cigarettes not much else should be
expected of boys.
Every year brings about some new
move against cigarette smokers. With
some big railroads rules have been
adopted whereby cigarette smokers
cannot secure positions as clerks
bookkeepers and like positions. And
with many banks throughout the ma
ton cigarette smokers can't secure
positions; also with many dry goods
and other mercantile establishments
rules have been adopted to prevent
employment to cigarette fiends
The same prohibitive cigarette rules
have been enforced in many large
printing establishments, and so on
all down the business line cigarette
smokers are denied work.
The law to prohibit boys from Sc
tobacco and cigarette papers
should be enforced just as much as
the law to prohibit minors from Sc
intoxicating liquors.

JOHN c. PECK.

Today appears the announcement of
John C. Peck as a candidate for re-
election to the Office of county asses
sor subject to the decision of the
Democratic primaries. Mr.. Peck has
served in this Office for two terms,
and by nature and training he is
well adapted to the work. The citi-
zens Of the county realize hat in
Mr.. Peck they have a model asses
sol His official record has been
without a flaw. C. v. Stafford, the
travelling Territorial Auditor, after
carefully going over Mr.. Peck's tax
schedules and reports said that there
not a mistake In all the reports,
and passed the higher compliment
by saying that they were the neatest
and best kept of any in the Territory.
This coming from a man whose bust
ness it is to pass on the work of
county officials speaks of itself for
Mr.. Peck's capability and thorough
in his work.
Mr.. Peck was born in Gonzales,
in 1870. He was reared in
Texas and completed his schooling
in Louisville, Kentucky. He came to
New Mexico in 1892. He was chief
deputy sheriff under Sheriff Atkin-
son, and special deputy under Sheriff
Haynes. This has given Mr.. Peck a
with the county. which is
most useful in the Office.
The vast area of the county is
such that only a man young in years
Ind rich in this experience could
get over the ground quickly and
make sure that all taxable property
rad been listed. The people are not
accommodating in coming

perty that should be on the books.
Mr.. Peck has been over the county
so many times that it is a familiar
thing to him. Everybody in the coun-
ty knows him and likes him too, and
a popular officer has a much easier
time giving good service than one
whom the people do not like. This
is especially true in the Office he
holds, and the way in which he con-
ducts it. The whole county and ter
ritorial machinery depends upon the
proper assessment and collection of
the taxes, and all relations of the cit
liens to the government as well. The
people have a model assessor in Mr..
Peck, and know that his record, like
the man, is clean. Mr.. Peck will prob
ably have no opposition for the office.

THE RECORD believes

THE RECORD believes it would
be advisable to call a meeting of the
citizens under the auspices either of
the Chamber of Commerce or the
Roswell Club or both and take such
action that would farther press our
claims for the immediate building of
the reservoir. Better. far better. had
a reservoir never been talked of than
for us to lose it now.

THE RESERVOIR PROPOSITION

THE RECORD gave the facts yes
terday as they exist in regard to the
Hondo Reservoir. There is no use
in giving away to disappointment.
The thing to do is by every means,
and through every channel to bring
pressure to bear on the Department
at Washington. At the same time it
should be attended to and watched
closely that there is no "hocus-pocus"
work done right here at home. From
what is known here, the engineering
difficulties are not insumountable. If
the government wills it, there a
be a a found to build it. THE
RECORD yet believes that the res
ervoir will be built, but the Depart
ment at Washington should be con-
stantly reminded of the existence of
the Rio Hondo, and the desire of our
people that the reservoir be built.
For in no other place could a quarter
of a million dollars be spent with
better results t o a larger number of
people than right here.

AS temporary chairman of the
national convention,
Elihu Root said that by reason of
the aggressiveness Of the Roosevelt
administration there is ''no longer
any serious complaint OF trust ex-
action" Mr.. Root added: s'No
investment in lawful business has
been jeopardized, no fair and hon
est enterprise has been injured,
but it is certain that wherever the
constitutional power of the nation
al government reaches trusts are
being practically regulated and
curbed within lawful bounds as
they never have been before, and
the men OF small capital are finding
in the efficiency and skill of the
national department Of justice a
protection that they never had be-
fore against the crushing effect Of
unlawful combinations"

ment, the Washington Post, that
can not, at least, be said to be
prejudiced against the Republican
party, says; "There is nothing in

Courts and Editors.

The recent decision of United
States Circuit Court Judge Pritch-
ard upholding the right of news
paper editors to criticise the find
ings of a court is of interest.
The editor of a New York state
newspaper had printed severe ar
raignment of the decision of a dis
trict judge. The judge fined the
editor $4,000. The editor refused
to pay and was sent to Jail. He
sued out a habeas corpus and the
case came before Judge Pritchard,
who declared the judgment of the
lower court void and dismissed the
defendant.
In the course of his decision
Judge Pritchard said:
"Thatnewspapers sometimes en-
gage in unwarranted criticism of
the courts cannot be denied. In
some instances they construe the
liberty of the press as a license to
authorize them to engage in whole
sale abuse of the court, but these
instances are rare and do not war
rant departure from the we'll set
tied principles of the law as declar-
ed by congress and construed by
the courts.
eff judges charged with the ad-
ministration of the law are not to
be criticised on account of their
official conduct, the liberty of the
press is abridged and the rights of
individuals are imperiled."
0 righteous Judge!
The tendency toward the limiting
of the liberty of the press by re-
straining it's criticism of public Of
ficials needs to be corrected. Car
ried to it's logical conclusion, it
would put an end to individual
liberty.
Free speech and the liberty of
the press are fundamentals in our
government.
These constitutional rights are
sufficiently hedged about by limi-
tations. Indeed the strict con-
struction of the libel laws of some
states would put an embargo on
legitimate newspaper expression.
Besides
No sane editor will presume to
justified in public opinion. I'm
warranted attacks upon the ju-
dietary react severely.
But
Judges are not to be put upon
pedestals as above and beyond re-
view by press. There is no divin-
ity that doth hedge them about

The Republics Lack Of Honor.

At the taking of testimony before
the credentials committee in Jeffer-
son City, folk witness, Mr.. Cum
stated that James A.
Graham, managing editor of the
St. Louis Republic, said "that a man
was blamed fool to be fair to the
other side in politics." This shows
what Mr.. Graham is, and why he
pays no attention to the truth in his
editorials and prevents his news
gatherers from correctly reporting
the happenings of the day when
politics is involved. 1t will be re-
membered that it was in this city
that his political reporter, MIR. Bur-
ton, stated, when chided about not
correctly reporting the political
happenings ''that he reported them
to suit Mr.. Graham and had to do 1t
to hold his job" This is the man
and the paper that prates about
honor, justice and truth, and pre-
tends to lecture honest people for
not obeying it's hypocritical be-
hests. The sooner the Democracy
of this state recognizes the utter
unreliability and willful malicious
ness of the Republic the better will
lit be for the party.-Moberly Demo
