THAT an appointment OF a federal
officer in New Mexico should have any
significance in Ohio may appear
odd" remarked f. Il. Gessner OF that
state today.
But when the name of Creighton
Foraker went To the senate for IA
fourth term as United States marshal
there was some cogitation among ohio
republicans. The New Mexico mar
shall is a younger brother of former
Senator Foraker I'll ohio. and went
West tWenty-scVen years ago AZ. a lad
Of nineteen along with a younger
brother. They grew up in the brush,
so to SPEAK; raised sheep and incul-
| Gated real republicanism among the
incoming settlers. BY the time Me-
kinley was chosen president Creighton
Foraker was much in politics, and ar
rived here for the inauguration, load
| ed down with endorsements urging his
fitness for marshal.
The older brother. J. T., the sona-
tor, demurred when it was suggested
that he add his Endorsement, Saying
he did not wish to ask the appoint
mcnt of u brother at the very start OF
his senatorial career.
The New Mexican, without forget
ting the doctrine of brotherly affec-
ton, minated in words almost OF
scorn that he was not asking senu-
torial support from ohio. but had
enough influence at home. What was
more, he didn't think he should be
kept out OF a good thing because he
was brother of q senator. Mckinley
t-aL- npauxa.I md taIauSA1 at fha din
alton, and appointed the younger man
to the place he coveted. He was re-
appointed twice. and now comes Pres
ident Tart with another appointment.
The incident has caused talk
among politicians that it may result
IN o getting together of ohio republi-
cans for the coming state campaign.
Those who have the good of the party
at heart would be glad To see Senator
Foraker calling at the White House
The president is said to dislike the
cry that goes up from some republi-
cans against Foraker and his friends.
The reappointment of Marshal For
aker recalls a story about a meeting
with his brother, the senator, several
gears ago. After having gone to New
Mexico nothing had been heard OF him
by his family until one day, shortly
after senator Foraker had retired
the governorship or ohio
Creighton dropped into Cincinnati
without letting his relatives know OF
coming.
BY chance the New Mexican met his
brother on the street. He stopped the
governor, and after shaking
hands with him began a general CON
vcrsation. The latter is said to have
appeared annoyed at the time. and
then tor the first time Creighton re-
allied that his brother did not know
him.
You don't know me. them said
in surprise.
The governor looked intcntly. and
after studying for several minutes eX-
claimed:
"You are not Creighton? Wen
where did YOU come from ?"
While in Washington recently Mar
Foraker gave out the following |
interview: We have between 800, 0GO
and 100000 population now in New
Mexico, and the people will RAM with
A'Tt VI any NY ~ Wv NhHN+ L
II dare say that va have ~ many |
college graduates in proportion TO the
of our territory as any state IN

modern than some OF those ~ the east i
In al towns Of fair size We have j
street cars. electric lights. water I
paved streets. etc, ana wc
have some ct the finest hotels to be
found anywhere in the country. L
The impression thai seems to pre- |,
vail in some parts of the east that the
of New Mexico walk the streets
with pistols strapped TO their hips IS
FAR from correct our citizens are as |,
.ar--abiding as those OF Washington /,
