WANT A HALF HOLIDAY.
Local Carpenters Will Endeavor to Get It in
Their Next Agreement

The local Carpenters and Joiners: Union is
going to make an effort to secure Saturday
half-holiday when the time comes to frame up
new agreement with the employers. They
believe that their request will be given due
consideration, and from what they heard at
their recent banquet they are inclined to be-
lieve that the employers will be willing to con-
cede the request.
The request will be backed up by statistics
showing the good results of the Saturday half
holiday in other cities where it has long been in
vogue. 1t will cost the employers nothing, and
will insure more work to more men the year
around. 1t is matter in which all unions
should take an interest, especially the building
trades.

BRINGS A TERRIBLE INDICTMENT
The Chicago Public Draws an Indictment
Against the Pulpit, and The Wageworker
Offers Any Minister of Lincoln an Oppor-
tunity to Prove It Untrue Study the Counts
Herein and Deny Them Who Can

When labor organizations strike, the pulpit
thunders; but, with only here and there an ex-
ception, its thunderbolts leveled at the or
ganized men whose struggle is for a bare living
for hard work. Seldom they leveled at the
organized manipulators of oppressive privilege
whose struggle is to get something for nothing.
Against labor strikers the pulpit is seldom
slow to thunder its anathemas. But how many
pulpits have thundered against the wholesale
sacrifice of children in factories and mines for
the enrichment of men who contribute te,s.iles
and observe forms? How many pulpits have
thundered against grabbing public highways
by millioIaires toward whom their occlpa ats:
turn for financial encouragement? How many
pulpits have thundered against the privat. ap-
preparation Of God common bounties by build
ers of temples and observers Of forms, who have
thereby impoverished their brethren How
many pulpits have thuhdered against instit,,-
tions that enrich some by impoverishing and de-
grading others?
That some pulpits have done and are doing
all this is true, but they are exceptions, noble
instances, but rare exceptions.
As an institution the pulpit, and as a class
the clergy, are allies Of despoiling privilege
While they more or less active against SUI

London, May 24.-Mrs. Dora Monte
fore, one of the leaders of woman
suffrage under whose leadership thou
sands of women have pledged them
selves not to pay their taxes on the
ground that taxation without represen-
tation is tyranny, harrangued to great
crowd of women suffragists from the

that the women who refused to pay
taxes were taking this course in Or
der to advance the education of the
cabinet ministers and warned the lat
ter of the determination of those who
were conducting the campaign to OBJ
tain their indisputable rights. She as
serted that the cabinet ministers who
opposed the movement were marked
men and suggested that her hearers

She said she would do SO herself but
she was so busy protecting her home
against tax collectors who hoped to
starve her out. Friends of Mrs. Mon.

and has been honored many times by
being elected to public Office. He was
president of the first Town Board of
the town of Roswell, and many years
later, when the town was incorporat.
ed as city, he was elected president
of the first city council. He was the
first, and with but one exception, the
only Republican ever elected to a
county office in the County of Chaves,
which shows to far greater extent
than anything else the high regard in
which he is held by the citizens of his
own county, for, as is well known,
Chaves County Is overwhelmingly
Democratic, and 1t takes an especially
strong man to be elected on any other
ticket.
He is also a prominent Mason, and
has twice been elected Master of Ros.

Likewise he has twice been High
Priest, Columbia Chapter No. Z, R. A.
M. He is Shriner and 32d degree

Mr.. Jaffa has been successful as a
business man and is interested in sew
eral large companies in Roswell and
eastern New Mexico. Under his man
agement as cashier of the Citizens
National Bank, 1t has grown to be one
of the strongest institutions in the
country, and all who know Mr.. Jaffa
have reason to place the utmost con
fidence in him. He has ever been
straightforward and honest in all oi
his business transactions, and is al
watchful of the interests of others al
he is of his own.
AS Regent of the Institute, Mr.
Jaffa has always had the hearty sup
port and cooperation Of the other
members Of the Board. With the Fac
ulty and Cadets he is very popular and
is highly respected by them. They
know him to be a broad-minded, lib
eral man, who wants justice for all
but who does not stoOp to give ear tc
the trivial slanders and reports which
some spiteful person might at times
put into circulation. His policy as g
Regent has been to employ competent
men, and to leave the details of the
school entirely to them; but when one
fails in the slightest degree to fill the
requirements, Mr.. Jaffa does not hes
