The DeFuniak Breeze
Gives Business Mems Banquet.

The Journal is in receipt Of the fol.
lowing invitation:
THE BREEZE
Cordially invites you to be present at
its annual
BUSINESS MEMS BANQUET,
at the
BROWN HOUSE,
DeFuniak Springs, Florida, Tuesday,
Feb. Is, 1906, at Eight O'clock.
R. S. V. P.
The Journal regrets that it cannot
I be present on the occasion at which
its contemporary is to be host, but
the invitation nevertheless affords it
] an opportunity to say a word or two
on the value Of a live newspaper to
live community, such as the Breeze
is to DeFuniak.
The two are inseparable and one
is the logical corollory of the other.
Without DeFuniak Of course the
Breeze could not exist-at least not
in that location-but without the
Breeze, or some other live news,
paper, DeFuniak would be far from
being a live town. Probably no one
knows how much Editor r. w.
StoTrs and his paper have done for
the ChautaUQua city and it would Of
course be impossible to make
definite calculation of the result of
the work that has been accomplished
for the town by means of the paper,
but we do know that DeFuniak is one
Of the very neatsst, cleanest, most
prosperous towns in the state of
Florida. This fact, taken in connec-
ton with the appearance and condl-
ton of some other towns where no
such a paper exists. is a pretty con-
elusive argument as to what a good
newspaper can and does accomplish
for any place.
: The Journal feels sure that the
Business Mems Banquet which the
Breeze Is TO give Tuesday night will
prove not only an enjoyable> Occa-
sion but an affair which will cement
in a more perfect unison of object
the leading business interests of the
little Chautauqua city.

PROBLEM.

Commenting on the statehood bill
which became a law Saturday last
by the attaching of the Presidents
signature. the Denver Republican
says:
While New Mexico and Arizona
may each be entitled to statehood on
it's own account, the two united would
be able to maintain so much more
efficient a government that their un-
ion should be sought by all means.
The opposition which has been de
yeloped in Arizona seems to be
prompted in a large degree by poll
ticians whose ambition for state and
national honors will not brook divi-
sion of sucn distinctions with politi-
clans in New Mexico. Better, accord

ing to their view, 10 select two gov
ernors and other state officials rather
than one of each, and better -four
United States senators than only two.
They seem to have induced a large
percentage of the people to accept
these views, but whether their infiu-
nee has gone far enough to prevent
a majority vote in favor of union with
New Mexico is an open question. We
are confident, however, that if the
two territories are united as one state
they will never thereafter seek sepa-
ration. They will SO grow into each
other that their interests will become
identical and the people will be
proud of the greatness and consequent
glory of the new commonwealth.
The vote on this question will be
held in November next, and at the
same time territorial officers will be
chosen, so nat if union with New
Mexico is rejected the old territorial
form of government will continue
without interruption. The people may
count on it that in that event the
territorial condition will be greatly
prolonged. In fact, it will not be sur
prising if many years elapse before
either New exic or Arizona is ad-
mitted."

COMMITTEE ACTION REPUDIATED
From ArteSia Advocate.

The action of the Eddy county Dem
o~cratic convention last Saturday in
condemning the action of its execu-
tive committee for it's recent refusal
TO let M~eXicans vote in the primary,
is doubtless endorsed by every liber-
al minded voter in the county. Eddy
county Democracy has been severely
the entire Territory for the summary
way in which the native voters were
thrown out of he primary, and it is
meet and proper hat the party in
convention assembled should express
its regret that the mistake was made.
The editor of the Advocate was a
member of the Democratic executive
committee and present at the time
such action was taken, and it is a
well known fact hat he opposed with
all his strength the motion to exclude
the native voters. He did not think
it either Justice or wisdom to do so.
The motion was carried by "a vote of
four TO three, and since it became
Democratic action, this paper has ia
ken occasion to defend the action the
best it could. Until such order was
rescfnded. we did not think it with
in our province to criticise party ac-
ton. Now that the mistake Gas mis-
take it surely was) has been righted
the Advocate desires to express its
qualification. The convention did ex-
actly the right thing in setting Ed
dy county Democracy right before its
friends throughout the Territory, and
we trust they will appreciate the fact
that the committee's action was but
the expression of -four individuals,
and could not bind the party any
longer than an opportunity was Civ
en- to repudiate it.
