RESIGNS AS SECRETARY
WHOLESALE GR0CERS' CLUB

Col. d. X. B. Sellers, secretary of
the New Mexico Grocers' club, which
organization he founded June l, 1904,
has resigned and at a meeting of the
members of the club at Las Vegas on
Saturday last NJ. w. Browne, of
Browne, Manzanares & Company, of
Las Vegas, was chosen to succeed him
as seer etary.
Sellers resignation came al a sur
prise to the members Of the club, who
reluctantly accepted it.. Since the or
ganization of the club, Mr.. Sellers has
been one of its prime movers and has
done a vast amount of good work for
the wholesale grocers of New Mexico,
in regard to freight rates, etc.
In explaining his resignation, Col.
Sellers stated to an Evening Citizen
reporter that such a move on his part
was made necessary, as he had too
much business on hand as secretary
of the territorial fair association, look
ing after the Casino and the like, to
give his position with the Grocers'
club the proper amount of attention.
The board transacted other routine
business, after which 1t adjourned to
meet next time in Albuquerque.

BAD EXAMPLE OF
LIfE'S LARGEST FAILURE
SELECTED
SELECTED

There is nothing so clever as irreproachable con.
duct" remarked Nine. de Maintenon long ago.
Maybe most of us never fully realize this simple
truth. Senator Thos. C. Plat reached his 72d birthday be.
fore it dawned upon him.
MY life" says Plat in mournful retrospection,
could have been much better; it has not been worth
while. If | had it to do over again l would model my po-
litical course along other lines"
Age ~atrophies our dearest vanities. Wealth, position
power, fame-the glittering things we grasp and treasure
in the glare of noon-do not glow so gloriousy in the fad
ing light of lfe's sunset.
It win be remembered that in Nine. de Maintenon's
own time the reckless French beauties, after their fling
at fleeing joys, were wont to retire to a convent to pass
their declining years in penance.
Human nature is much the same the world over and
through all time. And old Tom Plat is human.
In many respects Plat is %strikingly typical of high
American success.
He has millions of money, which we all worship.
He has large political power, which is the undoubted
right of every citizen.
He has great fame-not of the best quality, but at
least of his own making.
If wealth, prominence and power are the highest re-
wards of a %wellspent life, Senator Plat is ungrateful to
fortune and unjust to himself in complaining.
Perhaps, however, at this beated period of his life
Plat has the grace to reflect that he has put his undoubt.
ed talents to pretty poor use.
Had he but served the people as well as he has
served the corporations he might not now in his old age
be left without the comforts of conscience.
He has made millions for himself and more millions
for others, but all the money does not satisfy. He was for
years the real lawmaker of New York state, but not a law
he made can be pointed to with pride. In the United
States senate he is the most watchful agent of the corpor-
ations, but his name it attached to no great measure and
his voice has been heard in no utterance that anyone
cares to remember. He has gained wealth and power for
himself and his associates, regardless Of the cost to the
helpless public.
Many a wellmeaning man no doubt secretly enyies a
Plat and would gladly stop throwing stones and swap
place with him.
1t cannot be denied that the ruling influences and
tendencies Of business life in this country are toward
Plattism.
II Is too late for Plat to make much amendment. Bat
in his confessed disappointment there is much for young
er men TO think about.

WHO OWN THE RAlLRoAosa

Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport, Conn, in an address
before the Interstate Commerce committee OF the United
states senate, in February of the present year, stated
some things rather astonishing to those whose attention
had not previously been directed to such matters. He
said:
In my town Of 10000 people there are $4,000 deposit
ors in our four savings banks, and they own $4,000, 900 of
the securities of these railway companies.
In my state there are some 475,O0O depositors in our
savings banks and they own some $~S2,OOO,OOO of these Sc
curities.
In the six states of Maine, Connecticut, Massachu-
sets. New Hampshire. New Jersey, and New York there
are nearly 100000 depositors, and they own collectively
nearly S5OO,O0O,O0O of the securities of these railway
There are a large number of gentlemen associated in
this matter who are policy holders in the insurance com
panies, and want to call your attention to the Facts In
regard to those companies. There are almost 5,OOO,OOO or
binary policy holders in the life insurance companies OF
the United States There are also some ~14,OOO,OO0 indus
trial Motley holders in the four or five insurance compa-
MES which write that kind of policies. These life insur-
ance companies have about $SO0,0O0,0OO of these railway
securities.
The fire insurance companies in my state write one
sixth of the policies of the United States, and over one
half of the assets of all the fire insurance companies in
the United States are invested in these railway compa-
MES.
The various educational institutions of this country
are also heavy owners.
As a result of my inquiries and communications |
have ascertained that one-sixth of all the railway propert-
,es in this country are owned by the savings banks of those
six states( and of course that means owned by the. deposit
tors in the savings banks), the fire and life insurance
companies, and the educational institutions.

