RARE CONTACT IN NEW MEXICO

New MeXicans returning from
Europe with its mixture Of races and
consequent race hatredS find In the re-
lntions of the Spanish-American AMI
Anglo-American people of the state II
refreshing relief from such antipathy.
phere is no race question In New Mex
leo though the population Is about
evenly divided between two races
speaking different tongues. II is not
too much to say that the Anglo-SaXon
and the native Of New Mexico have set
an unique example 10 the world. The
Spanish-American has lived under free
institutions for sixty years and has no
desire whatever left in him to league
himself with Mexlcans still lost in igno-
rance and mystery through inability to
master the principles Of free govern

pos If lifting the burden from the peon
of the unhappy country has the en-
dorsement of the liberal and progress
sivc Spanish-Americnn leaders, who
have lost none Of the pride of the race
of conquerOrs on that account
Along the border we come into con.
tact with Mexican Immigrants. are
apt to form hut poor opinion of our
own citizenship. especially those of MS
that come from the south and west
where confused contact Is made with
inferior races. We do not fully appre-
ciutc the great progress and the sturdy
character of large number Of our ma

hr Iioud. Largely they are hi!lnrn.
but lar more nlelliern and progressive
than the hillmcn of parts Of our rpia-
try Inhabited by Anglo-SaXons Of pdi

We speak lightly of political corrdp-
ton among Spanish-Americans Of the
state. but we know that the most cor
rupt leaders are not of that race; in
fact. IL has been demonstrated time and
time again that the average native vo-
Ter. will vote right when he has the
light To guide him. He may have -
long way to travel in the way of dem
ocratic government. but he is an apt
pupil and best of all his heart is set ON
the attainment Of that freedom when
his race has never known. We cannot
do better than forego our usual eNem-
plification Of assumed racial superiOri-
ty aud lend him our aid rather than
speak Sneerlngly of his shortcomings.

ment. but he, as well as Starr appealed
TO the supreme court
In their briefs the attorneys assert

Indictment saws the killing was commit
