The border vidette., 1919-02-22

People of Hermosillo, Sonora s capital, and GuaymaS, on the bay, have maintained their in ternational reputation as prince of entertainers. Fhe NogaleS Boosters who have just visited those towns on their way to the West Coast of Mexico, will all testify to that fact.
 The Chamber of Commerce trade excursionist, two Pullman carloads, with diner and baggage cars, got away from the border soon after noon, last Wednesday, in their special train, which was in charge of Colonel Ben Ash by, |, the vetern passenger conductor.
 This is the first time many ot the excursionists have visited the wonderful country to the south of us, and that all are having a great time goes with out saying. Bracey Curtis, Dr. Gustetter, Bill Haley, Joaquin Legarra, Alan Gillespie Joe Wise, Harry Karns, Ferd. Van Mourick, and others of that mo- ble bunch of boosters, will see to it that there are no dull moments on the long trip, and if any fail to have a good time-well, it served them right. It was there for them.
 In his speech at Hermosillo, in response to Governor Gales address of welcome to the Mo- gales boosters. Hon. Frank J. Barry, of this city, said:
 Ut is not necessary for us to tell you how heartily we appre ciate the generous welcome you have given us. For many of us this is the first visit to your splendid icountry. All our lives we had heard and read wonder fal tales of Mexico and there had developed in our imagina- tion visions of romance and glory and dazzling splendor. Now that we have seen your country we are amazed at it's peerless beauty. it's vast stores of developed and undeveloped wealth; but most of all our hearts have been captured by the charm and hospitality of it's pSOplS. w . hho UOtIC IOudu- tic Mexico fully equal to the ideals we cherished and up to our expectations in glory and beauty and richness; and now we all agree that this has been the most delightful and satis- flying journey of our lives.
 We come tc visit you not as strangers but as neighbors. An imaginary line separates the ter ritory which is designated in the geographies as your country from the land which is called America; but there is no bound ary line, not even an imaginary one, between your ideals and ours, your aspirations and ours, your destiny and ours. We are cherishing the same principles. You believe as we believe that all men are created equal. You have repudiated the theories of monarchic government just as we have, and both of us believe in the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness. We both believe, in the language of great American, Abraham Lincoln, in govern ment of the people, by the peo pie, and for the people,
 And so being thus neighbors in geographical location and be- lieving as we do in the same fundamental political principles, why can we not also be neigh bors in feeling and in interest? l We visitors from America want l to be your neighbors in every | sense. We should have no mis- understandings, no differences. ! Are we not neighbors on this l great American continent, hemisphere dedicated by fate to | Liberty and human justice? l And, neighbors. Liberty knows ! no geography. It is from hea ven. No monarch, no nation, no power has the right to fix it's limits. It is your most cherish, ed ideal as it is ours. You have split your blood in it's cause as have we, and neither you or we shall ever deny to Liberty the home made for her by blood and sacrifice on this continent.
 This continent, your land and our land, is the land of the future. With it's resources and it's peoples fate has marked it as the home of the greatest civili
