Now the point we wish to make
Is this: That Notwithstanding the
drought OF eighty OF ninety days,
old land, even second year land,
IN Quay county produces most re-.
markablc crops, with proper prep
aratIon and cultivation; evey crops
that up TO uly i4th, the date OF
the ilrst rain since planting, IN
most oil these localities, that looked
as though they would produce moth
ing, are making the record as de-
crihed by Mr.. Burton, Mr. Hitch
md others that we have inter-
viewed. This does not harmonize
very well with the statement made
by "A committee, headed 10y Mr..
Thompson, which met here on the
I7th inst, claiming that ninety per
cent OF crops OF the county were
total failures; the facts are that
the percentage IS less than ten per
cent, with the exception OF an area
south ui fucumCau, including only
trw townships, where there is
nttlc land IN cultivation. and where
proper preparation Tor crops. in
many instances, could not be made,
S, ttlcments being made on many
oil these homcstcads last spring.
There rs probably no other section
OF the southwest where such yields
OF crops can be made with the
amount oil precipitation that we
have had here this year. With the
ordinary rainfall, eighteen to twen-
" inches and better, there is no
limit TO the crops that can be
grown in northeast New Mexico,
and We, like Mr.. Burton, believe
that the agricultural possibilities
OF Quay county are unlimited, and

Professor McClanahan's Lecture

The teachers and their friends
were treated to a lecture at the
Methodist church, on Monday
evening, bv Prot. Il. l.. McCalna-
han OF the Agricultural college.
Most OF the teachers attending the
Institute were present also a num-
her OF townspeople. The speaker
was introduced 10y Rev. Wilson,
who caused much merriment by
his witty remarks. The subject OF
Prot. McClahahan's talk, was Pes
taluZzic, or the new education. As
preface TO his remarks he ex-
planned that he never lost an OPP
portunity to talk to teachers oil this
great rciormer, along educational
lines, limiting that some teachers
present might possibly need inior-
nation on the subject, as did
teacher in one OF our larger states.
When asked who were Pestaloz.
zie and Froebel'' she (or he) re-
pied Two extinct volcanoes in
the Pacihc ocean. He explained
that PcstaloZZie was a Swiss edu-
Gator who, alter trying has hand
at both the legal and ministerial
professions, became a scientific
agriculturalist, aud reformer,
doing great work among the
downtrodden peasants OF his coun-
try. Finally he gathered together
the beggar children OF the peasant
who were fighting Tor the libersy
oi their picturesque little country.
He evolved system OF his own
in training the young idea" how
to shoot, and today his principles
are followed in the best schools.
He believed in developing the
child along original lines, in study
ing the boy, not the text book, in
causing the system to revolve
about the boy, and not making the
hoy slave to routine and system.
Later the ideas OF Pestaloxzie were
crystalized in poetry, by the inn
mortal Bard OF Avon, when he
said Where are sermons in stones,
books and running brooks. and
good in everything. The lecture
was we'll received and appreciated
by his listeners, and every thought
ful parent should have heard Il
and profited thereby.

Kentucky is Fighting Ground.

Why should it be remarked that
visited Kentucky? If the figures for
the past dozen years mean anything
they mean that Kentucky is fighting
ground with nothing in the results Of
recent elections there to give any as
surance to either party; certainly
nothing to give the impression that
the state is a sure thing for Bryan.
Where Cleveland carried the state by
10000 majority in 1892, Mckinley
carried it by 300 votes in 1896 and
then Bryan won it back by less than
5000 votes in 1900. Four years ago
votes and two years ago it elected a
Republican governor by a, margin Of
over $4,000 Certainly Kentucky IS
lighting ground. for Democrat tic
solidity has been much weakened there
and there are many independent
voters in the state. and in the South
the independent voters are Taft men
this year. Taft was given most
enthusiastic reception and the Repub-
liCan leaders there declare that he Will
carry the state. Certainly Colonel
Watterson's state of feverish hysteria
indicates that he is very much scared
as regards Bryan's chances n
Kentucky. Taft's visit to that state
was time well spent and the returns
from Kentucky will make interesting

RrYan's "Publicity" Bluff.

The publication of the contributions
to the national Democratic committee
| was just the farce that everybody
knew it would be. The list as given
to the public-given to the public, it
will be noted. three weeks in advance
of election and 50 being very far from
completes not only incomplete in
point of time, but il also represents a
very small part of the sInews OF war
which Bryan and his campaign
managers have to do business with.
The list of contributions does not in
clude cent of the big fund which
Murphy, McCarron, and Fohners are
spending for Bryan in New York 1t
mas nothing Of the fund which Roger
Sullivan is spending in Illinois,
nothing Of the great fund which Tom
Taggart, the gambler king, is spending
in Indiana and nothing of the funds
collected for use in other parts of the
field where a fight is being made.
The real money spent in behalf Of
Bryan in this campaign will never
see the light and the Bryan publicity
program never meant that it should
be revealed. This little bluff of pub
fishing the contributions received by
the national committee several weeks
III advance of the election, and only
the amounts being included in the list
which the donors We're willing to have
made public, was simply a campaign
bluff and nothing more The facts Of
the case are that Bryan and his
lieutenants have all the money they
know what to do with in this cam
paign. Haskell openly boosted of that
before he was forced out of his office
as treasurer, though he did not take
the public into his confidence as to
the source of the funds on hand and
expected Considering the circum-
stances which led to his being kicked
out of his position, this source can De
pretty well guessed at by the Ameri-
can people. The quarter of a million
included in the list of contributions
made public is simply the chicken feed
of the Bryan campaign.

A Socialist Opening.

1t is said that in one New York
district the Socialist candidate for
Congress stands a very good chance o.
election This is the 9th Congress
sional district which includes a section
of the East Side in New York City
where the Russian population is thick
est and where many of the revolu-
tionsts fleeing from Europe find a
refuge when they come to this
country The Socialist candidate for
Congress is Morris Hilquit. who is
was the candidate two years ago when
he polled $500 votes. and Judging from
the enthusiasm this year it is certain
that his strength at the polls Novem-
Der , will be very much greater than
this II Socialism is ever to become a
real political power here in America it
seems probable that the first place
where the party will gain the as
cendancy will he on the East Side in
New YORK, ana no uoupt thdt section
will give Debs a very much larger
vote al this election than has ever
been given a Socialist presidential
candidate there before Many people
who have little use for Socialism in
itself will see in this tendency bles
sing in disguise as it will at least be
beneficial in weakening the evil in
fluence of Tammany Hall in the
affairs of the metropolis.
