Americas Diamond Expert

From the time a diamond is taken
from the Kimberley mines. shipped by
the De Beers syndicate from South
Africa to London, transformed into a
sparkling gem in Belgium or England,
and sent to the United States. it
passes through many hands. Nowhere,
probably, is it examined more keenly,
however, than by the officers connected
with the office of the collector of the
port of New York. 1t is Il fascinating
room, this small office in the apprais-
ers' warehouse at Washinton and
Christopher streets, into which every
year pour millions Of dollars worth
of precious stones. General Mindil,
who presides over this room. spent
thirty years in the precious stone bust

years ago. He is the chief expert of
the department. the man upon whom
the department relies to see that Eu-

ernment out of the duty to which un-
der the tariff laws the country is justly
entitled.

Moving paY at the Zoo

The Bronx geological park has al
most 300 tenants in the various apart
ment houses of this animal city. With
it's big popuation going into winter
quarters moving day at the geological
park is no small task. The birds of
the tropics represented the advance
guard of the movers. They did not
wait for even single visit from Jack
Frost but went into their winter
abodes more than two weeks ago. With
the first suspicion of the approaching
cold they quickly deserted their sum-
mer homes in the spacious grounds
and took up their winter quarters in
the snug, steam-heated little apart
ments where they will live until sum-
mer invites them out OF doors again.
Their park homes are well heated and
with plenty of windows toward the
sun, are made to resemble their tropic-
al homes as much as possible. Most
of these feathered immigrants were so
young when they came to New York
they have little recollection of their
native country, with its sunlight and
freedom and, not knowing, they are
content and even happy.

Father knickerbocker's Foresight

The city of Now York is paying a
pretty penny for the downtown prop
crty. which it simply must have for
its public buildings. one plot alone of
less than half an acre cost $1,000, 900
the price paid Tor the great Central
park site about seventy years ago. Yet.
in the matter of buying real estate
for public purposes, the carly doges
of New York seem to have been far
sighted. When Father Knickerbocker
first began investing in park property
on the island of Manhattan in the
early part of the last century he prob
ably had no idea that before another
hundred years rolled over his head
his holdings in that particular kind of
realty would make him Il richer old
man than any of the Astors, or all
the Astors together in fact AS an in
stance of his unconscious foresight,
his fine exhibit as a real estate specu-
lator is shown in Central park, which,
with the adjoining Manhattan square,
he bought i'm 1889 for s5.0O0,000. When
he made this purchase and proposed
Walling the property in for the purpose
of breathing place and pleasure
ground for his sons and daughters for
ali time the idea was ridiculed by
many of the townfolk, who looked upon
what is now Fifty-ninth street as a
distant country or, at least, rural
district too remote TO be of any inn
mediate concern to New Workers.

Rod Of His Wrath
Seen i'm Daily Life

William Allen White has a recent story entitled
THE Rod of His Wrath" Briefly. John Markley is a
western banker who builds up a large fortune. His wife,
a good plain woman, has stood by him and helped for
many years. Prosperity weakens Markley's morals. He
takes up with an oversexed young woman, There is
scandal and a divorce. Markley marries the young
woman. Then comes the slow sequel of an old man
holding the social pace, loss of self-respect, scorn Of the
second wife, paralysis, misery. Somehow the s%tored-up
wrath of the Almighty finds Msrkley and His rod exc
cutes vengeance. The story, like all true fiction, re-
fleets the sin of a materialistic age 1t is typical.
Note the story of w. E. Corey, who is the head Of
the steel trust. He deserted a faithful wife who had
helped him to climb up to his present place, and con
sorted with a young actress. Corey threw his wife aside
as a child would dispose of a doll whose fresh paint was
rubbed off. There is to be IA divorce and Corey is to
marry his calow actress. Already the rod Of Gods
wrath is shifting Corey. The steel trust will probably
discharge him. The trust is not letting Corey go D-
cause of his domestic troubles. The trust is not moved
by sentimental, but by business motives. But the trust
understands that when a man goes down morally he goes
down mentally. No man can dissipate, give champagne
suppeTs after the show to actresses and come down to
business next morning with firm nerves and a clear
head. The trust pays big salaries for firm nerves ana
clear heads. 1t wants what 1t pays for. In discharging
Corey, the steel trust is not trying to preach a moral
lesson. 1t is not in the preaching business. 1t is in
business for business. Nevertheless, the trust is the
instrument Of Gods wrath. one of his rods, just the same.
Modern business puts a mighty big premium on
decency. You cannot work for a railroad or any big
corporation and drink whisky. Even the bar tender
must be sober If he would hold his job. Business de-
mands gray matter filled with good rich blood-the bright
eye, the quick judgment, the alert mind. No man who
Is wrong at home can be right abroad. No man can
disregard the wife of his youth and have a clean life.
And the clean mind goes with the clean life. And so
God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform.
He operates through his moral law, which like a scarlet
thread, runs through all material things. The way OF
the transgressor is hard, and the wages of sin is death.

