{ Finances and Markets :
 

New York, June 9-Conspicuous movements in stocks were confined to a few issues. most of which have been prominent some time on account of their strength.
 The bear party which has been un-
 usually aggressive lately with indif- ferent success, made a few attempts to- day to depress prices. but the market
 displayed sufficient strength to meet
 these attacks easily.
 The chief points of strength in the market were Canadian Pacific which
 advanced 2% to s2.42A, a new high record: the Fries, Tennessee Copper
 and a number of specialties such as American Beet Sugar. Westinghouse
 Electric, Western Union and Sears
 Roebuck. All these issues gained a
 point or more. Erie common rose to the highest point reached in a year or more
 The sluggishness of stocks diverted speculative interest into the bond mar ket which exhibited greater relative ac- tivity. Large transactions occurred fin New York City 4As. Atchison convert ibles. Wabash and Pittsburg certifi- cates and local traction securities.

Current Comment
ExTRAvAoANcE OF THE TIMES.

EXTRAVAGANCE OF THE TIMES.
 We are living in an age of folly" says Irving Bacheller. More than haf the population is converting property into cash and cash into luXuries. Mortgaged property is buying the mo- tor cars, the piano players, the for eign tours It is paying for the vocal music and the modern languages and the fashionable accent People are 'extravag agant-mad,' and I daresay that half the motorists in this city can not really afford to ride in machines"
 James j. Hill gave apt expression to this view when he declared that the trouble with America is not so much the high cost of living as the cost of high living"
 This is particularly true of the vaguely defined groups of Americans who are said to constitute the mid de class" says the Boston Traveller. The extravaganza of the very rice need cause little alarm, for they can afford it; and the poor not only have little opportunity for eXtravagance, but are more disposed to save what they can from their earnings than any other class. It is hardly an eXagger- ation. however. to say that most of those who belong between the strata of wealth and poverty are living be- yond their means to an extent hardly equalled anywhere in the world
 The evil is democratic and natural, perhaps We all emulate the style of living of those just ahead of us in social station and income And the result is that We tend to spend more and more money for things that are not necessary for comfort, health or happiness. Imitation leads the man of small salary to buy an automobile. to join an expensive club. to patron ize an exclusive tailor. to show him self a good fellow on a scale that he cannot afford Imitation leads his wife to pay excessive prices for clothes, to take trips to Europe. to give costly course dinners when sim pie ones would do just ts we'll and to appear at the theater or opera oftener than is consistent with the state of the family budget.
 We must have everything first class is the motto of the average American. An it is a foolish motto. It gets him inot debt. it mortgages his home. it wears him out, it some times drives him to dishonesty-and it's all based on pretense that is ut terly un-American.
 Why pretend that you've got what you haven't? Why pretend that you can pay your way in a set where our income will not suffice to keep you? Why sacrifice your independence and self-respect for the fictitious regard that comes from lavish spending? Why not face the situation frankly. and live simply and sanely? only fin that way can you save money and attain real independence. And in that way, too, you are more likely to find the real happiness which too often eludes those who seek it in social recognition. showy living and costly diversion.

'HOENLX. ARIZONA, JUNE 10. 1911
Our Catholic President.

Tn the well deserved and admirably worded tribute paid to Cardinal Gib- bons by President Taft at the cele- bration of the good cardinals twenty fifth anniversary, the president said:
 Tn spite of the burden and respon- sibility of his high position in the church, he has taken part in the many great movements for the betterment Of mankind. and has shown himself not only a good Catholic in the church sense. but he has been broad ly catholic in the secular sense of that word, so that the affection felt for him by his coreligionists has spread 10 all denominations and to all the people who are quick to perceive a disinterested friend"
 The presidents truthful descrip- ton of Cardinal Gibbons as broadly catholic,' applies aptly to MT Taft himself. for the president is one of the most broadly catholic citizens We have. In his esteem of good men he knows no creeds. To him the Catholic, the Jew and the Protestant look alike
 Twice within the past few weeks Mir. Taft has had occasion to rebuke bigoted people who had manifested a prejudice against Jews. Referring to the action of some snobs in ob- jecting to the admission of Jews to membership in a club. Mir. Taft de- nOunced the snObs as unworthy to unlace the shoes of the men they had rejected. And to a colonel of the regular army who objected to the granting of a commission as lieuten- ant to an applicant because he was Jew, the president administered jolt from which the said colonel no doubt still feels dizzy
 And in being broadly catholic" both Cardinal Gibbons and Presi- dent Taft show themselves typical Americans

FINDING ONES WAY.

