RESTORATION OF BUSINESS
PROSPERITY.
A much better feeling in financial
and busfness circles is noted in busi
ness centers and in the great cities of
the country, and this is disseminating
itself slowly but surely to all sections
of the country. The newspapers are
reflecting this feeling and In their
reviews and prognostications for the
future they take a very hopeful and
decidedly Improved view of the situa
tion. This is in the right direction and
helps public confidence and the resto
ration of the belief that financial af
fairs are improving steadily.
Discussing this phase of the times
the Washington Post, under the head
ing, "Good times in 1908," puts the sit
uation pertinently and properly when
It says that comparisons of causes and
conditions of the present monetary
and commercial disturbances with the
causes and conditions of those of 1873
and 1893 demonstrate with absolute
certainty that we are nearlng the end
of this depression.
There has been no recent retirement
of greenbacks as preceded 1873, nor
demonetization of silver, which cut off
the supply of money when It was most
needed in that same era.
There has been no drain of gold
from our land such as preceded and
followed 1893, no clutching and hoard
ing of United States treasury notes, as
in the three years which followed. Up
on the contrary, there are today in the
United States nearly $100,000,000
more iu currency than there was
two months apo, and with the gold
still to arrive from abroad and the in
crease in our bank circulation, which
is being made every day, an additional
$100,000,000 will be doing duty within
the next sixty days . ,
Thanks to tne promptness of the
treasury officials and the energy of
our financiers, merchants, and bankers
the close of 1907 will witness as great
an Increase of our money volume in
four months as came in three years
after the panic in 1873 and 1893.
Money Is death to financial panic,
and the remedy is at hand and being
appllod.
Eurepe gives us $75,000,000 in gold
In thirty days' time, and, after giving
that great sum, by January 1, 1908, we
will have more gold on hand than
Europe possessed July 1, 1907. That
$75,000,000 only represents the new
gold that Africa has produced in six
months' time, and Europe has at her
command as an increase of her July
1 stock the production of Australia
and India. Our own gold mines are
producing daily and their product is
nearly three times the amount it was
in 1893. We keep all our new gold,
we re-inforce It with the scores of
millions from abroad, and are ready to
back that all up with new bank circu
lation to an extent required.
The Congress that convenes will
quickly respond to the call of the
President and the country. The Post
Is willing to go on record with the
prediction that by next April or May
the prosperity of the country will be
in full swing again,- sustained by an
ample supply of money and unbound
ed confidence In the future. The flower
Safety has been plucked from the net
tle Danger.
The banks and trust companies of
Washington, solvent and secure, ha"?
given a splendid example to the coun
try of safe and sound banking. They
are free from speculation, spoliation
and selfishness.
They have carried the fortunes of
the community with safety to deposl
tors and with credit and honor to
themselves. The days of doubt are
over and the immediate future is very
encouraging.
friendly to President Roosevelt and
too much in love with the policies and
actions of the Roosevelt administra
tion nevertheless comments upon the
prosidont's expressions and cautions
the federal office holders, not In too
complimentary terms but rather in a
fair spirit, holding that President
Roosevelt has taken the wind out of
the sails of those who have been play
ing the political game to serve their
own ends under the guise of being
"third termers." The people them
selves have never been deceiv
ed by the lung capacity of
these men and it is fair to
assume that the president was equal
ly clear sighted. For he must have
known that the people long ago took
him at his word and did not regard
him as a candidate, even though many
of them still wanted him. It would cer
tainly have been a poor compliment
'to the people's Intelligence and to his
own reputation for sincerity if the peo
ple and the President had done other
wise. But whether the President's order
for his expressed wish amounts to
that will prevent the politicians from
interfering with the people's choice of
their candidate remains to be seen.
The President cannot of course pre
vent the people from electing whom
soever they choose as delegates to the
convention next year. But with the
President a candidate, the Impropriety
of padding the convention with federal
appointees Is manifest, and this Im
propriety Is hardly less pointed when
the President is out of the running,
for the Presidential Influence will be
exerted. A man of such strenuous ten
dencies as Mr. Roosevelt can hardly
be expected to keep his hands entire
ly off and not try to contribute to the
success of his policies in the naming
of his successor. Under all the cir
cumstances, therefore, men who owe
their offices to the president and will
ask a renewed tenure from his suc
cessor are not the best delegates who
could be sent to the convention, even
though the fact that a man Is a fed
eral officeholder does not deprive him
of the rights of citizenship or unfit him
to express the choice of the people.
It Is now "up to" the officeholders to
"be good" and to the people to "say
what." If the president has not defi
nitely "checked" his boom, he has at
least, in the parlance of the day,
"clearing house certificated" It, for the
people are with him in this matter.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S TIME
LY AND TERSE ORDER.