Showing Rapid Chamge

It is well known that the st. Louis Globe Democrat
has been an ardent opponent Of joint statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona, while favoring with equal ardor the
jointure of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. But that
astute organ has seen a great light; it has read the
handwriting on the wall; and it has completely changed
front on the western proposition. In the issue of Dec.
81, the Globe Democrat says;
By admitting Arizona and New Mexico now We WI,
have given a political organization to all the region on
the mainland of the United States, and have settled the
statehood matter for many years, or until Alaska knocks
for admission. The proposed state Of Arizona will be
large in area, but it will be smaller than Texas. Both
ends were part Of the same territory until 1868, when
Arizona was set off by itself.
Under the joint annexation resolution Texas was per-
mitted to divide herself into four additional states when
ever population justified and the consent of Texas and
Of congress could be obtained. Texas Is growing with
great speed in inhabitants, but nobody proposes to divide
the state. Nobody ever will make any such proposition
seriously. After Arizona and New Mexico live together
as a state for a few years they will probably resist all
ideas of separation.
AT the outset in the joint statehood movement, there
was strong opposition in both New Mexico and Arizona
to the merger. This is disappearing, however, and prob
ably a majority of the people Of the two territories today
favor the union. Many newspapers in each territory
are supporting the Hamilton bill, and the drift in this
direction by the press is great enough to attract at
tenion.
The politicians in each territory are opposed to joint
statehood. They have been opposed to il all along.
two states would have double as many offices as one, and
the politicians want to have as many Offices as possible.
But the politicians are being put in the background. The
real leaders of the people in New Mexico and Arizona
are coming out for joint statehood. Their influence
will have much effect on congress.
We hear Of some opposition to, the two state bill
from a few republican senators and from many demo-
Gratis. It will not avail. Congress is determine to
remove. before the end of this session, all statehood
Legislation from the slate. There will be no important
opposition to this programme, either in or out of any of
the territories. Two stars will soon be added TO the
national galaxy. tmeaning Oklahoma and Arizona the

A Texas Movement
Worthy to Follow

The tree planting club on the Staked Plains in the
Panhandle of Texas appears to be an accomplished fact.
When a forester from the department of agriculture at
tended the farmers congress at Amarillo last August,
the suggestion was made that the people organize a club
for the purpose of establishing groves of trees on theiI
farms. This region is naturally treeless, but there is
every reason to believe that certain species of trees
will grow If they are properly planted and cared for.
The people of the section have shown such interest in
the proposition that the association has already nearly
600 members. 1t is proposed to organize local dvis-
ions in each of the towns and spread the idea throughout
the whole Panhandle.
The definite objects of the club are to find out what
kinds of trees are best adapted to the region, and how
they shall be planted, and to obtain the necessary ma
terial in the most advantageous way. The forest service
has agreed to send a competnet man to advise the peo-
Pile on all these points, and when definite plans for plant
ing shall have been made, the individual members Will
combine and purchase their stock in large quantities
from the nurserymen. Every farmer in the western
country recognizes the value of trees about MIN, and
there is no better evidence of the interest of the people
in any practicable plan for the establishment of groves
in that section than this movement in Texas. The club
Idea has been followed for the furtherance of many other
projects. but this is perhaps the first time that it has
been brought to the advancement of tree planting. AS
an encouragement to other sections to work in the same
way, the forest service at Washington directly offers to
furnish expert advice whenever a community shall or
ganize a club of this kind and indicate its desire to es-
tablish tree plantations.

Our Next

II is undeniable that II. J. Hagerman, in all which
he has done and said since the first announcement of his
nomination as New Mexico's next governor, has but add
ed to the public admiration of him personally and to the
general qualification at his appointment In nothing
has this been more marked than in his refusal to have
a would-be gorgeous inaugural which some of his friends
with less wisdom than he, desired to arrange for him.
A quiet, official inaugural is not only in much better
taste, but is eminently more consonant with the desires
of the people of New Mexico.
On Thursday, a number of the leading people OF
Santa Fe collectively called on Mr.. Hagerman, and again
in what he said to them he showed the good sense which,
if continued throughout his administration, and there is
no reason to doubt it, will send his term of Office down
into history as one of the ablest and best the territory
has known. According to the New Mexican:
Mr.. Hagerman assured his visitors that he would
take the office OF governor with no prejudice against any
Of its citizens, but with an earnest desire to harmonic
all conflicting elements and TO use his whole influence &c
punish crime, reduce public expenses and otherwise con-
tribute to the advancement and material w%ellbeing OF
the territory and its l%awabiding inhabitants.
He further stated that he was by no means a recent
convert to joint statehood for New Mexico and Arizona
as one state. but believing such a jointure for the best
interests of both territories, publicly advocated it more
than two years ago.

The Las Vegas Optic says; "A committee of the
Albuquerque city council has made a wise and timely
report on the social evil as it exists in that city. The
most important part of the report is that which recon-
mends the removal of the demi-monde from the heart OF
the city. There are recommendations also which II
carried out will result in preventing the social evil from
being an ofense TO the eyes of citizens and visitors.
The Citizen believes that practically the unanimous SEN
timent of the city is in favor of the speedy carrying out
of the committees report in every particular. What a
magnificent, appropriate and acceptable Christmas gift
it had been, could the city council have presented to
Albuquerque, on this glad occasion, the removal of the
present nauseous an dpestilential ulcer from the fair
body of our municipality!
