MORAL WAVE IN SOUTH.
From Denver News.

From Denver News.
Few things are more notable il the
progress of political thought at the
present day than the strides made
by prohibition in the South While
the North is dropping away from the
prohibition fold, the South is enter
ing with a zeal far surprising any
thing that Maine or Kansas ever
showed. More than three-quarters of
the counties south of the Mason-Dix-
on line are now dry, and the proper
deed, the Southern papers have made
much note of the fact, and have de-
clared that the North leads III eco
nomic reforms and the South in NOR
al ones.
The rock-bottom reason for the ad-
vance of prohibition in the South is,
of course, the desire to keep liquor
away from the negroes. The black
man is by 10 means as susceptible
to liquor as the Indian, yet he is far
weaker in what might be called his
alcoholic resistance than the white

raise the race feeling of the South to
fever heat are inffamed, though per-
haps not originally caused, by liquor.
Under these circumstances it is quite
natural that the South has determin-
ed to restrict the sale of liquor to ne
groes, and since this cannot be done
without also restricting the sale to
whites, the Kentucky colonel, in more
than half the states, must find relief
in the importation of original pack
ages or go thirsty.
A great deal of unnecessary sur
prise has been expressed by North
ern writer's over this tendency in the
South, and the paragraphers in par
ticular have had no end of fun out
OF the situation. Yet there is nothing
surprising about the matter at all.
The South is simply yielding to the
pressure of necessity, just as the
North would do under similar eireum-
stances. But the occasion is a good
one for pointing out one of the most
common misconceptions of the life
of the Southern half of the republic.
1t is usual to speak of Puritan and
Cavalier as representing the New
England states and the South respect
lively. AS an actual fact the South, in
all but what might be called the top
dressing of the population of the Vfr
ginia lowlands, was quite as Puritan
ical as the North. South Carolina was
deeply colored by the Huguenot i'm
migration, and the Huguenots were
simply French Puritans, who went
their English brethren several better
in most matters of discipline and re-
ligious fervor. North Carolina proba-
bly, had the largest proportion of
Scotch. Irish and Covenanter blood
of any of the thirteen colonies. Mary
land was sometimes Catholic and
sometimes Puritan, but never CaFa-
lier; and even Virginia had more of
are in the habit of thinking Stone
wall Jackson was the very type of a
Massachusetts, Bay Puritan, yet he
was of the purest Virginia stock. So
far from having less of Puritan blood
than the North, the South has doubt
less the larger snare of that stock.
since its original breed has remained
| undiiuted by the immigration which
has so deeply influenced the North
ern communities. That it should take
the most radical action ON the liquor
question is therefore to be predicated
at once from its blood and circum-
stances.

A HOMEGROWN DINNER.

Roswell, N, M, Sept. 3.
Editor Daily Record / was one
of a hundred or so that ate dinner
yesterday at one of Roswell's popular
dining rooms. There were some stran-
gers present who were discussing the
crop failure in the Valley this year,
and wondering where the generous
supplies on the table could have come

We were eating, and thinking it pret-

On other days there are corn, and
beets, and spinach, and mustard, and
Okra, etc. But there was not room
on the table for these yesterday, and
so we had to get along with the few
things mentioned, with only a little
grumbling about the bad year.
In the division of dessert" we were
a little short in the fruit items, for
apples and grapes had to stand for
what ii normal years would have
been plums and prunes and peaches
and pears-better than are grown
elsewhere in the world. 1t is hard on
us to have sucn a slender menu; but
we are getting on fairly well through
the season, hoping for the years of
bounty that are to come. Yours in a
cheerful spirit.

