IN these twentieth century days
it seems TO be the fashion for the
press OF the country to give
preachers, mayors and other prom
inent public men an opportunity
to demonstrate their capacity for
newspaper work. In order TO be
strictly up-to-date, and in accord
ance with the prevailing custom,
the TRIBUNE, on Saturday, March
I'd, will be turned over TO Mayor
Sabin, who will have full and
complete control OF the editorial
and news columns for one issue.
Mayor Sabin promises "not to
disgrace the paper" during his in
cumbency, by which we presume
he means that he will not too
strenuously advocate democratic
principles while occupying the
editorial chair. He will probably
devote considerable space to mu-
nicipal affairs, giving the results
OF his two years experience as
mayor, and in view OF the ap
preaching city election we believe
the TRIBUNE on that day will be
"mighty interest:n' readin'."

THE Sugar City Herald says
that while the appointment OF
"deputy assistant deputy district
attorney" may satisfy the pie
eaters OF that burg for awhile,
they will certainly expect some
thing more next November. The
Herald advocates the organization
OF Sugar City republicans for the
purpose OF having a candidate
named from that locality to fill
"one OF the three important OF.
fees" Most any old Office is
"impor,ant' to man who wants
Office badly, and there are several
more than three to be filed this
fall. In regard to the insinuation
that Rocky Ford and La unta
"want the whole pie, we plead not
guilty, SO far as is La unta is con-
cerned. The county seat has only
three representatives in county
official circles, while Rocky Ford
has seven. Shy your castor at the

CRY OF the SECOND CLASS.


issued by Governor Orman few
days ago La Junta is now a city
Of the second class and will be
compelled to bear the burden OF
city government. No application
was made for a change of classih-
cation, and our evolution from an
incorporated town into city OF
the second class simply came about
by process OF law.
Within six months after the re-
turns of any United States census
have been filed in the Office OF
secretary OF state the governor is
authorized TO ascertain what in
corpora,ed towns are entitled to
become cities OF the second-class,
and shall cause statement OF such
TACT to be published in some news
paper published in the state cap
ital and also in newspaper pub
lished in the incorporated town
entitled to advancement in grade.
All towns OF more than 1000 and
less than $4,000 population are
entitled to classification as cities
of the second class.
Every city OF the second class
shall be divided by the city coun-
Gil into wards, which shall not
exceed six IN number, and the
boundaries OF the wards shall not
be- changed oftener than once
in six years. Al the election in
April, La Junta will proceed to
organize according to its new
grade, but the organization will
not be held to work the removal
from Office of any councilman
whose term of Office will not have
expired. Councilmen McNeen,
Draper and Bently will consc
quently hold over for another year.
On the first Tuesday in April,
1907. and every two years there
after, the qualified electors OF La
unta will elect mayor and
three councilmen, also police
magistrate, city marshal, city clerk,
treasurer, city attorney, city engi-
neer, and city street supervisor,
who shall hold their respective
Offices for the term OF two years.
All of the above named officers
shall receive such salary for their
services, payable monthly. as the
city council, prior to the election.
may fix. The water commission
er, bumpers. and other city officials
will be elected by the city council
as heretofore.
The expense of maintaining a
city government will be consider
ably larger than that OF an incor-
porated town, and it is doubtful
whether we can afford the luxury
just at present. All city officials,
including the mayor and council
men, MAY receive salary, and it
rests entirely with the present
city council as to what their
monthly stipend shall be. 1t
might be well to pay the mayor
and each councilman a nominal
amount for attending each regular
and special meeting and then fine
them double the amount of their
salary for failure to attend. In this
way considerable revenue might
be derived, If councilmep are as
derelict in attendance under the
new regime as they are at present.
None of our city officials are
particularly pleased with the new
order OF things, believing that we
could worry along for another year
or two under the old conditions to
better advantage. The advance
ment in grade. however, is made
under the laws Of the great COM
monwealth Of Colorado, by the
grace of 4 fusion administration

Paris correspondence OF The Pail Mall Gazette.
NJ. Porel. than whom few have a closer and
more practical acquaintance with the French
stage, has been induced 10 discourse on the
present state and the prospects of the drama in
France. The manager of the Vaudeville and
the husband of Nine. Rejane was in the past an
actor whose praises may be found written in
more than one OF the famous prefaces of Alex
andre Dumas ills. NJ. Porel's experience further
includes a term of management at the Odeon
and at the Gymnase; ii viii be seen that he
speaks from experience.
VI. POrel is disposed TO be somewhat pessimis-
tic In particular. he cannot admit that regen-
Grafton Cf the French stage which band Of
enthusiasts the majority of them young, declare
TO be in progress. Certain writer's who take
their wishes for the deed who attach undue
importance To 2 few isolated manifestations are
never tired OF assuring that the younger
school OF dTamatists are much preoccupied with
the social influence OF their art. NJ. Porel sees
little evidence of these lofty Intentions and
though he does not say as much expressly IL
may be suspected that he would declare. II
pressed, that they would not pay. for he was
New-York tribune., 1901-02-03

careful to open his remarks by observing that
art is one thing and money making another
and that in the realm of the drama the latter
looms largely whereas the former struggles for
existence. In his opinion there is still n long
life before the least transcendent forms of the
drama-the farce. the vaudeville the Op-
erette-predicted though their demise be by the
apostles of the higher drama. Changes are less
likely in the nature of the fare offered than in
the mode of putting it before the public. NJ
