INQUIRIES ABOUT PECOS VALLEY
(RoSWell ChampiOn.)

From the number Of inquiries re-
ceived daily at the offices of the irriga-
ton company at Carlsbad as to the con
ditions of climate, soil, ETC., it is quite
certain that there will be a large influx
of new people here this fall and winter.
Invalids particularly are looking this
way in search of health. This class of
correspondents is the most numerous,
After that comes the man of small
means, DESTROYS Of engaging in farm
ing, fruit or stock raising, in a modest
way; and last, but by no neal least,
comes the promoter, with his dead-sure
scheme of filling up every quarter sec
ton with incipient millioraires, who
will in a short time transform the land
scape into a sort of Elysian field. One
thing is certain, that the only thing re-
CURED to fill our valley with a desirable
class of people is to spread broadcast
the facts-not the conditions that some-
times prevail, but those that absolutely
exist now, and only await the coming
of the h~usbandnran to cover the valley
with verdure and the hills with nocks
and herds.

NOT IDLE TAX

Some two or three papers, among
them the Raleigh Post, pooh-poohed
what the Messenger aid as to a revolt
in the party against a strong law to
practically eliminate the negro as a
voter. They had either no information
about the matter at the time we wrote
or it was misleading. We had very
conclusive and alarming news, and we
at once criticised supposed recalci-
trants. There was something in the
caucus that was disturbing. We sup
pose it has quickly blown over and all
is well in so far as democratic oppo-
sition to DISTINGUISHING negro illit-
crates an non-tax payers extends.
The Messenger is not given TO SEN
sationalism. 1t had cause toN fear
trouble in a critical hour and
it at once met it not awaiting
what other papers might say or think
of it. After a great battle and a SPLEEN
did victory for white supremacy it had
no idea of losing it without an earnest
protest. The Messenger is a demo-
cratic newspaper and is first. last, all

lie, or what is left of 1t, totters. DIR.
Curry notes that one law professor sets
aside the Tenth Amendment. Another
says the only test Of a thing done is
was lit in accordance with the stand
ard of the times" So vast the 1uctu-
atoms and wild theories that DR.. Curry
in his own impressive way says:
These theories are revolutionary
and efface the well established dis
tinction between a constitution and an
ordinary statute. Nothing can be con-
ceived more antipodal to the true end
of our federal, constitutional, represen-
tative republic. The constitution be-
comes superhuons. Restraints and res
ervations are swept into desuetude, not
i~nnocuous. Oaths have no binding
force. Whim, caprice, the mutable
breath of the multitude, whatever ia
naticism o hatred, or the vulgar en-
Elements of jingoism or interest may
suggest, whether in violation of treaty,
despoiling foreign nations, creating fat
money, navigation laws, Goldfish boun-
ties, tariff robberies, dest- ction of
state autonomy, any injustice or out
rage which ambition or greed or dema-
gogism may make to appear popular,
or secure a majority in congress, super
sedes the fundamental law. The con
stitution is wiped out. Grants have
no significance. Limitations are i'm
potent. Instead of a stable, solemn,
permanent, national will, we have
hardly a rope of sand, and the consti-
ton, as Jefferson feared, becomes
waste paper by construction If our
fathers made such a government, in
stead of deserving encomiums for wis
dom and sagacity as statesmen and
publicists, they were the veriest SIM
%pletons.."
With such changes sought and such
changes already made may not the
federal power take Louisiana by the
horns and say to it you shall not have
such a constitution" The supreme
court decides now in accord with
changes wrought. Read an opinion
of a once conservative court and read
some opinions of the highest court de-
livered in the last twenty or thirty-five
years.

1t seems that authorizations now are
not confined to food products, which
are bad enough. In fact there is no
punishment hardly too severe for any
men who will adulterate the peoples
food. But rascals do not stop here.
They adulterate the clothing. He is a
fortunate man with a full purse now
who can wear pure woolens. England
has been always famous for it's supe-
rior fabrics of all classes and for their
purity. But even in England textiles
are adulterated more or less. The gov
eminent is getting after the rascals,
and the Manchester Chamber of Com
merce is giving proper attention to the
important matter. Exposures are be-
ing made In one case a number
Of men suffered from a form of
skin poisoning consequent upon wear
ing clothing filled with chloride
of zinc, which ran when wet. In an
other case a sample of flannelette-
which is extensively used by people
who fancy it possesses some at least
of the qualities of wool-was sent to
one Of the drapery papers, which had
it analysed. 1t was found to be also
filled with chloride of zinc. But this
is not all. From the Manchester re-
port it appears that "noxious adulter-
alton has been extended to other ar
ticles-such as ticks, %shirtings, blan-
kets, wooden cloths, and moleskins. The
curious thing about the investigation is
fIo& +hora v-o- q onnnnnc11c Of nnininp
among the manufacturers consulted
that while the materials used for this
kind of filling-zinc, salts, and so forth
are injurious to health, they are of
no benefit to the cloth in the manufac-
ture of which they are employed beyond
giving weight and feel"

