THE AMU'Ql ETlQrE CITIZEX IS: Ttie lend Imr Republican dally and weekly newspaper of the Southwest. The advocate of Republican principles and the "Square Deal." THE AI.RVQl-ERQl-E CITIZEN HAS: The finest equipped Job department tn New Mexico. Tiie latrat reports by Associated Press and Auxiliary News Service. "ve get Tin: news first.' D .vcU Row The papers of the Pecos valley are Just now engaged In a lively little row. In fart, they have been saying mean things about each other for some time. The Citizen Is not fully enough informed upon the merits of the case one way or another to Ride with this, that or the other, but It can Judge to tome extent at least by previous experience. The Roswell Record, for Instance, Is continually hammering at other papers in the valley and generally demonstrating that It would play the hog If given hnlf a chance. Knowing the Record for a rabid sort of a publication which gets its pointers politically and otherwise from some rather peculiar quarters. The Citizen does not blame the little Pecos Valley News for ruffling up its fur and Ftanding pat. The News says it has been compelled to fight in the past and that it in tends to continue to fight Just as long as fighting is necessary. The News stands out strong for its home town and home country and It ays it does not intend to recede one inch from its position until Roswell and Carlsbad agree to shake hands with Artesla, and quit with the honors even. The whole world loves a game fighter and the News Is certainly putting up a game fight. About the ability of that portion of New Mexico which wants to become Artesla county, to support itself, The Citizen can not say. A bill to create Artesla county was lost in the shuffle during the last legislature, but Editor Newkirk, of the News, says the bill Is not "tabled in definitely" so far as Artesla Is concerned and never will be. The Citizen does not like to see weak and struggling districts changed .into counties because they should not cut loose from the parent counties un til they are fully self supporting. That needs no argument.-, At the same time If Artesla district, as her people claim, can support herself, then the counties of Chaves and Eddy ought to give her a fair show. At least the few papers that are saying mean things, ought to be more considerate. ' As above stated The Citizen Is not fully enough Informed as to the merits Jn the case one way or another, to express a decided opinion upon the matter of Artesla county, but The Citizen can not help but openly express its ad miration for the hearty way the News champions its cause and refuses to be sat upon by tfe neighborhood papers. Harmony is a mighty good thing In the churches, parties, newspapers aund among human beings generally. At the same time when harmony can not be had except by absolute and humiliating surrender. The Citizen does not blame the News for planting Its banner and hurling down the gaunlet. Some of the spirit displayed by the News Is voiced in the following edi torial, which was called forth by a recent editorial in the Roswell Record: "It is all right to talk harmony among the Fecos valley papoj-a, nd we for one would Rke nothing better, but if Roswell and Carlsbad think that they can persuade us to drop Artesla county in the Interests of such aforesaid har mony, they are barking up the wrong tree. "We have been kicked and cuffed first on one side and then on the other. We have ben sat down on and then like truth we rise eternal. We asked for a bridge and it was promised ns and then both Carlsbad papers went against It and the proposition was voted down by Carlsbad. We asked one tier of townships from Chaves county and Instead of a civil answere we were told by one of the bosses that we should not have 'a d m foot.' "In return for this we are to drop the only thing that promises us relief and work for 'harmony.' If we are to have harmony it will be as a county seat and no other way. Artesla has been doing her share toward building up the valley and she will continue to do so, es one Item, Is there another town in the entire Pecos valley that Is maintaining an exhibit at Amarillo? Artesla Is. Artesla asks only her rights. She will get them and she will play second fiddle to none." ABOUT TOWN Of all the words in the English language, the word "but" is probably capable of the most evil, says the Washington Herald. It Is a mean, sneak ing, cowardly word, lending itself to detraction and Inferential slander. The man who uses it commits himself to nothing; he has uttered no untruths, apoken no evil, formulated no charges, but ! Every one knows how the "but" game works. A certain type of woman is very adept at it. "Yes, I think Mrs. Blank is Buch a charming woman; so pretty and always so well dressed, and her home, why, it's simply beautiful, but " and there It stops. All the praise that went before is thrown in only to lend additional force to the beastly "but." Com!ng thus at the end of the sentence, followed by a ponderous silence and often accompanied by a mean little tentative smile, It is more damnatory of reputation and character than any outspoken slander would be. "Jim'a a valuable man at the office, isn't he?" "Jim? Well, I should say so. He does as much work as 'most any two men down there; he doesn't drink and he's always on the Job, but " That's all. As soon as the knell of the "but" sounds yon know that "Jim" Is a dead one. The worst of it is that so prone are we to Judge ill of our fellow-man that that signifi cant "but" leaves It to ourselves to figure out Just what the delinquency is. If the man Is honest, patient, hard-working, kindly, generous. It would seem that there is not much room left for large vices; but . And there you are! That "but" implies something wrong, and the next time you look into the smiling eyes of your friend that little word of three letters will ring in your ears ana you can t help wondering to save your life what the particular skele ton in his closet may be. Give a dog a bad name and you might as well hang him offhand. Use that word "but" Just once carelessly against a friend ana you have done much to wound him in a vital spot. It is awful to con template the ill that "but" can da. There Is, In reality, only one location In which the word is used with absolutely good Intent, and in considering the word at all it is well to remember this: "Now abldeth faith, hope, and cnaniy, mese tnree; Dut the greatest of thefce is charity." Earnest A. Davis, of the local Pull man oIpe, left last night for a pleas ure trip to Los Angeles. Mr. ana Mrs. Bet Baker are spending their honeymoon at the Valley Ranch on the I'ecos. Simon Hlbo, of the Isiho Mercnn tile company of dr.iM and Laguua, .. AI., Is visiting in San r rnricisco. The local encampment of Odd Fel' lows will hold a regular meeting to night at their hall. Work in the royal purple and refreshments. A marriage license was issued to day to Miss Harriet W. Huker and Francis Mansfield, both residents of Whlterlver, Ariz. Mr. and Mrs. E. T,.

