The Dyspeptic.

You mustn't drink coffee,
You mustn't take tea,
And milk is a substance
Where microbes make free.
You mustn't o'ersleep-
Yet take plenty of rest;
You may not eat meat
Nor the things you like best.
There's danger in bread
On account of the yeast,
And fruit makes a most
Undesirable feast.

With life's dreary grind
With naught in your stomach
And much on your mind?

Master Mechanic Finn talks Of Pioneer
Railroad days-Going Back
to old Home

Judge Charles L. Finn, the
first master mechanic the Santa
Fe had in Albuquerque and the
man who set up the first six To-
cOmotives owned by the old At
lantic & Pacific Railroad, left AL
buquerque this morning for his
old home at Columbus, Ohio,
with a view to remaining there
For the past number of years
Judge Finn has conducted a
small clothing store at Winslow,
Ariz., and as police judge meted
out justice to wrongdoers fthat
place. He sold his store recently
and last year refused to run for
justice of the peace any more, SO
finding himself entirely out ofem-
ployment, he decided to go back
to the Buckeye state.
Judge Finn was on of the best
known men of northern Arizona.
There is not an old time railroad
an the Santa Fe coast lines who
does not know him. The oldest
residents of Albuquerque will re-
member Charlie Finn as master
mechanic at the local shops. He
came here when the railroad was
built. Mrs. Finn was the first
American bride to come to Albu-
querque. When the A. & p built
shops at Coolidge, N. NJ, about
100 miles west of here, Master
Mechanic Finn had his office
there. That was over twenty
years ago. Very few people in
Albuquerque knew there ever
was such a place as Coolidge. 1t
burned one day and was never
rebuilt. A few old stacks near the
continental divide are all that is
left to mark the place. After fif-
teen years of railroading, Judge
Finn opened his little store at
Winslow. While here he and
Mrs. Finn were guests of her
two sisters, Mrs. j. L. Bell and
Mrs. S. K. White.-Alubquerque

Arizona People Welcome

Northern Arizona is expected
to send it's usual big delegations
to the Twenty Ninth New Mex
leo Fair and Resources Exposi-
tion at Albuquerque next Octo-
Der. Albuquerque has always re-
lied upon the thriving towns "a
long the Santa Fe in the north
part of the sister territory to aid
generously in making the annual
celebration a success and the city
stands ready to extend the heart
lest welcome on record to the
good people of Holbrook, Wins
low, Flagstaff and Williams and
intermediate towns.
Albuquerque will have show
for the Arizona people this year
that will positively make all pre-
vious efforts look futile. Aside
from the fact that a tremendous
ovation is being prepared for
President Taft on the day he
stops at the Fair, the programs
of sports and amusements is just
a little different from anything
previous and just a little more
exciting and entertaining.
The Northern Arizona people
should not miss the opportunity
of seeing the daily and nightly
flights during the fair of the
Strobel airship, the enormous
dirigible balloon, which for the
first time will make aScents in
the Southwest. This airship
holds the record for aerial navi-
cation in the dirigible balloon
class. The horse racing will be
the best ever seen on the Albu-
querque Track with between six
and seven thousand dollars in
purses; teams from all over Ari-
zOna, New Mexico and southern
Colorado will enter the big base
ball tournament; the Southwest
ern Marathon will be the first
endurance race to be run at a
New Mexico Fair; there will be a
long list of carnival attractions
and the biggest exposition of the
resources of the whole southwest
ever attempted.

Arizona

In the second session of the
37th congress of 1862, at the
time the bill creating the Terri
tory Of Arizona was pending,
John R. Watts, delagate to con-
gress from New Mexico, made a
speech in support of the bill and
closed his remarks with the fol-
lowing beautiful tribute to Ari-
zona: "An Italian sunset never
threw it's gentle rays over more
lovely valleys or Heaven-kissed
hills-valleys harmonious with
the music of a thousand spark
ling rills, mountains shining with
untold millions ofmineral wealth
wooing the hand of capital and
labor to possess and use it. The
virgin rays of the morning sun
first kiss the brow of it's lofty
mountains, and h e parting
beams of the setting sun linger
fondly around their sublime sum-
mits, unwilling to leave to dark
ness and to night such a beauty
and such a grandeur. If there be
a single thought which lights up
the of-times gloomy pathway of
the faithful legislator, it is the
sweet reflection that has been in
strumental in protecting the
rights of a distant, feeble and OPP
pressed people against the meri-
less barbarities of a powerful
and treacherous savagefoe. Let
it not be said of us, that while
we are ready to spend untold
millions of money and thousands
of lives to protect our own lives
and property, the appeal of this
distant people falls upon our

What Is a State Court, Amyu,ay?

That question is asked by Judge Fite in
one of his cards referring to the case in which
his court was raped.

liam Newman and Carter Tate, spit upon the

Pritchard and Grosscup do "Heavily armed
deputies" were waiting to take the next train
for Dade county on a mission of violence.
These were white men, armed and ready to
shoot white State officers in the interest of an
Atlanta negro!
l am awfully sorry those "heavily armed
deputies" were not invited by Judge Fite to
"come on" He ought to have summoned
every white man in Dade county, if neces-
sary, and had them ''heavily armed" to meet
those heavily armed" niggerites that were
waiting to take the next train

The Fatherhood of God

Many people appear to think that an adj
mission of the Fatherhood of God carries with
1t the concession that all men are brothers,
and therefore equal.
That is not the case. God is the Father of
all things, animate and inanimate-of the
beasts Of the field as we'll as the races of men.
The fact that you admit that God is the
Father of both the Ponca Indian and the
Australian Bushman does not commit YOU to
the proposition that you and the savages are
brothers, and consequently equals
The doctrine of the brotherhood of Man is
pernicious when it is held to mean that there
is a natural equality among the races.
There are five great human strains of
blood, and they rise above each other like the
steps to a ladder. Lowest is the black man;
highest is the white one.
Equality exists nowhere, for each of these
vast human groups radically differ
White people ought never to marry any
but white people. To cross the breed with
negroes, Chinese or Hindoos lowers the eau
casian level.
One of the greatest menaces to our future
is this false doctrine of brotherhood and
equality, taught by Socialists and Roman
clerlcs Wherever the papal authority has
been supreme-as in Central and South
America, in Cuba and Mexico-the people
have been mongrelized and debased
