New Mexico Knocker Busy Again.

Il knocker of New Mexco-the Albuquerque Ct1ze ournal "a rabd bindly partisan newspaper, which Is dog every thing in its power keep New Mexico out ot Satehooo
 Our sole hope is that President Taft and the powers that are in Washington will pay attention to the utter ,nces o s misguided misrepresentave sheet for no Ar1 zonan could ever be convinced that representative ot our sister Territory We prefer to look upon the other New Mexican daies-a of which proud to announce are fair and truthful no what their party affiliations may be-as speaking for that commonwealth
 Here is the paragraph in question which should make the good citizenship of that territory blush with though the spoutng may possibly delight the Democratic politicians as we'll as of the renegade Republicans who have contributed making the political history of New Mexico what nooriousy isa disgrace to the territory and shame the entire nation.
 The paragraph in question IS as follows:
 "An outline of the Presidents trip could easily be confounded with trip of the Russian monarch Dy simply changing names.
 We supposed that the genius" woefully lacking III gray matter to point of pheadedness who wrote that sob dreamed in his narrowness that he setting the world on fire He perhaps thinks it is bliancy the high est degree to continually insult the nations chet executive We do not doubt but that this little journalistic mcrobe be- eves he is an elephant in the affairs of the Southwest but we are most thankful and highly delighted to say that we are convinced he IS somewhat less than an atom ..

 Arizona IS able handle her affairs Her c1tlzell- ship rapidly increasing The of her voters represent the best blood and the intelligent citizens Tn the land Always conservative always fair, always displaying Judg men and intelligence they have for Arizona the admir- ation of entire nation.
 And finally we say the credit of the Democratic newspapers of this country that unlike the narrowmnded short-sighted New Mexico Democratic organ, they have wisdom enough refrain from deliberately sur- ring the President.
 With the Arizona spirit and patriotism, they, like the Republican papers pulling for statehood irrespective of party affiliations and furthermore they like all Arzonans expect receive 1t the session of Congress.
 If New Mexico should be left the cold its citizen ship may the professional politicians and their hired organs for the painful answer.
