THE BURMESE WOMAN.
With All Her Failings, She Il Held
In High Esteem.

with All Her Failings, She Il Held
In High Esteem.
Burma, as in many other things"
writes V. c. Scott in his book 1.-THE
Silken East" ''is in advance of more
reputedly civilized countries in the
status it accords to it's women. The
infant marriage and shutting up in
walled houses, the polygamy, the ha-
rems, the social punishment Of widows,
the denial of spiritual rights which pre-
vail In India are unknown in Burma.
Here women marry when they are of
age and after they have seen some
what Of the world. They marry, for
the most part, whomsoever they will
and from love. They are not handed
over as chattels to a man whom they
know not, but are courted and won.
The married women's property act has
In effect been established for centuries
In Burma. In this country, where the
women earn so much, the woman's
earnings are her own. Divorce is cas-
lily obtained, but seldom asked for. The
lightness Of the marriage laws, the
readiness Of the Burmese women to en-
ter into an easy alliance, shock the viz
tue Of the strenuous foreigner, but
within her ideals she is a perfectly
proper, modest and we'll hammered wO-
man.
"She has failings. Who has not? Her
practice Of chewing betel is inelegant
and destructive to her teeth; her voice
is apt under the pressure Of adversely
to be shrill; her keen business faculties
detract a trifle from the romance in
which, as in a halo, all women are en-
veloped; in old age she is very ugly,
and even in youth her nose is stumpy,
her lips little thick, her cheek bones
high and heavy-but these are eau
casian objections.
I'm the eyes Of the young men Of the
land the Burmese girl is a peerless
creature, and her influence over their
hearts and their passions is immense
What is more, few men in Burma ever
undertake anything Of magnitude with
out first seeking the able counsel of
their wives"

is ASPIRANT FOR THE APPOINT
MENT OF ASSISTANT UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY.
Will Make Fight Against Senator
Hutson Who Is Now Slated for
the Position.

There will probably be a warm con-
Spokane and Senator Charles T. Hut
son of Connell over the position of
assistant United States district at
torney, says the Review. While the
department of justice refuses to sane
as district attorney, it is we'll under
stood among his friends that he is a
candidate for second place under A.
G. Avery, who was appointed to the
place to which Mr.. Lindsey himself
aspired.
When the strength of Charles
Sweeney was thrown to S. H. Piles for
United States senator at Olympia
last winter, it was generally under
stood among politicians that Senator
Piles-and incidentally Senator An
keny-were to support Mr.. Lindsey
son for assistant district attorney. The
two senators were unable to land Mr..
Lindsey.
The friends of Senator Hutson con-
tend, however, that he is entitled to
second place. They say Mr.. Lindsey
was party to the program whereby
Mr.. Hutson was named for it original
ly, and that the fact that Mr.. Lindsey
! was unable to land first place should
not initiate against Senator Hutson
for the other place.
Originally Senator Hutson did not
want the place. He is doing well in
his law practice in Council, and is
interested in several business ventures
besides. But the politicians who were
in the Piles-Sweeny frame up slated
him for the place, and now that he is
in the fight his friends think he is en-
titled to win.
When United States District Attor-
ney Avery was asked about the matter
he said:
THE bill creating the new judicial
district did not specifically create the
Office of assistant United States dis
trict attorney. The creation of such
an Office is discretionary with the de-
partment of justice, but the recon-
mendation Of the district judge and of
the district attorney will probably gov
ern largely with the department.
after 1 have received my commits
sion and sized up the work of the Of
flee 1 will make up my mind as to
whether or not 1 need an assistant
The probability is that I will need one
will not known for several weeks,
however, what the work of the office
will be, and until then I cannot say
what 1 will recommend to the depart
ment."
The salary of the assistant district
attorney is from $1,000 to $4,000 a year,
the exact amount being fixed by the
department.

AN ODD VERDICT.
Why an Indians Horse Was Declar.
ed Winner of a Race.

