Roosevelt on Statehood.
Ux-President Roosevelt again
has been a visitor to New Mexico,
and in an address at Albuquer
que said some very pleasant words
for the territory, scored the au
thorities for failing to grant New
Mexico immediate statehood aHd
spoke of many other things of
general interest. We quote as
follows from his speech:
"The national government has
been guilty of a grave wrong to
ward New Mevico in not allowing
lier to enter the uuiou. More
than that, the government has
been guilty of a serious breach of
faith with New Mexico. The
government laid down certain
uonditious for New Mexico; if she
ajTmplied with those conditions
hu was to become a state. The
promise has not been made good.
"Iwill go further and say that
It has been o less the duty of
the government to admit Arizona,
Qlit in the case of New Mexico
UiSrc was absolutely no reason
ftJf not redeeming the promise,
f Om disappointed aud chagrined
ndl to come among you today to
grafllt you as citizens of the new
state of New Mexico. But that
is uo matter; you will be a state
of the union very soon, and I
want you to make New Mexico a
state of which the whole union
will be proud. I hope you will
take your citizenship duties seri
ously. I want to see you a pro
gressive state. I am a progress
ive, and I dod't see how a man
can be a good westerner, or for
that matter a good American, if
he is not progressive. We must
all either goxforward or fall back.
It would be impossible for a great
democracy to remain great if it
did not go forward. I want you
to be progressive, but not pro
gressive with the bridle off,'
lirecchiu' work is-as necessary as
trace work. You have got to be
able to go ahead, but you also
have got to be able to hold back
when the wagon tries to run over
you going down hill.
"Mere details of the form of
ynur government are not the es
sentials, as compared to the real
essentials of honesty aud effi
ciency. A man unfit for public
office is unfit however elected,
unlit as Lorimer, elected by a
legislature is unfit, and unfit as
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma,
elected by direct vote, is unfit.
It is the duty of your citizens to
remove the the stain of such men
as these from public life.
'There are certain vital points
upon which honest men cannot
divide along party lines. They
cannot so divide when the issue
is plainly that of honesty against
dishonesty.
"When I was prrsdent if I
found a repubfican crook or a
democratic crook in office I took
off the heads of both, but gave
precedence to the crook of' my own
party, as I felt a sort of responsi
bility for him.
"I hope you of New Mexico
will take every possible step to
eliminate the use of money from
politics. You need a severe cor
rupt practices act, strongly en
forced. It is your first business
to govern yourselves, Your con
stitution is thoroughly conserva
tive; I don't think there can be
any complaint on that score.
Without a good corrupt practices
act, however, the honest man is
always at the mercy of the knave
You must have the right kind of
men behind the law. A man must
first of all be a good husband and
father, but that is not all; he
must be clean and honest in both
business aud politics; not thekih'd
of a man who has a compartment
conscience aud who is straight on
Sunday to make up for being
crooked all the week. If a ufan,
like the cow-puncher I discharg
ed on the Little Missouri, is will
ing to steal in your interest, he
will he willing to steal from you
in his own interest. You must
have representatives who can be
trusted to preserve the rights bf
the people against the corpora
tions and also to give the corrior-
ations every assurance of iRcir
legal rights."
We arc in receipt of a clter
this week from W. II. Lumbliy,
for many years a citizen of this
county. The letter was written
from Roy, Arizona, to which ad
dress he directed his paper to be
sent. He reports the death of
of a grandchild, the lS-monthl-
old baby of Mr. and Mrs 3Prhfik
Lumbley.
