S. M. WHARTON. Editor.

The Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal condemns the action Of the Re-
publican Territorial Central Com
mittee in making regulations to
be observed at the Republican
primaries and county conventions.
The paper claims this was done in
order to shield the Hubbell faction
in Bernalillo county, and to keep
the genuine republicans there,
namely, those who rallied under
the Good Government League,
supported the fusion ticket, and
nine out Of ten Of them voted
against the Republican nominee
for delegate, Hon. w. H.. An.
drews, are the simon-pure, yard
wide and all-wool Republicans,
while what it denounces as the
Hubbell faction is composed OF the
rag-tag Of the Republican party OF
the county, and is ed and in the
pay Of boodlers and grafters.
A calm view OF the situation,
however, shows that what the
paper denounces as a very bad
and corrupt element, is the regular
Republican county organization,
which has been in existance many
years, and which was legally and
properly elected and so recognized
by the highest party authority,
namely, the Republican Territorial
Convention OF 1906. As to the
charges against the leaders Of the
so-called Hubbeli faction, it i:
very plain that there is quite Z

The fight in Bernalillo county
first started over the county Of
hcers, some OF which paid very IA
salaries, as for instance, the AS
SCISSORS office; the collectors Of
flee and the sherift's office. Th'
Hubbells and their friends wer,

friends wanted to get in. Their,
were also some ambitious Ameri
cans who desired office, but mos
OF them were Democrats. Thes

velvet, but our venerable CDnlcUh-
porary, the New Mexican Printing
Company, did the work at, it seems,
very fair rates. The ournal violent
ly ard bitterly opposed the Repub.
lican Territorial Legislative and
county tickets in 1906; in 1904 it
also opposed Delegate Andrews
who had been nominated over Ber-
nard s. Rodey. 1t is therefore
not very plain to the average Re-
publican where the claim OF the
Journal that it is a Republican
newspaper, and should be allowed
to dictate in Republican politics
comes in.
We cannot understand such rea-
soning, and such assumptions.
We believe that only LOYAL Repub-
lican newspapers should have a
voice in party management and
party councils. 1t would certainly
be very silly and certainly very
wrong we're the Republican lead
ers TO accept dictation and advice
from a hostile source. IT such
were 10 be the case, the battle is a
dubious equation. We do not
know who the Republican delegate
will be, but we will stand by the
expressed determination Of the
next Republican convention, and
will support the candidate Loyalty.
1t is certainly easily demonstra-
ted that under Republican admin
istrations the territory has greatly
prospered. 1t is also true, facts
and figures and accomplishments
prove it, that Mr.. Andrews is a
man Of great influence in the Ma
tional Capital, and during his
years OF service has achieved more
good things for our territory than
has any delegate ever heretofore,
no matter how long he served and
by what party he was sent to the
National Capital. The Albuquer-
que Journal is against the govern
ment, and why it assails Andrews
whenever there is a chance, is not
known TO the people, but there
must be something behind it. Evi.
IDENTITY Andrews has not pleased
the management Of the paper,
Why the paper loses no opportun'
ity 10 assail Mr.. Bursum, the
Chairman Of the Republican Contra
Committee, a leading citizen, sue
cessful Republican leader anc

PLAN ANOTHER DEBATE.
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM IS TO GO TO
MONTICELLO.
Cannon Falls Complains About Man
ner of introduction of Contest
With lie Sueurites.
From Thursdays Daily.

