O, that's not so bad; we are de
feated by nineteen votes, which is
the closest shave the hell-holes yet
have had.
The following item from the RE
view" makes mighty interesting read
ing nOw:-''The position and actions
of Mr. Thurman are steadily making
votes for the license question" Last
year no-license was defeated by rs,
and this year by 10. Next year we'll
finish the job. But what became of
the votes we made for license?
Senator Merry:-"If Roberts is
elected it will be by license votes.'
This was said it'll the intention of
handing a boquet to the ~"insurgents''
but, alas, the result shows simply how
impotent that element is in these
''dlggips."
The ''insurgent" leaders voted for
Roberts and for license, while many
"Machine' men voted for Meehan and
for nO-license with the result that 10
license has been the most successful
issue in this campaign in the progress
it has made.
One thing is very clearly stamped on
the face of the returns,-viZ. that the
nO-license element is in the "Machine''
house, rather than in the ''insurgent''
camp Many of the best temperance
men however are identified with
neither of them in q very marked
manner.

FAREWELL

FAREW ELL
And now the time has come for the
editor of this column to cease his evil
work of "villfying and slandering
his fellow men,, to stop "stirring up
hatred, pickering and turmoil in q
peaceful community, !" to Quit ''breed-
ing discord among neighbours" to de-
sist in ''breaking up the church of
which he has been chosen PASTOR"
and to cease "making the devil smile
with sardonic and grim satisfaction"
Il has been a YER pleasant task to
do all this with our little pencil, and
we have enjoyed the work more than
we can tell.
1t has been q great privilege and
honor to be allowed to edit q column
in the Herald-Advance and to know
that it has been so widely read; we
have also had the pri ilege of con-
trolling the editorial columns of the
Review for some weeks past, and we
feel certain that without the space SO
freely given us by our dear friend
Volkmar WI could not have had so
large an audience at the opera house
last Sunday morning.
We have no hard feelings toward
him for the pet names he has given
US or Tor the virtues he indirectly
ascribes to us. We have always made
it q rule to look upon the bright side
of things and when we consider ow
much worse he might have made it, We
feel highly favored.
He did not call us a horse-thief, said
not q word about the 144 other wives
we nave in other parts of the country,
never mentioned the 20 years we spent
in the penitentiary, threw the mantle
of charity over the well-known fac
that we kidnapped Charlie Ross, and
never even called attention to the many
cold. blooded murders we have commit.
ed, ''as is generally believed In the
community" We surely have much to
be thankful for and our honest con
viction is that Volkmar is not nearly
SO bad as he represents himself to be.

The result also proves the wisdom
of the position we have taken from
the start, viz, that it is more import
ant to agitate the principle of no.
license than to talk so much about
candidates TO the neglect of the main
issue. Where men are made more
prominent than measures, the ten
dency is always to sacrifice the great.
or to the lesser and the fight becomes
one between individuals rather than
the right and wrong. This is general
ly carried to the extent of dropping all
consideration Of the real issue in the
effort to get votes for q man.
In this campaign the proper issue
was kept to the front with the result
that we are nearer the goal for no.
license than ever before.
Mr.. Roberts has made q remarkable
run, considering that he was in the race
only for a few days and Mayor-elect
Meehan's margin is such rs to keep
him in a properly humble frame of
mind.
We are proud of living in the
second ward, it gave a good majority
for nO-license and also elected Ro-
berts. Hereafter we shall speak of it
as the Congr eg ational ward of Mil
bank.

Tho the reporter did not haye
the privilege of attending the
game played at Webster last
Saturday, a member of the team
kindly jotted down a few notes
hence my inspiration, as the
school kid said after taking a
peep into his text book during an
examination. All the boys were
at the depot at 200 a. m. of
course. Their special train being
side. tracked, and full of sheep
besides, they were compelled to
take number 63-and number 63
was an hour and thirty minutes
late at that. Prof. Clark came
tearing down towards the depot
a few minutes after seven, his
mouth full of food (coat pockets)
and his collar on upside down.
Some say that he ate his break
fast before he had his eyes open
but as to the truth of this | can
not say. The bunch left Milbank
sometime between eight and nine.
The engine they had must have
come off the hay line for it had to
stop several times between here
and Summit to get it's breath.
The boys visited the store at
Marvin. the scene of the late
Kane tragedy. They bot some
bologna and crackers and went
on to Summit. Lunches at Sum-
NIT and Waubay. The tired push
arrived in Webster about two
o'clock p. m. After having din
ner, they were escorted to the
park by the band. An exciting
game was played, the enthusiasm
of the Webster people was in
tense, and tho they encouraged
their boys in the best possible
way, they were destined to fall
in the dust at the canvass shoes
of Milbank's wind tanners. The
game ended with the score of 4
to 12 in favor Of the Milbank
team. Milbank is to play Web
ster this afternoon and Apple
ton tomorrow.

