Test of True Greatness.

Albuquerque Journal.
In a c~ablegram from Rome Thomas
W. Lawson tells us that in an inter
view with Pope Plus, he was greatly
impressed by the pontiff's extreme
simplicity amid magnificent surround
ings,' and adds: Pope Plus is that
rarity, a perfectly natural man." And
this calls attention to the fact that
it was said at the time the present
Pope was elected, that he was the only
one of the many aSpirants for the
place h e. to Rome, that bought
a return ticket to his home-every
one Of the others expected to be elect
ed. 1t was his simpleness and plain
ness of manner. and his unaffected
1a~turalness that won him the enthus-
iastic support of his colleagues. Com
menting upon these facts the Los An
geles Examiner says:
1t is almost the universal testimony
that the truly great man is simple.
1t is the little man who must make a
great noise to keep from being over
looked.

The Santa Fe New Mexican and
the Albuquerque Citizen have neither
Of them published any part of the Ha-
german letter. though both published
the second letter of the President.
However. they seem to take it for
granted that everybody has read both
sides in the Roswell Daily Record
and the Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal. The New Mexican was interested
Acting Governor Reynolds. and in its
issue of Monday publishes the follow
ing wall:
In the letter addressed to the Pres
ident of the United States by ex-Gov-
ernor Herbert ]. Hagerman, dated
May Is, 1907, in which the ex-Gover-
nor attempted to place the President
in an u~nenviable and improper light,
charges are made also that Acting
Governor ]. w. Reynolds and Survey
or General Morgan o. Llewellyn act
ed in an unlawful nj in certain
land transactions by the Territorial
land board in the a of the sale and
transfer of about 5000 acres of Terri
torial LAM to T. A. Scnomberg and a
number of others.
"A representative OF the New MeSl-
can called on Acting Governor Ray
nolds today and requested information
concerning the charge. Acting Cover
nor Reynolds stated that h matter
referred to could and would be easily
explained by an examination of the
official records in he case, and until
such examination ould be had he did
not care to discuss the subject. Sur
veyor General Morgan o. Llewellyn
was called upon and he made a SINH
lar statement.
IN this connection the reporter OF
the New Mexican ascertained that all
the books pertaining to the business
of the United States Commission for
the selection IF public lands for the
Territory, or the Board of Public
Lands, now out of existence, and OF
the Commissioner of Public Lands
were in the office of the Secretary of
the Interior in the National Capital.

sued by the Territory to persons who
have purchased and were among the
records in Washington. 1t seems that
about n of the last official acts of
Ex-Governor Hagerman was an order
to the Commissioner of Public Lands
to pack these records and turn them
over to the Ex-Governor VINO forward
ed them to the Secretary of the Int
rior at Washington, where they now
are. The reasons for this extraordinary
proceeding were not made public then
AID they are not now generally
known.
Several attorneys who were re-
quested to give their opinion on this
they believe it to have been highly
improper and unjustifable, as the
proper place for these records, on
tanning information and data of the
greatest Importance to the Territory,
was il the Capitol building in the
vaults of the office of the Commission
er of Public Lands, n nowhere else.
Were these records to be destroyed
or lost en- route they could new be
replaced, n such would prove of
the greatest annoyance and possibly
great injury to the Territory"

what we are talking about in discus
sing this extraordinary proceeding"
If the Acting Governor only had the
records no doubt he could fix up an
explanation, or accidentally burn the
books. as might appear to be the safer
course. The Secretary of the Interior
probably had good reason to call for
the records of the Commissioner of
Public Lands. as well as those of the
two boards or commissions that had
gone out of existence. Extraordinary
proceedings" from Washington should
not surprise anybody in these troub-
louS times.

GOVERNOR RAYNoLDS
Has NOTHING TO SAY.

