SEVERAL MEASUREMENTS.
The Facts About the College of Agriculture
DefGiency,
tRio Granue nepublican.)

tRio Granue republican,
The territorial press has, We believe,
shown a kindly interest in the college OF
agriculture al Mesilla Park, which Is
certainly proper, for the institution be-
longs to the people of New Mexico.
From lack of information and not
through malice, a number of misstate-
ments relative to that deficiency nave
been published. We noticed n last
week in a certain paper, which is a fair
sample, and was to the effect that the
board of regents last year misapproprl-
ated the funds, which fact called forth
the ultimatum of the department at
Washington. Now, the fact of the mat
ter is that funds We're used outside of
their strictest intention by the very first
board of regents, and it has been going
on more or less ever since. 1t is no mat
ter for political capital, since Repub-
lican and Democratic boards have la
bored under the same error. No one
can be blamed in the matter; both funds
came from the government, and the
split-hair ruling is that no portion of
one can be used for the purposes of the
other, and all surplus must be returned
each year. The restoration of the Nor
rill fund is now almost realized, and is
assured. The citizens of the territory
stood ready to assist, but we under
stand every dollar will be made up right
here, and is practically guaranteed in
full right now. That the prosperity of
this institution is assured is a matter
of congratulation for the citizens of the
entire territory.

Not Compelled to Stay At Home.

If a man is absent from his home DUR
ing the taking Of the census will he be
enumerated upon his name being given
in by one of his family?
This is n of the problems that has
arisen in regard to the enumeration. 1t
has been contended by some that a per-
son absent from his home during the
enumeration would not be listed.
All doubts have been set at rest by a
flat declaration hat absence from home
would make nc difference, and that ev-
cry resident would be enumerated, pro-
vided their names were handed in by
some member of such mans family.
There are, however, some very fine
distinctions, and the point of departure
is June l. To illustrate: A child born

In the fight to maintain Its antitrust
law, which would bar the Standard Oil
trust from doing business in the state,
Nebraska has won the first legal round.
The supreme court of the state ordered
that the briefs Of attorneys for the
Standard Oil Company be stricken from
the files for the reason that they con-
tain improper and offensive implica-
tions' toward the court. The court also
sustained the demurrer Of the attorney
general to the petition of the Standard
Oil trust. Other states will undoubted-
" follow the example Of Texas and
Nebraska in passing antitrust laws.
and then, sooner or later. by a united
effort the country will get rid Of the IL
legitimate and tyrannous business
methods OF the Standard OIL trust.

DishonorabIe and Unjust Attacks on Governor
Otero and Superintendent Bursum.

The Las Vegas daily, in recent issues,
attacks Governor Otero and Superin-
tendent Bursum, charging them with
manipulating the penitentiary commits
sion in the matter of awards and in the
administration of the prison, and init
mating that corruption and dishonesty
were rife in the management of the
penitentiary. 1t Is patent to any of
a fair mind and who has taken the
trouble to post himself on p~enitentiary
affairs that the institution is being hon.
estly and efficiently conducted to-day,
and has been so conducted since Mr..
Bursum took charge, and, in fact, bet
ter and more economically and in a
more efficient manner than ever in it's
history.
AS to the charge against Governor
Otero, the facts are these: The governor
has never in any manner, shape or form
endeavored to influence the members
of the board as to their duties, and as
to the award of contracts for peniten-
lluI oupPIiCo. i laS IlCNtl, uiLCClly
or indirectly, intimated to any member
Of the board how he should act or vote,
or what he should do in his official ca
pacity; he appointed these commission
ers, having the best interests of the ter
ritory at heart, and believing them to
be the proper men for the positions. The
charge that he has or had anything to
do with their actions in the matter of
awarding contracts or in the conduct
Of the board is absolutely and unquali-
fiedly false, born in venom and brought
forth as a matter of personal hatred,
enmity and jealousy.
The charges against Superintendent
Bursum are ludicrous and fall to the
ground of their own weight. The specific
charge as to the award of the last con-
tracts Is disproved by the fact that he
was not here for a week before and a
week after the contracts were let, knew
nothing of the matter and never knew
the result until he saw it in print in this
journal, while in the southern part of
the territory. That the superintendent
Is an honest and capable official is well
known and fully proven by his past rec
ord as a man, as a citizen and as an
official. For four years he was the best
sheriff Socorro county has ever had, and
while serving as a member of the legis-
lative council in the thirty-third legis-
lature he was considered one ri the
ablest. most public spirited and honest
members Of the body.
These are the facts, and the New
Mexican does not hesitate to publish
them. The attacks on these officials are
d~ishonorable and not founded on facts
nor based on truth.

The Santa Fee Railroad Company is
bound to help in the development of the

announced another one of it's popular
mining excursions for the sake Of max
ing investors and miners outside of the
territory acquainted with the great
mining opportunities which exist in the
territory. The Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany has done much, and it continues
to do much, for the upbuilding Of New
Mexico. OF course, it is for it's own
interests that this is done, but incident
ally everybody else in the territory is
benefited by this. There are many cor
porations which are not as f~arsighted
as this.

