Beyond the Seas.

Among the illusions which are hard
TO give up none is more strongly cherished
than that which imputes to foreign travel
and European residence and study Pc
culiar virtues which alone lmpart the
very quintessence OF refinement and Gull
ture. To receive this stamp of perfec-
ton asst Jpishing sacrifices are sometimes
made, the hardest but not most uncom-
mon being the breaking up OF homes
when wives leave their husbands ana
take the children abroad. There they
settle down in one of the great capltals
or in some humber but educationally ut,
tractive town; new languages are learned
and old habits forgotten. while the young
people grow up amid alien customs ana

A Mans Greatest Helm.


Noting the tendency of mothers to
escape the care and responsibility of
training their own children, resorting to
nurses, governesses, kindergartens, ETC.,
Edward w. Box, in the Ladies' Home
Journal, vigorously contends that woman
should consider her God-given "duties''
to her children vastly paramount to every
claim that can be made upon her time.
1T IS one OF the most baleful tendencies
Of the times" writes Mr. Box, sthat
young children are placed so much and so
entirely in the hands of nurses, and so
far away from their mothers do
not think thats women exactly realize
what the early teachings and influences
of a mother mean to a man when he
reaches years of ma turity. The time
which boy spends at his mothers knee
is never forgotten by the man. Our
morality is learned there. Our charac-
ters are formed there. We are most i'm
absolute dependence upon others. What
sort of a recollection is it for q man
to look back to line of nurses or gov
crnesses? What moral stimulus does he
receive from the recollection of a mother
inevitably reading some novel and rest
ing in a languid stupor with fan and
smelling bottle? What moral fiber is in
stilled into child who sees his mother
only as she fits before him between
morning calls, luncheons. meetings, teas,
oIlNeS, ulnnerS ana IneaIcr parties.
What does boy learn at the knee of
nurse? Good? Perhaps. But just as
often he learns that which is not good.
Many man has stood at the
forks of the good road in his life. broken
hearted and perplexed, only to have his
mothers words uttered to him when a
child, come before him and point him
the way. 1t is then that he realizes
that the best thing in the world to man
is to have had a good mother, watchful,
tender and anxious. as only a mother can
he where her child is concerned. In
those supreme moments the lesson
taught-not by the nurse, not by stran.
GER not at the kindergarten, but at the
mothers knee-becomes a precious rec
objection and benedicllon. It means
then a mans salvation: And in that
quiet moment man thinks of a good
mother as he never thinks of any other
woman. A look of tenderness comes
into his eyes, feeling of softness creeps
into his heart. and the attitude of his
earliest infancy comes to him as, uncon-
sciously, he looks upward and breathes to
himself the most precious of all words:
Mother 1t remains for the mothers of
today to determine how much that word
will mean to the men of tomorrow

Pleasure of Travelling in Russia.

A St. Petersburg paper prints the story
of two ladies who complained to rail
way conductor because a man was smok-
ing in the car reserved for non-smokers.
The insolent conductors only reply was
that he, too, lighted cigar in the car.
At the next station the ladies complained
to the agent, who censured the con
ductor A few hours later, when it was
dark, the conductor suddenly stopped
the train, told the ladies they had ar
rived at their station, and helped them
out. When the train had left the ladies
discovered that they had been abandoned
in a field, with no house in sight.

THE LIBERAL is glad to know that
New Mexico journalism is not to lose
the Incompatible services OF Col. AL
len Kelly. The owners of the Albu-
querque Democrat, with a foresight
which does honor to their hindsight,
have hired ''the man who worked with
Dana on the Moo York Sum-" and are
carrying him on the pay roll as "asso-
clate editor" 1t is a safe bet that as
long as he holds that job the Demo.

THE Rincon Weekly, since 1t has
been under the management Of Fred
Anderson, has been one Of the l~lyllest
papers in the territory. Mr.. Ander-
son has walked up many Of the old tur-
ties that have been snoezing In the
sands Of the Rio Grande and he is va
rlOusly referred to as brilliant"
"brainy, "hlred blackguard," "rabid
and rascally," bright young man."
He was getting along well until last
week when he printed an editorial
calling attention to some Of the queer
antics Of the Albuquerque Democrat,
otherwise known as the New York
World Of New Mexico. The Demo-
crat, with proper dignity, refused to
acknowledge the existence Of such a
paper as the Weekly, until the Albu-
querque Citizen "%digniacd" the edito-
rial by reproducing IL. The Demo
crat then fell to and with the blows
Of a %pile-driver proceeded to demolish

SOME OF the democrats are worrying
because they fear that an office seek
ing ring has secured a grip on the re-
publican party Of Grant county and
intends 10 select the nominees for the
various county officers and simply al
low the comfy convention to endorse
these selections. Now it would be
much better for the success Of the
party in the county, and the LIBERAL
would be glad, II there was such a well
organized machine and so successful a
"boss7 that county conventions were
only needed to endorse the actions Of
the machine, but, unfortunately, the
republican county conventions gener-
ally knock the stuning out of any ma
chine that may attempt to work a
convention. No machine has ever
been able to to force a ticket through
a republican convention. Another pc
culiarity about these conventions is
the delight they take In turning down
the aspirations OF men who have pre-
viously worked against a ticket be-
cause they could not secure a place
on IL.

THESE cases Of contempt Of court,
OF which there have been so many in
late years, are a little different from
an ordinary case. There is no jury
and the judge decides as TO The guilt
or innocence OF the accused, On &C.
casiOns where there is more than one
judge interested, as in a contempt
case before a supreme court the
opinion does not have to be unani-
nous, the oplnlon Of the majority Is
the opinion OF the court aud decides
the matter. When men accused of
contempt have been pronounced in
nocent by SO august a body as our su-
preme court the matter ought 20 be
considered settled, at least rs far as
the court Is concerned. But this docs
not apply in New Mexico. Some time
since Catron & Spless, a lrm OF Santa
Fe attorneys, were hailed before the
territorial supreme court charged
with contempt. They we're tried and
acquitted. At this late day George
L. WHY'S, Judge Laughlin's clerk,
theoretically a servant OF the court, is
sending all over the country printed
copies OF Laughlin's opinion in this
case, which opinion was not that OF
the court, but exactly opposite to 1t.

High Water Notes.

Wood River was the highest ever
known Thursday morning, having
risen six inches during the night.
The river has washed out several
acres sof MIXERS ranch, between
HALEY and ketchum, including two
acres of crops.
The Warm Springs wagon bridge
was reported by Mr.. Stewart, Thurs
day, to be in precarious condition.
George Metzler's teams were put to
work hauling Stag from the smelter
dumps to build up the bank that
washing out on the west side, and
yesterday it was considered out of
danger.
The railroad bridge between the
depot and smelter is nearly gone,
about forty feet of the bank on the
west side having been washed away.
1t is expected to 60 out at any time,
and when it does the railroad bridge
at Cold Springs will be doomed to
similar fate, as it is already weak
ened by the accumulation of trees
and debris which have fioated down
the raging torrent of water. Several
of the piles are already gone and the
banks are gradually washing away.
There are many changes to be
| made on the U. P. branch road to
reach ketchum nowadays. Owing
to the washout of about a mile Of
the track between the Fort ranch
and Gimlet, the passengers have to.
walk and the mail and express car
ried for over a mile, when they
are transported for three miles by
push cars to the Cold Springs
bridge, which the passengers walk
over, and on this side they board
flat-car to complete the trip to
Ketchum. There is quite q train
on this side, consisting of an engine
and dozen cars which were caught
on this side of the bridge when the
washout occurred two weeks ago.
