FROM THE PEOPLE
SECURITY FOR NOME TRAVEL.

Seattle, May 2i. 1890.
TO the Editor: l observe that none of
the carriers or at least the large ocean
steamships. seem to have enough small
boats by one-fifth to accommodate their
passengers on the Nome trip with life
saving security in the event of fire or 9TH
er casualty happening on the trip.
As every one has paid heavily for
the privilege of enjoying their hospitality
for the trip. on the other hand should
they not be compelled to give ample Sc
curity against any great sea calamity
as l have suggested? Please TO have
the attention of the proper authorities
called to the matter. From one who in
tends TO risk his life. too.

Indiana begins early by announcing
that Senator Fairbanks will be cam
didate for the presidential nomination
In 1904, and is preparing to start
movement to that end at Philadelphia.
We can say right here, however, that
Senator Fairbanks is one of the strong
men of his party; a man Of great abii-
ity. conscientious devotion to his duty
and his country, and unfaltering patri-
otism. The Republican party would
make no mistake in tying up to him.
But II Is a long time until 1904, and the
early boom does not always catch the
presidency. The most that can be said
now Is that Senator Fairbanks Is en-
tirely deserving of any honors that the
Republicans of his state or of the ma
ton may desire to bestow upon him.

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-10-15
II Makes No Difference Where LarrazoIa Was
Born, But

The New Mexican makes no point
against Mr.. Larrazolo on account of the
place of his birth 1t cares not a CONT
mental red cent where he was born.
But it does raise this objection, viz A
man who has been a citizen of New
Mexico but three years, who has no in
terests here, who is not known to the
people at large, who is supported by a
very bad political crowd in Las Vegas,
who knows nothing about the territory,
who has 40 experience in public affairs,
who has nothing but the faculty of
making a speech composed of glittering
generalities. who has done nothing
whatsoever to gain the respect, the es-
TEEN or the good will of the people of
New Mexico, should not be elected to
represent people whom he does not
know and who do not know him, in con-
gress. And this is Mr.. Larrazolo.
In the very nature of things, if elect
ed, he would be a nonentity in congress.
Nobody would listen to him, and no
body would pay any attention to him.
This is very natural. and nothing else
could be expected.
The average congressman would say:
Who is this fellow, anyway, and what
manner of people are those of New
Mexico to send such a fellow to con-
gress? What does he know about New
Mexico? He has lived in the territory
for three years or less, and it stands to
reason knows nothing about the ter
ritory until recently, and only while
seeking the Democratic nomination, he
has not stirred from Las Vegas, except
for one trip to Rio Arriba county to de-
TEND some man in a murder case. If
that is the kind Of man the people of
New Mexico want to represent them in
congress, let them take the conse-
quences and get what they then would
deserve, and that is nothing"

The southwest is a vague term. 1t at
one time applied to Mississippi and
Louisiana. Later it was Missouri and
Arkansas. Then Texas fell heir to the
title, and now it is New Mexico, Arizo-
ma and southern California which are
the real southwest. Yet Missouri and
Arkansas continue to call themselves
the southwest, the same as many peo-
pie still say that Chicago is in the west,
for the term southwest is no longer an
a%ppellation to be ashamed of, but a I'll
tie of which those states are proud.
National expansion. however. has now
fixed the boundaries of the southwest
between the Pacific ocean and the east
ern boundary of New Mexico, while if
the Bryanite ideas of to-day had been
the governing principle in Jefferson's
time, the southwest would still be some
where between the Mississippi and Mo-
bile hoy

ton is definitely known. If Mckinley is
reelected the road will begin construc-
ton at an early date, but if Bryan

Mr.. Godair says hat the company
has finished all the surveys and have
arrangements made for the early. ship
ment of material when it is known what
will be done. They are anxious to get
into this territory as soon as possible,
and will lose no time in doing so if the
policy of the administration is not
changed by the election Of Bryan.

Livinu on Wheat Alone,

DR.. Julian P. Thomas is preaching a
new gospel Of food. He eats 3 ounces of
raw wheat three times a day, and that
is all. He feeds his wife and his boys
on the same kind of stuff. They are all
pictures of health, while formerly they
suffered from dyspepsia and
prostration, and who knows what else.
DR.. Thomas, by the way, lives at New
York, and will have solved the social
question as far as food is concerned if
he can convince everybody that nine
ounces of raw wheat Is all that Is need
cd to sustain the body and at the same
time to guarantee good health. Even
the poorest man can manage to get
hold of that much wheat. Restaurants,
cooks, the man who raises chickens,
chilli and corn, and the purveyors of all
kind of food other than raw wheat
would have to go out of business, and
the epicure would become a back num-
her. It Is highly probable, however, that
the world will continue to prefer facing
dyspepsia and nervous prostration rath-
err than live on a slim diet of raw
wheat.
