Governors of many states are eX-
pected to attend the fifteenth Nation
al Irrigation Congress to be held in
Sacramento, September 2-7 ext. The
President of the Congress, Governor
George E. Chamberlain of Oregon.
has written to the Governors of the
sixteen Western States and Terri
tories which come under the provis-
ions of the National Reclamation Act
inviting them to be present and espec-
tally urging the Importance of the pre-
sence of the executives of all these
States. Governors of other States
have also been or will be invited to
attend and several are expected to
come long distances for the purpose of
attending and participating in the
congress.
The great irrigation works which
are being constructed by the Nation
al Government in the sixteen Western
States and territories are an incentive
to keen interest in the National Irriga

The New Yor Times put in a word
for healthy public sentiment in COM

Abraham Mummel if the reports as to

Hummel is really less deserving of

WHY HE FAILED
AS A POLITICIAN

In his speech at the banquet given
Judge Freeman at Carlsbad last week,
Attorney L. o. Fullen said:
mo good politician can be a good
lawyer; no good lawyer a be a good
politician, therefore, at least Is a
New Mexico politician, Judge Free
man was a failure. Why? Because he
was not of the small stature to play
the game as it must be played in this
particular spot of the universe in or
der to win. Because when a head
popped up he believed in cracking it.
Because he had the effrontery aid
temerity to say many things tina had
better been left unsaid if he wished
the smiles of the political goddess.
Because he is the mould of man that
appeals to a mans reason, and not
to his appetite or financial greed. And
if there are any real politicians pres
ent they know just about how far a
man can get in substantial matters
and accomplishments in the political
game by travelling the reason route

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
MADE A MISTAKE.

1t will be very difficult for President
Roosevelt, or anybody else, to make
the public believe that former Cover
nor Hagerman, of New Mexico. was
guilty of any unlawful, improper or
fraudulent act in the administration
of the governors Office.
Mr.. Hagerman's complete letter as
published in last evenings Telegraph,
gives a full and emphatic reply to the
charge made against him and offers
a reasonable and convincing explana-
ton of his acts. In brief under the
authority of the law, as he understood
it, and after receiving advice from the
encouragement of New Mexico, the
legal spokesman of the territory.
Mr.. Roosevelt, however, pays but
little attention to this and treats he
governor with scant courtesy saying
he should have dismissed him instead
of asking for his resignation, and in
all respects acting in an arbitrary, I'M
just and u~nwarranted manner.
Mr.. Hagerman's good name n his
honorable reputation certainly deserv-
ed for him something more than would
be accorded to a fourth-class postmas-
ter at the cross roads.
The president in this case as in ma
ny others, apparently made up his
mind without any reflection, and then
determined to stick to it. no matter
who might be injured. 1t is unfortu-
nate that the president is of the tenn
permanent than a only e one side
of a case, v though gross injustice
may be done by such a course
Our chief executive appears to pos
sess the faculty of alternating many of
who otherwise might be his friends
and of making bitter enemies of men
who have quite a high ideals of pub
lie service and duty as he maintains.
1t is no credit to him. or his exalted
office, hat he so frequently uses his
power and position to befittle and es-
perse the work and the character of
other men who ave a high standing
in the respective communities in
which they live Colorado Springs

