Blunders of the Administration
It 1* pahplng strange that President Taft In hi* me«-
cage to Congress upon the troubles in Mexico and the mo-
bilization of the army upon the border should have ig-
nored the loss of life In IS1 Paso and the d'amageipinfUct-
ed upon El Paso business men, since a number of live*
w ere lost by bullet* fired Into I ho city from aero** the
river during tho fighting around Juarez In May of last
year and immense damage* were Inflicted upon Ameri-
can property Interest* In Mexico.
It is still more surprising that American business men
Who curtained very serious damages during the revolu-
tion in Mexico and who applied to the government for
assistance In tho matter of collecting claims for damages
against the Mexican government should be curtly in-
formed that they must seek redress In the courts of Mex-
ico.
That which has more than anything else won for
Great Britain the admiration of the world and the confi-
dence and loyalty of its citizens. Is the promptitude and
vigor with which It backs up the claims of British sub-
jects for redress of wrong»4|nflicted by foreign countries,
whether they be Infringement of personal rights or dam-
ages to property.
The British policy In this regard Is In striking con-
trast to the recent American policy and has made all
governments exceedingly careful with respect to treat-
ment of Englishmen and their Investments.
Mr. Taft has been peculiarly unfortunate during hi*
administration in that ho has been given what appears
on the surface and In the light of Information made pub-
lic exceedingly bad advice.
Especially does this appear to be true with respect to
the affairs of the department of state, which has blun-
dered more than once In its diplomatic relations with
Mexico to the Injury of El Paso and’of American citizens
here and elsewhere.
If the United States be under obligation under the
Monroe doctrlno to protect foreign Investments In Mex-
ico and other American countrlea (and that obligation la
universally recognized) It would appear that tho Interests
of citizens of our own country are entitled to Instant
and effective protection by their own government, and
thai their demands cannot either Justly or safely be Ig-
nored.
It was the blunder of the secretary of state that
clouded the title to seven million dollars of El Paso prop-
erty and it is a greater blunder by the same official which
leaves American citizens to fight without the moral sup-
port of their government for redress for vast damages
Inflicted by soldiers and citizens of Mexico to their prop-
erty Interests In that country.
Aside from tho Injustice the government's attitude
works upon American citizen* and American Investors, It
places this country In a most unenviable attitude in tha
eyes of the world and humiliates all our people.
Texas Responsibility
The assertion that Texas with her two hundred thou-
sand Democratic majority Is responsible for the fact that
both branches of Congress are nbt now controlled by the
Democratic party will doubtless cause a smile. Yet that
t* nevertheless a fact.
On. her admission to th* Union Texas reserved the
* right whenever her people so determined to divide her-
self into five states without consulting Congress or any-
body else. Had this state been so divided. Its p apple
would now be represented In the upper branch of Con-
gress by ten Democrats Instead of two, and the Demo-
crats would control that branch as they now do the
house.
The division of Texas is inevitable. The state Is too
large a* It Is—so large, the population go unequally di-
vided, the Interests of the five different sections—East,
West, North, South and Middle Texas—are so conflicting
that It is Impossible for all sections to be equitably repre-
sented in any branch of the state government
The »ad ^experience of this section of the state, which
contributes more. In proportion to population and real
values, than any’other section to the support of the state
government and yet can get no share In the offices or in
the appropriation* for public buildings or In the division
of the public Institutions—that canflot get even an act oi
the legislature that would permit, not to say promote, the
development of Its natural resources without detriment,
but to the decided advantage of the other sections—the
experience of West Texas proves that all the sections of
the state cannot hope for equal and exact Justice until ft
shall have been divided-
In addition to the necessity to the welfare of the peo-
ple of Texas of division, there Is now the demonstrated
value to the whole country of the Increased representa-
tion In the senate of the eight additional members which
It would provide, thu* adding to the benefits of larger
Influence tq shaping legislation that would prove of great j
importance in securing Justice to southern industries and
activities.
'Texas, therefore, owes it to the whole country, to say
nothing of what Is due her own peopl^ and. interests, to
go about the division Into the five states contemplated by
the statesmen who guided her In tho early days of her
history.

