If Editor Thomas Hughes, of the.
Albuquerque Citizen, is not absolutely
responsible for placing T. Adonis Fni-
cal as the representative of"the press"
at the Rough Riders banquet. he ought
to try and square himself with the
fraternity by at once proclaiming the
fact. T. Adouis Finicsl is quite all
right in many respects, but he has no
business trespassing upon the preroga-
tives OF all the professions. He'll try
to break int the pulpit no dou bt before
this session closes. Las Vegas Optic.

The inhabitants of Otero county
have much to be thankful for. In ad-
dition to the development of it's extern
sive coal deposits, the utilization of it's
extensive forests, the settlement of its
vast area of rich farming land, and q
forward movement in the use of the
lavish storage of wealth by nature in
many other forms, there's charm and
an elevating tendency in the very name
it bears. There is little likelihood of
there being anything but prosperity in
store for any commonwealth or iin
sti,ution bearing the family name of
New Mexico's present chic fexecutive.

in this class of traffic.-Railwsy Age.
