Last week, Feb. 22nd, the Democrats
held their annual banquet in Topeka &
made their little talks Our Patsy ].
Deane represented Ellis county, made
nice little talk and got his picture in
the papers, and it is whispered will be
the next candidate for Representative
of Ellis Co. And they told he was one
of the young men. only 80, and remain
ed unmarried in this marrying county,
where a young man when he gets to be
21 and a girl 18 is expected to get
married.
For his talk he took as his subject:
"Always Democratic" and said, in
part: ''The chief reason that am
here is to tell you as an Ellis county
democrat, who has never known any
other creed, some of the reasons why
Ellis county is always democratic, and
why'all western Kansas will be as safe
ly democratic as Ellis county is to-day.
We are especially proud of the 23rd
Judicial district this year. For the first
time in the history of the district we
elected a democrat to the bench, and
elected of the representatives. At
the next election it will be 5. Trego
will send democrat and also Cove we
confidently expect to see represented
in the next House by that stalwart
democrat, the veteran, Col. Reynolds.
There used to be time when some
misguided people seemed to think a
man should apologize for being dem
ocrat. To-day the average republican
feels called upon to apologize for not
being a democrat. In Ellis county we
are all democrats: We used to have
some republicans out there, but like
President Roosevelt, they are fast be-
coming democrats. Some of the demo
Gratis in our county were born that way,
and still remain true to the principals
of their fathers, but in this day and
age of progress and enlightment the
mere fact that mans father was a
democrat or republican is no good
reason why he should be one. Some
thing more than sentiment is now re-
quired, and it is not on account of ira
dition or inherited belief that we are
democrats in Ellis county

The Thaw trial in New York has be-
come. a disgrace, and Jerome, who as
pired to be Governor, has sunk way
down in the estimation of the people,
for it looks now as if he was in the
pay of the sensational papers to make
evidence as dirty as possible, to show
how low and detestable this married
man, with nice family, and his boon
companions had sunk in decency.
She nor these other poor girls he had
dragged down are not on trial.
Not question whether Thaw was
driven temporary insane by finding
the renegade was pestering Thaw's
wife and shooting him down publicly
as he deserved. And if Jerome is the
high toned man he pretends to be, if
he had the morals of that great, wicked
city at stake, when he found that this
man had ruined this 16 old year girl, had
nagged her after she became a mans
wife, he should have told that jury to
acquit as ''justifable.

In the Knoll case for the killing OF
Alois Denning IN drunken fight at
Victoria years ago, the jury this time
decided he was guilty of a simple as
sault and battery, that there was no
intention to kill, and in the scuffle for
the pistol Denning had, Knoll got his
knee on him, from which injury Den
ming died soon after. This is what at
torney Saum has always contended for;
he has fought it twice through this

Denning to let the whiskey business

LEFT-HANDED vINDIcATIoN.

From Albuquerque Journal.
First reports of the Bursum trial at
Silver City gave the public to under
stand that the case went to trial on
its merits, that the court had before
it the Stafford report, the report of
the Colorado Title and Trust compa-
ny, AID the Territory's bill of excep-
tons, drawn by Mr.. McHarg, and
signed by Attorney General Pricnard.
But the official record shows that
when the case was reached in court
the bill of exceptions had been over
ruled, the report of the Colorado conn
pany was excluded by stipulation, ap-
proved by the court, and which be-
came part of the record, and that
there was absolutely nothing before
the court except the skeleton of the
Stafford report after all references to
the Colorado report had been elimin-
ated-and as the essential part of the
Stafford report consisted in the main
of attempts to refute the findings of
the, Colorado report, there was prac-
tically nothing left for the court to
pass upon except the bare and uncon-
tested demand of Mr.. Bursum for
judgment against the Territory in the
sum of 81, 1886, and as there was no
objection to the claim on the part of
the Territory, the court could do moth
ing but grant it.
All that is clear enough and re-
quires no explanation, but why the
Territory should withdraw all the
foundations upon which it could de-
fend itself and its treasury, and allow
Judgment to go against it by default,
is one of those abstruse legal prob
lens which the Morning Journal, not
being up in the intricacies of the law
does not attempt to eXplain-especial-
1y in view of the fact that the attor
ney for the Colorado Title and Trust
company has said in published inter
view that he is prepared to prove the
correctness of the report made by his
company, in any proper proceedings.
No doubt all this will be made clear
i'll due time SO that the public may
understand it

STARTED IN RECORD"
Block of One Story Frame Structures
Go Up in Flames, and Very Little
of the Contents Saved Loss Esti-
mated at Twenty Thousand Dollars.
Insurance Small.

A telephone message to the Daily
Record brings the news that the lit
tie town of Kenna, about forty miles
northeast of Roswell on the Pecos
Valley railroad, was almost destroy
ed by fire last night. A whole block
of buildings, representing a major
part of the business interests of the
village, was entirely destroyed, and
only a small part of the contents was
saved. The loss is estimated at twe1-
ty thousand dollars, with very little
insurance. The cause of the fire is
when the flames were bursting thru
the roof of the Kenna Record office.
The town was practically without fire
protection, even worse off tnan Ros-
well. and nothing could be done to
save the buildings. The flames spread
rapidly and consumed the buildings
in which were located Walker &
Hughes real estate Office, Littlefield's s
meat market, Thompson's shoe shop
and the general store of Cooper &
Son 1t was from the general store
that the work of rescue was accom-
plished, part of the stock being saw
ed The buildings were all one-story
frame structures and burned rapidly.
Kenna presents a sorry spectacle
today, but her leading spirits say
that. like Chicago and San Francis
co, she will rise again from the ashes
greater than ever.

