will go out of Office poor in
worldly goods and still poorer in
friends, and robbed of his good name,
the only capital a man can have who
begins life anew on the shady side
of the hill.
yet by the miserable tragedy of
his fall he has written for the whole
nation an object lesson in the profit
ableness of decency and of the simple
life, with it's simple, homely rules of
honesty and it's plain, wholesome
joys.
Providence economies in her
warnings. She ruins few men utter
ly, but when she does break a man
and the collapse terrible.
This haggard, ~nerveless man who
sat listening to the lawyers harangue
the jury with his face in his hands.
the human pendulum that swung up
and down the long corridors of the
criminal court in st. Louis, speaking
to no one, with blazing, terror strick-
en- eyes,, waiting the clock around for
the jury to come in, that man should
be pointed out to the young men of
America as the most tragic figure of
his day-the man who went wrong.
There is something big and his
trionic in the calm way in which
Providence smiled as she took this
man up to a high place, only to cast
him down and crush him by the in
evitable fall"

JOINT

Yesterday afternoon the House
Committee on Territories reported ia.
vorably the bill that has been under
consideration granting statehood to
Oklahoma and Indian Territory under
the name of Oklahoma. and to New
Mexico and Arizona under the name
of Arizona. Although reserving the
right to present a minority report,
the Democratic members of the Com.
mittee concur in all the principal fea-
lures of the bill. Quay of Pennsyl.
vania, the friend of New Mexico.
and Beveridge, her most beloved en-
envy, have in advance promised their
support of the bill. An early ad-
journment of congress is the only
thing standing in the way of its pas
sage.
The action of the house committee
yesterday afternoon makes n far.
Their talk of separate statehood for
New Mexico mere waste of breath,
Whatever may have been said in its
behalf, whatever arguments may
have been urged for it, are of the
past. Single statehood is now as
dead as an Egyptian mummy. Like
the when alive. it was an
issue full of sentiment, it had its
friends, but this action of the house
committee has relegated it to the
bone-yard, to political petriication.
The recent logic of events has de-
creed to the people of New Mexico
Joint statehood, or to remain in their
present Territorial condition. Hence
forward the man or the paper or the
party thai talks Vi separate StdLc-
hood is but throwing dust in your
eye. Congress says it is to be joint
statehood or none. Which will you
take? THE RECORD has no hest
fancy in supporting the former.
The Territorial government we have.
1t is a reality. 1t is undesirable.
Separate statehood is now an impos-
sibility. It is unattainable, therefore.
useless to champion farther. Joint
statehood is not only a possibility
but a very strong probability. IN
der these conditions the people of
New Mexico, and in the final round
up the people Of Arizona, will accept
the invitation which the congress of
the United States will extend to join
the sisterhood of states.

J. A. GILMORE.

In this issue appears the announce
ment of J. A. Gilmore for the Office
of Treasurer and ex-oficio collector.
Mr.. Gilmore is so well known and
well liked by the people of Chaves
county that it would be useless to
enter into any extended biography Of
the man. He was born in Upshur
county, Texas. but was reared in the
western part of the state. He came
to New Mexico when this was yet
Lincoln county and located here In
Roswell just about seventeen years
ago. During all this time MI. Gilmore
has taken an active interest in poll.
tics and has always been n of the
wheel horses of Democracy. There
is not a better campaigner in the
county than Mr.. Gilmore. He doesn't
go about with a brass band attach
ment, but when election day comes
and noses are counted, there will be
found but a very few men in the en-
tire county that Mr.. Gilmore has not
had a quiet little talk with. and won
their support. In addition to his &C.
ognized ability as a campaigner, Mr..
Gilmore is also able to fill the Office
to the entire satisfaction of his con-
stituents after he is elected. Careful.
exact and painstaking in all his Office
work, courteous and obliging to all
with whom he comes in contact, this
is the secret of Jim Gilmore's sue
cess in politics. Neither is he a stran
ger to the office he now seeks. Eight
years ago he was elected to this Of
fee ard filled it for two terms. and
for the past four years he has been
in the Office with the present Treas
urer, Mark Howell. No n is better |
acquainted with the Office and its
manifold duties than Mr.. Gilmore.
and # elected Chaves county will

the office is t continue in good and
hands.
