The nominee OF the Republican party for
president OF the United States, to be chosen
at Chicago this week, should be q man who
can beat Woodrow Wilson.
A man who can beat Woodrow Wilson
means a man who can beat the forces pt
the disloyal 'hyphenateg." the peace-atany,
price contingent, the un-preparedness adYO'
Gates, the opponents of national weakness
and humiliation, those who would make Of
America a Tpolyglot boarding house. He
must be a man who can beat the element
which approves and defends the loss Of
Americas prestige among the nations,
which believes that running from duty is
the proper method to avoid war and which
is a formidable menace to the cohesion and
unity of the people of the United States as
the champion of democracy, a power 10 en-,
force peace and insure the right Of peace
full nations to freedom from aggression by
stronger powers.
The Republican party of the United States
has rarely had a greater responsibility and
a greater opportunity to serve its country
and the world.
Whether it is going to take the broad
view and do its duty, orNwhether 1t is going
to allow selfish and personal interests with
in the party to control and nominate a man
who cannot win Is the question which is to
be answered this week. The question is
whether selfsseeking Factions are going TO
try to beat Wilson, or beat Roosevelt.
The question Is. whether the Republican
leader to whom RooseyeIt's election means
a loss of political pickings and peTquisites
is willing to forego his personal interests
for the good Of his party and, his country.
The issue Is greater than merely whether
or not this or that faction controls the Re
publican party. The issue is whether or
not Americanism is to control in America.
There il one man who absolutely embodies
and personifies Americanism: he is the liv
ing voice of the spirit which has written
whatever is great and whatever Is ~illustri-I
GUS on the pages OF the history of this re-
public.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the Repub-
liean party will not put itself in the amaz-
ing position of seeking, not to name as stan
dard bearer the man whom it openly or
tacitly acknowledges to be strongest with
the people, but to prevent his nomination
We repeat that the issue is bigger than
political parties. It does not strain the
imagination to believe that we are at the
parting Of the ways SO far as the solidarity
OF this country is concerned. Theodore
Roosevelt in recent speeches has driven
that fact home with telling and impressive
force. The menace of the un-Americans is
greater perhaps than many of us realize.
Americans, the Republican party should
also realize, are likely to make the issue
greater than parties in case one of those
parties falls to give them the chance to vote
for the man who they believe should take
charge of the destinies of the nation at this
time.

a VERSATILE ACTOR

A weld known american tells the follow
ing story:
During some amateur theatricals in my
youth Littledale, one of the performers, had
to leap into the river in order to escape q
wild beast.
The stage was so arranged that the river
was invisible.
Littledale was to leap and disappear, strlk-
ing a soft mattress In the wings, and at the
same time a rock was to be dropped into q
tub of water to create a splash.
But, though the leap worked all right In
rehearsal, On the night of the actual per-
formance il went WRONG. There was neither
mattress nor tub there.
When poor Ettledale jumped he fell eight
feet and landed on an oakep floor. with a
crash loud enough to wake the dead, and
there was no splashing water to drown the
crash, BY Joyei,
The audience3 expecting TO hear p splash,
and hearing instead the thupderous impact
Of Littledale's bones upon the oak, set Up a
litter. But the heroic Littledale, equal to
the occasion. silenced them.
'Heagehsir he shouted from below, the
waters frozeniy-FitBits.

They're All On the
Way to Old Santa Fe

From the number Of requests received by
the Chamber Of Commerce the past two
weeks from summer tourists desiring sug'
gestions for sightseeing trips to the cliff
dwellings and other nearby points Of inter
est, 1t is evident that Santa re Will enjoy
this summer an unusually large tourist trat-
lie. The past week the secretary was call
ed upon to arrange accommodations Tor
three large sightseeing parties who will
spend from two to five weeks in this sec
tfon beginning the last week of this month.
The Chamber is in receipt OF advice from
the Rock Island Railway company, and
from the D. & r. G.. that a large increase in
tourist business to Santa Re over their re-
spective lines may be looked for this sum.
mer because Of the tremendous amount OF
advertising Santa Fe is receiving from spe,
cial feature matter being sent out by the
railroads. The secretary has just received
"a large supply Of attractive matter Illus
Itrative of the Santa Re region from Mr.. r.
IA. Wadleigh, passenger trafiel manager OF
the d. & r. G. Railroad company, and is adj
.yised that additional special literature pro
claiming the advantages and ATTRACTIONS OF
this region will soon be ready for distribu,
0tion. Both-t the Rock Island and the ID. 4
r. g. state that Santa Fe is in for a big
tourist business. This with the recent big
increase in the arrival Of Nealthseekers
ought to Impress upon Santa Feans the ur.
gent need Of additional hotel and housing
accommodations. We could fill this city
with healthseekerg this summer II adequate
provision for their housing and food needs
could be assured.
The committee appointed by President
Hanna of the Chamber of Commerce at the
last regular meeting, TO investigate and re-
port on tho feasibility Of erecting a sign
board at Aamy, and perhaps at other points
on The main line Of the Santa Re, will have

