common honesty. II has not been
long sluce every democratic paper In
the territory was assailing the terri
tofial administration in the most vlo'
lent terms for its failure to declare
against T. A, Hubbell, In the mean
time the administration forces were
taking effective measures to prevent
the reelection ~ Mr. Hubbell as chair
man OF the territorial republican cen
trail committee. II Is edifying TO note
how quickly the democratic press Of
the territory has changed its tune,
Mr.. Hubbcll has suddenly become a
very superior individual and the re.
puhlleans have committed an enor.
nifty in turning him down. The
change might have been expected.
However II goes TO show the inter In.
sincerity Of democratic protestations
and declaration. The adminlstra.
tIon OF the territory has acted consls-
tently and has set its face against
corruption and crookedness Of all
kinds. The people of New Mexico
will yindlcate this policy at the polls
next November.

Mr.. Jefferson has become serious
~ alarmed at the condition OF his
health and has determined to aban-
don the stage for all time and devote
the remaining years of his life largely
to outdoor enjoyments.
Al his home at Buzzard's bay dur.
ing the summers and in Florida or
Louisiana during the winters he will
apply himself TO fishing, painting and
perhaps writing, for he has promised
other "reminiscences of the seventy
years he has spent upon the stage.
The dean Of the American stage"
is a title that jefferson has borne
for more years than many men have
lived. 1t is a tile that he won by
honorable, hard work, high living and
high thinking, Regarding his profess
sion seriously he has forced others to
regard 1t seriously. Instead of find
ing his companions and forming his
friendships in the resorts of the actor
folks along Broadway he has been
for years the loved comrade OF a for
mer president of the United States
and men high in the financial and
business circles of the country.
In addition TO his life work as an
actor, he has found diversion in the
achievement OF success In lines OF
artistic and literary endeavor. The
paintings of Joseph jefferson. the
artist" will sell on their merits as
works of art. The story OF his life.
which Is in part a story Of the stage
in his time, ranks as literature. In
the cast of the stage he has always
been supreme.
Jefferson is now rs years of age,
and he has been "a sears upon the
stage. When one year old he was A

of the coon singers of the coun.

A WORD 70 MR.. RopEY.

Many republicans regret that Mr..
Rodey was not renominated. He has
worked hard In congress and the peo-
pie of the territory value him accord
ingly. Twice he has been given the
highest office In the gift OF the voters
OF New Mexico, the last time by the
biggest majority " given to a can
didate. Certainly II Is true that II
Delegate Rodey deserves well OF the
republican party, so the republican
party deserves well OF Delegate Re.
dey. In our opinion, IL Delegate Ro.
dey says. as is reported, that he has
no acquiesced In the nomination OF
Senator Andrews. IL is quite time that
he did so. II would be a species OF
ingratitude Of which we do not believe
Mr.. Rodey capable, and Of which his
thousands of loyal friends do not be-
lieye him capable. II he should, after
having been SO conspicuously honor
ed be at all luke warm In his sup
port of the republican candidate nom.
mated by the territorial convention.
II there be those who advise the dele.
gate to act the part Of the spoiled
child. their advice Is bad and we do
not for a moment believe the lifelong
republican and sincere friend of New
Mexico will heed 1t.
