We desire to make the Liberal
not only the mirror of the life OF
Lordsburg but to make il

living things in the world, the
SequOias, or that they will be
found at the top of Pixies Peal
or the Canadian Rockies, by
the cool spray of the Bridal

currents of humanity as they flow
endlessly past Clark and State
steets in Chicago, or the Flatiron

wonderful marvels, and will give
our home paper a personality
which it cannot acquire in any
other way.
