A CURTIS VIEW !.

We haven't much use for VIM. r..
Curtis. but the following from the
New Mexican Is interesting.
w. +. Curtis, staff correspondent OF
the Chicago Record Herald in Wash
ington. and one OF the brightest and
keenest correspondents in the coun
try. telegraphs his paper that 1t Is
well understood in the national CAPT
tai that President Roosevelt is OPP
posed to statehood for New Mexico
and Arizona al this time and does no.
wish legislation passed at the coming
session, creating either the separate
states of New Mexico and Arizona or
the joint state Of Arizona. That's all
right, Mr.. President. What the PEG
pie of New Mexico do want. IN that
congress pass an enabling act for
New Mexico alone allowing II TO en-
ter the Union at the time of the ma
tional elections In 1908. This will suit
admirably, and Is the strong and sin.
cere desire Of nine out OF ten citizens
Of the Sunshine territory. The PEG.
pie q Arizona. by a vast majority. are
ready and willing to val, still longer
for single statehood. The New Mex.
lean hopes that there Is yet time fos
the president to consider this matter
and the ardent wishes Of the people
Of the two territories. and make re
commentator accordingly m his
forthcoming message to the Fifty.
ninth congress.

The Albuquerque council has APP
pointed a committee to ascertain
whether or not the people want the
laws against prostitution enforced.
In pretty nearly any other Town In the
nation. the fact that adequate lawson
the subject had been passed would be
held to point TO a solution OF the ques-
tion. But as In the case of Sunday
closing, 1t seems to tie argued that the
people are above the law.

The people Of Arizona may rest
easy. Unless all signs fail they will
not be called upon TO vote down a
proposition TO unite New Mexico and
Arizona this year or next. Within
the next year or two the people Of the
two territories viii be called upon TO
choose between separate statehood
or no statehood. II may be expected
that the JOINT Stockholders viii vote
for no statehood, but they are so few
In number that what they want really
doesn't count any way.

Hagerman is true. Governor Oiero

majority of the people Of New Mexico
His record as governor has been ex

The Old Fashioned Wife.

A pretty young married woman said
to a friend the other day: MARY Ia
such an old fashioned wife. She has
such queer notions about her duty to
her husband and home. Why, she dc.
clines all invitations unless he is In
cluded and never under any circum.
stances IL AWAY from home when he
returns at night.
"Then she always gets up to break
fast with him and even goes SO far as
to prepare certain favorite dishes for
him instead of leaving such business
to the cook. She does not 60 away In
the summer until he Is able to 20, too,
and, in fact. she fusses over him In
the most absurd fashion"
After the pretty creature had van
ished to join n party Of friends at din
ner a reflective mood stole ovcr the
friend. and she thought how much bet.
ter 1t would he IL there were more old
fashioned wives.

Y ocurrio que ell hijo, Carlos

En- aquella soledad las ideas
de matrimonio debian de nacer
Y crecer atm con mayor fuerza.

SEQ de unir mi suerte 4 la de

Recuerdo que di cuenta de 10
que pasaba a mi hermana. la
cual no dio muestras de algeria
