MONUMENT TO THE COLORADO
VOLUNTEERS.
A monument erected by the state of
Colorado in honor and in memory of
the volunteers of the s'tate during the
Civil war was unveiled with appropri
ate ceremonies last Wednesday in the
capital grounds at Denver. It Is ded
icated to the volunteers of the then
territory of Colorado who fought suc
cessfully and preserved to a great ex
tent what is now New Mexico to the
Union.
The Denver Republican in referring
to the occasion gives a fully deserved
and high compliment to the valor
and brave services of the Colorado
volunteers, and commenting upon the
unveiling of the monument says that
the occasion was one of great interest
not alone to the survivors who partic
ipated in that service, but also to ev
ery one who appreciates the highly
important part which the men of Col
orado took In preserving the union.
Colorado was then but a territory.
It was sparsely settled, and it might
have beeu excused if, remaining In Its
remoteness and Isolation, it had failed
to do anything of moment in the years
of civil strife. It had no railroad con
necting It with the Missouri river, and
it was so far removed from the seat
of war that the conflict might well
have seemed to some of its people
almost like a war between foreign
countries.
The need of action became appar
ent, however, when a Confederate,
force came from Texas into New Mexi
co with a view to cutting off that
territory from connection with the
union and ultimately of reaching Cali
fornia. To the Co'cvad ) troops belongs the
credit of defeating this force. The
Confederates were met In a bloody
battle and driven back. Their attempt
to come north into this part of the
country failed, and they were forced
to retreat into Texas. What might
have been the result If they had come
as far north as Denver and taken pos
session of this city Is a matter of con
jecture; but it would have least have
gained for the Southern cause great
prestige, and the whole Pacific coast
would have been placed In jeopardy.
To the soldiers of Colorado all
praise 13 due for their heroic defense
of the Rocky Mountain region In sup
port of the union, and the people of to
day will honor themselves by honor
ing the memory and the achievement
of these brave men.
ARIZONA'S DOG IN THE MANGER
POLICY.
Arizona newspapers are somewhat
unreasonable and not at all logical In
their treatment of the question of
statehood for the Sunshine Territory.
They are indulging in dog In the
manger methods, which can do Ari
zona no possible good and will not
hurt the chances of statehood for New
Mexico, They should stop prating
about the joint statehood question.
That is dead and beyond resurrection.
The matter of statehood for New Mex
ico is now on top and will receive at
tention at the hands of the COth Con
gress and it looks as If the action of
that body would bo favorable.
Should New Mexico become a state
in 1908 'this can and will redound to
the benefit of Arizona as its represen
tatives in the national congress will
vole to admit Arizona as speedily as
this question can be reached. Should
New Mexico's ambition he defeated
this can not redound in any way to the
benefit of Arizona. Hence the people
of that territory and the newspapers
there should adopt the sensible and
timely policy of supporting New Mex
ico's claims for statehood and help
with might and ma'q in that direction.
The following editorial from the
Bisbee Review does not breathe the
THE PAPER TRUST SHOULD RE
SMASHED.
The American Publishers' Associa
tion has commenced operations against
the oppression and exactions of the
American paper trust which has for
many years robbed the people and the
newspapers by extorting high prices
for white paper and its other products
and by charging in most instances one
hundred percent and more profit
for its manufactures. If the news
papers of the country were
to stand together upon this
question In the manner they
should and ought to and in next year's
election were to oppose every candi
date to the U. S. Senate or the na
tional House of Representatives who
would not agree to favor legislation
to smash the paper trust the desired
and certainly very necessary result
would be speedily attained. The paper
trust would be smashed and the rob
beries in this respect that have been
so Ions practiced by the trust would
come to an end. Tho time has arrived
for concerted and energetic action on
the part of the newspapers of the
country.
Now If Speaker "Uncle Joe" Cannon
will help the people of New Mexico
in their flht for statehood he will be
sure of their good will and friend
ship for time to come. The New Mexi
can violates no confidence in asserting
that the two members of the National
House of Representatives who will be
elected from the state of New Mexico
in November 1908 will bo Republicans
and will vote for "Uncle Joe" for
speaker of the House of Representa
tives of the Gist Congress provided
New Mexico Is admitted and Mr. Can
non is re-elected in his Illinois dis
trict of which latter Providence per
mitting there is no doubt. Now Uncle
Joe bo good to us.
The people of Kansas City feel
chagrined because President Roosevelt
did not take a steamboat ride on the
Missouri river and visit their town.
The complaint does not seem to be
well founded. The president Is not

"THE FIRST GOOD CHANCE."
The Albuquerque morning yellow
sheet under the heading, "The First
Good Chance" editorially states that
the present Is the first good chance
New Mexico has ever had for admis
sion into the Union. As usual the sheet
is either ignorant of the history of the
movement for admission of the terri
tory into the sisterhood of Btates or
it indulges in Its favorite pastime of
fibbing., The best chance New Mexico
ever had to get into the union up to
date was in 1876 when Colorado was
admitted and when the enabling act
for New Mexico had passed both
houses of Congress but was finally
lost In conference committee on ac
count of an ill-fated remark made by
the then Delegate Stephen B. Elklns
which exasperated the Democratic
members of the conference committee
and the bill died at the last moment
of the session of Congress of that
year. In the same editorial the sheet
make remarks about the Bursum
Frost-Andrews gang. That is of no
consequence except that It is well tt
state that the "gang," everyone of
them, has done yoemen and efficient
work 'or Republican success, for Re
publican party principles and for the
best interests of the people of the ter
rltory while the Albuquerque yellow
cheet and the knockers behind it were

ing the well being of the peope of
the territory as well as assailing th?
fair fame and besmirching the repu
tation of New Mexico. These facts are
too well established to need argu
ment or discussion. They are perfectly
well known to everyone acquaint
ed with the political and ad
ministrative , history of New Mexico
for the past five years and for many
before that time.
