highways of a community are a cry
reliable index to it's general coadi-
ton and prosperity. Well built and
commodious. roads throughout this
territory would not only invite a lar
ger influx of substantial agricultural
people and business men, but would
encourage and greatly assist our pres
ent population in their effort to i'm
prove their homes and build up the
territory.
A number of public spirited citizens
of New Mexico, desiring to advance
and stimulate the good roads move
ment, ave requested the governor
of the territory to call a good roads
convention, and in compliance with
said request, /, George Curry, COVER
nor of the territory of New Mexico,
do hereby call a good roads conven-
ton to meet in the city of Albuquer-
que, New Mexico, at convention hall,
on October 5th, 1908, at 10 o'clock
a. M, for the purpose of discussing
ways and means whereby a system of

I hereby authorize and request
that delegates to said convention be
appointed as follows:
By the county commissioners of
each county, five delegates.
BY the mayor Of each city in the

BY each commercial club in New
Mexico, two delegates.
All good roads associations in the

a Democratic house Of representa-
tives, the Great Bull" would be
worse than useless at Washington.
He was unable to secure statehood in
four years, and his predecessors were
also unsuccessful. although the coun-.
try was in the hands of their party,
the presidency, the house and the
senate all being Republican. What
could he do with a Democratic pres
ident and a Democratic house? On
the other hand, with Larrazolo as
delegate and a president and house
OF representatives thoroughly in sym.
pathy with him, statehood would
come as a matter of ourse almost
Immediately.
Should Taft and a Republican
house of representatives be elected,
we have the word of the chairman
of the senate committee on terrific
ries that New Mexico will not be
granted statehood so long as such a
man as Andrews is sent by the people
of New Mexico to represent them in
congress. Even if the Republican
house should pass a statehood bill it
would be defeated in the senate. In
other words the only hope of state
hood for New Mexico is in the cleo
ton of a Democratic president and
the success of the Democratic party
in the congressional elections. AS
this is almost assured, New Mexico
should do her part by electing Lar
razolo.

other prisoners, as by a cankering
dislike of Thaw.
1t is said to be impossible to feel
any sympathy for the young man,
once having met him. He grew up
with the idea that his money exalted
him above the ordinary run of hui
man beings, and he regards others
as inferior beings, graciously provid-
ed by Providence to act as his ser
wants. He doesn't know how to ask
a favor, but is always issuing com.
mands. No Abyssinian potentate
was ever more arrogant. In jai1s and
asylums he treats the wardens and
keepers as a feudal lord might have
treated his vassals, and they natural
ly do not take kindly to it.
The superintendent of the Mattea-
wan asylum for the criminal insane
is quoted as expressing the heartfelt
hope that Thaw would neve again
darken the doors of that institution.
| And so, whether he Is insane or not,
the slayer of White occupies a posi-
ton unique, as being the most disa-
greeable man in the world; so disa-
greeable that he Is considered a bore
in jails and asylums, where the worst
is expected. In this capacity he is
worth studying, but the student will
find it comfortable to make his re-
searches at long range.

eloquent plea in favor of the removal
of Thaw, pointing out that he was a
nuisance. He occupies an entire cor
ridor, WITH the contiguous cells; his
apartments look like the private of

his meals sem in from the hotels,
and he has everything that contrib
utes to human happiness, except his
liberty. Naturally, the other prison
ers, who have non of the comforts
of home, and who have to eat what
ever is shoveled into them, are mutt

ances were dwelt upon by the state
warden, he of the wrought iron bar,
but it was decided that Thaw shall
remain where he is, until the tangle
of litigation in which he is involved
is Strengthened Out.
There must be something extraor-

he has a wonderful faculty for max

always the same; ~jailers, prisoners,

soon as they have anything to do with
him. He is a universal nuisance, and
the effort of the state warden to
have him removed from the Jail was
probably inspired, not SO much by
consideration for the welfare of the

leap from a small village into a city
of about 5000 people in about a PEE

the lack of facilities to properly care

out. During all that time all let

amount of them-haye had to be

citizens of the city by reason of the