GOLDEN DAYS OF
YOUTH AND COMFORT

Right in this hot end of July don't you wish you were
a boy again?
Yes, you are doing the best you can. You wear gauze
underwear and take cold baths and there is an electric
fan in the office. Life is bearable. You have prickly heat
only about half the time and the heat has not entirely
transformed you into a human crouch.
Oh, but think of the time when you didn't care what
you wore; of overalls and bare feet, and s~plashing behind
the sprinkling cart; of the long summer vacation, of
shady hooks; of a seat high up in the branches of a tree
where the aroma laden breezes famed you and even the
birds forgot to be afraid. Gee! But those were heavenly
days!
"oh, Billlee! Bill Let's go swimming Mother says
l cant you cried.
And from across the field came this: Cant; gotta hoe
corn-darn it."
"Canyougo fl help?'
An hour later the patter of bare, SCARED feet could
be heard on the hard thistle-bordered COW path that
wound through Hodges COW pasture. You whooped and
yelled and shucked your clothing as you ran. First in is
the best. That is an unwritten law that dates back to
primitive man.
All ready. Two brown bodies cleave the air and the
COWS under the spreading chestnut tree stop chewing their
cd for a moment as a mighty splash is heard. You and
the neighbours boy are in swimming.
Isn't it fine? Isn't it about the best thing that ever
happened? You splash Billy and he plasters your brown
back with mud balls. Poets have raved over the old
swimming hole. Painters have approached it, brush in
hand, and the subject is too big for them, just as it is for
the editor who has written this with a pain in his heart
as he fights flies and heat and thinks of the golden days
of childhood.
The feel of the water is as grateful as is ice to the lips
of the fever patient. You stay in until by all the rules of
science you should be III, and then you stay in some more.
Then comes the struggle to get dressed first, and after
that another run along the crooked COW path, while the
sun slips away behind the trees.
You can never do that again. 1t belongs to youth and
the time when there was no care.
But it is cooling and refreshing and good to think
about in these hot days of midsummer.

HEADS OR TAILS.

Does the water organ want to say that the contract
made between the city and the water company diners
from the franchise which authorized the contract? If such
is the assertion of the official and interested organ of the
Water Supply company, then the sooner suit is brought to
annual the contract as illegal, the better 1t will be for the
city; and that it will be done, the water organ can bet Its
boots.
Every one knows that the franchise is the only auth
GRITTY binding the city. Hence, when the Journal misstated
the city's obligations, The Citizen went to the source OF
authority, the only contract by which the city can be
bound. the franchise itself. The water organ denied the
correctness of The Citizens quotation, but this paper pro-
duced it's authority, page so, Ordinances of the City OF
Albuquerque, printed 1905, and it was found that The
Citizens quotation was verbatim, word for word, as this
paper had quoted it. The Journal may learn a lesson.
When you undertake to kill a snake, never begin with its
tail but go at first for its head. If you want to know what
the contract is between the city and the water company,
go to the franchise, for that is the head and sole authority
and there you will find what the contract with the city is,
Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1905-07-24
CITIZENS EXPERT NEEDED.

