PEACE JUBILEE.
Some Day During The Terrific
rial Fair the Time.
A Suggestion on the Subject Thrown
Out 10 the Public.
Let the Movement BE Started al Once and
Put Into Execution
EvERrrmSe BRIGHT FOR TIE FAIR

Why no; have a grand peace jubilee In
AlOuquerque some day during the terri
tOTist faIrI This question was pro-
pounded this morning aud the idea i'm.
diately met with universal appreciation.
lt should bs made one OF the chief al
fractions OF the fair. Geographical ly
Albuquerque is situated yery near the
center Of the territory from which tie
Rough Riders we're enlisted, aud for this
reason a peace jubilee in this city would
be especially appropriate. All tue Rough
Riders will undoubtedly have returned
nome by that time, and the bulk OF those
from New Mexico aud Arizona would
probably be here 70 participate. The Iecep-
tiOn which the Ladies' Aid society pro-
poses 10 give them should also be post.
pOned until that time, as the low rates
to the fair will enable their friends In
Arizona and New Mexico 70 come here
and attend she reception. The railfoai
companies nave already agreed to make
l 4 cent a mile rate 10 the fair.
IN general the plan for the jubilee Is
10 invite some officer In the late war who
has "A national reputation TO attend the
jubilee. and also the governors OF ART
zOna, Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas, to-
gether with their congressional delega-
lions. Governor OterO would be invited
TO assist the lOcal committees and Dele
gate Ferguson IN showing courtesies TO
the outside visitors.
A splendid program Of speeches and
music could be carried out d, the fair
grounds during the day and In the even
ing banquet might be rendered the
visitors. albuquerque possesses sutlic-
lent musical talent OF high order to
insure that portion Of the program being
made brilliant success,
This Is general idea OF what the
jubilee should be and 10 make Il sue
cess some one should take hold and
arrange the details at once as there IL
not very much time left.
Secretary Crawford, OF the fair assOcia.
tion, was seen and asked for his views In
the matter. lie thought the plan a CAPT.
tai one but expressed the opinion that
the Commercial club was best calculated
TO engineer the scheme successfully a.
the fair association had 80 many other
attractions to look after. Then, too. the
general custom In eastern cites il TO
have commercial bodies make the ar.
rangements for these jubilees.
Hon. U. n. Marion, president Of the
Commercial club, was next seen, and
asked for his views. The project met
with his enthusiastic approval aud In
speaking Of the matter he said: ''3y all
means Lot as have peace jubilee. While
the matter has not been brOached In the
Commercial club, that body Is organized
for the purpose promoting all publicen-
teTprises, and have no doubt will gladly
do everything In its power TO make the
jubilee a success | know OF nothing
that could add more 10 the attraetiyeness
Of the fair, and at the same time rebound
much to the glory OF Albuquerque and
all New Mexico"
Mr.. MaTrOn Is assured that anything
done by the Commercial club In this
matter will be applauded by the entire
community, and THE CITIZEN suggests
that he call meeting OF the club at once
TO take the necessary steps to arrange for
the jubilee.

Of the fair has now been passed. Ii Ia no

cate that the fair this year will be the
