The Angel of Death Sad
denS a TuCumCarl Home

Thursday morning about 9 o'clock
the angel OF death summoned
the home of Judge X. l.. Pat
terson his wife, who died of typhoid
fever after an illness of two weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson were
among the pioneer settlers of this
city and the family is highly es-
teemed by the best citizens Of this
community.
The husband and four children,
the youngest being a baby girl
less than a year old, are left to
mourn the loss OF a loving wife and
mother whose loss to them is
greater than it is in the province
of human intelligence to under
stand.
Mrs. Patterson was an exemplary
Christian woman and a member OF
the Baptist church for most OF her
life and was ready to meet the
summons to eternal life and
rest from the cares and trials OF
earth. 1t is as natural to die as
it is to be born, but the call of a
member Of a happy family wrings
the heart strings Of those remain
ing in a manner that only the
power and the goodness OF God
can assuage.
The life of Mrs. Patterson was
spent in the care of her family and
devotion to the Almighty and the
call to eternity was never answered
by a Christian woman who was
better prepared to say: 90
Death, where is thy sting ?" Q
Grave, where is thy victory ?"
The funeral took place from the
Baptist church, Of which she was
a member, at 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon, the service being con.
Quoted by Rev. w. H. DuBose,
pastor OF the Presbyterian church,
the furneal sermon being spoken
by Rev. ]. w. Campbell, pastor
of the M. E. Church, South. The
song service was conducted by
Mrs. +. Saxon. The selections
were Safe in the Arms Of
Jesus" Asleep in Jesus" and
Shall We Gather at the River p
Out of respect to the family,
every business in Tucumcari
closed doors from 3 to 4 O'Clock
and several hundred persons fol.
lowed the remains to the cemetery,
where a beautiful service was held
before the body was lowered to its
last resting place. The entire Ger.
emony was under the auspices Of
Tucumcari Lodge No. 20, Knights
OF Pythias, Of which Judge Patter.
Sol is a member.
The entire community sympa.
thizes most deeply with Judge Pat.
terson and family in this the great.
est bereavement any family car
have befall them.

Henry D, Clayton's Proposition

If the member from the Third Ala bama district can get his anti-third term resolution out of the committee to which it has been referred, he will add another chapter to the political history of the country. By vote of 233 yeas and IS nays the House in the Forty fourth Congress passed similar resolution. It was aimed at Grant, just as Mr. Clayton's is aimed at MT. Roosevelt.
 The resolution will produce sensa- tion if enough anti-Roosevelt members can be found to report it and 1T Sneaker Cannon will permit it to be voted on. It has hard road to travel, but still the anti-third term feeling is strong and the resolution may come up in the House. If it does it will be adopted despite the republican major ity of nearly 50 in the House.
 While MT. Roosevelt reiterates his determination not to accept nomina- ton, if rendered, it is well for the House of Representative to reiterate its opposition to third-termism. MT. Clayton should press his resolution. It will not only be worth while in view of the third term agitation at this time, but democrats should go on record again and say to the people once for all that it is un-American for any man to Hold the office of President for three terms. Henry Watterson says this country is not ready for Diazifcation and it never should be ready.

they are also to have short lives the powers in this world may as well get ready to be severely taxed. MT. Met calfs demand for $69,000,000 Is ex- eeeded in Germany, where $S5,O00,0 900 is to be spent in building new ships in 1908. Unless we spend vast sum annually-probably $1OO,OOO,OOO year, we cannot hope to remain the second war power" in the naval lists.
 Isolated as we are and secure as we are against invasion, should we spend any such amount in the building of warships? Is there any sense in it? For defensive purposes such ships are not needed. at least not by the main land, and it would certainly be far easier to unload the Philippines than it would be to hold them by putting S100,000,00 in warships year. Any battleship sum is taken from pockets none too full in times like the present.

Business and the Campaign

The four panics in our national his tory were those of 1887. 1857. 1873 and 1893. and all four came directly after presidential election. Mir. Cleveland had but become settled in the White House for the second time when the panic of 1893 burst upon the land, and so it was in 1873, 1857, and 1887. In 1873 Grant had just begun his second term; in 1857 Buchanan was fresh to presidential duties, and in 1887 Martin Van Buren had just been seated. No one of them had done anything to create distrust, and yet panics came and ran their course withort the slight est relation to the White House or ''s occupant.
 In this good year circumstances are reversed. A panic has come near the close of Roosevelts long service, and an election will be hell amid the lock outs and disturbances that follow Tn it's train. The election of next year till be without precedent in that re- snect. and no one can therefore judge the future by the past,
 There is one thing that can, how ever. be said, namely, no one will De comprehensive as to the effects or the election on business, simply because no administration will be more radl- cally progressive than MT Roosevelts. To use the expressive words or the Springfield Republican, an independent republican newspaper, the business community has seen 'the worst" The Republican goes on to say;
 "It cannot fear an opposition victory as it otherwise would, since Bryan ad- ministration would be no more radical Tn policy than MT. Roosevelts, while US manner would be much more conserVa- tive: and republican victory, if it comes' as no doubt 1t will, would come under a leadership more sober at least if not actually more conservative. Of this there can be no question. It is an exaggerated view of the harmful effects of presi- dental election which business Is apt to take, but in the present case, and for the first time in decades, no good reason can apparently exist why anybody should think of the coming contest as in itself or it's outcome disturbance to industry.

