THE Las Vegas Optic advises us not tc
commit the New MEXICAN to the can
didacy of Hon. Mariana S. Otero to be s
United States senator from the coming
state of New Mexico. Mr.. Otero has
been very good friend of the New Mex
leans, and besides that, is fully worthy tc
be United States senator from the state
of New Mexico, and if the New MEX.
ICAN supports him for the position be will
surely be elected. For the time being, how.
ever, we are compelled to acknowledge
that all this is premature, the territory
not having been admitted as yet, and Mr.
Otero not having signiied by word, deco
or act that he even ever intended to be 9
candidate. Hence for the present the
matter may rest.

DEMOCRATIC papers have been trying

DEMOCRATIC papers have been trying to
make party capital out Of the condition of
the starving coal miners in Illinois. But
in so doing they have carefully abstained
from stating that one OF the principal
owners of the mines, and who is more re-
sponsible than any one man for distress
and suffering existing, is ex-Congressman
William l.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, the
free trader and chum of Grover Cleveland,
and the man who once said: ave can
control the workingman only SO long as
he eats up to-day what he earns to-mor-
row." Rich Democratic free traders are
great friends Of the working man, are
they not? In your minds eye, Horato.

TAOS wants railroad and Taos ought
to have one. 1t is but few miles from
Embudo to Taos, say not over twenty
five on an easy grade, and the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad would best serve its
own interests and open up a very rich
section of country by building the branch
indicated. If ever road strikes Taos
from the east, the Denver & Rio Grande
will lose great deal of valuable traffic,
which in the nature OF things can hardly
be regained. Here is gentle hint for
the Denver & Rio Grande management.
Best act early, gentlemen. A couple Of
hundred thousand dollars laid out on a
road from Embudo to Taos will bring
big returns from the first day the branch
is opened for traffic and will be of great
value to the entire New Mexico division
of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad.

LET THE FIGHT 60 ON,

THE albuquerque Blackmailer- Demo-
crat in its issue OF the 25th inst, in a
desperate effort to find fault with the con-
stitution adopted by the convention,
jumps at the section with regard to ex-
emptions and complains that the provi-
sion is confined to one kind of property"
AS might be expected of any statement in
that sheet, this is not true. The section
is as follows:
'The legislature shall pass liberal ex-
emption laws, and there shall be exempt
from levy and forced sale under any
process or order from any court OF law or
equity in this state, the lot and parcel OF
ground and the buildings thereon owned
by the debtor and occupied by him as a
residence, he being a householder and
having family, to the value OF not less
than $1,000.
That is to say, the legislature is direct
ed "to pass liberal exemption laws"
ulCl uIdS luGIuue all hiuuo VI phCPOi'yJ
and by constitutional provision which
can not be changed by legislation every
mans homestead is exempt to the value
of not less than $1,000.
In the convention it was suggested that
the first clause of the section was sudi-
Gent, but the opinion of the majority was
that the homestead exemption should be
made secure, while leaving to the legis-
lature the enactment of liberal laws as to
other kinds of property.
The course the Democratic Doodle
sheets are taking in order to if possible
defeat the statehood movement and pre-
vent the adoption Of the constitution is
well illustrated by this action of the Al
bu1uerque Observation-Disclosures. Lying
and falsehoods are to be employed by
them. Well and good let the fight 60 on

The first number of the San Pedro Out
look, weekly, six column, neatly
printed and good appearing newspaper
has reached Us. Its avowed policy will
be the furthering Of the advancement and
progress of southern Santa Fe county and
of the marvelously rich camp it is pub
lished in. For the present it says moth
ing concerning its political complexion,
which is probably very wise. At any
rate, success to the Outlook, to San Pedro

ATTEND the Albuquerque fair and helE
the entire territory along. The manage
ment the present year has done remark
ably well and been conducted on broad
gauge principles and everything has been
done to make the fair success. Every,
thing that in any way advertises the re,
sources OF the territory or calls attention
to them, no matter in what section Of the
territory, ought to receive the full and
hearty support of the people of the entire
territory. The Albuquerque fair therefore
deserves such support.

THE Massachusetts high license law

THE Massachusetts high license law is
working extremely well. Under it the
number of saloons in Boston has been
reduced from 1853 last year, paying a
revenue of $640,OO0, to $50 places this
year, yielding 100000. The Legislature
limited the number of saloons to one for
every 500 of the population and the license
fee from 1925 to 81, 200. Under the new
system the report says that it is impos-
sible to find saloon open in Boston on
Sunday, almost" impossible to find one
open during the prohibited hours of the
night, and the streets become peaceful
and quiet at much earlier hour than
those OF other cities.

THE political atmosphere is getting
right hot for the Doodle sheets and the
bosses and ringsters of the Democratic
central committee. Sensible Democrats all
over the territory are coming to the con-
clusion that terrible mistake was made
by their party in not taking part in the
election for members OF the constitutional
convention, and in not participating in
the labor OF the convention. The Demo
cratic masses ought to kick out the ringsters
and bosses of the committee and re-
model it entirely. 1t is never too late to
mend.