Louis Oumbiener and Harry Hoff man returned to the city last night rrora an outing spent at the Valley Ranch on the Upper Rio Pecos. Deputy Sheriff J. A. Montoya re turned last night from the vicinity of the San Mateo mountains, where he went on olflclal business a few days ago. Dr. John B. Bcresford and mother. of Melbourne, Australia, who have been visiting In this territory for a month past, passed through the city today en route to New York. Sheriff Harry Coddlngton. of Mc- Klnley county, and his bride paid a Hying visit to Albuquerque this morn ing, arriving here on an early train and leaving for Gallup on the flyer. A called meeting of the presbytery of the Rio Grande was held at the Presbyterian church in this city this morning. A number of ministers of the presbytery attended and consid erable business was transacted. J. W. Mayner, charged with being drunk on the streets last night, was arraigned before Police Judge Craig this morning and upon his pleading guilty was fined $5 and costs.

If eighteen will make the trip a special Pullman car win be provided by the railroad company. The round trip fare is $1!. Barnes should be tent in before Thursday evening. Abel Perea of Bernalillo, spent to day in Albuquerque on business. Mr. 1'erea said that nearly 1.000 people were in Bernalillo county recently to attend the Matachines dance in hon or of the fiesta of San Lorenzi. Thj costumes of the dancers were the most brilliant seen In many years. The recent rains have done much good in the vicinity of Bernalillo and crops are looking tine. Mr. Perea says wheat and alfalfa In particular win make good yields but there will hpJIMjo fruit. It comes rather late this denial by Judge Rodev that he srnve out nn Interview at Oyster Bay recently, to the effect that New Mexico was suffering from graft and rotten political conspiracy. Yet the denial even as late as It has come, will have some effect In stopping the "holier than thou" com ments of a few Arizona papers that are accustomed to pick up and publish everything damaging to the fair name of New Mexico for the purpose of fos tering an 111 sentiment in our sister territory. The Citizen hopes that this aeniai Dy judge Uwlty will be given equal publicity with that given his nl leged interview. The Interview as published in eastern papers at the very time our new governor called at Oyster B iy, served to place Mr. Curry in a very embarrassing position and injured New Mexico The Associated Press handled the story and it was sent to eve-y nook and cranny of the United State. Judge Rodey says he did not make such a statement nor any state ment which could In any manner be so construed. It is to be hoped he never will have occasion to make such remarks about the territory that hus given mm an ne nas. Th selfishness of some parents is almost beyond belief, says an exchange. Here is the story of a man who left his home in Ilttsburg twenty-two years ego, intending io return the same day. He forgot all about It and wandered around the country until suddenly he remembered that he had left the gas Durning. tie went back home and found his baby daughter married and carrying a baby daughter In her arms. Enraged at his daughter's wilfulness, ine lamer Deal ner insensmie. .now, that doesn t seem just right. A dollar has nothing to say as to Its own morals. Earned by honest toll, It Is an honest dollar, but its next breath may have a taint that makes the Uoddess or Liberty hide herself back of the eagle when it Jingles in a contrl button box. A Milwaukee man has written to an Arizona postmaster for a collection of Arizona fleas. Newport should sit up and take notice. Why not give a cnampagne dinner for Arizona fleas. The Teddy bear shirt waist has taken Ike place of the peek-a-boo in popular favor. It seems to be made by cutting out the threads between the peek-a-boos.

Cooper, the lit tle daughter of Deputy U. S. Marshal Harry Cooper, at the age of ten years and eight months. The little girl died as the result of an operation for appendicitis.

Torrance and party did not arrive in the city last night as expected, but will probably get here tonight. The visiting of tne Hagan coal mines caused them to be one day late In their arrival here.

Miss Hedrick is a little black eyed southerner and during her orlef visit here, Bhe made many friends. In fact, she did things to the hearts of some of the masculine members of the youngsters' social set and she nas been one of the most popular members of the "kid crowd" during the summer here. Iist evening some of the members of the. young set gathered at .the home of Mrs. Collier and needless to say their coming was not announced tn advance. It was a genuine surprise party an. Miss Hedrick was given proof of her pop ularity. In fact, she had gone to spend the evening with Miss Jean Hubbs and was decoyed to her sis ter's home only to find all the lights aglow and a crowd of her young friends waiting to receive her.
