TIME o ACTION.
Albuquerque Journal.


Judge Freeman, of Carlsbad. sends
us, with permission to print, a car
bon copy of a letter he has just writ
ten to Mr.. Bursum, chairman of the
Republican territorial committee, in
which he calls the attention of that
gentleman to the fact that it is high
time for his committee to move in
the matter of taking the necessary
steps to redeem the pledge made to
the president for the purpose of Sc
curing the reappointment of the fed
eral officials in New Mexico. Mr..
Freeman puts the cas- up to MI. Bur
sum in the following pointed and
straightforward manner
ct will be recalled that a shor
time before the assembling of con
gress the central republican commit
tee of our territory was called togeth
er tt give expression to it's views
on the matter of statehood. The com
mittee, by a very large majority. de-
clared against joint statehood.
"Since that time, however, the pre-
took very strong grounds in favor
of the measure. Following this, a
committee or delegation composed
of the leaders of our party in New
Mexico have waited on the president
and assured him that, if he would not
disturb the party organization there.
i. e. would reappoint the present
corps of officials, the party machinery
would be wheeled into line in sup
port of the measure.
THE president relying. not only on
the good faith of the delegation. but
also on their power to redeem the
pledge. a reappointed the entire
body of officials. with the exception
of governor. who had already been
succeeded by MI. Hagerman's ap-
pointment.
IN view of this condition of af-
fairs, I desire % be permitted to sug-
gest that you call the committee to-
gether as soon as 1t can be done. 70
the end that 1t may retrace its steps
in his regard, and put itself in line
with the president. and redeem the
pledge made by the delegation.
Il one this suggestion for three
reasons:
@First-Because it is right within
itself.
~second.-Because it is due to the
president that this course be taken
n
Third.-for The reason that. until
the former action OF the committee
is revoked or modified, It win contin-
ne to be used as 1t Il now being used

that the people Of New Mexico are
not il favor Of joint statehood"

The reader will observe that Judge
Freeman does not refer to the pledge
made to the president in any uncer-
tain manner. as a rumor. or something
said to be, but speaks of 1t positively
and this he does because he and Mr..
Bursum were both on the ground at
the time, and each knows that the
other knows that the statement is
true. And the gentlemen of the dele
cation who made the arrangement
with the president will mo- deny 1T.
That delegation consisted of Messrs.
Solomon Luna, HI. O. Bursum. w. J..
Mills, j. w. Reynolds and w. H.
Llewellyn. The president has car
ried out his part of the agreement
to the letter, and has reappointed
the former officials without regard
to their positions on the statehood
question, and it is strictly a matter
of honor now with the parties of the
other part to perform their part of
the arrangement in good faith.
AS the Journal has recently said.
it is O expected of men who have
been actively opposed to statehood
that they will turn round at once
and become active advocates of the
measure, but we nave a right to ex-
pect, and we nave a right to demand,
that they will desist from throwing
obstacles in the way of the cause af-
ter having demanded and received a
consideration for so doing. And the
Republicans of the territory, a large
majority of whom are in favor of
statehood, have a right to demand
that the machinery of their party be
used n for the purpose of opposing
but for the purpose of upholding a
measure which is endorsed not only
by the republicans of this territory,
but by h republican party of the
publican national administration as
well. And they have a right to de
mand further, that there shall be no
shutting or doubledealing in the mat
ter, no keeping of "the word of prom
Use to the ear, to break it to the
hope" but a faithful and honest car
rying out of the pledge to have the
party machinery wheeled into line
in support of joint statehood.
Up to the present time not one of
the gentlemen named has raised a
rying out his pledge with the posi-
BILE exception of Mr.. Llewellyn. who
admits that the bill will pass, and
that it would be to our interest to
get On the winning side.) Even that
much from the other gentlemen nan
ed, would do good without compro-
~
missing them in the least. But Mr..
Luna simply tells us that ne "has
nothing to say" and the other ZEN
dorse what Mr.. Luna says" while
the anti-statehood men who have
been appointed to office by the presi-
den in consequence of the pledge
given him, allow themselves to be
pointed out to the unknowing ones
as object lessons, to prove that the
president doesn't are a snap for
joint statehood or he wouldn't ap-
point men to office in the territory
who have always been opposed to it,

SKETCH OF LELAND.

