THE DENVER EL PASo LINE
ASSURED NEXT YEAR


From the Albuquerque Journal.
1t may be said. ON the authority OF
railroad official who ID In q position
to give definite information, that a
through line of railroad will be in
operation by the Pheips-Dodge inter
ests. owners Of the 81 Paso & South
western system, within eighteen
months. between Denver and FL Paso
by way OF Las Vegas and passing near
enough to Albuquerque and with such
connections as to be Of vast benefit
to local shippers.
This is the line which up to the
present time has been known defln-
itely only as short line to connect
the Phelps Dodge coal mines at Daw-
son with the main line below Carri-
zozo. cutting off the long haul over
the Rock Island line to Santa Rosa,
where the Ell Paso G. Southwestern
line begins.
The line from the Dawson mines.
for which final surveys were approved
some time ago, will connect with the
main line below Duran, crossing both
the Santa Fe cutoff and the Santa Fe
Central railroad and going through
Las Vegas.
| 1t Is now learned on good authority
line Is to be extended from Dawson
| to connection with Denver, which
will mean through freight and pas
senger service between Denver and
Eel Paso, Las Vegas and Albuquerque
The surveys for the extension from
Dawson north have been made and
approved and 1t is stated that the road
will be in operation within eighteen
months. Contracts for construction
are to be let in the very near future.
The benefit OF this line to Las We
gas will be great. but 1t will be even
greater to Albuquerque.
The best the new line will do fol
Las Vegas will he to give that city
cheap coal. although 1t will also near
much for Las Vegas wholesalers. Blu
for Albuquerque, connecting as 1t does
with the Santa Fe cutoff, eastern ant
northern New Mexico, 1t means ben
eft to shippers hardly to be meas
ured.
With the Santa Fe cutoff In opera
ton, every railroad built across cen
trail and eastern New Mexico is bount
to prove boon to Albuquerque ant
this line will be no exception.

Governor Hagerr1an to address the
meeting after receipt OF the wire from
Mr.. Armstrong. He said that he had
travelled extensively throughout the
whole Southwest during the recent
months and that Durango is the best
advertised town he knew OF.
Speaking OF the Arizona G. Colo
RADIO railroad. he said that the
coal which they want is here and
the coal need not seek the market be-
cause the market is seeking the coal.
He predicted that the D. G. r. G.
would standard gauge their track be-
fore long also. Citing the fact that
the Arizona & Colorado has thirty
two parties in the field and that the
parties are costing about $4,000 each
per month. he asked his hearers to
draw their own conclusions as to the
probability OF the building OF the new
road.
l.. c. Jakway said that he would
not dwell upon the facts In connec-
tion with the regular work of the
board OF trade, but that he should
like to say that the board could not
do everything, and one thing that Du-
range needs is better citizenship. Mr..
Jakway called attention to the primar-
les and hoped everybody would take
more active part in political work,
driving out the curbstone politicians
who have been running things and
nominating and electing men to of
flee who have the best interests of
the community at heart and will at all
times work therefor. Men who have
never made success Of their own
business and spend their time in
Matching political schemes exclusive
~ should not be intrusted with the po-
itical destinies of any people," said
Mr.. Jakway.
p. c. Shannon spoke of the effort
land subject to entry under the home
| stead act and urged the board of trade
| to lend its assistance to the defeat OF
| any such measure, giving as the rea-
son the belief that the measure was
| the work OF land sharks who hope by
its means to gobble up lands which
should rightfully go to bona fide set
tiers now and In the future.
| A letter from Superintendent Spear
OF the Fort Lewis Indian school was
read. 1t was accompanied by an ar
gument for the revision of the present
law affecting Indian schools, which
requires that no Indian child can be
taken without the boundaries of the
state or territory in which he resides
to a school. This initiates gravely
against the success OF the Fort Lewis
school. inasmuch as 1t debars Mr.
Spear from going to the Navajo reser
walton for pupils. The law was 6
dead letter under Indian Commits
sioner Jones, but was revived by Com
missioner Leupp. and is menace tc
the existence of the Fort Lewis school
The matter will be taken up at the
next meeting of the board.

GIVE THE RATE LAW A TRIAL.

The weakness for agitation and ef-
forts at legislation, without waiting
for the trial of laws already enacted.
was never more forcibly illustrated
than in the present attitude of Mr..
Bryan the peerless leader" of the
Democrats, toward the new rate regu-
lation law. In one and the same
breath Mr.. Bryan claims the credit
for this new legislation. and condemns
H. to failure. He boasts that Presi-
dent Roosevelt went to the Demo
cratic platform for his inspiration,
and at the same time he declares that
no rate legislation can be successful,
and that the government must take
over the ownership and operation OF
all railroads to settle the vexed ques-
tion of rates. In this inconsistent po-
sition Mr.. Bryan illustrates the differ
ence between agitation and states
manship. The agitator is not looking
to the peace and prosperity Of the
country so much as he Is looking af-
ter his own notoriety. We have had
agitators from the beginning of time,
and they have been much like Mr..
Bryan, but they never accomplished
anything for the public good.
This is a government of law and not
government of men. The law is the
supreme force, and the more stable
the law is the more secure the inter
ests OF the country will be. Legislation
is not the chief aim of the govern.
ment, 1t Is only incidental-to cor
rect the law after that proves to be a
failure or erroneous. But Mr.. Bryan
seems to think that when congress
has enacted a law the purpose of the
enactment Is complete. and that new
campaign for new law is In order. He
claims credit for an idea az soon as
1t is worked out in legislation. II the
idea was good as 1t appeared In the
Democratic platform, why is it not
equally good when 1t appeared In the
statute? Why not try the law?
But Mr.. Bryan abandons the child
he claims as his own, as soon as 1t
reaches maturity. He had now found
a new subject for agitation, and it is
not new 3ven in this country as an
agitation. The Populists and the So
cialists are several years ahead of Mr..
Bryan in demanding government own
ership of railroads. These men live
and thrive by agitation, and In what
manner does Mr.. Bryan differ from
those who have for ten years demand
ed government ownership under the
name of Socialists? The new rate
law is on the statute books, and the
president Is preparing for its strict
enforcement Unless he can do that
the law will be so much wasted paper.
1t is a good time for the agitators who
agitate to take back seat and wait
until the law has been given trial

London Humor and Fun.


