HONEST MEN FOR OFFICE.

III n01
It is more important to New Mexico
that honest, clean men be given the
federal positions in this Territory, than
it is that certain political bosses and
wire pullers are rewarded for their
services. If among the party workers
there be honest and conscientious men,
then they should have the preference
for positions of trust and honor, but @
fearless honesty should be the first
requisite to obtain Office. New Mexico
has. in the new states of Washington,
Oregon, Colorado and others, an ex.
ample she should heed. In the first
wears of these new states, office seems
to have been held for the plumber of the
people, instead of serving the people.
Men who were engaged in this dis
graceful business. were patted on the
back as "good fellows" rather than
spurned as traitors to their country as
great az Benedict Arnold. The result
is. that these new states are far worse
off, financially, than any of the Terri
tories. Instead of capitalists seeking
investments in these states, they prefer
to loan their money at 4 per cent. or
the farm lands Of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, where a mental and moral fit
ness for Office is taken into considera
ton.
The people Of New Mexico can
ever IL they have no vote for the FEEDER
al officers. prevent to a great extent
immoral men from obtaining fedora

 Damaged.

 On the Mrs. Kate George place, half mile from here, two houses were completely demolished, two of their occupants being badly hurt. On the Smith place near here two houses were completely scattered by the winds. A huge log house occupied by the so called 'Voodo Doctor" was completely destroyed. After the excitement was over a little colored child 3-years old was picked up among the debris un- hurt, while two grown people were badly wounded, one of them getting two ribs broken and sustained in- ternal injuries which may prove fatal. The gin house on the Watson place was relieved of it's roof and smoke stack and many barns un- roofed in the vicinity. The wind was accompanied by the hardest rain that has fallen here for years.

city government be improved?

partment and the police department
have undergone some changes. Have
they been imprOyedY
Unless the people take hold OF the
