LET IT RUHAIN NEW rtBXICO.
Many have made the sugges
tion and some ha7c grown elo
quent over the proposition that,
in the event of statehood, the
new state should assume another
name. Some have suggested the
name of Lincoln, to which we
would interpose no objection, if
we were nameless, while various
other name have heen mentioned,
all with the idea of getting away
from the name of a foreign coun
try. It is urged by these advo
cates that such a proposition
would give us strength in the
cast, where, it is said, many pco
pie still consider our territory a
part of Mexico; and, therefore, a
prejudice has been created in the
minds of that people,
Aside from the sentiment that
is interwoven with the name of
New Mexico, let us sec if that sec
tion of the country is justified in
condemning us for the derivation
of the name.
New Hampshire took its name
from an English county, which,
for the sake of brevity, is now
called Hants; New York from
the Duke of York, after the Eng
lish had dislodged the Dutch;
New Jersey from the Island of
Jersey; Delaware from an Eng
lisc lord; Marylund from Maria,
the wife of Charles I of England;
Virginia from Queen Elizabeth;
the Caraliuas from Caroline, an
other English queen; Georgia
from George II of Enu-land, and
Louisiana from Louis 'Lc Grand"
of France. Besides these names,
wc have mauv others that have
been transported across thcoccuu,
aud the states that have so long
borne these names, apparently,
have not considered them a bur
den. In fact, almost, if not
quite, every stute in the union has
a name bearing some foreign or
local significance, aud they can
not, with uuy degree of justice,
object to our retention of New
Mexico because it is a foreign
derivation.
New Mexico was occupied by
the bold Spanish adventurers
long before Jumestown was found
ed, or the lauding was made at
Plymouth Rock; settlements were
csiaousiieu ana tue pioneers un
derwent untold hardships. It
became a part of the United
plates sixty years ago; the Anglo
Saxon has been boru aud has
grown gray-headed here; thou
sands of people aud millions of
le and millions of dollars
have come to the territory of New
Mexico, continue to make this
their home, aud will remain when
wc become the state of New Mex
ico, Those of the east, who stay
away because of our name, are
welcome to remain in those states
which have derives their names
irom some old world islaud,
county, king, queen or duke, but
so fur ay wc arc concerned the
name of New Mtxico suits us, and
should wc ever become a state,
which is undoubtedly some dis
tance in the future, New Mexico
will do us then. New Mexico is
good enough.
