PROSPECTIVE EXHIBITORS
SHOULD ARRANGE AT ONCE

The irrigated land products exposi-
ton and exhibit of forestry products,
which is to be held in connection WITH
the National Irrigation Congress this
year in California, at Sacramento, is
going t be a most interesting and
Instructive affair. The trophies aid
prizes hung up for competition are
certainly worthy of the best efforts.
Those sections and individuals that
contemplate making exhibits should
be perfecting their arrangements now
as there is not a great deal of time
left between this and September. Cal
ifornia exhibitors cannot compete for
the general line OF trophies, which
puts other states on an equal basis
and does not handicap them, as would
be the case If competing with home
products grown in the vicinity of the
exposition The forestry products ex-
hibits are expected to be very inter
esting. Many farmers ON irrigated land
are making their arrangements to
send prize products.

HARD LINES FOR
THE PLUNDERBUND.
Santa Fe Eagle

From Santa Fe Eagle.
1t is an old adage that troubles new
er come silgly. They come by twos
and tArees n in punches, and some
times in bundles of bunches.\
Just now the troubles of the Plum
derbund are coming in bundles of
punches. and the bundles are coming
altogether 90 swift for comfort.
Some weeks ago, when it was
thought that Captain Curry would not
be here before the middle of Septem-
Der, it IA thought that it would be
a fine thing to remove the superin-
.tendent of the ~penitentiary and get a
new man in a couple of months be-
fore the arrival of Captain Curry. The
matter was talked over and it was
concluded that it would be better to
go through the formality of preferring
ford. The charges were finally fixed,
but they did not quite fill the bill, and
that was a disappointment.
Then the necessity Of filling the
place became a burning question.
More than half a dozen candidates
for the position offered themselves
and the there was more trouble in
trying to select a without making
enemies out Of ali the rest. In the
midst OF all this trouble came the an
nouncement that Curry had sailed a
month o n tnan was expected and
that he would. in all probability, Sc
lect a superintendent of the peniten-
tiary soon after his arrival. As a con-
sequence the p~enitentiary situation
is decidedly mixed, and the members
of the P~lunderbund are beginning to
wonder where they are at and wheth-
er Curry is going to appoint Pat Gar
rett or Charley Ballard superintend-
ent of the penitentiary.

A "FAIR MINDED" MAN.

We presume that the editor of the
New Mexican calls himself a fair
minded man. However, we quote a
few expressions from a brief article
in his paper:
Fake reform mask thrown OFF,"
Coyotes and fakirs."
"Chameleons."
"LfbeIing decent Republicans"
THE Hagerman regime is being
shown up as h very worst and most
despicable reign of graft"
"Nefarious conduct"
"Hypocritical reform"
Disregard of law and honesty and
OF decency by the Hagerman reform
clique and its few shameless newspa-
Per supporters"
vile character assassins."
All OF which would seem to indicate
that the Colonel is irritated about
something personal.

THE Republicans have something
before them besides dividing the
honors and spoils. They have a vic
tory to win, and they will not win
it if they do not hold the confidence
of the men President Roosevelt has
beer educating to believe that cor
porate wealth must be put in check.
1t is well thus early to recognize
just what it near that Mr.. Bryan
has e invited to address so ma
ny Legislative bodies"
the country is beginning to under
stand that about all the good in the
Roosevelt administration comes of
adopting Democratic policies. During
the last tea years h most effective
and p~ersevering advocate of these pol
icies has been Mr.. Bryan. Twice the
nominee of the party charged with
expounding and defending its plat
forms, n meanwhile acting in his
personal capacity as a public speaker
in constant demand and almos daily
pleading for the man above he dol
lar, he mas become popularity identi-
fed with these measures to such an
extent that the people ulconsciously
identify him with them. AS a conse-
quence, those who do not recall Mr..
Bryan's earlier advocacy of restraint
VI pISudIOIl "CdIII at a CSoAN
him as next best to Roosevelt in such
a program; and those of more accu-
rate observation fully understand that
Mr.. Roosevelt is only following Mr..
Bryan's ideas and that the country
would fare better by putting the poll
cies in the hands of their original pro-
moter.
Republicans of discernment realize
that they canno hope to win against
Bryan without a man of the Roose-
welt school whom Roosevelt himself
will openly advocate. Yet it has al
ways been impossible in American
politics for one popular man to trans
fer his following to another, and it
is extremely doubtful whether Mr..
Roosevelt can do so in 1908. The in
dependent Roosevelt followers will
certainly not go to a Republican stall
wart like Fairbanks or Foraker, and
as between Taft and Bryan they will
naturally prefer Bryan in spite OF
Roosevelt's personal effort, for they
recognize Bryan as a sincere n cour
ageous reformer, while they suspect
that Taft is little more than an apt
pupil who may or may not perseVere
il the ~precepts of his master.