NEXT MESSAGE WILL
SMASH ALL RECORDS.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept. 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will devote the remain
der of his vacation to work on his
completion of a series of speeches ne
is to deliver during his trip through
the West and the South. Secretary
Loeb today declared that no appoint
ments have been made for the recep-
ton of visitors between now and the
time Mr.. Roosevelt is scheduled to
leave for Washington. Puring the re-
naming three weeks of his stay the
President is to practically conclude
the writing of mis- message to the Arst
session of the Sixtieth congress. When
he returns to Washington, September
.25, every part of the message will be
in shape to submit, as his custom, to
the members of the cabinet and to
those senators and representatives
and nigh officers of the government
upon whose judgment the President
relies so largely for suggestions in
such matters.
The message is going to DE the larg
est that he has sent 10 congress. 1t
will be more lengthy than that he
sent to congress winter before last,
which of itself established a new rec
ord in the presidential message line.
That was the output in which railroad
rate regulation was made the over
shadowing feature
Mr.. Roosevelt's word to congress in
December will also be notable in the
manner in which it will deal with
questions before the public or in
which he hopes to make the public
take an interest. These matters will
be treated in an unusual way and
with vigor that win mark the mes
sage as unique state paper even

Auto in at Seven This Morning.

The automobile from Torrance ar
rived at seven O'Clock this morning,
all records being broken by its early
arrival. A wreck on the Rock Island
between Torrance and El Paso pre-
vented any trains from arriving be-
tween two o'clock and the time the
car regularly starts from Torrance,
so the driver. Charley Sharp, took ad-
vantage of the situation and left at
once for Roswell. The earliest arrival
ever made by the auto before was
made by Driver Scott last summer,
when ne reached the Roswell postof-
fee at 1920.

the hands of historians. 1t mas moi
been thoughtful; it has not been after
careful research, and such history as
We have of the men who discovered
New Mexico and the Southwest, is a
tumble of contradictory statements
all interesting, but all the more un
satisfactory on that account.
For some reason difficult to ex
plain, no well equipped historian, and
no organization of thoughtful men
has ever attempted any consistent re
search into Southwestern history, and
it is for the purpose of securing just
such eminent attention to the history
of this section, that Governor Curry
has called the Coronado Commemo-
querque next month.
The plan for this Convention has
been thought out. For the Committee
on Organization, Governor Curry has
chosen men eminently fitted for the
work. Hon. Solomon Luna, of Los Lu-
one of the oldest Spanish families in
the Territory. He can trace his ances-
try back direct to the days of the
ConqueStadoreS, and it is therefore
not surprising that ne will be deeply
interested in this movement, which
has for it's object the honoring of the
brave men who risked their lives in
the discovery of the empire.
The Most Reverend Peter Bour-
gade, archbishop of Santa Fe, also a
member of this committee, mas dur
ing his long residence in the South
west, taken a deep interest in its his
tory. He is a scholar of known at
tainments, and his hearty cooperation
with this movement practically in
sures its success.
Other members of the Committee
on Organization are former Governor
Miguel A Otero, former Governor L.
B. Prince, former Governor H. J. Ha-
german, President w. G, Tight, of the
University of New Mexico, Judge Ira
A. Abbott, and Col. r. E. Twitchell,
who mas been already very active in
the Coronado Memorial Association
of Las Vegas.
With such a committee, it is plain
that this convention is going to be
thoughtfully worked out, and that it's
results will be permanent and of tre-
mendous value to New Mexico and
the Southwest
ALI the members of this convention
are entitled to take part in it's pro-
ceedi1gs. Governor Curry has named
all members of the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial branches of the Ter
ritorial government, and those who
have been members of the govern
ment in the past. Every man who has
taken part in the government of New
Mexico has come in contact with the
fascination of its history, and each
one will have something to contrib
ute to the work of this convention.
In addition. the Governor has made
members of this convention all mem
bers of any patriotic, historical or
educational association, and all mem
bers of the clergy.
The Coronado Commemorative Con-
vention will bring together, in Albu-
querque, on the 9th of October, the
very best thought of New Mexico and
the Southwest. Its work is bound to
he of deepest interest and to bring
most valuable results.

Sacramento, Cal, Sept THE eff
fort to have the fifteenth national ir-
rigation congress pass a resolution
the withdrawal of the duty levied on
lumber has failed.
Another important action today was
the decision to eliminate the resolu-
tion protesting against the enactment
of any further legislation favoring the
Philippines. With this latter excep-
ton, the report of the committee on
resolutions was adopted as read, and
the policy of President Roosevelt in
relation to the reclamation service the
conservation of water and the forests
of the country and other matters, was
endorsed.
The sugar question was only set
tied after great discussion, the friends
of the beet sugar industry making a
strong fight in their interests. Arthur
Briggs succeeded in getting the con-
gress to pass a resolution in the int
crest of the California fruit growers,
in relation to the use of sulphur il
drying fruit. The resolution asks the
department of agriculture not to en-
force the regulation of the pure food
law in the matter without further in
vestigation. Congress adopted unani-
mously the report of the committee
on permanent organization.
New OFFICERS Elected.
Frank C. Goudy, Denver, president
George Barstow, Texas, first vice
president.
John E. Baker, California, second
vice president.

vice president.

