The "Parson" has been enjoying a
vacation recently in tine jungles of
politics, and listening to the "call of
the wild" rather than the still small
voice. And since the reelection of
Bull" Andrews he has even been
tempted to quit preaching altogether
and taxi to the God with the
"sang-diggers."
The Parson is pleased to observe,
however, that civilization continues
to advance in Roswell, and that the
people are beginning to appreciate
the financial value of their preach
ers, and he would like to "get in on
the money"
When the Parson and Deacon Hin
kle started in on their campaign of
driving licensed gambling out of
Roswell, about all they received in
return was contumely and political
ostracism, tempered with resolutions
of thanks from the other preachers
whose salaries were so small thai
they could hardly afford to take part
in the campaign.
The Parson is glad that as old con-
ditions pass away the people are
awaking to the Importance of ap-
propriating more money to the sup
port of the churches and keeping
good preachers on guard to promote
the growth of a more healthy public
sentiment.
Since the Baptist minister is the
one who granted the Parsons eli
cense" to preach. tne-Parson is pleas
ed to learn thai the Baptist brother
has been granted an advance in sal
airy. and at the same time is to have
one OF. the finest new tabernacles in
the city.
The Parson understands that there
has been no ucn violence as accom-
panied last years coal strike in Col
orados-and in fact that no actual
walk-out OF the Ministerial Union has
occurred. but there have been rum
ors OF a general strike since h
Presbyterian church, with the aid
of E-piscopalians who were without

to $4,000 aAyear. The Parson has been

The Record refrains from further
comment on the Territorial election
until the details are learned as to
the grounds upon which it is propos-
ed to base a contest. If Andrews was
honestly elected, so be it. If not, all
those guilty of fraud should be pun
ished,-and the Record believes that
so far as lies within the power of the
governor and the attorney general
justice will be DONE.

1t is a little humiliating to be re-
minded hat the Democrats of Chaves
and Eddy counties who registered but
failed to vote on election day could
have changed the result. But per-
haps the old gang could have scared
up a. few more votes in Valencia and
other counties.

some of the gambling money to a

readers of the Record that h Par

Mr.. Smith, of the Methodist church
| South, is a good all-round preacher
| whose congregation is never snor
of men. Don't know whether he has
been given a raise or not-but he
could earn twice as much if he had
a church building large enough to
hold the crowds.
Elder Hill is another mighty good
preacher, as well as a worker in the
highways and byways. Deacon Hinkle
and the Parson both acknowledge
obligations for assistance in their
anti-gambling crusade from that uar-

There are things about the manage

doesn't like-but really they are nom

The Parson fae's zoo .iceply to
comment much upon a1C'her Incident

of the faithful minister who long
served the Episcopal mission in Ros-
well. Rev. George Hinson after spend
ing many years in the service, died
in the harness while trying to
establish a church in the little town
of Pennington, where conditions were
unsettled, crude, N to one of mis-
gentle and sensitive nature, forbid

of the end. Denied often many of
the material necessities and COM
forts of life, "He had fought a good
fight, he had finished his course"
His faithful service will be rewarded
on the other side. But no eulogies-
nor resolutions of regret we might
now formulate can make up for fail
ure to appreciate the value of his
work while on earth.

New York, Sept 7.-The national championship committee of the A. A.

One of the first and most prominent of the athletes to be brought up was c. ]. Seitz of the New York A. C., who was entered in the 100 and 220 yards. He was objected to for having represent ed club outside the metropolitan dis trict, but it was decided that he is eli gible to represent the New York A. c. Herman, the Harvard jumper, will represent the New York A. C., but under protest. c. Van Duyne, the Irish A. c. hammer thrower, will al- so compete under protest, as will Vickery of the Chicago A. A. and Me- Grath of the New England A. A. John J. Daly, in the five miles, cannot rep resent the Irish A. A. C., but may compete unattached, and the same rule applies to Nelson of the Pastime A.

CIVIL SERVICE SPELLING RULE.
Old Style or New Will Be Accepted in
 the Examinations.

Washington, Sept 7.-The United States civil service commission will go only half way in following Presi- dent Roosevelt into the field of re- formed orthography. Announcement to this effect was made at the com missions offices. The order has gone out to examiners all over the coun- try to notify applicants for positions that either the old or the new style of spelling will be accepted by the commission.
 We could hardly adopt an arbi- trary rule in this matter and say that the old form was incorrect in view of the fact that 1t has the approval of all dictionaries now in use." said Commissioner Cooley. There was only one thing to do in the matter and that was to notify prospective entrants to our examinations that in making ratings on spelling we would treat the phonetic and the non-pro- netic alike"
 Commissioner Cooley said that de- cision had been reached as to the style of spelling that would be used in the official correspondence of the commission.
