ping bureau, he will see many news
paper comments that he is afraid to
show his wife.
Fooled in his design to revise the
dictionary, President Roosevelt seems
to have turned his attention to re-
vising the constitution.
Now let us hear nothing more of a
constitutional convention to be held
at he expense of the people of the
Territory.-Las Vegas Optic.
If all preachers could read the
Bible as we'll as Mrs. Fenetta Sar-
gent Haskell reads the story of Da-
vid and Goliath, homilies would be
superfiuous.
New MeSfeo might as Well remain
a territory, if tae Federal govern
ment is to take charge of the public
schools and other local affairs of
the states.
Mrs, HasRe1i tightly places the
Bible at the head of literature. There
are too many books and sermons
ABOUT the Bible and not enough
reading of the Book itself.
If the President IS Upheld in mis-
plan to centralize all power in the
Federal government, there will be
enough states involved in the next
secession move to make it a sue
cess.
The members Of the Cabinet will
no doubt earn an increase of salary
+ h President succeeds in placing
al the legislative, judicial and ex-
dcutive functions OF the government
ih their hands.
Ibid o ever go into the store of
Price & Co., and fail to meet Mr..
PriNR within fun noinIif0c Thot &c
n secret of his success as a mer-
chant. He is acquainted with ais
customers and is always glad to see
them.
Teddy is Certainly going some ON
the home-stretch. The Record is now
convinced that he meant it when he
said that he would not run again. His
proposition to centraize all power
in the Federal government, finally
settles the matter.
PR0SHRGY JOKE.
"The Japanese and the Dutch are
pleased with President Roosevelt's
message to congress. Now if it
meets the appreciation of the Ros-
well Record, it is a worthy docu-
ment.-Artesia News.
Home FOLKS.
Home-Folks-they're jes' the same
as kin
All brung Up, same we have bin,
Without no overpowerin' sense
OF their uncommon consequence.
Oh, Home-Folks, you're the pest of all
AT ranges this terescaul ball
But, north er south, err east er west,
It's nome is where you're at your
best.
It's home-it's home your faces shine,
.In-nunder your own fig n vine
Your family and you neighbors bout
Ye, and the latchstring hangin' out.
James Whitcomb Riley.
THE GROWTH OF NEW MEXICO.
From Santa Fe New Mexican.
The growth of New Mexico especi-
ally in the eastern portions of the
Territory is attracting favorable at
tentiOn and this will aid towards it's
continuance. This is especially the
case in the counties of Union, Quay,
Roosevelt, Chaves, Eddy
and Torrance. The homestead entries
which have bee made in these coun-
ties during the year 1906, are more
than those in any of the
land offices of the United States
in the west and for hat matter any
where where there are public lands
subject to homestead or desert land
entry. The Ell Paso Herald notices
very satisfactory state of af-
fairs properly, remarking thereon that
in the United States, there is no re-
giOn that mas progressed or prosper
more, or gained more population
in proportion, during the last twelve
months, than the Pecos Valley of New
III the territory adjacent to
the valley railroad along up toward
the Panhandle. Homeseekers by the
have poured in there, and
have sprung up all along the
way.
Banks and newspapers have made
firm roots as swiftly as the saloons,
churches, and schools. 1t used to be
hat the saloons came first AID the
others trailed along considerably lat
But these towns of the newest
New Mexico are all there when they
and the better element in COM
life takes control from the
start and maintains it. \
1t is about as jolly a lot of news
papers and as fat a lot of banks over
here as he young west affords. The
newspapers are filling the banks with |
others peoples money and doing a
great work to spur the unsettled pop
of new n necessarily raw
into concerted and Wig |
action toward building towns |
for permanent homes in paradise.
