PICMWICKIAN SENSE

The Albuquerque Aftermath is decidedly funny IN
figures. 1t has a second fiddle without having a hrst
one, for all the world like the negro farmer who, dis
satisfied with the yield of the outside row in his corn
field, decided that in the future he would have no out
side row.
Then, too, it tries TO make the impression that me
Citizen is a second edition Of Itself though The Citizen
is published twelve hours in advance of the Aftermath
and gives the cream of the news at home and abroad
on the day when the events happen, while the morning
paper of necessity comes along the next day with its
SKINNED milk largely diluted to give II bulk, and in the
case of the albuquerque Aftermath, especially, much of
it so stale as actually to be indistinguishable from EN-
balmed beef.
of facts and figures was shown in it's recent assertion
that for its diluted skinned milk of a telegraph service
II pays $50 per week; while its own figures show that 1t
pays but $13. Another instance of this frenzed figuring
on the part of the Albuquerque Aftermath is its assertion
yesterday morning that the Journal every morning
speaks to practically all the people of New Mexico"
The use of the word practically" in the quotation just
made and again in the same article where it is asserted
that New Mexico will be practically without represen-
tation' in the next congress, shows that practically" In
each instance was used in a Pickwickian sense, to cover
the merest bosh. But to show the connection of this
Pickwickian claim with the Aftermath's inability to use
figures, The Citizen need but refer to the fact that re.
of the Weekly New Mexican Review, sent through the
p~ostoffce, exceeds that of the Optic and the Journal
combined" and the New Mexican offered to prove the
fact by reference to the postofice officials. This state
ment the Albuquerque Aftermath has never been able
to gainsay. finding it more congenial work to stretch
its blanket and lie under its shade, in the grotesquely
idiotic assertion that it practically reaches every morn
ing all the people of New Mexico. But then some
papers are just naturally weak in figures and facts just
as they are weak in diluted and stale Geographic service.

Story of Two Want Ads
and Causes of Same

There were two little want" ads side by side in a
New York newspaper.
One told of a job for a telephone girl at 81 per week,
and it brought 100 applicants. The other offered 81 a
week for girls to work in a factory, and not one applied.
What a COMMENT
One reason why there is so much poverty in the
world is that there is so little good sense. We invite
the girl from the department store to spend the evening
and we pass the one from the factory by. She is all
right, of course, nice and pretty and ladylike and jolly,
But you pass her by. You can't blame the girls who
seek jobs where the toll is not mental. The world in its
intense ignorance has caused this great harm. 1t is
afraid of honest dirt and calloused hands, and while it
grows eloquent over the dignity of labor it insists that
the hired girl must be taught her place and weeps tears
of disgust when the son of the family falls in love with
the respectable, virtuous girl who works in a laundry
The world is full of snobs and some of them live In
palaces and more in cottages. They are un-Amerlcan
unwise, unkind and they are making life hard for those
noble women whom we call working girls

Women Warmed Against
Those Beauty Fakes

An Ohio girl is suing a Chicago beauty doctor. she
yearned for plump cheeks and got them. They turned
a rich purple after the doctor had completed his work,
and now she is a fit subject for a side show.
Some would say, Serves her right Wait a minute
For ages woman has been encouraged to believe that
good looks were the most important thing for her to
cultivate. They were her stock in trade, with which
to purchase a more or less desirable husband-in pro
portion as she possessed and was able to utilize that
stock. So her energies were sent out of their normal
channels in a frantic pursuit of beauty, with varied and
entertaining results.
There is a certain sort of beauty chasing that is all
right. Marvellous results may be accomplished by intel
ligent, persistent physical culture, by diet, and by psSer
care of the person. But patient sacrifice and selfcon.

