HAS : HIS PLEDGE

Though, in one sense, ne comes
home upon his shield" a great vic
tory for good government has been
won by Governor Hagerman, and the
fight will continue. In b first pub
lie speech Mr.. Hagerman made after
the announcement of mis- selection to
be Governor, he made a pledge OF
high honor and Importance. In speak
ing from the real platform of a car
at the Roswell station, he closed as
follows:
"FeIIow Citizens: fully realize
that in the serious 81 that lies be-
fore me I shall need the active aid,
cooperation and support of all the
people of New Mexico. Without such
support ! cannot make g success. ]
want your help and the help of all
honest, active, straightforward men,
and I wish to assure all such men
from whatever section of the Terrific
ry they come, whatever be their par
ty, their creed, their birth or their
ancestry, tia they will receive the
same treatment and the same welcome
from me. Il have 40 preiudices what
ever against any portion or section
of our population. If ! have preju-
dfces, ! think the most violent ones
are against dishonesty and corruption
i'm public life. ! shall start out with
the belief that people will treat me
with the openness and fairness with
which | shall try to treat them. CA7d
there is where he made his worst
mistake, ia assuming that ~fair-dealing
could be expected from the political
of New Mexico.-Ed.) My
greatest hope is to give New Mexic
a straightforward, clean, honest and
b~usinessIike administration, and,
with your help and the confidence OF
the people of the Territory behind me,
! will do my utmost to do So"
The Record believes that Mr.. las
-erma1 has not swerved from this
purpose, and that he has won the
confidence of the people throughout
the Territory, even as he has won
the confidence of Roswell people. Yet
he is about to be sacrificed at the
instance of a disreputable gang OF
pot-house politicians. He may go
Town, but the which ne rep
resents has been transferred to the
hearts and minds of an awakened
people, and the fna triumph of good
government must rebound to his ev-
erlasting fame.

The St. Joseph Cattle Market.

South. St. Joseph No., April 49,
The week opened with moderately lib
eral receipts of cattle at this point and
included was the largest proportion
of steers seen here on any one day in
the past month. The total of cattle
in sight at the leading markets was
also quite liberal but there was a very
fair demand here for light and heavy
weight steers at around steady prices
while anytlink on the heavy order
showed rather a slow demand with
prices inclined to weakness. There
were no strictly prime heavy steers
here but a very good showing of 1900
to 1900 pound styles of fair to good
quality that sold largely in a range
of $3.50 q $500. A very good quail
ty of ITO pound averages sold up to
$3.50 and the bulk of light LIT handy
weight steers went in a range of 81
q $3.50. The proportion of the stock
was very light and the market was
steady to firm with no strictly fancy
heifers offered but with some good
kinds selling at $50. Veal calve
are still on declining basis although
$500 is a quotable top price. A few
stock cattle here sold steady to firm
values and more of tnem would find
ready outlet.
The aggregate showing of hogs at
leading markets today was considera-
bly, less than on the opening day of
the previous week. The local trade
showed active tone and prices were
strong to a shade higher with smooth
light n butcher weights command
ing the top prices. The range in
prices are still very narrow, will per

AkA1gld JOu1ud1
Every decent citizen Of Arizona re
Joices that gambling i outlawed d
this territory. The going into effeci
Of this new law last Monday really
marks an epoch in the progress of the
territory for it serves notice that Ar.
iona is no longer tolerant of crime
that wrecks homes and brings me1
and women to the verge of dispair.
There is no disagreement over the
enOrmity of the curse, it being impos-
sible to find a decent man who will
defend public gambling. That it has
in spite of this sentiment, been toler-
ated for SO many years, no only in
Arizona, but in other territories, and
states, affords a problem in sociology
which now seem nea solution.
Am l my brothers keeper" is a
question as old as humanity, and its
answer has been too often in the ne
gative when it has come to the point
of protecting men against the profess
sional gambler.
But it is not merely the poor fool
who CANDLES that needs to be con
sidered. The question mas broadened
to AXE in the sorrowing wives and
children and he wrecked homes.
What community can afford to have
it's very life Slapped by the leeches
who toll not and render not n
cents worth of value in return for the
money stolen-yes, stolen-from the
victims of the gambling habit.
The foundation of all prosperity.
all decency, all satisfaction in this
life is in good and comfortable homes.
This truth applies to Lowell and to
Arizona as much as to other parts of
the country. Public gambling strikes
at this foundation, and strikes a dead
ly blow. Let us remember the help
less little children who suffer and sor-
row without knowing the cause; let
US remember the patient and %virtuous
wives who are handicapped and dis
couraged because professional gamb-
lers have the money that belongs to
them and their homes: INC remember
ing these and the great social ques-
ton at stake let US bring to bear all
the power of good citizenship in sup
port of the new law and the offices
sworn to enforce it. Let the curse
be smashed until there is not a YES
tige of it left; let the officers whose
uty it is to enforce the law feel that
they have the support of every decent
man in the community. AT the outset
they are entitled not only to this, but
to confidence. But if they later on
become care1.sS, neglect their duty
INK abuse the public confidence let
them be exposed and condemned. Pub
lie gambling must end for good and
all in this community.

CLING TO THE IDEAL.

lt is better for the people
That they reach for an ideal,
That they give their future nations
better lives,
Though the standard be unreal,
Though the hope meets no fulfillment,
Though the fact in empty dreams
alone survives.
II the people rest contented
With the good they have accomplish,
Then they retrograde and slowly
sink away.
IT'S the duty of the poet,
It's the duty of the statesman
To inspire a nations life with 1obler
aims;
And dishonor will o'ershadow
Him who danes not, or n falsely
His immortalfruited mission mis-
proclaims-
