Statehood of any kind seems to be
impossible under a Republican ad-
ministration.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1906-01-10

Those Democrats down at Wash
ington do not seem inclined to fol-
low u advice on the statehood
Question. But, after all, they may
be right. Democratic Arizona may
be better off as a Territory than she
would be as a Republican state join
ed with New Mexico. We may be
unduly prejudiced in favor of state
hood for New Mexico by the hope
that Arizona Democrats would help
us to make a Democratic state of
the combination.

AS to the proposition of the ditch
people to consolidate the two bitches
into one and then tile that. It seems
that If practicable it should be much
cheaper. Whether or not the city
will accept the offer of the ditch PED
pie should such offer be made and
pay one-half the cost. The Record
cannot say. 1t believes, however,
that If an agreement fair and equi-
table to the city can be reached it
will be confirmed by the council.

Pushing the Primary Pledge.

- Bryan's %Commoner, published at Lincoln Nebraska. has
for over a year been making a campaign for the organiza-
ton of the democratic party by the rank and file.
According, to the terms of this plan every democrat is
asked TO pledge himself to attend all of the primaries Of
his party to be held between now and the next democratic
national convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and to
secure a clear, honest and straightforward declaration OF
the party's position on every question upon which the vot-
tiers of the party desire to speak. Those desiring to be en-
rolled can either write to The Record approving the OBJ
iect of the organization and asking to have their names en-
tered on the roll. or they can fill out and mail the blank
pledge, which is printed below.
The Record will. after making a list of the names for use
in forming a Democratic Club, mail the pledges to Mr.. Bry-
s an. paper.

We woul not ask Democrats to
pledge themselves irrevocably to sup
port the ticket If 1t happened to be
a ticket dictated by a handful of
bosses: However. majority rule is
a cardinal principal Of Democracy,
and If all Democrats would pledge
themselves to take part In primaries
and conventions, the ticket would al
ways be nominated by the rank and
file, and we could vote YER straight
with a good conscience.

lowed a season of feverish satisfaction.
after all, the rulings of the presiding
Judge go far in the matter of final de-

The courtroom was crowded from alSleS

The last stroke of 9 rang out, but the
judges door remained closed. out in
the crowded room one man. leaning
against post, took out hs watch as

moment snapped it to, for the sheriff's

remarkable circumstances that sur
rounded it, and also because it was to

and what defense his lawyers would
make. People could talk of nothing

Practical Lesson In Forestry.

There is pretty sentiment in the Sc.
lection of seventy fve-foot white pine
liberty pole, to be erected on the cam
pus of the Iowa state agricultural col
lege,at Ames. The tree was planted
forty years ago by Mr.. Ames, whose
name this city bears. This tfee is one
of as fine a grove as can be found in
the pine forests, and is frequently used
as an object lesson by the agricultural
college professors as indicating what
the thoughtfulness of one man has done
for posterity and the state, and pointing
the way to the present generation.
There is a consistent and persistent
propaganda being carried on at the ex,
pertinent stations in the West for the
planting of trees, both for the purpose
of identifying and protecting the
prairie homesteads and Of furnishing
lumber and fuel to future generations.

If it's, or8if You Expect to Put One on,
ssS #.sS. Read This.

Are you in debt on your farm Then
YOU ought to be very much conc erned
about how you are going to pay it Of.
Would you not like to look at your
farm and be able to say It's
all paid for; / don't owe q sdollarpl''
How long have you been IN debt and
how. much have you realty reduced
your indebtedness in the past five years?
IF you are content to pay interest all
your life then our plan will not appeal
to you. We can help those who want:
to get out Of debt There is only one
way for the average man with q family
to support to do this and that is pay
off little each year, and if you have
good luck pay more, but pay some any
way. Never sign big note all due on
a certain day unless you know just how
you are going to pay it. We can loan
you reasonable amount on your farm
in way so that you can pay it off
each year at the rate of $87 on each
$1,000. If you borrow $4,000 you would
pay $261. "a a year, and you can pay as
much more as you are able, but that is
all you would have to pay. This in
cludes both the principal and interest.
If you can't pay that much you ought
not to 60 ir debt, for even at this
amount it will take twenty years to pay
it off and you would pay less than 4per
cent for interest. Four per cent on
$4,000 is $120 a year, for twenty years
it is $2,40O; add to this the $1,000 and
you have $540O which you would pay.
Multiply $26l54 by 20 and you have
S., ,230.80 as the total you would, pay us.
So we say if you can't get out. on our
terms then there is 10 use trying. II:
We would like to see the day when
every farmer in Mower county was
clear of a mortgage. If we held the
mortgage that would surely happen in
twenty years and when that day comes
your land will be worth 5000 an acre.
Study how to make your land more
productive. Look up tile drainage,
good seed, get rid of weeds, improve
your stock. A few good hogs will take
care of the mortgage and you can have
the rest of the farm for your living and
