MORE SUPPORT FOR STATEHOOD.
The Silver City Independent, the
ablest and fairest Democratic paper
In the Territory, has joined the state
hood movement, and that In good
style. This is In refreshing contrast
with the policy of the Democratic
papers In the Pecos valley In south
eastern New Mexico, with the Daily
Democratic sheet at Roswell at the
head. These papers are either openly
opposed or underhandedly against the
proposition. There are a few other
Democratic papers throughout the
Territory that are in the same cate
gory and they are led by the Albu
querque morning paper. The Inde
pendent puts itself on record editori
ally In its last issue in the following:
"In the interest of single statehood
leagues should be formed throughout
the county in every precinct. The first
suggestion as to this form of organi
zation to further single statehood
emanated from our esteemed fellow
citizen, Hon. Robert Black of this
city. When the subject was first in
troduced and it was known that Presi
dent Roosevelt favored the idea, Mr.
Black wrote Colonel Max. Frost and
suggested leagues as the best method
to bring about the desired result
an unbiased opinion of the voters of
New Mexico irrespective of party and
party affiliations on this all important
subject. Who will be the first to move
in the matter in Silver City?
"The statehood movement is gain
ing ground rapidly throughout the
length and breadth of the Territory.
The recent visit of Governor Curry to
Roswell and adjacent country was met
with an ovation in the broadest sense
of the term-an ovation to an old citi
zen, a resident of former das, who
unaided and by the force of his in
dividual energy has raised himself
to the highest office in the Terri
tory; an ovation to the chief executive
whose individual help and influence
center in single statehood, and a trib
ute of respect and love irrespective
of party creed or affiliation, to the
man who has placed New Mexico clos
er to the sisterhood of states than
any other individual now residing in
the Territory.
"Statehood is all that we need to
become one of the most thickly popu
lated districts in the west, and state
hood will develop a territory rich in
mineral resources, an area m the
broad domain of the United States
which has no equal in point of diversi
fied mineral, agricultural and horticul
. i ,.,..oo oa nnr own New Mex-
lurai reauiuno ,
ico Immigration is constantly adding
to our population, ami wu
we will double our present population
in two years. It is to be regretted
that Governor Curry's itinerary pre
vented him from visiting Silver City
during the present month. Assur
ances, however, are not wanting that
v. nvAr will visit Silver City in
the near future, and during his lsit
he will be the recipient of many cour
tesies and attentions from the people
as governor of New Mexico, as Cap
tain Curry of the Rough Riders, and
many a warm greeting from old-time
friends who knew him in other days
as plain George Curry, a representa
tive citizen of New Mexico."
UNCLE SAM'S GREAT PENSION
SYSTEM.
The peoplcTof the United States
are the most generous of all the na
tions on earth in taking good care
of the soldiers and sailors who fought
their battles and served their coun
try in the hour of its need. The great
military nations of Europe have pen
sion systems that are well developed
and have existed for many years, but
none of them compare in generosity,
in liberality, and in justice to
Uncle Sam's pension system, ine
amount paid out annually is tremen
. dous but the people grudge it not,
quite the reverse, they are willing to
increase it by millions and bil
lions and as long as necessary that
the men who saved the Union and up
held the flag of the country since
1860 may feel that their services are
fully appreciated and that the na
tion regards them with gratitude and
with a kindly feeling. The New
York Commercial in considering the
pension appropriations tells an inter
esting editorial tale:
"A decrease In the number of pen
sioners without a decrease, propor
tionately or actually, in the disburse
ments for pensions is one of those
things which excite a healthful curi
osity and Inquiry.' When an actual
increase in the value of the pension
roll is noted along with a decrease in
the number of pensioners on that roll,
we all become Missourtans with a
prompt 'show me.'
"The actual figures in the annual
report of the commissioner of pen
sions show the greatest falling-off of
pensioners for any year, or an aggre
gate of 18,000 less than at the
close of the previous fiscal year. The
number on the roll June 30 last was
the smallest since 1893 and amounted
to 967,371. The annual value of the
pension roll at that date amounted to
$140,830,880, and this was $4,613,131
greater than on the corresponding
date in 190C. During the last fiscal
year there were additions to the roll
new pensioners, restorations and re
newalsof 31,034 persons, which was
less than the death losses among sur
vivors of the civil war alone.
"The apparent phenomenon of an In
creasing fund and a decreasing list
h of simple explanation. Of special
causes therefor is the act of Febru
ary 6 increasing the rate of pensions.
Of general causes, operative at all
times, there are the belated applica
tions of those entitled to pensions by
veterans of the civil war, carrying ar
rears of pension, and by their widows.
Many of these pensioners are reluct- i
ant to apply for government aid un
til forced to , do so by personal or
family misfortune.
"Under all the circumstances It is
Idle to look for any great decrease in
the amount of pension disbursements
for years to come. From this time on ''
there will be great losses by death
among the survivors of the civil war
and their dependent widows; and in!
the days of the next generation it is
probable that the pension amounts
will show a material decrease, but
hardly until then."
FIVE STRONG REASONS.
Five strong and indisputable reasons
why New Mexico Is entitled to state
hood are given by the Socorro Chief
tain in a recent issue. These are con
vincing and should be read far and
wide. The Chieftain says:
"New Mexico is entitled to state
hood by virtue of n promlso made in
the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that
she should be granted statehood soon.
For sixty years she has been wait
ing for that promlso to be fulfilled.
"Now Mexico is entitled to state
hood because In times of the nations
great need she has furnished more
loyal troops in proportion to her pop
ulation than were furnished by any
state in the union.
