Is Life Worth Living?

Well that depends, when a
man is spending half a million
dollars of others peoples money,
for his own pleasure, it doubtless
seems as if it was; but when he
gets caught at his little game
and gets ten years at hard labor
in the federal pen life's value,
from his standpoint may become
very much modified.
1t makes all the difference in
the world whether one enjoys or
endures existence, and Frank
Bigelow, the defaulting Milwau-
kee banker, will have had a
large dose of both kinds before

it looks as if the New Mexican
were on top, as the people of our
Territory who want single state
hood out number those who favor
joint strtehood by at least five to
one. The funny part about these
papers is that they think their
own cities are the 'entire
cheese" and that there is mighty
little left in our Territory outside
of Albuquerque, Las Vegas and
Santa Fe, although the latter
does not appear as selfish and as
envious as do the others.
The New Mexican at any rate,
never says anything derogatory
of any section of the Territory
but publishes and has published
many articles of great value and
that paper is constantly adver-
Using and pushing forward every
part of our Territory, although it
seems to give much space to
Santa Fe's affairs. The other
papers, especially the Journal and
the Optic see but little except
what is confined within their
own city limits and are very local
in their treatment of Territorial
questions.
The New Mexican and the Cit
izen together are a pretty strong
team and too much, if they stick
together, for the other two pa
pers combined with half a dozen
weekly papers.
Considering everything and
especially that the newspaper
field in Albuquerque is extensive
and the best in the Territory and
that the business chances of a
daily paper in Las Vegas are SUI
perior to those in Santa Fe, the
New Mexican is on top and gives
its opponents more than they bar
gained for and generally gets
away with them. The fighting
capacity of that paper seems to
be on top at all times and of a
strong kind. 1t is thoroughly
we'll posted upon political and
Territorial news and, as stated
above, does impartial and steady
work for every section of the
Territory, saying many good
words for the other cities, towns
and settlements whenever occa-
sion is at hand

having scraps and some bitter
ones. The Albuquerque Citizen
is fighting the Albuquerque Jour-
nal on the question of the extern
sion of the franchise of the
Water Supply Company for
twenty-one years longer, al
though that franchise has still
about fourteen years to run.
The position of the Citizen is for
the people and against the corpo-
ration that owns the Albuquer-
que Journal, and it is said, con-
trolls the stock of the Water Sup
ply Company. although, on the
surface, the Same is supposed to
have been sold to a syndicate of
Albuquerqueans, among whom
are two or three men of not very
savery character and reputation.
The Citizen insists that the Water
Supply Company now has a fran
chise which is oppressive on the
town and under which the Water
Supply Company collects big
water rates and has a soft snap;
that this franchise should not
be given another lease of life for
twenty-one years, as this would
doubtless prove very bad for the
city. The Albuquerque Journal,
on the other hand, claims that
the city must have more water
facilities now and that it makes
no difference how much and how
high the charges for water will
be, because the present need of
the extension of the water mains
and supply is imperative.
The Santa Fe New Mexican has
come to the rescue of the Citizen
and between the two they have
driven the Journel into a corner
from which it jumps out occasion
ally attacking its its opponents
in a vicious manner but doing
little harm.
The Citizen and New Mexican
seem to have about convinced the
people of Alburque that no ex-
tension of the franchise should
be given and it looks as if the
six members of the city council
are ready to vote for the interest
of the people and against the
bidding Of the Water Supply
Company and those who are sup
posed to own its stock.
The Las Vegas Optic jumps on
the New Mexican because that
paper a few days ago in a very
handsomely printed and illustrat-
ed edition, containing a very in
teresting and well written write
up on the scenic highway be-
tween Las Vegas and Santa Fe,
published an editorial telling
some facts conserving the publ
cation, which recently appeared
in the Western Review in st.
Louis and which mis-stated, to
say the very least, conditions
about the Fraternal Association s
sanitarium located at Las Vegas.
The New Mexican claims that
the Optic wilfully and Malignant
ly misinterpeted its position and
editorial and it seems to have the
argument. The albuquerque
Jotrnal uses the fight that has
been made by the Optic on the
New Mexican in this regard to
help itself and its water supply
franchise extension scheme and
uses the Optic as a stuffed club
wherewith to thurnp the New
Mexican.
The Optic does not seem to
know that the Journal has no use
for it, except when it suits its
o,vn n,,rnoea and an the war
