1t is real amusing to see the
way afew of the papers of the
Territory, among them one or
two so-called Republican sheets,
are ranting and tearing their
hair out by the roots because
Teddy won't take Herbert back.
Might just as well save your
wind, boys. Roosevelt knew the
facts before he made the change,
a change which the people Of
the entire Territory hail with
joy, and all the slanderous at
tacks you can command on the
President and the able and in
fluential Republican leaders of
the Territory will be about as
effective as trying to keep water
on q ducks back.

THE SANTA FE'S SNuB.

The request of the citizens of
Ell Paso, Silver City, Deming and
other towns along the Santa Fe
for a day train from Ell Paso to
Deming, has been turned down
by the road. The train would
have been a convenience the trav-
cling public would not have been
slow in appreciating. = Deming
Graphs.
The train was not asked for
merely as a convenience, but be-
cause business demands it, and
if the Santa Fe road was inclin-
ed to give the travelling public
good, comfortable service in re-
turn for the money it takes, the
daylight train between Ell Paso
and Silver City would have been
put on some months ago. The
Santa Fe train leaving the El
Paso union depot every night is
crowded to an uncomfortable de-
gree, many of the passengers
having to stand up until they
reach their destination or until
those bound for Deming and Sill
yer City have been transferred
at Rincon, and the incoming
trains are just as crowded.
If the Santa Fe would put in a
daylight train between FL Paso
and Silver City to handle the To-
cal business it would not only
give its through passengers a
more comfortable service, but
would make local travel endur-
able and double the passenger
traffic on the line between FL
Paso and Silver City, besides do
ing away with the inconvenience
of laying over at RiHcon one
night in going from this city (El
Paso) to Silver City.
But the Santa Fe management
has refused to grant the petition
of its local patrons for a better
train service and our people will
be able to make that road feel
that they resent its treatment.
Every FL Pasoan is interested in
this matter. Ell Paso Times.

Some claim that the forest re-
serve policy is likely to prove a
serious hindrance to the develop
ment of the West. In Colorado
approximately one-quarter of the
area of the state has been with
drawn from settlement under
conditions which it is asserted
practically put a stop to develop
ment in all the intermountain
sections of the state, and the
same conditions prevail in other
western states.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies Have Poor Compilations

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. l had been

blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
i formerly had as fine a complex
lon as one could ask for.
When became convinced that cot.
Zee was the cause of my trouble,
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as made it we'll. ac-
cording to directions, l liked it very
much, and have since that time used
1t in place of coffee.
i am thankful to say l am not ner-

drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have fair complexion if she will
