ROSWELL HAS THE PROBLEM.
albuquerque Morning Journal.

Albuquerque Morning Journal.
The enterprising and rapidly grow
ing city of Roswell has the question
of obtaining an adequate water sup
ply on its hands, and is going about
settling it quietly, but with dispatch.
Roswell now has no general water
system, and while water is abundant
for domestic purposes, it is said by the
Roswell newspapers that the system
is not at all adequate for prop fire
protection or to meet the demands
that will soon be made for general
to secure a water supply that will
meet all demands, the question of mu-
nicipal ownership has, of course,
come up, and in Roswell. as in Albu-
querque, it has strong advocates.
Among some of the business men,
however. there seems to be a CUES
ton of the practicability of munich
pal ownership at this time, and the
belief thai the interests of Roswell
will be better served by ~entrusting
the building of the water works to a
private corporation. This is the view
of John w. Poe, one of the well
known business men of the South
west, expressed by him in a recent
interview in the Roswell Record. The
tendency in Roswell, however. is up
~parentlY to find out which means is
the most practicable from very
standpoint and then adopt it at once.
On a somewhat smaller scale the
water supply presents the same ques-
tons in Roswell that are to be found
here. Albuquerque is growing rap
idly, and this growth is going to n
tinue. While the city is growing and
rapidly spreading out a continual out
lay will be necessary in order that
the public utilities may keep pace
with this growth. 1t has -peen the
case in other growing western cities.
and il is likely to be the case here,
that this outlay will be far in excess
of the income for a considerable pc
ROD; that a continual investment of
large sums will be necessary in or
der to keep up with the demand. It
is a question worthy of considera-
ton here, as it is being considered
in Roswell, whether it is practicable
for the city to undertake a task Of
this kind with it's water works system
or whether it will be the safer policy
to leave the job in the hands of a pri-
vate corporation.

In a representative government it
is right that parties should be more
powerful than individuals, and if it
is proven to be the "a in this in
stance there will be no reason to be
surprised. The lesson TO be drawn.
however. will be obvious-secure par
ties committed to reform rather than
expect reforms in spite of party.
Mr.. R%oosevelt's mind is fully made
up that he will not be a candidate
for another term, and those who are

THE PRESIDENT
AND THE PARTY.

From Denver News
No one doubts the Presidents good
intentions. If he fails it will be be
cause the conditions of his position
cause failure. A President backed
by a party harmonious and insistent
for radical reform would have a hard
task when he undertook the control
of predatory wealth and monopolized
industry, but an executive officer cleo
ted by a party committed thoroughly
to the defense and protection of the
very interests he proposes to curtail
has no easy ask before him.
With an enormous popular senti-
ment back of him, a house of repre-
sentatives generally sympathetic and
a forceful personality, results reason
ably satisfactory may be attained by
the president during his term. If not,
the people will know where to place
the blame and will be given a new
lesson in the importance of having
a political party represent specifically
and unitedly definite economic inter
ests and policies.

Now for a good game! What's it to be
this time, uncle?"
To-day l think I'll show you weak
minded young people how stronger
brain can influence a less powerful one"
"Poohl" said Lucy, fitting her small
nose. g. may not know SO much as you
do, but I m not weak minded, Uncle Bob"
YOU'RE not Ell? Well, suppose I
undertake to prove that you are, or at
least to prove that my brain can con-
sciously influence your thoughts"
"O-ho, hypnotism! exclaimed Fred.
''No, not exactly that, but-well I'll
show you. Where's a pack of cards?"
Here you are" and Fred handed out
a pack from the table-drawer.
''All right" said Uncle Bob Lucy,
I'll take you first, as you challenged me.
Sit opposite me at the table, please. Fred,
this time you may be merely an on
locker"
Then Uncle Bob threw all the cards
on the table face up, and shuffled them
about helter-ske1ter. Before we go
further" he said, 81 will write something
on bit of paper and give it to Fred for
safe-keeping.
So saving, Uncle Bob tore off bit of
the margin of a newspaper, wrote some
thing on it, folded it small, and asked Fred
to stow it securely away in his pocket.
This done, he turned to Lucy again.
Now, my girl, here are all the fifty
two cards spread out between us. In
choose one of the colors. Will you have
black or redl"
BLACK" said Lucy promptly.
Very well, l wanted you to choose