The water organ is trying to make the impression
that The Citizen opposes the selection Of an expert to
examine the Water Supply company's plant and place an
estimate upon its value. OF course, this effort is in keep
ing with the water organs insincerity and unreliablity
throughout this controversy. On last Tuesday evening,
the first issue Of The Citizen after the report of the coun-
ellis special committee, this paper said: "The Citizen
suggests to the people of Albuquerque who are the parties
vitality interested in this question, and especially to the
water consumers of albuquerque, that they take steps at
once to appoint a citizens committee to act for them and
employ an expert at their own expense, independently Of
the expert employed at the instance Of the city council
and the Water Supply company. This will obviate any
possible objection to the action Of the city council in the
premises, providing for the payment Of the expert in the
manner above stated."-the payment Of half the experts
expenses by the water company.
The Citizen has seen no reason to change its recon-
m~endation, and 1t renews it with emphasis. The report
signed by two OF the special committee, which the city
council r~epudieted by refusing to adopt, declared the only
thing possible for the city TO do is the purchase Of the
present water plant How disinterested an expert would
be. selected by the majority Of the committee already
pledged TO the absurd position that nothing is left to the
city but the purchase OF the present plant, can easily be
determined by every one for himself. Hence. the only Sc
curity for the city is to have an expert selected by a citi-
Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1905-07-24
AUTHORITY is GIVEN.

The Albuquerque Water Supply company, as repre-
scented by its official and interested organ, wants to know
on what authority The Citizen states that a new and up to
date plant, ample for the citys needs can be installed for
approximately $4,000.
The Citizen answers with pleasure that Colonel Jas
tro, whose company put in such a plant in San Bernar-
dino, a city about the size of Albuquerque, and where
there was already an efete Holly system established, as
there is here, said to The Citizen that such a plant, with
twelve wells scattered in different parts of the city, and
with mains, pumps, hydrants and stand pipes should not
cost more than $4,000 or there abouts.
Colonel Jastro has had personal experience in this
matter; and, therefore, his distnterested utterances is of
more value than that of the water organ which is trying
to unload the present water plant on the city, in order
that the company may realize some of the Speculation
it had in view when 1t bought the equity last March, and
thus be able to pay the owners of the Journal what was
promised them when the equity was purchased.

LESSON FOR THE FUTURE.

Yes. Il has been fearfully hot. Babies have gasped
and died by hundreds. Tenements have been turned into
furnaces. The sick and poor, herded because of poverty
in homes that are little better than ovens, are forced to
realize their desperate condition.
Take from your own life pure air, cold water and
proper nourishment and you win know what they endure.
They scorched and suffered; they slept on roofs and
fire escapes; and only a stones throw away ice Chchleu
In thin glasses. electric fans cooled the air and there
were comforts and Injuries for those who could pay Tor
them.
The newspapers issued extras which told in bold type
ahe awful story of heat mortality. The doctors said: We
must do something to save the babies And hnahy PARKS
were thrown open; ice was given away ana some very
GOOD people in almost every city in the land proved that
they we're really sorry for the sunerings of the poor
We are slow-criminallly slow, says an exchange.
Every year we make the same old mistakes. We are
sorry for the babies and we think Of them-when they are
dying. We think about the suffering in the tenements-
when the newspapers tell us about it; and of the need OF
air, good water and good food, when the numerals come III
almost endless procession.
But these tragedies happened last year and the year
before. They seem to be a part of our careless ciVllza-
ton. They can be prevented.
It is the duty of every municipality to make living
possible-to give the babies a chance.
Here is where Europe is getting ahead OF us: and yet
ours is in theory, but alasl only in theory, a government
"of the people, by the people and for the people ours
is a constituencies scramble of greed, where money Is
worth more than men, where dividends outweigh the
value of babies. Europe is setting us the example OF mu-
inequalities conducted for the good Of all rather than for
the enrichment of the few.
America must come to it. 1t may mean the spending
of much money. It may mean the appointment of SAM
tary commissions who will pull down dissraceiul tene
ments and let in light and air. 1t may mean that cities
will have to buy ice and pure milk, OF pace tents LII
cots in the parks.
II is all worth while. It is the higher civilization. The
tragic lesson of this summer should mean that never
again could the horrors of July, 1906, be repeated

The petition for a franchise for a second light plant
at Roswell has led the old company to improve its plant
by the installation of new machinery and giving better
service. In consequence the application of the new com
pany for a franchise has been withdrawn. There is a hint
to Albuquerque, as showing a method OF bringing its wa
ter company to time and compelling it to give better and
cheaper service.-New Mexican.

Secretary Bonaparte of the navy department is main
tanning his reputation for independence of thought and
action, says an exchange. He has re instated engineers
removed by his predecessor, and has turned down rec
concentrations of his subordinates relative to the naming
of naval vessels. He very plainly states his reasons for
his action, and in both cases has been upheld by the presl
dent. Paul Morton dismissed competent men to make
room for his friends friends.
