Questions for Common People.

A Kansas man submits to the COM
| mon people of the country a list of
questions which are worthy of more
general and careful consideration than
they are likely to receive. The man
is the editor of the Minneapolis, Kan
sas Messenger, A. p. Riddle, who has
served his state as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
or and is therefore to be regarded as
man of some consequence. The ques-
tons are suggested by the. fact that it
is by principles and not by totals that
the standards of good citizenship are
established. Mr.. Riddle feels that
there is such a hue and cry being
raised in these days for the capture
and punishment of the culprits higher
up" that there is danger of overlook
ing the little fellows, lower down."
The rich man who does not always
turn in a reasonable tax statement and
the corporation which has broken the
law are held up to the condemnation
Oh the puD!lc. II Is TACT cOHSOnant
with human nature that very often
those who are the loudest in their de-
ones who are equally as guilty on a
smaller scale. Our Kansas editor has
no defense to make for rich and pow
erful wrongdoers. but he feels those
who spend so much time hunting for
the mote in the other fellows eye
should spend little time occasionally
in looking for a possible beam in their
own optic. Therefore he asks a few
somewhat embarrassing questions and
it will be conceded that those who can
answer them satisfactorily will be
thoroughly qualified and entitled to
knock on the fellows higher up" Mr..
Riddle propounds the following heart
searchers:
Have you returned for taxation all
your property, and at its true value?
Do you shoot game out of season?
Do you throw your garbage in the
street?
Are there weeds on your street front
more than a foot high?
Do you run your automobile faster
than fifteen miles an hour?
Do you pay the preacher what you
promised him, or do you expect your
salvation free?
Do you leave your horse united on
the public street?
Do you pasture your chickens on
your neighbOr's garden?
Do you use profane language on the
public street?
Do you put the large potatoes on
top?
Are you as careful of rented prop
erty as if it We're your own?
Did you ever in your whole life re-
turn borrowed book?
Or an umbrella?
Do you listen with avidity to the
nasty gossip about your neighbor?
Do you pay for your paper or beat
the printer?
In all seriousness. what is the differ
ence in principle between the big
CRATER and the little CRATER, between
the big tax-dodger and the little tax
dodger, between the big undesirable
citizen and the little undesirable citi-
zen, between the dangerous man high
rr up and the dangerous man lower |
down?

The Waterville Sentinel continues to
orous and sweeping expose of the unre-
liable character of its efforts to show
the agricultural interests of Maine to
be in decadent condition. The Sem
tinel essays to preach calamity in the
hope of promoting it's partisan ends,
but in SO doing it is forced to ignore
gence of the people whom it attempts
to mislead. AS we have before re-
marked. the Sentiners best hold is ir
the field of humor. and it is apparently
, impossible for it to approach public
question from any other standpoint.

Although Inauguration Day tomor

Territory, Chairman M. A. Otero, OF

request that all stores of the city be

A delegation of employees waited
upon Ex-Governor Otero this morning
urging him to take this action, as they
desired to be present while Governor
Curry was being formally sworn in
as executive of New Mexico.
Several of the local merchants who
were approached on the subject today
expressed their willingness of giving
their employees half holiday, and ii
is likely that business will be prac
tically suspended part of the after
noon.

were many who desired a strict ad

SECOND PRIMARY
IN MISSISSIPPI
Race Between Williams and Varda-
man So Close That Friends Of
Both Favor Another Vote.

New Orleans, Aug. 7.-Dispatches
from Jackson, Mississippi, say that a
second primary for John Sharp Will
Jams and Governor Vardaman is re.
garded with favor by many followers
of both. The secretary of state UP
to last night still had ten counties to
hear official returns from and the
count up to that time showed Will
Jams 440 votes in the lead.
A contest over the election seems
inevitable and the ballot boxes are
being watched by both sides. The
fact that a second primary must be
held for candidate for Governor, has
cleared the way for the advocacy Of
another vote for Senator.

ceremonies, after which they will be
introduced to the other members OF
the receiving party.
Governor Curry will be first In the
receiving line, and in the order given
will be Mrs. j. w. Reynolds, wife of
Secretary Reynolds, Delegate w. II.
Andrews, and Secretary Reynolds.
Refreshments will be served during
the ball in an ante room. Morrison's
orchestra will furnish the dance
music. Tickets for the inaugural ball
are IS each, which will admit one lady
and gentleman. They can be pur-
chased from J. H. Vaughn, cashier of
the First National Bank, and treas
urer of the committee, and also at
the Palace and Claire Hotels.
Governor Curry is coming to this
city on a special train via the Santa
Fe Central Railway which, according
to latest advices by telegraph, is due
to arrive here this evening at 5
o'clock. The Mexican National Band
of Chihuahua accompanies the party
and will participate in the inaugural
ceremonies.
The special train consists of five
coaches, two Of which are private
cars, and is in charge of General Man
ager S. B. Grimshaw, of the Santa Fe
Central Railway. Governor Curry
and the friends who came with him
from Roswell made the trip from that
city to Torrance via the automobile
line. One of the automobiles broke
down about eighteen miles from Tor
rance, which necessitated a delay Of
several hours.
Acting Governor Reynolds and ex
Governor Otero left at o'clock this
afternoon on the southbound Santa Fe
Central train to meet the special train
carrying Governor Curry and party.