SNEICH Or
Register u s. Land Office at Roswell
Appointed for Third Term.
The Santa Fee New Mexican of Jan
uary 1st. publishes the following
sketch:
Howard Leland was born February
8, 1916, in Sank County, Wisconsin,
of Massachusetts parents, descended
from Henry Leland, who came to the
colonies from England in the Seven
teenth century, His father, Cyrus
LELAND, was a graduate of Harvard
college and a lawyer by profession,
removing with his family to st Jo-
seph, Missouri, in 1857 and 1889 to
Troy Kansas.
He was an active free state man
and organized several companies of
the Thirteenth Kansas regiment,
serving as it's quarter-master and as
captain quartermaster until the close
of the war, Cyrus Leland, Jr., the old
er son, having enlisted as second
lieutenant in the Fourth Kansas regi
ment at the beginning of the war.
Howard Leland attended private
schools in Atchison and Highland,
Kansas, and had one years private
instruction under the resident Epis-
copal clergyman. In 18e4-65 he at
tended Knox college, Illinois, and
then engaged in farming for two
years. which he quit to go into the
mercantile business. In 1892 he
came to Las Vegas for climatic rea-
sons, his health having been greatly
impaired by an attack of la grippe.
and. his health being much improved
entered into the service of the Santa
Fee Railway Company as clerk and
moved his family three daughters
and two sons, to Albuquerque, his
wife having died in 1892. He remain
ed in the employ of the railroad com
pany until he was a%ppointer Register
of the Roswell Land ONCE in 1897 by
President McKinlov
His Appointment.
His record was such an exemplary
one and the recommendations for
his re-appointment were SO strong
that the late President Mckinley re
appointed him 4 yaars ago. The same
state of affairs existed this month,
and brought about his third appoint
.ment to the position by President
Roosevelt. It is but fair to say that
Mr.. Leland had the united support
of the people of his district and of
the Republican party organization.
There was no candidate against him
and this Is a high compliment as it
was patent that-no candidate could
secure the support of the people of
the land district and of the Republi-
can party Organization, If Mr.. Le-
land wanted re.appointment. In adj
dition to being a very competent of
fetal in every respect, Mr.. Leland is
a good and valuable citizen identified
with his own town, county and the
Territory. and always at work for
their advancement and progress

Passing of African Game.

For two centuries there has been lit
tie let or hindrance to the slaughter
of animal life in southern Africa. But
now game laws exist and with their
enforcement it is expected that the sup
ply of game can be kept UP and that
some of the old hunting grounds may
be restocked.
Lions are still plentiful over large
areas and even in the mining districts
of Rhodesia. Elephants are becoming
scarce, being practically extinct south
of the Zambesi, except on the east coast
and in few parts of Rhodesia. They
are now strictly protected to save them
from extinction.
The rhinoceros is rare except in the
Portuguese country south of the Fam
best. The hippopotamus is to be found
only In Orange River, the streams of
Zululand and in the Portuguese rivers.
One of the remarkable natives is
King Khama. The headquarters of his
tribe is Serowe, town of 10000. Here
and in all his dOminiOns he has abolish
ed European liquors, and their intro
duction or use is followed by severe
punishment. He has suppressed witch
craft and so encouraged education that
most of his people can read.
The Mashonaland plateau is begin
ming to fill up with European farmers.
With its perfect climate and fertile
land it grows every kind of crops Of
the temperate zone, and the farmers
are already looking forward to raising
enough to supply the whole of Rhode
STA. Thus throughout the clark con-
tinent" in whatever direction there are
evidences of a rapidly growing civili-
Zation.

The Pony Rider


the pony's back, but tainted before he
got into the agents cabin. The mail
pouch was safe. however.
Sam was not long coming to him
self again. His left arm was broken
above the elbow by a rifle ball and
another ball had entered his chest
near the left shoulder. Neither wound
was dangerous.
About five miles from San Juan, as
he was jogging along at an easy pace
over a stretch Of tableland, he saw
three mounted Indians some distance
ahead of him. They were coming from
an easterly direction and their course
would intersect his almost at right an
giles. They evidently saw him and he
had no doubt they would attack him /;
that was what they were there for.
But what could he do? To turn back
was no safer than to go forward, for
they would pursue and overtake him.
Then, even If they had no hostile in
tentions, his running from them would
be sure to bring them after him.

