A correspondent, writing from
Washington, informs The Optic that
Delegate Andrews believes that rural
free delivery may be secured for Las
Vegas and that he Is willing to make
the attempt. The correspondent
quotes "a number of instances where
not more than GOO to 900 people are
served by rural delivery in a radius
Of twenty miles from the central post.
office. He feels sanguine that Las
Vegas can make a sufficient showing
to justify the improvement and urges
citizens to write to Delegate Andrews
at Albuquerque for blank petitions and
other blanks with which to make the
application.

roc BAD FOR US.

Whatever may be the merits Of the
contention that has been going on In
the public prints regarding Joint state.
hood, one phase Of the discussion Is
inconsistent and In poor taste. Quite
a number Of Arizona papers which are
opposed to jointure cOnfine them
selves to slandering New Mexico. As
a matter Of fact the people of New
Mexico are 0 law abiding. more
decent and make much better citizens
than do the citizens of Arizona. Ari.
IONA Is still. despite Its progress,
the widest and wooliest part Of the
United States and the people Of the
union so esteem It. Such enormities
as women In saloons, such an open
parade Of vice. such utter regard for
law and decency as may be found In
many Of the Arizona towns are un-
known in New MEXICO. Albuquerque
Is bad enough. but 1t Is no circum.
stance to Arizona towns. We have no
desire as u rule to call attention to
the %atrocious conditions of our sister
territory, but the "holier than thou
attitude assumed with such Pharisai.
cal zeal by the Arizona papers grows
wearisome. The decent law abiding
people Of New Mexico ought not be
forced into an unwelcome union with
a territory so morally corrupt and Sc
regardless Of law as Arizona.

A ROAST FROM THE COLONEL.

When Col, Henry Waterson of the
louisville Courier-Journal, arrived in
Now York the other day from his
European trip, he was ready with
some verbal fireworks on landing, that
are worthy attention. There Is likely
to be no violent disagreement, for ex.
ample. with this statement:
observed European aristocracy
pretty closely while | was over
there, and | have arrived at the con-
clusion that foreign aristocracy Is of
a much better grade than the Amer.
lean article. There a%ristocracy
means lineage and brains. Here
well, 1t ranges chiefly from bad
whisky to Standard oil.
Any preacher Of good Americanism
might make a text out OF that. When
asked to comment on the department
Of agriculture scandal, Col. Waiter
son said: 81 have often wondered
how so many scientific men connected
with the government at comparatively
small salaries could live so WELL" That
exhibits the acute observation for
which he Is noted. But when the
colonel adds, 1T only goes to show
that the college man Is not a sue.
cess In politics." he becomes too
sweeping, and WI should like to have
him stop and do more thinking over
his snapper.

The New Mexican Is arguing from
the wrong premise when 1t roasts the
Albuquerque police force SO ably. The
Albuquerque police have gone too far,
but they have been carrying out the
will Of the Albuquerque council and
the Albuquerque people. When m
word of blame is given to the police
ten words should be given to the peo-
pie who have made the methods EN-.
ployed possible.

'FROU EROU' IS
OLD FASHIONED
BURBANK AUDIENCE FAILS TO
ENTHUSE
Conversation So Incessant Members
of Stock Company Strive to Re-
member Their Lines and
Forget to Act

"Frou Frou," which occupies the
stage of the Burbank this week, proved
a trifie old fashioned for its audience
yesterday afternoon and there were no
wild outbursts of enthusiasm such as
usually mark the climaxes of the Sun
day entertainments as this theater.
'iFrou Frou" is talk, talk, talk. 1t
was an impossibility for stock com
pany to reach a state of perfection in
one weeks rehearsal which would al
low the actors to do more than remem-
ber the lines. In addition the heroine
Is a fool, the hero wooden and there
is practically no humor in the five
acts. What could any company do with
such material?
John w. Burton and Bennett South
ard rightly took the honors Of the per-
formance. Southard was the only one
who succeeded in securing any at
mosphere'' for his role. Most of the
others apparently had their hands full
remembering their lines. Henry Stock
bridge was miserable in a small part
He made slight bluff at playing the
piano and the audience grew hopeful
that a speciality might enliven the per-
formance. They applauded until they
saw the hope fade away and the emo
tional drama resumed it's natural pace.
Blanche Hall looked lovely, but she
sacrificed her acting in the effort to
remember her part and failed to rise
to the famous climax of the third act.
The new leading heavy man, who
has been so enthusiastically doomed,
was something of a disappointment
However, he cannot be fairly judged
upon his work at his'opening perform
ance, and he suggests latent abilities
which may be heard from shortly.
Payson Graham deserves mention for
good work as the baroness.
