WHY SUPERIOR?
Admiral Dewev declares lb at
the Ameiicau Navy is nioretlian
ft match for that of Germany oe
causc f the superior intelligence
of our men.
The modern warship is a won
deitul aggregation of mechanical
andwientific devices lor working
and fighting Oie ship. To the
ordinary observer these are com
plex and intricate, and viewed in
their entirety they doubtless are.
To the trained "manipulator they
are simple enough. He has mas
tered their construction, com pre
fiends thrir rmrnose and has a
correct conception of the relation
each device bears to each and to
ail the others. He knows just how
and when each device must be
nsed to be most helpful in pro
ducing: a certain resultant which
will lead up to final victory.
He requires ho officer to tell
him these things. He is intelli
gent and self-reliant.
Of course a ship so manned
will, .man for man and gun for
gun, conquer an adversary whose
men are less intelligent less sen
reliant '
- It is this superior intelligence
and self-reliance of "the men be
hind the guns" "which wins vic
tories whether on land or at sea.
Gen. Taylor said that by all the
rules of war he was whipped three
several times durine the battle of
Buena Vista. His men were in
telligent self-reliant" volunteers,
They intelligently and promptly
. nullified the advantage gained
by the - enemy and won acorn
plete victory over four times their
number of less intelligent and
. sell-reliant men.
The first two days fighting in
the Wilderness under Grant and
Meade in 1864 was almost wholly
by regiments and companies un
der their own immediate officers
and in some instances with
out commissioned officers. We
recall one instance of a lieuten
ant in command of the extreme
right company of a regiment re
fusing to meet a flank attack
also of a sergeant, whom the
casnalties of the battle had pUced
in command of a company de
ploying his company to the righ
and advancing as skirmishers in
order to cover a dangerous inter
val which the enemy had nearly
found. In both these instances
the movement was right and
promptly and skillfully executed
and was effective. In each case.
however, the tactics taught that
the order for the movemen
should have emanated from the
regimental commander. It is
safe conclusion that none but an
American subaltern would have
seen the emergency and assumed
responsibility of meeting it.
It is frequently asked why the
American soldier is so markedly
self-reliant above all others. The
reason is that our social, religious
and political life produces re
sourceful, self-reliant men. They
I are products f republican insti
tutions. If it were not so our
sailors and soldiers would not
possess these "qualities beyond
those of Germany.
So long as we preserve a truly
democratic national life and in
culcate individual responsibility
and keep the doors ol success
open to individual endeavor and
merit pur navy and our army will
be invincible.
UNFIT FOR STATEHOOD.
Of all the measures before the
late congress which failed of en
actment the omnibus statehood
bill is least to be regretted.
While it seems hard that some ot
the territories, as Oklahoma, for
instance, should be denied state
hood, yet it is most fortunate that
others were denied it. The un
varnished truth is that New
Mexico does not have a popula
tion qualified for the duties of
statehood, nor upon which it
would be either social or political
wisdom to confer the highest
privilege of American citizen
ship, v
Which party would gain par
tisan strength by the accession of
two U. J5. senators if New Mex
ico were admitted is of no mo
ment whatever. Whichever
party might have control of the
state the fact would yet remain
that the mass ot the people is not
fitted for the duties and responsi
bilities of that relation.
We acquired this territory and
people, or their near progenitors,
as a result of our war with Mex
ico. The people for the greater
part are Mexicans. They have
not even made such progress as
their racial fellows south of the
Rio Grande have made. They
are as distinctly a foreign people,
as markedly Mexican, in:
nearly every respect as when the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was
ratified. . .
This is the united aud unquali
fied , statement made by intelli
gent and unbiassed Americans
who have lived in New Mexico
for many years and know whereof
they speak
It is of no purpose to discuss
the causes, contributing to these
conditions. We timply have to
recognize the fact of unfitness
and act accordingly.
It is extremely oubtiul that
the strenuous advocates of the
omnibus statehood bill were sin
cere in their support of the meas
ure. It. was rather their teal
purpose to obstruct and ulti
mately to defeat other legislation
to which they were heartily op
posed. It was also made the
field upon which abitter contest
or senatorial leadership was
ought Some such conditions
attach to every "omnibus bill,"
hence they are regarded with sus
picion. It i9 rather unlortunate that the
constitution of the United States
does not specifically prescribe
the qualifications for statehood.
When a territory desires admis
sion to the Union, congress pre
scribes the conditions and terms
of admission. In our earlier
history a population enough nu
merous to justify the rank and
power of statehood was the chief
condition required. This was
well enough so long as our terri
tories drew their population irom
the states alreadv in the Union.
But even on this point congress
fixed no uniform invariable rule.
Some territories have been ad
mitted because they became slave
states; others because they would
not be slave states. Since the
extinction of slavery the admis
sion of new states has been de
termined largely by consideration
of party advantage or disadvant
age.
The question 01 absolute htness
lor statehood has oec-n given mue
consideration. The whole ques
.. - m 1 . a 1
tion of fitness rests with congress
and has never been made, indeed
cannot be made a determinate
and invariable, quantity for con
press mav repeal the acts ot a
o -' X
previous congress.
We have always regarded it
the weakest feature in the federal
constitution that it does not fix
the qualifications to be possessed
bv the rjeoole of a territory to
entitle them to statehood. ' Hap
pily thus far we have escaped all
evils more serious than prolonged
and bitter contentions; but now
that our new states must be form
ed from people of a different
race, people wnom we cannoi
A
hope to assimilate and American
ize for generations to come, the
danger to our institutions comes
nearer.
We now must not only pursue
a colonial policv. but we must
supplement it with a well defined
public sentiment which will com
pel the refusal of statehood to
any people ignorant of our lan
guage, manners, customs --and
laws, and to whom our national
history and life and flag bear no
inspiring message.

We are like house plants: We need a
change of soil now and then io be re
planted. New scenes, hew experiences,
new surroundings a change of climatel
dry air instead of moisture, sunshine in
place oi cloud. This is sometimes es
sential to -health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than Europe
can offer. Take a month or two in Cali

there are no irritations, where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas

vites to walks and drives.. Pure and dry
air, and the increased electric influences
of sunshine. are vastly helpful.
