Senator Patterson's S Rocky Noun
tain News Says That New
Mexico Has a Good
Chance.
ARIZONA TO BE LEFT OUT
There is No Chance for the Passage oil
the Brownlow Good Roads
Bill.

Says q dispatch from Washington
D. c., to the Rocky Mountain News,
Senator Patterson's paper:
MIXED up with the many things one
hears in Washington about coming
statehood for the territories is a rum
or that Arizona is liable to be left out
of the proposition for the present and
that the two new states will be COM
posed OF New Mexico alone and of Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory united.
1t is said the political complexion of
the proposed ArizOna-New Mexico
state was too close for the comfort of
the Republicans hence the decree. The
friends of Arizona are making stren-
uous effort to keep the territory from
being left out in the cold"
No Chance for BrownIow Bill.
Washington, Feb. 6, 1904.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.
notice that delegation from Las
Vegas and Santa Fe are coming on to
Washington to try and get the Brown
low Good Roads bill amended so as to
include the territories in the good
roads appropriation.
Like the little boy who had an apple
and said there wouldn't be any core,
/ don't believe there will be any good
roads appropriation this session Of
Congress. | am member of that COM
mittee, and l was present when tre-
mendous delegation came before it for
a hearing two weeks ago. am init
mate with the chairman and the mem
bers Of the committee, and my opinion
is that there will be no good roads ap-
no fear. l had an eye on the bill, and
if there had been any show for it's pass
age. would have procured, or tried to
procure it's amendment SO as to include
the territories.
listen to every bill that is read on
the floor OF the House to see if terri
tories are mentioned where they ought
not to be, or not mentioned where
they ought to be; and watch the in
dex as closely as I can; and will not
let any bill pass without protest that
does injury to the territories, or that
refrains from doing them good when it
ought to-
Governor Prince and Mr. Twitchell |
and Mr. Reynolds, or whoever else
comes on will be welcome, and will |
try and get them hearings beforeathe |
committee, but their trip is useless on |
this matter. There are enough people |
after good roads who may force Con-
gress to make an appropriation, but
the committee, think, is against 1t.
Very truly yours,
B. s. RoDEY.

MANS EVENING OUT.

Some few days ago. the newspapers
contained soulful stories of how TWEEN
ty-one husbands in Bayonne, n. j.,
had formed a Married Mems Anti
Euchre and Home Preservation" So
city. Doubtless these twenty-one hus-
bands had dallied with the paste
boards and been euchred, and in their
remorse had determined to assume the
virtuous role of purveyors of paregoric
and supervisors of the cradle. They
were resolved that they would stay at
home of nights, doze over the news
papers for a period then kick the cat
out of the way and go to bed. BY so
doing, they doubtless argued among
themselves they would win the es-
TEEN of their neighbors as model clti-
gems and cause their wives to think
them, more than ever to be paragons
of mankind.
But on the heels of this announce
ment of movement towards be-
slippeFed and dressing-gowned even
ing at nome in the bosom of the faini-
ly for the married man comes the
declaration, through the medium of a
Chicago women's club, that the adj
yanced, modern woman doesn't care
TO have the man about the house too
many evenings. She wants him to set
out, TO brush against the world. to ac-
quire polish by attrition, and. in short,
not to be too much in the way about
the house DR.. Julia Holmes Smith,
of the Chicago women's club in ques-
ton, put the idea into words thus:
Men who stay at home every night
aren't good for anything; it is my
observation for quarter of a CEN
fury. l side with the men on this ques-
ton of organizations. / don't like
to see man at home every night,
with one foot on the cradle. Clubs
and lodges are good things. The man
whose attention is given all day TO

a rut. He needs change. In the even-

During the last four years the APP

those for the four years of the Nc
Kinley administration and 1888, 900, O00

The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem. }
says: Some of our esteemed Repub-

another reason why Parker is not an

Since the first of April we have part

eral destruction of property. If it
should prove true that there was an
extensive blowing up of docks, yards
and other property, then Port Dalney
enjoyed the shortest life of any mod
ern city. With Port Arthur, Dalney
was leased to Russia by China in 1888
Immediately the Russian government
began the building of a modern COM
mercial city at Dalney, which was
formally declared open for trade only
nineteen months ago. In its cOnstruc-
ton Russia spent between $25,000,OOO
and $40,0000OO. Every modern con-
venience was supplied on its docks and
in its houses. 1t was probably as near
model city as one intended to be
devoted to commerce could be made.
The population increased rapidly,
amounting last year to more than Co.,
900 persons. Last year III steamships
and LAS junks loaded with merchan-
disc entered the port, and more than
$4,000 passengers passed through it,
Great stores of coal were usually kept
at Dalney, but these had been depleted
almost to the point of exhaustion three
months ago. The port is said to be
one Of the finest and deepest in ORR
entail waters.

