The old Abe eagle. (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 189?-189?, 1892-04-21
WORLDS FAIR.

Among the resolutions OF tho auxiliary
Santa Fe county committee we find one
as follows
Resolved further, That we deeply de-
plore the action of the parties who have
caused this resignation, and have there
by completely overthrown work ofsuch
vast Importance to the territory.
The EAGLE has been carefully scan
ming the territorial papers and has thus
far failed to find any condemnation either
personally or with reference to the work
accomplished and outlined by Mrs.
Bartlett, with but two exceptions. One
was an inferential fling made by the
Santa Fe Sun which was certainly un-
called for as being directed toward lady
and containing nothing farther than in
sinuatioD that selfpride or egotism
caused the lady to retain her position on
the national board instead of resigning
her local work only.
Quoting the part of the resoluti n
which mentions "the action of the
parties who caused this resignation" the
EAGLE has also observed that no word
of defense has ever been offered by any
parties referred to in this clause. The
opinion seems to obtain generally that
there was no occasion for any interfer-
ence by local organization with the ma
tured and well executed plans of the
board as previously outlined.
Enough delay had already occurred
and as the only point that any parties
furnishing the funds for local work
could claim the right to control, (as the
exhibit must be made according to
Commissioners rules might have be, n
definitely settled by said parties appor-
tionilg their funds, respectively, at a
certain portion for each Of the depart
ments Of Mrs Albright and Mrs. Bart
lett it seems strange that the business
men who undertook to handle the ladies'
business did not determine the ratio OF
appropriation. 1t seems that this might
have been all that could have been rea.
sonably asked by such parties, leaving
all details in the hands Of the auxiliary
boards. Lincoln county while suffering
with the other portions of the Territory
in this calamitous delay, at "a time when
time is of more importance to securing {
go d exhibit than its cost, is, however, iI
better position than some other coun
ties who had received the attention anl
Instructions in detail from the commiss
toner's ami now are resigning aud disor
grnizing organized work
According to information furnished
the EAGLE by ladies Of he auxiliary com
mittee Of Lincoln county, detailed in
structions are yet lacking to a consider
able degree and none OF the turmoil an,
disagreemcnts Of factions have reached
or entered into our local organizations
This is a condition worthy OF congratu
lation and it is believed that the ade
OF Lincoln county are judicious enough
TO avoid any such undesirable situation
and will not allow anything to iutcrfe
| with their loyalty and home patriotism
and pride in procuring an exhibit worth.
Of the county which is their uniyera
pride. As in the past, the EAGLE is a
the service OF Lincoln county ladies com
mttee for undivided unity OF edort
without dissensions, all laboring to H.
one great end Of securing an excellen
exhibit III every department for whic
Lincoln counly has the resources