Democracy in the New States
Arizona having started out on the right foot as a state,
is indulging In much Justifiable self-congratulation. Yet
the Democracy of tho new state falls in gome degree to
measure up to that high standard of the party nation-
ally. V t
The Arizona Democracy Is tinctured more or less with
socialism, populism and other political Isms which can-
not be considered as orthodox Democratic doctrine, but
The Times does not doubt that the next campaign for
state officers will find the party purged of everything ob-
noxious to the doctrines of the Democratic faith of the
fathers.
New Mexico did not make so fine a showing as did
Arizona In the political complexion of Its first state ad-
ministration, but she did quite as well as was expected
because of the political complications that had existed
there for muny years and the Democrats with confidence
look to the future for the purification of the polities of
the stnte, which, freed from the control of corrupt poli-
ticians and other selfish Interests, will become one of the
finest states In the Union.
Nothing can deprive Arizona of the distinction of be-
ing the richest mineralized section of the United States
or endanger her prestige as the greatest copper producer
on the continent. Nor can anything prevent the growth
in wealth, in population and development of either of the
now states.

North and East interested tn our magnificent
Just now the term "good fellow" has a little different
meaning and greater significance than at any other sea-
son. At thi* time of the year It means one who contri-
butes liberally toward bringing Christmas Joy to darken-
ed homes and poverty burdened hearts.. El Paso has

Asked If he favored the recall, a prominent politician
declared that he was more interested for the present in
the effort to get where that measure would become a
matter of personal Interest to himself than he was in the
thing Itself.
An esteemed contemporary remarks that the report
that Mr. Roosevelt was “surprised by the rumors of ills I
candidacy,” reminds It of the Irishman who asked ^lie j
bartender to surprise him by putting some whiskey In the 1
seltzer while he was not looking.
Public Good or Political Interests?
Heretofore legislation with a tendency to increase the
vast sums appropriated for pensions has met with the
unqualified opposition of Democratic members of Con-
gress and has been regarded with hostility by the mem-
bers of that body representing the southern states, for
the reasons (1) that the pension list places grat e burdens
upon the taxpayers of the whole country and (2) is a
drain upon the South j because the people of this section
bear a very considers ole share of the burden and re-
ceive no benefit^from It since the money paid in taxes
for this object goes from the South to enrich the states of
the North.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the people (if the
whole country should be astonished when a Democrat in-
troduced a bill, which passed the Democratic house, in-
creasing by a vast sum, variously estimated at from forty
to senty-five million dollars per year, the appropriation
for pensions,
In justification It I* claimed that this was a very fin*
piece of practical politic*. Granting this, It remains a
fact, that cannot ^>e evaded, that no party can sacrifice
either ethics or the good of the people for political ad-
vantage and that sooner or later the i>arty (hat Ignores
either will be called to account.
Yet we are mean enough to grin at the predicament
in which the Republican administration finds Itself as a
result of this bid by the opposition for the "old soldier”
vote In those states that are regarded as Republican
strongholds and upon which that party must depend for
the election of Its candidate for the presidency.
Tt remains to be seen whether the advantage of this
Uctlcfl movement by the Democrats may not be offset
by the loss of confidence In the party’s wisdom and sin-
cerity by the business men of the country whose support
to quKe as essential to the success of Its candidate for
the presidency ss 1s the soldier vote to that of the Re-
publican party.
Anyhow, the administration to in an embarrassing di-
lemma by rfeason of this measure, because, unloss the
Republican Senate falle to pass it or modifies it to such a
radical extent as to make it acceptable to the whole
country, the president to be consfetent must veto It-