Tae Plunderbund appears to be "up
against it." Even Colonel Frost cannot
explain, and Acting Governor Ray
nolds refuses to talk for publication.
What stumps them is the following
extract from the letter of Mr.. HageT-
man to President Roosevelt:
ain December, 1908, n United
States Land Commission, with Survey
or General LIeweIIyn and Secretary
Reynolds, then acting governor, as
members, ordered the selection of a
large mount of timber land for the
benefit of one Z. A. S~chomberg. The
selection was made, and the Terrific
rial Board, with, I believe, Acting Gov
ernor Reynolds as a member, accept
ed sehomberg's application, received
h price and delivered the deeds.
This has been investigated by the De-
partment of the Interior, and on Feb
ruary 20, 1907, Assistant Attorney
General Campbell gave an opinion
that these officers were guilty of GRIM
inaI conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment, and yet you retain then in Of

Field of Gettysburg there were two
speeches. The first was long and or
nate. It's sound and rhetoric have pass
ed away. In fact, it is impossible.
without consulting the historical ar
chives. even to call to mind the ma he
of h orator who made it.
THE second speech on that mem
orable occasion was 40 longer than
a benediction. Lincoln's speech was
natural. He had written it on the
back of an old envelope while riding
that day in the train to Gettysburg.
He made but one mistake in this fam
Gus ~utterance. 1t was that the world
would little note nor long remember
what he said there. 1t was a mes
sage to humanity and will live for
all time.
The e-xtravagant will sometimes
impress for a time, but the things
that are eternal are the plain, simple
things that are true.

In an attempt to justify the use of
instruments of torture by the former
superintendent of the penitentiary,
the New Mexican asserts that Super

friend of President Roosevelt by the
way, has been guilty of treating pris-
oners in the same way they were
treated under Superintendent Bursum.

Important records are necessary,

Important records are necessary"
says the New Mexican to disprove
the charges Mr.. Hagerman made
against Acting Governor Reynolds
and others. Fortunately those records
are safe in Washington where they
cannot be burned or otherwise mutt
lated, and the examination will be
made by the proper officers, with pow
er to prescribe the punishment.

Possibly the Secretary of the Int

WIT.
IS QUESTIONED FOR AN HOUR
Counsel Chambers Sudden Proposition
to Widen Inquiry Goes Over
for Discussion.

Concord, n. H., Confronted In her
W. home by three special masters,
one of Them a famous a~lienist,
Mrs. Mary b. G. Eddy. head of the
Christian Science church, for an hour
Wednesday afternoon was subjected TO
examination to determine whether she
has capacity to manage her own Of.
fairs.
She answered all questions readily,
seemed TO be of nimble wit that en-
abled her to transfer her attention
quickly from n question to another,
and was apparently unconcerned abou.
the outcome OF the examination.
Judge Aldrich, Hosea G. Parker and
DR.. George F. Jolly, the masters, &C.
%companied by William E. Chandler,
counsel for the plaintiffs; Gen. Frank
S. Streeter, personal counsel for Mrs.
Eddy, ami an official stenographer,
made up she party Of visitors.
Counsel Springs Surprise.
Following the visit to Mrs. Eddy.
pr~eclptatei by the counsel of the next
friends" a surprise was sprung by the
counsel for the plaintiffs in their en-.
deayor to widen the scope of inquiry
so that IL would include the PROPOSE.
ton that The teaching Of Christion Sci.
ence by Mrs. Eddy for a generation
was direct evidence OF her general In.
sanity.
This proposition was elucidated by
Counsel Howe, associate OF Mr.. Chan,
dler, and was more amplifed in its
character than the original proposition
submitted by the latter In his opening
Tuesday. the proposition that Mrs.
Eddy %as the victim OF seven syste-
matte decisions. which had been pro-
gressive and which had eliminated In
her mental destruction.
Postponed for Argument.
This receding or simplifying from the
original position was hardly welcomed
by General Streeter, and the matter
went yer until Thursday for argr.
ment.
Judge Aldrich. acting as spokesman
for the masters, had already ruled that
the hearing was not to he taken as dis.
establishing Christian Science as a reli.
gious corporation, but in regard to this
latter case admitted that the PROPOSE
ton was one that must be settled later
on by the masters. This statement by
the senior master is taken to mean
that Mrs. Eddy must finally submit to
examination by a~lienists, either DR..
jolly, as ,Laster, or by a commission.

This food contains the selected parts

One curious feature regarding true
