New Mexico. was one Of the guests at

tary in the sheldon Thursday noon,
He spoke briefly OF the laws passed
at the recent session Of the New Mex

Talks Of League.
G Q. Chandler, president OF the
Kansas National bank. OF Wichita,
Kan, spoke of the league Of nations.
and the special interest which the
people along the border should take
in the league. Il stated when I first
visited this city, some % years ago.
that there was great future FOR Fl
Paso as the gateway TO Mexico While
the road we have Travelled as regard
to our relations with Mexico has been
rough and rocky. from time TO time.
we are sister republics and the time
is coming when the relationship VIII
be pleasant.
Il am OF the impression that E.
Paso should be very much interested
in the league OF nations. possibly
more so than people who are located
differently. You are especially inter
ested in international affairs. 7 was
impressed with what was said in re-
gard to the one word which was the

word service ] think in these times
we must think about IL also in con-
nectiOu with the community, the state
and the nation
Have Greater Vision.
Il believe the time is coming when
we must have greater vision, and the
war has given US a great vision. When
Michael Angelo. as a young palmer
submitted one OF his paintings 20 an
old master for criticism. he wrote on
il the one word, larger I think
that the one thing which the United
States must have is a larger vision.
In the league Of nations I am hoping
that we are going TO find this larger
vision. and get over our prejudice
the pet scheme OF Wilson or Taft. and
see that it is best for the world We
are not merely citizens Of FL Paso OF
Wichita or Texas or Kansas. we are
also citizens Of the great world. We
must meet this league OF nations on
a higher plane. our services to man
kind must not stop at our own back
yard. and the great question OF asso-
ciating ourselves with the nations Of
the world is a vision that must rise
above politics
Gave Good Advice.
Washington gave US the right ad-
vice at that time for our relations
with European affairs. but we were
then in our swaddling clothes But VIC
are now grown men. and we can af-
ford TO go out in the great arena and
be a great. peaceful leavening factor
