New Mexico has only been state
for little over a year which is
pretty fair proof that the first shall
be last; for long before the Pilgrims
had even begun loading their 1lO0
train loads of furniture into the
Mayfiower, New Mexico was settled
by white men and was moving for
ward at a speed which would make
snail look Ike the Empire State
Express.
For deliberate growth New Mex

settled by the Spanish in 1898, Nine
teen years later it had forty colo

three hundred years il has achieved

ng its distance from anywhere in
particular, this is n pretty good rec

A Changing Senate.

The death Of Senator Isidor Ray
ner of Maryland not only removes
one of the ablest constitutional law
yers IN the upper house, but throws
the control of that body in the Sixty
third congress in doubt. The mar
gin was uncomfortably narrow be-
fore. With Illinois and some other
states doubtful because of the new
Progressive party holding the bal
ance of power in the legislature, the
Democrats had but forty-nine votes
certain, or majority OF two In the
chamber. The death of Rayner de-
creases this to forty-eight. The gov
ernor of Maryland is Republican.
and the Democratic legislature does
not meet till 1914, which insures
Republican senator till that time. If
the Republicans or Progressiyes
should elect all the senator's from
the doubtful states the senate would
be tie, with Vice President Ma
shall casting the deciding vote. The
presence of several Progressive sena-
tors, however, and of such radica'
Republican as LaFollette would pre-
vent the Republican party from
holding a compact vote, so that the
closeness Of the chamber may not SO
much matter.
The change in the upper house in
the past two years has been tremen-
dous The old group has almost
wholly disappeared. Aldrich and
Hale have retired; Cullom, Bailey,
Crane, Foster, Paynter, Briggs, Wet
more and Dixon retire at the end of
this congress. Frye, Hepburn, Nixon
and Rayner are dead. In the new
senate a number of former house
members will be seen-Ransdell,
Sheppard, Hughes, James and others.
One picturesque figure will be former
Governor Vardaman of Mississippi.
Two new faces will appear from Illi-
nois, two from Colorado, one each
from Maine, Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Louisiana, mississippi,
Tennessee, Texas, Kentucky, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Ne.
vada, OREGON and possibly some other
states. George W. Norris, the Pro-
gressive fighter in the house, is one
of those promoted Governor Shat
roth and former Governor Thomas
OF Colorado will be among the new
Democratic majority. There will be
at least fiye Progressive senator's.
Even though the senate is close it
Is measurably certain to favor tariff
reduction by substantial majority
That is true even of the present body
in which the Republicans have a
nominal majority of seven. In the
coming senate the progressive eie-
ment in all parties will have in
creased strength.

Pensioning Ex-Presidents.

The audacity of Andrew Carne.
gie's offer to y pension future ex-
presidents of the United States made
the nation gasp oncee or twice and
then break out in Homeric laughter.
1t is doubtful If there will ever be
an ex-president with so little self re-
spect that he would accept charity
from such a source, and even If there
should be the nation would not per-
init 1t. The incident may serve one
good purpose, however. 1t may
arouse congress to provide some dig
nified and fitting support for those
who have held our highest office.
A bill has already been introduced
to make ex-presidents members Of
the house, but without a vote. The
reason the vote is withheld is that
to bestow it would require a consti.
tutional amendment. For giving
the house the benefit of their expert
ence their remuneration under this
measure would be $500 per year.
II has also been suggested that they
be given seat in the senate. One
man would make them members OF
both houses. That might be happy
solution. but even former presi-
dent is hardly numerous enough to
be In two houses at once.
II seems "A pity that the United
States has not body corresponding
