Albuquerque Advertiser (Dem.)
The Organic Act provides that all
Territorial officials, acting for the
entire Territory, shall be appointed
by the Governor, and this little pro-
vision is now standing as a protection
to Mr.. Hagerman. Without it he
would have no appointments to
make.
This provision will undoubtedly Gp-
ply to the office of public printer. and
if the recommendation of the Cover
nor for the adjustment of the office
is not acted upon he will be able to
name a man of his own choice.
1t has been suggested that the
Council will refuse to confirm. This
is probably true, but will not affect
the final disposition of the office, as
the Governor will wait until the leg
islature adjourns and make what is
called a recess appointment.
So far as the Territorial offices are
concerned. being those of auditor,
treasurer. coal oil inspector. travel
ing auditor. game warden and cae va

different Territorial institutions, the
Governor appears to have them safe

Grass is the forgiveness of nature

THE TELEPHONE IN AMERICA.

Affairs in This Country.
(By Frederic ]. Kaskin.)

lby j.
When Americas clock stops, Anne
RIGA goes to the telephone and asks
Central" what time it is. When Am
erica is i'll, America goes to the tele-
phone and asks the doctor what to
do about it. When America mas unex-
pected company to dinner, America
goes to the telephone and implores
he o C to come to the rescue. and
When America is lonely America goes
to the telephone and visits with the
leighbors. Some enterprising Stats
tician has made the calculation that
there are enough telephone wires in
the United States to loop the earth
and the moor in a skeil of twenty
strands and make a net big enough to
catch a comet in.
When the telephone was first in
vented it was considered that city
people would be the first to benefit by
facilities but country jewellers do
things with it that city residents know
not of. In New York it costs a dime
to talk over the wire, and requires sew
eral minutes to get a connection.
There, as in other large cities, the
phone is used mainly for business pur
poses, or to make engagements. In
the country it costs as little as a dol
lar a month to have a telephone with
unlimited service, and so it has come
to pass that the party line" is in
deed an institution. When Caleb rings
up Mehitabel in the northern part of
the county to talk over the quilting
bee of next week, they are both uncom
mon wary as to the nature of their
remarks, in the full knowledge that
the entire Jenkins family of five is lis
tening to every word they r saying.
