Dexter, N. M, Feb. %, 1906.
Dear Record:-Under the caption
Masonic Incidents" you say that the
Team of the Miller Brothers taking
the Royal Arch Degree in the Ros-
well Chapter, constituted the first
Team on record in Masonic histo-
ry. In the winter and spring Of 1875,
in Chapter No. 10, Marshall, Texas,
DR.. Az B. Waskom (who recently
passed to the lodge above), J. B.. Was
kom, Of J~onesvil1e, Tex, and myself
constituted the first team then known
in Masonic history. 1t has not been
repeated in Texas, so far as I know.
1t takes Masonry to work wonders,
sometimes. A few years ago in Rock
wall Chapter of Texas, three preach
ers made a team, viz. Methodist, Bap-
fist and Presbyterian. So you see
how Masonry assimilates the "dog-
matist, and they travel like lambs in
the same harness." Yours very truly.

Observation-Disclosures

From Ell Captain News.
The News has had occasion in the
past to call the attention of it's read
ers to the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention, providing,
of course, the enabling act is passed.
In doing so it urged the selection
of delegates, irrespective of party,
but upon the broader platform of
honesty and capability; and in this
argument, the position so stated has
been strongly supported by it's read
ers, many of whom have warmly com
mended its action.
However, while such action is pcs
sible in Lincoln county; for both par
ties in this county contain many infiu
entail members who are ready to put
principle above partisanship and act
independently for what they deem
the best interests of, the same spirit
does not seem to animate other sec
lions of the territory, if the express
sions of newspapers are to be taken
as representative of the feelings of
the people.
Notable opponents of the Non-par-
tisan plan are the Santa Fe New Mex
lean and Albuquerque Citizen, and
their arguments are hat the repub-
licans are on top in this territory,
and to elect non-partisan delegates
would deprive the republican party of
it's prestige.
Such talk will only inflame the pub
lie mind, and in the end bring about
a dirty political fight; for if n party
officially enters the fight, the other
per force will follow, and the conven-
ton will be made up of delegates
who represent their respective par
ties and the interests of the people
will be forgotten in the scramble.
Let the convention be non-partisan-
the people want an inning.

who writes from the canal zone to the
Independent, giving results of his prin-

guage he puts the responsibility on
Secretary Taft and the Panama canal
commission.
Today, he says, 1t would be a reck-
less father who would advise a son to
take employment in the canal zone.
Negro laborers, he declares. are leav-
ing in droves because the American
officials are "skinning" them out of
part Of their wages and herding them
in filthy quarters where they fall prey
to deadly fevers. They were driven
into a swamp because the government
gave them no ground on which to
pitch a tent.
"There is not q single drainage

FORCE PREFECT TO RESIGN
Hungarians at Debreczen Placard
streets and MaItreat Appointee
of Crown
By Associated Press.


VIENNA, Jan. 3.-The disturbances
last night at Debreczen, Hungary, on
the arrival of the new prefect, M
Kovacs, were fully pre-arranged. The
prefect only succeeded in ending the
disorders and the continued assaults
on himself by signing his resignation
which was read to the crowd by a conf
mittee of citizens.
The streets of Debreczen We're pla-
carded Saturday with long notice,
part of which was as follows:
I'VE count upon you, citizens OF De-
breczen, to show today, as in the past,
that Debreczen is the cradle of Hun
garian liberty. No citizen of Debreczen
shall serve this mercenary of a con-
stitution breaking administration. No
coachman shall drive him, no hotel
keeper serve him, no merchant sell to
him. His money is the wage of a
Judas. None shall give him bite to
eat or a drop to drink and he shall
hunger and thirst like beast of the
desert. No house shall open its door
to him. He shall find no place where
ON to lay his head"
The animosity of the people of De-
breczen against the prefect is entirely
imperSonal and arises from the fact
that he is an appointee of the crown.
In the revolution of 1S4S Debreczen
was the center of Hungarian liberty.
There Kossuth proclaimed Hungarian
independence in 1S49 and the town Of
ficially deposed Francis Joseph as king.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-The bad boy Is
disappearing; the bold, bad girl is taxi
ing his place, according to William o.
Lamonte, for five years clerk of the
Juvenile court, who spoke before the
Social Economics club yesterday.
During the first six months follow
ing the establishment of the Juvenile
court" declared the speaker, "only six
delinquent girls were brought before
the bar. The year before last the
number increased to 1884 and 1t is grow
ing constantly. / believe when the
totals are made for last year the num-
ber will be found to reach nearly 800.
You women all ought to work day and
night to create Il public sentiment
which will cause the extinction Of
those Infamous dance halls, in which
nearly all those girls started on their
downward career.
AT the state refuge at Geneva every
room is full; in nearly every room there
are cots to accommodate the overflow.
1t is impossible to build cottages fast
enough to meet the increase"
