"TRELFORD, PRISON EXPERT"
Under the heading, "Trelford, Pris
on Expert," the Albuquerque Citizen
discusses the recent action of Acting
fiovernor James W. Raynolds In the
removal of Arthur Trelford upon
proven charges of great cruelty and
severe ill treatment of convict!?, in
an editorial containing very strong
language but certainly language to
the point and borne out by facts and
circumstances. The great majority
of the people of the Territory and
certainly of those who have followed
the case In the Xew Mexican and
decent and respectable newspapers
generally are in accord with the views
expressed by the Citizen and hereto
fore and now by this paper. The edi
torial reads:
"The penitentiary investigation
took a rather unexpected turn as an
nounced In the Citizen yesterday,
when Colonel Minus forwarded to the
President, a complete draft of the tes
timony as to the manner in which
Thelford treated the convicts under
him.
"Colonel Minus Is disinterested ex
cept that he believes In humane hand
ling of convicts under all circum
stances in so far as possible. All that
he desires is that a man shall be in
charge of the penitentiary who pos
sesses a little humanity.
"The Morning Journal In an effort
to defend Trelford is making a spec
tacle of itself. A paper that has de
clared for good government, etc., as
rabidly as has the Morning Journal,
ought to lift up Its voice in a bitter
denunciation of such prison methods
as Trelford uses.
"If the Morning Journal believes so
sincerel In reform' (which it does not)
it ought to stand for reform and op
pose everything vicious and corrupt.
That is, the Morning Journal should
do so, If it desires to secure public
confidence. It has no ammunition to
use in Trelford's defense for Trelford
himself appears unable to make a de
fense. "There can tie no defense for a man
who will hang a convict up by the
wrists for seventeen days, then slap
him in the face as he swoons from
pain and exhaustion.
"There can be no defense for a man
who will force a convict with a broken
arm to work at shoveling coal.
"There can be no defense for a man
who surrounds himself with a set of
bullies and allows one of them to
chain a prisoner fast to a cell door
and beat him In the face with bare
fists.
"There can be no defense- for a man
who strikes an unconscious negro
with a club in order to revive him.
"There can be no defense for a man
who starves, bull-dozes and beats con
victs for the sake of saving a few
dollars a year in order to make a rec
ord and bolster up a fake reform ad
ministration. "He is not of New Mexico nor of
the West. He was brought here by
an Incapable Governor and he has
been just as much of a fizzle as the
balance of the reform outfit.
"He has made no friends in New
Mexico and would not make friends
here because he is not the sort of a
man the Southwest needs nor the sort
she adopts.- The least the morning
paper could have done would been
to have remained silent on this mat
ter, but It has seen fit to come out
in open support of handling our con
victs like a set of dogs worse than
most docs are treated. However, if
the Morning Journal wants to defend
Trelford In the face of public opin
ion, that is the privilege of the Morn
ing Journal.
"It is a pity the story of Trelford's
methods went to Washington. Such
things only tend to give the people
of the East the impression that New
Mexico is filled with a lot of unregen
erated savages. We are being bur
dened with the sins imported by our
so-called reformers from Russia and
elsewhere. The Acting Governor
should simply have removed Trelford
as auietly as possible and thus saved
New Mexico an additional black eye
from the reformers. As far as an Im
partial hearing of Trelford is con
cerned, the Acting Governor did not
act up to the precedent established by
his nredecessor Hagerman. Had he
done so, he would have ordered the
attorney general to conduct a secret
investigation, after having removed
Trelford and he would have refused
Trelford a hearing of any sort what
soever. "That the Acting Governor In
tended and did act justly, fairly and
in good faith Is shown by the fact that
Trelford and his attorney were both
allowed to be present and to cross
examine every witness.
"The Citizen is glad the Morning,
Journal has gone on record as favor
ing Trelford's Russian prison metli
otls. It simply shows more clearly,
the reform ideas of that paper and
its ability to contort the truth to suit
its ends. The sooner the axe la an
plied to Mr. Trelford's official head,
the better the public will like it. Rus
sian prison methods do not go in New
Mexico."
A MORE SATISFACTORY CONDI.
TION.
The railroad managers of the coun
try have evidently thought a good
deal over the railroad situation lately
and have come to the conclusion that
matters are not near as bad 'as they
might be. Indeed the railroads are
not losing any money; their business
is increasing constantly, and the fu
ture looks bright. Their managers
are becoming more and better ac
quainted with the recent Congres
sional enactments for the control of
certain railroad affairs by the Inter
state Commerce Commission and they
are finding many more beneficial
points than drawbacks. In discuss
ing this much more favorable aspect
of railroad affairs the Pueblo Chief
tain is of the opinion that it was quite
a rude awakening, but since the rail
roads have learned that they must
obey the law the same as any other
corporation or individual the railroad
situation is taking on a more roseate
hue. Railroad men. as well as men
of affairs In other lines, are agreed
that the railroads are looking up.
And not one of them character
izes the situation as uniquely as
does M, E. Ingalls, former pres
ident of the Big Four system. Mr.
Ingalls says: "The reason is that the
railroad people have finally gotten so
they can wake up in the morning and
think of President Roosevelt without
having nervous dyspepsia or stage
fright, and that helps a good deal. It
was this way. For some time the rail
road men were afraid the President
was going to swallow the railroads or
confiscate them. Now they are be
ginning to find out that it is not so
bad as that, and a more healthy con
dition is the result."
The whole situation is contained In
the fact that the railroads have come
to realize that they must obey the
law. While In many cases their obe
dience i being yielded somewhat re
luctantly, It is nevertheless effective
in creating a more wholesome situa
tion. As Mr. Ingalls suggests, the fact
that they must obey the law will be
a good thing for them. Not only will
they know what to depend on, but the
patrons of the roads will have the
assurance that they are receiving
equal favors with their competitors,
and it will operate to bring about a
more stable condition in busines and
industrial affairs.
