Faustn Ga|sgos Had Been the Choice Of Delegate 8.
Rodey.

Concerning the appointment Of post.
master at Clayton, Union county, which
was made by President Roosevelt yester-
day, a Washington dispatch says:
"There is something of contes ton at
the postofiice department over the ap-
pointment of postmaster at Clayton,
New Mexico.
Delegate Rodey, who represents the
Republicans OF that section, has indorsed
the application of Faustin Gallegos, who
is stanch supporter Of the cause, and
whom it is desired to reward with an
appointment. Mr.. Rodey, upon calling
upon the postmaster general today,
found Rough Rider comrade of Presi-
dent Roosevelt long ways in the lead
in the race for the place and indeed was
virtually the choice of the department.
He is Sergeant Otto F. Menger, a gallant
soldier. who was wounded at San Juan
hill. While Delegate Rodey and his
constituents have no fault to find with
Menger, they are still insisting upon tho
selection of Gallegos.'
As the New Mexican stated yesterday,
President Roosevelt made the appoint
ment of Mengcr a personal one and noti-
fed Delegate Roday to that effect.

Legislature should make it possible to
purchase at least 200 acres of land
around and near the penitentiary
which will go mach towards making
the institution self-supporting and
which would furnish ideal employment
to the convicts. The lawn and flower
beds in front of the main building are
beauty spots and the surroundings of
the whole institution are bound to
make favorable impression upon the
visitor as well as to xert wholesome
impression upon the inmates of the in
stitutions, who are shown the beauty
and the desirableness of cleanliness, Of
attractive surroundings,so regularity,
trade by which they can make a
good living after being discharged
from the institution. The greater part
of the convicts, lead a better, more
healthful and in many respects more
comfortable life at the penitentiary
than they ever did outside of it. They
are brought in contact with higher
ideals of life. The wholesome disci-
pline which is never brutal, although
of necessity very strict, is also re-
forming element.
Opposite the penitentiary on the
west, just across the Santa F'e railway
tracks stands beautiful cottage, SUBJ
stantially built and an ideal home. This
has been erected during the past few
months by the penitentiary authorities,
entirely with convict labor and mater
ial made at the penitentiary. It's in
terror is even more beautiful than it's
exterior and in every respect 1t is a
model of what a homelike cottage
ought to be. The house is occupied as
a residence by Yardmaster Garrett.

casion to 60 out Of its way to pass
resolution, objecting to the admission Of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona to
the Union as states. Indeed, Mr.. Edi-
tor, the struggling territories in ques.
tion, who are making a great fight for
their common rights with other parts of
the nation, did not expect resolution
of that kind to emanate from the City of
Faneuil Hall and Bunker Hill. and the
home of Wendell Phillips. The only
thing the inhabitants Of the three terri
tories in question have ever done with
reference to the city of Boston, is that
they have been guilty Of purchasing
a large amount of merchandise, such as
shoes, crockery, rattan furniture, and
many other things, from It's merchants
for from twelve years to half century
last past, but maybe they can be made
to see the error of their ways and stop
iU. Indeed, the territories In question
are loath to believe that this so-called
Merchants Association represents the
general opinion Of the good people Of
Boston. | will be thankful If you will
publish this letter.
Very truly yours,
