THR FATR DEFICIT

ANY Albuquerque people do but belitte themselves
when they allow so small a matter as the lifting Of a
$4,000 Indebtedness to press heavily on their minds. This
amount is a mere bagatelle, when one considers what AL
buquerque has done not only for the fair but for several
other vital enterprises, rather than do without one OF
which the city would readily do the same thing over
again.
OF course, it is unfortunate that this money must
be applied to past Indebtedness, instead OF going to make
future success greater and more profitable. But what
is the use of sitting down to weep over an accumulation
of accidents or mistakes? All the ordinations and re-
ordinations, all the signs and tears, from now till dooms-
day cannot recall the past or undo what has once been
done. The only thing man can do is to let the teachings
of the past make him wiser for the future.
There is no doubt that Albuquerque is wiser than
heretofore, as regards her fair, both as to its character
and the proper methods of management. But of this
there is plenty Of time for interchange o. views. The
question now is upon the removal Of the deficit. A long
step in the right direction was taken in the election of
the new officers. They are well known, prominent and
longtime residents of his city. What has made them
successful business men will make them good fair ofic-
ials. For anyone to attempt to compliment them would
he Ike the proverbial effort to gnd refined gold. TheS
are known and read of all men, and their fitness for the
places to which they have been called by their fellow
townsmen, is universally recognized. It goes without
saying that they will do whatever may be possibly done.
There viii be on their part no lack Of efforts intelligently
directed
But, after all. the raising of the deficit Will depend
upon the nberality of the people. They must supply the
money, whatever the plans may be for its contribution.
AS a starter, the suggestion that those who had compli-
mentary tickets to the last fair, now pay for them,
seems to be a good one. OF course no obligation, moral
or legal. requires that they shall do so. 1t will be a free
will gift on their part, an evidence of their liberality,
something which will cost but little to each while adding
a considerable sum to the last fair assets. Then, too, Mr..
Rutherfords example is worthy of imitation. He pro-
poses to devote to the liquidation of the fair debt one
half of the first years premiums paid to his office on Al
buquerque business during the next six months. There
are other business lines which can take the hint here
expressed. Then there are many other ways for raising
money which the officials no doubt will adopt. But of
them all, through them all, there is but one word to be
said to the people of Albuquerque Act with your usual
liberaiity and act at once that this incubus may be re-
moved out of the way.

A FINE PLAY HERE
SATURDAY NIGHT

Fascinating and Clever" are
some Of the milder adjectives the
critics employ to describe the acting
of Miss Carol Arden, who is to play
the leading role in Polly Primrose"
at the Elks' opera house, Saturday,
October %.
She has been seen in a repertoire
Of different parts, and interpreted all
with a Skill and fidelity that show
her to be an artist of rare accom-
plishments. Mr.. Justice, who will
perform the part of Carlysle, was lead
ing man with "BelascO's Heart of
Maryland" for two seasons, and was
the Denton of the Arizona Com
pany" for the last two seasons.
With these trained impersonators
in the chief places, the play lovers of
Albuquerque are assured Of an wen
ing of unusual pleasure, when the
rollicking Polly makes her bow to
them. The story is one of the time
of the Civil war, with Cupid peep
ing in on the scene and turning
things all his own way when the sit
| uation becomes strenuous. There are
enough sensational episodes in it to
keep the spectator stirred up while
he watches the unfolding of the love
| romance that is interviewer with
them, to which, indeed, they are only
incidental. It is not to be taken toe
seriously. however, from the stand
point either of Mars or of Cupid

situations that win the cal and eye

BOON

George B. Mcclellan has a boom. The logic of events
now taking place in New York is that he will be the
democratic nominee for president in 1908.
McClellan's growing prominence recalls the political
history OF 1882 and on, which led to the election of Gro
yer Cleveland. The republicans of New York were then,
as now, rent by factonal strife. At that time Dan Man
ming began grooming the mayor of Buffalo for the presi-
Dental nomination; now Murphy of Tammany is appar-
emily grooming Mcclellan. At that time the democrats
were quite destitute of presidential timber. Such is the
case now.
ANY mention of Mcclellan for the presidential nom.
ination raises the Old question whether Mcclellan is elig-
ible. The constitution requires the president to be a
natural born" citizen OF the United States. Mcclellan
was born while his parents were travelling fer pleasure
in Dresden, Saxony. His parents, of course. were c,ti.
zens of the United States, and it is claimed thar the ac.
cident which resulted in the sons birth on foreign soil
could not deprive him of his citizenship. Mrs. Mcclellan
wrote a letter to a friend when her son vas born. re
GREETING that the absence from their native soil would
make the boy ineligible for the presidency. But even
mothers opinion is not conclusive of constitutional ques
lions. Lawyers who have made a study of the prece
dents say there is no question at all that Mcclellan u
eligible.
This much is granted by even his political enemies
When he was elected mayor Of New York he was know
as the son of his father. He has successfully goyerne
the second city Of the world. He is standing squarey OF
his own feet and deserves TO rank as q national charaC
ter However, the coming election for mayor of Ne'
York, will go far towards settling the question OF Homii
alton.

