This old plasterer seems to us to live more
In the past than in the present, but all that we
would criticise In his communication Is his
criticism Of the builders for the way in which
they have laid their programme before their
antagonists. the workmen.
We hear great deal about the arro-
gance of labor and the insolence Of capt
tai in regard to the methods and manners
chosen for presenting their respective de-
mands but It is shallow talk. No matter what
amount Of wages workinRmen nsk. or what
exactions or restrictions they seek to impose
upon their employers. they cannot properly
be- called arrogant while they are within their
legal rights. Equally foolish is It to call
capital insolent or arbitrary for stating it's
terms, however positive and hard they may
be- The entire industrial question is be-
fogged by such talk

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures. The
bets thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure 1t
has been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the
use Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this
remedy cOunteracts any tendency OF
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands OF cases in which this emf
edy has been used during the great
prevalence If colds and grip i'll recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be On the
safe side and take Chamberlain's

WHATS the Matter With Harvard?

of the alumni of that institution, %
per cent OF whom are unmarried, and
those who are married have reprOduc-

an average of two babies each. And
yet every class that is graduated at
Harvard encourages early marriage
and fatherhood by offering a cradle
for the first baby born to any member
of the class. 1t is no ordinary cradle,
either. 1t is usually of solid silver or
gold and it makes q beautiful and
precious ornament for the domestic

and goes to college, and is pointed
out as the winner of the class cradle.

be said that Harvard graduates do
not encourage competition in increas-

is that the prizes are limited in num-

The STORY OF A SONG.

The death Of Hubbard Smith, vice
consul OF Genoa, recalls the inter
esting history of that harrowingg tale
about Johnny Jones and his Sister
Sue, who ate the peach of emerald
hue, and his connection with the
same, says an editorial writer in the
Des Moines Register-Leader. The
verses were written by Eugene
Field, although it was years before
this was known. The poem was one
of the first Field ever wrote, and
appeared in 1880 in the Kansas City
Times undetr The title IA iLittle
Pech." The poem travelled all over
the world and was finally found by
Mr.. Smith in an obscure corner OF a
country newspaper. Attracted by the
story of the peach which warmed
by the sun and wet by the dew"
grew so fatally for Johnnie Jones and
his Sister Sue, Mr.. Smith set the
words to an ear-tickling melody, and
sold the song to a Washington music
dealer for ten dollars.
In 1.-THE Eugene Field I Knew"
Francis Wilson, the actor, tells of
his connection with the song, begun
long before his acquaintance and in
timacy with its author. In 1880, in
an old book store in London, Mr..
Wilson ran across a stray copy of
the song, which greatly tickled his
fancy. He brought it back to America
with him, and engaged Mr.. John Bra
ham of boston to compose a dance Tor
it. The words were credited to an
English versifier, and neither Mr.
Smith. Mr.. Wilson, nor Mr.. Braham
knew that Field was the author. The
song was introduced into Mr.. Will
sons opera, 1.-The Oolah," and, as all
know who had the good fortune to
witness the performance, was imme-
diately popular. Mr.. Wilson and Miss
Marie Jensen, who sang the song in
duet, never failed to be recalled
again and again, to sing one again
the delectible woes of Johnnie Jones
and his Sister Sue.
For years the verses had gone the
rounds of the press of the country.
They were generally credited TO
Anonymous" but often were assign
ed to various writer's. 1t was finally
to set at rest the disputed authorship
that Field published the verses in
his book Cultures Garden" Field
| never received any remuneration for
the poem, as it was not copyrighted,
| and as was said, Mr.. Smith sold his
| rights for $40. The song however,
melted a small fortune, and thousands
| upon thousands of copies were sold
| while it is still to be found in most OF
the college song books today.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

1 DeQVeF News.
The most important measure before

introduction of this measure is an ad'

mistaken policy with regard to an in

unexampled opportunity is now pre-

reconcile the landlord and tenant in
terests in Ireland. hDOn terms which

conference report, that 1t brings be-
fore parliment a practical solution of
the land question, acceptable alike to

conclusion of the conference the Sec
rotary said that an armistice had been
declared between the two parties. and
that 1t would be nothing short of q
national calamity II the present op-
p~ortunity of restoring peace to the
country were allowed to pass unim-

AS outlined in the press dispatches
and in the special London correspon-

and threaten 1t, has much use for q

WEDNESDAY EVENING. FEB. rs
BOARDS.

It would seem q sense OF justice
would impel the Territorial legislature
TO divide the various boards for the
management Of the public business SO
as to giDe the minority party repre-
sentation.
What harm could a straight out
democrat, one who is such on princi-
pie and not for the honors OF the
"loaves and fishes" do on the boards?
Every Territorial board should have
at least two members representing the
minority party. They should be repre-
sentative men In the minority organi-
cation. Otherwise these concerns be-
come close corporations. They run
things as they please. They account
to the party bosses for their admins
tration and not to the people.
They become so many political ma
chimes for the manipulation Of local
politics and not instruments for the
promotion of the public good.
We do not assert this Is trne In
every case. but it is in many, and is
the evident tendency Of such a system.
1t is an evil system, part of a po-
litical program n should give way
to a better one. looking to q division
Of responsibility and duty.
Partisan institution boards and man.
agement. partisan equalization boards.
partisan school boards, all tend to
the abuse of power.
Ours is becoming too much a gov
eminent by party for the party. in
stead of government by the people for
the people. There is not an individual
who reads this article but that knows
remedy? Must this disease. having its
germ in avarice and love of power, be
permitted to remain as a c%ancerous
growth on the body polite. until 1t has
eaten out all that is pure and good in

Must employees In the asylums. the
colleges. the schools. the penal insti-
tutions. the boards. hold place because
VI tHtlI POLITICAL VIEWS.
Must these become vast political ma,
chimes to reward those who vote the
party ticket and become dictatorial
and insolent In party zeal?
The whole system of partisan
boards. wherever 1t exists, in New
Mexico. Texas or New York is rotten,
anti-democratic. antirepublican and
should not be allowed to exist.
Take our Territorial land board as
an illustration. 1t has power to lease
and sell lands Of immense value, to 70
ject one offer and to accept another.
without a single member to check
what may at any time be a dishonest
system Of favoritism.
The very composition Of such a
board invites such a result.
Who but the members can tell the
secret workings and manipulations go
ing on?
Why is 1t not right that some robust
vigorous representative OF the minori-
ty, should be on such a board, to at
least keep tab on the proceedings?
Land may be sold for 81 per acre
worth 50 and who is the wiser?
One offer to lease may b. accepted
and another rejected for partisan or
other considerations and no one exists
to tell the tale.
The right of minority representation,
and investigation should be allowed to
manifest itself on every one of such
organizations. The people can have 1t
so II they will speak out.