Why an Indians Horse Was Declar-
ed Winner of a Race.
A man who has Travelled extensively
in the west among other anecdotes told
this one:
II was present at horse race in
New Mexico one day, where horse
belonging to an Indian had been
matched against swift footed pony
which was the property Of a cowboy.
The pony was known by the white
men to be a better racer than the other
animal, and the race had been ar
ranged for the purpose of fleeing the
redskins. An imprOmptu course Of a
mile had been arranged, and the race
was to be four times over the course
The cowboys gave their rider instruc-
tons to hold the pony back until the
finish, SO that they could induce the In
dams to make big bets.
"The Indians horse took the lead at
the start and retained it. The cowboys
offered more money as the race pro-
crossed, and the Indians, seeing their
horse in the lead, took the wagers. So
it went until three and a half miles
had been covered and the Indians had
bet all their possessions against the
money Of the cowboys. Then the cow
boy rider put the spurs to the pony.
He passed the horse In the last quarter
and crossed the line five lengths ahead.
There were three judges. Two Of
them were Indians, and the other was
a cowboy. We VIM cried the cow
boys and started to collect the bets,
when the Indian judges interposed.
"'Uh, uh,' they grunted, Indians
horse VIM
"'How's thatT shouted the cowboys.
Didn't the pony come in firstT
but Indians horse was in front
most Of the way. Indians win,' came
the final decision of the two Indian
judges, and there was no appeal

EN- TO PROTECT THE CAR
AT ST. PETERSBURG
Some Interesting Details Respecting
the Condition of Affairs at the
Russian Capital

PARIS, April 11.-Some interesting
details respecting the condition of the
cars life as they appear to his de-
tenders have been communicated to
the st. Petersburg correspondent of a
Paris journal through an officer of po-
lice. He says that his majestys view
is understood to be that all possible
precautions must be taken to thwart
criminal plans, not so much in his
own personal interest as for the sake
of those who are entirely dependent
upon him. Therefore, Czarskoye Selo,
from the railway station to the impe-
rial apartments, is filled with detectiv-
es spies and troops. Hard by the pal
ace are barracks in continuous commu-
nication with his majesty's household,
ready, could be summoned at a mo-
ments notice.
Inside the edifice itself are trusty
warriors, devoted body and soul, to
Gods Lieutenant, so that it is abso-
lutely impossible for any unauthorized
outsider to enter. And yet" says
this officer, the develish ingenuity Of
the terrorists makes one shudder. Re-
Gently, for instance, when we investi-
gated the case of the explosion in the
Hotel Bristol, our men made a discov
ery which mortified them, and indeed,
all of us. They found the costume
of a police officer-nothing more-but
what it signified was that the diboli-
cal criminal who was killed by his own
bomb intended to disguise himself as
a police officer, get close access to some
dignitary or other parsonage, and then
perpetrate horrible crime"

WelllngtOn's Reprimand.

During the occupation Of Paris by
the allies TN 1915 a French marshal
shouldered an English colonel from the
sidewalk into the street. Thereupon
the Englishman, being forbidden by a
general order of Wellington to give a
challenge to or accept one from a
French officer, did what he considered
the only thing left him, knocked the
Frenchman down and later refused
him satisfaction in a duel. The latter
then made a formal complaint to the
duke, who to soothe the marshaps feel
ings sent a written reprimand to the
colonel, but in it inclosed a cordial in
vitatiOn to dinner

The Arabs Pride In His Horse.