Mention has been made of the gay and
careless nature Of the Partisan. Has any
one except a true-born Londoner ever OBJ
served the humor and fun which lie In great
masses among the people OF London? Mr..
w. w. Jacobs in modern days has depicted
some Of this In special particulars Dick
ems. above all writers, most faithfully por-
trayed many phases OF It, Thackeray has
dealt with it In a manner not likely to be
repeated But ala three authors do not col
lectively make up the mass OF London hal
NOR. 1t Is everywhere. 1t peeps out with
drivers of public vehicles who use their
horses as friends from whom to draw in
spiration for their sailies OF humor, and one
wonders what viii become of all this when
the horseless vehicle ID the universal mode
OF vehicular traction. Surely the man who
turns handle is not the same as the man
who holds the reins. and cannot get out of
electricity and petroleum what has been got
out Of the pulsations OF horses. 1t comes
to us from the railway porters and servants
who keep at bay the troublesome multitude
by dertly turning into broad farce events
which begin seriously. 1t comes too. from
hotel and restaurant walters who see
enough of the grim humors or life TO be-
come an almost endless source of inspira-
ton But 1t is also apparent on the sur
face, Butcher boy and baker boy and shop

fall to attract. One does not quite meet
the counterparts of these people In Paris.
Those who take their place there are not
so distinctive, and partake more OF the
characteristics of the average Partisan.
They send out. therefore. to the observer
only what the average Partisan sends out,

CAUGHT BY wATcHFuL POLICE.
Young Man Detected in Entering To-
cal Minister'S Residence.

young man who gave his name as
Albert e. Byrnes and who afterward said
his name Is Albert Bowery, was arrested
shortly after o'clock yesterday morning
by Policemen Sheetz and Kleindienst and
locked up at the third precinct station to
answer a charge of housebreaking. 1t is
charged that he entered the home of the
Rev. Paul A. Mcneil, pastor of the Con-
cordia Church, 1920 G street northwest, but
he was arrested before he had an oppor
tunity TO take anything. Policeman Sheetz
saw the man climb through the front win.
dow of the pastors home. and as soon as
he got the other officer to assist him. he
went to the house and sounded the bell
The intruder made an effort to get out the
back way, but the presence there of Po-
liceman Kleindienst made him change his
mind and he then went to the front of the
house
Policeman Sheetz was there waiting for
him and the sight of the drawn revolver
of the policeman caused him to give up
without offering any resistance. When
searched at the station. the police found
on him a note book ir which he had written
the names of a num- bar of residents of this
city He said first ne was from Cleveland.

NEW PARTY IN SCOTLAND.
To Be Open to Liberals and Conserva
tives Alike.

Special Cablegram to The Star
GLASGOW. April 23-An effort Is being
made since the recent trouble over the
question Of the organization OF the Scot
fish liberals to organize a new party here
in Scotland. Whether this will be made
an effort to drive an entering wedge into
the liberals or the conservatives 1t is for
the future to unfold, but 1t is urged the
nucleus for such a party is to be found
in those members OF the present parliament
who own allegiance to the Duke of Devon
shire-a party which will be open to liberals
and conservatives alike on the basis OF the
maintenance Of free trade. the preservation
Of the union and opposition to the subver-
sive policy of the new labor-socialist group.
There are many who agree with Mr..
Chamberlain that the results Of the recent
elections are not truly indicative OF the
feeling OF the country on the fiscal ques-
ton. In fact. 1t II probable that the ma
1ority Of liberals as well as conservatives
would freely admit that the issues were
not clearly defined. It 10 quite well known
that many votes were given to protection
lists and advanced retaliators. not as such
but as the official representatives of the
unionist party; and one may indulge the
hope and the belief that in future elections
at least this question 10 not complicated
with a thousand and one other issues.
The liveliest kind OF a protest Is now go
Of the Clyde trust are building storage
warehouses and entering into active compe-
ton with the stores now existing. It Is de-
ciared that this is opening up large and
a serious question Of vital moment not to
storekeepers only, but to private enterprise
in all It's forms. From storekeeping to
carriage contracting the step Is a small and
obvious one, and once the principle is ac--
copied there Is no logical reason, It is
claimed. why the trust may not become
vendors Of flour and grain. and 80 elm
mate the private trader altogether. 1t IL
claimed that there is no city In Great Brit
ain so well supplied with storage ware
houses as Glasgow. and arguments are be-
ing advanced against public body with
unlimited funds at It's disposal thinking Of
starting on course. the ultimate object of
which can only be the destruction Of tho
existing storage trade.

fine apparel, robes of purple, yellow and
white" and assuming pompous walk He
asserted the "apostle's' trip to Europe was
responsible for this for he had returned
with the idea that he was to be the ruler
OF nation and the religious adviser Of
kings.
1T was the same way with Solomon" said
voliva. while he was humble and God
fearing he was blessed. While Dowie was
leading the simple life and was content to
wear common clothes instead of Mother
Hubbard dress he converted hundreds Of
people,
At the conclusion of the meeting Voliva
asked the members of the restoration host
to renounce their oaths given to Dowie, and
with only a few exceptions this was done.
