President RooseveIt's Quality.

'The thing like most about President Roosevelt" said prominent democrat at the Hillman last night, lis the human quality in the mans character.
 Take, for example. the incident of the old Confederate veteran and the little child up in Louisville. The old man. you remember, with one hand clinging to his erutch and the other holding up little child, was trying to get near the Presi- dent. The police attempted to keep the old soldier back The President, catching sight of the veteran, bade the police to desist and let the old fellow. with his pretty charge, come near him. When they got up to him the President took the child up in his arms, talked to her and greeted the old soldier cheerfully

The Merger.
 It Is generally believed in local iron and financial circles that the merger will be finally eonsummated. but it seems to be case of now you see it and now you don't. Col. T. G. Bush, president of the Alabama Consolidated. said last night that as large an undertaking as the merging of the principal companies of the Birming- ham district would naturally require some time, probably months He has felt from the start that 1t would ultimately be worked out satisfactory to all interests. Speaking of the ups and downs of the merger negotiations, Colonel Bush tolt this joke:
 While I was in New York recently l met a man whom knew coming from the stock exchange. Is there anything do- ing?' I asked. Yes my friend repliee, the merger is on for fifteen minutes.

AN ADMISSION AND A SERMON,

The highly esteemed, though sur.
prisingly wobbly albuquerque Journal
manifests unbecoming symptoms Of
anger. II Is. Of course. regrettable
that a newspaper which picks a row
with another, cannot take what 1t
brings upon itself without showing
temper, But the Journal shows that
tendency, SO usual with quarrclsome
persons. to squeal when II liz pounced
upon.
We must confess TO departing from
our ideas OF newspaper etiquette for
the purpose Of having some fun with
the Journal. The Albuquerque morn
Ing paper for some time has been en-
gagged In connecting an unsavory mess
Of epithets for the purpose of pro-
jectlng them at frequent intervals at
other papers OF the territory. Some
OF the papers have come back, until
for a time the editorial columns Of
several newspapers which claim 10 be
progressive and intelligent. have been
filled for the most part with animal.
versions upon their contemporaries.
The original offender In this matter
vas the psuedoreform paper at Albu-
querque. Although The Optic escaped
from this rain Of epithets with no
more Objectionable appellatl0n than
that OF pedag0gue, later followed
by such terms Of endearment as
SISSY" and Miss Nancy" we allowed
our desire to test the equanimlty and
good nature Of the paper originating
this silly strife to triumph for the
time over our view OF what Is ut and
decent to appear in a newspaper. Az
w expected, the Journal Immediately
let all the reefs out Of Its temper and
came back with u%tterances az spitefuI
as the success Of or experiment could
require.

ents. Even for the scientific purpose
Of experimenting with the Albuquer
cue journal We don't pretend that the
bestowal OF undignified epithets. how
ever well deserved they may have
been. vas particularly praiseworthy
So we hasten To inform the Journa'
that II needn't a. wroth about oul
recent attentions. We apologize a
the first opportunity for calling i
"The Morning Granny" and are al
most ready to admit that we didn'

TWO SIDES.

There are undoubtedly two sides
to the tent question. Las Vegas has
advertised itself to the whole world
as a health resort. People have been
soming here faster than they can be
comfortably accommodated in re-
sponse to that advertisement. A very
large degree of the present prosperity
and nearly all OF the building advance
ment Is due to the recent influx OF
people. A great many of the people
who come want to live in tents.
The city limits are wide. In many
instances, 1t will work a hardship on
the people to be forced to move out
side. Indeed. 1t Is extremely doubt
full, II the city can pass any laws
that will be binding upon people
whose residence is outside the fire
limits. It will probably be shown to
be true that a man can build what
sort OF a house he chooses on his
own property, providing It is safe and
sanitary. Tents can be. and usually
! are. cleaner and sanitary than
homes. There would be no unsanitary
| features about any of the tents COM
! planned of II the city had an adequate
/ sewer system. The fact Is that the
tents and their premises complained
of are much less to be condemned on
T. the grounds OF sanitation than many
of the houses. 1t is not right that I'M
reasonable prejudice against the un-
fortunate ones who find it beneficial
| to dwell in tents should lead to their
persecution. Our superb climate OF.
| fers health to the stricken one and
we have proclaimed the fact to the
| ends of the earth. The tent can't be
| banished from this locality and 1t Is
questionable II 1t can be banished
FIRM the city.
1t is somewhat amusing to find citi-
zens working up a scare on account
Of the alleged unsanitary tendency Of
the tents, when there hangs over the
city a menace that is growing daily
more threatening, on account Of the
u~nsanitary conditions which result
from the failure to establish an ade
quate sewer system. If this were moi
indeed the most hcalthful location In
the world. II conditions and good luck
didn't befriend us, we would have suf
fered long ago.
Greater than the need OF gas fran
chises, street railway extensions
I, more buildings. is the need for a sew
err system. The former utilities are
being established by private enter
prises. The sewer system Is a com
mon need and must be attended to by
the people themselves. And we arr