IL
NET.
The Chicago Herald presents series Of
PICTURES, reduced from photographs, depict
ing actual scenes in one of the greatest ag-
gregations ever exhibited beneath canvas
Their accuracy will not be questioned by
those who have visited the circus recently
Reference is made to the spirited drawing Of
la Tascot, the Human Fly" in her daring
act Of diving into net. The artist has evil
IDENTIFY made mistake in his perspective, for
as the picture is drawn the suggestion that
the stakes are too short forces itself on all
who make critical analysis of this spirited
sketch. The LA Tascot" on the bill boards
is far prettier female, but her face lacks
the decision and character portrayed in the
original Many are disappointed that the
dive is not made head first, as per advertise
ment, but this feeling soon passes away.
The artist has shown Signeor Kelly in the
star act of the evening. Signeor Kelly is the
champion "bear-buck" rider of the world.
Those not acquainted with the dangers which
surround the life of circus performer may
fail to properly appreciate the risk taken by
Signeor Kelly in the feat undertaken by him
as shown in the sketch. There is chance
that the upright so firmly grasped by the
rider may break or pull out What would
become Of the unfortunate man? He would
be dashed to the sawdust track. Then, again,
the horse might drop dead. Those not in tn
business have no right to criticise, but it is
hard to keep out of ones mind the recollec-
ton of a scene shown on the bill boards,
where flying horse dashes around the great
ring, carrying on his back a graceful rider,
whose toes seem hardly to touch the gallop-
ing steed.

Wonderful Little Carvings.

Properzia di Rossi. a maiden of rare
beauty. great refinement and unusual
education, gave herself very early in
life to the study of art Minute ira
cery'' was her forte. The first work of
this gifted girl was carving on a peach
stone the cruciixion of our Saviour
work comprising many figures, execu-
TONERS, disciples, women and soldiers;
all most remarkable for delicacy and
perfection of expression, and an adj
mirable distribution of the groups. In
the cabinet of gems in the gallery Of
Florence is still to be seen cherry
stone on which is carved chorus of
saints, in which seventy heads may be
counted. Among other women OF the
sixteenth century noted as sculptors,
fresco- painters and engravers, one OF
Titian's pupils. Irene di Splimberg,
highly educated, surrounded by luxury,
and with everything beautiful about
her, devoted herself wholly to art
Some of her works are still extant, and
she must have used her time and ener-
gies to great purpose. for she died at the
age of nineteen. Harper Bazaar.

The Wives Of Statesmen.

Not long ago, when speaking of his
wife, Prince Bismarck is reported to
have said: "She it is who has made
me what / am" There have been
English statesmen who could say quite
as much. Burke was sustained amid
the anxiety and agitation of public life
by domestic felicity. every care van
ishes," he said, ''the moment [ enter
my own roofr' His description of his
wife is too long to quote, but we must
give an epitome of it. Of her beauty
he said it did not arise from features,
from complexion or from shape; "she
has all three in high degree, but it is
not by these that she touches the heart;
it is all that sweetness of temper, be-
nevOlence, innocence and sensibility
which face can express, that forms
her beauty. Her eyes have a mild
light, but they awe you when she
pleases; they command, like good
man out of Office, not by authority, but
by virtue. Her stature is not tall;
she is not made to be the admiration of
everybody, but the happiness of one.
She has all the frmness that does not
exclude delicacy; she has all the soft
ness that does not imply weakness.
Her voice is a low, soft music, not
formed to rule in public assemblies; but
to charm those who can distinguish a
company from crowd; it has this adj
vantage, you must come close to her
to hear ."-Louisville C0urier-J0ur-

He could have given valuable pointers about

The circus artist is wonderful man, with
phenomenal size of imagination and su-
preme contempt for facts. He looks with
disdain upon the modern realistic school of
art. He has no use for realism. The circus
artist probably knows his business For
many, many years he has been drawing pic
lures of elephants forty feet high tramping
their way majestically through scenes Of
Oriental splendor. Five generations have
stood with glaring eyes and open mouths be-
fore these great works of the lithograp hers
art They have patronized each succeeding
circus, and swallowed the rising lump of dis
appointment occasioned by the discovery
that the seventy-five foot giraffe could stani
erect in a seven foot cage. One hundred
years from now it will be the same
No man looks at the bill boards after the
circus has left town. As he passes by he
looks the other way. 1t is matter of regret
that the circus is so far behind the progress
made by the artist and the advance agent
The advance agent is a talented gentleman,
with an enthusiastic temperament. As the
circus becomes more and more Anticipated
the advance agent grows more eloquent. He
announces that all former achievements will
be cast in the shade; that the colossal aggre-
cation is grander than ever and that the
price of admission will not be increased The
circus artist is equal to the occasion. He de-
signs a new elephant, with trunk thirty
feet in length, and draws a vivid representa-
ton of life and death fight between the
wild vat of Patagonia and company Of
sailors who have stepped ashore from man
of-war.
