In an oratorical outburst, Governor
Stubbs of Kansas exclaimed: "The
battleship cruise around the world has
given our young men a training which
will be invaluable if war should come,
and has proved, in many distant lands,
the good will which America feels to-
ward the other nations of the earth" I"
The conflict of sense and sentiment in
the passage quoted is an excellent ex-
ample of unintentional paradox, and if
the governors name were not "Stubbs"
might pass for an Irish bull.

Scots in Los Angeles celebrated
Washington's birthday with a haggis
supper. All atteRpts to naturalize the
haggis have failed. It retains it's Scot
tish characteristics. Still it is astonish-

simulated by many enterprising Ameri-
cans. The Caledonians of New York
managed to persuade Charlie Delmonico
to put haggis on his bill of fare. We

George Broadhurst is certainly under
obligations to the reverend gen
tleman who gave the clever playwright
and brilliant newspaper man an oppor-
tunity to make a few timely and sensi-
BILE remarks on the drama. Evidently
the minister thinks the theater ought
to be Lexowed. What Mr. Broadhurst
doesn't know about Lexowing isn't
worth knowing. In the controversy
the minister is at great disadvantage,
because there are so many things he
doesn't know he doesn't know. He
means well, no doubt.

SAVAGE


nv HEN Savage had degraded him
w self by spewing out filthy and
scurrilous venom against the
newspapers which are acquainted with
his true motives and the men who
know his character, Charles Bills of
Sacramento undertook to apologize to
the legislative committee for Savage's
conduct. We have not been informed
of the exact grounds on which the
apology was founded, but it reminds
us of the homely ,sinile used by an old
farmer who elaborated a well known
Bible text as follows: do men gather
grapes Of thorns or figs of thistles, and
what can you expect of a hog but a
grunt? BY their fruits ye shall know
them"

in 1888. 1t contains the full narration
of the chivalrous expedition of Espejo
from the day that it left Santa Bar
bara in New Biscay until it's return.
And here we have a chapter headed,
"Of New Mexico and How it Was Dis
covered" which tells that in the year
1888 Antonio de Espejo. after ave
ing up the Rio de Norte, discovered a
land of Is provinces, which he called
New Mexico" This you see is no
modern invention, for this little boo
was printed but five years after the
occurrences themselves. So the anti
guilty of the name is absolutely es-
tablished; and from hen until now
through all these years of time, that
name has never changed.
Dignity of Name.
LAS to the dignity which that name
represents New Mexico was never an
ordinary province of New Spain, like
the regions of the south of it. 1t was
always a separate government, with
the authorities appointed directly by
the Spanish king, and in all ancient
documents it is called the kingdom
of New Mexico"
Discovery of New Mexico.
In h passage quoted, governor
Prince says that Espejo came int"
New Mexico in 1888, in which year he
marched Up the Rio Grande in hopes
Of rescuing from a martyrs fate the
thTee Franciscan missionaries h
had settled upon it's banks the
modern B~ernalillo," ano a little furth-
err down he says: Gin the year 1855
Antonio de Espejo, after travelling up
the Rio de Norte, discovered a land
OF fifteen provinces, which he called
New Mexico
Without any further data than the
above statement of Gov. Prince, is it
not perfectly clear that the three
franciscan missionaries' were in New
Mexico prior to Espejo and that, there
fore Espejo was not he ~discoverer
Of New Mexico? The merest novice
in the history of the southwest knows
that New Mexico was discovered in
1910 by Francisco Vasquez Coronado,
who entered New Mexico in that
year, passed through it from east to
west as far as Kansas, wintered at
Bernalillo On his return and then pro-
ceeded to Culiacan and the City of
Mexico in 1871. Coronado's following
became very much demoralized and
many of them refused to pass the win
ter at Berna1illo and returned to Gull
iacan in 1910.
AS to the three Franciscan miss
ionaries," Coronado, in his journal, or
rather his c~hronicler, CaStaneda, says
that 1.-TWO Franciscan friars and a Por-
tuguese negro Gun negro Portuguese
deserted and remained in the country,
not al B~ernalillo, but at Pecos, the
indian village at the point where Cor
onado crossed the Pecos river on his
way to Kansas.
Espejo marched up the Conchos riv-
IT from Santa Barbara, and thence
across to the Pecos river, up the Pee
os river to b town of that name,
thence across to the Rio Grande and
down that stream and back to Santa
Barbara, from which point he started.
He was sent out in pursuit of a SER
geant by the name of Chamuscade
who had penetrated into New Next

al indian village southeast of Albu-
querque and Espejo heard of iii and
found relics of him on his return
journey. 1t is hardly probable a
he could have expected to find the
two Franciscan friars and a POrtu-
guese negro who had deserted from
Coronado forty-two years before.
The Name New Mexico.
AS to the name New Mexico" Gov
Prince is again wrong. as the credit
for that name belongs to another ex-
plorer and his credit is thoroughly es-
tablished. In 1861 Francisco Ibarra.
while making explorations in northern
Durango and southern Chihuahua, dis
covered an Indian village hat seem
ed to him to resemble the City of Mex
leo, and he wrote his brother in the
latter city, that he had found a "nueva
Mexico" the feminine form of niue
va" indicating that he meant a new
City of Mexico, another City of Mex
leo, because the houses there We're
w~hitewashed and the people wore cot
ton cloth, characteristic of the City
of Mexico. From this circumstance
all that section of unknown country
, north of Santa Barbara was called

occur many time in 'Cartas de Reli-
giosos' by Mendieta and other Fran
~ciscans prior to the expedition of An
