Statehood for New Mexico.

There are four states in the
Union with a smaller population
than New Mexico now has. There
is no reason or justice in depriv-
ing these hundreds Of thousands
of Americans Of the rights OF citi-
zenship. To continue to bar New
Mexico and Arizona from state
hood is to perpetuate the wrong
of half a century. New Mexico is
loyal in support of the Union, and
has ever been. 1t was in New
Mexico that the tide Of the Con-
federacy was turned back from
the west, and this country sent
more men into the war with SPAN
in proportion to population than
any other commonwealth.
"In one year New Mexico has
established so new postofices, and
the Territory has 70 banks. There
is n county which had 500 peo-
ole at the last census, and now
has 1000. More than $4,000
original homestead entries have
been made in New Mexico in less
than two years, and the increase
in population is estimated at
1000.
eff opposition to the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico be
based on political grounds we say
it is mighty bad politics for the
dominant party to keep two terri
tories out of the Union; it
might and probably would, con-
troll both of them in presidential
and congressional elections.
"If opposition be based on con-
siderations Of craftsmanship the
Herald maintains that it is the
craftsmanship OF inclusion that
has made this country great and
strong and prosperous. Not
wealth, not alone population, has
ruled in ailoting shares in the
national syndicate of states, but
rather broader considerations OF
national rccources, disable area,
and capacity for development.
The power OF the west in the sem
ate has saved the west from per-
petual and ruinous neglect.
"It opposition be based on
eastern selhshness, lust Of gain
and willingness to seem to share
with the new states the accumu-
lated business power OF the old,
then the Herald declares that the
supremest selhshness would die
tate that the east hasten to admit
the territories, for the east needs
the vast opportunities of colonial
ton, development and investment
that the territories offer.
Through the immediate adj
mission Of the two territories, no

PINCHOT SEES
WOOD FAMINE
Declares Trees Now Standing VIII
Not Supl Timber to Last
Twenty Years.

New York, March 6.-Announcing
that there was no issue before the
American people SO important, in his
judgment, as the conservation of nat
ural resources, urged upon Congress
by President Roosevelt. Clifford Pin
chot, forester of the department Of
agriculture, told 1900 people at a
meeting of the American Institute OF
Electrical Engineers last night that
timber famine in this country was
imminent, and unless there was a
great change, in public sentiment,
the country would have to face in
few years the problem of how to do
without wood.
At the present rate of consump-
ton, he said, the timber now stand
ing could supply timber for twenty
years. There have already been set
aside in the west 165, 100000 acres
of forest lands protected by the gov
ernment.
But this represents only one-ffth
of the timber the people of this ma
ton own" added the speaker, "and
steps to protect all such property
from the rapid destruction now in
progress cannot be taken too SOON"

WHO WILL Be
The DIRECTOR?
Men and Women Voting Now to Elect
New Member to the School
Board.

At two o'clock this afternoon vot-
ers, male and female, began pouring
into the city building on Mission st.
to ballot for school director
Contrary TO rumor, and despite the
efforts of interested parties, no one
Of the four candidates withdrew, and
the contest has developed into a four
cornered fight.
Frank Holm, George Coburn, c. A.
Battles and Guilford Mari are the
candidates from which the choice will
be made. and at this writing to pre-
diet the result with any degree of
accuracy would be futile undertake
ing.
The voting will continue until s
o'clock tonight, and as regards Co.
burn and Holm at least the contest
promises to be very close.
The church question has entered
more or less into the controversy, the
supporters of one candidate insisting
that as the methodist church already
has one member on the board 1t
should not expect another in the per-
son Of Mr.. MARI. 1t is generally re-
GREETED that the religious affiliations
Of any candidate should have been
made a cause for argument for or
against him. For If there is one In
stitution in the country which should
be conducted free from the influence
Of any particular sect or religious or
ganization it Is the public schools.
