Riqhts OF New Mexico Newspaper Men.

The punishment of the editor of the
Las Vegas Optic, on his w confession,
for criminal libel, is worrying that pa
per considerably, and in the agony of
spirit gives utterance to the following
groan:
The newspaper man of New Mexico
has now no rights that any citizen
feels called upon to respect. His func-
ton as a public educator, as a moulder
of healthy public sentiment, as an adj
vocate for cleanliness, justice and hon
esty in the conduct of public affairs, has
been taken from him. He no longer oc-
cupies a place next to the pulpit as a
teacher of public morals. His true oc-
cupation is gone. He has now only to
obey the dictates of the scoundrelly pol
itician-the man who hates light, who
despises the truth"
The Optic allows it's lacerated feelings
to obscure the truth in the case The
rights of newspaper men in New Mexico
have not been abridged in one instance
W eLC iNool VI III ooGlu llDCl SdSt.
On the other hand, the rights of private
individuals have been established.
Had the Optic been so DESTROYS of
moulding healthy public sentiment" it
would have exposed the condition of af-
fairs in San Miguel county long before
the New Mexican undertook the task.
In place of occupying "a place next to
the pulpit as a teacher of public NOR
ais" that paper allowed it's opportunity
to enforce the laws of the territory to
escape, and then to add to it's sins of
omission, committed that of villifying
and libeling the very man who, through
the columns of a newspaper, exposed
the unlawful acts of public officials.
A newspaper as a semi-public insti-
tuition owes a duty to the public in ex-
posing acts which are calculated to in
jure the financial, moral and business
interests of any community, and in do
ing that it is entitled to credit and re-
spect, but no paper in this broad land
has the right to attack the private life
and character of any citizen, even
though that attack should be made I'M
der the cloak of defending political
friends who hold office under the peo-
pie. The talk that "the newspaper man
of New Mexico has now no rights that
any citizen feels called upon to respect"
is mere rot. The editor who attends to
his duty, exposes wrong wherever it is
found and aids in moulding healthy
public opinion" in New Mexico has just
as many rights which are entitled to re-
spect as the newspaper man in Chicago,
New York, or any other part of the
country, and will be accorded those
rights by every person and court in the
territory. 1t is only when a newspaper
man steps aside from his duties, and in
attempting to defend that which is
wrong resorts to billingsgate, falsehood
and libel that he loses the respect of the
public and is placed in a position where
he has no rights that any citizen feels
called upon to respect

TRIED TO ECONOMIZE.
THE SAD STORY OF A YOUNG LADY
AND A FALL HAT.

n Did Not Want to Be SwindIed by
the Milliner and Undertook to Do
a Little Work Herself, With Aston
iShing Results.
II am never going to attempt to be
economical again" announced a young
oma the other day in a most despair
ing tone. "Why? Look at that hat!'
And she held out at arms length a rath-
er dilapidated hat of soft gray felt.
do you see that?' she proceeded.
"Well, it is that hat that has decided
rae. Do You see how distressed it looks?
And this is only the third week since I
bought it. Reason? OF course there is a
reason.
Heed, mark, learn and inwardly
digest what J. am about to tell you that
We may not in your base ignorance 60
and do likewise
When | became aware this fall that
a new walking hat was a necessity, l
made up my mind to be economical.
The trimmed ones that | saw at the
milliner's were, according to my esti-
mate, too high priced, so J. betook my
self to a dry goods store and purchased
a shape-cost, $1.48. 1t had a little
band around it. but that did not suit
me at all, When | wore it, l was ac-
cused of being mannish, and after this
had gone on for two days ! set out to
get some trimming. Crimson and gray
striped ribbon was what | wanted, but
| soon discovered that wanting and get
ting are two very different things. Store
after store ! visited in vain. No gray
and crimson ribbon did they have.
Then a bright idea struck me. Why
not try silk?
but my success was no better, and
| gave up that chase, too, and came
meekly down to pale gray. But | could
not match my hat. Then | had a re-
lapse Of red and gray and %astonished
my family and friends by actually find
ing the combination. When | saw that
silk, l jumped at it as at a long lost
brother, bought it in a hurry for fear it
would run away before l could say
Jack Robinson, and proudly took it
home. That was 70 cents more.
Imagine my despair when | saw it
wouldn't do. The red was too bright,
and the gray made my hat, which, by
the way, l had worn all the time, look
worn and dirty.
"That was a failure. | was desperate
by that time and walked into the near
est store and bought some plain black
ribbon and put it on-cost this time, 40
cents. But it didn't look right. 1t didn't
have a bit Of style, and my heart was
sad. So one day I went into a store and
bought a feather.
1.-THE one l wanted was 80 cents,
but here my base economy struck me
again, and I took another-a mean,
snippy little 25 cent arrangement-and
stuck it on Do you see the effect?
Beastly isn't it? By this time the hats
dirty with much handling, and has
been all punched out with the pins I've
stuck in to try on the various trim
mings.
"It's cost me exactly Sass and it is
a blot on the face of the earth. | abom-
mate it and shall have to get another.
just to keep my self respect up to a
proper pitch.
Therefore. fight shy, say l, of econ
omy." And with a groan of despair she
cast the unlucky chapeau behind her
and marched tragically from the room

MONDAY, JANUARY 0.

The attitude Of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent on the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
its admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
Platform, New Mexico, 1898.

lea is his readiness to tighten the burden
of his fellow, and so long as that trait
remains so prominent in the people of
the United States there is no danger to
be apprehended for the future of the
nation. Charity covers a multitude of
sins is a saying almost as old as time,
but there is a deeper meaning to it than
that. 1t is an indication of the inherent
quality of kindness which makes all
men equal in adversely and makes
each the keeper of his brother, regard
less of race, color or creed.

fact that for three years past the wind

And again it may De that the winds

Der. Here is a problem which will re-