FROM 1hurSuay = DAILY.
The Mankato high schol debating team
will go to Monticello either February 20
or % to meet the champions of the
seventh congressional district. 1t was
supposed that the team would meet the
lie Sueur team in this city, but after the
debate there last week when the judges
awarded the palm to the lie Sueur team
over the Cannon Falls ateam, the latter
appealed to the debate board on the
ton to the debate. There was no OBJ
lection raised as to the decision of the
judges but the appeal was simply upon
the ground of alleged violation of the
rules in the presentation of the debate.
This has caused a delay of a week or ten
days, and therefore the partly completed
arrangements for having the debate i'm
this city have had to be abandoned.
The Mankato team has in view of the
above, been asked by the president Of
the debate board to meet the Montevideo
team. The latter defeated Granite Falls,
taking tn negative side of the question,
and Will be at disadvantage with the
Mankato team as far as experience and
side OF the question goes. for Mankato
mas been IN two contests to Montevideo'S
one, and will speak on the negative side
OF the question, which both teams have
spoken on each time. The Mankato team
has agreed to go, choosing the negative
side, of course. The Montevdeo team
is well trained, and the contest will be
an interesting one. The Montevideo team
is to pay the expenses of the Mankato
team and the judges
There is no team in the first or sixth
districts this year, which is why the
Mankato team has TO meet the seventh
district representatives.

BOY IN SAD PLIGHT
Arrives Here With Ears Frozen;
Without Funds Also.
Says He Is From Des Moines;
Cared for BY Police.
From Saturdays Daily.

ioii SATURDAY lIdlIy~
A sixteen year old boy named T
w. Gilbertson, whose home is in DeS
Moines, Iowa, arrived in tile city on
last nights Great Western passenger
train, without funds, and with both
ears badly frozen. He was cared for
at the city hall. He states that his
father is a coal miner at Des Moines,
and has work and means, but that six
months ago he, the son, concluded to
strike out and earn his own living.
He left home and worked in Des
Moines, until two weeks ago, when he
went to Minneapolis. He could not
find work there, and his funds gave
out, and he started to beat his way
home. He rode on freight trains over
the Great Western road as far as
Madison Lake, and gentleman there
paid his fare to Mankato last evening.
1t was at Hopkins that he froze his
ears, two or three days ago.
Chief Osten decided to telegraph to
the young mans father for money to-
buy ticket for home. The young
fellow seems to be candid youth and
said that his father would forward the
funds if notified, but he had not
wished to inform him OF his plight.

CIVIL SERVICE IN U. S.

In its twenty-fourth annual report,
just made public the United States
civil service commission places the
number of officers and employees of
the executive civil service, ON June
80, 1907, at approximately $4,000.
Of this number, l96,9lS were sub
iect to examination, an increase of
1900 as compared with the number
for the previous year. Of the 100000
persons not subject to examination,
STAT We're presidential appointees,
6,3l4 of whom were postmasters of
the first, second and third classes !;
53,345 were fourth class postmasters;
10000 were clerks at postoffices hav
ing no free delivery service; 22,704
were minor employees on the Isthmian
canal work, and 10000 were mere I'M
skilled laborers. During the year 1885,
lOS persons were examined, of whom
99,26l passed and 44,2SS were APP
pointed.
The natural growth of the service,
the report says, has been greatest
in the postal branches, there having
been an increase of 4,S73 employees
in postoffices, 1860 rural carriers and
$50 railway clerks.

EXAMINED AS TO HIS SANITY
John Kughertz Committed to Hospi-
tai at St. Peter.

From Saturdays Daily.
John Klughertz, Il son of Adam
Klughertz, was examined as to his
sanity in the probate court this after
noon, and was committed to the hos
pital for the insane at st. Peter be-
ing conveyed there by Sheriff Donahue
and Deputy Sheriff Eli Klughertz, his
uncle.
The case is particularly sad one.
John is twenty four years old, and has
always been bright and particularly
promising young man, who was the
pride of his parents. He was very
fond of music, and played well on a
stringed instrument. However, he has
not been strong since seven years
ago. when he suffered from hemor-
rhage of the lungs. Lately he has
devoted much of his spare time to
music, sitting up late at night and
losing sleep that he needed. Two or
three weeks ago his mind began to
fail, and he has grown steadily worse.
The loss of sleep and his thoughts
being constantly on his music seems
to have unseated his reason tenn
porarily and he has imagined that his
relatives and friends were bent on
his injury and has refused to take
medicine or to enter local hospital,
so it became necessary to commit
him. 1t is hoped that few weeks
of treatment and rest will completely
restore his mind.

