CHURCH'S CENTENNIAL.

The following interesting article
by Our revered townsman, I. w.
Hartman, appeared in the Informing
Press this morning.
Bloomsbury, July "a, 1907.
Learning that the Reformed
church OF Bloomsbury is about to
celebrate its one hundred years
since its organization, and as have
been resident of Bloomsbury for
65 years, and a close observer of
the changes during that period,
feel, if can, add little to the in
terest of the occasion, by noting a
few historical facts. My first
knowledge of the old church upon
the hill was when a boy on the
farm, coming up to the great Loder
revival meetings, when many of my
associates were converted and join
ed the different churches. The first
regular pastor of the Reformed
church to my knowledge was Rev.
Danial Tobias who had several
charges and preached. i'll German.
He resided in a frame house where
DR.. Johns residence now stands.
In alter years he erected small
building on the lot and opened a
drug store. Rev. Henry Funk
came OH and assisted him lin the
several charges by preaching in
English and afterwards became the
pastor until about 1854 when he
resigned. He was succeeded by the
Rev. VIM. Goodrich, with whom l
became intimately acquainted in
connection as an associate in the
organization of the Bloomsbury Lit
erary Institute. He was a man of
pleasing address and good preach
er. During his ministry the Re
formed church building at the cor
ner of Iron and Third streets was
erected. Previous to that the con
gregation worshipped in the old
church at the head of Center street.
He resigned and was followed by
Rev. Sheip in about 1866.
In the meantime number of the
country charges were cut off. They
had one or two preachers for short
time until Revs. Hoffmeir and Krebs
were known as pastors, when in
1885 Rev. Strunk was elected and
accepted the pastorate. The church
appeared to take on new life. l
myself frequently, when an oppor-
tunity would offer, went to hear
him and always came away pleased.
With his own congregation was
sorry to part with him. Since then
the church has had several preach
ers who kept up the religious stand
ard of good preaching. think il
was credit to the Rev. Breidenbaugf
as a debt paying preacher and
through his efforts the church was
cleared of the debt. Credit should
be given to the Snyder estate and
Simon c. Shive for its location and
for good financial aid. My prayer
is that the church may grow in
large numbers and in spirituality.
Yours, etc,
I. w. HARTMAN.

NEW MEXICO STATEHOOD.

Governor George Curry is said to
be authority for the statement that
President Roosevelt has said he will
favor the admission of New Mexico
as a single state.
The assertion is by no ear inn
probable, because New Mexico IS re-
garded as Republican, and the Presi-
dent and his party naturally being
eager to Offset the strength which
Oklahoma will add to the Democratic
party, will seek to bring this about
through the admission of New Mex
leo. If admitted to statehood, New
Mexico would send two senators and
two or three representatives to the
national congress.
But would these be Republican?
Mr.. Roosevelt doubtless believes they
would be, and this opinion is shared
by other Republican party leaders,
who would also favor single state
hood for tae territory This is evident
from the scheme which was concoct-
ed by the Republicans when they for
mulated the Joint statehood PROPOSE
ton with a view to offsetting with the
New Mexico vote the Democratic ma
jority which was conceded to Arizo-
ma. But the Republicans are likely
to be as greatly mistaken in this as
they were in their gerrymander OF
Oklahoma. They were quite sure that
the latter would be Republican, else
a Republican congress would not
have consented to its admission; but
in this they were both disappointed
and chagrined. Oklahoma went Dem
ocratic at it's very first state election
by so great a majority that the Re-
publcans have cen left without a
single hope for the future. And a
similar result in New Mexico would
be no more surprising. That terri
tory is Republican now, but this is
because it is controlled by a Repub-
lican administration which has built
up a political machine through which
all who are longing for political pat
ronage, most of those who are weak
kneed, and many who are ~independ-
ent, have become adherents to the
Republican party But should there
be a Democratic administration dur
ing h coming four years, these same
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-10-10

Influences would make the territory
Democratic so close is the norma
strength of the two parties. And if
it should be admitted to statehood
the Democrats would have an even
cnance with the Republicans to carry
it.
The Democratic party in the terri
tory is disorganized now because OF
the advantage given their adverse
ries by the Federal patronage they
have to bestow; but if his patronage
should be transferred to the Demo
Gratis for disposal, there is but little
doubt hat the Republican party
would be in the minority.
If Mr.. Roosevelt and his party wisr
to trust this matter to the people OF
New Mexico by giving them state
hood and thus removing the influence
of Federal patronage, there is but lit
tie doubt hat the Democrats of the
territory will welcome the ssue' witt
full faith that like Oklahoma, New
Mexico will elect a Democratic state
ticket and send Democrats to bot
the United States senate and the low
er house of co1gress.-El Paso News

THE WORSHIP OF TREES.

The suggestion that this old relig-
ion might, in a measure, De a good
one TO practice in Roswell, moves the
Record to reproduce the following
extract from Mrs. Earle's talk made
yesterday to the Woman's Club:
The religious belief of the old leu
tonic tribes, the Angles, the Saxons
and the Franks, vas a mythology sim
liar to that of the S~candinavians;
their god, Wooden, ruler of the Uni
verse, holding the same supreme po-
sition in the religious life of the old
Anglo-Saxon as did the Scandinavian
Thor in the extreme northern myth
o1ogy. Wooden was the god of war,
the god of the great out-of-doors; Civ
er of fruits to the earth, and presided
especially over agriculture.
The Teutonic peoples were pro-
foundly influenced by their religious
life and neglected no duty imposed
upon them by it's practice.
The savage Anglo-Saxon tribes
gathered for worship, and to offer sac
rifces to their gods and g~oddesses,
in great groves of trees; and certain
trees were held sacred by them. No
greater insult could be offered by an
assailing warrior tribe than to mutt
late or destroy the sacred trees OF
the Saxon.
This is not a bad religion-we
might teach this religion with profit
to our own citizens. Within the past
year, mere in our own Roswell, trees
sacred to the uses of our children
have been ruthlessly cut down The
growth of a dozen years destroyed
in a few hours. applause But
must not spend too much time this
afternoon in talking of C~hristianized
America, but must tell you more OF
an old, primitive savage people, work
ing their way toward higher Things
through blood and toll, who saw il
a noble tree something worthy O
reverence, of care, worthy even o
worship"

BUSINESS AND
RIGHTEOUSNESS


From New York Sun.
In his Keokuk, Iowa, speech yester-
day Mr.. Roosevelt, using righteous
ness" in the sense of conformity with
the Rooseveltian policies, said:
If righteousness conflicts with the
fancied needs of business, then the
latter must go to the wall"
Yet in the next paragraph but one
he promises immunity to those who
are righteous" in the ordinary sense:
IF a man does well, if ne acts hon
estly, he las nothing to fear from the
Administration"
Thousands of the righteous" in
both the commo and the Roosevelt
ian meaning must suffer, must go to
the wall, have gone to the wall, in
the conflict of business with My Pol
icies." The ma1 who Ices we'll and
acts honestly must suffer with the
wicked.
In his speech at the Minnesota
State Fair September 2. 1901, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
1T is probably true that the large
majority of the fortunes that now ex-
list in this country have been amassed
not by injuring u people but as an
incident to the comforting of great
benefits upol the community; and
this, no matter what may have been
the conscious purpose of those amass-
ing them"
The sheep are many and the goats
are few; but the f1ocks must be
slaughtered indiscriminately. WHAT is
such a plebeian thing as business con
pared to a great movement for right
eousnesS?
