of a rural newspaper in the State that

can always be depended upon to faith
fully and fearlessly do their whole

il IS to enforce the law fail to do so
they are promptly deposed. They used
to hang and burn prohibitionists in

"A great deal of credit should be

the scenic highway between those two

OF convict labor. 1t was a good idea
and has spread, and today several of
the states are employing their prison
ers in this way.
The building of roads is a class of

The great question, however, which
concerns New Mexico as a whole, and
in which the people from one end OF
the territory to the other are inter
ested is our admission to the sister
hood of states.
Statehood for New Mexico.
For many years we have been ask
ing for statehood, claiming that it
was promised to us under Article TX
of the treaty of Gaudalupe-Hidalgo,
which article contained the provision
that the territories shall be incor-
porated into the Union of the United
States. and be admitted at the prop
err time. Ito be judged by the con-
gress of the United States) to TIE en-
joynent of all the rights of citizens of
the United States
up to the present session the law
making power has never judged that
the proper time had arrived, although
for many years New Mexico, In pop
~ulation, wealth and development, has
far exceeded the standard accepted
by the congress in the admission of
many of the older states.
Ever since its Organization as a
territory the people of New Mexico
have in every possible way, botA in
of war and In times of peace,
shown their devotion TO the flag and
their loyalty to the government of the
United States, and they have earned
the right to participate in the bene-
fits of fun citizenship
Notwithstanding the handicap OF
a territorial form of goyernment, how
ever. we have steadily progressed in
our resources, in extend

railroads and new Irrigation enter |

To-day I believe the congress re-

with some notifications and receive
approval of the president.
