President. why Is it that it has not become more densely populated. and with Americans. even since it was taken into the Union? It is on account of an absence of those elements which sustain human life--water. soil. etc. During the same period the great tide of American immigration has swept over our Northwest to the Pacific Ocean. it has swept over our Middle West to the Golden Gate. Everywhere the hosts of immigration have gone. and we have seen a continent conquered peaceably by the settler. the pioneer. the smoke arising from whose cabin was his pillar of cloud by day. Mr. President. that column of peaceful invasion did not strike New Mexico. it did not strike Arizona. simply because there was not enough water there.
