A PICTuRE BY YOUNG.

Young, whose original drawings are feature of Life and other publications, has struck a vibrant note in his picture enti- tied "The Grave of Our Dreams" The picture originally appeared in Life and is now being sold in art stores over the country. It's simplicity makes it all the more impressive. On a gloomy, boulder strewn hill, where it is easy to imagine that distressful winds sigh always, two rough-hewn figures of stone are reared against the pail of somber sky, in which there is no ray of the sun. The figures are shaped to represent the letters "P' and "F' and the word they spell Is "IF." Over the grave of our dreams what mon ument could be more fitting? off is the stumbling block of the ages,' on which many a fairly y-builded hope has been shat tered beyond reclaim. Terse, unchanging and irrevocable, it is the bar of destiny, the symbol placed above every toiler's grave of dreams.

The democratic promoters OF the
Larrazolo candidacy weakly try to
convince the voters that statehood
can be secured as readily by their
candidate as by Andrews. That
such Is not the case is apparent TO
every intelligent voter. Statehood,
immediate statehood, is neces'
sary to the future prosperity oil
New Mexico, and those watching
the events OF the year know that
statehood must come at the short
session OF the present congress, or
NOT for many years; and it is equal
ly plain that the election OF Lara
colo will defeat the statehood bill
now before congress. Let us have
statehood and prosperity. and new
