Decoration OF Nver4reens and Flow.
ers 10 Of Pagan Origin.
The Christmas decorations may have
originated in the saturnalia or in the
old Teutonic practice Of hanging tht
interior of dwellings with evergreen
as refuge for sylvan spirits from the
inclemency Of the winter. but tbs
Christmas tree is Of German origin.
It Is their chief ornament and symbol
It is not used for the hanging e gifts,
but It ID used entirely as bright orna
ment, being made to giisten with
lights and tinsel.
It is kept throughout the II days Of
Christmas and at intervals u lighted
and on New Years eve Is lighted for
all night.
The custom Of decorating dwellings
and churches with evergreen was
known by the Christians % be REM
nanr Of pagaDism and was forbidden
by the council. but 1t had too strong q
hold to be given up.
Even in Boston Justice Samuel Sew
all cried out against It, but It crePt to
its place by degrees. Holly and Ivy
were favorites in Great Britain, being
regarded as sacred emblems Of tho
season.
Holly used In churches was kept By
families to insure lucky year.
The mistletoe was held In 80 much
veneration by the pagans that It was
cut with q golden sickle by the primes
Of the Druids, with whom It first ap
pears.
The Introduction Of flowers to the
tokens Of festiYity seems to have ex.
listed universally and at all times Of
history. It was a pagan manifesta-
tion of rejoicing, and. although forbid
den by the early church and dc.
nounced by the Puritans Of New Eng
land, It became q general custom.
While obliged to give credit to eafiy

A SHOT.

From TeXtCO
AS one after another of the terri
torial offices are made vacan by rea-
son of the resignation of Ex-Governor
Hagerman, they are being filed by
the appointment or reappointment of
the same men who were removed
from Office by Governor Hagerman
when lie was made governor AS
these new appointees were old officials
under the old regime, it becomes plain
er why Governor Hagerman was re-
moved. Most If not all of the officials
removed by Hagerma1 were accused
of grating in some ann or anoth-
er. Some of them ave disgorged a
part of the plumber, while others have
not. We assume that no further effort
will be made to compel a restitution.
and we base this assumption on the
fact that the safe men are being ap-
pointed to the positions held when
the territory was being robbed before
We naturally conclude that the men
now in the saddle in New Mexico
are more satisfactory to the gentle
man who yields the big stick than
the reform governor lately deposed.
ust what stand Governor Curry will
take, of course. cannot be told at this
time, but we nno get over the idea
he is supposed to be governor in
name only, and if he should take tine
position that territorial money must
be spent economically and for the
best interests of the people, instead
of discharging political debts to the
faithful, he will be asked to stand
aside, and a regulation man will be
given the place. In fact, we e no
relief for New Mexico so long as Roos
evelt is president. Some of the news
papers are deludi1g themselves in
irving TO believe that the president
has been imposed upon and will reme-
matters when ne finds out the true
situation. We are not so hopeful,
on the contrary expect ga1g rule
in New Mexico so long as Roosevelt
occupies the White House.

with Roosevelt on the New Mexico sit
uation say that he absolutely refused
to hear anything thai Governor Ha-
german might say in his defense; that
Hagerman's friends who went to Wash
ington in his behalf were fiercely de-
nounced by the president, who de-
manded not only Hagerman's resigla-
ton but that of Levi Hughes, treasur-
err and Attorney General w. C. Reid.
Mr.. Hughes went to Washington in
Governor Hagerman's interest while
Mr.. Reid says ne advised Governor
Hagerman to deliver the Pelnsylva-
MIA Development company deeds.
The impression President Roosevelt
gave these men was hat of a man
trunk with power. VINO dominated his
cabinet like a car, n brOoked no

Is this the ideal republican form of

IF George Curry does nothing but

be so presented.-New Mexican
Nothing would please the New Mex

whea we come to think about it, why

INTELLIGENCE AND WAGES.
(By Samuel Compers, President An
ericaD Federation of labor

~
erican Federation of Labor.)
AS the intelligence of the working
classes has advanced so has the wage
scale, allowing the people to meet
the manifold demand made upon them
by our modern Society. The most
satisfactory method IN settling differ
c arising between employer and
employee that has been found to be
beneficial to the laboring man is that
of arbitration. At present the adjust
melt of all trouble is first sought thru
that medium, and it has proved a fl
nancial saving to the working classes
Socialism and its theories would not
help the employer or employee as a
e of settling their disputes. the
many Sorts of socialism bar it from
being considered.
The slight difference between the
political parties is becoming as ap-
parent not only to the working class
es, but to all men, that party lines are
dropped n the cause of granting a
better condition is advocated.
Organized labor will continue to en-
ter the political field in an effort to
bring about the betterment of labor
and h common good.
Treachery and dishonest methods
must of necessity vanish with publici-
~.
