OFFICIAL PAPER OF SANTA FE COUNTY.
The New Mexican is the oldest n ewspaper in New Mexico. It Is sent to
every postofflce in the Territory, and has a large and growing circulation
among the Intelligent and progressive people of the Southwest.
FARMING DOES PAY.
It is being established beyond cavil
and doubt that farming pays in the
United States and for that matter that
farming of course including horticul
ture is one of the mainstays, if not
the principal mainstay of the growth,
strength and virility of the United
States. The Denver Republican under
the heading of "Does Farming Pay?"
discusses this question fully and thor
oughly and what it says concerning
Colorado applies to New Mexico at
this time to a limited degree, but will
be fully justified concerning this ter
ritory in a very few years when irriga
tion and intense cultivation of the
soil by the Campbell dry culture pro
cess and otherwise will have gained
the foothold in the Sunshine Territory
now had in these lands lines in the
Centennial state. Even at this day the
farm and fruit produce of New Mexico
is one of the most important factors
in its well being and prosperous ma
terial condition.
The Republican holds that Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul
ture estimates the annual agricultural
products of this country at six thous
and million dollars, and it is probable
that the estimate is not very far
wrong.
This enormous production is the
chief stone in the foundation of our
national wealth, anil with the exten
sion of the tilled area and improved
methods in cultivation it is growing
larger year by year. Whether farming
pays the Individual farmer or not,
there is no question that it pays the
country; and what is profitable to the
people at large must be so also for
those directly engaged in it.
"The strength of the United States
as an agricultural country consists not
alone in Its enormous aggregate pro
duction, but very largely in the great
variety of its crops. The weakness of
the South before the war arose from
the fact that it produced almost noth
ing but cotton, and the years were
prosperous and business good in that
section according to whether the cotton
crop was bountiful and commanded a
high price in the market. Conditions
have undergone a radical change In
the South since then, although cotton
is still the principal crop. But the cot
ton states supplied at that time an il
lustration of the condition of any
country dependent in the main upon
agriculture of but one kind. Today the
United States produces nearly every
thing needed for either food or the
clothing of man. For this reason it is
strong and for this reason also self
supporting. Taking the country as a whole
farming undoubtedly pays, and taking
'the irrigated lands of Colorado in par
ticular, there, is no question about it,
whether the state or the Individual
farmers are considered. In northern
Colorado the farmers are getting rich.
A man may undertake to pay one hun
dred dollars an acre for land and in
two years earn enough from his crops
to cover the entire purchase price of
his farm. It is the most highly favored
farming region in the United States
and probably its superior is not to be
found anywhere in the world.
revenue to the city would pay for our
additional educational expenses, or
nearly so.
There is no good reason why the
licenses of saloons should not be rais
ed and there are many good reasons
why they should.
At all events The Citizen, since the
matter has been suggested, calls the
attention of the public to the subject
and would be glad to hear further
along the same lines,
WHY THE HIGH PRICE OF COAL?
A recent dispatch from an Okla
homa town states that four lumber
companies doing business there were
fined $500 each for violations of the
Sherman anti-trust law. Here is a
pointer for the Albuquerque people
who desire an Investigation of the coal
trust manipulations in the Duke City
and who endeavored to have such
brought about by the grand jury' of
the territorial district court in session
there at the present term. They should
take their cases .to the federal side
and try again. Referring to this mat
ter the El Paso Herald pertinently
says :
"An Albuquerque grand jury tried
to investigate the high price of coal,
under a law which had been on the
statute book of the territory for' sev
enteen years, but the star witnesses
when summoned, declined to answer
questions, and their lawyers contend
ed that the law was unconstitutional
and that any inquiry should bo made
in the federal court. It is to be hoped
that the inquiry will be pushed, for
the excessive price of fuel places a
serious handicap on every industry
and every family in the southwest."
Since then Judge Abbott has decid
ed the witnesses summoned by the
Bernalillo county grand jury in the
case will be obliged to give the Infor
mation desired. These witnesses were
examined and the result of the grand
jury's investigation will be made
known in its report.
HIGHER SALOON LICENSES IN
ALBUQUERQUE.
The Albuquerque Citizen brings out
a very good point for the consideration
of the city administration and the
people of Albuquerque generally. It
suggests the raising of the city licens
es in the case of saloons and other
drinking places. As is well known
Albuquerque has been and is today
a wide open town too much so for
its good and its people. Public gamb
ling will cease there as elsewhere In
the territory on January 1 next. The
revenue which has been derived from
this source for the maintenance of the
public schools of the Duke City will
be no more and the Citizen thinks that
part of this loss can be made up by an
increase in saloon licenses. The
, paper says that the city of Albuquer-
,ni lnsB a considerable sum of
money as a result of the abolishment
of licensed gambling the flrst or nexi
vear.
At the same time we need at least
two new school buildings In order to
accommodate the pupils now enrolled.
It has been suggested to The Citizen
that a good way out of the dilemma
is to raise the licenses for the sale
of intoxicating liquors.
The saloons do a big business as
big as any of our merchants and they
do not pay their pro rata, all things
considered. t .
As a matter of fact, there are prob
ably too mny saloons in Albuquer
que today. With a higher license
there would be fewer saloons and the
POSTOFFICE OFFICIALS WORK
HARD.
