Work At Delegate Joseph and Governor assisted by some of the enterprising men of New are working hard to obtain The most important measure urged by them is the one to settle land but there are other measures that have not attracted so much attention which would be of great benefit to New Mexico should they become Of course all this does not please the few and chronic objectors who oppose anything and everything that everybody else They are like the shipwrecked Irishman crawling up the bank of the island on which he was asked a native if there was a government being told that there shouted It is well to strive to reach a certain elevation of enlightment and honesty where men and measures are candidly and fairly discussed and set down for what they are instead of staying below in the valley of the shadow of dense and perpetual and trying to find some solace in unreasonable hatreds and vicious bowlings against better who are trying to do some There ought always to be a fair hearing for lair Men of honest purpose are entitled to be Hut appeals to passion and however adroitly ought not to sway public opinion an We believe that New Mexico's workers at Washington are doing That their plans by which this Territory is to be benefited are perfect in all the even they themselves would not have the hardihood to But that they are doing the best they can under unfavorable and with serious obstacles in the can hardly be At any rate the bushwhackers in the instead of proposing any plan of their do nothing but decry the efforts that Delegate Joseph and Governor Ross and their are do themselves no and in no sense represent the people of New Pending a Presidential election the temptation is always strong to distort well-meaning efforts and torture the best of motives into something entirely selfish and But the attempt in this instance will be a New we take has too much at stake just now to be drawn into the vortex of blighting political and personal that can result only in every worthy The general indorsement and hearty co-operation that the people and the not only of this Territory but of the eastern are giving to the work in progress in behalf of New Mexico at the National are worthy of praise and will have an excellent effect upon the multitudes who will make New Mexico their home within the next five always keenly sensitive to signs of progress and substantial will to put it in homely that we mean business out and that New Mexico can not be held back in the race of progress and in Ihe development of its splendid FOR A Governor Ross and Delegate Joseph in Favor of They Write a Joint Letter Setting Forth The Advantages of Making a State of New Feb. 25, 1888.

be able to take advantage of that splendid attract an agricultural and put the new State on the high road of Were there no other arguments in favor of this consideration alone would be suffi cient to warrant and justify The people of other Rocky Mountain communities have expended vast sums for purposes of water storage and New Mexico has for years been asking federal appropriations for that Congress proposes in this to grant that request by the donation of therefor a donation that will put it in the power of the if the trust is wisely administered by the in whose custody it is to establish and encourage a system of irrigation that has cost our and will continue to cost year by millions of money in The productive energy of our lands is now becoming generally known to people and investing The fact that we have an abundance of water is also known to those who have read of the floods that annually devastate our great valleys and washout our When the advertisement goes as it will by the passage of this that the waters of these floods arc to be restrained and stored up for of irrigation and and are no longer to run to waste and the destruction of railroads and valley farms
