DEMlNG A BIG CATTLE
SHIPPING POINT

The Headlight has always contend
ed that Deming. as a shipping point
for cattle, would compare fayorably,
If not excel any other place in South
western New Mexico, but until this
year we have never taken the trOu-
BILE TO compile the statistics and pub
lish the total amount of shipments,
Heretofore, We have simply given the
amounts shipped at different times,
as we could catch them, but this year
we waited until the cattle were all
shipped, and are now in a position to
give to our readers the total, which
makes a very good showing. not only
in numbers, but in the amount Of cash
which has been paid out through the
banks in this city and distributed
through the various channels of
trade. one merchant alone in this city

acted a cash business Of $500.

county.
In 1903 this county had 100 pianos.
In 1904 there were 1S1 pianos listed.

Growing in Value.
Land in the wheat belt has advanced
so per cen in value in the last four
years. 1t is now worth from 80 to
SIS per acre. The little two-room
cottages are being replaced by mod
ern homes, and new, red barns are
seen everywhere. The farmer is ecu
eating his children. He gets at least
one daily paper. Almost every home
has a telephone and is reached by a
rural mail route.
1t costs Sc an acre, on an average,
to produce Kansas wheat. The aver
age yield is about Is bushels to the
acre. At sixty cents per bushel, this
leaves a net profit of SO per acre. The
small farmer who only grows 100 or
SO acres does nearly all the work him
self, and produces enough other farm
products to keep himself and family.
Hence all his wheat money can be

Harvesting is done with either

quicker, but requires more labor to

justify insurance at this rate.

a very nea little sum TO be dis

The number Of cattle shipped from
this point during the months of May

tically all OF the spring shipment, was
1871 head, which at $l5 per head,
average, gives $656,715 in cash.
The shipment this year will not
compare ~fayorably with those of past

Mr.. McCask rim and the Argus.

The Argus is opposed TO demo
cratic Endorsement OF George w Nc
CaskTin'S congressional aspirations
for several reasons. The Argus does
not regard Mr. McCaskrin as qualified
politically for such an evidence of con
fidence on the part OF the democratic
party nor does il consider him so much
of success as an independent in pub
lie office as 10 lead a great party TO
ignore its duty TO itself and its own
organization and give countenance 10
his notions. The Argus has never seen
occasion to- uphold Mr.. McCaskrin's in
dependent political ambitions and in
none Of his various campaigns has il
given him its support, although treat
ing him with fairness. IL perhaps
would have been popular for The Argus
TO have given counsel favorable 10 his
Endorsement for the mayoralty last
spring owing to the peculiar conditions
then prevailing. But il insisted then
as il does now. that nothing is to be
gained by any political organization in
suTrendering 10 a candidate FOR Office
who simply blows his own horn There
comes along once in a while great
political crisis when the people eschew
party lines and turn To the man OF indie
pendent convictions and ask him 10
serve them. Then il is the people seek

Insurance Magnate McCall's Re
spOnsibiIify.

John \. McCall's testimony before
the New York insurance investigation
committee has been important in one
Darticular-it fixes definitely the re-
sponsibility for the New York Life
company's contributions to the nation
al republican campaign fund in 1896,
1900 and 1904. Mr.. Mccall sayszthat
that responsibility is his own. that the
governing board of the company was
not consulted. that at most Vice Pres
ident George w Perkins shared it with
him. and that if he had not been COM
petent TO judge and to take the respon-
sibility without consulting any other
part of the company's management he
would not be fit for the position he
holds II might be asked in passing.
if the Mccall assumption of absolute
power in the presidency of the com
pany is right. of what use are the di-
rectors and other officers and mana
gers of the company, and whether they
may not as well be abolished or re-
duced TO the performance of merely
clerical functions But the point now
To be attended TO is that Mr.. Mccall
alone. or in company with George w.
Perkins. invaded the insurance trust
fund at three different times. took
therefrom total of about $3.50 900. and
turned the money over to campaign
committee to be used in influencing
votes. Thus having the responsibility
fixed. il becomes easy to direct pro-
ceedings TO enforce restitution and in
flict such other punishment as the law
may permit. And that proceedings of
this character are to be speedily resti-
tuted ought 30 be regarded as a matter
of course. Mr.. Mccall had no warrant
either in statute or common law To do
as he did. and he knows il. But il
would not be a greater insult to his
intelligence to suppose that he was ig
norang OF this fact than TO suppose he
is sincere in saying that he believes he
did right. or believes that he could
properly assume the function of doing
the political thinking of the policy
holders; and his attitude becomes posi-
lively impudent when he declares that
he did not care-that il could not legi-
timately matter-what any of the poll
cyholders might think of the proceed |
ing
For. as the Springfield Republican |

Argus has not been a supporter of Mr..
McCaskrin. il has not believed in put
ting obstacles in the way of his sue
cess in serving the people who had
reposed confidence in him. Immedi-
ately following his election last spring
this paper extended its good wishes,
and urged that he be accorded all the
encouragement possible in giving TO
Rock Island a wise and successful ad-
minstration. When he delayed in his
committee appointments, the disadvan-
tage that the city was suffering IN
der was commented upon. When he
made the greatest error of his admins
tration by tampering with the paid fire
department and making its head re-
ward for political favor. he was freely
criticised: and beyond this his cOntin-
ued neglect in filling the important de-
partmental heads. has been a subject
of frequent discussion on the part of
The Argus.
On the other hand where he has
made strong appointments, as he did
both in the choice of J. W. Cavanaugh
as superintendent of waterworks, and
II. II. Hull as superintendent of streets,
than which no more popular appoint
ments could have been made, he was
commended. and while both were es-
pecially pleasing to The Argus. neither
involved obligation so far as this paper
is concerned Mr. McCaskrin gained
the advantage of the services of the
best men he could, have found, and so
did the city. 1t is only to be regretted
- h, Io- ha or of
at his command as acceptably. re-
gardless of politics.
The Argus position relative TO Mr..
McCaskrin and the democratic congress
sional nomination, implies no personal
hostility or feeling. This was shown
when il took it's stand a short time
since against the movement, back of
which existed a most unholy cOnspi-
racy. although crushed in its incipien-
cy. 10 impeach him. Such an act and
such an outrage. when all that was
concerned in it was exposed would have
aroused the righteous indignation of
the people TO an extent unknown be-
fore. and il is believed now many of
the aldermen who have since realized
the nature of the undertaking into
which they were being ensnared.
though innocently on their part. are
heartily glad that It did not become ne
cessary to disclose the real elements
interested in the proceeding. Nothing
can be gained by yielding TO the sug-
gestions of malice and grudge in put
ting any man down, and no man will
ever triumph over another by seeking
TO bring disgrace upon hiI. Mr.. Nc
Caskrin won friends by the stand he
took which aroused the enmity to-
ward him.s Yet in numerous other in
stances he has not been success as
mayor.
But regardless OF all the circum-
stances attending his somewhat re-
markable political career. The Argus
believes he is still far short of the ideal
candidate or the ideal public Official.
and hence for its part is no. and never
has been favorable TO his being placed
on democratic ticket.