NEW MORALITY PROMISED

whole body the act of mans hand or of his foot is the mans act. All the rest of us constitute the offenders envi- ronment. What he is and does we cause him, directly or indirectly, to be and to do.
 There is more reason, then, for punishing a criminal than there is for pinching your finger because it develops a sore. There is no more sense in im- prisoning a thief or in hanging a mur- derer than there is in beating a smallpox patient A club will not cure smallpox nor will penalty efface crime. Both are diseases. A removal of the cause is the only remedy.
 Crime is a product just as disease is a product, just as health is a product, just as good deed is a product, just ex- actly as happiness or potato is a prod- uct. If you will examine into the his- tory of vogues. John Ruskin says, you will find they are as truly manufactured articles as anything else, and it is because our present system of political economy gives so large a stimulus to that manu- fracture that you may know it to be g. false one.
 q have never been fined or imprisoned, but l never read of crime or suffering (and I read of them every day) without feeling that share of the guilt is mine. Punishment begins at the wrong end. It deals with effect instead of cause. It prunes, but does not eradicate. It curses, but never cures"
 For obvious reasons the educator pre- ferred that his identity be not divulged. ''The institution with which I am con- nected," he said, draws much of it's sup port from men of great means who might be shocked at the expression of views so radical. Nevertheless, they are my views. These things are certain. They are destiny, not a theory, and they are well nigh as imminent as tomorrow's sunrise.'

O! the blood more stirs, To rouse a lion than to start hare.
 -1 King Henry w.
Mir. Bryan in Alabama

The Mobile Register takes advant- age of letter from friend to make plain it's position toward MT. Bryan. To begin with, it recognizes and acknowledges as a potent fact that Alabamas democracy is pledged in advance to Bryan, and that Alabama democracy and Bryanism mean the same thing; that there will not be an anti-Bryan chirp ill the state conven- ton, and that Alabama will send an instructed Bryan delegation to the na- tional convention. The Register ridi ouled the plans of those who proposed to get up an anti-Bryan demonstration in the convention, as belated and im- practicable, and advised that if the Birmingham men are seriously dis posed, they should call a convention of their own and begin an independent movement It might amount to no more than a protest against democ- racys absorption in Bryan, but it would be entitled to public respect"
 Ut is our opinion" the Register goes on to say "and we think it is the opin- ion of Alabama democrats, that Bryan ism is better than Rooseveltism, and when he is nominated against the re- publicans' handmade candidate, we are bound to do what we can to get him elected"
 This puts the Register In the Bryan bandwagon, and it's policy so clearly, forcibly and promptly expressed at tests it's patriotism and public previ- sion. and it goes far to usher in liar mony with big H in the democratic party of Alabama.
 But Alabama is but keeping step with the democracy of other states. As we approach the day of ballots the democrats are becoming unified and solidifled, and the prospect now is that William Jennings Bryan will poll the full party vote together with large and increasing number of votes from the other side.

Life of Sea Armament

The iron-clad ships have shorter active lives than had the ships that knew neither metal protection nor steam power. The constitution" for example, fought the Guerriere when she was A years old, and she was con sidered seaworthy until 1928, when she was 40 years old. Secretary Metcalfe is now planning to retire the Texas only IS years old. Germany has de- cided to reduce the age limit of battle ships to 20 years. It had stood at 25 years. Germany Is today planning to build IT battleships, all to be com. pleted by 1917. In seven years the German navy will include 37 battle. ships, or more than twice as many as we are sending to the Pacific.

When nearly every body has a scheme for preventing panics and saving the country, eir.

This is only another illustration of the operation of the Gresham law" The imitation of the bad forces out the good.
 Now from one point of view the fact that so many people are thinking on this subject is a good thing for the country. Perhaps out of this much thinking may come such consensus of public opinion as may lead to substantial improve ment in our financial system. But let us remember in devising our various the ories and schemes that those who have gone most deeply into the philosophy of money are most deeply impressed by the limitations of their knowledge In other words. the more they know about the subject the more they know that they don't know. There is no other subject save that of religion which is so infinite

NOT SATISFIED.

From Harper's Magazine.
 There is bright young attache at the British embassy in Washington who, shortly after his arrival in this country, was guest at a dinner given by the wife of well known official at the na- tional capital, a hostess whose hospitality is notoriously inadequate.
 The repast was of the usual sample kind expected by any one who had ever been a guest at the house. It served merely as an appetizer to the hungry Brit on, and when coffee was brought his lll-concealed dissatisfaction was most amusing to the other guests. The hostess, however, did not notice it, for she said to him amiably:
 Now, do tell me when we may have the pleasure of having you dine with us again?"
 Immediately madam, immediately was the unexpected reply.

TWo-Cent Law in Ohio

The report of the railroad commis- sion of Ohio, covering all it's work to November 1, 1907, is chiefly interesting because it presents the workings of the two-cent fare law. The report shows that 3,666,20 more passengers were carried in the year ended Novem- Der l. 1907 than were carried in the previous year. Of the 45 operating roads whose earnings were tabulated by the railroad commission 27 of them show increased earnings per passen- ger-train mile in 1907 over 1906. Four roads show no change, leaving IA that show less earnings per passenger-train mile. The average passenger earning per train mile in 1907 was $1.05, as against s1O2 in 1906.
 The earnings per train mile are con sidered by the Ohio railroad commits sioners the true test in Ohio of the two-cent fare, and a similar test will no doubt soon be heard from in other states. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and no rate law should be condemned before it has been tested. Academic denunciations of practical measures are valueless when they can be easily tested. No railroad that offers tourists and other rates should condemn a rate law before giving it a fair and full trial
