would in no wise do violence tC
any law, written or unwritten.
The advantages that would
arise for New Mexico from this
union are so apparent that a mere
mention of one or two is all that
is necessary. The territory
would have in FL Paso a city of
commanding Importance in pop
ulation, in wealth. in commerce,
in position, as a railroad center
Of the Southwest, but it is
New Mexico and not Texas rail-
roads that center there. The
large increase of the English
speaking population would assure
congress that the majority Of the
new state would be Americans.
The fact that this part of Texas
has proved itself capable of self
government would silence COM
pletely the cry that we were not
fit for statehood. Then too there
are the advantages to be derived
from ali increased frontage on
on the Rio Grande, the mines and
the ranches that would be devel-
oped and so on almost without
limit.
Unless it can be shown that FL
Paso and west Texas will also be
the gamers this discussion will
be but a waste of your space. |
think it can easily be shown that
this part of Texas will gain more
by annexation than even New
Mexico, Ell Paso would pass from
a small and insignificant town,
so far as her present state gov
eminent is concerned, to a city
of first Importance in the new
state. Her trade would be found
in a part of the country where
she had helped make the laws.
Her railroads would in a large
be under her control.
She would be free to develop her
territory and be sure that it
would remain hers. East of Ell
Paso lies a large section, rich in
possibilities, both in agriculture
and minerals. The agricultural
lands cannot be developed be-
cause there is no government
land and so no opportunity for
government reclamation; and the
present state land law is such
that irrigation by private capital,
to any large extent, is an impos-
sibility.

a great subject, but | trust it
may help start a movement that,

endorse and push.

THE NEXT MOVE.

clally disposed of the joint state
hood question it is time for New
Mexico to make a move for single
statehood. Jointure could hardly
be called a good move for either
territory and we may be sure il
was endorsed by New Mexico a,
her only hope. A state compri
Sed of the two territories. from
any view point, is undesirable
ana impractical and there are nj
people who will recognize that
scone. thai me citizens of New
Mexico.
As II: territory now stands
sing e statehood is out of the
question. 1t cannot pass Con-
gress, and as so large a portion
of our people who do not under
stand our language, live under
different conditions than our PEG.
pie. who, after years of residence
under our flag are still foreign
ers, it is an open question wheth-
e. New Mexico can claim a place
among the States. Those men
who make a study of good gov
eminent are all agreed that ina
bi!ity to adapt themselves to our
customs of living, is one menace
to our free institutions. Dismiss
ing these questions from the dis
cusSions, the fact remains that
our national lawmakers, whether
with or without good reasons, do
not think that New Mexico of
herself is, at present, fitted for
self government.
A readjustment of state lines
in the Southwest, it would seem
to the writer. would easily solve
the trouble, and in addition prove
an advantage to all concerned.
SO | think that a state formed of
the present territory Of New
Mexico with that portion of Tex
as lying west of the l03rd merid-
ian would easily secure admission
to the union. 1t is we'll to know
that large portion of the pres
EFT New Mexico was a part of
the republic of Texas. When
the cession of Texas territory
was made tothe United States the
l03rd meridian and the 32nd par
alell were chosen as the bound
airy lines merely for convenience
and with no reference to local
conditions. This portion of Tex
as has nothing in common W it'll
the rest of the state. In fact the
two parts of the state are separ-
ated by what amounts to an en-
pire. So far as the state govern
ment is concerned FL Paso'S citi.
zans find that their city lis not
on the map" FL Paso bears to
Texas and New Mexico the same
relation that Kansas City does to
Missouri and Kansas. 1t is in
the first but is a part of the Sec
ond.
Not being a lawyer | do not
know what legal objections might
arise to this proposition, but the
partition of a state is not without
precedent. | think it was in the
year 1893 that Vermont was sep.
arated from New York. and ia
1920 Maine was formed from q
part of Massachusetts. The par.
tltion of Virginia in the stress OF
the civil war is hardly to be called
a precedent, though it remains
an example of the fact that coun.
ties have been detached from one
state to form another.
When Texas was admitted tc

SPORTING NEWS

Since the introduction of base
ball into this county there has been
the most intense friendly rivalry be-
tween Parkersburg and Marietta.
The teams representing the two
cities have battled on many fields
and the result has been practically
an even break. About the only line
that can be drawn as to the merits
of the two towns in a baseball sense
is the showing that they make
against other teams. Clarksburg
this season has twice decisively de-
feated two teams representing the
cream of Parkersburg athletes. so
it's up to Marietta to do or die. Ihe
probabilities are that it won't be
exactly a Marietta team that comes
here next Sunday. The chances are
that it will be the pick of the Ohio
valley playing under the name OF
Marietta.

.INAGGABEES
1T JAMESTOWN

At their biennial encampment
Just ended at Columbus, o., the
knights of Maccabees have decided
| to add a picked body of men from
the Uniform Rank of the order 10
the military pageant at the James
town Exposition, to be held at
Hampton Roads near Norfolk, Va,
next wear. The decision Is unusual
and demonstrates the widespread
popularity of the exposition, mas
much as the order does not make
practice of holding yearly encamp-
ments. These are biennial feat
ure of the MEETINGS and ordinarily
the next encampment would have
been held in 1908. In view Of the
fact that there will be great milf
tary display at the exposition, at
tended by military delegations from
nearly all the great fraternal orders
of the country, there was little hesi-
tation at the recent encampment in
authorizing departure from the
custom of the order.
This decision viii bring to the
exposition at least $500 knights
with their wives. Five hundred of
the Ladies of the Maccabees, an
auxiliary order, will also attend the
exposition, taking part in the drills
on Lee Parade. Both bodies will
be brilliantly uniformed and their
smart drills will add greatly to the
attractiveness of the military feat
ure of this great historical celebra-
ton.
The members of the Uniform
Rank of the Maccabees will be quar-
tered in tents in the general en-
,ampment on the grounds. These
tents will be furnished by the expo
;ition company and will embody all i
he latest sanitary features adopted
" the United States Army. Meals
viii be furnished to the visitors at
low price and everything possible
will he done to make their stay en-
oyable. Drills of a purely mill
airy character viii be judged by
.rny officers detailed for the pur-
,ose by the United States govern
nent. I;
Major General W. Fl. sfefzer,
ommanding the Uniform Rank, ex-
,ects to visit Norfolk in a short
ime to make arrangements with the
ficials of the exposition for the
reat encampment. While he is
lere the date of the Maccabees'
isit will be fixed and a day set
side on the exposition calendar to
, know as Maccabees' Day.
The knights of the Maccabees is
ne of the largest fraternal orders
the world. The Ladies of the
-accabees is one of the largest
HILLARY fraternal bodies. Both
odies attended the St Louis Fair
I'd were highly praised for the eX-
,llence and military precision of
leir drills. Drills in which the
dies will compete with the men !
i'll probably be a feature of the .
[acabees' visit at jamestown.
