So we find Jesus the guest of ST.

have been offended al the patronizing

Galilean Rabbi, and He ought to be
glad to be bidden at all--such was the
cavalier spirit of the place and hour
A smaller nature must needs have re-

afford to ignore it until time came to
feather His arrow with it.

FLAG DAY.
To Be Observed at the New Mexico
Military Institute.

According to the provisions of a
law passed by the last Territorial
legislature, February 18th, Lincoln's
birthday, is to be known and observ-
ed by the schools OF New Mexico as
Flag Day. It was not intended
that the day should be considered a
holiday, or that regular school du-
ties should be suspended or interior
ed with. 1t is simply a day to pay
some special tribute to the Stars and
Stripes, our Nations emblem; it is
a day to impress on the students
mind the reverence all loyal citizens
feel for the emblem, which means
protection to the weak and submits
sion to the strong.
The cadets of the New Mexico Mil
itary Institute. while lot real sol
diers enlisted in the Nations army,
are brim-ful1 of patriotism and as 10y
al as any soldier who e a uni
form or shoulders a gun in the de-
fence of his country.
At five O'Clock Monday afternoon
the battalion will be formed and spe-
cial exercises executed in honor of
the flag. Under the direction of Maj.

Pushing the Primary Pledge.

Bryan's Commoner, published at Lincoln Nebraska, has
for over a year been making a campaign for the organiza-
ton of the democratic party by the rank and file.
According to the terms of this plan every democrat is
asked to pledge himself to attend all of the primaries of
his party to be held between now and the next democratic
national convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and to
secure a clear, honest and straightforward declaration of
the party's position on every question upon which the vot-
tiers of the party desire to speak. Those desiring to be en-
rolled can either write to The Record approving the OBJ
iect of the organization and asking to have their names en-
tered on the roll. or they can fill out and mail the blank
pledge, which is printed below.
The Record will, after making a list OF the names for use
in forming a Democratic Club, mail the pledges to Mr.. Bry-
an paper.

self. As we need not apprehend dam.
ger from this class of statesmen, let
us look further ahead and at the CON
| duct Of more genial gentlemen.
The place for the smooth fellow to
| get in his work. is in shaping the
framing of a constitution which the
people will not approve, or that the
Federal Government will not, and
cannot accept when sem up for final
action.
These are some of the more occult
dangers that beset US, and our hopes.
and we can well adopt the motto:
Men who can seemingly so amicably
adapt themselves to political condi-
tons and principles with which they
so recently held such opposite views,
are, to say the least, too vacillating
to be implicitly trusted with the or
ganization of a commonwealth which
is to withstand the breakers of the
turbulent political seas likely to peat
our shores.
Then, too, they might experience
another change of heart at a very
critical period, yet very opportune to
their purpose.
1t is only discretion to entrust the
advancement of a great cause to it's
true and tried friends, and on his
hypothesis, then, should we not look
well to the record of those who are
to be entrusted with the launching
Of our ship of state?
It's friends will strive tt keep it off
the rocks. It's enemies, or those in
different, like Nero watching The con-
~f1agration of Rome, may find greater
fascination in beholding the magnif-

A COMMUNICATION.
Indicating a Possible Condition of the
Statehood Question.

Statehood Question.
(The following letter was written to
the Record some time g by some
person at Carlsbad, but we have
lost he name. Think it was by
the county superintendent of Eddy
county,
The way the old anti-joint state
hood fellows, including the delegate
to congress, are wheeling into line
would appeal to is as all but ridicu-
lous, if on fuller consideration it did
not appear in a possibly serious
light.
This rapid change of many hearts
possesses some elements of gratifca-
ton to the observer in his merely
casual reflections, but when we recall
that politicians follow the practice
of changing from a hostile mood to
one of enthusiastic approval only
when there is something in the trip,
we may well inquire the occasion\for
this sudden fronting about.
Can it be simply to be assured of
a comfortable place on the band wa
gon? If we could see it so, we would
not feel called upon to sound the
alarm. Most of these gentlemen are
men of much personal agreeableness
and they have the happy faculty of
exerting their agreeableness when
and where it will bring returns. So
ciable beings, such as the citizenship
of New Mexico, are ever pleased to
have cordial men come into their
company, and are not without that
fattered by having the high of earth
come down to our ways of thinking,
and on that score we profoundly well
come these new converts from the
upper walks of territorial politics.
However, the history OF territorial
events suggests the advisability of
keeping tab on matters, lest there
may develop some more available
element tina that of a desire to ride
in agreeable company.
Men accustomed to perching upon
the elevated front seats are not Civ
en- to rushing for common places
among the herd, hence we
only owe it the success of our cause
to exercise vigilance in observing
who are to climb upon the vehicle of
harmonies, and see hat none do so
for the ordinary political purpose of
overlooking and overcrowding, and al
a convenient time, of overturning it
smashing the whole craft, wagon,
drums and all.
A common procedure in the admis-
sion of states has been for congress
to empower the Territory to select
delegates to a constitutional CONVEX
ton. The first duty of these delegates
on assembling has been to vote as
to whether the territory SHOULD be
come a state. Thus the first action
of said delegates is of gravest conse-
quence to the people of the Terrific
ry, and those desiring statehood
should not hastily accept as sincere
the professions of esteem from the
gentlemen who but a few weeks ago
were ~ridiculing, deriding, If not ma
ligning the cause and its advocates,
to which they are now so cordially
approaching the attitude of humble
admiration.
But this first field on which state
hood might meet defeat, need not
cause apprehension so much as later
| opportunities. He who would play
| with the fine Italian hand would, not
likely avail himself of this early date.
This is the time and place for the
| open. frank operator to manifest him
