Once upon time there was Republican Conven,

sailed by few upstarts in his party but he gathered
his forces together and hayed the lining of his
enemies, and made them climb on his band wagon or
go bury themselves forever. There was one little
fellow, Walter Brown, from back county that was
obscure, but wanted recognition. Big Joe Foraker
discovered the fellow and brought him forN ard for

like tne 1laSheS or moving
picture show, the enactments of
Ohio's politician rumpus have
been flashed before the people
during the past week.
Now there is the warm blooded
promise of harmony, with the get
together talk, and every hope for
peace. But before the mind can
moro than grasp the fash, there
appears a war-cIoud, and the
thunder of battle seems to roar in
the ears, and then the dove of
peace hovers DER us once more.
The past week has indeed been
one of rapid changes, and certain
ly one of political unrest. From
governor down there is not man
in the state who can anticipate
the next move. With the pre-
tense of playing for harmony,
every shuttle of the cards has
brought in the deal stronger
emotional ferocity and greater de-
termination.
Take the events of the past 10
days for example There was the
promise of peace conference, with
Foraker eliminating himself from
the race for the presidency. Just
as the political warriors were tun-
ing their instruments to the har-
mony ode, the Taft people de-
clared that it was dodge to have
Foraker indorsed for senator.
Then the governor chilled on the
proposition, and Foraker, learning
this, defantly issued his state
ment of a week ago, renewing the
warfare for the presidential dele
cation and calling his followers
into line for a bitter contest.
Next Commissioner Vorys set
about bringing harmony into the
stare. He arranged a series Of
between the governor
and the most prominent elective
state officials These all wanted
harmony. Finally statement
was agreed upon and given out
Friday night. 1t commits those
who were present TO support
Secretary Taft at the conferences

Simultaneously Walter Brown,
chairman of the state central com
nittee, took his pen in hand,

Browns pen was dipped in some,
hing strong, for the words which

They charged the senator with

'ressions, either.

Electric Light Poles.

The Columbus Press (demccrat) some time ago
got to complaining that about 600 electric light
poles had been lost to the city, worth So 600 That
the books showed certain number of poles that had
been paid for but in counting the poles of the city
the count 600 short of the bills Someone had
stolen the poles, the first impression Some of
the Republicans papers of that city got to twtting
the Press for it's pole troubles but that paper kept
right on looking for the poles and they have solved
the problem and unearthed another hagrant steal in
that city One Wilcox, secretary of board of public
affairs, and Contractor Moore had a little scheme of
their own. Moore would sell Wilcox electric light
poles, and bill N fifty more than were delivered and
Wilcox o. X. ed the bill and it went through then
he and Moore would divide the graft on the bill of
about $4,000 on the order. This went along for
years until somebody tipped the Press Post man off
that the number of poles purchased did not tally
with the number on hand. So there it goes two
more prominent citizens of Columbus looking the
pententary in the face just for a little swag. It
pays, after all, to be honest.

Saturday Senator Foraker gave
ocular demonstration of this fact
in the statement which he gave to
the press. He declares that he
will not submit to any boss, big or
little, and that he feels that Brown
is about the worst of the type of
bosses. He says the state officials
have a right to their personal pre-
ference, but that an expression
from them can hardly be expected
to do away with the necessity of
state convention.
This fine bit of sarcasm is es-
pecially pleasing to the friends of
the senator, where the feeling is
growing that after all, whenever
a movement for harmony is pro
posed the plan adopted is to slap
Foraker in the face, and hit Dick
over the knuckles. This is what
the friends of the two senators
say, and they declare that in the
future, they themselves will take
part in the slapping and knuckle
rapping,

up of the relative strength of Taft
and Foraker in the state.
The Forak kor men make the
strong claim that the fact OF the
city organizations in the state be-
ing in the Taft combination is
helpful to the cause of Foraker.
Governor Harris will not take
active part in the fight on in the
state for control of the delegation
to the national convention. He
made his statement Friday night,
and 1T WAS an expression of his
plans for harmony. ii is not his

Contractor ReeS on Ground
With Twenty Men and One
Hundred Teams.
BUILDINGS WILL COST
FULLY $4,000
II Will Be September Before Con-
StruCtion Is Completed--Will
Employ 800 Men.