During the present month the post
masters and postofflce employes, es
pecially in the second and third class
offices, are earning their money and
are not at all being overpaid. During
the entire month )f October extra
sorting, counting and weighing of
mail matter will be the rule, and the
postal force will have to work hard
to carry out the orders of the depart
ment in this regard and furnish the
information desired. There may be
some soft snaps in second or third
class postoffices but certainly the San
ta Fe postofflce does not contain such
nor are there sinecures in the other
second and third class postoffices in
the Sunshine Territory. There are
some very soft federal snaps with
lots of pay and precious little to do
In New Mexico, but they do not lie
around loose in the postofflce depart
ment. There an official must be effic
ient and understand his business or
out he goes. Take it all in all the peo
ple of the country are willing to pay
for a first class, rapid and up to date
postal service and there are no public
complaints at deflciences in the de
partment.
According 1o telegraphic advices of
fsturday, President Roosevelt is
considering the question of Btatehood
for New Mexico at an early date but
has not yet come to a conclusion. That
the president is very friendly to the
claims of this territory to statehood
may be accepted as a fact. When an
enabling act is to pass and when he
is to give this project his sanction and
support is a question yet to be decid
ed. The representations which now
are being made to the President by
Governor Curry and the cogent and
strong reasons advanced by the ex
ecutlve of New Mexico to the nation
al executive may carry the day and
the president may finally conclude to
give New Mexico's claims for speedy
admission active and strong support.
if he does so, the chances will be good
for favorable action during the flrst
session of the Sixtieth Congress and
in all probability a statehood bill for
the Sunsnlne Territory will be passed
In time to enable the people of the
now state to vote for president in
1008.
PROFESSIONAL CARDS
The Torrance county fair hold dur-
ing this week at Estnncia, the countv
sent, was a success in many ways.
The exhibits of ' vegetables, cereals
and grasses were very creditable and
extensive. Fruit there was none as
the fruit crop in the Manzano moun
tains was a failure as elsewhere in
the territory on account of late frosts.
The show of livestock was also vnrv
satisfactory. The attendance was
arge ana farmers and livestock rais
ers from various portions of the coun
ty were very noticeable by their pres
ence. Another instance that county
rairs are a good thing and that evorv
county in the territory should have
one yearly at the county seats.
The Alamogordo News, which is col
lecting subscriptions for a nublic foun
tain, remarks that some of those who
have given nothing are making $25 a
day out of their business while a few
years ajo they were making $15 a
week as clerks in some other citv'
Says the News: "There are evidently
a-large number of citizens of Alamo
gordo who are either too busy or too
indifferent to take up matters of pub
lic welfare, even when the work in
volved is being done by others." It. id
a coming failing; El Paso has quite a
bunch of the same sort. El Paso Her
ald. Ditto, the Capital City of New
Mexico and the more's the pity.
The contemplated El Paso trade ex
cursion should he run into Santa Fe
via the El Paso and Southwestern
Railroad and the Santa Fe Central
Railway. This would benefit fciie busi
ness Interests of both cities and would
give the El Pasons a peep at the great
scenic attractions and the fine loca
tion of Santa Fe, enable them to get
a glimpse at the many handsome pub
lic buildings, a view of the many his
torical and archaeological objects and
attractions, and also a chance to
breathe the pure ozonic and health-giving
atmosphere and enjoy the glorious
Sunshine of this favored spot. By all
means bring the contemplated El Paso
trade excursion to Santa Fe.

President Roosevelt's tour along the
cities and towns of the Mississippi
river this week is remarkable for the
most cordial receptions and sincere
welcomes which have boon and are be-
ng extended to him by the people.
Thousands and thousands have crowd
ed and are crowding to hear him and
thousands and thousands are disap
pointed that they can not get within
ear shot of the president when he is
delivering bis speeches, If anti-Imperialists
and other cranks arc of the
opinion that Mr. Roosevelt's popular-
ty is wanning they are decidedly
"off."
From New York comes the report
that John D. Rockefeller has lossrd
$100,000,000 by the decline In prlees
of Standard Oil and other corporation
stocks which are his property, during
the past few weeks. Evidently Mr.
Rockefeller needs no pity. A man who
is in a position to lose $100,000,000 and
not whimper is pretty well fixed anyway.
DAWSON AN IDEAL TOWN.
People ought to be happy in the
mining camp of Dawson, in Colfax
county. The Phelps-Dodge corpora
tion which owns the townsite and
the buildings, furnishes water and
electric light free to its tenants, and
what is more the houses built by it
and rented to the coal miners
are comfortable and neal. Coal is
sold at $2 per ton. The town,
which contains over three thousand
people has but one justice of the
peace and he is not very busy; one
deputy sheriff and he has an easy
time of it. There are three churches,
three fine modern school houses, a
large and beautifully appointed opera
house, and only three saloons; the
business of the latter is 'very closely
regulated. PePace and order prevail
and the situation is almost ideal. The
Phelps-Dodge corporation, the own
ers of the El Paso and Southwestern
Railway system and rich copper mines
in Douglas and Bisbee, Arizona, and
in Sonora, Mexico, are the controlling
spirits. Verily, Dawson seems to be
an ideal town.
Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland
has had the job so long that he has
concluded it is his property and does
not care to give it up. Human natuje
is evidently strong with the Honorable
Tom. There are others. The longer
thpv hold lucrative and easy public of
fice the less they eare to part with
it.
Mrs. Hetty Green who is a rather
bright old woman and something of
a financier herself, says: "Wall Street
is going to the devil." If thlsis to
come true the people of the country
will not care. They have about made
up their minds that they can get
along without Wall Street.
Dead men tell no tales and they are
easily convicted; at least tnis seems
to be established in the trial of U.
S. Senator Borah at Boise, Idaho, m
which the dead ex-Governor Frank
Steunenberg, is made out to have
been guilty of conspiring to de
fraud the United States government
out of valuable timber lands.
