manner of the old-time husking bee,
wind up their days work with

bend the bushy tops of two rows
sntil they meet and overlap each
other. Beginning at one end of the
field each boy or girl, works back

broom corn districts of Illinois this
operation is the same except that in

Broom corn grows to about the
height of ordinary field corn, and is
cultivated on areas comprising hum
dreds of acres each. The corn is
Topped soon after it has bloomed and
the seeds have begun to fill. In its
new position ii is left TO mature, the
length of time required depending
upon the weather. The cutters grasp
the brush in handfuls two-and-a-half
feet long and separate it from the
stalks. Curiously enough the bent
stalks of the parallel rows form a
table on which the handsful of brush
are laid to dry in the sun. Some
times it Is dried in sheds instead, or

THE NEXT GOVERNOR

The president is opposed to a third term, whether
that term is for himself or for his appointees. This he
has demonstrated beyond a peradventure. IT was, there
fsre, no matter of surprise when The Citizen, yesterday
afternoon, recseiyed by telegraph the Information that
H. j. Hagerman had been selected for the next governor
Of New. Mexico.
Herbert j. Hagerman will be thirty -four years OF
age the 18th of next month; and by those who know him
he is said to be a man of large ability, broad culture,
extensive foreign travel. diplomatic experience and high
Ideals in civic righteousness and personal and political
morals. He is popular and respected where best known,
and above all else is an enthusiast in the matter OF
developing the resources OF this sunshine land, having
personal experience in stock raising, agriculture, fruit
raising and management of irrigation enterprise.
From the New Mexican The Citizen learns that Mr..
Hagerman was born in Milwaukee, at the age of ten ac-
at Cornell university in 1890, was graduated in 1894, took
a law course at the same university, was admitted to
the Colorado bar in 1896, in 1898 was appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley second secretary of the United States
embassy at st. Petersburg where he served for three
years and received the order of st. Anne from the car,
and in 1901 resigned and became a citizen of New
Mexico.
When Governor otero was shown the dispatch an
nOuncing the presidents selection, he said to the repre-
sentative of the New Mexican:
Il suppose your correspondent is reliable; as soon as
the report is confirmed | shall congratulate Mr.. Hager-
man. l have nothing to say in the matter except that /
have a very high regard for Mr.. Hagerman, whom | have
known for several years, and who, in my opinion, is a
standing in the community. When relieved from duty
as governor of this territory, l shall, without regret and
with the kindliest feelings, retire to private life, feeling
that | have done my duty to the best Of my ability, and
have always acted, as far as man can, for the best inter-
ests and the good name of our people"
The Citizen thinks it has ample ground for congrat-
ulating the president upon the wisdom of his choice, Mr..
HageTman upon the opening before him of a field of laud-
Mexico upon the prospect of an upright, able and useful
executive.

Cloud ON the Horizon
of European Peace

A new crisis as they say in diplomatic circles. has
arisen in Europe. A little cablegram of thirty-ni
words on last Wednesday tells something of a story which
undoubtedly fills volumes in the foreign offices of the old
country An ultimatum was sent to Turkey and the
International feet is expected to concentrate at Piraeus
on or about tomorrow to enforce the proposed interna-
uonal control of the finances in Macedonia"
Pretty familiar sounds are the words Macedonia and
Turkey but this time the situation looks serious. There
are possibilities of marching armies in southeastern
Europe, of a fine fleet sailing up to Constantinople, of the
extinction of fanatical Abdul Hamid as a figure in Europe
and even of a great clash between the great Christian
nations of the old world. Last winter, when Turkey
faned to put an. end to the bloody disorders in Macedonia
certain reforms in the disturbed country. Turkey, as
usual, promised but procrastinated. The foreign offices
sent notes, correspondent, consulted and finally decided
on a joint naval demonstration in the eastern Mediter-
ranean to brighten the sultan into activity. The result
OF this agreement was the ultimatum published Wednes-
day, and 1t Is presumed that the fleet of nations Is now
FORMING. An Austrian admiral will be the commander
vi the allied squadrons; and this selection is significant
OF a purpose to really do something, because on former
demonstrations of this character there has been merely
cooperation between naval commanders.
There is added significance in the fact that Austria,
Russia being impotent at this juncture, has been forming
an army in her southeastern provinces of Bosnia and
and Herzegovina so that in the event of a failure of the
naval demonstration she will be able to send a large body
or troops across the frontier into Turkish Macedonia 10
enforce the orders of her colleagues. Strong as all this
seems there is a ray of hope for the sultan in the un-
fortunate tact that the allied nations are by no means
one on the details of the reforms to be imposed on the.
porte. Germany, probably with a political ace Nd his
sleeve, has held aloSf from the force movement and will
take no part in the naval demonstration. Great Britain
france, Italy, Russia and Austria will be represented in
the fleet, but the last two countries are not in accord with
the first three as to future plans and will probably be
found lined up with Germany when the hnality arrives in
Turkey and Macedonia.