The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-05-03

the New Mexican, the Albuquerque
Citizen, the Las Vegas Optic nor the
Socorro Chieftain, but on the contra
ry these papers said that it was un
worthy of belief that it was malicious
and that Mr.. Bursum was too homes
to hold out money belonging to the
territory. 1t has taken the New Mex
lcan seven months and twenty-five
days to discover tina accounts were
paid and that these payments were
by some strange oversight, overlooked
and were not recorded in the books
kept for that purpose.
The Eagle called attention to some
of these little o~versights, most OF
them of items of less than a thousand
dollars, but not all of such a modest
sum-, at different times in September
October, November and December OF
last year, and has alluded to them this
year, just in order to refresh the me.
mories of the taxpayers of this point
and we are pleased, nay we are de
lighted, that sue an enterprising pa.
per as the New Mexican has discover
ed within eight months after the of
fetal report was made, that the re.
port was really true.
We are also delighted to know that
the yarn about the incineration of the
books is a base fabrication and we
presume that the New Mexican will
be good enough to explain how it hap
pened that the ~penitentiary books of
original entry came to be in the pos
session of H. o. Bursum, chairman
of the republican territorial central
committee more than a year after his
retirement by request from the super
intendency of the p~enitentiary. We
have been led to believe n Ia the pro-
per place for books of public accounts
was in the hands of the person reSpoa
sible for the management of the in
stitution to which they relate.
1t is possible that a careful peru
sal of the accounts in these books led
Mr.. Bursum to pay owe the several
thousand dollars which he mas dis
gorged within the past year. This
may have led him to pay over the
800 received by him on Colonel Der
mann's accounts after having kept
it seven years.
The New Mexican has been holding
Mr.. Bursum up Is a martyr for
months and finally admits the case
against MIN. 1t has admitted all that
has been alleged. 1t was charged
hat Mr.. Bursum failed to account for
money paid to him. Both Bursum and
the New Mexican denied the charges

wise to cover into the territorial ire
asury, and now comes the New Mexi-
can, which sometimes prints the
truth, and gravely states that 1T has
been found that several penite1tiary
accounts were paid by private checks
and mad not been credited on the ac-
counts of the superintendent of the
prison."
The New Mexican neglects to state
however, that several of these checks
were given by residents of Santa Fe,
n it leaves to the Imagination of
its readers just how many thousands
of dollars Mr.. Bursum forgot to pay.
Perhaps the investigation by the
court will bring to light some other
thousands due the territory.

THE WORST CAR SHORT

What is generally considered the
most serious a storage problem
Texas cattlemen have eve commended
with now confronts all of Texas aid
parts of New Mexico. Five reports
received from inspectors of the Tex

plain of car shortage, the climax be-
ing reached at Odessa, Midland and
Monahals, where the railroads are
reported as being 600 cars behind
with their orders.
At Carlsbad, N. NJ, 5000 head of
cattle are being held for cars and
from many other places similar COM
plants nave been received.
Reports of cattle inspectors tell of
mountaineering movements of cattle
to the north. thirteen inspectors re-
cording a total of 500 cars shipped
last week. Others did not designate
the numbers, but almost all mention

