T. B. Catron Of Santa Fee, n. M,
former delegate to congress from that
territory, said at the Coates house
yesterday afternoon that the people
of that commonwealth never would
submit to. admission to the union as a
Joint state with Arizona.
Congress may undertake to cram
such a measure down the threats OF
the people Of New Mexico" he said.
but that action will be resented and
rcpudiated. The people there want
statehood for themselves. or else
they don't care for II at all. New
Mexico has awited already sixty years
for statehood. and she a wait sixty
years longer. If necessary. would
not be surprised if congress. during
The coming winter, were TO pass a
bill admitting the two territories as
one state, but just as soon as that
matter Is referred to our people 1t
will be rejected almost with unanim-
ifv. Neither do the people Of Arizona
want single statehood. Our interests
are different and we are determined
against coalition.
Zone reason WHY there Is such q
strong desire among the members of
congress. particularly the senators.
for a union between New Mexico and
Arizona as n state Is to prevent, as
far as possible. the CONSEQUENT gain
IN mower for the west. The New
England senators for years have dom
mated to a great extent affairs in the
senate. With the increased number
gives the west, whose interests are
not at all times in harmony with
those Of the east, the power in the

the Other Pageant.
The genius of Holbein blossomed
early. In 1915, when he was eight
cen years old, he moved from Augs-
burg, where he was born, to Basel,
the center of learning, whose boast
was that every house in it contained
at least one learned man. In 1920
he was admitted to citizenship at
Basel and to membership in the
painters guild, good proof, as he was
only twenty-three, of his unusual
ability.
But the times were lean ones for
the painter. Holbein found himself
in need of money and accordingly
set out for London with a letter of
introduction to Sir Thomas More.
the kings chancellor.
Master Haunce,' as the English
called him. arrived in England to-
ward the close CT 1926. During this
first visit to England he painted por-
traits of many of the leading men of
the day, but two years later, in con-
sequence of an outbreak of the
plague, he returned to Basel, only to
be driven back to England In 1881
by poverty and the death of his old
friends.
Bv 1887 Holbein had come to the
notice of Henry VIII. and was es-
tablished as court painter, a posi-
ton which he held until bis death
This seems to have occurred during
another visitation of the plague IL.
1913, for at this date knowledge of
the great artist ceases. When he
died or where he was buried is not
known.
What contrast between his life
and Titian's-one the fayorite and
the other the sport of fortune, for,
though the greatness of both was
recognized by the men of their
time, Titan lived a life of sump-
/. tuous ease in the beautiful sur
roundings of Venice, while Holbein,
often straitened for money, never
wealthy, experienced the rigor of
poverty, forced by need and circum-
stances to become an alien in a
strange land, dying unnoticed and
unhonored.
The world to Titan was a pag-
cant; to Holbein, scene of toll
and pilgrimage.-St. Nicholas.

II Costs More to Live

Prices of fuel, clothing, and prac-
tically all food products are con-
stantly increasing, according to a
bulletin issued by the bureau of labor,
covering the period from 1900 to
1904. In the early Cos prices were
very high, but in the last four years
they have been steadily increasing,
until now they are relatively higher
than in 1892, just before the memor-
able financial and commercial depres-
sion The period of lowest prices
was from 1894 to 1897.
The lowest price of beef was in
April 1896, when the best choice
was quoted at 50. 85 to q 25 per hun
dred pounds. The highest price was
the latter part of August 1902, when
the price touched $50 to So per
hundred pounds Corn was lowest
in 1886 and highest in 1892.
In table of comparisons, in which
the average price for the years 1890
to 1899 is taken as a basis, sixteen
articles of farm production, including
sheep, cattle, hay, hogs, hides and
grains are enumerated. All except
fax seed increased over the average
price from 1890 to 1899. The in
crease in prices in 1904 ranges from
7.S per cent on sheep and 81 per
cent On cattle to 1921 per cent on
corn, 1873 per cent on oats, 1873 per
cent on wheat, and the top increase
of 96.2 per cent on New York state
hops.
The average increase 10 1904 in the
wholesale price of farm products
over the average for the years 1890
to 1899 is 1852 per cent. OF fifty
two articles included under the head
of food it is shown that the 1904
price of all but fourteen articles was
higher than the average price of the
same from 1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head OF
cloth and clothing show that the av-
erage for 1904 was 98 per cent high
er than the average from 1890 to 49,
SO. The table on fuel and lighting
places the average 1904 price at 80. 6
per cent higher than the 1890 to
1899 price.