Arabian horses need no praise OF
the many beautiful stories told Of the
Arabs that given in the well known
poem "Achmid and His Mare" sur
passes all. Achmid had mare Of won
drous speed and guarded her with jeal-
Gus care. A robber stole her, leaped
upon her back and shouted to Achmid
to catch her If he could. Achmid and
his tribe mounted and went in hot pur-
suit. Suddenly the thought came to
him, IF l overtake my mare she Is
then outrun; she will lose her fame"
Shouting to the robber, "Quick, pinch
her carp he revealed the secret sign his
darling knew so well. Achmid lost his
mare, as he knew he would, but her
glory was secure
I knew that If her ear be nipped
The darling prize could never be out
stripped

CANNOT AVOID EXTRACTION
Robert ellis Will Be Taken Back tc
to Alaska to Stand Trial

OLYMPIA, April 1.-THE supreme
court has denied the application for
writ of I1abeas corpus and directed
the issuance of the remittitur forthwith
in the proceedings Instituted by Rob-
ert ellis to escape eXtradition to
Alaska. In denying the writ the SUI
preme court mas made an important
ruling in effect that the governor of
the state is authorized both by state
laws and the constitution and laws Of
the United States to honor the requi-
sition of the governor of Alaska for
the extradition of person charged
with crime A number of authorities
were cited to uphold the contention
that the district of Alaska did not fall
within the meaning of the law previd-
territories, Alaska being district like,
it was maintained, the District of Co.
lumbia. Quoting from vol. 80, U. S.
statutes, page 1928, the court points
out that the governor of Alaska is au-
thorized to honor the requisition Of
any state or territory of the United
States, and by inference reasons that
the law intends that the requisition of
| the governor of Alaska should there
fore be nonored.
ellis is wanted at Sitka, Alaska, to
answer the charge of the larceny Of
some cigars and tobacco. The hear
ing On the habeas corpus was heard by
the court last Friday and advanced on
the calendar to permit it's prompt de-
cision.
In the case of Jerd Merwin ct al,
appellant, VS.. Marcalin Charlebois,
respondent, the judgement of the SUI
perior court of Clarke county has been
reversed. The case arose over the
foreclosure Of a mortgage on part of
the Christian Powley donation claim
in Clarke county. Until very recent
ly the discovery was not made that
the claim contained $50 acres instead
of 1884 acres, as given in the patent.
In mortgaging part of the claim
which came to them as heirs of the
patentee it was described by metes
and bounds, and as containing 100 ac-
res more or less. The mortgage was
foreclosed and it was discovered that
the piece really contained 165 acres.
The appellants brought suit to recover
the land in excess of 100 acres and the
supreme court under an established
rule of law, awards them the surplus
age above the amount called for in
the mortgage.
In the case of Joe Howard, appellant,
VS.. Snohomish county, an action for
| damages arising over the collapse of
a wagon bridge under the weight of
threshing machine, the judgment of
the lower court in favor of the county
is confirmed. A case arising out of the
same accident, Robe VS.. Snohomisn
county, is reported in the IS Washing
| ton reports, page ATS.

No Joint Statehood.

Lots and lots of joint state
hood literature is being received
by our people. Some of them
read itsbut the majority use it for
building fires. 1t will be inter-
esting to know who pays freight
on all this literature. The print
ing amounts to considerable and
goes to the Albuquerque news
papers and the stamp account
must also be great, although
many of the documents are
franked under Senator Bever-
idge's frank and other United
States Senators. Several people
in Albuquerque are evidently
making good money out Of the
joint stat ehood propaganda.
While it is claimed that there is
a good deal of Joint statehood
sentiment in Grant county, there
seems to be but little of it in
Luna county. Our people are
very busy this year and really at
this time have not much leisure
to give to political questions.
They think there is plenty of
time to consider this when Con-
gress passes a statehood bill for
our territory, be it for single or
for joint statehood.