HEARING
in DELEGATE CONTEST

o William B.. Childers passed
through this city, yesterday afternoon
says the Las Vegas Optic of the 14th,
on his way from his home at Albuquer
que to Washington where he will ap-
pear for Delegate w. H. Andrews in
he preliminary hearing of the An
drews-LarrazoIo contest case. Hon.
H. B.. Ferguson, former delegate to
congress-, also a resident of Albuquer-
que, left this city this morning for
the capital to represent the interests
of o. A. Larrazolo. He came up from
the Duke City yesterday morning and
spent the day here comforting with
Mr.. Larrazolo, Chairman A. A. Jones
of the Democratic territorial central
committee, Judge E. v. Long and 9TH
er attorneys interested in the proceed
ings.
All the testimony in the cas- has
been taken prepared and forwarded
to Washington and the two attorneys
will meet on ext Tuesday with the
chief clerk of the lower house of con-
greSs and determine what testimony
shall be printed. All the unimportant
matter in the testimony of both sides
will be weeded out so that the evil
dence will be as brief as possible.
During the vacation this evidence
will be printed aid the printed record
will go before the committee on cleo
lions appointed by the new congress
and it will then appoint a time for the
hearing of the case. 1t is probable
that a number of attorneys interested
will hen go to Washington.
Everyone is familiar with the con-
test arising from the late election.
Both the present delegate Hon. w. H.
Andrews Il Hon. o. A. Larrazolo,
the democratic candidate claim the
election by several hundred votes.

icies," declares Mr.. Patterson. ct is
a gathering of western men for the
purpose of considering a question vi
tai to the progress of the West. The
sentiment in this section is overwhelm
i1gly against the public land policy
to which the president has commit
ted himself, and as the people of this
section are the ones directly affected
that sentiment has a right to expires
sion. That such a meeting SHOULD of
fend the Washington Democrats, who
think the world is saved by e tape,
is not surprising, but j don't see why
Mr.. Roosevelt should lake offense."

STATE INSPECTION.
Steamboat inspection Law Can MOI
be Enforced.

OLYMPIA, June S.-The state steam
boat inspection law, which becomes ef-
fective June Is, will be enforced only
upon the inland lakes and waters OF the
state having no navigable outlet to the
sea, and not upon salt water.
Assistant Attorney General A. J..
Falknor today advised Labor Commits
sioner Charles Hubbard, who is ex-of-
ficio steamboat inspector, that the fed.
eral government has exclusive control
over all waters of the state, and an at
tempt to enforce the state law upon
Puget Sound, the Columbia river, and
other open waters would result in con-
hict with the federal government, which
has exclusive authority.
Although the government inspection
includes no vessel under fifteen tons, yet
the government prescribes certain regu-
lations for the smaller craft, with which
the state regulations conflict.

posters few years ago claiming to ex-
hibit eighteen or twenty Of the only
Arabian horses brought to America.
He said they were captured with great
difficulty and brought to New York by
q special permit of the sultan; that
they were Of the family known in his
tory as the eagle feather horses, so
much priced in the queen Of Sheba's
days; that they were snow white, with
big markings in their spots Of the tip
Of eagle feathers. We don't have to
believe everything we read on the cir
Gus posters. In this case am mighty
certain these spotted Arabians" were
bought at Albany, Ore. The most Pc
culiar part Of this spotted horse bust
ness is this, and 1t is not very strange
reason when you know 1t, that spotted
anything is created by a mixture Of
different races or different breeds, and
that likely accounts for the fact that

STATE IS CLAIMANT
For Contested Land Where Original
Settler is OuSfed.

OLYMPIA, June Enclosures are about
to be taken by the attorney generals
office to recover lands which it is con-
tended have neen wrongfully acquired
by contestants.
The enabling act granted to the state
OF Washington land sections numbered
16, bnt where actual settlers were found
on land in these sections before their
homestead, and the state was then all
lowed to select lieu lands instead. In
many cases contestants appeared after
survey and succeeded in acquiring lands
by contest proceedings.
1t has now been decided by the attor-
ney general that the state, and not the
contestants, is entitled to all lands from
which the original settler lie thus ousted
by subsequent settler as contestant.
Two such cases are pending before the
state land Office from Pacific county.
Assistant Attorney General Falknor will
actively participate in the proceedings,
with a view to bringing out the facts as
to the right OF the original settler to the
| land.
As matter of justice and in fairness
to all concerned, however, the attorney
general has served notice on the con-
testant that if he succeeds in establish
| ing his claim against the contestee, the
land will be at once claimed by the state,
on the ground that only the original set.
tier, who went on the land prior to the
survey, is entitled to any right of entry
as against the grant to the state.