a Country the People
of Which are Outcas&s

Away down towards the far end of the procession
lhere is a yellow face with almond eyes and a strange
gutteral accent which marks the savage. That is China
trying to catch the step of progress, TO be a nation among
nations, a man among men. Out of the darkness of the
ages China is preparing for a constitution and to allow
the millions who have been slaves for more years than
history reckons TO drop their servile ways, abandon many
of their superstitions and taste freedom.
1t is a fine picture. 1t seems like the dawn of the
millennium, but to the student of history it is too good
10 De true. The Chinese are a race accuTsed of human
hy. Every hand is against them. In some countries
they are scarcely credited with being human beings, and
have been hunted for sport. They have been classed
as yermin and the yellow peril is the fear Of nations.
Not long since, in New Zealand Lionel Terry, a noted
E~hgIshman, shot Kun Young, a feeble old Chinaman,
dead on the street. 1t was done as one would SNUFF the

A BUSY WINTER

There are several matters which President Roosevelt
will bring before congress this winter. Upon all of them
he will find his party divided, but on only one of them
are the people of the country against him. That is the
lowering of the wall of exclusion against Chinese immi-
grafton This measure is proposed by the manufactur-
ing interests of the country, which want access to Chi
nese markets, from which there is threatened exclusion
unless our exclusion regulations are ameliorated. But
the country at large is almost solidly opposed to the
proposal
The measures on which the president will find a
divided party and a strong political opposition will be a
reform of the tariff, either with or without reciprocity;
government control of railway rates; the extension Of a
modified civil service to presidential postmasters; the
Legislation necessary to an early completion of the Pana-
ma canal; the protection of the people against the en-
~croachments of the trusts. and many other matters OF
more or less general interest, among them probably being
the admission of two new states-Oklahoma and Arizona.
The strenuous president will have a strenuous time,
amid certainly those who shall oppose the measures which
he proposes, will find themselves very deep in extra hot
water.

The readers of The Citizen were informed last
evening of two very important items of news-the selec-
ton OF New MeXicos next governor, and the application
OF successful performance of duty TO the tenure of presi-
DENTAL postmasters. AS far as the Aftermath is con-
cerned, the people of Albuquerque are still ignorant OF
these very important matters; but no doubt the paper
which always looks backward will be able to get around
TO these things, among many others, in the course of the
next lew days or weeks. However, while not having
given the people the information mentioned, the After
main must be congratulated on the long If not able arti-

certainly had an admirable conception Of the fitness OF
things when it sent an article on loco to the morning

1t is not too early to talk about early shopping. 1t
is a common practice to beg people to shop early in order
TO save wear and tear on clerks, especially women clerks.
That is all right and humane and kind. But the main
point is one of self-interest. Nine-tenths of the goods
yon want for holiday purposes are in the stores now.
You can find everything your heart could desire or your
means cover, on counters and shelves. You can find
competent clerks who are not too busy to devote time 10
you, You can shop quietly and calmly, which, is good
Tor the nerves. There Is another item. 1t is often
easier to purchase IS worth of holiday goods each week
for four weeks than it is to save the money for a $40
splurge in a single shopping trip. Good advice is wasted
on some folks, but there are enough people who desire
to avoid shopping trials, and who are grateful when
their memories are logged, to make ii worth while to
print this editorial.
