are making this year, and four years
ago also the same old promise. And
our memory carries us back still fur
ther to the time when Rodey was a
candidate and we remember the same
old promise was put out by the repub
licans. lust as it was in 1898 and for
every election since the republicans
have promised statehood, always con
tingent upon republican C and
yet New Mexico remains a territory.
The truth is that statehood promis-
es are intended to III votes for
republican candidates and the voters
now know it and will act accordingly.
The republicans have always voted to
keep New Mexico out Of the Union
and the democrats TO admit New Mex
leo. The voters now realize this and
know that the only hope of New Mex
leo becoming a state is in the success
of the democratic party.

as to the proper thing to do. I want
do it by placing the ase where it
belonged. She went her way rejoicing
and h money in our treasury was
left for its legitimate purpose. I know
of a case in my old home where a
church debt of 5000 was paid by the
w. c.. T. U. and not a paid
her one dollar dues that year, thus
losing their auxiliaryship. For a laud-
able purpose, you say? Yes, but "these
things ought We to have done, not
leaving the others undone."
" 'Tis not SO much the thing we do,
my dear,
'Tis the thing we nave left undone,
That gives to us the heartache
AT the setting of the sun"
1 want to tell you the sequel. The
church, whose debt was paid, refused
to let that w. C. T. o. hold public
service in their building, because
they were afraid the women would
advocate prohibition or oma suf-
frage. Did you ever know of a SINH
lar case? Let us consider the question
seriously, being honest and just tow
ard u own, as well as generous to
others. This great reform needs
staunch and true friends to help bring
about the desired end.
Allow me again to call your atten-
ton to our publications. One cannot

have been grieved over the epara
ton by death Of w of our members
but we remember that they have only
entered the higher life. The workers
are continually going from us, but
others come forward, that the work
may not suffer loss. Remember that
our Territorial motto is, Whatsoever
He Saith Unto You, Do It." Let us
go forward then, with courage, to
work for the VICTORY, Which com

but it can come as a result of educat-
ed sentiment, that would compel en-
forcement of law in this direction.
Thorough work can be don through
the legitimate channels of our var
ious departments, which are forty in
number. No one ZEE say, there is
nothing l can do" for one can choose
tne department of greatest interest
to them and become an expert in that
line, thereby doing greater good per-
haps han in a general way. 1t is not
a question of how much o do, but
how well it is done, that counts for
success. Letters have come to US from
the many different sections of the
Territory, each containing the state
ment that in some sections gambling
is being carried On in their midst, al
though generally speaking h law is
enforced, that saloons are open on
Sunday, that children are sen to sa-
looms by their parents for liquor OF
some Kind n found drinking it.
What can be done about these things?
The inquiry confronts at every turn.
There are laws mi laws, good, bad
and Indifferent, but who is to blame
for these conditions? If it be true that
Lnere are violations of law as above
stated, it is the duty of the law abid-
ing citizens to change the current OF
opinion in the right chanlel-toward
enforcement. If such is not the case
and these laws are enforced, hen
New Mexico is to be congratulated.
Naturally, I am a champion of wo-
men, but believe that women are
largely responsible for good citizen
ship. Many little citizens of the home
are not taught to be law abiding
grow up without regard to the rights
of others, n gradually imbibe the
idea that liberty means license to
do wrong instead of the right. Rus
kin says: There is not a war, no nor
an injustice, but you ome are re-
sponsible for it. Not in that you pro-
woke it, but in that you have not him
dered." Beloved, we are not answer
able for the hideous injustice of the
liquor traffic, but have we hindered
in every possible way? I fear many
ave been Indifferent and 'Hshut your
selves within your gates" forgetting
the sorrow n suffering without. For
many years b opinion prevailed
that woman's sole duty was IN the
home; o we have reached the
plane where the duty is expanded un-

sought after by the press, because
the people want that kind of news.
What the great public demands. that
will be given. Let us do our share
toward creating the public sentiment
in favor of the abolition of the liquor
traffic and it's attendant evils. What
can we do? We can start an enthus-
iastic crusade for an increased mem
bership, and continue it until every
woman in the Territory has enlisted
with us or at least has been invited
to do so. We can pledge the children
and organize Loyal Temperance Le-
gions, thus having a reserve force
always on hand. Enlist young people,
sing temperance songs, give public
entertainments, medal contests. There
is no better way to get prohibition
sentiment before the people than that
of medal contests, n there are so
many kinds of contests. Baby con-
tests, where children of three to six
years take part. Children of larger
growth, hen the matrons, silver gray,
and the old folks contest. always at
tracts. Musical contests are always
of interest and can be utilized to fur
nish music for an oratorical. Essay
contests in the schools are education
al in the extreme. Sunday school on
tests and concerts prove of interest.

All these may not be practical in all
places, but there can be a choice. To
the new Unions, or old ones for that
matter, I would suggest the course
of study for w. C. T. U. and Loyal
Temperance Unions.
The subject of finance should be
a matter of oncer to us, for nc or
ganization can successfully carry on
work without money. While this ter
rftory has been for years., and still is,
a mission field, we, as ~consecrated
w. C. T. U. workers, ought to begin
to assert ourselves and become self
supporting. In connection, let me say
that money raised for w. G. T. U.
work should be used for that work,
and not diverted into other channels.
There is no objection to the individ-
ual giving to any or all good purposes,
but as an organization we heed mon.
ey for our own work, which is Grip
pied so often by lack of funds. There
are charity associations, civic clubs,

special work, who raise money for
their lines of work, but we do not
expect them to turn their funds into
our till, n If we did we should meet
with disappointment. Why should we
sacrifice this great work, when op-
p%ortunity offers? Let me Illustrate:
A woman came to me not long ago,
wanting money to take her to another
town. She was penniless and deserv-
ing. 1t was a worthy case, but our
treasury would have been utterly de-
pleted If we had complied with the
request. There is a benevolent asso-
citation in our city, whose business
it is to care for such cases, and who
gladly raise money for that purpose.
There was no question in my mind

STATEHOOD PROMISES
FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES.


IF Andrews is defeated New Next
CO statehood will be deferred for an
other two years" This is the state
ment going the rounds of the republi-
can press and it is intended to intim-
idate the voters of the territory.
Now let us examine this statement.
If Andrews is defeated" Well tina
is just what is going to happen. The
voters have finally awakened to the
knowledge that the republican prom
Uses made before every election and
never carried out, are intended for
campaign purposes and for nothing
else and they will be fooled no long
er. The republicans also recognize the
possibility of the defeat OF Andrews,
and as the day of election draws near
er the certainty of his defeat is be-
coming more n more apparent.
Now as to the concluding part OF
the sentence. Statehood will be de-
ferred for another two years." And
who has deferred statehood in the
past but the republicans? Year after
year they have promised to make. a
state Of New Mexico and year after
year they have deferred it and not
because of democratic ucces in the
territory but in spite OF republican
victories. Two years g the republic