SOUTH SANTA FE COUNTY SET
TLING. South Santa Fe County is settling
with a very good class of people, and
during the last twelve months about
one hundred homestead entries' have
been made in that secdon. The new
settlers are mostly from Oklahoma,
Indian Territory, Missouri and Kan
sas. They have faith that they will
be able to raise good crops of wheat,
vegetables and feed stuff. The town
of Stanley has been started with good
prospects to become a populous and
well to do place, especially as the
supplies, coke and coal for the San
Pedro mining camp and the Santa
Pe Gold and Copper Mining Company,
and the copper output from there
will be freighted to and from Stanley.
The more prosperity and business
there is in south Santa Fe County
the more beneficial to this city and
the merchants and business men of
the Capital cannot do too much to
secure a growing business of that
section. This city is the natural
point at which the people of south
Santa Fe County should do business
and if this is not done it will be the
fault of the merchants and business
men here. The Santa. Fe Central
Railway will do all in its power to
facilitate and aid towards securing
and holding the trade of that section
In this city. This good opportunity
to increase business should not be
lost by the commercial interests of
the Capital.
on the uutsldo of the page we said
nothing, but the article reproduced be
low Is beyond forgiveness:
'"The town of'Snpder Okla
though only a new town,4 has been
twice visited day destructive
cyclones, nearly destroyed by fire
twice, and was recently visited
by a severe hale Btorm that did
great damage to the crops and
town.' "
"Tho Western Liberal, of Lords-
burg, came out last week with a fine
one column editorial on the saloon
question. It ran all of one column
and part of another. The editor of
the News read nearly all of one and
was near the bottom of the page whun
some large type in an adjoining col
umn caught his eye. It read 'Harper's
Whiskey.' We did not finish the editorial."
NEAT NEWSPAPER HUMOR
Editor J. L. Newkirk, of the Pecos
Valley News, published in tha thriv
ing little town of Artesia, has evi
dently a good deal -of newspaper hu
mor about him. This is right well
disclosed In his naper. For instance,
the following two Items are not at all
bad:
"That fellow Ayres of the Kenria
Record, is aulte a character, or at
least his paper Is. We could stand
his runninu part of the locals upside
down and when he run a column rule
About two and one-half Inches of
rain fell In sections of Roosevelt
County week before last. This rain-
ful came at tho right time and
farmers there report that they will
raise good crops this season, This In
a section that five years ago was a
good deal of a barren waste and
where it was not thought that crops
without Irrigation could be obtained.
It is being demonstrated by facts like
these that the eastern part of New
Mexico from the base line north ia
not as arid a country as It was sup
posed to be up to within a few years
ago; on the contrary, many parts of
it are now sections that will
produce satisfactory crops of cereals
without irrigation, but with a natural
rainfall 'and a cultivation of the soil
under the Campbell dry culture methods.
Danny Macpherson's Albuquerque
Morning Coyote Journal does no long
er charge President Roosevelt with
having committed "a great crime
against humanity and decency in
New Mexico" with having ruined the
cause of reform in the Sunshine Ter
ritory, with having allowed himself
to be "bamboozled by the New Mexico
gang of corruptionlsts and boodlers."
No! Danny sees the handwriting on
tho wall and Is scared. The gang
that controls the sheet is also finding
out that the people can no longer be
fooled by its course of "greed, graft
and venom." Its circulation fakes and
its silly boastings are taken for what
they are really worth and that
amounts to precious little.
The citizens of School Districts
Nos. 27 and 30 in the town of Gallup
are to vote on the question of a levy
of an additional ten mills on the dol
lar of taxable property for school pur
poses on July 9th next and the
chances are that the project will carry.
If it does in addition with the regu
lar five mills levy and the Territorial
levy, the town of Gallup will be en
abled to have public school terms of
nine months during the coming year
and to maintain good schools. That
is the proper public spirit and one that
helps to build up communities.
Would there were more of this in the
city of Santa Fe.
An affidavit several columns long
by former superintendent of the Ter
ritorial penitentiary in his defense ap
peared in Saturday's issue of the Al
buquerque Morning Coyote. In the
main the affidavit is like a copy fui
nished the executive of the Territory,
but in some instances it is garbled
and mutilated. This causes no aston
ishment, it being in accord with the
usual custom of the sheet In which it
was published. The expected will
happen.
The aimointment of Sheriff Marion
Littrell of Colfax County to succeed
Arthur Trelford, removed from the su
nerintendency of the Territorial prison
upon fully established charges of un
due cruelty and barbarous severity in
the cases of certain convicts at the
Territorial prison, means much in the
right direction and will bring about
efficient and Jiut administration ot
nenitentiarv affairs, strict and effec
tive where necessary humane, and
kind where advisable.
The slanders and libels directed
against Acting Governor James W.
Raynolds and Attorney General
George W. Prichard in the Albuquer
que Morning Coyote Journal and by
Interested parties have no effect.
These officials can not be scared, they
can not be bulldozed, they can not be
cajoled, they can not be deceived, and
they certainly cannot be blackmailed.
The" Morning Coyote will have to com
mence again with Us howls in another
direction.
El Fenix, a lively weekly newspaper
published at Clayton, Union County,
In the English and Spanish languagea,
hits the nail on the head in the fol
lowing editorial item concerning Dele
gate W. H. Andrews:
"In the various epithets that the
opposing politicians lavish on Dele
gate Andrews," there is not a single
one which dares to apply to him the
epithet of 'unfit,' because his record
is so clear that it Infuses respect even
In the most 'Impudent.' "
