The recent interesting graduation exer-
cises at the New Mexico School for the Deaf
and Dumb in this city, and the bright little
essays by the pupils published in this paper
demonstrate how good is the work being
done by the state for the Children of Si-
lence, who are thus being enabled to over
come the terrible handicaps with which they
must confront the work of life. No less adj
mirable is the name in which the state is
helping the blind boys and girls n take a
place in the world no longer helpless and
cropping, at the School for the Blind at Ala
mcgordo, where there are now some fifty
pupils.
A helping hand to the little ones in the
Dark and the Silence-the state is doing no
nobler thing. We should moreover appre-
ciate the patience and the industry of those
who are personally engaged in the training
Of these boys and girls.

New Mexico Should Vote
For Roosevelt, Champion
OfPure Ainericanism
Albucuerdue N! Nj, May 81. 1915,
w VOTE EDITOR. Santa Fe New

Albuquerque N. Nj May 1As lSlor
STRAW VOTE EDITOR, Santa re New
Mexican.
By way Of explaining my preference for
lC6lone Theodore Hocseyelts nomination Tor
president Of the United States AT the Re
nahIican convention next June ! wish TO
| state.
First. That have been a Progressive
Republican and b Roosevelt man ever since
the party division Of 1912, and that, through
out this period Of years Roosevelt has stood
for those principles OF Righteousness and
honor id public life which have given the
Republican party the hold it has had upon
the people up to- the time of the party divl-
sion in 1912.
Second: THAT Colonel Roosevelt, more
than any other man yet mentioned in con
~nection with the nomination at the hands
of the Republican party, possesses the ne
cessary factors to unite the party, and once
nominated and elected will direct his admin
istration toward the achievement OF the
clean. open and above-board processes Of
government for which he fought through
out his previous term as president.
Third, and last: Because to New Mexico
in particular the election of Roosevelt would
mean the election Of a champion Of Ameri
canism as opposed to all forms and sorts
of hyphenates. In my humble way q
fought against this foe of Americanism all
my life. Recently one of the Albuquerque
dailies referred to me as a young Spanish
attorney" | do not know the motive that
prompted the writer to refer to me as a
HSpanish attorney" nor have ! taken the
remark to mean other than ignorance on
the part Of the writer, At any rate, it 500
years of American ancestry does net make
one an American merely because he bears a
ISpanish name, it is time that all of us who
bear Spanish names are returning to Spain.
On the other hand, if loyalty to the United
states, faith in her institutions and .devo-
ttion to her ideals are the determining FAC
tors in the selection Of a true American:
then, whether our names are Spanish OF
Irish, French, German or italian, we are all
AMERICANS. Colonel Roosevelt n Amer
icanism! Long may they hve.
Respectfully yours,
ERNEST 3. GARCIA.

AFrightful Record

There is no record in human history that
