territorial tax as they were ten years
ago and they are beginning to show
a disposition to take a and in poll
tics and not allow the political des.
TIMES of New Mexico to be controlled
by a band of grafters."
Every word of the foregoing is
literally true. No section of the Uni.
ted States has ever e more thor
oughly and outrageously graft ridden
than New Mexico. But the people all
owe h territory are becoming arous,
ed to the situatio1-and nothing
could have occurred to wake them up
more thoroughly than the removal OF
Hagerman, because it showed them
that the Doodle gang had grown so
bold that it did not hesitate to ap-
proach the president of the United
States, and so expert in falsehood and
villiany that it was actually able to
use him in the furthering of its
schemes for debauching the public
mind and rif1ing the public treasury.
OF curse, this gave an awful shock
to the good people of New Mexico, a
very large majority of whom had
come to fairly idolize Mr.. Roosevelt,
n who are still firm in the convic-
ton that he was grossly deceived by
men in whom he had confidence, and
acted under the influence of represen-
tations which were wickedly false.
They have confidence enough in
him to believe that he will undo the
great wrong which he has lone this
people as Dol as he learns the real
facts of the situation, but in the
meantime they are brought face to
face with the fact that the only safe
course for them to persue is indicat-
ed in the old heather maxim which
tells us, "the gods nelp those who
nelp themselves"

This order is everywhere known
as a benefactor of the human race.
Its flag proudly float il the breeze
of every cline as a beacon to the pill
grims of life's fitful journey and a
welcome guide to the tempest driven
mariner across the waves of human
woe to its calm haven of rest. 1t eX-
lists in response to the cravings of
the soul for a domain of brother
nood-a fraternity wherein sweet
AID congenial companionShip and
mutual Offices of kindness and regard
will soften the asperities of life and
-emove the evils of prejudice, big
otry and intolerance. An order that
teaches a higher ideal of life, that
sives men new faith in virtue, char
ity and love, assumedly deserves a
coasiderate study by those who are
interested in the welfare of the hu-
Ia race. AS a means to an end it
has been one of the most powerful
weapons in the warfare upon ignor-
ance. vice. and a host of other evils
that beSet man at every step in his
earthly career.
The order of Odd Fellowship orig
mated in England in the eighteenth
century. 1t is known hat lodges
were originally formed by working
men for social purposes and for CIV
ing brethren aid and assisting them
to obtain employment; when a broth
er could not obtain work he was Civ
en- a card aid funds enough to carry
him to the next lodge, and if unsuc-
cessful then, that lodge facilitated
his farther progress in the same
manner. 1t is said that the titles of
the officers of a lodge were taken
from the order of G~regoranus,
which met at St. Adams in May
1886, in the early history of the or
der. Each lodge was the arbiter of
its w fate INT practically supreme.

prevailed then, as it i later. In
those days secession from lodges was
frequent. They were slow to learn
that in union there is strength They
finally learned this wholesome truth,
and with it came in 1909 the forma-
ton of the Manchester Unity the
most gigantic beneficial society in
the world.
Thomas Wildey, the faher and
founder of American Odd Fellowship,
brought with him to this country the
seed which carefully sown and nutuT-
ed has grown to such a mighty tree
that in the shade produced by the
wide spreading branches ne bretn-

security from most of the storms in

WHEN THE NEWS
PAPERS STOPPED.

From The Fourth Estate.
Several distinct phases of the con.
ditions resulting from the suspension
of newspapers It Butte, Mont, during
the strike, are noted. One of particu-
lar interest is the effect the lack of
advertising had on business. For once
in their lives the merchants faced a
condition and not a theory. Large de-
partmentN stores, formerly beenives
of selling activity, took on the air of
a village country store. New stocks
la7guished unsought on the shelves,
and clerks hung idle around the coun-
tiers, while proprietors fumed in their

VERDICT NOT GUILTY
IN THE CASE

Lexington, KY, May 23.-The jury
in the case of Judge James H. Har-
gis, charged with the murder of Tho
mas Cockrill, this morning returned
a verdict of not guilty.
When the verdict was announced a
great cheer arose from the friends of
Hargis. It is believed now that the
cases of Alexander and Albert Hargis
and Howard Callahan, charged with
completely In the plot to kill Cockrill,
will be filed away in court here.
Town Marshal Cockri1l was shot in
the court house at Jackson June 81,
1904. During b trial of Hargis sew
eral witnesses swore hat Hargis, his
brothers and Sheriff Ed Callahan had
entered into a murder conspiracy,
promising immunity to nyone who
would shoot Cockrill, DIR. B.. D.. Cox
and J. B. Marcum, all of whom have
since died by shooting. The defense
presented testimony tending to dis
prove the conspiracy charge.

Dukedon For Canadian Lord.

Ottawa, Ont, May 23.-It is rumor-
ed here that tomorrow, Victoria day,
is the date set for the comforting of
a higher title upon Lord Strathcona,
the Canadian nigh commissioner in
London, by King Edward. 1t is per
sistently reported that Strathcona
will be made a duke, but this is
not believed in official circles. 1t is
considered certain that he will be ere
ated an earl, but an elevation from
a barony to a dukedom is almost un-
precedented. Strathcona will shortly
retire from the office of high commits
sioner and will likely return to Can
ada. He will be succeeded by Sir
Frederick Borden, minister of militia,
who was one of the delegates to the
zee colonial conference in London.
Strathcona has inherited and accum-
ulated a large fortune and is one of
the wealthiest men in Canada.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Red Wing, Minn., Jan. 15.-August
Bloom, who last night shot and fatal
ly wounded Chief of Police James
Daily and Patrolman John Peterson,
was arrested today in house on the
outskirts of the city,. Bloom was
found asleep and was captured by a
posse of officers and securely bound
before he could make an effective re-
sistance, although a loaded revolver
was at his side, left there in antici-
patton of possible visit from the
posse. The shooting occurred at the
Hotel Sibley last night. Bloom, who
escaped from a train while being TAX
en- from the Minnesota state hospital
at Rochester to the incurable insane
asylum at Hastings year ago, was
located in the hotel, and the two Off
GERS attempted to arrest him. Bloom
shot Daily twice through the lungs
and Kidneys, while Peterson was shot
through the intestines.
Both men were still alive at noon
today, but there is no hope of their
recovery.
