THE PLOT TO RUIN BURSUM HAS
FAILED IGNOMINOUSLY.
Time rights many things and un
does many an act of official and pri
vate injustice, dishonesty and inde
cency. This is the case with the das
tardly and cowardly attempt to ruin
H. O. Bui'sum, chairman of the Re
publican Territorial Central Commit
tee, to destroy the Republican Terri
torial organization and to put the Hag
erman machine composed principally
of Albuquerque corporation sharks, tax
dodgers and Democratic politicians,
with a few of the same ilk from other
sections of the Territory, into power
and in control.
A very able and remarkably well
written, truthful and convincing edi
torial in the Carlsbad Argus under the
heading "What a Little Time Brings
Forth," gives a succinct and highly
interesting account of the affair. Says
the Argus:
"Time rolls on and changes come.
This is true in New Mexico as well
as in all other portions of the globe.
One of the notable shifting of posi
tions noticeable here in this imme
diate section of the universe during
the past fifteen months is the obliter
ation of the head of the government,
once supreme and unchecked in Us
3way, and the coming back to power
by the route of complete vindication
of a man who was deposed from office
and cast out to ruin, by one of the
first acts of a governor who now knows
he taste of humiliation and of defeat
himself. Practically the first political
act of Governor Hagerman in assum
ing office was the removal of the su
perintendent of the Territorial peni
tentiary, H. O. Bursum. This re
moval was made precipitately, with
out investigation, and without giving
Mr. Bursum an opportunity to be
heard. A trumped-up investigation
was had after the removal was made,
and even at that late day Mr. Bur
sum was denied a hearing. He was
charged with mis-management of the
penitentiary and the diverting of its
funds to ilia own use. Those who
knew the man well, and those who
did were legions, put no faith in the
accusation. But there were a few
who did, and the administration did
what it could, and it could do much,
to make the case look as black against
him as possible, hoping to crush him
at the very outset and make resist
ance and vindication impossible. But
they made the mistake of not know
ing the man, and of underestimating
the loyalty of his friends. The man
Bursum just would not down, and
there you are. He stood out in the
open, denied the accusation, and
asked for an investigation. He is now
getting it by the court route, and
those who are following the matter
closely are ready to announce that
his vindication will be full and com
plete. In the meantime the men who
cast him out to what they hoped
would foe political, financial and indi
vidual death, have walked the' plank
by order of the President of the Uni
ted States, and instance after instance
and circumstance after circumstance
have been uncovered of late to show
that it was a well laid plan to be
smirch the reputation and honor of
one of the foremost men of New Mex
ico and to cast him out of the place
lie has ield for years at the head of
the Republican organization of the
Territory. Yes, time rolls on, and
the changes come, and in this in
stance the changes are welcome and
are the best for all concerned."
fact by the end of the year.
Skeptics poo-pooed the idea that
the Santa Fe Central Railway cotill
ever be made to pay. Although but
a link between two great railroad sys
terns, the business of the road is stead
ily Improving and in a gratifying con
dition, so the New Mexican is reliably
informed. The Hagau coal fields are
being worked to a limited extent.
While the output so far Is small, with
railroad connections and proper ma
chinery and labor, it could be easily
increased thirty to forty times the
present output. "The proof of the pud
ding is in the eating," and it is be
ing established, except in the minds of
the vindictive and unscrupulous per
sonal enemies of Delegate W. H. An
drews that he has accomplished great
and good work for central New Mex
ico in particular and for the whole
people in general, both in the matters
above treated and as their representa
tive in Congress.
"PROGRESS AND DECENCY."
The Socorro Chieftain, a straight
forward and decent Republican paper,
under the heading of "Progress and
Decency,1' makes editorial comment
on the defunct Hagerman administra
tion, which in view of the keeping up
of the racket in favor of Hagerman
regime toy the Albuquerque Morning
Coyote Journal and similar sheets is
timely and proper. It seems that the
yellow sheets and papers which sup
ported the recent fake reform ad
ministration will not let up and hence
it becomes necessary that patriotic
and well meaning newspapers keep
the facts and conditions as they really
were before the people. Says the
Chieftain:
"'Progress and Decency!' Let us
see.
"IT. J. Hagerman was the head of
the administration referred to. One
of Governor Hagerman's first official
acts was to dismiss one of the leading
officials of the Territory from office
without assigned cause and then to
institute a so-called investigation of
his accounts, at which investigation
the dismissed official was absolutely
refused a hearing. The manner of
conducting the investigation and mak
ing its results known made manifest
a high-handed and reckless determi
nation to ruin the dismissed official in
his personal, political, and business
relations for purely selfish purposes.
And this was the ' first step in the
direction of 'progress and decency.' "
AS USUAL THE MORNING JOUR
NAL LIES.
The Albuquerque Citizen, a news
paper that has the best interests of
its city and county at heart, and which
is certainly well acquainted with the
situation, as well as with the charac
ter and policy of the Grant barrel
boodlers, gives the milk in the cocoa
nut In the conduct of the Albuquerque
Morning Coyote Journal in right good
shape, truthfully and correctly when
It says:
"Governor Curry informed the Morn
Ing Journal ALONE of his contem
plated trip to this city; Governor
Curry was met by one tired-looking
Journal reporter by accident ALONE;
Governor Curry was entertained by
the Morning Journal staff ALONE;
Governor Curry will support the Morn
ing Journal's policy ALONE; Gover
nor Curry believes with the Morning
Journal ALONE that Roosevelt Is a
liar, a conspirator, a dupe and a fool;
Governor Curry will take orders from
the Morning Journal and Neill B.
Field ALONE; Governor Curry will
oppose everything the people and the
Republican party in New Mexico
wants because of the Morning Journal
ALONE. This is the way the Morn
ing Journal would like the impression
to go out; but, ns usual, the Morning
Journal lies."
NON-PARTISAN BOARDS OF CON
TROL.
Captain Curry's announcement that
he believes it to be wise policy that
Territorial commissions and boards
of regents should be non-partisan is
in line with Republican administra
tion precedents since 1897, except un
der the Hagerman fake reform adminis
tration, during which such boards and
commissions were simply constituted
for the purpose of building up an.1
putting in power the Hagerman poli
tical machine for the glory and lauda
tion of that great reform ex-governor
and during which nothing counted ex
cept low political and machine con
siderations; fitness, character, stand
ing and loyalty to Republican party
principles or for that matter to Dem
ocratic parly principles not being
considered at all.
Captain George Curry as gov
ernor, the New Mexican is con
fident, will choose for these com
missions and boards of control,
gocd and true men of each political
party, and noj men who simply want
office and for office sell out their man
hood, their political principles and
the true interests of the people a3
was the case in most of the fake re
form appointments from January 22,
1906, until May 10, 1907, in the Sun
shine Territory.
COMPLETION OF ALBUQUERQUE
EASTERN RAILWAY.
From Pittsburg it is reported It is
very probable that the different inter
ests owning the Santa Fe Central Rail
way, the Albuquerque Eastern Railway,
and the Pennsylvania Development
Company may consolidate with a view
to raising the necessary funds for the
completion of the Albuquerque East
ern Railway from Moriarty to the
Duke City, and the proper develop
ment and working of the extensive
coal deposits to be owned by the com
bination in the Hagan fields.
Right here it is well to remark that
Delegate W. H. Andrews was the man
who brought $2,500,000 of Pittsburg
capital Into New Mexico, which con
structed the Santa Fe Central Railway
from this city to Torrance now in
operation 116 miles and which made
feasible the settlement of the Estan
cla Valley in which now at a fair cal
culation over 5,000 people who came
there within the last three years are
living engaged in various useful and
honest pursuits. The New Mexican in
company with the people of Santa Fe
and of Albuquecque asell as those
living along the line of the road hopes
that the report will prove true and
that the completion of the Albuquer
que Eastern will be an accomplished
CURRY INAUGURATION POSTPONED.
As announced on another page of:
this issue, the inauguration of Captain j
George Curry, as Governor of New
Mexico, will not take place on Thurs
day next, but has been postponed un
til Captain Curry returns from Wash
ington. The exact date cannot be
given at this time, hut it is presumed
hat it will be sometime between Aug
ust 5th and 10th. Evidently, Presi
dent Roosevelt desired to talk to the
new Executive of the Territory before1
the latter assumed the reins of gov
ernment. It is becoming more apparent daily
that Captain Curry's inauguration will
be a splendid affair. It will empha
size the fact that the vast majority of
the people of the Territory are
pleased, and greatly so, with the
change in governorship, with the ex
ception of a few personal and busi
ness friends, a gang of Democratic
politicians, shister lawyers, Albuquer
que and Santa Water Company tax-
dodgers, and a few misguided people
and yellow sheets in the Hagerman
machine pay. This latter combine is
small, but like the proverbial frog,
makes 'a great deal of noise.
Acting Governor James W. Raynolds
has had a strenuous time of it dur
ing the past three months. It is no
fun and no easy work to perform sat
isfactorily and efficiently the import
ant and constantly growing duties of
Governor of New Mexico and Secre
tary of the Territory.
It is also noticed that during Act
ing Governor Raynolds' administra
tion of both offices, the contingent
funds thereof are not expended for
any except official purposes. Pay
ment of costs of private receptions
were not considered official expense;
neither were telegrams on personal
or political business. Further, the
vouchers for all contingent ex
penses are kept on file in the respec
tive offices and are not believed to lie
personal or private property. Here
is a decided difference between the
Hagerman administration and the
Raynolds' administration that counts
very strongly and favorably for the
Raynolds' method of performing the
official duties.

