AFTER THE TRUCE

TUST now we are living in COM
mercial peace with Germany UNI
- der the terms of an armed truce,
an extension of the temporary agree
ment which by its terms expired June
80, 1907. The Germans have been will
ing to allow President Roosevelt a
little more time in which to convince
the congress that unless it shall pro-
vide for some reasonable give and take
trade agreement with the empire the
tariff war will be renewed with. greater
vigor than ever and American products
cereals, meats, the star spangled hog,
of the common or barnyard variety, as
we'll as his f1ercer congener of the trust
family timed and manufactured goods
and all kinds of things exportable by
us-will be subjected to prohibitive tar
ifs that will carve our farmers and
stock raisers to the heart and even
make it difficult for manufacturing
monopolies to dump their surplus in
the faderland.
AS the immortal Grover used to say,
"It is a condition and not theory
that confronts u.s." In theory our
present tariff system might be as per-
feet as the rule of three and as ele-
waiting as the golden rule, but it one
Of it's beneficent results were to be to
shut out American farmers and cattle
men from European markets and close
the same to California fruit packers
and vineyardlsts il is probable that
any abstract beauties and virtues of
Dingleyism quickly would disappear in
a storm of protest against it's concrete
effects.
The late President Mckinley was
predetermined enough to see that il we
could avoid the condition now obtain
ing of having to pay duties often so
per cent in excess of the, tariffs levied
against competing export nations there
must be reciprocity, and his reciprocity

wv ELCOME, welcome, sweet October,
wv when the quail shall whistle shrill,
w when the coal man gets in action
with his pesky little bill; when the frost
and pumpkin poet sings the old familiar
strains, and the football gladiators scram-
BILE one another's brains.
JDoubly welcome, hallowed season,
When the wild goose travels space
When the hunter in the wildwood
Shoots the rabbit In the face,
When the last years hat made over
Shows up in the new fall stock
And the bug-fed turkey shudders
Every time he sees the block
Uncle Joe Cannon will buy another
thousand feet of lightning rod, buokwheat
cakes will renew their tug-of-war with
epson salts in the innards of man, and
the cost of living will take bird seye
view of the economic proposition.
The autumn nights inspiriting shall
grow a little longer, and the breath of
fall on cider sweet shall grow little
stronger. The husbandman shall sell his
hogs and think to prosper on it, but the
good housewife will take the dough and
buy winter bonnet.
County fairs will be in full blast. The
heavy fragrance of roasted peanuts will
decoy the cautious nickel from the pants
pocket of the loving swain. The toy bal
loon will drag the small boy around the
grounds. The man with the long awning
on his cap will sit on the tail of the
winged footed trotter and slap her around
the track with q barrel stave. The man
in red underwear will rise in balloon
hanging by his toe nails, and the family
that Roosevelt is enthusiastic about will
weave through the crowd tied together on
a long clothes line.

THE FORD CASE

IN IGHT of the jurymen in the Ford
case are said to have been for
- acquittal and four for conviction,
and that they were of these opinions
when they took the first ballot. 1t is
not fair to question the action of a
juryman who has heard all the evil
dence and feels the binding power of
an oath. but the people, in full accord
with the men who have ably conducted
the prosecution, feel there was suffi-
Gent proof to convict Ford of partner
ship in the bribery and that a second
trial will tell the story more emphat-
ically. Ruef could have helped the case
If he could be trusted, but the inner
workings of those who have millions to
expend TO ward off a prison sentence
doubtless have reached him in his con-
finement in some occult manner and.
true to his known conscienceless char
acter, he baked for the prosecution
and made a disagreement possible.
The Herald joins with all good citi-
zens everywhere in extending congratu-
lations to Messrs. Heney, Langdon ct
al, and urges swift policy to bring on
a new trial, and that they shall not
waver or turn back till every rascal
caught legally in the meshes of the law
shall have been put in prison. To this
end the people and honest press are be-
hind the prosecution and will uphold
them till the work is done and the law
vindicated. The case at bar is vitality
the business of California and all the
world beside. and as far as the will and
wishes of good men everywhere can
help, them the men of the prosecution
have them, and in great measure.

