reting out these violations and bring'
Ing the guilty parties to Justice. But
the people do object to being maligned
and held up to the country as being
corrupt and dishonest because
there are violations of law
and illegal acts alleged against
a few Individuals, most of
them non-residents of New Mexico.
Let justice and right prevail and pun
ish the guilty, but do not punish the
people of New Mexico by maligning
them by circulating false reports and
untrue accusations against them
throughout the country and through
out the land.
THE OPPOSITION TO STATEHOOD, fenders against the church and mor
It has been apparent for some'allty b? Rev- Robert M. Patterson, a
weeks and ever since the return of
Governor George Curry from his visit
to the president that there is a small
faction in New Mexico opposed to
the admission of the territory as a
state within 1908. This combination
consists partly of a few federal offic
ials who fear the loss of office if New
Mexico should be represented in the
U. S. Senate by two senators. There
are also a few fake reformers who
see nothing good In the territory, its
people and its laws; some of these
may be honestly mistaken but the
greater number of them is opposed
for revengeful, personal and shameful
reasons. There are a few others who
are against the project because they
are afraid some citizens whom they
fear, or hate or envy may come to
the front in the new state and secure
important political offices. There are
a few newspapers who have joined
this faction, mostly for reasons of
venom and greed. None of the com
, bine, men or newspapers, have as yet
come out in open and courageous op
position. So far they have been beat
ing about the brush and have content
ed themselves with insinuations, ru
mors, reports, veiled allusions, impli
cations and inunendoes.
Referring to this sort of business
the Las Vegas Optic uses the proper
language in a recent editorial in which
the Optic comments upon editorial ut
terances in the columns of the Albu
querque morning paper concerning
the statehood movement. The Optic
says:
"A reading of an editorial in yester
day's Albuquerque Journal leaves us
in some doubt as to the position of that
paper on the statehood question, but
the article strikes us as a rather ex
cellent example of what Pope called
damning with faint praise. The writer
with one breath tells us that we must
rise superior to party and faction and
stand together as one man in favor of
statehood, and then proceeds to take
a shot at everyone prominently con
nected with the movement. Yes, says
the Journal, statehood Is a fine thing,
but it is too bad that all those in favor
of It are thieves and grafters, except,
of course, ourselves.
"It strikes us that this is a strange
way of promoting that harmony that
the Journal professes to favor. Call
ing Governor Curry a democrat, at
tacking the motives of all those prom
inently connected with the present
movement, styling them public plund
erers, saying that we must hunt the
'little joker' hidden in the present
plans, these things hardly seem con
sistent with the plea that we must all
'rise superior to party and faction.'
Evidently the Journal cannot take its
own medicine. It has become so used
to gazing down a tar barrel and think
ing it heaven that it has come to be
lieve the sky is black. As an expo
nent of the 'I am holier than thou,'
method it has the ancient Pharisee
left at the post. Really, if that paper
would forget some of Its old animosi
ties, realize for a moment that not all
the honesty in New Mexico is confin
ed within its editorial walls, and try
for a while sincerity instead of hypo;
crlcy. It could improve in the public
estimation and do much good for the
territory.
"Up in this part of New Mexico we
really want statehood. We see no
reason to doubt the motives of those
who are willing to help get it, and
even If we did we would welcome
their aid. Wrangling and backbiting
never accomplished anything in this
world and never will."
THE WORLD IS MOVING.
In these advanced days In the 20th
century it seems to be an anomaly
and a very grevious one at that to
find a man brought up as a minister of
the Christian denomination and serv
ing as such who could or woud advo
cate the punishment of people who
do not believe as he does and who he
thinks are blasphemers and heretics
by the rack, tortures of the inquisition
and by burning at the stake. Yet
strange to say a creature in human
form who . holds such opinions and
who wears the ministerial garb Is still
found and even In the United States,
the most progressive, the most en
lightened and the most tolerant coun
try on earth.
It seems that in the case in point
one Rev. Robert M. Patterson figures.
Referring to his case the Kansas City
Journal diseases it properly and sen
minister well known throughout the
East. Dr. Patterson was one of the
speakers at the regular weekly Pres
byterian ministers of Philadelphia not
long ago and his subject was John
Calvin. That he is quite In accord
with the most austere doctrine ofi
Calvinism was shown when he said:
A COGENT AND STRONG REASON.
The Socorro Chieftain advances a
very cogent and strong reason why the
Republican COth Congress should
grant statehood to New Mexico at the
earliest possible moment. The reason
ing should certainly have weight and
influence in the consideration of the
question in the national capital. Says
the Chieftain:
"Statehood for New Mexico seems
to be almost within reach. President
Roosevelt has promised Governor
Curry to aid the movement for state
hood and that means a mighty influ
ence in the territory's favor. There are
powerful political reasons why other
Republican leaders should pursue the
same course. One of the most potent
of these reasons is found in the fact
that the new state of Oklahoma will
add two senators and several repre
sentatives to the Democratic forces In
