"Look At Kansas"

If the supporters of prohibition
we're to adopt the reasoning of the
resubmissionists and the brewers,
they would claim that the federal
census proves prohibition to be the
main prop of prosperity. Along
in the nineties, when times were
bad, mortgages coming due, crops
failing or bringing low prices and
land was in no demand, Kansas
failed to gain in population. The
brewers in their literature made
much of the fact, claiming that no
body would migrate to Kansas be-
cause of the lack of liquor.
The federal census now shows a
higher proportional gain of popu-
ation in Kansas than in any other
State similarly situated. percent
age of gain in 10 years 81 times
that of Missouri, Notwithstanding
that Missouri has St. Louis on the
east and Kansrs City on the west,
the latter built and developed by
Kansas wealth and business; a gain
twice that of Indiana, while Iowa
shows a slight net loss of popula-
ton in the last 10 years. The
gain of Kansas of Is per cent COM
pares with Is per cent for
Michigan, and Michigan has been
exceptionally fortunate in the fact
that the new automobile industry
has happened to center at Detroit.
| 1t ought to be of some interest
to the brewers that this gain in
Kansas population is not in the
rural nelghborhooes, but in the
towns. and cities of the State.
There has been no question of
Kansas prosperity or the immense
increase in the wealth of the State
in 10 years, but how Kansas has
Jared in growth of population is a
different.question as Iowa shows,
with its great increase in land val
ues but a slight falling off in It's
population.
Kansas prospers every day and
points with pride to her statistics
of wealth, annual production of
food and mineral products, the
growth Of her towns and cities,
her building booms, the emptiness
of her almshouses and to a great
extent of her jails. 1t is stated
that there are more automobiles
among the farmers of Kansas than
anywhere else in proportion to
population, either in rural or urban
places throughout the country.
The only argument strongly urged
against the prohibitory policy of
the State that it hurts business
and repels immigration, is knock
ed into a cooked hat by the first
census of the twentieth century.

PADDED CELLS
NEEDED FOR
DEMOCRATS
REMARKABLE TELEGRAM
FROM FERGUSON EFT AL
Find It Impossible to Get State
hood Without Changing Con-
Stitution so They Win Attend
to the Matter.

A telegram received yesterday by
Summers Burkhart of this city,
throws a further light on the wonder
full brain processes Of the four disting-
uished patriots, supposedly represent-
ing the democratic party, who are
now in Washington to assume the
onerous responsibility of changing
New Mexico's constitution for her.
The telegram referred to was as fol-
lows:
I'VE find 1t impossible to get early
admission without providing for some
change in the enabling act and method
OF amending the constitution by the
people. 1t is utterly useless TO talk
of early admission without such ac-
tion. FAN, Curry and other republi-
cans are, in our opinion, only caus.
ing delay.
"Signed) "A. A. Jones, w. r. Nc
Gill, ii. b. Ferguson, J. d. Hand"
The utter, insane foolishness of
such a statement Is the final demon,
stration of the fact that the demo.
cratic party of New Mexico ought to
take these brilliant statesmen and
put them in padded cells until the
statehood matter is finally settled.
The publication of this telegram re-
moves the last doubt that these gentle
men are in Washington for the sole
and simple purpose Of blocking state
hood. The statement, made by
whomsoever, that the constitution is
not amendable by the people is a
bald, glaring, transparent falsehood.
The gentlemen who are making this
statement know 1t to be falsehood
which is refuted by the wording OF
the constitution so plainly that a
school boy can see It, The spectacle
of four alleged democrats who have
been repudiated by the rank and file
Of the New Mexico democracy assum-
Ing to decide as to the possibility of
early admission and assuming to say
what changes shall be made In a con.
stitution ratified by the whole people
is one that has dis,usted people of all
parties all over New Mexico.
A prominent democrat of this city
said yesterday that IL il is found that
any serious delay is being occasioned
by these four men, the party will
send a strong delegation of its lead
ers to the capital in person to brand
the knockers and protest to congress
against their impertinence.
kilograms and letters are already
being sent by democrats all over the
territory, particularly in the Pecos
valley and the local democrats will
transmit telegram Of protest today.

MEXICAN DEPUTIES
INDULGE IN
PLAIN TALK
NAME OF PRESIDENT
DIAZ NO LONGER SACRED
Arti-AominiStrdtion and Rad
cal Members Vie With Each
Other in Criticizing Dictator
While Galleries Applaud.
IBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire,

Mexico City, April 23.-unless the
chamber of deputies finds something
more interesting to discuss tomorrow
afternoon, the various measures in
the proposed anti-re-eleetion law
VIII be adopted. At the close Of n
session lasting until O'Clock last
night the bill as a whole was passed
with only one dissenting vote. 1t
remains to pass upon every article
separately.
Perhaps never In the history Of the
chamber have its deputies indulgeG
IN more spectacular oratory. The sal-
leries were crowded with spectators.
and they contributed Kisses and ap-
plause and shouted comment In such
volume that at times 1t was mpossi-
bic for the speakers of the floor to be
understood. Diaz and his methods
were criticized and sentiments uttered
which few months ago none but
the most daring would make.
Deputy fgnacio Bravo Balancourt
declared the real motives for the pres
entation OF the bin were supplied by
the armed revolt.
General Diaz, he said, had come in
to power by waving the banner of no
reelection and that same slogan had
been the inspiration of the present
anco of any man in power, said the
deputy, paved the way to tyranny.
Deputy Saaudra gained the loud
dsapproval of the spectators by ac-
cusing Senior Belancourt of playing to
the galleries.
Deputy Lozano reviewed the execu-
tive history OF the president in a man
ner calculated to show that with ev-
ery recurring Inauguration the people
became more dissatisfied until, in
1910 popular liberties were laid In
their grave and their epitaph written
on the tombstone which recorded the
presidents seventh reelection"
The deputy was interrupted so fire.
ouently that at one time he created
sensation by turning his face towards
the galleries and inviting his coward
lv enemies to meet him in personal
combat.
Deputy Diodoro Batalla, a radical
member, declared that the indefinite
continuance of General Diaz In pow
er was not to be considered. He ad-
ded that elections In Mexico never
had been more than form.
Referring to Madero, Bataila SAID
that a few months ago he had made
pilgrimage from one end of the coun-
try to the other suffering vexations
from petty local authorities tor
nreachlng the very doctrine which the
chamber was now called on to ap-
prove. 49,
The only deputy voting against the
adoption Of the bill as a whole was
Aurelio Melgarejo.
Following the adjournment OF the
chamber a few of the deputies VINO
had won the appreciation OF the spec
totors were carried through me
streets on the shoulders of their aa-
mirers.