STORIES OF THE MoRoS.

Cruel and FanaticaI, They ScOrn
Surrender and Fight to the Death.
The MoroS are of an order much
lower than that Of any class Of hui
man beings in the United States, writes
Lloyd Buchanan of the United States
Army in Worlds Work. Unspeakably
filthy in their habits, treacherous and
cruel, they compare neither with the
Indians nor with the southern negroes.
They are ignorant and superStitious.
About a year ago a force under the
strong chief, Hatai, surrendered to Gen.
Wood a tremendous position on Bud
Kausukan without firing shot and
gave up all their priceless rifles, be-
cause the night before a navy torpedo
boat destroyer had flashed its search
lights on the Notifications from the
sea, and the terrified defenders imag-
ined that Providence had been drawn
into alliance with their enemies.
AS warriors the Moros are fanatics,
but, for all that, there is magnificence
in their disdain of death. The lonely
"iuramentado," who takes an oath,
shaves his head, binds his limbs and
goes out to kill and be killed, Is
type of the animating spirit of the
race. l have known such one
thoughtfully to bide his time In
walled city, whence escape was impos-
sible, and when the fit hour had come,
to whip out his weapon and seek only
to strike mortal blow before the mer-
CHESS rifles brought him death.
One, by a camp, peddling fruit, cut
soldier down with a broken spearhead,
was shot to the ground, staggered to
his feet, struck once more, was shot
down again, rose a second time and
was then stopped only by rifle bull
let through his brain. Another charged
To his death, single handed, with his
spear and knife, on company Of reg
ular infantry sitting in line with their
loaded rifles across their knees.
The same wild spirit animates the
Moros in a fight. At Pang Pang, where
the destruction was very heavy, after
the walls had been scaled by our
troops and the works were at the
mercy Of our arms, time and again the
fire was stopped and the defenders
were implored to surrender that their
lives might be spared. But pity was
scorned with a volley and rush of
cleaning knives. From the very val
ley of the shadow always came back
the stubborn reply, 1--WE are not of a
race that surrenders :" l do not think
that anything much finer or much more
impossible to deal with ever came be-
fore any army in the world.
When a Jolo Moro goes into his cot
ia he goes there to fight to a finish.
He scorns surrender. He becomes a
human tiger. He will cut you down
while you seek to dress his wounds.
He battles with the fury of a mailman
! and, if you fight with him, the only
salvation for your life is the taking Of
his. It is a grievous pity that this is
So But it is.

WHY ARTISTS LOVE BRITTANY,

Country Has Long Been Greaf
Source of Inspiration.
Brittany has been so great a source
Of inspiration to painters during the
last forty years that men Of all nation
alities have been attracted to this land
of mysterious charm, says the Crafts
man. Art colonies have sprung up
here and there, the most familiar be-
ing the cosmopolitan colonies at POnt-
Aven and Concarneau in southern Brit
tany.
The painter finds in Brittany an In
eXhauStible wealth of subjects. Tho
landscape Is varied in character ana
appeals to men of varied temperamentS
and varying moods. In some parts
there are richly wooded valleys, fertil-
lied by running streams; in other parts
the country is bleak and mountainous,
or made up Of tracts of wild moor
land and forests. All round the coast
from st. Malo to st. Nazairo the seem
cry is marvelously picturesque ami
dotted with poor fishing hamlets and
prosperous seaside resorts. The fisher
people are a hardy race, essentially
pictorial in their picturesque surround
ings, and varied in type, the somber
DowareRez folk being quite unlike the
more pleasure-loving expansive people
of Camaret. Inland one finds the re-
ligious and toil-worn peasants, who
live a meager and mOnOtonous life in
their peaceful villages, content to think
and act and dress as their forefathers
have done for centuries.
There is scarcely a town or village
in Brittany but has some interesting
feature, hence one finds artists at work
here and there throughout the country.
Treguier, Perros Guirec, st. Jean du
Doigt and other lovely hooks along
the coast are all artists haunts,
though the peasants are less interest
ing at these places than at many 9TH
ers where the costume is more pictur-
esque and more generally worn. The
inland villages and towns of Brittany
are not less delightful than those by
the sea. Dinant is eternally charming
in spite Of it's being overrun by visit
ors; and Huelgoat, Chateaulin, LIE
Faouet-to name a few out Of the
many places off the beaten track-at-
tract both figure and landscape paint
ers who need solitude for their work.
HuelgOat is a mountain village in a
healthful district, and is absolutely de-
lightful with its wild moorland and
forests.

