INSURANCE AND POLITICS.

There are some objections to the
national control of insurance. Such
a measure would not be In strict ac.
cordance with the principles in which
the American people affect to believe.
Still, the chances are that the major
ity Of the people In this country are
willing to admit we have failed as a
people in carrying out some Of the
principles in which we believe and
that a little more paternalism on the
part Of the government would serve
4 useful purpose at least until we can
be trusted with our W interests
The American people have shown
themselves too easy. In Insurance,
though every policy holder in the old
line companies has a vote. yet he
willingly allows a few magnates to
form an ~ollgarchy. So In national
politics, we cheerfully stand by while
a ~rascally speaker and a few bench
men seize the power that belongs to
the people.

ANOTHER CARPET sAccER.

President Roosevelt has once more
violated the principle Of home rule
BY appointing a carpet Dagger as
Judge In Arizona. Investigation will
doubtless show that the new man is
an ex-rough rider. a relative or some
personal friend. New Mexicans and
Arizonans admire President Roosevelt
and fully appreciate his greatness
and fearlessness, but they do not ap'
~preciate his readiness to make the
territories a dumping ground for his
personal and political friends when
we have men at home who are quail
fed to MI every position. II the peo-
pie OF Arizona had been consulted a.

THE CAMPBELL SYSTEM.

In western Kansas and Nebraska
In the most arid regions ~ Colorado
and Texas and Wyoming, ana even Ia
some parts OF New Mexico and Arr
IONA. the Campbell method of soil pre-
paralion has been followed with the
greatest success. The method con
sists of nothing more than careful
and frequent manipulalions OF the soil
and a sort of dust covering for the
seed, thus ensurlng the retention OF
the moisture, The frequent disturb
ing Of the soil allows every particle
Of moisture to expend Its force.
On the stakcd plains OF Texas, Mr..
Campbell Is now carrying forward an
experiment on a large scale which
Is proving successful In the highest
degree. But On those barren plains
the soil Is not as deep o as coed
as on the fallow lands surrounding
Las Vegas. Not a third OF the amount
of moisture falls that is precipitated
In Las Vegas. II the Campbell method
succeeds there, then a fortiorl, as the
lawyers say. II must succeed here.
II Is true that last year so much
rain fell and 1t was SO evenly dis
tributed. that crops were raised with
out irrigation In all the surrounding
country. But such favorable condi
tons cannot be expected each year
The ordinary methods of cultivation
will not succeed during the average
years. The application Of the Camp
bell method, however, will ensure the
growth of excellent crops OF grains
vegetables and hay any year withou
irrigation. The cost OF the applica
ton of this method Is less than thu
cost Of irrigation. 1t needs but som
pioneer to lead the way and cultiva
ton by the Campbell system vii

country from an uncertain pasture |

SEPARATE STATEHOOD OUTLOOK

The residents OF New Mexico who
are working for joint statehood have
not a vestige Of u chance OF securing
the fulfllment OF their wishes. but
they are endangering the enactment
of any KIM of statehood legislation.
There Is a possibility that the con
gress OF the United States may pass
a separate statehood bill at the next
session and 1t Is certain II they do,
It will be ratified by the people OF the
territories. There Is no more
than a remote chance that a
Joint statehood bill will pass and II
Is certain that. II II does 1t vii,
not be accepted by the people Of the
territories.
A dispatch published by The Optic
today, which appeared In the Albu
querque Journal and other papers yes
terday, and which Is undoubtedly a
statement Of fact, says that every
member OF the congressional party
now In Arizona, except Congressman
Tawney. has expressed himself as in
favor Of separate statehood for Ari
zOna. There Is no longer reason I.
entertain a doubt that these same
congressman are in favor Of separate
statehood for New Mexico.
And these are men who. with one
exception. voted last year for the
Joint statehood bill. To be sure. some
OF them would have voted for the
bill as amended by the senate had
not the tyrannical actions Of the
speaker taken from them the oppor
tunity.
But these congressman, having beer
afforded q better opportunity for be
coming familiar with the true con
ditiong OF both territories than any
other congressional party that ever
came west, are now outspoken II
their opinions. They wfl never vote
for anything but separate statehood
and they will use their influence with
their associates. Why vii the
advocates OF joint statehood not
unite with the rest of the statehood
forces and make an erort to secure
separate statehood? In the majority
OF cases the answer is. because the,
are afraid separate statehood will win
In a few other cases joint statehcos
advocates undoubtedly hold the be
lief that the issue is between join
statehood and no statehood.
There was never more hope Of Sc
curing separate statehood than al
present. II the struggle fails, the
blame will rest upon the joint state
hood people.