Judge McFie of the First Ju-
dicial District court, has the
case of Anastacio Gonzales, the
assessor of Santa Fe cou n ty,
charged by travelling Auditor
Stafford with neglect of duty, in
competency and ineiiiciency in
Office, before him. Testimony
has been taken but the result
has not been announced. Judge
McFie, under the law, if he finds
the defendant guilty has the
power to remove him from Office.
This is the first case of the kind
in the territory, and the results
will be watched with interest. If
Mr.. Safford's charges are sus-
tanned, the assessor should GER
tainly be removed and a compe-
tant man appointed for the posi-
ton. If the charges are not
sustained the case will fall to the
ground, but no harm will have
been done as the occurrence will
prove that the administration has
a watchful eye upon county
officials. Santa Fe county has
been very unfortunate in its
assessors as the one during 1903
and 1904, who was a republican,
proved to be an improper man
for the position and the present
one who is a democrat is charged
with incompetency. In the mean
time the assessment has been low
cred from S2,200,000 in 1902
to 81 100000 this year. 1t is
true that two precincts have been
cut off from Santa Fe county,
but the property in them
amounted to only about $40. 900.
There has been too much of a loss
instead Of an increase in the as
sessable values and as the county
is heavily in debt, having voted
hundreds of thousands of dollars
of railroad bonds twenty years
ago, the position is becoming
binding and hard on the property
owners and business men who
are kicking and that rightfully.
With good assessors and right
collection Of taxes Santa F
county would not be in a baC
condition, but as it is now com
plants are many and look as il
they were just.

New Mexico Military Institute.

There recently appeared in the
Santa Fe New Mexican an ex-
tended and fine article on the
New Mexico Military Institute at
Roswell. From all accounts this
is certainly a very strong and
ably conducted educational insti-
tuition and one that is doing great
good for the youth of our terri
tory. The territory makes an APP
preparation annually for part of
It's maintenance and support and
members Of the assembly have
the privilege of naming a cadet
from the counties in which they
reside for two years, which ca
Diet is charged no tuition and
saved other incidental expenses.
The school opens on Monday,
September 4th, and the Graphic
is informed that applications for
every place are on hand, and in
fact that a number of applicants
will have to be kept out on
account Of insufficient accommo-
bottoms. While in one respect
this is not good news, in another
respect it is gratifying, as it
shows that our people are anxious
to put their sons into good schools
and give than the education re-
quired to make successful citi-
zens and good men under modern
circumstances. The Military In
stitute at Roswell is one Of the
territorial educational institu-
lions Of which our people can be
and are justly proud.

Pyrotechnic Display.

Pyrotechnic display during the
evenings of the Territorial Fair
at Albuquerque, September 1923
inclusive, promises to be the most
elaborate illumination of the kind
ever given west of the Missouri
river. Two tons, $4,000 lbs. } of
red, cream and green fire pow
der, (the Fair colors), has been
ordered shipped from Chicago,
and will be burned from the
house tops and the streets, each
evening of the Fair, the rehec-
ton of which will be seen for a
radius of fully 200 hundred miles.
Ten thousand yards of green.
cream and cardinal bunting has
been ordered by the Fair Associ-
alton for the purpose of decorat-
ing the principal streets of the
city, and with the brilliant illu-
mination every night, will be one
of the grandest spectacular eff.
fects ever seen in the west.

It's Coming.

1t is reported that the new
trans-continental line of the San
ia Fe, railway will be established
from Galveston via the Eastern
Railway of New Mexico to Belen,
thence along the line now built
to Rincon via Deming to White
water and from there a new cor
Meeting link is to be built to go
northwest to connect with The
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix
lines now building southeast to-
ward New Mexico. This prop
osition seems to be a very FEAST
bic one and if carried into effect
will materially aid our town. We
cannot help believing that in FIVE
years Deming will be one of the
greatest railroad centers in the
southwest.

The sovereign State of Louisiana
was compelled to call upon Uncle
Sam a few days ago for protec-
ton and for aid in stamping out
yellow fever now existing in New
Orleans. 1t is gratifying to note
that Governor Blanchard of that
state and the new Orleans Board
of Health were too sensible, too
patriotic and too earnest in their
desires to do the best for their peo-
pie, to pay attention to the phan-
tom and delusive States Rights
Doctrine and took the right step
at the right time by asking the
Intervention and help of the fed
eral government and its marine
hospital service to crush the cpl
demic.