A VERY WORTHY OCTOGENARIAN

We read from the Raleigh News and
Observer recently an account of the
sympathy and benevolence of u old
friend Hon. Josiah Turner, of Hills
boro, who was described as "a Good Sa-
marian" 1t was told how an unfortun-
ate young man who died at the Branson
House yesterday, came to him in his
trouble, Mr.. Turner gave him money
to pay his way to Henderson, and gave
him his room where he could rest until
the train should come. After DR.. Peter
E.. Hines was called in, somebody spoke
of Mr.. Turner'S kindness to the man.
and DIR. Hines aid he had done more
for the state than any other man., and
that his services had not been appre-
ciated or rewarded. Twenty years ago,
he added, he had proposed that every
man in the state who pays taxes should
pay Turner one dollar a yea as long
as he lives"
We have known of Mr.. Turner's good
ness of heart for thirty years. One cold
snowy day this writer and Mr.. Turner
were at work on the Raleigh Sentinel
in the same room. A poor woman
came in and asked for aims. He gave
her one dollar. This calling upon him
was an every day business literally.
We said, they bleed you freely know
ing you will not deny them. His reply
was-"Well, what car 1 do? That wo-
mans feet were on the snow, her shoes
being worn out. l had but that dol
lar, but what is a dollar any how, and
so 1 gave it," Scarcely a day passed
that some one or more visitors of this
kind did not call Upon him, and he
never refused. In this case he gave his
last dollar. Mr.. Turner is not far from
eighty years of age, and We bear wit
ness to his uniform kindness to all men
to those working for him, or asso-
lated with him, and to his unfailing
b~enevolence of heart and action. The
white men of North Carolina owe him
in subscriptions to the Sentinel at this
hour in principal and interest fully $780,
600. The News and Observer ave this
in addition to the above:
Judge billiard, of the supreme court,
said when Judge Brooks broke with
habeas corpus the iron bars of Holden
and Kirke, that every man who held
office or paid taxes owed Turner a
debt of gratitude.
Governor Graham once said to
Judge Kerr that Turner had done more
than all of them-'we folded our arms
and looked on in wonder and aStonish-
ment while he won the victory before
We had a chance to go to his aid"

ELECTING SENATORS BY THE
PEOPLE

The legislatures are still passing res
olutions %favoring the election of United
States senators by a popular vote.
Thus far tw%enty-four state legislatures
have taken action favorable to the
change. Others will no doubt follow.
The states that have acted through
their legislatures are California, Colo
RADIO, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucy, Louisiana,
Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebras-
ka, Nevada, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Oregan, South Caronna, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and
Utah. We do not know that all of
these states have so expressed them
selves, o whether the declaration was
by one branch only of a legislature.
Most of the legislatures have no doubt
voted as mentioned above. The senti-
ment of the people is fast turning to-
wards a direct vote for senator's, for
the corruptiOns are SO glazing and the
offence is SO often repeated by legisla-
lures that all honest people incline to
a change as both necessary and safe.
1t is found not to be very difficult to
buy enough men in a legislature to
elect a candidate however obnoxious
to criticism he may be, and however
tainted his record. The people can
not be bought up so easily, and it is
certain as good and able men will be
chosen by popular ballot as by legisla-
tive election. The indirect method
must go. 1t has been long tried and
often found defective. A change for
the better is imperatively needed. The
Washington Star gives the following
as to what is necessary to be done:
"The constitution may be amended
by either of two ways, as regards the
initiative: Congress, by a two-thirds
vote of each house, may propose
amendments; or, upon being petition
ed to that effect by the legislatures of
t~wo-thirds of the states, it must call a
convention to propose amendments.
In either case the amendments so pro-
posed, whether by congress itself or by
a convention, must be ratified by the
legislatures of or by conventions called
in three fourths of the states. There
now being forty-five states the ratif-
cations of t~hirty-six would be necessary
to pass any amendment
