SHOULD STAY ON THE FARM
Too Many of the Country Lads are
Crowding to the Cities

In addressing the Michigan Agricul
tural College sttHJsnts few weeks
ago the president insisted that the
farm shoulf be made more attractive
so that f,tll4 boys would. stay there in
stead of going TO the city. and he said
that the hired man must be employed
all tie year round, fer he could not
be expectot to stay in the country II
there was work for him only in sum-

year, The farmer ard his boys car

Il am opposed to Ferrn.>ft

"First-Because existing Cover
ment railways are not managed viila
either the efficiency or economy ct
privately managed roads and the
rates charged are not as low. and.
therefore, not as. beneficial to the

Second Because it would involve
an expenditure of certainly twelve
billion OF. dollars TO acquire the. inter
state railw1y,s and the creation of all
enormous debt
Third Because it would place in
the hands of a reckless executive a
power of control over business and
politics that the ina gination car
hardly conceive, and would ex1ose
our popular institutions to danger.
THE supervision proposed need
mot nlateriaIly reduce the legitimate
tcnera tion of indivifualism in railway
enterprise. 1t will indeed limit the
opportunity to accumulate enormous
fortunes through over-capitaliZatloH

| There is no attempt to take away

attempt in this law TO make trans

than there is in the National Bank

Santa Fe New Mexican Special.
Albuquerque, Sept. 20.-Judge Ira
A. Abbott, sitting as presiding judge
of the Second Judicial District Court,
this morning announced that he had
over-ruled the demurrers of the de
PENDANTS in the cases of the United
States of America VS.. the American
Lumber Company and Clark M. Carr,
in which it was alleged that the Unit
ed States had no right or title to the
land, having transferred it to the Ter
ritory and that as the Territory was a
sovereign body it could not be used
except by authorization of Congress
or in the United States Supreme
Court
Judge Abbott holds that the Ter
ritory is merely a trustee for the
lands and that the United States does
not surrender the right to demand an
accounting at any time, and that the
Territory is not a sovereign body any
more than a state which can be sued
in the common courts. He also gives
an exhaustive resume of the timber
industry from pioneer days.

Woman Kills an Eagle.

From Lake Arthur Times.
Miss Marie Rogers can claim the
honor of being the eagle killer of
New Mexico. While driving out Thurs
day, a large bird was noticed sitting
on a fence-post ahead. dog that
was along ran and scared the bird
off, when it was noticed that it was
disabled. Miss Rogers threw chisel
at the bird and the blow either stun
ned or killed it. Miss Rogers made
sure of the bird being dead then put
it il her buggy and took it home. Yes
terday she brought it to town, and
it was the center of attraction for sew
eral hours. 1t was a Mexican eagle,
and it measured six feet seven inches
from tip to tip of wings.

Ell Paso's rate to Carlsbad used to
be the same as Fort Worth 's-wnich
was bad enough, for Fort Worth is
a good deal further away. But a new
tariff sheet gives Fort Worth rate
of $1.22 while FL Pasos rate remains
unchanged at $1.7O. ihis is rank dis
elimination, and is a fair cause of war
1t is folly to say we have no redress.
If the Texas railway commission and
the United States interstate COM
merce commission couldn't do some
thing about such injustice, they would
be weak and craven indeed. By the
nearest routes, Fort Worth is 200
miles further from Carlsbad than Ell
Paso is.
Says The Herald's Carlsbad CORE
spondent:
1.-The above discrimination forcibly
brings to the attention of the mer-
chants of this city the need of another
railroad from El Paso to this city and
connecting with eastern points. 1t is
hoped by Carlsbad merchants and citi
zens of FL Paso will view this matter
in the right light and work together
with the citizens of the valley and
push the completion of new rail
road
And to view this matter in the
right light is one of the most impor-
tant objects of a business mems ex-
cursion to the Pecos valley. There is
nothing before us right now of great.
er Importance to us than this proposed
railroad. There is no section of the
Great Southwest of greater potential
value to us in trade way than the
Pecos Valley, We shall be foolish to
the point of idiocy if we fail to take
advantage of these wonderful oppor-
tunities.
