Following the publication of Dis
trict Attorney Fullen's opinion last
night, the . dice boxes were all put
away to await a final opinion from
the supreme court
The quarrels of politicians and of
fice seekers should never be allowed
to invade the domain of either public
or private 'business. Join the boosters
and forget personal aches and pains
The opinion of . Superintendent
Clark should have weight with out
side people who wish to know what
kind of schools the city of ftoswell
has before moving their families
here to make their homes with us,
Prof. Clark says there are no better
schools in the Territory, and he has
visited them all. He further says
that there are no better schools in
towns the' size of Roswell in any of
the states. There is room in the lat
ter statement, perhaps, for flattery,
as well as a lack of personal knowl
edge, but when the Territorial Super
intendent makes a comparison with
other schools of the Territory he
knows exactly what he is talking
about, and is exposed besides to ob
jection from other towns in his own
jurisdiction. He is right in the con
clusion that the people of 'Roswell
have the proper school spirit. Our
schools are being - improved every
day, and our people will not be sat
isfied until - the word superior takes
the place of equal in making compari
sons with other schools. Education is
the foundation of good government
in territory, state and nation. It
should, to some reasonable degree
be made the test of the qualification
to vote, applied to white and Mack
alike.
STATEHOOD GOES ON
THE WAITING LIST,
From Santa Fe Eagle.
The position of the Republicans in
congress on the statehood question
has at last been made plain. They
are practically united in their oppo
sition for this territory at this time,
and there is no more -reason for sup
posing that they will be for statehood
next year than there was for suppos
ing last year that they would he for
statehood this year. All of the pro
testations which have been made : by
Republicans during the past four
months that were in favor of state
hood appear to have been for. the
benefit of the marines. -
From the time , .President Roose
velt declared himself in favor of sin
gle statehood last-' October down to
within the past few days the people
of this territory have been led to be
lieve that there was a good prospect
for the passage of the statehood bill
at this session of congress. The posi
tive statements of the - delegate in
ermgress that he had the promises
oi a majority of the memters of con
gress in-support, of. the measure ap
pear to have been somewhat at var
iance with the truth.
The great majority of the Repub
licans in congress have not now, and
they have not had, the slightest in
tention of passing a statehood hill for
New Mexico. The -position of the Re
publicans in congress on this ques
tion has not materially changed in
more than twenty .years. Along in the
eighties the Republican members of
the house committee on territories
made a most scurrilous report con
cerning this territory and if s people.
and there had been no material
change in their attitude toward this
territory at the time Senator Bever
idge visited the territory a few years
ago and made his report whiph has
not yet been -t forgotten. These re
ports, one by menVbers of the house
of representatives and the other by
senators, show how the Republicans
in congress look on the people of
New Mexico. The truth is that the
Republicans in congress do not con
sider the people of New Mexico capa
ble of governing themselves. They
consider the people of this territory
little short of barbarians. The fact
that a Republican congress passed
and a Republican president signed a
Wll providing for joint statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona is proof
enough, if there were no other, that
the Republican majority in congress
does not consider New Mexico fit to
govern itself.
Now the hope is held out that the
statehood bill will be passed at the
next session of congress. This will
not fool many of the citizens f this
territory. If this congress intends to
pass a statehood bill at -all it may as
well be passed at this session as at
the next session. The statement that
it is not desirable to admit another
state before the next presidential
election is entirely too thin to de
ceive anyone. It would be just as
easy to put a provision in the bill
fixing the date of admission the first
day of next January as it would he
to provide for the admission on the
first of July. The bill might be passed
next week providing for an election
of delegates to a constitutional con
vention at the next regular election
and the state of New Mexico could
not possibly be a disturbing element
in the presidential election. If the
Republicans in this congress . intend
to pass a statehood bill for New Mex
ico, they might as well pass it now
as to wait until next year.
