New Mexico don't need some OF

that we need least, and it looks

the office of fish and game warden

Not that the game and fish of New

able. The sheriffs and their depu-

GaluSha A. Grow.

The passage of Galusha \. Grow,
Congressman before and during the
civil war. and author of the home
stead law, removes one of the links
which, in the chain of public life,
have bound the present to the past.
Mr.. Grow went to Congress in 1851,
and he did not leave Congress for
the last time until 1902, more than
& half-century later. It is a record
probably not equaled by any other
man in the. history of parliamentary
life in the United States.
But Mr.. Grow was remarkable for
far more than the fact that his
service covered such an extended
period. Not only was he one of the
men who early recognized the mo-
ment of the great issues that led
up to the civil war, but he took
firm ground for the policies which
paved the way to the settlement
that was finally and forever made
of the slavery question. He was
Speaker of the House that began its
sessions in 1s61--the Congress that
met the tremendous problems of the
war, and solved them. Grow was
then only thirty-eight years old.
He was a devoted supporter of Lin
coin, and one of the men who early
recognized that putting down the
rebellion was not TO be a ninety
days excursion into the South with
d band of militia, but must be one
of the most gigantic feats of arms
and of national resources in all
history.
Yet il is not for his services even
in that crisis that the country owes
him most. 1t is as the author of the
homestead legislation that he viii
securely occupy a place among the
great men and real benefactors of
the nation. The problem of using
the public lands to build up the
nation in the soundest, securest
fashion, had early impressed him.
He studied it; he knew the history
Of all the early migrations from the
East to the Ohio and Tennessee
valleys; he convinced himself Of the
needs of the country, and as a result
of his studies he produced that
monumental piece of legislation
known as the homestead law.
Meeting encouragement and ridi-
cule at first, in the end he passed
his bill and its wisdom found full
vindication in the development OF
the new West after the war. The
truest monument TO Galusha Grow
is to be found in the group of great
rich, developing States that occupy
near twO-thirds of the area of the
Republic. He knew how to make
the land the foundation of the ma.
ton. Jefferson, who acquired the
Louisiana empire, must divide with
Grow the honor of giving the ma
ton its wonderful far west. The
one acquired, the other developed.
