the Metropolitan.
IT is very probable that Statehood

constitution that has been framed. for

primaries for Senator, 70 be deprived Of
the coveted honor. but there is many

a Senatorial toga."
4 left New York City seven years ago
for Albuquerque n Mex. and I shall
always be glad that made the change"
said Mr. Thomas F, Morrin, at the Riggs
House. There Is something about the
free and informal life Of the West that is
especially fascinating. but aside from this
there is a much greater chance for a
Young man 20 rise in the world and better
his condition In a new country than in the
older communities.
Albuquerque is a thriving, busy place
with a solid, steady growth. One section
Of it is called old town and II is really
very ancient settlement as its 20
year-old Catholic church tesufes This
church. called San Felipe de Neri. Is
still in fine state Of preservation, and
has a large roll Of membership. The new
town Is equipped with every modern de-
vice and is inhabited by a population of
enterprising, hUstlng Americans. I think,
after all, that one Of the chief charms Of
the country Is its matchless climate
There are few DAYS I'm the year in which
the sun is not shining and the air IS Of
the bracing kind that makes existence a
delight"

ganized labor will take a very active part
IN national politics next year" said Mr.
w N. Atkins. Of New York, at the Ra-
leigh.
As matters now stand. the man who
is best liked by the labor people and who
has the strongest chance Of securing their
support in the Presidential race IS Vice
President Fairbanks. The most unpopu-
lar candidate with wageWorkers is Secre-
tary Taft. because OF his anti-lab0r de-
cisi0ns when he was on the bench. Should

Two leading citizens Of Columbus. Ohio.
were az the New Willard Yesterday
Messrs. Herman p. Dennison and Gros-
venor Hutchins. Mr.. Dennison is a son
Of the former famous governor Of Ohio.
who was also Postmaster General in Lin
coins Cabinet Mr.. Hutchins is a pros
porous manufacturer. At the New VIII
lard also was Mr.. George A. Beaton. a
former Ohio man. but now a financial
magnate of New York, He is a native
Of Athens. Ohio. and about a year
ago concluded that it would be a good
idea 60 have a reunion Of all Athenians
and. accordingly a call went out to every
part of the land for the sons Of Athens
To convene on their native heath. Il
was a great gathering and Mr.. Beat0n
acted as host 10 several hundred people,
many Of whom had jOurneyed a long way
TO be present at homecoming.
We are moving along in q very quiet.
uneventful sort Of way IN the Hawaiian
I Islands, said Gov. Carter. Of the Terri
tory of Hawaii. at the New Willard.
Life in our country Is generally placid,
and exciting episodes are few and far
between. There Is not much to break the
monotony in a small region. where the
weather even IS perpetually the same.
We have all sorts and conditions Of men,
but in our isolated and peaceful country
the mixture Of many races does not
create confusion. The japanese are a big
element in our population. and yet we
have no trouble with them over the
school question. We do not attempt 20
bar them from our schools, but avoid
friction by not allowing growu-up young
men Of any race 70 90 TO the same schools
which the smaa children attend. Had
this regulation been made in San Fran
cisco there never would have been any
disturbing racial question raised 10

When Bryan was beaten IN 1900 there
were many Democrats who remarked that
he was done for permanently" said Mr.
o. b Martin. Of New Orleans, at the
Arlington.
This second defeat would have been
ruinous to almost any politician. and yet
we have Bryan at the front again with
every prospect Of being once more the
choice Of HIS party. His chronic admirers
claim that he Is stronger to-day than
ever before but that is merely q matter
Of opinion and speculation II occurs 20
me that Bryan's strength lies in the fact
that the Democratic party has few really
great leaders. In this il is like the
Liberal party in England. which is now
going TO pieces apparently for want Of
some great brosd-minded statesman OF
the order Of Mr.. Gladstone. Bryan over
shadows any Of the prominent men OF his
party largely because Of the great adver-
tisement ne got in being twice a Presi-
Dental nominee

az the Shoreham.
There is a charming atmosphere about
your Capital that is very welcome. 1t
has none Of the horrid rush, none of the
purely mercenary aspect that is so con
spicuous in New York. Washington. in
fact, in its external appearance. is very
much like some of our English towns.
Its people do not seem TO be Influenced
only by the idea Of making money, as do
the inhabitants Of most Of your big cities.
