c,Uppcsed 70 Have Been Poisoned.

Last Monday morning, when John d.
Devilbiss made hi; first visit to the barn
he found that sor,e one had turned his
cows out, and on entering the stable
found calf lying dead that had appar-
emily been healthy in the evening. Al
examination found three large pieces Of
bread in the animals stomach, and all
who saw it supposed it to be poisoned.
1t is thought that it was the act of some
one that is living not far awny. York

town which he understood were to
be printed in circular form or pub
lished in the Daily Record with the
object of ~injuring his character and
reputation.
The gentleman was assured that
the Record editor had not seen the
alleged letters, a no intention
of publishing anything unfit for
print. Later another man came in
to warn us on behalf of the first Wis
itor that criminal prosecutions and
suits for damages would be brought
against all persons who printed or
circulated certain letters.
By this time the editor began to
boil-but some years experience in
the newspaper business has taught
MIN to conceal his temper behind a
smiling face, even as a professional
gambler might. He really was int
crested, however, even in the read
ing of the New Mexico libel law, and
being convinced hat there is moth
ing libellous in asking questions, the
editor would like to inquire the rea-
son for all his excitement about
~instructing him in the i~ntricacies of
the New Mexico libel law. We read
this law very carefully last fall be-
fore taking up the record of the Re
publican candidate for delegate to
congress. The editor of this paper
holds a license to practice law-not
an Indiana license either-but even
without special knowledge of law,
the average newspaper man usually
is capable of avoiding libel suits. We
perceive quite clearly that the New
Mexico libel law was designed to
protect official graft and corruption
by u~nreasonably limiting the free
dom of the press. But it is law, and
there is little sense in defying the

AS for the alleged letters we had lit

since they have lived in Roswell is
all the definite knowledge we have
in regard to any of them. The Rec
ord condemns no man upon hearsay
evidence. Let us look for the good
points in the various candidates and
vote for the man whom we consider
best fitted for the office. Personal
attacks usually react in favor of the
man against whom they are directed.
One of the surest ways to elect an
undesirable man is by exaggerated
abuse of him. The "wide-opel' peo-
pie are working FOR their candidate,
not merely firing scattered shots
AGAINST somebody else. There is
a political pointer in this attitude of
the enemy that is worth considering.
BEWARE OF THE
PARCELS POST.
Publishers Auxiliary.
Every interest Caat looks TO the
welfare of the small cities and towns
of this country should make every
possible effort to prevent the passage
of a parcels post law in any form.
The passage of such a law would
mean the ruin of the merchants of
the small towns, and play directly
into the hands of the big mail-order
houses of the city.
1t is the mail-order houses of the
cities that are back of the agitation
for the passage of such a law. The
millions that it would mean to hen
would be taken directly from the re-
sources of the towns and villages.
These mail-order concerns can afford
to spend thousands of dollars to Sc
cure the passage of a parcels post
law, and unless there is concerted
action on the part of those who
should oppose such a law they will
succeed.
