form our finances, 10 stop the expluita-
ton Of Alaska and TO promote Justly

NEW MEXICO MUST DECIDE.

The situation IN Now Mexico IL a
critical one. The state Is at The turn
ing point whore Il must choose bee
tween nm onward and upward careef
and d rcrograde movement. For
years there has been struggle here
against elements of evil long in con-
troll 81 the affairs of nearly ali Of the
counties aud Of the territorial govern
mcnt
when the state constitution was
made that element was supreme But
for the fight made by a few democrats
under the leadership Of Hon. liar-
vey D. Ferguson, there would have
hcon no ehuo ballot amendment ana
the people OF the state would have
been hog tied" for q quarter Of a.
century at least
with the nfsi state election there
came revolt from gang rule that
swept the republican party out Of con-
irol OF the new state. They lost the
poyefnorahip the trcasurcfship, the
travelling authorship. They lost one
member Of the supreme court and
half Of the district judgshps. They
retained control Of the most inoffi-
eient Legislature that ever assembled
On the American continent. ON that
point there can be no dispute.
During The nearly three years "
statehood. the people Of New Mexico
have had eroa, reason FOR thanking
God that the nominees Of the Las
Vegas convention did not win.
Since the nrst state election, there
have been more roads built and better.
more aohooihouaos erected, aud bet

more taxes have been paid by men
who previously had shlfked bearing

been administered better in the

COLLIER JASON
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The recent visit
to Davenport of the United States col
lier Jason, which came as naval San
ia Claus, has led to an unexpected re-
suit. According to one writer the visit
may have other effects than the ce-
menting Of friendship. This writer
says:
"The Davenport dockyard people
have taken stock Of the Jacon with
frank admiration. She is so superior
to anything that has yet been evolved
for maintaining the coal supply OF
our warships at sea that the United
States Navy is pretty sure to find her
visit reciprocated by the sincerest form
Of fiattery.