A CLAY GOD

nRESIDENT ROOSEVELT seems to
be guilty of indiscreet action in
a ordering the suspension of the
pilot of the steamboat Fred Hartweg
recently for alleged carelessness in
maneuvering for position near the
boat on which the president was pas
senger.
There are certain requirements of self
poise and dignity surrounding the pres
identia1 office, no less obligatory be-
cause not written into law, that should
have sent that telegram Qf it should be
sent at alD over the name of Col. Sears,
or some other member of the presidents
staff, and thus avoid the certain con-
clusion of the public that the telegram
was an exhibition of petty anger and
unworthy a man in Mr.. Roosevelt's
exalted station.
Much of the grandiose and raucous
in the presidents public utterances will
fall fiat on the ears of men who know
the virtue of patience and who must
deplore this boyish petulancy that chal-
lenged national attention because of
carelessness on the part of an employee
Pilot Nichols, the offending officer, and
Vice President Tice of the line in which
the boat runs both assert that not only
was no law or program invaded, but
that at no time was there even prob
ability of danger, and they are natur-
ally incensed at the drastic and hasty
action of the president.
In view of this absolute proof of the
mastery of President Roosevelt by vul-
gar anger in matter personal to him
self it is not difficult to understand the
contemplate order of the war depart
ment which recorded the retirement of
Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles in 100 words
and which ended thus, This soldier
will be allowed transportation to his
home" or words to that effect. The
order hurt President Roosevelt and Mr.,
Root, then secretary of war, far more
than it did Gen. Miles, and will now be
recalled because of the petty anger
which mastered the president on this
occasion under comment. 1t is also
of record that Admiral Schley was
harassed and Inundated in a similar
manner, and the people wondered that
after a public trial, eagerly sought by
this gallant man, such things could be;
but the wonder is changed to chagrin
and a certain sense of shame that a
man so exalted in rank and by his own
words so devoted to high and noble
purposes could stoop to petulancy I'M
worthy of a boy, and give to the whole
world the proof of his failing in such
dictatorial manner.
President Harrison wired the imme-
date discharge of a drunken official
who had insulted a bishop of the Epis-
copal church on train, and the people
applauded the act, but no man of any
party can conceive President Harrison
as sending a telegram to discharge any
man because of clearly personal rea-
sons; he would discharge such man
surely, but it would have been done in
a manner compatible with the dignity
and respect due his exalted Office.
Coming at the present time, when Mr..
Roosevelt is deluging the public ear
with moral platitudes and some very
questionable ethical views, it will cause
his admirers pain and humiliation to
be forced to the conclusion that their
political god is clay god after all.

The CONSERVATION of those solemn
diplomats when Quentin Roosevelt
skated in among them with big bull
snake wound around his arm and a

have been most amusing to the lad and

and seventeen other bullsnakes of
Wolfville fame.

THE NERVE OF DON
FRANCISCO YET
UN|MPA|REO
BRINGS SUIT AGAINST
ARMlJ0 FOR $4,000
President of Down and Out
Club Wants Pay for Work
His Successor Has Done as
County Treasurer.

Tomas HubbeIl former sheriff Of
Bernalillo county. and whose reputa-
ton as the terror OF bad men has
spread as far as Mexico city, has al
ways been thought to be entitled 90
the belt when il comes to pure. I'M
adulterated nerve of the distinctively
Hubbell type. Tomas even had Slavic
beat, and that is going some. The
most recent manifestation of the Hub
bell nerve up to yesterday was the
suit brought BY Tomas some time ago
against Sheriff Perfecto Armijo, ask
ing 10 Cow some $4,000, which
Mr.. Hubbell computed. was, on the
basis OF his own previous e~moluments,
what Mr.. Armijo had earned while
discharging the duties Of sheriff. The
incident and Mr.. Armijo's recon-
mendation that the fearless eX-sheriff
Ego to work" Is still fresh in the
public mind. And II Is a good thing
to keep G incidents green In the
taxpayers memory.
Tomas was, however, compelled to
surrender the belt-or at least, was
given a close run for It yesterday
when Francisco Hubbell. leader of
the old regime. whose official organ
was the Evening Citizen, and which
was turned down a year ago by the
biggest majority ever polled In the
county, brought a suit for some $l3, 900
against former County Treasurer Justo
Armijo. This $4,000 Is alleged to be
the fees n commission armed by
Mr.. Armiio during the discharge of
the duties of his office In Ig05-0G.
The suit is brought on the ground that
Mr.. Armijo held his office Illegally
during that time.
The suit Is styled Territory Of New
Mexico, on the relation of Frank A.
Hubbell, %relatOr, versus the board of
county commissioners of Bernalill0
county, The relator asks for an al
tentative writ Of mandamus against
the commissioners. requesting them
to show cause why a p~eremptory writ
should not be issued forcing them to
TAX proper legal steps to compel the
payment OF moneys alleged to nave
been illegally collected by Justo Ar
milo while "%usurping' the office Of
treasurer of the county. On the
ground of a supreme court decision
II Is alleged that Armijo held the Of
flee unlawfully upon appointment of
the governor after the deposition of
Mr.. Hubbell by the executive for NAL
feasance Ia office. Hubbell claims
fees and commissions from October. |
1905. TO January 1, 1907.
Mr.. Hubbell alleges that Mr.. Armijo |
on December 81, 1885, reported quar-
terly fees and commissions OF s4.-
1867 having been collected. March
81. 1896. &13,752.04 collected for the
quarter, fees and commissions

MIR. Hubbell thus seeks to recover
$lS.64997. 10 which he feels he has
a better claim than the man who did
the work. II is not stated whether

doughty ex-boss TO go to work. Will
