The Great COmmoner is Back Af-
ter Eleven Months Around

New York, Aug. 30.-The
homecoming of William Jen-
nings Bryan was made complete
tonight when he was greeted in
Madison Square Garden by q
throng of welcomers numbering
more than 10000. 1t was such a
welcome as seldom, if ever, was
accorded a private citizen. Mr..
Bryan's eyes filled with tears as
he stood and acknowledged the
thunders of welcome from 20,-
600 throats. For eight minutes,
while the ground seemed to
sway and shake from the shouts
and applause, he strobe nervous
ly from side to side Of the plat
form. Only once during the en-
tire evening was there anything
approaching such a demonstra-
tion. That was when the speak
er told his hearers that he had
been converted to the cause of
Government ownership of rail-
roads.
II favor the control of only
the trunk lines by the National
Government" said Mr. Bryan,
land the ownership of all other
railroads by the State Govern
ments.
In an instant thousands of
voices were raised and thous-
ands of faces were turned to-
ward the side of the building
opposite the speakers stand,
where William Randolph Hearst
sat.
Three cneers for Hearst was
the cry which swelled until the
speakers voice was drowned fol
a moment.
Tonight's reception, which
was given under the auspices Of
the Commercial Travellers Anti
Trust League, proved really t.
be the sounding of the Demo
cratic campaign call. Mr.. Bry.
ans speech was a clear-cut out
line of-his ideas as to what The

Roosevelt Endorsed and Res
OIutlOn FaVOrlng Statehood

The Territorial Republican
Central Committee met at AL
buquerque Wednesday, Septem-
Der 5, 1905. Chairman Bursum
was the center of attraction on
account Of his personal, official
and political popularity, and also
on account Of the very recent
hurry report Of the committee
who Investigated the books of
the Bursum administration of
the Territorial penitentiary.
After the convention got or
ganized for work the following
resolution was unanimously adj
opted:
BE it resolved, that we, the
Central Committee of the Re-
publican party Of New Mexico,
hereby congratulate the Repub-
liCan party of New Mexico upon
the fact that it has in the Hon.
d s
II. o. Bursum, chairman of this
committee, an able, energetic
and tireIess leader, who by his
great executive ability has SO

ments in our party that today il

position, and We further hereby
express our complete confidence
in the honesty and integrity q
the Hon. 81. o. Bursum.
Mr. Bursum was 50 much ef,
fected BY this action Of the con
ventiOn that he could hardly
talk. He thanked the conyen
tiOn amidst the widest enthusi
asm.
Other strong resolutions were
passed endorsing Presiden

into the question of Government
ownership Of railroads, and de-
clAred what he had seen in ether
countries had served to strength
them his conviction on the sub
ject. He saw danger in central
izatiOn, however, and for this
reason advocated Federal owner
ship of trunk lines and State
ownership of local lines.
The speaker scored the Re-
publican Congress for not pass
ing the legislation urged by
President Roosevelt, giving pub
licity to campaign contributions,
but gave the President some
praise for what he termed his
adoption of Democratic ideas.
Mr.. Bryan said he hoped the in
come tax might some day be i'm
posed through an amendment to
the Constitution. He referred
briefly to the recent insurance
investigation and said smilingly
that he believed the disclosures
made would result in difficulty
in securing large campaign con-
tributions in the future.
OF the financial question, Mr..
Bryan said the unexpected and
unprecedented discovery of gold
had brought a victory to both
the advocate of the gold stand
ard and the advocate of bime-
tallism.
"The Republicans have gained
SO much pleasure and some part
isan advantage" he said, from
the dissension in our ranks OH
the money question that they
ought not to grudge us the
pleasure we find in the fact that
conditions have removed the
cause of discord and dissension. "
Mr.. Bryan spoke for an hour
and twenty minutes and was
frequently interrupted by ap-
plause and cheers.
The only discordant note sound
ed during the evening was when
Mr.. Bryan turned to a discussion
of Socialism and declared be-
cause the Socialist as a rule is an
economic growth and has come
to stay is the one who is helping
the Socialist. Some one yelled :
Three cheers for Socialism, I"
but the call was drowned in
misses, Mr.. Bryan quickly said :
my friends, l have no objec-
tion to any man declaring him.

cause the Socialist as as a rule

THE BURSUM
SENSATION
What This Paper Has to Say
at This Time.
Former Superintendent Of Peni-
tentiary Accused Of Mis-
management.

