chances are that the mex legislature
of New Mexico, be it territorial or
state, will have a large majority made
up of Democrats and OF independent
Republicans who nave kicked out of
the machine traces. The President
must certainly know these facts, and
it cannot be that he favors tie perma-
men condition of statehood for the
very uncertain lance of getting two
Republican senators. 1t must be that
he believes that what he mas done for
New Mexico since he gave our affairs
his personal attention, has done more
to regenerate and make US over than
was ever done for any other people
as a whole in a hundred years. He
may be right. We do not presume to
doubt, but a hard-headed congress
may doubt, may object, may ask for
proofs of this miracle.
1t may arouse the suspicious of
some people here at home to now
that what is known as the Republican
gang in New Mexico are red-hot for
statehood, to a man. 1t goes without
saying that this would got be the
case if they did not feel sure of con-
trolling the new state. Possibly they
may be correct, but in spite of that
dire possibility We are IN favor of
statehood, because we feel confident
that in a short time, even if not at
first, statehood would be their Sedan.
But we believe That from the very
outset they could not control the new
state. We believe they do not now
represent twenty-five per cent of the
voters. This gang of grafters and rep
utation assassins have ruined theiI
Town party, but this they cannot them.
I~selves see, and they have misled the
President into believing that they rep
resent the sentiment of the majority
in New Mexico. Never was there a
greater mistake. All the people want
is a good square opportunity to clean
out the gang, n statehood will give
that chance. Therefore, let statehood
seems to-us impossible That there is
in the United States a community o.
800, 900 people so politically besotted
and so devoid of ~self-respect as to be
voluntarily ruled, for any considerable
time, by such a combination of ras
cality and greed as the old Republi
can gang.
Therefore, as Democrats, we say
let statehood come. It. will give al
decent men, be they Democrats OIL
Republicans, something TO fight for
and if they win. their victory cannot
be kicked into pi by a mistaken, mis-
led or overbearing President.

that where such is the case a home

consequence of this fact homestead
ers do not take up the lands in the

for anybody to Craze upon who wishes

For instance, the small sheep far

his flock so that the Ian will support
it, not only today, but ten years

er, who has no home on the land at
all, but simply owns huge migratory
focks of sneep, may well find it to
his profit to drive them over the small

things is not only evil for the small

THE PRESIDENT ON
THE LAND QUESTION.

The Record has been requested to
recent address by President Roosevelt
on the matter of the use and disposal
of the public lands:
Unfortunately, l am not able on
this present trip to visit those states,
or 1 should speak to their own peo-
pie OF the point to which l now in
tend to allude; but after al, anything
that affects a considerable number of
Americans wno live under one set of
conditions must be of moment to
friends, that in the long run we shall
all go up or go down together.
THE tates of the high plains and
of the mountains have a peculiar
claim upon me, because for a number
of years l lived and worked in them,
and 1 have That intimate knowledge
conditions. In those states there is
need of a modification of the land
laws that have worked so we'll in the
well watered fertile regions to the
eastward, such as these in which you
here dwell.
Alien Ownership Great Evil.
THE one object in all II and laws
should always be to favor the actual
settler. the actual home-maker, Who
comes to dwell on the land and there
to bring up his children to inherit it
after him.
THE government should part with
its title to the land only to the actual
home-maker-not to the proit-maker,
who e not care to make a home.
The land SHOULD be sold outright only
in quantities sufficient for decent
homes-not in huge areas to be held
for speculative purposes or used as
ranches, where those who do the &c
tual work are merely tenants or hired
hands.

class of men could in the slightest de-
gree atone for failure on cur part to
shape the laws so that they may
work for the permanent good of the
home-maker.

Held for the Grand Jnry.

Monday Justice Gildea held the preliminary examination of Wing Wong, the Chinaman who wounded mortally Friday night, so he died Saturday morning, Ruperto Beje- rano, the Mexican who assaulted him at the time of the shooting in the store of Quong Chong, on Grand avenue, in the vicinity of the post office The territory was repre- sented in the hearing by District Attorney w. A. O'Connor, and At torneys s. F. Noon and Frank J. Duffy appeared for the defendant. Six witnesses were examined, three for the prosecution and three for the defense, and the case was wig orously contested on both sides. The evidence went to show that while the Mexican was the aggres- sor in the first instance, the China man followed him outside the door and there delivered the pistol shots
