but that Arizona was able to defeat
the movement
When New Mexico was called, B. J.
Viljoen, in answering for the terri
tory. said that the remark of Mr.. Fow-
Ter in regard TO Arizona's being tied
up to New Mexico may not have been
meant seriously, but it seemed to the
speaker that it was a sorry day for
Arizona, when she rejected the propo-
sition
often when people speak of New
Mexico-peOple ignorant of true condi-
tions-they talk about cactus, mes
quite trees, and MeXicans and seem to
think that is all that New Mexico has,"
Gen. Viljoen said: In regard to the
cactus and mesquite. wherever il is
possible to irrigate or cultivate we
have replaced these by orchards and
alfalfa fields. AS regards Mexicans
we cannot civilize them. because they
are already civilized. but we are sue
ceeding very well in Americanizing
them. The loyalty of the Mexican
people to the American flag in the
past has been demonstrated. and the
time is at hand when New Mexicol is
going to be the refuge of thousands of
American people. who want homes
where they can till the soil and become
independent"

more eloqucnce than discre ton in
handling the truth.
Unfair Reports Made.
1t is absolutely disgusting to sit at
the press table and watch the Denver
reporters handle the convention Every
crumb that favors Colorado is seized
upon as if il were an elephantine
banquet and as carefully recorded as a
morsel worthy of placing before the
eyes of people Of centennial state.

Don't Want New County.

Since Governor Noel has authorized
the creation of "A new county TO be made
from Pike and Marion, the people of
that section have been preparing to
fight the measure. The people of Mar
ION county have twice shared their ter
rtory To form sister counties, once to
create Pearl River and again To make
Lamar. Now that they are called upon
to give up one OF the richest sections,
they are somewhat reluctant to see more
OF their territory 20 without struggle.
The proposed plan is to form the new
county from the eastern portion of Pike
and the western part of Marion. The
area OF Pike i rs square miles and
that OF Marion 655. Out of these coun-
ties it is proposed to take 300 square
miles from Pike and los from Marion,
thereby forming a new county OF 404
square miles.
