ANNEXING EL PASO.
Sonic time, ago it was said that un
less New Mexico annexed El Paso, El
Paso would annex New Mexico. There
is no longer any hope or danger of
either occurring for El Paso's antag
onistic attitude toward Kew Mexico's
most important interests has killed all
desire for the two to be under one
government, aside from the fact that
El Paso in New Mexico would prob
ably make this commonwealth Demo
cratic. But there is historical reason
for the eastern boundary of New Mex
ico running straight down to tha
TUo Grande or at least for following
the Pecos to the Rio Grande. Speak
ing of the early days when El Paso
was de facto part of this common
wealth, the El Paso Herald says:
"It was impossible for Texas of
ficials to reach El Paso to attempt to
administer the laws. Only troops
crossed the country between here and
San Antonio in those days. El Paso
was an important point on the border
inasmuch as all the business between
Santa Fe and Mexico was carried on
over the border at El Paso. Santa Fe
was the headquarters for all the troops
west of the Mississippi river at that
time and was virtually the center of
government for the great unexplored
region that lay in the path of advanc
ing civilization headed for the Pacific.
Customs law had to be enforced be
tween the two countries and the Unit
ed States had to have officials at the
Port of Paso del Norte, so they were
appointed and sent out to Franklin.
These officials had to Tip under some
authority with whom they could com
municate, and, it being impossible to
place them under the collector at Gal
veston, Texas, the only other customs

A SANE FOURTH.
The New Mexican lias advocated a
sane Fourth of .Inly celebration for
years past, in place oi pig races,
squaw races, fire crackers and a lot of
noise ir would substitute patriotic ora
tions and programs, a historic pageant
I that could be made unique on account
of the rich traditions of this city and
the varied costumes of the peoples
that have lived in and around it the
I past three centuries. It is certain
I that such a pageant, would attract hun-
' dreds and eventually thousands from
all pans of the territory while the
customary racket does not draw one
tenth that many and drives the aver
age citizen into the canons or the
woods to escape it.
All over the country, just at this
time, the anticipation of the Fourth of
July is felt in schools and homes as
well as in business. The "sane
Fourth" idea has made a deep impres
sion in every state and in every city,
and it is safe to say that pageants
and parades and rational public cele
brations of the day will be more gen
eral this year than ever before.
H. T. McConnell in the June num
ber of Popular Mechanics suggests
methods of celebrating adaptable to
both small towns and largo cities.
Pageants are the chief feature in. all
such celebrations, and a number of il
lustrations show how floats may be at
tractively decorated. He says:
"There is no limit to the variety
of ideas for getting up floats. Every
community has its traditions and its
history, and almost all have their
special industries. Every town of any
size has a number of fraternal and
civic or military organiza-
valley may develop into a good pro
ducing alfalfa section in the course

A famous Presbyterian minister, a
man of culture, energy and good sense,
undertook to edit the Pasadena Star
for one day and he concluded his
day's task with the following valedic
tory :
"My time is now almost up as I pen

I am reminded of the memorable
words, 'The earth was without form

The leadership is the result of
forces which operate in and out of
Congress. Length of service in an
elective office is usually evidence that
the man thus honored is able to carry