Senator Scott of West Virginia has
had a great many experiences in the
West, where he lived for a number
of years. and he told of one that hap
pened to him when he was travelling
through Iowa that especially amused
those who knew something of the pro-
hibition conditions in that state, says
the Washington Post. Some years ago
Scott and a friend found themselves
at Ottumwa, Iowa, waiting for train.
They decided to look around and see
If there was anything to slack trav-
eler's thirst, and were directed by an
obliging individual to a place where
there was the following sign
.
PLACE FOR NOSE PAINT.
**s*sa*s *4&+sst *.*"
A hand pointed down the stairway,
and Scott and his friends descended,
and a few steps further on they saw
another sign:
s*ss ss*$s 80 . .
= THIS IS THE ROAD TO HE'LL
s&s&& = :
Nothing daunted, the West Virginia
man and his friend continued on the
uninviting road and entered a bar
room equipped with paraphernalia for
serving all kinds of cheering and in
toxicating drinks. A very cookbook
ing man came from behind the bar,
and. bowling, asked:
Gentlemen, what will you have?"
Both Scott and his friend hesitated
a minute. and to break the awkward
pause that followed the question, as
the men were still in doubt as to what
was on sale. Scott said:
FIll take the best you've got"
SRI take the same" answered his
companion
The "barkeep," for it was no other,
put two large glasses on the bar and
filled them with water. Without. ask
ing a question, but looking furtively
at one another, Scott and his COM
panion drank the water. and Scott
laid down a quarter, which the man
behind the bar covered into the till.
"Oh, hold on now, ScOtty," inter
rupted Senator Dolliver at this point,
you can make me believe all you
have said heretofore, because I know
the place and know the man but that
you paid a quarter for two drinks of
water-well, that is going too far"
1--WE were surprised into it," replied
Scott, and when the laughter caused
by Delivers jeering remarks had sub
sided, he continued his story.
What do you mean by those signs
outsider" asked Scott
What they say" replied the man
behind the bar. "If you drink whisky
it will paint your nose. Whisky is
the road to hell, if you drink enough
of it,"
1--WE made inquiries concerning the
man." concluded Senator Scott, "and
we learned that he was really char
liable and philanthropic man."
He could afford to be-" remarked
senator in the party, "if he sold
two drinks of water for a quarter
and there were suckers enough going
through the country"

Anticipated a Funeral /.

Secretary Shaw tells story to the
effect that soma years ago one of the
charitable societies of Iowa sent num-
Der OF orphans out to his town for
distribution among childless people,
says the New York Tribune. The dis
tribution aroused much interest in the
village, according to the Buffalo Com
mercial. AS the orphans were being
given to those who wanted to adopt
children, a little resident of the town
ran up to her mother and said: "Oh,
mamma. I wish you would take a TT
tie orphan girl But, my dear re-
piled the mother, 81 have you. What
do l want with an orphan?" II know
you have me-" said the little girl, but
you might want to have a funeral and
you could use the little orphan girl
instead of me.

A correspondent writes to the Morn
ing News to complain that, while he
plants trees, vines and grass on the
streets about his property-he owns
several pieces-there is no protection
given the green things after they have
been planted. Loafers and vandals
break the tree boxes, horses bark"
the trees, careless and mischievous
boys break and destroy the flowers,
goats eat the vines, etc. ION one oc-
casion, says the correspondent, Il
called a policeman's attention to a
driver who had allowed his horse to
bark a tree of mine, and was told that
he had nothing to do with it," On
another location goats destroyed a lot
of vines. A complaint was made, but
the complainant was told that there
was no redress. Under these circum-
stances the correspondent asks IF
the city officials will not protect what
is the use to plant ~ Our correspond
ent, it seems to US, refers to a matter
that should have the friendly and i'm
mediate attention of the city authori-
ties. AS he says, if the city will not
protect that which is planted on the
streets in the laudable effort to beau
tify the city, what is the use of plant
ing? But we feel sure that the city
can protect the trees, flowers, shrubs
and grass in front of private property,
and that it will take steps to do so.