The announcement from the nation-
al capital that President Roosevelt has
given it out cold that he wishes that
federal office holders should not ex
ert themselves to secure Roosevelt
delegates for the 1908 Republican na
tional convention and should not work
to secure places as delegates to that
convention has met with much . ap
proval all over the country, and even
newspapers that are none too friend
ly to the administrative policies of
the President at this time, have not
been bo for some time, and are cer
tainly not friendly to the third term
movement, are compelled to be decent
and to comment properly' upon the
President's announcement which
bears upon ita face, in its tenor and
la spirit and in letter absolute sin-
1908 A YEAR OF PROMISE.
The outlook for the Sunshine Terri
tory and for the soon to be Sunshine
State in 1908, is bright and is improv
ing steadily in every direction. The
recent financial flurry .which has af
fected New Mexico some, but fortun
ately to a smaller degree than many
other commonwealths, is settling Itself
rapidly and in the right direction. The
outlook for the winter for livestock,
sheep and cattle is very good and bus
iness in every direction Is satisfac
tory. Immigration and capital are
steadily coming into the territory; a
clean and honest administration is
now the fact, and least, but not last,
statehood seems well nigh assured.
The situation in Washington is grow
ing better and more favorable almost
dally and if the good citizens will from
now on make a strong pull, a united
pull and an energetic pull, in all prob
ability they will with the Congress
of the United States and the help of
the President, pull the territory into
the sisterhood of states by November,
1908.
U. S. ATTORNEY LLEWELLYN'S
CA8E.
The Albuquerque morning sheet In
an editorial on Monday last asserted
that U. S. Attorney W. H. H. Llewel
lyn had been "removed from office."
The assertion Is absolutely false and
therefore libelous. U. S. Attorney Llew
ellyn has not only not been removed
from office but Is still de facto and de
LET THE WORK BE THOROUGH
AND IMPARTIAL.
Solicitor General Henry M. Hoyt of
the Department of Justice arrived In
the city yesterday, presumably for
the purpose of making a thor
ough Investigation into certain
charges made and widely cir
culated throughout the country
that great and serious fraudulent
practices obtained in New Mexico and
conspiracies to defraud the United
States and the territory out of pub
lic lands, some of them containing val
uable deposits of coal. The people of
the territory are pleased that such an
Investigation will be made by one of
tho highest officials of the government,
and by one who enjoys the greatest
respect and is held In the highest es
teem as an official, as a lawyer, as a
citizen and as a man. Solicitor General
Hoyt has had great experience and his
selection for this duty could not have
been Improved upon.
The people of New Mexico have suf
fered a great deal during the past
two years from the circulation of such
charges and from their almost con
stant Iteration and reiteration by the
public press throughout the country,
by officials and by some of the terri
tory's own newspapers and citizens.
Their thorough investigation and the
results will prove of great benefit and
the New Mexican hopes and believes
will clear the reputation and fair
name of New Mexico and that the guil
ty, whoever they may bo, will receive
the punishment the law administers
for violations of the character named.
The people of Now Mexico have noth
ing to conceal and no one to shield.
If any of their officials have been guil
ty of misfeasance or malfeasance or
have violated the laws or If any citi
zens have engaged in practices that
were unlawful or are made crimes or
misdemeanors by law, the people as a
whole desire that nil such cases be
brought properly before the courts and
tho departments in Washington and
that prompt action be had in the prem
ises and that fair and even handed
justice be dealt out to all concerned.
If, on the other hand, it is found that
tho charges have been exaggerated or
are unfounded or founded in some de
gree only they desire such results duly
announced that New Mexico may no
longer bo held up to the country at
large as a commonwealth that reeks
with corruption and dishonesty, that is
unfit for self-government and whose
officials and citizens are not of the
right calibre nor possess the necessary
qualifications to entitle them to be
citizens of an American state.
The New Mexican feels certain that
Solicitor General Hoyt will be afforded
every possible aid and assistance in
the performance of his duties when
ever and wherever he so desires by
officials, by members of the bar and by
citizens generally.
SOMETHING DOING AROUND
ARTESIA.
Five years ago where now stands
the prosperous town of Artesla In Ed
dy county, there were two or three
farms with but scant Irrigation and
small crops. Today there Is a town
that is prosperous and growing, with
1,500 inhabitants, banks, modern
school houses and many other Im
provements. The country round about
has been settled with a very good
class of well to do people and the Pe
cos Valley News, published there,
prints the following agreeable word
picture of conditions:
"Artesla is on the upward move. We
are to have cement crossings on the
main streets and the other crossings
are to be put in, so we are informed.
Many new buildings are in process of
construction and there Is an air of
general prosperity all about us. Every
well drill in this vicinity is busy and
there are thousands of acres being
seeded to alfalfa. Homes are being es
tablished in the country about and
preparations are being made for tilling
an increased acreage this coming
year. Something doing around Artesla."
Considering all conditions tho peo
ple of New Mexico have much to be
thankful for and therefore ought to
give thanks tomorrow Thanksgiving
day 1907 in due course and that de
voutly and sincerely. In all affairs up
on this globe there must be some
drawbacks, some inequalities, some in
conveniences and some misfortune.
But taking it all in all, the people of
New Mexico did remarkably well dur
ing the year 1907 and what is still
better the prospects for 1908 are bet
ter than they have ever been for any
year In the history of the territory.
Justice plays funny pranks in New
York. A burglar who has been a 'thief
only to the tune of 12 two-cent stamps
by his crude burglary, has been sen
tenced to ten years In the penitentiary
recently while "financiers" who have
stolen hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have gone scott free.