"New Mexico is entitled to state
hood because there dwell within her
borders more than three hundred
thousand law-abiding, patriotic, intelli
gent, and progressive Americans who
would be a credit to any great com
monwealth in the land.
"New Mexico Is entitled to state
hood because of her loyalty to the
principles of that great political party
under whoso direction our country has
reached heights of achievement un
dreamed of by the Americans of fifty
years ago.
"New Mexico is entitled to state
hood by every principle or right and
justice and she looks to the Sixtieth
Congress of the United States to apply
those principles in her behalf."
The people of New Mexico must not
take things for granted if they would
secure statehood for the Snnsine Ter
ritory In the coming year. President
Roosevelt is very friendly to the pro
ject and will help along wherever
possible, but strong contrary senti
ment existing in the East will have
to be overcome in the COth Congress.
Therefore united and strong efforts on
the part of the people of the territory
will be absolutely necessary to bring
about success. Considerable in that
line has already been done with U. S.
senators and members of the House
of Representatives of the coming Con
gress by Delegate W. II. Andrews,
while Governor George Curry and oth
er leaders have devoted themselves so
far strenuously to "getting the people
together" at home.
BRYAN WILL BE A CANDIDATE.
While he will be a candidate
Colonel William Jennings Bry
an is swinging around the country
talking to the people and giving them
to understand that he does not con-
template in any manner being a can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency next year, his rela
tives and friends especially in the
states that during the past ten years
at one time or another went Popu
II stic, are very busy laying wires and
putting up jobs to secure delegates
favorable to advance Colonel Bryan's
ambition for the nomination and pay
ing no attention to his denials and
assertions that he will not be a can
didate. The New York Evening Sun is "onto"
the scheme, and tells what is going
on in the colonel's own state in Ne
braska In the matter. Says the Sun:
"While Colonel Bryan is busy talk
ing in the east Thomas Allen, of Lin
coln, his brother-in-law,, who Is also
chairman of the Nebraska state Dem
ocratic committee, has come out with
the following statement:
" 'Certainly Mr. Bryan will be a can
didate for the Democratic nomination.
He hasn't made much of a secret of
his Intentions along that line.' '
"Was it in the bosom of the family
or In political circles that the Thomas
Jefferson of the twentieth century
was so frank Whatever the circum
stances under which the great man
declared his intentions, there can be
no doubt that by this time he has
come to the conclusion that the Dem
ocratic nomination is a good thing
to have in the house, and that It is
very unreasonable to assume that the
temporary interruption in his private
ownership of the same interfered to
any real extent with his proprietorship."
The question of statehood is at
tracting attention all over the coun
try and there is much advice given
the people of the territory some of it
good and some of It not so good. The
following from the Pueblo Chieftain
is rather good:
"Encouraged by presidential favor,
the people of the territory, some of it
ceeding actively toward ' separate
statehood. It is doubtful whether the
passage of an enabling act can be se
cured at the next session of Congress,
and there are some reasons for be
lieving that the best plan would be to
call a constitutional convention and
present a ready made constitution to
Congress for its approval." ,

The Bureau of Forestry Is doing
some good work on the national for
ests in New Mexico. However, the
greatest good that the service could
bring about would be the construc
tion of the Scenic Highway between
this city and Las Vegas across the
Pecos river national forest. This
highway would- open up to tourists,
to travelers, to persons seeking
health, rest and recreation during the
spring and summer of each year the
most magnificent mountain country
and the best health giving climate on
God'3 green earth. Chief Gifford Pin
ohot of the Bureau of Forestry while
in New Mexico should not fail to
make a. careful and thorough inspec
tion of the Pecos river national for
est and Its many scenic beauties with
a viov to posting himself thoroughly
and helping to obtain the speedy con
struction, of the Scenic Highway by
the forestry service.
Five years ago there were not a
half dozen settlers within a radius of
ten miles of the town of Moriarty In
the northern part of the Estancia
valley. Today there are over 200
homestead settlers there which means
that over 30,000 acres of public land
have been entered, a large portion of
which will be devoted to agriculture
and live stock raising purposes. Part
of this section is in Santa Fe county,
The business there is constantly in
creasing and the merchants of this
city should look after it. It is but
their own fault if they do not se
cure it.
It is high time that the United
States fulfilled the solemn treaty obli
gation entered Into with Mexico 59
years ago and give statehood to New
Mexico. Commenting upon this the
El Paso Herald truthfully says:
"It is 59 years since the United
States government, by the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, solemnly prom
ised with respect to New Mexico:
'The inhabitants of the ceded' terri
tory shall be incorporated in the union
of the United States, and admitted as
soon as possible, according to the
principles of the federal constitution,
to the enjoyment of all the rights, ad
vantages, and immunities of citizens
of the United States.' It is time the
Republican party were fulfilling this
pledge."

The Washington Post calls atten
tion to the following important omis
sion in the Oklahoma constitution:
"The Oklahoma constitution also
fails to stipulate that true O Idaho
mans shall not eat pie with a knife."
President Roosevelt is of the opin
ion that a census will have to be tak
en in New Mexico and Arizona before
statehood can be. given the two ter
ritories. No one objects to the cen
sus, as in many ways this would be
a great benefit provided it were tak
en accurately and rapidly and New
Mexico were to be admitted in time
to vote for the next presidential elec
tion. The people of the Territory
would very much like to cast their
ballot for the Republican candidate
for the presidency and elect four Re
publican electors to the electoral college.
The wool growers and sheep rais
ers of New Mexico are prosperous.
They Bhould give due credit for this
to two agencies. One of them Is
providence and the other Is the protec
tion policy of the Republican party.