LEARN TO READ MEN
LIKE AN OPEN BOOK

The young man starting out for him
self ought to make a study of his pow
er of penetration, of mis- character
reading ability. He ought to make it
a business to study men,, estimate
their capabilities and the motives
which actuate them. He should study
them, scrutiliZe their actions, watch
their tendencies in little things, and
learn to read them as an open book.
The Involuntary acts and natural
manner of a nan indicate more thar
does his studied conversation. The
eye cannot lie. 1t speaks the truth
in all languages. 1t often c~ontradicts
h tongue. While the man is trying
to deceive you with words, his Eyes
are telling you the truth; his actions
are indicative of the rea man, while
the tongue may openly represent the
diplomat, the man who is acting.
A very successful business man in
New York, noted for his ability to
read men, will sometimes study al
applicant for an important position
for a long time, talking very little him
self, but all the time trying to call
the man out, watching every move
ment, scrutilizing every word, try
ing to read the motive behind every
glance of the eye. His manner, every
thing, are all letters of the alphabet
by which he spells out the real man.
1 have been in his office when he was
measuring a man. 1t was a great les
son to watch his face as he seemed
to read the applicant through and
through, weigh him or the scale of his
judgment, penetrate to the very mar
row of his being, and measure his ca
liabilities and possibilities to a nicely
After a few minutes conversation,
when the man had passed out, he
would tell me just now large hat man
was, what he was capable of doing,
what his future would be, and what
were his limitations. And he seldom
makes a mistake. l have never known
a man to succeed to any extent when
he said that there was nothing in him
and l have never known n to urn
badly when ne endorsed him with
out reserve.
We all know heads of business hou-
SEES who work like slaves, who dig n
save, and yet do not make much head
way, simply because they do not know
how to surround themselves with the
men.-Success.

A SPANISH VIEW.

La VOC del Pueblo" the leading
Spanish newspaper of the Territory,
published at Las Vegas, came out last
week with a double-column article
on first page with border, and freely
capitalized for emphasis of its posi-

the more intelligent and honest class
of Mexicans and Spanish people in
the Territory. To insure accuracy the
Record had the article translated by
MI. r.. s. Hamilton, who is probably
the best Spanish scholar IN Roswell.

1T MIGHT BE BETTER HAD
THOSE BOOKS BEEN BURNED

From Santa Fe Eagle.
1t now turns out according to the
New Mexican, and the New Mexican
is certainly in a position to know
that Mr.. Bursum has all of the origi-
nal books of entry kept at the penitel
tiary during his term of superinten-
dent. In its issue of last Saturday
that paper says. in reference to the
assertion that the books were burr
ed:
1T now turns out that these charg-
es are untrue and hat the original
account books and financial records
for the entire period during which
H. o. Bursum held the position of
superintendent, are intact n will
be produced by Mr.. Bursum and fur:
nished the referee for inspection and
thorough investigation whenever Mr..
Stafford is ready and calls for them.
There Is but one book missing and
this ledger which is not an original
book of entry and which would not
be admitted as evidence in a court
of record. Every invoice for mater
ial sold during the six years of Mr..
Bursum's incumbe7cy will be produc-
ed for examination and there are ov-
'er twenty-three hundred of these.
Mr.. Bursum, has had his private
account books thoroughly overaauled
AID audited and it has been found
tina several penitenrfary accounts
were paid by private checks and had
not been credited on the official ac-
counts Of the superintendent of the

dizement and the temptations of self

element in the party with which he

he would not be HAGERMAN THE

hNCORRUPTIBLE; HAGERMAN
THE TRUTHFUL MAN.
IF in the future he shall not fol

reputation, land there is nc reason
to believe that he will do that, long
after the nauseating records of those
who are now trying to blacken his
character shall have saturated the

of all living human beings, he cour
age of Hagerman will have crystal
lized into lasting memories because
of his just and honest work for the
good of the people whom he repre-
sented.
1--WE have nothing to say against
his successor, Mr.. George Curry,
whom we know well, and we only
hope that ne will discharge his duty
toward the public in as fearless a
manner and as much for the good of
humanity as has his predecessor, Mr..
Hagerman. So long as he shall do
this, we hope that each day he will
grow in greatness as a man, and that
he will be crowned with those laurels
which are the reward of a truthful
and just servant of the people.
But thousands of those who are
silent, who have said nothing, are
feeling deep pain in their hearts as
they contemplate the cruel, inhuman
treatment which Governor Hagermal
has received at the hands of the ad-
ministratio1. because of the political
Vaccinations of those who could not
use him for their own selfish inter
ests. 1t is inconceivable that in these
days, notwithstanding the political
point of view, such a movement could
gain anything for the gang that was
its author. But when the day of reck-
oning shall come, the gnashing of
their teeth and their bowls of fury
and despair will be the worst in their
history. While the plotters have sac
rifced Mr.. Hagermal for the present,
and the people LAY e deprived
of the services of an honest and sin
cere public official, they are only add
ing to the weight OF the destructive
blow which always comes with JUS