sRYAn,s GROWING STRENGTH.

Pessimistic Democrats who doubt
the wisdom of nominating Mr.. Bryan
a third time and who think he has

Colonel Frost keeps the "Parson"
busy searching the lexicon of an
tiquity. We find that "anathema" was
originally anything put up in a tenn
pie. that is offered to the gods. This
putting up was formerly a solemn Ger.
emory Of the church, but eventually
came to be regarded as bribery-and
finally the term "anathema" has de
generated into a mere crossword in
the New Mexican. Then another
qualification, idiot" is hurled upon
us.-but we really do not believe the
Colonel any harm. He is only
using the word in its ancient sense,
meaning "a person not holding a pub,

Correspondent Had No Time to Waste
with Vice President.

Vice President Fairbanks stopped
a newspaper man the other day, and
good-naturedly asked explanation Of
an incident which happened years
ago. On that occasion Mr. Fairbanks
and the correspondent were chatting
pleasantly, when suddenly the latter
moved away to meet Senator Chand-
Ter of Maine. The vice president said:
Il have always had great curiosity to
know why you deserted me that day"
The newspaper man hesitated for a
moment, and then replied: TO tell
you the truth, Mr.. Vice President, you
are mighty dry source of news. You
may have a nose for news, but |
doubt it; at any rate, you never give
up any. Now, when a newspaper man
is cunning for big, live news he hasn't
got time to stop and exchange small
talk with a man, even if he be a SEN
ator, who would not know the price of
news if he saw it" Mr.. Fairbanks
smiled. Il thank you for your frank
ness" he said. Il see | shall have to

ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune
Spent on Her Without Benefit
Cured Her with cuticura.

II have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old
DR.. c. suggested that he try the
Cuticura Remedies which he did.
When he commenced to use it the
child was almost solid scab. He
had used it about two months and
the child was well. l was there when
they commenced to use your Cuti-
cura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed
two weeks and then went back and
stayed with them two weeks longer,
and when I went home I could hardly
believe she was the same child. Her
skin was as soft as a baby's with
out a scar on it. have not seen her

her she was we'll. Mrs. w. P. Ingle, Bur-

/, Godfather of the Army.

When the Vermont man, Redfield
Proctor, was war secretary there was
an army regulation making it compul-
sorry on the soldiers to attend tattoo
roll call, says the Chicago Post. Tat
toosounded at nine o'clock, and in the
summer, when the sunset was late,
there was little more than an hour be.
tween dress parade and the next for.
nation. The result of this was that
the soldier had no time to make a
call on his sweetheart or to visit the
village near the garrison. Secretary
Proctor issued an order doing away
with compulsory attendance at tattoo
and substituted therefor a rule that
the men must be in quarters at II
o'clock at the latest. The change was
boon to the men and a service to dis.
cipline. The oldest men of the United
States army regard Redfeld Proctor
now senator from the state of Yer.
mont, as sort of godfather to the
service.