came to have so defective a mem
ory. He has been in Albuquerque
consulting Hagerman counsel and
therefore more expert "fake reports"
are in order.
In commenting upon the remarks
made by Governor Curry unofficially
in Albuquerque last Saturday evening
the Las Vegas Optic takes the right
view in saying:
"The new governor, Captain George
Curry, spent Saturday night in Albu
querque, and cf course was interview
ed by representatives of both the
Duke City papers. Judging from the
cold report handed out by the get the
money from the Bureau of Immigra
tion bunch, the governor gave that
outfit little to hope for. He made it
perfectly clear that he would give the
people of the Territory a clean, un
biased, administration and would en
deavor to repair the damage done the
Republican party in New Mexico by
Hagerman and his cohorts during
their brief official regime "
"It is suggested that if some of the
members of the Plunderbund do not
make haste with their libel suits they
may have to hand the papers out
through the bars." Journal.
"Then again, the Grant barrel may
be exhausted by early judgments."
Las Vegas Optic.
Yes, and the Grant barrel is being
exhausted already. Grafters and bood
lers have hold of it, as those at inter
est will In due time find out. In the
meantime the boodlers are making all
that the traffic will bear. The reckon
ing will come later. The Grant barrel
is emptying and that speedily, it is
said, at the rate of $1,500 to $2,000 per
month.

strange fellows. One of the candi

tain George Curry at Alamogordo
Tuesday night is straightforward, di

reformers can get out of Its terse but