The Naval Battle

The first important test Of strength on
the sea between England and Germany has
not resulted, as has been confidently pre-.
dicted in the wiping out Of the Germans,
but in a heavy blow at the naval supremacy
Of Britain.
The British maintain that their control of
the sea has not been seriously crippled. 1t
is not credible however that they can lose
half a dozen large ships and a whole fleet
Of smaller ones without being thus crippled;
and much more serious than the loss Of the
ships is the loss Of 1000 seamen.i Trained
naval officers and men are not produced in
a day; securing of men for either military
or naval service grows increasingly difficult
in Britain; and most important of all IS the
demonstration Of the fact that Germany Is
able to deal such a blow to the British hayy,.
whatever the German loss. Successive re-
ports make it more and more apparent that
the damage sustained by the Teutona is far
ont Of proportion to that Of the English.
There is nothing to indicate that the Ger,
mans are not in condition to repeat the
blow. One wonders how long the British
navy viii be able to stand 1t.
II the possibility develops that Germany
can white down the British navy to the
vanishing points, a lot OF estimates about
the outcome of the great war VIII have to
be revised III Great Britain's Wanted mas
terry of the seas turns out to be a delusion,
then is she indeed fallen far from her high

New Mexico should Know the state capital.
Santa Fe Is rapidly becoming a capital OF
which the whole state can be proud. Its
business growth nerhans has not been very
important, but 1t is Improving Ia other and
more important directions. Sneers al Santa
Fe, at its muddy streets and dirty alleys,
once were common throughout New Mexico
and were Justified. But the Santa Fe 81 to.
day is q wholly different little city. It has
an the charm Of earlier days and II Is very
features which warranted the sneers.
Santa Fe has accomplished a thing that
few old towns have been equal to. It has
achieved a measure of cleanliness, santa.
ton and modern equipment without sacrl-
fee Of pi~ctnresqfesness and with the loss Of
none of its important historical attractions.
Paved streets over a considerable part of
the town have removed the mud and much
OF the duty Of other days. Green lawns are
tho rule, new, rather than the exception. The
grounds Of the state capitol have been made
really beautiful Grass and flowers sur
round all Of the institutions. Santa Fe,
briefly, is rapidly being transformed from a
plain adobe town into a wonderful attract
i've little residence city; a state capital that
every New Mexican can visit with pride.
Add to this a scenic setting as fine as any
in the world and it becomes very wellSWorth
knowing.
1t is surprising how many New Mexicans
have never visited the state capital, which
rapidly increasing numbers Of tourists are
coming across the continent to see. 1t will
be more surprising, if Santa tFe continues

A New Mexico Course

The University of New Mexico has started
something worth while in ~inaugurating a
course in New Mexicana" at that institu.
ton. The idea is to give the student q
practical knowledge of bis own state and its
resources and opportunities.
We wonder how many young men in this
state who have received a college education
can tell an inquirer right off the bat how
much the mineral production Of the state
amounts to, or the population of Taos, or
the npmberlof silos In Curry county, or the
annual output Of the Chino Copper company,
or the total area Of irrigated land in the
state; the amount Of standing timber in
New Mexico. the area of the national for
ests, the annual flow of the Rio Grande,
what was the Peralta-Reavis case, how
many Judicial districts there are in the
state, the alfalfa production OF the Pecos
valley. the extent OF the public lands, what
business opportunities Gallup or Clayton
offers? How many Santa Fe young men
would locate Carrizozo and Alamogordo due
south Of Santa Fe, Las Vegas and part OF
Union county southeast and Gallup nearly
directly west? How many can name the
county seats Of twenty-six counties; how
many can name all the counties; how many
can,dfrect q new settler to the best region
for growing Irish potatoes or tell him the
number of cattle in the state?
1t is D fact that large numbers of US, and
not alone the young men and the newcom-
eTs are afflicted with sublime ignorance of
What we have In our own state, The Uni
versity idea ought to be followed out more
consistently in the public schools. Let's
have a new generation of citizens which is
properly posted on the possibilities and the
actua1ities Of what we hope will one day be
the greatest state in the west.

What citizen, native born or n~aturalized,
the some OF immigrants recently. arrived Or
long ago established in the United States,
can dissent from the words uttered by Col
Roosevelt at st. Louis yesterday? Certainly
no partisanship shaped the message he
there delivered; he addressed himself to
all, seeking by no ~allusion or omission to
reap for himself political or personal adVan-
tage from his championship of ulhyphen-
ated loyalty. He was at pains to record
that Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Root, popularity
classified as his rivals in certain minor af-
fairs Of life, were, like him, the objects OF
attack from those who have missed the In

It may be said that Colonel Rooseyelt's

fortunately, it has been disclosed since
August of 1914 that the primary problems
of Americanization do call for discussion
and exposition. Among tho citizens of the
United States are some whose devotion is
single to the nation to which they give
nomihal allegiance. They have not freed
themselves of other Royalties. They seek to
turn their citizenship to the service Of 9th,
