Publicity Needed TO
Cure Existing Evils

Publicity is the dearest foe of tyranny and crime
Abuses are usually righted when the conditions are wide
y known. Knowing this. Prof. Graham Taylor and
Edward I. Devine, two Of the best known charity workers
in this country, haye started a national weekly which
has for its object the discovery of wrong conditions and
their wide publication.
Among the abuses of the twentieth century they
mention these: A Missouri professor found a lunatic
chained to a log. Insane patients in Florida are cruelty
whipped. A naked maniac in Maryland is Gagged by the
county officers in a shed. Children and idiots are
housed in the same rooms in a Vermont almshouse.
With no child labor law, little children in Georgia are
worse off than those of Russia, or in England in 1902.
The rookeries of New Orleans and the blind alleys of
Washington, ID. c., are worse than the London slums.
In New York city boys are herded and driven like slaves
in a basement bag factory.
And these cases, say these men who have devoted
their lives to working back from the needs to the causes
of national ills, are only a few of many as horrible. IF
the people knew" Fortunately for decency and demo-
crazy, the people are to know Of the barbarisms of their
own times.

Even am ATiS60cTaG
Has Chance TO Succeed

The Earl of R%oseberry, probably the coming premier
of England, has had better chances than most men. But
he has improved them. 1t is said when Roseberry was
young he had three ambitions-to win the Derby, marry
the richest girl in England and to be prime minister.
He accomplished all three. His horse has won the
Derby, not once but twice. He married the daughter
and heiress of Baron Rothschild. He was premier once
and is likely to be again. AS his wife died some fifteen
years ago he may again marry the richest girl-thus
twice realizing his three fondest dreams.
His ideals of success may not be yours, or mine,
but 1t is to be said for Roseberry that he has made the
most of himself, which is all that any man can do. He
is a cultivated man, an orator; and though an aristocrat
born and bred, is an ardent liberal in politics. He is a
man of clean life and is kind to the poor.
1t is easy to honor the man who has worked himself
up unaided, from below. 1t is not so easy to honor the
rich young man who has had what seems to be every
chance of success. We are inclined to forget that the
poor youth who had bravely met his fate and conquered
it has been helped by his struggles and that the rich
young man has been surrounded by a hundred peculiar
temptations that offer a handicap to q clean and sue
cessful career. For an aristocrat, Roseberry has done
remarkably well.

QUESTION:

The act of the city council last evening in appoint
ing a special committee TO ascertain what action the peo-
pie demand in the matter of the social evil as it exists
in Albuquerque, was wise as well as timely. A terri
torial statute gives to the government of every incOr-
porated town in New Mexico the right to prohibit or
regulate the practice of prostitution as a profession"
If the people of this city require that the profession
shall not be practiced within the city limits, they can let
the council committee know their wishes and plans.
1t may be said in passing that the world has waited long
and wanted earnestly the man or woman who could offer
a practical plan for the eradication of the social evil.
If the people of Albuquerque desire merely the regula-
ton of the profession it seems to The Citizen that the
council is already handling the matter about as well as
it is handled elsewhere or can be handled here. There
might be stricter laws against the appearance of such
women on the streets bedecked in all the colors of the
rainbow, and their riding through the streets in open
hacks or topless buggies, Haunting in the eyes of the
public the brazen attire which is the badge of their oc-
cupation. This would be a step for the better. And
it may be that were this business corraled in quarters
not so near the center of Albuquerques commercial life,
ii would also be a step for the better; but it seems to
The Citizen that no greater evil could befall this town
than for the reservation which this class now occupies
TO be closed and its denizens permitted TO scatter them
selves throughout the city.

quently of Broad street, scarcely ever of Nassau street.
Yet the Philadelphia Dispatch says that a faint idea OF
the millions on millions that rest in the strong boxes
OF the financial institutions doing business along this
narrow and crooked little street may be gained from the
statement that the deposits in three national banks ag-
greeate $235,OO0,0OO, and their joint resources are
$4l2,3O0,OO0; four trust companies have joint resources
OF $22O,OOO,O00 aud deposits Of $167OOO,OOO, while the
assets of two insurance companies total $792, 100000 and
their insurance policies in force SO, 800 00,O 900. The as
sets OF these institutions reach the grand total OF
$l,424,3O0,0O0, and they are but nine of Nassau's several
hundred financial corporations. There is no gainsaying
the statement that for its length, the crowds that pass
up and down Nassau street daily outnumber the crowds
on other metropolitan streets; in fact, It is one Of the
most crowded streets Of the world. Nor is there any
disputing this other statement that the self same street
as regards its institutions, is financially the superior OF
much Wanted Wall street.

The albuquerque Aftermath gets quite jublant over
the fact that in its second cutting of the news crop It
was actually able TO publish a few items-twelve, to be
exact-not later than on the second day after they oc-

IL occurred? Certainly not. AT its very best, it Is

No wonder That Melville e.. Stone, the man at the head
OF the greatest news-gathering apparatus Of all lands
an dali ages, says that the day of the morning papers, in
popularity, has passed; and this loss of popularity as
a careful canvass Of the leading merchants of the east
has shown, extends alike TO advertisers and readers.

How the Albuquerque Aftermath can have d second

reader OF The Citizen. Said he, today-mark you. not
yesterday-'Ihe morning paper being only a rehasher

II TO be a second (hand) fiddle" Well, this second

from what paper The Citizen clipped that Morning

ALL MASONIC BODIES BUT
ONE BEAR NAME OF CITY
Trio Only One That Retains Original
Work of r. c. Viii
lerton.

1t is a matter of some interest, not
Only to the Masonic fraternity, but To
the public in general of Rock Island
to know that while originally pract;-
caily every Masonic organization in
the city had different name, now
with one exception they all bear the
name, Rock Island. The change has
been gradually made and it is largely
through the instrumentality of II. c
Wilierton, one of the leading members
OF the fraternity in the city, that this
has been accomplished.
Out of Trio lodge 81. the pioneer OF
them all. came Rock Island lodge
Cos. Then there was Barrett chapter
Is. r. a. NJ, and Everts commanders
IS. Knights Templar. A few years
ago the commandery changed its
name from Everts to Rock Island
and more recently Barrett chapter be
came Rock Island chapter And after
Rock Island lodge Cos and between
Rock Island chapter IS and Rock Isl
and commandery IS, is Rock Island
council 20. So that from lodge to tenn
pie the name Rock Island appears in
designation of every branch of Mason
ry in the city of the same name.

title however

VOTES WITH REPUBLICANS
Democrats Who Supported McCaskrin
Have Little Comfort in Record

BY his vote even in the little that
has so far been done in the lower
house at Springfield. Hon. George w.
McCaskrin. who is enjoying the
former seat of Hon. George
A. Cooke. as member of
that body. has verified what
was said during the last days Of the
campaign. that those democrats who
voted for McCaskrin in preference to
Cooke would place the minority rep
resentative in this district out of the
keeping of the democratic party. In
every act so far Mr.. McCaskrin has
voted with the republicans. both in the
preliminary and permanent organiza-
ton OF the house. Notwithstanding
that he was elected as an independ
ent and appealed for democratic votes
on that score he sustained the repub-
lican candidates in the temporary and
permanent control of the house, de
clining to- participate in the democrat
ic caucus when invited TO do so.
Cay r. Caumer the socialist and
Daniel Z. Sheen the prohibitionist re
corded their declination TO vote on the