There are city people born. and coun- try people born, and there are adven-
 turesome spirits who would call all places home. Let a man find his own
 way of life and let him live it. says the
 Detroit News. Surely life were some
 thing of a travesty did a man not
 carry some clue as to where he ought
 to live and what he ought to do. The
 wisest men hold that the clue is here,
 and that we miss it by trying to fol-
 low others clues. The needle on our lifes compass is deflected from its true
 north by the magnetism Of cur vain
 imaginings that another's lot can pos sibly be ours. Eugene Blizzard may learn in time that an automobile is not happiness, though happiness may use an automobile. He may find that mo- notony is neither in city nor country
 but in the man. He may learn, too
 that you can bring an automobile to the farm, but not always a farm to the automobile. He may learn as well that there were two unhappy boys on the road that day-one on the fence and one in the automobile, and that each was unhappy because he envied the other his lot. But what shall we say to both? There is nothing to be said except the age-Old injunction. Look for the gleam within, and follow that, to the city or country. to home life or a wanderers career-fOllow your gleam. But of the many it may be said as the ancient wise man said to the youth who consulted him about mar riage: whichever course you take you will regret And there are elements of discontent that are supremely noble just as there are clements of content
 ment that are ignoble

Mexico Profits From Experience

One of the new political parties in Mexico in presenting its platform to the country laid emphasis on this plank:
 Tt will do all in its power to es- tablish an irremovable judiciary as the best guarantee of judicial inde- pendence and the most effective means of establishing and main taining the peace of the republic"
 We have a personal letter from one of the most esteemed and keen witted business men in the territory "a gentleman who is never in poli- tics" and who sticks so closely to his business that he is seldom seen outside of his home town; a citizen, nevertheless, who while making a finds the time to keep well informed of events the world over-and he makes this reference to the Mexican platform from which we have quoted:
 We are breaking our necks to get hold of the recall of the judiciary It seems that the Mexicans have had this particular bear by the tail and are now anxious to let go. The Mexican judiciary has been subject to the recall-perhaps it would be better to say the axe. It seems that a large portion of the MeXicans now doubt the independence of the judi ciary under the conditions that ob- tained. and that they are pledging themselves against recall of the judges as an efficacious means of establishing peace in the country. It is a coincidence to find the Mexi- cans trying to let go of the hot end of a poker and Arizona struggling to get hold of it"
 Our friend has so happily hit off the situation that We cannot forbear making this quotation from a letter which was not intended for publica- ton.
 Mexico has learned her lesson. Arizona. it seems. has yet to learn hers.

Senator Bailey told a late meet

Senator Bailey told a late meet ing of confederate veterans that the south had a right to secede. If the distinguished Texan nad only had the fore;hought to be born early enough to tell the south that fifty years ago the result of the war be- tween the states might have been different. The south thought it had the right to secede and fought nobly in defense of that right, but it could have fought with a still better heart if it could have had such an as
 surance of that right as Senator Bailey offers at this belated day.

There is a loud demand in Nash vile, Tenn, for better morals. The Tennesseean daily prints letters from indignant citizens complaining Ot the failure to enforce the state pro- hibition laws.

was organized and the bitches and
reservoirs constructed.
w. II. Byrum said it was the
most important subject before the
people of the valley to-day. That
it should receive every assistance
and encouragement, and that the
work should be done at once.
Nothing could possibly be gained
by delay.
F. w. Swanson said the citi-
zens of Alamosa could better af'
ford to give ten thousand dollars
toward the enterprise than two
thousand to a sugar factory. The
successful carrying out of the
proposed idea meant not only a
sugar factory but many other
equally important industrial en-
terprises for Alamosa.
There were a number of other
speakers, all boosting the propo-
sition and manifesting the great
est interest in its early consumma-
ton. After exhaustive discussion
of the subject the conclusion was
unanimously reached that the
improvements proposed consti-
tute the most vital question that
has ever been presented in the
history Of the San Luis Valley;
that it means the permanent re-
clamation of the lands, absolutely
freeing them from alkali; that
it means the development of hun
drcds of second feet of seepaye
water, which will be the property
of the farmers of the district t-wa
ter, which now after destroying
the fertility of the soil, is largely
lost through evaporation; that
this water, through the seepage
bitches proposed and their later
ais leading to the lower lying
lands, will furnish a constant
supply for irrigation at all sea-
sons of the year, and that, too,
with its most abundant supply
during the times of irrigation and
when the water is absolutely nee
essary; that it means reservoir
water early in the spring and late
in the fall; that it means plen-
ty Of water ut all seasons of the
year and each and every year :
that it means every acre of the
land in the district will be made
productive that if we place the
production at the low figure OF
twenty dollars per acre per an
mum, it means an increased rev.
enue for the district of two mil
lion, six hundred thousand dol
lars, or about eighty per cent.
annually more than the entire
cost of construction.
Is it any wonder that our most
substantial business men should
give this enterprise their united
and unstinted supporta
Let the good work go on. We
are proud of the interest we
have taken in the matter, and we
expect to point with increasing
pride as one new development
and one new industry is added
after another, to our fair
city-the direct result of having
assisted in the promotion of this
project, which will make train
loads of food products grow to-
morrow where nothing grows
to-day.
