COLLIER ON STATEHOOD.

Golfers Weekly.
Granting that we need d second

phrase of SC changed a meaning that
II forms no excuse for making up
the senate In a manner Uneven. The
composition OF the second chamber
was a device to protect the smaller
states. Nobody could maintain that
they need protection now, and jus.
tice. according 10 their size and popu.
lation, they would have under a
more even representation. The pro.
posal to make Arizona and New

NEW MEXICO.

The Optic BY request publishes the
following poem:
/ love that land to brilliant cline,
As bright as mortals ever know,
With lovely wales and hills sublime,
The land Of bright New Mexico.
/ love the valleys deep and green.
Where crystal waters laughing flow
In Wild romance the hills between.
The valleys Of New Mexico.
I love the prairies broad and free.
Where the elk and deer unfettered
60,
With tranquil brook and lonely tree,
The prairies Of New Mexico
| love the peaks beyond the cloud
That gllstens with perennial snow.
The glorious SUBMITS Of the proud
Sierras Of New Mexico.
love the hues that gid the West,
AL evening, with supernal glow,
And crown the hills with dazzling
crest. gag
The sunset Of New Mexico.uoA
Lbs
| love the soft, mellifuent tongue,
That from the Inns doth, sWeetly
flow,
Like strains from harp and timbrel
sung,
The language Of New Mexico.
I love the silence deep and grand,
That reigns around, above, below,
From mountain top to river strand,
The silence Of New Mexico.
I love the skies so fair and bright,
That DER the earth their radiance
throw,
Serene by day, SO grand at night,
The skies OF fair New Mexico.
Oh, | would haste, would haste
away,
More swiftly than the light can 60.
And there forever fondly stay.
In the hills Of far New Mexico.
Oh, yes, beneath thar gentle sky,
Where q and stars 50 softly
glow,
There | would Hive theFeI would die,
On the wIfds Of dear New Mexico.
Then bury me- ~ the mountains high,
Through whose deep wales bright

Whose SUBMITS pierce the deep blue