NO GAMBLING IN OKLAHOMA.

Thrifty Eastern Farmers Have Driv-
en- Out the Men Who Once Ran 1t.
To-day there are not five towns in
Oklahoma of any Importance where
gambling Is conducted openly, as 1t was
six years ago, says the Kansas City
Star. AS late as three years ago the
biggest games ever seen in the terri
tory were running in Oklahoma City,
though confined to upper floors or base
ments. During the last two months all
the boss gamblers in Oklahoma City
upon whom the law could lay it's bands
have been put in Jail and kept there
They had violated injunctions prohibit
ing them from using certain buildings
for gambling purposes. Guthrie has
been without it's big games for more
than a year.
The change is due to activity among
religious organizations, public senti-
ment that rests upon practical as well
as moral grounds and the displace-
ment of certain adventurous pioneer
citizens by more conservative men az
women from older communities. The
exclamation Of an Old-time boss gam
hlar man who came to Oklahoma at
the opening, may not be without in
terest. He said:
I'm my town in earlier years, when
gambling was under full Roadway, the
'nroducers' were mostly farmers. These
farmers were western men, who had
heen with the vanguard of western SEN
timent all their lives. They had no more
besitancy in gambling than they had
In smoking cigar or taking drink
Of whisky. They had been accustomed
to 1t all their lives.
"When one came 10 town with load
Of wheat he put the money in his peck
OF took his team to livery stable and
went to a restaurant or hotel. Usual
" no would stay in town all night. At
fer sumner he would take a few drinks
and then saunter around to a gambling
house. always within easy reach, and
without danger Of raids. In many in
stances he went home broke.
1.-THE agricultural prosperity In Okla
homa in the last ten years brought a
great advance in the value Of farm
property. Farmers from eastern and
northern states began coming to Okla
homa with bank accounts. The original
settler was offered $4,000, $1,000 and
sometimes as high as $4,000 for his
quarter section of land, which to him
seemed more than the land was worth.
and he sold it and moved to other To-
ealities. The new owners had prae-

MARKS OF ILLNESS ON NAILS.

How Accident and Great Mental An
Euish Are Also Indicated.
Zone who makes a close study Of
finger nails will find many curious
things about them to excite his won
der and interest" says an expert on
such matters, "but none more SO than
the stories Of physical condition told
in their growth.
you know that the nail of a per
son in good health grows at the rate
of about One-sixteenth of an inch each
week-slightly more than many au-
thorities believe-but during illness or
after an accident or during times of
only affected and ru arded so far as
it's length is concerned, but also as re-
CARDS its thickness. The very slight
est illness will thus leave an indelible
mark on the nails which may be read
lily detected as the nail grows out If
one has a sudden attack, such as acute
rheumatism, which sends the temper
ature bounding upward to 104 or 105
within the space Of two or three hours,
it will be found on the nails, indicat-
ing the difference in thickness Of
growth between the time when health
was enjoyed and the thin growth of
the i'll period.
"If the illness is one that comes
gradually, like typhoid fever, for ex-
ample, instead of a ridge a gentle in
cline will appear on the nails. Should
one have an arm broken the thick ridge
can be seen only on the fingers of the
one hand, but in ali cases of general
sickness the ridge or slope appears on
the fingers Of both hands. When one
has passed through a period of ex-
IRENE excitement or mental depression,
the fact will be imprinted on the nails
either with an abrupt edge or a gentle
slope, according to the acuteness Of
the mental influence.
I'm no instance can the marks Of
illness, accident or mental condition
be clearly seen on the nail until after
the growth has carried the line beyond
the white or half moon portion of it,
but a week or two subsequent to any
of these things the ridge or slope may
be found on the nails, usually readily
visible to the eyes, but if not the mark
may be found by running the tip Of
the finger down any of the nails. -