PROMINENT HOTEL MAN
VISITING ALBUQUERQUE
AMAZED AT PRoGREssIVENEss
OF CITY AND THINKS CLIMATE
FINEST IN THE WORLD,

]. A. Ray. proprietor of the Iron
Springs hotel Manitou, Colo, and a
leading hoteI man of that popular Col
orado summer resort, arrived in the
city from the west this morning and
is spending the day in Albuquerque.
Mr.. Ray is on his return TO Manitou
from a trip To- Portland and the vari-
Gus California resorts, but on his en-
tire trip he says that he has not Wis
tied a point that impresses him as
much as Albuquerque. He is not only
amazed at the wonderful progressive
ness of the city, but thinks the eli
mate far superior to that of Califor-
mia.
There is no reason said Mr.. Ray,
why Albuquerque should not be one
of the finest winter resorts i'm the
world and | believe that in time it will
be. OF course, | think Colorado in
general and Nanitou in particular has
the finest summer climate in the
country, but in winter it gets very
cold"
During the past summer contin-
ued MI. Ray, 'ManitOu had one of the
most successful seasons in its history.
AS an ideal summer resort | do not
think that it has an equal. Situated
as it is at the foot of Pixies Peak,
whose summit is reached by the fam
Gus Cog railroad, it has a worldwide
reputation. it has some celebrated
springs, among which are the sulphur
springs, iron springs and soda
springs. A great deal of this water is
bottled and shipped to every corner
of the globe"
Mr.. Ray will continue to his home
in Colorado on No. 8 this evening.

VIEW OF WISE MAN

Elsewhere The Citizen republishes a letter from
Senator Beverage to Mayor Gibson of Santa Fe. The
New Mexican, in which the letter appeared last evening,
says of it: This letter is certain to awaken resentment
in the breast Of citizens of New Mexico and Arizona,
even if not opposed to joint statehood, and it certainly
will make no converts from the ranks of those who hon
estly prefer separate statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona." t.-
This comment of the Nestor of the New Mexico
press, serves to show how wise men will differ. Quite
recently Senator Beverage wrote to a prominent citizen
of Ardmore, Indian Territory, and in his letter used this
language. sit is my emphatic opinion that the bill max
ing Oklahoma aid the Indian Territory one state under
the name of Oklahoma will pass both the senate and the
house and become a law very early in the next session.
Certainly no bill making the Indian Territory a separate
state has the slightest chance of passing"
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat commenting editorial
ly on this part of the letter says: This ought TO have
some effect on the separate state boomers. Mr.. Bever-
idge is the chairman of the committee on territories in
his branch of congress. He knows the sentiment Of his
chamber on the territorial admission question as well as
does and man in it. There is not, as he says, the
faintest chance for an Indian Territory separate state
bill to pass. Nor would a separate state bill for Oklaho-
ma go through either house. There is no room for doubt
on these points. The sentiment of congress on the state
hood question has so often been revealed that it is hardly
necessary to call further attention to it, Separate state
hood, which was turned down in the two latest congress
es. would be still weaker in the body which is soon to as
semble."
Substitute New Mexico or Arizona for Indian Terri
tory or Oklahoma, and there you have II.

BROWN OCTOBER AS We
KNEW IT IN CHILDHOOD DAYS
Selected .

Along the glade and on the hill
The rudy oaks are glowing;
And merry winds are out all night,
Through all the forests Blowing.
The yellow moon is clear and bright,
The silent upland lighting;
The meadow grass is crisp and white,
The frosts are keen and biting.
A shining moon; a frosty sky,
A gusty morn to follow;
To drive the withered leaves about,
And heap them in the hollow.
Hurrahl the nuts are dropping ripe
In all the wildwood bowers
Wen climb as high as squirrels go,
And shake them down in showers.
When heads are gray and eyes are dim,
Wen call the autumn sober;
But now, with life in every limb,
We love the brown October.

"On the Dorset coast, in the isle OF
Purbeck, to the west OF st. Afban>s S
Head, an outcrOp occurs of bituminous
shale, which extends more or less for
some miles. AS a source OF fuel this
shale, or coal, has been worked from
very early times and is to the present
day used by the cottagers of Kimme'
ridge. Some of this shale is of so
compact texture that it is capable
of being worked into ornamental ar
ticles, taking high polish, similar to

part of Dorset, discovered not only
the properties Of this deposit as a
fuel but also it's capabilities of being
turned in lathe into rings, beads and

Ceremonious Forms of Express
sion that Appear Vastly ANUS
ing to the Listener Belonging
to the Old World

Very curious are some Of the rules
IF etiquette observed by Chinaman.
Emile Bard, who has written a book
on the subject of Chinese life, says
that in nine cases out Of ten, however,
the form of etiquette has replaced the
substance. With the Chinese refusal
or unpleasant truth must be expressed
eyasively. If Chinaman does not
wish to accommodate a friend ne
never gives the true reason for his
refusal; that would be discourteous.
He lies politely. The ceremonious
forms of expression used in ordinary
conversation seem very amusing to
the European listener: 1t is a fixed
rule that one must speak of himself
and of all belonging to him in the
humblest of terms and use the, most
exalted language in referring to the
person or property of another.
Whether two mandarins or two beg
sars meet and accost each others this
is sample of their conversation:
"What is your honorable name?"
"Your insignificant brothers name is
Wang" where is your noble dwell
ing?" "The hovel in which I hide
myself is in -" designating the
