ALL PRAISE FOR REAL BOOSTERS
BUT FACTS VS.. PEANUT POLITICS

The Citizen and the people inter-
ested in it have proven their loyalty
to the interests Of Albuquerque
through many years--long before the
present managers of the Journal ever
made their advent into New Mexico;
and none but the rankest newcomers
to Albuquerque need TO be told that
they are still ready TO do their utmost
to further the interests of the com
munity.
In order to do this II does not con-
ceive it to be necessary TO indulge in
wholesale abuse of any department
Of the territorial government. The
Citizen recognizes that the legislature
is a coordinate branch of the gov
ernment and Is entitled to respect
and decent treatment so much so as
the judiciary or the governor. The
Citizen knows very well that nothing
can be made by abusing the members
of the legislature. The passage of no
appropriation bill or other measure
can be secured without a majority at
least of the legislature No delegation
at the head Of which, or for the pro-
motion OF which, the Journal Is to be
sponsor can have very much effect
upon the people they have been

abusing In season and out of season
and whom they continue to abuse,
however well meaning the intentions
may be of the people who become a
party to the delegation, whether they
call themselves boosters" or any
thing else.
If such is the leadership of any
such delegation, it will have about as
much effect as the mob of women
now beseiging the house of COM
mons, according to the Associated
Press dispatches. The Citizen does
not question the motives of good
many enthusiastic boosters, nor has
1t done so. Nevertheless there are
some people behind this movement
whose motives are seriously open to
question. 1t will cetainly be charged
when any such delegation reaches
Santa Fe, and these people are I'm
evidence, that 1t is not for the pur-
pose of boosting Albuquerque alone
that the delegation Is visiting the
capital but for political effect and to
promote the special political views of
certain people.
The legislature Is now engaged In
the consideration and passage OF
some very much needed general leg

SOME PROCEEDINGS OF
YESTERDAYS TWO SESSIONS.

Santa Fe, Feb. 14.-If the bill in
troduced by President Spiess in the
council becomes law, district courts
IN New Mexico will have full power
TO deal with the removal of all county
officials who are derelict in their duty
or who merit removal for other rea-
sons. The bill-although not so in
tended-is in reality a companion
measure to another bill in the coun-
ell and one in the house, giving to the
county commissioners the power to
appoint the successors to all officials
in county offices removed in any
manner.
This bill which is known as coun-
Gil bill No. A, has apparently no OPP
position in the council and is not
likely to arouse any in the house un-
less it be on the part of Captain
"Littlefield" Ruppe, who still sits un-
easily on the band wagon, and his
democratic minority.
This bill is similar to q number
contemplated by the present assem-
bly, to place in the hands of the peo-
pie or as near thereto as possible
every act relating to home rule. 1t
provides that hereafter, county off,
GERS cannot be given "kick and told
TO go" in the words of one legislator
but that on the contrary such Off
cials, if charged with malfeasance can
secure a trial, such as is the right

Washington, Feb. 14.--Senasov
Knox made an address to the senate
today in support of Senator Smoot-s
title to a seat In the senate as rep-
resentative from Utah. He strongly
opposed the report of the committees
on privileges and elections. which
favors ousting Smoot. Knox insisted
that Smoot should not be expelled be-
cause of his Mormonism, as the Unit

no federal law against polygamy L.

Subject to the constitution, Knox
said, the states are left untrammeIed

TAX BILL YET ON TAPIS
Copy of SpieSS Bill and Some Side
Lights on the HumOr Of
the House.
Special to The Evening Citizen.


Santa Fe, N. M, Feb. 14.-Sargent
introduced in the council today a
lengthy bill providing for the taxation
of express companies by the territory,
and defining an express company.
The bill is in the hands of the rail-
road committee. 1t provides for a
board to consist of the territorial
auditor, attorney general and terri.
torial treasurer, to canvass the re-
turns to be made by the express COM
pany officials on the first Monday in
April annually Express company Of
ficials must submit their books and
statements, and answer all questions
pertaining to their business wnen re-
quired by the board. The bill bears
a punishment for false returns on ex-
press business of a fine of not more
than $4,000, or imprisonment for
three years, or both.
The council is now considering the
tax bill, which it will probably fin
ish before the end of the week
The bill introduced yesterday after
noon by Speiss, which has for its OBJ
ject the adjustment of proceedings
by quo warranto and to make all such
actions of a civil nature, has created
a lot of favorable sentiment. 1t is
conceded that the present quo war
ranto procedure is too severe and
should be abolished. The bill un-
doubtedly will pass the assembly
when it comes from the committee.

Bills VIII Pass Senate.

Special to The Evening Citizen.
Washington. ID. c., Feb. Ia The
bill for validating bond issues for the
insane asylum, military institute and
agricultural college, and the bill to
allow Taos county to fund her debt
at lower rate, both of which passed
the house yesterday, will be reported
favorably by the senate committee to-
morrow, and will probably pass the
senate on Monday.
The Citizen was in error as to
pension of SEA per month having been
granted to Mrs. Cynthia Lane, of Al
buquerque. Delegate Andrews intro
duced bill for this purpose on Jan
uary 26, but no action has been taken
on IT, nor is there likely to be any ac-
tion. This congress died March 4.
Thus there Is but short time left
and that will be taken up with the
large appropriation bills Nearly all
the committees have announced that
they will not report any more bills. =.

there did not seem to be as much
interest in the day as in former years.
Valentines of all kinds were sold i'm

were not by any means overburden-

left to shift for themselves; that the
ships crew crowded the boats with
out attempting to provide for the
passengers. and that Captain McVey
was the first to desert the ship.

boat may have been tae first in the
water, 1t was because he had a good
crew. but he claimed that he remain
ed by his ship until she went down

his BOAT until he had given orders to
the men to lower all the boats and
clear away the RATS. While his boat
in the water was fastened to the ship
by a rope, its running gear became
fouled and this was cut by the boat
swain, who saw that as the ship set
tied the boat would be drawn down
with it, The captain claimed he
called upon the passengers to jump
into his boat, which would hold
twenty-five, but in the darkness and
confusion no one needed his sum-
mons. He claims his boat was driven
from the ship by the wind

New York, Feb. 14.-Because of
the serious illness of Mrs. joseph r..
Bolton, wife of a Juror, there is some
rear that there will be a mistrial in
the Thaw case. Mrs. Bolton, who is
DO years old, is suffering from double
pneumonia and is now passing
through the crisis of the disease. Mrs.
Bolton passed a restless, sleepless
night and her attending physician
says she has no better than an even
chance of recovery.
The Thaw trial was In session only
few minutes this morning when
Information regarding the condition
OF Mrs. Bolton caused Justice Fitz-
gerald to order a recess until 9 O'Clock
this afternoon.
DIR. Evans was called to the stand
and his direct examination by Delmas
was resumed. He stated that during
the first three visits to Thaw he form
ed his opinion as to his mental con-
dition. This opinion was formed on
oral statements which are very es-
sential. Jerome said he would offer
no objection to the conversation with
Thaw during the first three visits, as
the cause why alienists formed the
opinion that the defendant was of un-
sound mind. Evans was about to re-
late the conversation when the recess
was Ordered
