That many Roswell people love the
name of George Washington n are
anxious to show honor to the memo
ry of his great work, was indicated
last night when the large auditorium
at the NJ. E. Church, South, would
not hold the crowd that came out to
attend the union meeting of the
churches that vas arranged to fitting
ly observe the first Presidents birth
day. The sliding doors between the
auditorium and lecture room had to
be thrown open to make room for
the audience.
Rev. S. r. Twitty, pastor of the
Southern NJ. E. church, presided over
the meeting, each of the other minis
tiers of the city taking part in the
program The opening number was a
a son by the congregation, "Our Ma

gave an Grafton on Washington that
greatly pleased all. 1t was short, but
was well prepared, gave out beauti-
full thought and was rendered in an
oratorically pleasing manner.
Several three-minute papers were
delivered by teachers in the schools.
Miss Mamie Spencer spoke of the
faith of Washington, showing that
his great success was due in a large
measure to his unf1agging faith in
his cause. his country and his God.
1t was this faith, she said, hat in
spired his men to greater deeds.
Miss Myrtle Decker gave a select
reading on Patriotism" having chang
ed her subject from the nounc
program.
Miss Margaret Barrett spoke of
Washington as a suitable character
and model for all young men of the
nation to use as a pattern in shap-
ing their lives.
Prof. Thompson had been given the
subject of The Character of Wash
ington." and he read an extract from
Henry Cabot Lodges Life of Wash
ington." in which it was stated that
after a careful study the writer was
unable to find any flaw in the great
patriots character.
Prof. Powell read many wise say
ings of the great leader and he gave
SO many good things from his pen,
it is impossible to reproduce the
thought. From what Prof. Powell said
Washington would be placed in Am

CLARK ON NEW MEXICO

The following is an extract from
the speech of Senator Clark Of Mon
tana, as published in the Congress
ional Record:
1.-The Senator from Wisconsin (Mr.
Spooner) has depicted a doleful story
of the conditions which exist in New
Mexico. II we should depend upon
what he stated to be true as to the
people of the Territory. I would ad-
NIT that they were not entitled to
statehood. The Senator. however, ap-
pears to have but little knowledge Of
conditions in that Territory. There
are more churches and fewer prisons
than are usually found in a frontier
Territory. The native Mexican people
are Industrious, law-abiding and re-
ligious; they constitute about five
eighths of the population; their chill
lish language, and are AS becoming
A~mericanized. The other three
eighths are good enterprising Ameri-
cans, who had the energy and ambi-
ton to push out upon the frontier
and build up homes for themselves:
and these alone constitute a sufic-
lent population (about 175.0O0) TO
warrant their enjoying the privileges
of statehood.
"Mr. President, an attempt has
been made to belittle the resources
of that Territory. New Mexico con-
tains very extensive areas of land
which are underlaid with valuable
deposits of coal. What made the
wealth and prosperity of the grand
old state of Pennsylvania but its
magnificent mines of iron and coal?
When the coal mines of New Mexico
are developed and more railroads
are built this industry alone will give
employment to several hundred thou
sand people. Today New Mexico is
supplying the fuel for the railroads,
mines and smelters of Arizona, also
for parts of Texas and old Mexico,
n it is shipping large quantities of
coal to California for domestic pur-
poses. Moreover. it has extensive
mines Of lead, silver and gold: and
sheep and cattle raising are great
and prosperous industries. The Terri
tory is rich in all the elements of
wealth, and it requires no stretch of
the imagination as to the future pos
sibilities to demonstrate that it is to
day worthy to be admitted into the
sisterhood of states.

have materially changed the complexion
OF things Indeed until then the clam

90 effective was Wiltse's pitching In
the ninth he seemed 10 weaken. but man
aged TO win out by the skin OF his teeth.
Nops was very effective also. and at least
two OF Baltimores runs can be attributed
TO an unfortunate throw OF a bupt by
Thomas. The fielding was for the most
part ordinary on both sides. and called
for no particular briliancy.
Baltimore broke the ice at the start.

like a wild pitch. and McAleeses bunt
went safe. ]. Kelly sacrificed. on Jor-

nothing more doing. Providence sue
ceeded by a couple OF singles In getting
Q runner on third and second in the sec

The next runs were Baltimore's, but
they didn't come until the sixth, when
Kelly dropped a hunt In front of the plate,
and though Thomas had plenty OF time
for the throw he fred the ball far over
