A LITTLE OFF COLOR

Delegate Andrews has sent us a copy OF
house bill No. IS2S2. introduced by him
in the lower house of Congress on April TO-
The purpose of the measure is TO increase
the compensation Of the members OF the
New Mexico Legislature to $40 per day
The Echo believes in fixing the compensa-
ton of members of our legislature, as well
as that of all other public officers, high
enough to secure the best talent possible
But, in view of the complexion OF 4 MOTOR
itv of the men who elect these officers IN
many portions OF the territory we doubt It
this measure would have the desired effect
we're il the law.-Daytcn Echo.
Now what is the matter with you fellows
over in the southeast corner OF New Mexl-
co, anyway You must have the coloring-
gifts. If the rag-tag and bob-.ail OF some OF
your sage bush politicians knew how much
more sense the better class of Mexican
people OF this territory had than they have
you would let up on them for a spell, to
say the least. The democracy, OF this
COUNTY, mas pcch 5uihJ ~ many ~ :"
constituencies. but the fellows of Eddy
county who considered it necessary to ex-
clude democratic Mexicans from their pri-
maries. simply because they were Mexi-
cans, have outdone even the most radical
brand Of the Texas article who hold that
no man should be allowed a vote, unless he
votes the democratic ticket. The people
of the territory should pay no attention to
such nonsense, and the Mexican people
should not give them the satisfaction OF
even recognizing that there is any south
east corner in the territory.

that vast and rich country drained by
the Columbia River.
Sacajawea, when but thirteen years
old, was stolen from her people-the
Shoshones-and became slave to the
Dakotas. They treated her well, how.
ever. and at the age of eighteen they
sold her to French fur-trader, Char.
boneau, who made her his wife, prom
Using. that he would, in time, take her
to her own people. Shortly after this
the Lewis and Clark expedition, with
it's motley band, came along, making
their winter quarters in that section
which is now the southern part OF the
Dakotas. The expedition needed q
guide, and Charboneau learning OF
this, told his wife that by guiding the
party she would have q chance to IND
her own people. She offered her serv.
ices to the pioneers, which were &C
cepted: Charboneau was hired as
cook,
During the winter, while the party
was making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gave
birth to a boy baby; yet, not to be de-
TERED in her hope Of again being
united to her people. and with her
baby on her back, she led the party
over the rugged mountains to the head
waters Of the Columbia.
| Before reaching the end OF the jour.
ney the explorers came across the
tribe from which the Western heroine
had been stolen. Her own people en-.
deavored to persuade her to remain
with them. Sacajawea had given her
word to guide the men to the Pacinc
ocean and she was not to be swerved
from keeping her promise. This Is
the story which Mrs. Dye has set forth
| in "The Conquest" All through the
book is full OF little incidents OF the
bravery of the woman guide, how she
saved the band from humiliation at
the hands Of an unfriendly Indian
tribe, the leader Of whom was her
brother. Mrs. Dye brings out into the
light the story OF Lewis and CLARK
themselves, in which they give SAGA
jawea the credit for having saved thell
lives and having made possible the
success Of their expedition.

Social intrigue was exhausted in the
efforts to secure invitations to this
never-to-be-forgotten reception.
Ambitious mothers with eligible

The beauty and brilliancy of the dip

The newly appointed Russian Am

with the famous Polish Order of st.

peror Alexander confirmed the order,
and Tsar Nicholas, in 1881, united It
with the Russian orders. Russian
priests are excluded from the order.
It is one Of the few to which a pension

dent's Reception to Foreign
Representatives
President Roosevelt's reception to the
diplomatic corps, Thursday evening,
January 4th, was one of the most
brilliant functions the White House
has ever presented.
The foreign diplomats and their Sec
retaries and attaches, in rainbow-hued
attire, their breasts bedecked with
gold, silver, enameled and jewelled
grand crosses; their gold hilted swords,
sashes, belts and gay c0lored chap
eau, were resplendent living pictures
of chiyalry's romantic age.
Courteous, yet dignifed, these repre-
entatives Of knighthood's gallan-
~ and gentleness charmed the vast
assemblage with their speech and
manners. ~
French, by long usage, is their official
and social language. But many diplo-
mats speak all the Latin tongues and
the others of continental Europe.

of nearly all civilized nations. The

Paris Statue OF Franklin.

The two hundredth anniversary OF
the birth of Benjamin Franklin on the
18th of January has brought to light
the regard with which that philosopher
and statesman is esteemed, not only by
Americans, but by foreigners as well.
The memory Of Franklin, as first min
lister of the United States to France, is
much revered in the capital OF that
country, and it is quite fitting that the
first statue to him in foreign cline
should be unveiled in Paris.
AS early as May % last Mr.. John H.
Harjes, at present the resident men,
Der in Paris Of the firm OF Morgan, Har-
ies & Co., formulated an offer to Paris
officials Of bronze statue OF Franklin.

Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, OF Oregon
City, Ore, wrote Q book on>a very old
subject, but she treated 1t in another
way. This book, 1.-THE Conquest" was
the history Of the Lewis and Clark ex
petition, with which every school
child is familiar, but she brought out
a most refreshing incident showing
the invaluable services rendered the
expedition by one woman.
A number of women OF Portland,
Ore, banded together under the name
OF the Woman's Club, felt In duty
bound to honor the memory OF that
one woman, Sacajawea. Mrs. Dye was
elected president Of Sacaiawea
Statue Association. With woman's wit
they found various methods to acquire
the necessary $1,000 to erect the
statue. Even with all the money pro
cured the association found itself IN
uuandary until Mrs. Henry Waldo
Coe. through the generosity OF her
husband, came to the rescue with the
copper for the casting. And this lat
ter gift was by no means inconsider.

pure copper, not to speak OF the ex.

And after all It was but fitting that
this statue should be erected. Tor had IT