Albuquerque Gets Next Congress.
Albuquerque, N M, was selected
as the meeting place of the sixteenth
irrigation congress- The only other
city named in opposition was Walla
Walla, Wash.
Hon. R. E. Twitcaell, of Las Vegas,
made an eloquent appeal for Albu-
querque. With the exception of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, the state
California was excused from voting.
Col Twitchell, who played an i'm
portaat part in landing the congress
for New Mexico, is a prominent law
yer and attorney for the Santa Fe
railroad at Las Vegas. He was the
chief speaker at the Pecos Valley
irrigation celebration held at Carls-
bad in July. With the news that
New Mexico city has secured the con-
vention of next year goes out Ros-
wells hope for the congress the year
following, since it is hardly reasona-
bile to expect the congress to be sent
to New Mexico two years in success
sion.

Roswell, N. M
Dear Sir Replying to your re-
quest, of date July 81, 1907. addressed
to Hon. George w. Prichard, for
construction of Section 2414, c. L. of
1897, with reference to the number
of members of City Council required
to vote in the affirmative in order to
adopt bylaws or pass an ordinance,
I have to advise you that, in my opin-
ion, this section should be construed
literally, and the passage of ordin-
ances or adoption of bylaws requires
an affirmative vote of a majority of
the whole number of members elect
ed. Whether or not all such members
be present and voting can make no
difference in the number of affirma-
tive votes necessary to adopt a by
law or pass an ordinance. Very res
pectfully,

ATHLETICS At
HIGH SCHOOLS
OFFICERS OF ASSOCIATION ARE
ELECTED AND WORK is
BEGUN.

To look after the athletic activities
at the high school, the following Off
GERS of the athletic association were
elected for the ensuing year President
]. w. Shepherd vice president, Miss
Vincent German: secretary, Clifford
Douglas; treasurer, Ray Horn. For
members of the executive committee
the ballot resulted in the election of
Delbert McCanse, Geneva Gardner and
Maude Earring. Coach Glow was elect
ed football manager in addition 10 his
duties as trainer.
While no definite schedule has as
yet been arranged for the season, it
is hoped that the following games
will be played, either at Walla Walia
school. Lewiston high school, Colfax
high school, Columbia college, Spokane
high school, Waitsburg academy, and
Weston Normal school. None of these
games has as yet been definitely ar
ranged, but the management is in
correspondence with these schools and
hopes to fix the dates.
The game with Whitman college
will not be played, as the coach of
the high school team does not feel
like letting his men go up against
he heavy college team. 1t is possible,
however, that the second team from
the college may meet high school.
Prospects for a good scholastic team
at the high school are excellent this
year. The boys are turning out in
good shape and when the high school
runs up against the o.her schools of
the Inland Empire this fall there will
be some interesting contests.

New students and old ones as well
We're in attendance, besides many
members of the faculty and alumni.
The reception was a success from
every point of view and the students
all feel acquainted with each other
and ready for :he years work.
novel scheme to introduce the
students was devised. The boys
formed in one. long line and the girls
inf another. The two lines then coun-
termarched and each boy shook hands
with each girl and exchanged names
with her. After this the girls were
given slips of paper with some boys
name In this manner they were
paired for the grand march which
was one of the best events of the
evening.
In a short but entertaining musical
program, several members of the
conserva Dry rendered some beautiful
selections, all of which We're heartily
encOred. Mrs Henri Apply sang the
Cuckoo song after which Miss
BransCombe gave the spinning chorus
from Wagner-Lizt. Roy A. Williams
then rendered selection on the vio-
lin which closed the program.
The rest of the evening was spent
in social chat and after light refresh
ments had been served the evening
was closed with the singing of college
songs.
