never reaching their destination, OF white

legends of murder done by Filipino

a SUSPICIOUS soLIcITuDE.

r HE TENDER SOLICITUDE Of
many Republican writer's for the
welfare Of the Democratic party is al
together charming One of the latest
is Henry Iitchfeld West, commissioner
of the District Of Columbia, who has
an article in the Forum for July-Sep-
tember on American Politics" Mr..
West is very much exercised over the
possibility that the Democrats viii not
nominate the right kind Of man for
president next year. He fears the
worst, but he says:
But admitting that the Democrats
will nominate a man who will be &C
ceptable to both factions Of the Dem
ocratlc party. whose election will not
threaten the stability Of the nanufac-
turing interests. and who stands for
all that is honest and good in admin
istration. viii the Democrats then have
a chance to elect him to the high office
OF president? The answer must neces-
sariiy be in the Affirmative.
There are a number Of factors in the
political situation which will operate
adversely to President Roosevelt il the
Democrats viii unite and act IN SEN
sible fashion"
Continuing, Mr.. West almost In SO
many words urges the Democrats to
nominate a high tariff man whose
sympathies are entirely with Wall
street and who is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the most radical Republicans
on the financial question. Such a man,
Mr.. West believes, would have a chance
to defeat President Roosevelt. But
where is the man to be found in the
Democratic party? In the first place,
he must be a candidate upon whom
the party will unite. Second, he must
be a high tariff advocate; third, he
must favor Republican financial meas
ures
Why shouldn't the Democrats nom
inate Senator Hanna and be done with
Il? Or better still, why not endorse
the nominee OF the Republican party A.?
There would be as much reason in
either Of these steps as there is ground
TO hope that the Democratic party can
be united on a candidate who COM
bines in himself the qualifications pre-
scribed by Mr.. West Il is difficult
10 believe Mr.. West is serious. In any
event his advice may be properly re-
garded with suspicion.
This because later in his article he
attempts to show by a mathematical
demonstration that it viii be impossible
to prevent President Roosevelt's cleo
ton. He submits a table Of what he
calls surely Republican states. leaving
out of the calculation New York, Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah
and other states which were RepubH-
Fan at the last national election and
still he elects Roosevelt by a com
Portable margin.

w. c. REID
A Petition Being Circulated in Ros.
we'll for His Appointment to
Fifth District.
(Roswell Register.)

A petition was circulated during
the week which received a large num-
Der Of signers. 1t requested that w.
G. Reid be appointed judge of the dis
trict in the event of the retirement of
Judge Daniel II. Mcmillan.
Since A. A. Freeman of Carlsbad,
has declined positively to allow his
name to be use1 in connection with
the juigship, and it is the unanimous
desire hat a resident of New Mexico
be appointed, the choice of the people
has fallen upOn w. c. Reid. Mr.. Reid
is a lawyer of ability and would un-
doubtedly fill the place if appointed.
In case Mr.. Reid should be appointed
the headquarters of the district would
remain as at present at SOcOrrO. 1t
is hoped by our citizens generally, Of
all parties. that the authorities at
Washington will see the desirability
of appointing a home man. The ter
ritory has suffered by the actions of
men appointed from the outside, and
in justice a judge should be selected
from the territory.

that ninety per cent of the business
houses were on the east side. that all
the professional men, societies, banks
and institutions were there, and that
there the postofiice should be estab-
lished.
A strong letter from a citizen.

to square himself was to have the

the ISLANDERS against the west side to
go uncontradicted n for actively or
tacitly taking part against her peo-
pie.
A strongly written, but conservative
letter, setting forth to Postmaster
General Payne. some of the insuffer-
able conditions under which the peo-
pie living on the west side, were Suf-
fering. was read. The delay to bus
mess men, the Inconvenience of 1000
people. the injustice Of depriving, in
a manner in direct violation of law,
the people of the county seat of the
largest county in the territory of mail
facilities, were dweit upon, and the
interest of the high official asked in
behalf of the wr0nged citizens. To
the fourth assistant, the letter was
caustic and vigorous. The action of
the department through the recon
mendation OF the official, in acting in
direct violation of the expressed wish
e. of people of the entire city. was
declared to be astonishing. The peo-
pie Were said to be placed in the po-
sition of those denied of their rights
and then refused a reason for such
denial. The action was characterized
as not representative to the u. 8.
government towards her subjects, and
the official was criticized for becoming
either party to a disreputable deal or
a tool in the hands of designing po-
~liticians.

RousINo MEETING.
Citizens Association of West Side
Reports on Postoffice and Other
Matters.

The meeting of the Citizens as
~sociation of the west side, held in
Buffalo hall, last night, proved to be
a mass meeting. While a number of
important matters were discussed,
the pOstoffice question was the leading
topic. The speakers took high ground
ON the subject, protesting in energet-
ic manner against the inexcusable in
justice that had been done them, and
expressing a determination to work
for the accomplishment of a better
order of things if it was necessary to
fight for a year
In his statement of the of
the organization, President j. d. w.
Veeder struck a chord that was re-
echoed by those present and will vi
brate in unison with the general senti-
ment on the east side. The speaker
declared the time had come, when
there should be no east side and no
west size, when the united people of
Las Vegas should work together in
full accord for the advancement and
upbuilding of one stable, prosperous
city. He referred to the injustice
done the people of the west side on
the p~ostofiice matter, in violation of
the united wishes of residents of both
EAST duu west LdS teSdS,d anu StIOBS-
~ urged the Importance of one central
postoffice. Mr.. Veeder said the OBJ
jects of the organization were not
alone to promote the interests of the
west side. but to enlist a spirit of har-
mony and cooperation in the entire
city and lead to that unanimity Of
public sentiment and public effort,
necessary to the promotion of the best
interests of the whole city.

tary. and Z. c.. de Baca, interpreter.

Las Vegas wishes to give the lie to

answer possible to such a wholly false
accusation consists in sending a big
