Those Who Advertise.

The New Mexican has no quarrel
with those merchants who refuse to
support the only daily newspaper In
their city with even q small adver-
tisement. But 1t has words Of gratid-
cation and praise for those merchants
who do advertise, and they are more
than the New Mexican had expected
when 1t decided TO enlarge. Every
man is supposed to know his business
best, and part OF the business of the
New Mexican is advertising. 1t sells
space for advertisements the same as
a merchant is supposed to sell goods
II knows too, that those who adver
tise, are not only public spirited. in
that they help along the newspaper and
that means the city, but that they are
also wise and understand their bust
ness for 1t needs no argument now

sophisticated that advertising Is O
good thing for any business except

the fact that "A Texas Steer Is being

row night. Governor Otero has writ.

ceived for reservations for a party OF

THE DAY IMPORTANT.

Now that the La Junta strike Is at
an end and the men have gone back
to work. II may be timely TO remark
that the Santa Fe should devise some
way Of having the employees pay
checks come around on the day set
for their delivery. Men not only at
La Junta, but all along the line, have
been put to trouble and expense by
the failure Of their checks to arrive
at the specified time. II isn't a mat
ter Of what day OF the month they
come. II they are made out in the
pay masters office on the fifteenth,
then some day should be set for their
delivery which will enable the men to
receive them at the appointed time.
The seventeenth is just as good a day
as the fifteenth, provided 1t brings
the check. The explanation made by
the company that the delay In deliy-
cry at La Junta al caused by the
Wells-Fargo company, Is doubtless
correct. Generally, however. the beat
titude has been that a day or two
doesn't make much difference, but II
II extremely important to a man who
gets paid only once a month, ana who
contracts obligations on the strength
Of Il. to know Just what day he is to
get his money.

UTE 70 LEO XIII.

When the pope died, the greatest
among us passed away. Greatest In
station. greatest in fame, greatest in
the wisdom of the statesman. Leo
XIII. was the Nestor OF the human
race. He had no fellow while he
lived. and In his death he had no
peer. Venerable alike from his age,
his station, and his personal piety, the
late pope WAS ven more venerable
as a sovereign who had no rivals. a
man who had no foes. One woe alone
he had reason to fear,--the woe that
Is pronounced upon him OF whom all
men speak we'll. For when the Pom.
tifex Maximus descended to the dust,
and the frail and fragile anatomy
which had served as a lantern reveal
Ing the soul that glowed within was
laid TO rest in the tomb OF white Car
rara marble which with characteristic
solicitude he had prepared before his
death. not oven the most vehement
Protestant, the bitterest %Freethinker
had a word TO say but OF good. The
fayorite malediction OF the fierce say,
ages who lnhabit the northern prov
inces Of Ireland. a malediction which
generation after generation was used
as a battle cry, is ITO hell with the
Pope!" Last month. when Leo XIII
died. there was hardly an Orangeman
In Black Ulster who did not admit that
"To heaven with the Pope!" would be
the only possible formula. ITO heav-
en- with the Pope!" is a fitting sen
tence upon m who spent his life
the whole ninety-three years OF it,
In an honest, weariless attempt to
! bring heaven down from the skies. SO
that ever here and now the toil-worn
| children OF men should realize some
thing OF the peace and JOY Of paradise.
That he failed I o realize his high ideal
is true. All men fall. Was there ever
a greater failure judged from the date
Of his burying, than the failure Of
Jesus Christ? This disciple IL not

Stewan. to Be Here the Eleventh.

The first installment of G. A. r.
tourists bound for the great conyen-
ton in San Francisco passed through
the city yesterday afternoon in a pri-
vate car attached to No. L. The party
was from Osawattomie, Kans. This
is the van guard Of a great host OF
those who wore the blue in the old,
bloody days. Surprisingly large mum
bers OF gray-haired veterans will take
the trip to the coast. The convention
promises to be n Of the most no
table in the history OF the organiza'
ton. Certainly, those who live in this
territory will never again see the old
soldiers thronging to the west for a
convention. Just a few more years
can the gatherings be possible. The
large proportion Of members live IN
the east. Each year the number Is
becoming sadly diminished, and the
survivors are growing more feeble,
The chances are that the G. A. r
convention will never again be held
west of the Missouri river. Every
where the old heroes pass on their
westward way they will be received
with enthusiasm and honor.
1t was given out a few days ago tina
the Rock Island had been decided
upon as the official route to the con
yention. 1t is, however. a fact tha1
the Santa Fe has that honor. Wore