WORK OF

Before the New Orleans Board of Trade, yesterday,
Prof. Hugo r. Meyer, of the University of Chicago,
brought out the following interesting facts, though one
need not accept the use which the professor made of
them as an argument against national control and pre-
vention of discriminating and %rebating freight rates:
The more efficient the railways become the more do
they enable the distant producer to reach the distant
consumer. But at the same time they arrest that
growth in values, and impair that monopoly of supply
ing the market, that depends upon an efficient system of
transportation. To illustrate, when the railways be-
came so efficient that the grain of Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota and the Dakotas could be carried not only
to the Atlantic seaboard, but even to Europe, the value
Of land for wheat raising purposes declined from 25 to
SO per cent in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. In
England, Scotland and Ireland, the aggregate value of
the farming land declined from $4,000 900 900 in 1874
to $4,000, 100000 in 1894.
Again when the railways became so efficient that
milk was carried daily into New York City from points
All miles distant, the dairy farmers near New, York
City found that a sharp limit was set not only to the
price of milk, but also to the value Of land used for
dairy purposes. Still again, when the Mobile & Ohio
railroad opened to truckfarming the belt of land, 22
miles wide, lying between Verona and Mobile, the truck
farmers nearer st. Louis found themselves exposed to a
very unwelcome competition.
When the grain from west of the Mississippi river
was poured into the Atlantic seaboard territory, the
farmers of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio demanded
that the rates on grain from their states and from the
trans-Mississippi states respectively, be adjusted on the
basis of relative ditances, in order that there might be
conserved to New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, all the
natural advantage of their geographical location as com.
pared with the trans-Mississippi country But there
was at that time no interstate commerce commission to
arrest the growth of wheat raising west of the Missis-
sippi for the purpose of protecting the wheat industry
east of the Mississippi

Said the New Mexican of yesterday; "Accofding to
a dispatch from Washington this week, President Roose-
welt in his annual message will commend that Okla
homa and Indian Territory be admitted as a single state,
and that New Mexico and Arizona be given a few more
years to grow until they are admitted as states. While
this is not exactly what New Mexico has been led to
expect, yet 1t is better than a forced union of New Mex.
leo and Arizona, against the will of their people. Given
until the census year 1910, New Mexico and Arizona will
astonish the states by the ratio of growth maintained
during the present decade. Only yesterday, a bulletin
OF the census bureau announced that the products Of the
manufacturers of New Mexico have increased to almost
$6,OOO,OOO a year, an Increase of 40 per cent in FIVE years.
In population, agriculture and other lines, the growth
has been and is, still more phenomenal and by 1910, this
territory VIII have outgrown in population and wealth
a Few more of the sleepy old states of the east and even
some OF the hustlers in the west, just as in 1900, il had
left behind it the states of Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho ana
Delaware" This may be very satisfactory to those who
do not want statehood at all or do not want it for years
at least, but it is not at all satisfactory TO those who
want statehood and want it right at once. Then. too,
if it is so certain that to join New Mexico and Arizona
into one state would be against the will Of their peo.
pie" where would be the danger or the outrage in sub.
hitting such union to the votes Of the people for their
acceptance or rejection?

Don't forget; the outside merchant who advertises
in your local paper is more entitled to your trade than
the local man who sends his job work out of town and
does not carry any "ad" in your home paper. The local
man who goes into his own cloister is as much entitled to
be allowed TO remain there as is the mail order house
which does not advertise through your local paper for
your business-Martin News-Herald.

Senator Newlands of Nevada, says an exchange, pro
poses that railroad taxes, like railroad dividends, shall
be fixed by congressional action, once and for all, He
proposes a tax on gross receipts as a method which has
the advantage of simplicity and jutice. Gross earnings

this revenue shall be collected In the form of a franchise
tax, under the authority of the nation itself, and then
divided among the several states upon some equitable
basis. Railroad taxes. now amount to about 3 per cent
OF the gross receipts. He would take this as a starting
point and gradually raise it TO 3 per cent, where it would
permanently remain. Thus the states would receive
upon the average sc per cent more than now, without
the expense of collection.
