TO EXAMINE DEVICES
FOR SAVING LIVES.

Boston, Moss, June 24.-Hundreds
of appliances and devices designed for
the purpose of saving lives. While a
large proportion of the inventions sub
mitted are worthless, the list includes
several devices of merit which will
probably be adopted for use in the life
saving stations. Captain Kimball, su-
perintendent of the United States life
saving service, is in attendance at the
meeting in an advisory capacity.

WASTING AMMUNITION
ON A DEAD BIRD.

Roswell, N. M, June "a, 1907.
Editor Record 1t is surprising
to me that you show so little respect
to antiquity and seniIity by giving so
much of your space and energy to the
editor of the New Mexican. Let him
alone. The old man has for years
been past the summit of life and on
the decliVfty which leads to that
Great Beyond" He was in the days
of his power a man of parts-some
bad, but by far more, good. II you
had known him then you would be
compelled to be charitable to him
now. The most painful evidence of
the decadence to which / have allud-
ed appeared a few days ago in the
gleeful approval given, in the New
Mexican, to the boorish action of one
T. Roosevelt in refusing to allow Joh1
Temple Graves or any other Georgian
to speak on Georgia Day at the
jamestown IMPOSITION. Ted's mother
having been native of Georgia, he
was invited to take part in the pro
ceedings on Georgia Day at James
town. He delivered himself of an auto
geographic panegyric that would have
been considered slightly egotistical
in anyone else. Anxious that the ef
feet of his own horn-blowing should
not be lost on the multitude, when
the other speakers, invited guests. the
same as himself, undertook to speak.
the great Square Dealer started the
hoodlum cry of Cut it out, cut it out"
1t is needless to add that every fun
key within ear-shot took up the re-
frain.
This procedure the editor of the
New Mexican most gleefully endorses.
We have always known the New Mex
lean man to be an obsequious parti-
san, but in his pristine days he never
let his partisanship lead him into for
getfulness of what was due from one
gentleman to another, nor approval
of boorish insult to an invited guest.
The old man is not himself any more.
So please let him rest
OLD NEW MEXICAN.

SUSTAIN MAYORS VETO
ASK EXTENT|0N
OF TIME TO
DIG D|TCHES

Health Inspector Fithian has re-
ceived communications from a num-
Der of property-owners in the north
ern and western sections of the city,
who were recently notified to dig
bitches along certain points of their
property. to help exterminate mos
quitoes, asking that the local board
be more lenient with them.
They wish to have the time limit
of digging the bitches extended until
spring, as they claim that the frozen
condition of the ground at this time,
prevents them from doing the work
as it should be done and at con-
siderably increased expense.
The inspector has learned from
State Entomologist John B. Smith,
that he has left the work entirely in
the hands of the local board. There
seems no doubt, but that the board
will grant the wishes of the property
owners, SO long the bitches are dug
before April /, 1908.
The property owners, along this
line, of which there are about eleven.
seem unanimous in wanting the work
delayed until spring. even those who
have already started to dig.
