erelgnty Of the People Over All Corporations and

served Praise for President Roosevelt

Des Moines, Iowa, July 3O.-Wth the
platform expression regarding the tariff
practically settled, the Republican state
convention had simple task to select
candidates for clerk of the supreme
court, reporter of the supreme court and
railroad commissioner. Congressman
Walter |. Smith said:
"We have seen the great, courageous
and honest man who occupies the white
house, attack the Northern Securities
and the beef trust, under the law as it
is, and it will require something more
ocratic statesmen to convince the Ameri-
can people that the fight thus instituted
is not battle to DEATH
As result of the congressional cauc-
uses of this morning the committee on
resolutions will report for the reatlirma-
tion of the Cedar Rapids trust plank,
which asserts the sovereignty of the
people over all corporations and aggrc-
cations of capital. 1t favors such
amendments of the interstate commerce
act as will more fully carry out its pro-
hbition of discrimination in rate making,
and any modification of the tariff sched-
ules that may be required to prevent
their affording shelter to monopoly.
At the conclusion of Judge Smiths
address the convention adjourned until
2o'clock.
Edward G. Roach, of Rock Rapids,
was chosen permanent chairman.
The committee on resolutions heartily
endorses President Roosevelt, especially
his reciprocity relations with Cuba, and
looks upon his election in 1904 as a
''foreshadowed event, demanded by all
people"

The theft of 1900 pounds of barbed
wire from the warehouse of the Tracy

place was daring piece of work by
some unknown parties. A wagon was
used for the work and the thieves got
away without leaving a clew.
The country has had the best soaking
it has received in fifteen years and the
ranchmen are happy. The downpour
was continuous and lasted for several
days. The total rainfall has been 1O.4
inches.
The local rains somewhat scared the
peachmen in this vicinity but good
authority has it that no damage was
done. However the fruit will ripen
much quicker than it otherwise would
have and just as soon as the sun comes
out with its warm rays, the crop will
come fast.
William Merchant, for many years

Its importance, Especially to the West and It's Inter

Editor of the New Mexican.
the importance of a good attendance
from the territory at the Trans-Missis-
sippi congress this year This is always
the most important OF the annual con-
crosses and conventions. because it is
not confined to one subject, like those
of mining and irrigation, but every
question of western interest comes with
in its scope and receives careful con-
sideratlon.
1t has often been SAID that more
comprehensive knowledge of western
affairs can be obtained in the four days
session OF this congress than by year
of reading and study, because each topic
is treated by the specialists who have
given it particular attention, and after
wards full discussion takes place, in
which all kinds of views are presented,
and from the whole the hearer can OBJ
tain volume and accuracy of informa-
tion not possible to be secured in anv
other way.
But this year it is particularly import
ant that we should make very credit
table showing. The congress will be
held in st. p u and large delegations
of l2aGIag men will be present from

including many senators and members
of congress. This presents the best
possible opportunity for making capital
for statehood. At eight successive con-
I'M
favorng statehood for New Mexico, and
they have always been passed; so that
this congress may be counted among our
most effective friends. But the subject
is now before the public more promi-
nently than heretofore, and the presence
Of strong, representative delegation of
our people will have most salutary
effect. 1t should include leading men
of both political parties, and business
men and influential citizens, who have
the respect and confidence of the con-
gress, and make friends for statehood
and remove preindices and opposition.
Those who have not attended hereto
fore will find it not only an instructive
but very agreeable OCCASION
The session will extend from Tuesday,
August 10, to Friday, August 22. Dele.
gates are appointed in the usual way by
governors, mayors, etc, and by COM
mercial bodies generally; and regular
membership can be obtained by the pay
ment of S..
Unfortunately the Republican terri
torial committee he's been called for the
22d, and unless this can be remedied it
may keep away number of influential
men, who are just the ones who should
attend the congress. Far more can
be done for statehood at st. Paul than
in any other way before the meeting of
and that is the paramount OBJ
ject just now.
