DESERVE STATEHOOD.

There are four states in the union
with a smaller population than New
/ Mexico now has. There is no reason
/ or justice in depriving these hun
dreds of thousands of Americans of
, the rights of citizenship. To continue
TO bar New Mexico and Arizona from
statehood is to perpetuate the wrong
of half a century. New Mexico is
loyal in support of the union, and has
ever been. It was IN New Mexico
that the tide of the confederacy was
turned back FROM =the-west, and New
Efs-ricS semi more nell into -theszzzae
with Spain in proportion TO popuia-
ton than any other commonwealth.
In one year New Mexico has estab-
lished eighty new postofiees and the
territory has seventy banks. There
is one county which had 500 people
at the last census, and now has 20,-
600. More than $4,000 original home
stead entries have been made in New
Mexico within less than two years
and the increase of population in that
time is estimated at 100000.
If opposition to the admission of
Arizona and New Mexico be based
on political grounds, we say it is
mighty bad politics for the dominant

the union; it might and probably
would control both of them in presi-
Dental and congressional elections
If opposition be based on considera.
lions of craftsmanship. the Herald
maintains that it is the stateman-
ship of inclusion, not the statesman
ship of exclusion, that has made this
country great and strong and pros
porous. Not wealth, not alone popula-
ton. has ruled in allotting shares
in the national syndicate of states,
but rather the broader considerations
of natural resources, disable area, and
capacity of development. The power
of the west in the senate has saved
the west from perpetual and ruinous
neglect.
If opposition be based on eastern
selfishness, lust Of gain, and willing
ness to seem to share with the new
states the accumulated business pow
er of the old, then the Herald declares
that the supremest selfishness would
dictate that the east hasten to admit
the territories, for the east needs the
vast opportunities OF colonization, de-
velopment and investment that the
territories offer.
Through the immediate admission
of the two territories, no state, COM
munity or individual IN the union
would lose anything of value. any just
power or privilege, any fairly gained
and fairly maintained influences,
while every state, every community,
and every individual in the union
would gain material wealth through
possessing a share in an Increased
national heritage; would gain in pow
or through achieving a better balance

ALASTlNG EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim
Made for Doan's Kidney Pills in Z
Brownsville.

Relief from the pains and aches
of a bad back is always welcome
to every backache sufferer; but to
cure a lame. weak or aching back
is what's wanted. Cure it so it
will stay cured. It can be done.
Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it;
c. H. Hoencke, of 2319 Nc
Kinney Ave. Houston, Tex,
manufacturer and dealer in barrels
since 1872, says: For about a
year I had more or less, trouble
with my kidneys. It was caused
by cold or by straining my back.
I had much lumbago, and when
ever I made a sudden movement
I felt a sharp darting pain through
my kidneys. Ny back was often
so lame and sore that could not
stoop without suffering severely.
The kidney secretions scalded and
were very scant in quantity. I
used remedy after remedy but
found little benefit until I got
Doan's Kidney Pills on the advise
OF a friend who had been cured
By the time had taken half tie
box the backache mad disappeared
and the secretions were clear and
natural. I have advised many
others to use this remedy and al
ways keep a supply III the house. "
Plenty more proof like this from
Brownsville people. Call at Geo.

what customers report.
