Promises are easy. Sometimes per
formances do not correspond with
I promises which have been made, and
sometimes the actions Of the party
or person making a promise are not
quite in line with the promise.
Republicans have beef promising
statehood for New Mexico for many
years. The Republicans have had it
in their power to give New Mexico
statehood and they have not done so.
Is there any more reason to expect
statehood at the hands of the Repub
lican party this year than there was
last year? OF course there is not. No
of the Republican party, contained
in it's platform which was adopted
in Chicago last June.
Had the Republicans in congress
had an honest desire to pass a state
hood bill for New Mexico, they would
have passed it at the long session of
congress, when they had plenty of
time, and would nave provided for
the admission of the territory at
some date after the third of Novem.
Der if, as was stated, they desired to
keep New Mexico out until after the
presidential campaign, instead of
waiting for the short session of con-
|gress when little legislation beyond
the necessary appropriation bills In
usually undertaken. The excuse is
entirely too gauzy to deceive.
The action of our delegate to con
.gress does not appear to show that
he has much confidence in the pass
age of a statehood bill at the coming
session of congress, although he
talks differently. In his three-minute
speech after his denomination here
last week he said:
Il am convinced that 1 will not be
called upon, even though elected in
November, to take my seat in con-
gress in December, 1909, for by that
time the Republican party will have
redeemed its pledge for the immed-
late admission of New Mexico to
statehood"
If Mr.. Andrews is so certain that
Mexico will be passed before Decem-
Der, 1909, we wonder why he is so
anxious to be elected? We wonder
why he spent SO much time and mon
~ to secure the nomination for an

the right to elect its own officers and

There is no other way. All this talk

the people of New Mexico know it.
MIR. Andrews has a two terms, and
the republicans could have given us
statehood at any time, had they hon

not, fearing the territory would send

it is highly improbable that he would

standard equal to hat of any in what
ever state you wish to choose as a
standard. Mr.. B~rasher, the conductor,
has organized the institute along prac

ion among the teachers is that the
work accomplished and the benefits
derived from the work excels that of
any other institute they have eve

None of the teachers will write for

fully one-third will write for a first

laws of New Mexico to a five year
certificate. The number of five year
exceeds that Of any other county in

that our county will increase its Leaf
