Great Meeting of Walters.

New York, June 29.-The first ma
tional convention of hotel and restau-
rant walters ever held il the United
States, in session at the Terrace gard
en- during the week, adjourned today
and most of the delegates are leaving
for their homes. Most of the visitors
were those VINO had made waiting"
a life profession and a majority were
clever lilguists, able to speak two or
more languages fiuently. Part of the
deliberations of the convention were
carried on in French, with which prac
tically all the visitors were familiar.
The convention comprised the first
general meeting ever held of the Am
erican administration of the Geneva
union, an international organization
of walters with branches in Austria
Hungary, Belgium, Cape Colony, Egg
ypt. France, Great Britain, Germany,
Greece, Holland, Italy, Switzerland,
Sweden, Spain m Turkey.
The American administration was
founded only three years ago but now
has members in every large city of
the country. The principal gust of
honor at the meeting was Oscar Zlahn
of Dresden, Germany, general secreta-
ry of the international union. He is
a typical representative of an TX
ceedingly cosmopolitan organization.
In Europe the guild of walters is an
ancient and honorable one and the
American branch will attempt to bring
about this spirit among walters OF the
limited States

Hoke Smith Inauaurated.

Atlanta, Ga, June ga great pop,
ular demonstration in which thous-
ands of Georgians participated, mark
ed the inauguration today of Cover
nor Hoke Smith. Members of the
Hoke Smith club, committees from
both houses of the legislature and
scores of leading citizens escorted
the governor to the house of repre-
seltatives, where the oath of Office
was administered. He was hen es
corted to a platform outside, wle
he delivered his inaugural address.
His speech was notable because of
the announcement of definite reforms
which he will seek to accomplish as
chief executive of the state. Among
these are a two-cent passenger fare
rate; a 1000 mile interchangeable mile
age book for anyone who carries it; a
majority vote to elect candidates for
office, instead of a plurality. as at pre-

AN URGENT NEED FOR
TUBERCULOSIS SANITARIA

From Ell Paso Herald.
The cooperative tuberculosis SAM
tarium at Alamogordo deserves most
liberal support by FL Pasoans. The
sanitarium is largely supported by
private philanthropy, but an effort
will be made to afford patients a
chance to support themselves, and
those who are able to pay in money
or work will be expected to do SO. A
limited number of charity cases will
be received.
Ell Paso already has representatives
there. One of the principal buildings

toward completing the building. Ala
mogordo is as desirable as any place
in the Southwest as the site for a tu-
berculosis sanitarium.
1t is absurd to say, as some are
saying that the presence in the near
neighborhood of FL Paso. of a prop
erly conducted great ~sanitarium,
would be a menace to this city's
health. The exact contrary is true;
it would relieve the city of hundreds
of consumptives who have 40
place to go but to public hotels, room
ing houses, and private houses as
roomers or b%oarders, and no place for
recreation except the public parks.
Any large sanitarium project should
be encouraged by our people, in self

NEWS FOR THE COWBOY.

From Albuquerque Citizen.
1t is to laugh. No wonder a Karsas
editor referred to the writers for east
ern magazines as a flat chested set
of old p~elicans." A writer for the cur
rent Century Magazine now steps in
to the lime light with the statement
that the cowboys do not know how to
break wild horses. Kindness, this wri-
ter says, should be used intead of
bronco busting methods" Then he
adds: GO into any western ranch
mans corral and the superiority of
kindness ove the accepted bronco
busting methods can be demonstrate
ed. The young, inexperienced cowboy,
who considers it fua to rouse all the
antagonism in horse nature, rushes
into the corral and sets the horses
milling in fright By the time he has
roped and saddled his mount the
horse is ready to fight until strength
is exhausted. The cowboy may con-
quer the animal today, but tomorrow
another fight will result when the sad
die is put on. But let the experienced
horSeman step into the corral, with
out a rope and in a few minutes he
has slipped the bride on the mount
he wants, and there is no fight when
takes his seat In the saddle"
From the above there remains no
doubt that the writer in question is
a reformed bronco buster. He would
walk into the corral with a lot of
skinny, fiery eyed, range toughened
broncs, carrying a bride deity con-
cealed behind his back and a lump
of sugar in his hand. 1t doesn't mat
ter that the nearest the average cow
puncher comes to getting sugar on a
roundup is molasses with sand and
in proper proportion. This bronco
buster would use hump sugar. Then
while the poor confiding bronco ate
the sugar. which would probably be
the first he ever saw, the knight of
corral would surreptitiously slip
on the bride.
As the bronco raced around the