Last Sundays issue of the AL
buquerque Morning Journal pub
lished quite lengthy report
purporting to be from the ex-
pert accountants who were en-
plOyed to check up the books
and records of Former Peniten-
tiary Superintendent H. o. Bur-
sum.
Said report is pictured by the
Albuquerque Journal in a very
sensational manner. As to its
accuracy we are not in a position
to say. Mr.. Bursum, we think,
should be given a chance to ex-
plain some things before opin-
ions are expressed one way or
the other. And as it will take
some time to bring out the true
situation of affairs this paper re-
trains from any editorial express
sion in this issue, and this we
believe to be fair to all concern
ed.
In this vicinity Mr.. Bursum
has many friends irrespective of
party affiliation, and though he
is accused by the examiners of
his accounts, books, records, ETC.,
of gross mismanagement of peni-
tentiary affairs while superin-
tendent, yet our people almost
to . man believe Mr.. Bursum
honest and consequently will
stand by him till the matter
has been thoroughly sifted pro
and con.
In this particular instance un-
friendly and biased newspapers
can not make the decisions, nor
will the people accept the Opin-
ions Of these papers.
Mr.. Bursum is q strong man
with a great following and no
doubt affair and impartial and
unbiased Investigation viii be
demanded, and until then il
Twill hardly be proper for any
conclusions or any opinions to be
expressed.
Let 4 fair, square deal be Civ
lengMr. Bnrsum by the officials Of
Jour territory as we'll as BY oul
people, and then and not until
then willwe be in a jnstitiable
position to accept the results.

MIR. and Mrs. Robin Redbreast
BY MAY SCOTT.

Mr. and Mrs. Robin Redbreast lived very
contentedly in their beautifully built little
home. which swung merrily on every breeze
that played through the leaves Of the trees
In the orchard. Early that spring Robin. a
handsome young fellow that he was,
spruced up his wing feathers and smoothed
out his beautiful red vest one morning just
as the sun was coming up and flew merrily
off to call upon Miss Redbreast. a distant
cousin, who had been born on the same
farm as he the year before.
She had been a plump jolly little playfel-
low year ago. and he was resolved to
ask her this year to be his little wife and
to come and keep house for him in nest
he was thinking of building in crotch Of
q fine old apple tree.
Little Miss Redbreast had blushingly told
him she would go, and now. few months
after. they stood together on the edge Of
the nest, surveying the three beautiful
speckled eggs.
Always as the sun went down Robin
would persuade his little wife to leave the

"Here-wait a minute" called the lady,
Then as the boy stopped she bought a bag
full Of cakes Of different shapes and sizes
and colors.
'"This Is a present for Jinny,. she said.

Tho urchin's eyes grew round with won

he bolted through the door and was gone.

the black haired boy.

Towhead.
And then the Redbreasts had the most
uncomfortable three minutes OF their lives.
while sticks and stones flew near them, till
Robin whispered: Its almost better to be
discovered than to- be beaten to death."
So she f1uttered out to show the humans
what damage they might do.
"Ohl OH cried Goldenhair. hugging her

I'll get 'em frst." said Blackhair. and
with that the two boys raced up the tree.
scattering pieces Of bark and twigs in all
directions, and filling Goldenhairs eyes full
of dirt.
They both reached up to the nest at the
same moment. but Towhead's arm was
half inch longer, because he was a
month and half older, and he claimed the
prize.
Robin scolded and threatened and beg

little wife pleaded for her babies, but the
boys carried them down to show to Col

To their surprise Goldenhair was in
tears.

'Hurrah!" cried grandfather.
1t was much harder work to put 1t back
than to get 1t down, but it was finally
done.
Poor little Mrs. Redbreast, who had al
most tainted when her birdlings were
stolen. fairly fell into the nest with joy,
and Robin, sitting on a nearby twig. filled
his throat with warbling-a beautiful song
of thanks.
There. listen to that" cried Goldenhair.

watch to see that no harm came to the
precious nest Robin knew that inside of
each egg a baby bird was growing. and
would soon be strong enough to break
through the she'll. Robin loved those eggs
more than anything else he knew of except
his sweet little wife.
Mrs Robin had whispered to him that
she hoped the little bird children would all
be boys for then she could call them Bob
and Rob and Robin, all in honor of her
dear husband.
Bobby, dear" said the little wife one
day. Il think. yes. 1 am sure that by TO-
morrow our little ones will be out she
chirped cheerfuly, while Bobby filled his
throat with song. and all the people at the
farm houses remarked the beauty Of his

Sure enough, next day. Just as the little

day, and as she was eating some cake two
ragged little urchins entered the open door.
One Of them bought loaf Of stale bread
for two cents: but the sight Of the lady
standing there eating those delicious-look-