The work of erecting the new tie
picking plant, south of the city linn
its and adjoining the stock yards was
begun yesterday morning, when
twenty teams and a hundred men
were put to work grading the land
given to the Santa company by the
city. The work of constructing the
new plant will be under the supervis-
ion of G. F. Rees, a railroad contrac-
tor of Topeka, Kan. Mr.. Rees ar
rived in Albuquerque Monday morn
ing.
In talking about the new plant, the
work and the number of men to be
employed, Mr.. Rees said:
The new plant will be built ac-
cording TO the plans of the plant now
in operation at Summerville, Texas
which cost $150,000 The Albuquer-
que plant will cost similar sum, and
tt Will BE Sept ;nber before 1t is COM
pleted. About one hundred men will
be employed to erect the buildings,
and after that 1t Will require 800 to
keep it in operation.
Besides treating the ties used on
the New Mexico, Winslow and Rio
Grande divisions, all timber used for
bridges and other work on these di-
visions will be treated here. A tie or
a piece Of timber which has gone
through the process of picking will
last indefinitely. The eastern rail-
roads have used the treated ties sue
cessfully for years, and now the
western roads are following suit. To
date the Santa Fe is the first of the
western roads to erect its own
plants"
During the last month quite a
number of prominent Santa Fe Of
ficials have spent some time looking
over the ground and making sugges-
tions. Among them were f. o.
Faulkner, superintendent of the tie
and timber department, with head
quarters at Topeka; General Purchas-
ing Agent Hodges, of Topeka; Chief
Engineer Storey, of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn of Chicago; Chief Engineer Nor
ris, of the A, II. & S. F., at Topeka,
and Right of Way Commissioner
Bartlett.
Along its right of way in southern
California the Santa Fe has scores of
men busy planting eucalyptus trees,
which are to be treated at the local tie
plant and the plant near Los Angeles
when 1t is completed.
During the last few weeks quite a
number of local business men have
gone over the site of the tie plant
and all were favorably impressed at
the plans of the railroad officials.
The site includes about seventy-five
acres of land and was donated to the
company by the business men of AL
buquerque.

part he played in the affairs of the
nation in the uneasy days that follow
ed the war of the rebellion.
In the war of the rebellion Mr..
Ross served as a major of volunteers
and gained fame as a soldier, as he
afterward gained fame as a states
man. The life of ex-senator Ross
was one of struggle and difficulty, but
he was never crushed by defeat.
He pursued his career according to
the dictates of his conscience and his
life is a shining example of indiyid-
ualism. Always arrayed against the
forces of trickery and corruption in
politics, against impurity and hypoc-
risy in private life, he was of the
stuff from which great nations are
reared and made permanent
Said Pitt Ross, the son of the sem
ator: my father has been ailing for
a week, but Sunday night he was
suddenly taken very much worse and
when DR.. Wylder was called it was
learned that he was stricken with
pneumonia. We knew his case was
very serious from the start on ac-
count of his age"
No arrangements for the funeral
have as yet been considered, and an
nouncements will be made later.
Senator Ross leaves two children in
TINS CIty-1lll hoss anu MIs. w. IL
Cobb, the wife of the photographer
at 210 West Gold ayenue-to mourn
for him, and three other children who
reside in Kansas. He was the grand
father of twenty-five grandchildren.
A vast number of friends and ac-
quaintances, not only in the city of
Albuquerque and the territory Of New
Mexico, but throughout the United
States, will be grieved to learn of
Senator Ross death. Coming to New
Mexico from Kansas IN the pioneer
days of the territory. he became a
power here, as he was a power in
Kansas and in the United States SEN

times misunderstood, he was invar-
iably respected for his tenachy OF

MINISTER KUR|NO DENIES
THAT JAPS ARE SORE
The MikddO Would Gladly Nego-

Paris, May S.-M. Kurino, the Jap
anese minister, in an interview here
today, is quoted as making the i'm
portant statement that a series of
treaties have been made between
Great Britain, France, Russia and
Japan, guaranteeing a territorial
status quo in the far east, which is
implied as an agreement to prevent
other countries from acquiring terri
tory there.
Kurino denied that Franco-Jap-
anese intent was in any way aimed at
the United States, adding that Japan,
in spite of the San Francisco Incl
dent, has always been most sympa-
thetic to the United States because
she was the first of all the countries
to treat with japanese people on a
footing of equality"
If Japan could obtain any advant-
ages from an understanding with the
United States, it is entirely probable
that the government at Toxic would
not hesitate to negotiate with Wash
ington. --,... -......
The Japanese minister then said
that Germany had no possessions in
the far east, the province of Kio
Shou being simply leased Chinese
ground, and a treaty with her SINH
lar to the one between Japan and
France, therefore. would be useless.

able that New Mexico granite will
be used in the construction of the
federal building. Several Albuquer-
que business men are interested in
mining the granite, which is found
near this city.
"I am assured that work on the
building will be commenced early this
fall, and barring accidents, It will be
ready for occupancy by next spring.
