Is This True?

A Kansas Republican newspa-
per makes this statement, which
is startling if true:
Every time President Roose-
welt whacSs his big stick down
in a rotten place In the public
service, out pops a United States
senator. "
Having made his broad state
ment he goes into details:
When the buzzards begin to
circle around a yellow spot in the
financial world, and an investiga-
ton is started to find out what's
dead, out pops a United States
senator. Every time a stock
holder Of a moneyed concern who
believes he is being robbed by
his fellow grafters kicks the top
off the graft, out pops a United
States senator. The first shot
out of the box in the Equitable
Life exposure was a United
States senator. The first whack
Of the big stick on the land graft
ers in Oregon exposed a United
States senator. The explosion
of small bomb under a St.
Louis get-rich-quick graft nailed
a United States senator.

Reed Smoot has served about
one half his term of office in the
United States Senate, and the
determination to GUST him from
his seat in that body by the peo-
pie of this country seems strong
er than ever. Petitions signed
by more than one million Amer
lean women, praying that he be
expelled from the senate, will be
presented to that body imme-
diatelv after the committee of
privileges and elections makes
its report on the Smoot case.
Thousands of similar petitions
from churches, religious organ.
izations,a land citizens have already
been received. The petitions OBJ
tanned through women's organ
izations have been bound and are
now embraced in twenty-eight
large volumes.
Senators who favor the unseat-
ing Of Mr.. Smoot, hold that the
oaths indicate clearly the church,
domination of its apostles, and
taken with the protection of po-
lygamy by the church, deem it
sufficient warrant for declaration
that no Mormon apostle should
hold seat in the United States
senate. -'

Why New Mexico is Thankful.

In the December number of
THE Earth" Col. Max Frost
tells the World and the rest of
Mankind" what New Mexico is
thankful for:
Advancement since the census
of 1900 and especially in 1905 has
been great, particularly in a
moral direction. Crime has been
punished; there has been less
than ever. Churches and COM
municarts have increased in sat
isfactory numbers. Sunday OBJ
servance laws are strictly carried
out and strong sentiment against
public gambling has been aroused.
The people have enjoyed a
clean and honest administration
of territorial and county affairs;
New Mexico's debt has been re-
duced by 100000. County f.
nances are in better condition.
Administration of justice is eff
fective and energetic.
The Sunshine Territory has in
creased in population from about
100000 in 1900 to about 100000
now; manufactured products have
gained nearly 60 per cent. since
1900. There are more banks,
national and private, more bust
ness firms, more manufacturing
establishments, and they are on
the increase. The production of
precious and base metals shows
an increase, and the coal, iron
ore, and zinc ore outputs are the
greatest ever known. Zinc ore,
of which not a ton was produced
in 1901, this year shows value
of 100000.
The acreage under irrigation
and cultivation is larger and
steadily gaining. In addition to
its own uses, the Territory ex-
ported 10000, 900 pounds of fruit.
The Importation of grain, hay
and flour has decreased, the Ter
ritory producing more of these
necessities right along.
The sheep owners had an in
crease of 95 per cent. in lambs.
They have sold about 100000
wethers and lambs averaging
about 81. Is per head, and "a, 000,-
600 pounds of wool at about q
cents, in addition to several hun
dred thousand pounds of mohair
at IS cents; they have shipped
more sheep and goats now than
they had last spring. About
100000 head of cattle averaging
SIG per head have been shipped
out, and several thousand horses
have been sold.
The educational system is i'm
proving and the number of per-
sons of school age is greatly in
excess of previous years.
Several hundred miles of new
railroads are in active construc-
ton and thousands of men are
employed at good wages. The
Eastern Railway of New Mexico,
a part of the Santa Fe System, is
building a line 300 miles long and
employing 5000 men and many
teams.
Bank deposits are heavy and
exceed greatly all loans and dis
counts.
Separate statehood for New
Mexico is asked by the people;
and while this may not come in
1906, they hope and believe it
will be attained in 1908.
The growth and progress in
