BOTH ARE NEEDED

1t is generally admitted that one
of the necessities Of the future is
a well-built military highway from
the northern border to FL Paso,
through New Mexico, with present
indications pointing to an early con.
s~truction of the route. The road will
enter New Mexico through the Ration
pass, but from there south there is
considerable difference of opinion as
to the best route for the great high
way.
The state now has a highway fol
lowing the Santa Fe practically
the way to FL Paso, and will i'm
prove the same until it will serve
every purpose for which it was in
tended, but we are of the opinion
that the conditions not only warrant
but make imperative, the construc-
ton of the two proposed routes
through New Mexico. The present
great highway should be improved
until it is capable OF handling an
immense traffic, but it will never
he of sufficient capacity and a more
dir ect route can easily be secured,
A road going almost directly south
from Ration will strike the line OF
the Ell Paso & Southwestern and then
bear west directly into FL Paso. Civ
ing a shorter route, making the high
way practically double track" and
will at the same time open up a
country sure to be of the greatest
importance in providing both feed
and forage.
This is practically the route insist
ed upon by w. A. Hawkins last win
ter when discussing the proposed
military highway, and SO far as we
can see it would be a good idea
to let Mr.. Hawkins have his way
about it and run the east branch
of the military road through that
way. The state would then have two
important highways, the government
would have the use and benefit of
both, and a new empire would be
developed within this state.
Compromise by building both roads.

(This city has increased its popu-
lation by 100000 fighting men in the
three years of the wary.
Here still the withered lilies lie
Upon each breast;
And over all a peaceful sky,
In azure dressed;.
No storm of night that hurries by
May leave the whisper of a sigh,
No echo of the battle cry
May break their rest.
The big guns roar above them still,
By day and night;
The red flames flash by dune and hill
In endless blight;
But as the gray-dusk shadows fill
Their Quiet Town, at twlight's chill,
They sleep, as all worn children will,
On through the fight.
Here still the many come to weep,
To kneel and pray;
To cry to God in anguish deep
For life's lost day;
Yet, who would wake them from their
sleep.
Would call them back where life's
storms sweep,
Dream-dwellers, where the grasses
creep
Across the way?

bune.

would not be surprising If this crack
military organization should embark
for France without further training.
1t has been aptly called the pride
of New Mexico" by reason of its
great efficiency in drill and man

commanding, spent a number of years
in the Swiss army and is well inform

the value of discipline, and his men
also know it. When these men get
into the real game, they will play it
SO as to reflect credit upon New