The Cost is Certainly Fixed.
ahoma City Times-Journal.

Oklahoma City Times-Journal.
A newspaper is a business institu-
tion to a greater extent than almost
any other concern. The business end
is the important one connected with
any daily newspaper. The expense is
enormous and there is need for con
slant care to keep the expense with
in the income.
The experienced newspaper man
knows to within a few hundred dol
lars what certain field will stand
and makes his expenses to cores
pond. Towns of certain sizes will
yield approximately a certain income.
These things nave been settled by
experiment, and no amount of shout
ing or hocus pocus will materially
change the results. This is why cities
under 100000 do not have more than
two daily papers. This is why third
daily paper at Topeka, Kan, failed,
and is why a third daily paper start
ed in this city went to pieces. Wner-
ever these papers are started they en-
tail loss not only on the men who go
into the venture, but on the papers
which needed and were entitled to
all the patronage.
When the Post was started in this
city the Times-Journal saw that in
stead of expansion, retrenchment
would be necessary. Contemplated
oranges were delayed and today all
must understand that this course was
not only wise but was necessary.
The Post in it's public statement
makes it evident that there was ex-
pended by that paper fully $4,000
besides the money taken il on sub
scriptions and for advertising. This
indicates the vast cost of running
paper.
Now the Times-Journal as one of
two papers in the city, will secure
income enough to warrant important
improvements and these will be
made
No paper can be better than the
people are willing to pay for. The
Times Journal wishes to thank the
business men and others for their
steadfast support and promises them
that the peoples friend win always
keep up with the demands of the me
tropolis of the state.

THE PASSING OF A
ROSWELL LANDMARK

IF Henry WattrSon were to see
that said Judge Granville A. Rich
ardson today, as he pointed to the dis
mantled heap of Rock and "dobes'
that once formed the old Park Hotel
on Main street, me would write the
most beautiful editorial imaginable.
1t looks to me like you, a reporter for
the great Roswell Record should do
the same" Evidently the judge does
not know much about the duties of
reporters-findi1g out what other peo
pie know
HE would tell how one of the oldest
of Roswell's rapidly disappearing
landmarks was being leveled to make
room for the more modern buildings
that are demanded by progress and
civilization. He would remark that the
first two-story building in the town
was being torn down and how the last
adobe structure but one in the busi-
aess section of Main street was no
more" Sounds almost as pathetic as
Col. Watterson's wall against prohibit
ton in Kentucky
Turning reminiscent, tae Oldest
resident lawyer of the Pecos Valley
then recalled that he ate the first
meal after his arrival in Roswell in
the old building which now being

room was in the wing that ran to the
north. That was in September OF 1888,
and the building was then about two
years old 1t was built by George t.

The old building stood there when
Main street was a ragged looking
highway and when paths were more

of the building, which appeared new

DR.. Calhoun of Nashville, and Rev.
DIR. Donaldson, of Denver.
Undoubtedly the most important ac
ton taken by the synod was the ap-
pointment of a committee of promi-
nent ministers of the synod to take
up the work of securing a site and
providing funds for the erection of a
IN caring for the many afflicted who
are crowding into the southwest. The
synod definitely determined on the
plan and it's committee has full pow
er to proceed with the work.
Rev. Hugh A. Cooper. of Albuquer-
que, has been one of the leading work
ers for this notable forward step, hav-
ing come to realize fully the need for
such an institution through his work
il Albuquerque, and is chairman of
the committee which has been placed
in charge of the work.
The first work of the committee
will be the selection of the site for
the sanitarium, and already Silver
City has offered to donate a large
tract of land for the purpose. Mr..
stitution may be secured for this city.
But wherever it is located it is the
determination of the committee to
make it an up-to-date institution such
as will fill the great need of the re-
gion.
The following extract from the min
utes of the synod shows. the scope of
the work:
1.-The Synod of New Mexico, i'm
pressed with tine very great need and
the charitable character of the work,
recommends the establishment of a
sanatorium to be under the direct SUI
pervision of this synod, and hereby
appoints a committee of five minis
ters. one from each Presbytery of the
synod. who shall choose five laymen
to act with them on said committee,
and who are empowered as follows:
Ito secure a site, select name
and consider the scope of the insti-
tution's work.
2.-To solicit and accept gifts in
Me name of the synod.
'3.-To incorporate such institution
and prepare for the election of a
board of directors at the next meeting
of the synod.
Following are the names of the
committees: Rev. Hugh "A. Cooper
chairman. Albuquerque; Rev. Warner
H. Du Bose, Tucumcari, N. NJ; Rev.
John Meeker, Alamogordo, N. NJ;
Rev. Frank C. Reed, Flagstaff, Ariz.;
Rev. C. H. Love, Clifton, Ariz.
While the plans for this institution
are still in embryo, the institution it
self has been definitely decided on
and with such a powerful orga1iza-
ton as the synod behind it, there is
no question of its success. 1t would
be an Institution which Albuquerque
could well afford to go after, and Mr.
Cooper will doubtless receive every
encouragement in his effort to secure
its location here.
