A Word to Anti

Are our troubles worth the cussing,
Is the question we'er discussing.
You can crack your fists and howl
And tear the air
But, my friend, don't get excited,
For your sure to be indicted;
You will have to dig up anti
If you swear.
You can say "Gosh" if its handy,
Or "Dog-gone-it" is a dandy,
And genteel word is "Pshaw".
Or "I'll declare;
But with all your fret and fussing
You will have to drop the cussing
For its dig up dig up anti
If you swear.
Now, Friend Anti, don't begin it,
For there's truly nothing in it,
We have tried it hard and often. too,
l fear.
You can whip your wives and neigh
bors,
But amidst these cheerful labors
Don't forget, you dig up Anti
If you swear.

THE MOUNTAIN TRAVELLED

h parturient mountain has ira
vailed. and the result is a very dimi-
nutive mouse. The Bursum machine
has played its last card in its desper-
ate effort to embarrass or discredit
the governor of e Mexico who has
had the courage to expose the rotten
ness of certain individual supporters
of the machine. This caro- was play
ed by the supporters of the machine
in the house at the beginning of the
present week and they expected it to
fall as a bomb upon the supporters of
the governor and the people Of the
territory. APPARENTLY imagining that
1t would counterbala1ce all the tangi-
BILE. concrete. evidence OF ~rottenness
under which the machine is stagger-
ing to its end. But already, with the
week half gone, it mas proved itself
a boomerang, returning to torment
its inventors. The people have read
the house resolution and have gone
directly to the heart of it. They have
noted that it pays 10 attention at
all to the history of the land deal in
question, and only takes up the gov
ernor's connection Herewith, from
which they draw the very natural con
clusiOn that the machine is not trying
to throw light upon the corrupt deal
referred to, but to find something up
on which it can base a charge against
the governor as a punishment for hav
ing frustrated another deal of the
same character, and a worse one.

BOOSTING EDUcA-
TON FROM THE TOP.

Saturday Evening Post.
That's justly-celebrated publicist,
Mr.. George AIDE, lays down the fol-
lowing law of pnilalthropic efficiency
IF you want to boost get under
Meath Mr.. Rockefeller's record
breaking gift of thirty-two millions
in a lump to the General Education
Board naturally reminds us of the
dictum. This brings the total of Mr..
Rockefeller's gifts for educational
purposes up to eighty millions. Mr..
Carnegie is only a few laps in the
rear. and a complete census of the
also-rans would show a considerable
population bearing gifts.
Practically all this money is pour
ed out on top. The great bulk of it
gOeS for education of the sort called
higher" That is, it brings addition
al opportunity to those who already
enjoy a rather goodly measure of OPP
portunity. Hardly at all does it light
en- the way for those who have no op-
portunity. The boos is available only
for hose who are already up at least
to the middle of the heap.
Building greater plants for high
er education" will not help the break
er boy who works a ten-hour turn at
the Goa mines. 1t offers nothing to
the child who has nothing, but tolls
all his days and all mis- strength in
a cotton mill or glass factory. The
millions are given by those who re-
main steadfast in the simple belief
of their fathers that this is a land
where everybody has an equal oppor-
tunity. They finger the tangible re-
suits of changed economic conditions
in their owl huge fortunes: but they
staunchly refuse to see other results
of those same changes.
We wish the General Education
Board would set aside a couple of
for the purpose of educat-
ing princely donors as to child lab
o and other modern conditions.
There might be more boosting from
underneath.

will have their names, with those of
their children placed on separate
cards in the name wheel. The same
number of cards will be placed in a
number wheel, and a child will then
draw simultaneously from each wheel
first a number an dthe1 a name. The
lucky owners of the first numbers
drawn will be given the first choice
of allotments. The drawing will con-
tinue until Friday, when the names
of all Indians not appearing before
noon of that day will be drawn. The
filings will begin two weeks from to-
day and fifty will be accepted each
day, thus requiring about forty-tnree
days to complete the allotment. Mem
bers of the tribe will not be allowed
to sell or trade their chances and
must file in accordance with the num-
bers drawn and assigned to them
during the present drawing.
During the last week the Osages
have been the hosts at the annual ga
thering and dance of the Indians of
the territory, their guests including
the Poncas, Otoes, Kaws, Pawnees,

Reform Legislation in Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn, March 11.-There
are likely to be strenuous times in the
Tennessee legislature wnen that body
reconvenes this week., after a recess
taken to allow the legislative com
mittees to investigate two-cent fares,
car shortage, the insurance trust, the
conduct for a reduction of the passen-
ger rates on the railroads of the
state, 1t is not considered likely that
such a bill will be passed during the
present session. 1t is believed that
the revenue and assessment commit
tee will favor a heavy increase in the
privilege taxes on railroads, Pull
maj cars, street railway corporations
and telegraph and telephone compan-
les, in order to make up for the loss
in saloon
The Memphis charter bill, which
has met with the bitter opposition of
many citizens of that city, will come
up again as soon as the Legislature re
sumes its sessions, and it is stated
that the friends of the measure now
have enough votes pledged to pass
it. The opposition is now more deter
mined than v however, aad a
large crowd of Memphis business and
professional men will be On hand to
oppose the charter bill.
Investigation Of the alleged "insur-
ance combine" has developed that
higher rates are charged than in any
other state, and this the legislature
win attempt to remedy.

lation useful to the Territory is to

those members refusing to aid an I'M

case it is time to know the men who
are going to do it So far it is the
Republican organization" which is
doing these things and for which
these things are don Instead of
backing the efforts of the honest man
who has been honored as Governor,
it is doing all that it a to embar-

HONESTY. COURAGE AND BRAINS

"A man u be honest IN the first
place: but that by itself is not
enough. No matter how good a man
is. if he is timid he cannot accom-
plish mucn in the world. There is
only a very circumscribed sphere of
usefulness for the timid good man.
So, besides being honest, a man has
got to hav courage. too. And these
two together are not enough. No mat
ter how brave and honest he is, if
he is a natural born fool, you can do
little with him. Honesty first; then
courage; then brains, and all are in
dispensable. We have no room in a
healthy community for either the
knave, the fool, the weakling, or the
coward.-Theodore Roosevelt.

The house has very promptly pass
ed an anti-gambling act 1t seems to
b a good measure, and covers the
ground thoroughly. The members of
the house deserve great credit for
this. The Record does not believe
that 1t was passed merely to prevent
Mr.. Spiess of the council getting the
credit. 1t is To- up to the council.

If the anti,gambling bill fails tn,

IL the anti-gambling bill fails the
Republicans are wholly responsible.
That party is in control. They have
the Governor, the council and the
house almost unanimously. The only
communities in New Mexico that
have suppressed gambling are Dem
ocratic. Arizona has abolished gam
bling-and that Territory is Democra
tic. The minute the legislature a d
journs without passing an anti-gam-
bling bill it is al issue and a burning
one to be settled at the polls. The
Republicans will have shown tnei
un~willingness, lack of courage and
their ~unfitness.

Roswell people should be the last
in the Territory to be accused of any
special interest in the passage of an
anti-gamblilg act. They have settled
the matter for themselves locally,
and will continue TO prohibit gam
bling regardless of what the legisla-
ture does or does lot do.
