conversation on the subject OF state

the government. In the course oi
that conversation, he said that he
supposed that there was nothing to
do. in view of the platform pledges.
but to pass q statehood bill, but that
for his part he regarded such action
as an unfortunate necessity. All OF
this only goes to show that If we
think we are going to get statehood
in the near future, no matter what
we do. we are likely to have an un-
pleasant awakening. There Is real
and substantial opposition to state
hood In the more populous states of
the country. We can see 1t in utter
ances like that l have mentioned, and
in the attitude of strong and repre-
sentative publications, like the out
look, Golfers Weekly and the Re-
view of Reviews. To say that this
feeling Is based on misapprehension
of conditions is beside the mark.
The fact remains that the opposi-
tion is there and may make itself
felt, should the opportunity arise. If
the constitution Is rejected another
convention must bo held, and before
that can be done money to defray
the necessary expenses must be forth
coming. That will require affirma-
tive legislation, and we shall, In my
judgment, be In a worse position than
that In which we found ourselves q
year ago. Then we could call upon
the leaders of both parties TO redeem
party pledges. but If we have to
make another appeal 1t may very
well be that We shall meet with the
response that WE DID NOT SEE
FIT TO TAKE OUR CHANCE
WHEN WE HAD 1T. AND THAT
NOTHING FURTHER WILL BE
DONE FOR US.

mental law was submitted to us for

selves than approve a constitution

sledge- hammer truths voiced by AL

Judge Cooley knows the law and

of unimpeachable integrity, keen in

Editor Morning Journal:
Dear Sir: That an overwhelming
majority of the people of New Mex

to admit of argument. The most
earnest advocates of the adoption of
the proposed constitution are no
more jealous In declaring their POSI-
| tion In this regard than the leaders
of the opposition. On one side we
are told that the rejection of the
| constitution by the people of the ter
ritory may indefinitely postpone our
admission to the union of states, and
on the other hand. that such action
will not even delay the desired con-
summation of our hopes

letter, in the hope that what | say

passionately reviews the history OF
| New Mexico's struggle for statehood
and calmly considers the present sit
uation must inevitably reach the same
conclusion. In 1908 the national con-
ventions OF both great parties de-
clared unequivocally for immediate
statehood for New Mexico and Arl-
zona. In spite of that fact, II was
only by dint of the utmost pressure
on the part of the president that the
Enabling Act was passed I'm the clos
ing days OF the long session in June,
1910, after good many people had
given up all hope of securing It's pas

Washington, Jan. IL. - President
Taft sent to congress today a special
message urging the fortification of the
Panama canal and recommending an
appropriation of $15,000,000 for the
initiation of the work to be made at
the present session of congress. He
forwarded with the message report
of the special army and navy board,
recommending the fortification of the
canal.
The report accompanying the mes
of fortification of the canal from $19,-
546.S4S to $12,475,32s. This reduc-
tion was reached by a fifteen per cent
cut in the amount of armament
through the omission of battery of
two 14-inch rifles and four 12-inch
mortars at Batele Point; through q
Redistribution and greater concentra-
tion of the proposed garrison and
through the adoption of similar and
more economical types of quarters
and emplacements.
As modified, the board recommends
that the armament at Panama shall
consist of eight 14-inch rifles, twelve
6-inch rifles and twenty-four L.
inch mortars.
It is recommended that the perma-
nent garrison in time of peace shall
consist of twelve companies of coast
artillery; four regiments of infantry;
one battalion of field artillery and one
squadron of cavalry.
Details for field works for the de-
fense Of the locks and dams have not
been completed.

the explosion that today wrecked a

building by five and damaged nine
other structures. A score of shop
girls and number OF customers had
narrow escapes.
The explosion blew out the front
walls of the building. tearing down
tlephone, telegraph and electric light
wires, which hung about spluttering
and hampering rescue work. Several
clerks and customers were buried in
the collapse of the building and those
who got out. reproted thrilling ex-
periences.
One young woman whose body was
later found burned went mad in the
store after the crash and bit the hands
of n man who tried to rescue her.
Another young woman was identi-
fled only by her shoes, which her
father recognized. The bodies of a
man and of woman were taken from
the ruins tonight so badly burned that
they have not been identified.
Workmen who had a natural gas
meter failed to cap the supply pipes
and just as the porter was instructed
to plug the pipe, the explosion came.
The porter started toward the cell

and hurried from the place.
The cries of Miss Smith, Miss Wag-

groped his way to the end of the