The First Meerschnum.

A shoemaker, KavOl Kowates. who
in 1923 lived at Pesth. the capital Of
Hungary, smoked the first meerschaum
pipe. Besides being shoemaker, how
ever, he was one Of natures handi-
craftsmen, being gifted with an intui-
tive genius for carving in wood and
other material. This brought him into
contact with Count Andrassy. with
whom he became a great favorlte. The
count on his return from a mission to
Turkey brought with him piece Of
whitish clay. which had been present
ed to him as a curiosity on account of
its extraordinary light, specific gravity.
1t struck the shoemaker that. being
porous, it must be we'll adapted for
pipes. as it would absorb the nicotine.
The experiment was tried. and Kavol
cut pipe for the count and one for
himself. This first meerschaum pipe
made and smoked by Kavol Kowates
has been preserved in the museum at
PeSth.

Hugh Ralph Simmons.
s~N~~~~~~~~~~~N~S

Hugh Ralph Simmons, son of the
late Captain B. F. Simmons, was born
in Pensacola the 9th of February, 1879
On last Monday afternoon. January
23rd, his pure spirit passed from earth.
Just entered upon manhood with
life's promise all before him, the pres
ent serene, the past undimmed, our
limited vision sees in his death only a
bright young life laid waste, but with
deeper insight we might find mercy in
the guiding hand.
So quietly Hugh moved among us
that perhaps all did not know his high
worth, or realize those sterling quail
ties that made him beloved of his
friends, the idol of his home, the joy
and sunshine of his mothers life. His
heart was the home of truth and honor,
his standards high, his ideals pure, his
gentle kindness of spirit unfailing.
In his friendships he was loyal and
true, and the playmates of childhood,
the comrades of his youth, were those
who gathered about his open grave,
with bowed heads and sorrOwing
hearts, to offer the last sad tribute of
love and esteem.
Those who knew him best, loved him
best, and his loss leaves in their hearts
and memories a place no other can
fila place that will always be sa-
credly his-"and with God be the
rest"

HAHT-AvERY.

At Athens. Ca, on January %, the
marriage Of Miss Ora Hart and Mr..
John Campbell Avery, Jr., of Pensaco.
Ia, Fla, was solemnized in the pres
ence OF a large and brilliant assem-
blage of the friends OF the bride and
groom.
Mr.. Avery, the groom, is an alumnus
Of the university and has endeared
himself to many Athenians by his ster-
ling qualities. He Is the son of Mr..
]. c. Avery, of Pensacola, Fla.
The bride is generally conceded TO
be one of the most popular young Ia
dies who has ever graced Athens So
ciety.
The church, which was beautifully
decorated for the occasion by her low
ing friends, gave evidence OF the es-
teen in which she is held.
The altar was a bower of green
smilax and the waxen candles in sill
yer cRndelabra shining here and there
through garlands of green made a
.chaste and beautiful picture.
At the appointed hour the strains
Of the wedding march announced the
arrival of the bridal party. AS the
organ pealed forth the first brides
maid, Miss Dorothy Freeman, Of To.
ledo, o., and first cousin of the
bride, came slowly down the aisle.
Her becoming dress was white crepe
de chine, and she carried an armful
of white carnations.
Then came the other maids in cou-
pies. They were Misses Edna Avery
of Pensacola, Fla; Mary Hill, Matte
Wilson DuBose, Mary Gerdine, Annie
B. PhiniZy, Nancy Benedict, Rosina
White, Of Athens, and Miss Anna
Lewis, of GreenesbosO.
All these either wore white crepe
de chine or white null dresses, which
were daintily made with high necks
and elbow sleeves, and round skirts.
The maids carried white carnations.
The maid of honor. Miss jamie Mil
Ter, OF Union Point, preceded the bride
and wore pink NULL Her flowers were
pink carnations.
Then came the lovely bride leaning
on the arm Of her father, Mr.. ]. F.
Hart.
Her long tull veil was held in place
with the same spray of orange bios
SONS that graced her mothers we'd
ding veil. Her dress, an exquisite
creation Of white Duchesse satin made
entraine, was hand embroidered in
marguerites and seed pearls.
The front panels of the dress were
embroidered in the marguerites and
pearls and the bodice was also stud
ded with the same flowers and seed
pearls. An exquisite bertha of rose
point lace (the gift Of the brides
mother) also adorned the bodice. The
