Shall the People Ruler"

In last weeks Globe appeared an

article criticises the canvassing board

are not similar and the fact is also
that the vote of that township on

be dropped. But the albuquerque spirit
isn't Of the dropping kind. 1t is not the
Albuquerque way. Roy A. Stsmm took
hold Of the membership work last week
and yesterday evening he turned in his
list with eightyfour signature thereon
and forty men who want to go and will
it they can and il they can get into
the train. Of this forty it is absolutely
certain that far more than fourteen
will want to go. Mr.. Stamm had the as
sistance of strong committee finishing
up his.work yesterday afternoon. Presi-
dentsBrooks and Secretary McCannar of
the club, Simon Stern and several others
joined with him and the list was run up
from sixty-fve to eighty. six during the
afternoon. This settled the matterof
membership and last night the trans
portation committee ordered the train
for March 10th. the matter being in the
hands of District Agent w. R. Brown
Of the Santa Fe who is deeply interested
in the excursion and who will see that
every detail of the railroad end Of the
arrangement is looked after. Both Mr..
Brown and his assistant, Mr.. Garside,
will accompany the excursion. The
train as it now stands will consist Of a
baggage car, one standard Pullman of
twelve sections and two drawing rooms,
and two buffet Pullmans of twelve Sec

ton goods at 10 cents yard. Then as
wagons woald bs nesdel with which to
deliver oil these goods, thoy could bay,
he said, 5,000er so at 5000 apiese.
When the s; eaker had gone this far in
his argument the greater Number Of his
hearers were prepared to be told that
Chicago could pay the national debtwitb
her drink money.
Farwell insisted, however, that great
number of workingmen ought to have
better homes, so that 5000 comfortable
homes could be purchased also, with six
rooms and bath and all the modern con-
veniences, to cost about S. 900 each.
"And after doing all thip," he said
"there would be enough money left 10
pay the police department expense OF
IS ,36s 900, the fire departments So ,12s,-
900, and to give The health department a
round 100000, instead Of the 5000 zoo
t is now given"
"Does that use it all up?" cried some
ono in the back ofthe hall.
"Nearly all Of it," said Farwell, except
that we would sill have about $4,000, 900
left for the benefit OF the public school
fund, or to create and maintain additional
parks and pleasure grounds for the people.
And you could ispend all this not only
this year, but every year?"
Other comparisons which the speaker
did not make show, that the amount Of
money spent by Chicago for drink would
buy thirteen b,ttleships OF the Louisiana
class. 1t would pay the total manufsc.
turing wages Of Arizona, Nortk and South
Carolina, Oklahoma, North and South
Dakota and Oregon. 1t would pay NOR,
than half Of the national pension dis

Chicago, Feb. Ia Arthur Farwell, tenn
perance crusader, has been telling
Chicago how much money it spends
every year for drink, and what that
money would do il it were spent other
wise.
To beglu sih, he said they could buy
and give to the oof 100000 barrels of
flour, at $3.50 per barrel, follows this up
with $2,5OO, 900 worth of general grocer
les, and then buy 100000 quarts of milk
at 5 cents.
Farwells speecl, was delivered at Pal
mer park before large audience. There
is q prohibition movement in Chicago,
al elsewhere, and the saloon people
had claimed that the closing Of their
establishments would deprive thousands
Of men Of employment,
In case stoves were needed on which to
prepare these meals, Farwell said they
could also buy 20O,o 900 good stoves at
$40 each and then 500, 900 tons of coal at
So to burn 10 them.
Then, perhaps, because SEINE OF the
poor might need furnishings for their
houses, fs suggested 100000 worth of
wall paper, a half million yards Of carpet
at 81, and 100000 sets of.furniture at $50
a set
BY this time most of the audience
thought Farwell had come very near
spending all his whiskey money, but he
said that he had barely begun, because
the poor would be needing little cloth
ing, 50 that they had better purchase
400 900 suits of clothes at $40. 100000
overeoats at the same price, 100000 hats
at s, each, and like number oi pairs OF

Too Late.

What care for the pure white rose
Placed in my cold stiff hand,
What care for the words of praise
When cannot understand.
care not for flowers heaped
In wreaths upon my mound,
Icannot scent their fragrance sweet
When am meath the ground.
What good will deeds of honor do
Above my lifeless form,
When Ihave anchored in the vale,
Safe, sheltered from the storm.
Oh, give me my roses now,
Kind words Of love I crave,
Wait not till death has touched my brow
And am in the grave.
Veal in the lonely silent tomb
hope to find sweet rest,
Speak now the words with comfort
fraught,
And calm my troubled breast.
Wait not till death has bourne me hence,
Alas twill be to late.
For I'll not need your songs of praise
When pass beyond the gate.