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY

Associated Press Dispatch.
San Francisco, Dec. 22. —"We
could have abrogated the treaty with-
out swaggering around with our
mouths full of hypocrlcy and bun-
combe, Insulting a friendly nation.
American diplomacy will not profit
by? suoh action.”
Thus asserts Representative Wm.
Kent of California In a letter construed
by the San Francisco board of super-
visors as a rebuke called forth by Its
reason urging the California delega-
tion in congress to work for the ab-
rogation of the treaty of U32 with
Russia. Congressman Kent's letter
was written several days before final
action was taken to this end In Wash-
ington.
"I take It for granted,” the letter
continues, “that Russia has discrim-
inated against our citizens and that
that action meets with our disappro-
val. We. on our part, are discrim-
inating against her citizens.
"I should like to have the treaty

First Step Made in Merger With
Parent Company, as
Wa,s Rumored
Associated Press DU patch.
N«w York, Dec. 2i.—-What was re-
garded in Wall street as the first step
tn the long rumored plan to consoli-
date the subsldaries of the New York ,
Central system with the parent com-
pany, was taken today when the New
York Central & Hudson River Rail-
rood company addressed letters to the
holders of Its 5110,000.000 three and
one-half per cent collateral trust
bonds, which were given In exchange
for stock of the Lake. Shorb & Mich-
igan Southern and Michigan Central
roads, asking theli consent to merge
either or both roads with the parent
company.
If Is proposed to consolidate only
the Lake Shore at this time, but ow-
ing to a provision of the mortgage
the consent of the holders of the
Michigan Central proportion of the
Issue muRt be obtained. The way
Is thus left open, however, for a con-
stipation of the Michigan Central
with the New York Central, and tho
bondholders are sited to give their
consent to such consolidation.
According tof an officer of the com-
pany, the Immediate object of the ab-
sorption of the Lake Shore is to ob-
tain a through line to Chicago under
one management, to the end that its
operation may be placed on a less
cumbersome basts.
The bondholders are asked to re-
linquish their lien upon the Lake (
Shore stock pledged as security for
the bonds, and to accept In return
what would practical!? be second
mortgage bonds on the consolidated
system. Several other New York Cen-
tral lines, south of Chicago, and In
Lake Shore territory, will be merged
with the parent company when the
Lake Shore is taken In.
Control of the Michigan Central A.
and the Lake Shore/was secured by
the New York Central In 1908, when
Issued 3 1-2 per ednt bonds for
550,000,000 of the Lake Shore &
Michigan istock at 200, and #18,738,-
000 Mlchiga
Michigan Central stock at 115.
It was dented V>y officials today
that any further plans for a compre-
hensive unification of the system are
contemplated, but It has been fre-
quently reported that such is fhe goal
the directors have In mind.

Hachlta, N. M., Dec. 22.—A meet-
ing of stock and farm men was called
here yesterday to close a contract
with A. A. Williams for an artesian
well to be dug In the fertile lands
of Playas valley.
There has been considerable dry
farming done In Playas valley the last
few years, and with the climate they
have there with the long seasons this
country is noted for there 1s no rea-
son why this should not be tho gar-
den spot of the southwest.
There are quite a few pump wells
now in operation through this valley
ranging in depth from 10 to 60 feet
deep and every indication of unlim-
ited artesian water, some of which
has been found already In a very
crude way at a very short depth.
The Victoria Land and Cattle com-
pany have one of these wells now
that has a flow sufficient to water
three thousand head of cattle.
The progressive farmers and stock
men of Playas valley are awake to
the untold wealth they have in their
undeveloped valley and have a big
move on foot now to make every pos-
sible means for its future develop-
ment, which will mean success to all
who are fortunate enough to have
holdings In that valley.
Walter Birchfleld, the manager of
the Dtamond-A Cattle company, has
moved their headquarters to Hachlta.
The Diamond-A people bought the
extensive Interest of the Baker peo-
ple some time ago , and to now one
of the largest cattle companies of the
southwest.
Markhae Doolittle, the manager
of the J. B. L. Cattle company, was

Doming to spend Christmas with hto
family, who are located at Doming on
account of the schools.
We are having some very cold wea-
