THE JOURNAL'S PICKWICKIAN
HUMOR.
In its last Sunday's issue the Albu
querque morning yellow sheet under
the heading "The Truth Seems to
Hurt," hauls President Roosevelt over
the coals and in the opinion of the
sheet they are very hot coals Indeed.
With people of intelligence, of fair
ness and of decency the editorial lan
guage in the article has no effect ex
cept to bring about smiles at ' tho
silliness and vindictiveness displayed
therein. The editorial refers to a
dispatch which was sent out recently
from Washington describing an in
terview between the President and
Senator Scott of West Virginia. About
the funniest paragraph in the editori
al reads:
"It seems that the President, after
asking Senator Scott of West Vir
ginia, to tell him the plain truth about
a matter of public concern, became
very indignant when the Senator
complied literally with the request.
But we are not surprised at that. We
have had a little experience of our
own along the same line, and know
how to sympathize with the West Vir
ginia senator. When tho President
turned the people of New Mexico ov
er to the tender mercies of the Bur-sum-Andrews-Llowellyn
crowd the
Morning Journal told him in plain but
wholly respectful and Inoffensive
terms, that he had been deceived by
the gang and led into making a griev
ous mistake, whereupon the name of
this paper was put upon the White
House black list. But thougn we still
remain among the undesirables it Is
very gratifying to see that the Pres
ident admits by deeds if not by words
that we told him the truth."
The files of the New Mexican's yel
low sheet contemporary show that
the "wholly respectful . and inoffen
slve" language consisted of most aba
slvo, dirty and uncalled for terms,
such as "Roosevelt has committed a
crime against civilization," "he has
destroyed honest government In New
Mexico," "he has unjustly and un
rainy removed tne only honest gov
ernor New Mexico has ever had," "he
allowed himself to be made a tool by
the gang," and more language of sim
ilar import and similar meaning.
That sort of linguistic shoddy may
he considered very respectful and
very Inoffensive by the sneet, but peo
ple generally will not believe this.
They will take the language for what
it stands and for what it was in
tended. Right here it is a very good thing
for the country at large that the Pres
ident has placed the Journal on the
black list and that its editorial utter
ances are no longer brought to his
notice. Were this different there
would be probably the New Mexican
says probably advisedly grave and
grievous danger of the President's
speedy resignation and vacation ol
the highest office in the world. It is
certainly in tho opinion of the Albu
querque morning yellow sheet and the
gang of tax dodgers behind it the
greatest misfortune and most dire
evil that could befall any man In pub
lic life or In office high or low, to
encounter the wrath, the venom, the
poison, and tho hatred of their com
bine. And yet strange, to say the Presi
dent is doing pretty well In wielding
the big stick; Delegate Andrews is
doing good, valuable and yeoman ser
vice for the people of New Mexico in
general and for many, many Individu
al citizens in particular; Chairman
Bursum Is still handling the reins In
the Republican territorial central com
mittee and continues to be recognized
as the legitimate loader of the Repufr
Hcan party.

Times change and men change with

in membership and In personnel have
been remarkable although the meth

and the House of late have not un
dergone many alterations. The leg

been the same for many years and in
tne House tho Thomas B. Reed rules

powerful oratory have of late years
been rather conspicuous by their ab

"Importation into one state from

the test of interstate commerce.
Every part of evory transportation of

state to a prescribed destination in

They are never found on subscription