ENCOURAGE THE FARMERS.

The editor of The Craftsman in the
current numbe proposes that the fed
eral government aid in bringing about
a much needed reform in the indus
trial system of the United States by
extending the work of the department
of commerce so as to assist small
farmers in developing home arts and
crafts and assist them in finding a
market for the products of such
craftsmanship.
) The editor takes pains to say that
in this appeal for government recogni-
ton of handicrafts allied with agri-
culture he is not considering the So
called "arts and crafts" movement as
it appeals to the leisure class. What
he has in mind is practically to en-
courage mechanical industries as a
means of correcting the evils of the
factory system, doing away with the
menace of the unemployed and reliev-
ing the congestion in our cities. He
refers to the official encouragement
of such crafts in Hungary, and to the
remarkable success resulting there
from.
He believes that President Roosevelt
has taken an important step in this
direction by his recommendation that
both state and national governments
should encourage the growth of insti-
tutional and social movements among
farmers. 1t is not contemplated that
this development of handworks in the
home would ever take the place of
the machine, but that it would open
the door of opportunity to many indi-
viduals starving for self-expression
apart from the routine of either farm
j or factory. The principal in producing
sensible rugs, furniture, pottery and
any of the things that enter into
the life of the home.

OPPOSE TWO WEEKS FAIR.


The lie Sueur News, like The Free
Press, is opposed to the two weeks
state fair scheme, which had its in
ception in the Twin Cities. The News
says:
"Just what the state fair manage
ment expects to accomplish by trying
to force two weeks fair in Minnesota
is hardly conceivable. They certainly
have not the interest of the farmers
at heart, for they can not expect them
to attend the fair with exhibits and
remain there for two weeks at very
busy time of year. Neither have they
the interest of the county fair at heart
for if the two weeks exhibition is in
sited upon and carried out it will kill
every county fair within range of
seventy five to 100 miles of the Twin
Cities. It strikes us it is time to
serve notice that the country will re-
sent any attempt to make the state
fair what it was charged with being,
in the legislature last winter, an adj
junct of the Twin Cities. If the COM
mercial bodies of the cities desire to
advertise themselves they are welcome
and have a right to do so, but it
should not be under the disguise OF a
two weeks state fair"
1t is up to the newspapers through
out the state to place the seal of
disapproval upon the proposition. Also
the people should enter a protest
against a two weeks fair.

MAKE DIRECTORS LIABLE
SUGGESTION MADE BY PRO-
FESSOR DEAN HOWELL.
PROPOSES Plan BY Which Depositors
Can BE Guaranteed That Their
Sums Will Be Safe.

Chicago, Feb. Personal liability
personal fortunes, for all losses to de-
positors, was proposed last night by
Professor Earl Dean Howard, of North
western University. He made the
statement in addressing a class in
finance under the auspices of the
American Institute of Banking.
''The proposal to guarantee the de-
posits in ational banks is sure to be-
come dangerously popular among the
great majority of people who are un-
able to reason out the ultimate conse-
ouences of any action" said Professor
Howard "Many overlook the fatal de-
namely, the inevitable stimulus
which it would give to speculative
banking.
SIN view of this insuperable obstacle
to a guarantee of deposits, why not
accomplish the desired result by adopt
inc the plan of deposit insurance by
the directors of each bank for itself?
The proposal is as follows:
sI.et the national bank act provide
that in the case of any bank failure
where any section of the act has been
violated or where any otherwise Illegal
or ultra wires transactions have been
made by the bank, or where the bank
at the time of failure has outstanding
loans to directors or to any enterprise
in which said directors are directors or
officers, on which any loss is suffered
by the bank, the directors shall be
personally liable for all losses to de-
positors.
"This plan combines. two long de-
sired objects, the security of the de-
positors and the responsibility of the
directors"