pick them out and we will discard the
black ones. Help me to do this.
Quickly the colors were separated, the
black ones gathered in a pack and
handed over to Fred to be out of the way,
and then the game went on.
Now" said Uncle Bob, "again l give
you choice. That is, you think you
have a choice, but really | so influence
your mind that you are obliged to choose
according to my mental dictation. But
say which you will have, hearts or dia-
monds."
Lucy hesitated. She felt sure she was
making a free choice, and yet Uncle
Bob looked at her piercingly, as though
compelling her to do as he willed.
Hearts" she said at last.
Hearts it is" said her uncle gaily.
wen gather up the diamonds and pass
them over to Fred with the other dis
cards" This done, he spread out the
thirteen hearts between them, and said !:
There is an odd number; please pick
out one, so it will be even. But mind,
you must take the one | will you to.
Again Lucy determined that it was all
nonsense, and of course she could choose
whichever card of the thirteen she
wished, but she felt her uncle's eye upon
her and, as she said afterward, she felt
impelled to choose the five-spot
ust the one | wanted you to choose"
said Uncle Bob, with an air of great
satisfaction, and he handed the five of
hearts to Fred.

'Good!" cried Uncle Bob. Zine! Just
wait till | give these other three to Fred
There, now we are nearing the end. But
we have an odd number; it must be made
even. Draw one card, child
Lucy drew the queen, and at gesture
from her uncle handed it to Fred, who
put it with his rapidly growing pack.
Then Uncle Bob looked serious He
fairly glared at Lucy, and said in low,
stern voice: DRAW your last card!"
Lucy boldly grasped the ten-spot
Give it to Fred" cried her uncle,
and Lucy did so, thus leaving the~seven
of hearts alone on the table.
Now, Fred;' said Uncle Bob, will
you kindly open that bit of paper in your
pocket and read aloud what is on it?
Fred produced the scrubbed slip and
read: 1.-The seven of hearts"
well, then, Lucy" said her uncle,
smiling. "as l wrote that paper before
we began, and as you by choosing all
the other cards left the seven of hearts
here at last, will you admit that | in
fuenced your mind in your choiee?"
"Oh, uncle, l don't knowl" cried
Lucy breathlessly but l think it's
wonderful. Please try it on Fred, and let
me have the paper to keep, and let me
hold the cards you discard"
So the game was tried on Fred, and
proved equally successful.
And now I've mystihed you enough"
said their good uncle, land I'll
prove to you that have no undue men
tai influence over you. The game is a
most simple one. Its whole success lies
in the air and manner of the person play
ing it. After having written the name
OF card on paper, remember that is
the card you're to work toward. For
example, suppose you decide on the
king of spades, and you wish to force
your victim to leave that on the table
at the last. You first offer him his
choice of colors. If he says black you say
Very well, We'll discard the red But
if he chooses red, you must say with
equal carelessness: All right, that leaves
black for me- and then discard the red
just the same.
Having all the black cards on the
table, again give him his choice of suits
If he chooses spades, you must discard
the clubs. But if he takes clubs, you
must say: Very well, that leaves us with
the Spades and still discard the clubs.
Then ask him to take out one of the
thirteen spades to make the number
even. Tell him you are willing him
strongly at this point of the game There
are twelve chances against his taking the
king this time; but if he should do so,
you have merely to act as if that was
what you intended him to do, and pro-
duce your written paper in proof, saying:
L wanted you to choose certain spade,
and you have done So
But if he does not choose the king,
arrange your twelve cards in row or
group, and bid him choose six of them
If the six he chooses contain the king,
discard the other six. If the six he
chooses do not contain the king,
merely say: All right, discard those and
then go on with the rest And so on
If he chooses the share containing the
selected card, discard the other share
If he leaves the selected card in your
share, discard his share.
At last there will be only two cards

DEMAND FOR PERDICARIS.
Official Paraphrase of Secretary Hays
Famous Telegram.

Additional chapters of the Red Book
for 1904. made public at the. State Depart
ment today include severely edited and eX-
purgated notes between this government
and Morocco, the Netherlands, Nicaragua
Costa RIGA and Salvador. The correspond
ence with Morocco refers entirely to the
Perdicaris incident, the department eau
tiously refraining from making public any
of the interesting representations of the
American representative at Tangier regard
ing the political situation in that country.
Following is the official paraphraSe of the
famous "Perdicaris alive or RaiSuli dead
telegram sent by Secretary Hay last June,
which made the Moroccan government pro-
duce Perdicaris when even the presence of
warshps had not availed:
Mr.. Hay states that this government
wants Perdicarius alive or Raisuli dead.
Further than this, least possible complica-
lions with Morocco or other powers is de-
sired. Mr. Gummere is instructed not TO
arrange fer landing marine or Selling Gus
tom house without the department. specific
directions
The correspondence shows that the Meth
erlands government has refused to grant
the request of the Washington government
that it be allowed to sta ton officers of the
United States public health and marine
hospital service at the ports of embarka-
ton in the Netherlands, to make a medical
inspection of all persons intending to emil
crate to the United tSates The reason as
signed for the refusal is that past expert
ence has shown that the American medi-
cal officers thus stationed will assume
more authority
