New Mexico is Republican.

The results of the election of dele
gates to the constitutional convention
in New Mexico reveal something of
surprise in the forecast of the politi-
cal complexion of the new state II
had been all but taken for granted by
republicans that 1t would be demo-
cratic from the outset and by the
democrats such conclusion was re-
garded as foregone. But New Mexico
will Join the sisterhood of states as a
republican commonwealth. if the re-
suits of this preliminary election are
to be accepted, and We know of no
reason why they should not be.
Complete returns give the republic
ans sixty-eight and the democrats
only thirty-two. delegates to the con-
vention that is to drart the state con.
stitution. This is a great surprise. no
doubt, to most people. The most
roseate republican hopes never could
have counted on so large a majority.
There is little doubt that had such
PSal VI IhS StdtC DSSH ldheH DeIOIe
the statehood bills were acted on in
congress their passage might have
been facilitated, for always in such
matters politics is bound to cut some
figure, though, of course, in this case
both parties were pledged to state
hood in their election platforms and
President Taft was determined, aside
from any and all political considera-
tions, to force the passage of the bills
The initiative and referendum is
still an unsettled issue in the consti-
tution-making of New Mexico Fifty
nine OF the sixty-eight republican dele
gates are opposed to it, but counting
all the democrats as favorable, they
with the other nine republicans, max
ing total of forty-one, might be able
to work a combination that in the end
would secure the insertion of such a
proposition in the draft, but yet It is
not probable and even so, congress.

Talks for people who sell things

Prejudice in business is about the
most expensive article a man can in
dulge in.
There are men who won't carry a
certain line of goods because a COM
petitor carries them. So when a Gus
toner asks for these goods he has TO
offer something just as good" or
confess that his competitor is more
enterprising.
Then there are others who refuse
to advertise in certain newspapers
simply because there may be one man
on its staff whom they do not like.
The fact that it may be the paper
which reaches the people whom he
wants to influence makes no differ
ence to the man with a prejudice. So
he closes his door on success.
The Bee has a daily circulation of
over $4,000 homes; 10000 readers
scan its pages daily for advertising as
well as editorial news. These people
read The Bee because 1t appeals to
them and gives them what they want.

Business in west and South

ment going on in the west is an old
one. but it is ever new, for there is no
let-up in this progress. But row
comes the south paralleling the west
in development, both in industry and
agriculture. The south's agricultural
output this year will, Baltimore
statistician estimates, amount to
$1,000, 100000. while its grain crop
will reach 100000 bushels. In
addition to this it will, so other au-
thorities assert, get 100000, 600 more
for this years cotton crop than it
would have received had not the
southern bulls vanGuished the New
York bears in the fight to control
prices But with all this stupendous
advance in agricultural pursuits, man
ufacturers are making, even greater
progress.
This is true in the west as well as
the south and it must bring forcibly to
every mind the thought of what the
future holds for these two sections of
the United States. The development
of the present, great as it is, must be
but beginning Of what is to some.
Viewing the matter in this light, it
would seem rather difficult for a man
to bury himself in pessimism as to the
maintenance of the balance in the law
of supply and demand in this country.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat
makes a most comprehensive exposi-
ton of the vast development going on
in the south and west, printing in a
single issue news stories from twenty
six different cities, ranging from the
south Atlantic coast to Seattle, skirt
ing the coast of Texas and going back
into the interior as far as Omaha,
showing not merely statements OF
what is going on, but actual facts
naming the items of expansion II
shows that new industries are spring
ing up, while old ones are running full
! blast; that new progress is apparent
oD every hand. 1t is about the most
complete and convincing evidence OF
the general prosperity in the country
today that we have seen. 1t is hare
to see how a better showing could b.
made than this simple array of cole
facts. They will stand out boldly
against all the talk of the alarmist t.
attempt to create the contrary belle
that the country is no, prosperous.
