EXHIBIT FROM THE SOUTH,
The Agricultural College viii Have
Fine Display at the Fair.


The Agricultural college at Mesiiia
Park is making great preparations
for the exhibit which II Is going TO
send to the Territorial fair next
month. The exhibit will be much the
most extensive one w SEN out by
the college. Those who have seen
the artistic and attractive exhibits
heretofore made by the college at the
last Territorial fair and on several
occasions at I'll Paso. Tex, as well
as at the Horticultural fair at Santa
Re last year. will know that the above
statement means something. The ey-
hibit will include the finest display Of
preserved fruit and of cereals In the
ear and in the grain that has ever
been made In Albuquerque. From
the shops will come an attractive ex
hibit OF students work In iron and
wood work. as well as In other lines.
The division OF soils OF the expert.
ment station, which is doing much to
acqualnt the people of our territory
with the pecullarities ana good and
bad qualities OF the great variety OF
soils which exist in New Mexico, Is
also preparing a special exhibit of
much practical value. In many WAYS
the exhibit Is being made OF as much
practical and popular interest as pos.
sible. The college is making greater
efforts than ever before to get more
closely In touch with the citizens OF
New Mexico that are interested in its
work and the forthcoming exhibit Is
but one OF the nor popular efforts
that are being put forth in this di.
rection.

WRONG PRINCIPLE,

An exchange says that the notions
of liberty as well as OF law and order
that prevail in Germany are illustrat
ed by a recent court martial in which
a soldier was accused OF the murder OF
an officer and a condemned in the
teeth OF overwhelming proof of limo
cence, because he could not account
for six minutes of the day.
The Hamburger Nachrichten makes
the astonishing comment that even
though innocent, II is better that he
be executed than that nobody suffer
for the crime.
The interests of a solitary indi.
yidual like Marten,' says the news
paper, must be subordinated to the
general interests Of the army. Even
were he innocent his execution would
cause n Wholesale fear among the
men. If the murder is u~navenged all
order Is at an end"
Preposterous as this sounds In the
ears of people who know what law
rooted liberty is, and have had no ex.
perience In arbitrary government, 1t
probably reflects the sober Judgment
OF the upper class In Germany, to say
nothing of the emperor himself. To
them the nation seems TO exist for the
army, not as with us, the army for the
nation.

The recent session OF the sovereign
grand lodge of Odd Fellows in the
city OF Indianapolis calls public at,
tention to an order that has had a re.
markable history and a wonderful
growth. American Odd Fellowship
had its origin eighty-two years ago
from the action OF five men assembled
In a Baltimore tavern. Now the soy
ereign grand lodge represents more
constituent organizations than the
congress of the United States, though,
OF course, not so many people. There
are fifty five grand lodges and fifty,
W grand encampments. The total
membership Is put at l,l29,094, but
as this includes members of encamp
ments and Rebekah lodges, some of
the members are apparently counted
twice. Nevertheless, the membership
In the mems lodges alone foots up
81 $50. OF the 2lS.0 900 members OF
the Rebekah lodges much the largest
number are doubtless women. who are
not included In the lodge total given,
30 that IL Is safe to say that the total
membership is much over a million
The records show that in seventy
years the number Of persons initiated
into the order is 2,i40l94. In that
time $SS, 55S,Oi0 have been expended
for relief. The total revenues have
amounted to S229.lOG,S5l. These are
magnificent sums, but they are con
tinually increasing. For example. I'm
the year 1900 the payment for relief
footed up more than three and three.
quarter millions OF dollars. These are
great sums undoubtedly, and, as they
are expended with great care and dis
elimination, the amount OF good which
they do is necessarily enormous.
The sovereign grand lodge Is by no
means a pauper. It's revenue last year
was $4,000, Of which but little more
than one-half was expended. But the
investments Of the subordinate lodges
and encampments represent a total
little short OF $4,000, 900, certainly a
mighty instrument of benencence for
u voluntary association.
There are a great many Odd Eel