The office of census enumerator is not
a fat political job. The pay received will
make no M rich, and the employment
lasts only a few weeks. No wonder that
all over the country many enumerators
are resigning because they had not

the remuneration they were to receive.
Vacancies are, however, rapidly filled,

legislation of the last legislature, but
thus far they have not succeeded. The

success, but even in this the fault-ind-

Now when Jacob saw there was corn
in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Be-

you thither and buy for us from thence.
And they did so and brought corn in

Jacob, how old art thou? And Jacob
said, the days OF the years of my pilgrim
age are an hundred and thirty years.
And the time drew near that Jacob
must die. And he bowed himself upon
the beds head. And one told Jacob and
said, behold they son Joseph cometh unto
thee: and he strengthened himself and
sat upon the bed. And JACOB said unto
him, God Almighty hath blessed me, the
God before whom my fathers did walk,
He hath fed me all my life long unto this
day, He hath redeemed me from all evil.
And Jacob called unto his sons, and
said, gather yourselves together, ye sons
of Jacob and bearken unto Israel your
father. Let your hands be made strong
by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob.
Even the God of thy father who shall
keep thee.
And he said unto Joseph this was

gathered unto his people.

PHCfkeIls,

Mrs Marguerite Eleanor Pickells, wife
of the Rev. DR.. Pickells, who has been for
some time rector of st. Andrews church,
died about O'Clock yesterday morning.
at the residence of the Burton sisters,
where she and her husband have made
their home since coming to St. Johns
bury, having won the high esteem Of
the entire household. Mrs. Pickells
death was painless and quiet-a falling
asleep. For some years her health had
been fral and uncertain, but during the
last two years the malady which ended
her life had developed seriously. While her
husband was i'll in March, her strength
was overtaxe1 and she herself fell i'll,
and, with the exception of a brief period
of improvement, continued to grow
worse.
Mrs. Pickells was born in Manchester,
England, in 1S4S, and was married in
1874. She came first to this country
with her husband and family in 1890,
and eventually settled at Millbrook,
New York, where her husband was rec.
tor of Grace Episcopal church for FIVE
years. At the end Of that period the
whole family removed to New York city
and two years later DIR. and Mrs. PickeiIs
returned to England. At the end of last
year they came back to this country and

Pass it On.

Frequently, in reading, we come across
a good story, bright anecdote, a help
full thought, which we forget almost as
soon as we have read it. At the moment
we thought of some friend who would
enjoy it, too, but by the time we see the
friend all recollection of it is gone. One
woman's way is to cut out such passages
at the time, provided they are in papers
which are to be destroyed, otherwise
to mark them with blue pencil or copy
them on slip of paper. The item is
then passed on to the friend who will be
particularly interested in it, and who is
sure to appreciate the thoughtfulness
which preserved it. Perhaps the anec-
dote or sentence goes far away in let
ter; perhaps it is placed on the desk or
dressing table of some member of the
family perhaps it is part OF the well
come which awaits guest as she enters
her room. In any case, it has served a
double purpose. 1t has not only inter-
ested, amused or cheered the one who dis
covered it, but the sharing it with an:
other has impressed it upon both minds
and has added a link to the chain which
binds them to each other Congrega-
tionalist.

RECENT DEATHS.
Lncnh Idle.

One who had for many years been a
prominent figure in the business life of
Caledonia county, and to whom had
been granted such a retrospect as is
granted to but a few of us, passed away
on Thursday afternoon last. Jacob Ide
was in his Gath year, but retained his
faculties to remarkable degree and was
keenly interested, up to the very last, in
all that was going on at home and in
the rest of the world.
Mr.. Ide was born at East Lyndon in
October, 1906. He was ofgood old Pu-
ritan stock, and direct descendant from
Nicholas Ide, of Rehobeth, Mass, (whatis
now East Providence, R. IT, who was one
of the commissioners who arranged terms
of peace at the close of the first war with
that Indian monarch. 1t is somewhat
interesting to note, in this connection,
that son OF the subject of this sketch
Hon. Henry c. Ide) has been called on
twice to treat, in behalf of our govern
ment, with savage or semi-civilized peo-
pies. In 1918 Mr.. Ide's father, Timothy,
moved to Passumpsic, and here our
friend lived for many years, engaged in
the milling business, with the exception
of about six months experience as a
school teacher, having himself been edu-

James HI. Holder.

The death of James H. Holder of Cliff
street, which occurred early Thursday
morning, brought deep sorrow not only
to his immediate family, but to a large
number of friends and acquaintance
who had hoped, after the crisis was
thought to have passed, for his speedy
recovery. Mr.. Holder was taken i'll
with pneumonia on Saturday; his wife
was taken on Monday following, and is
still seriously ill, though considered on
the gain. She was not in condition to
be told of her husbands death until Sun
day, but bore the sad news bravely.
Mr.. Holder was 55 years old;
born at Sherbrooke, P. O.; came
here to live when two years of age,
and had resided here ever since,
being connected with the scale works
for more than 35 years. Thirty-one
years ago he married Miss Ella Locklin
of Lyndon. He was skillful workman,
held the good will Of his associates in
business and social circles; had been
a member of the Free Baptist
church for 25 years, and was promi-
nent among the Masonic fraternity, being
Past Master of Passumpsic Lodge and
Past Commander of Palestine Com
mandery. Besides his wife, three daugh-
tiers survive him-Mrs. w. W. Blodgett
and Mrs. c. E. Day of st Johnsbury
and Mrs. A. D. Lamson of Roxbury
Mass. one brother Henry A. Holder,
and two sisters, Miss Belle Holder and
Mrs. c. W. Conley of this village.
The funeral was held on Friday after
noon at the residence of his brother
Rev. G. c. Waterman officiating
with singing by the Methodist church
choir. Masonic services were held al
the grave.
