President Roosevelt and Speak
err Cannon have reluctantly con-
sented to a tariff revision, but
both want the revision take
place after the next presidential
campaign is past, and then by
friends of the manufactors and
other protected interests of the
country. The voter who is caught
by such promises is a sap head
and should not be able to get his
name on the registration book.
The republican party is badly
shaken up on this question and
the leaders fear disintegration
unless promises are made to hold
the revolutionists in line. The
democrats will make a strong
fight against the present high
tariff and the west may drop in
line with them on this propo-
sition.

COUNTY CONVICT LEASING is
ABOLISHED.

The legislature finally passed
the bill doing away with the leas
ing of county convicts. Since
the state bought farms and be-
gan the working of her convicts
on them there has been a dispo-
sition to extend the law to coun-
v convicts, and Senator Hebron
1t Washington county succeeded
n placing such a law on the stat
ate books during the session of
the legislature just closed.
In counties like Lee the ques-
ton of handling the convicts
without loss will be one for the
supervisors of the county to set
tie as best they can. The law
authorizes them to buy a farm
and work that with them; or
work them on public roads; or on
a farm of another county, provi-
ded that wherever they are
worked they shall be under the
direction of an official represent
the county. In our county the
number of convicts is never
and the returns from their
labor will hardly pay the cost of
feeding, clothing and safely
keeping them. We favor road
working, if this can be done so
as to in some way compensate
the county for the expense that
must be incurred in handling
AS the board is made up
of practical farmers and business
we feel sure that they will
adopt the best and wisest plan
for the county.

The new county of Forrest
has sold $40, 900 of 5 per cent 20
year bonds and will erect a coun-
ty jail with the money thus OBJ
tanned. This is rather a poor adj
vertisement of a new county and
from this distance it seems that
the board of supervisors have &C
ted unwisely in making such eX
tensive and expensive prepare
ton for taking care of their fell
low citizens. With such apart
ments afforded there will be un-
usual inducements to break i INTO
Jail. If a buffet with an a la
carte service attached is added,
the temptation will be a little
more than the common run of
folks can stand; and attractions
of the law will increase in pro-
portion to the superior accommo-
dations afforded by the county.
A better investment of this mo-
ney would have been in building
good roads where bad ones now
exist.

A report comes from the Del
ia that Hon. Earl Brewer of
Clarkesdale is considering the
question of entering the race for
congress in his, the Third Dis
trict. now represented by Ben
HUMPHREYS. Mr.. Brewer made
a phenomenal race for governor,
and should he go into the fight,
will make it interesting for his
opponents. The report has al
ready been current that Mr..
Brewer would max the racee for
senate four years from now and
service of a term or two in the
lower house would add to his
usefulness in the senate if he is
chosen by the people to represent
them in this august body.

TROUBLE BREWING
OVER PLATFORM
Democracy Seems to Be Spelling for
a "Rumpus"--Anti-lnjunction
Plank Bone of Contention.

Denver, June Rumblings or
opposition TO the radical anti.injunc
ton plank in the Democratic platform
have reached the ears of the Bryan
leaders and they declared today that
the critics are not only somewhat pre-
mature but are spending their strength
fighting a shadow. Not even a draft
| Of the plank has been prepared nor
has its substance been determined
upon 1t is realized on all sides that
the wording of this particular plank
lis matter of great importance and
it will not be drawn until after full
discussion is had with party leaders
1t has been arranged in accordance
with the custom of the Democratic
party, that all contests for seats on
the temporary roll call will be heard
by the subcommittee of the nation
al committee which is to meet July 6.
1t is believed the contests will not
consume a single day.
The matter of the number of dele
gates and alternates from the Philip
pine Islands may be carried to the
floor of the convention. Several prom
inent politicians have already express
ed the opinion that it is unfair to
these delegates to bar them from the
proceedings and have declared their
purpose of making an attempt to Sc
cure for the Islanders the power to
vote for presidential and vice presi-
dental candidates.

MRS. ROSS M'MILLAN
DIES AT COYOTE
Wife of Forest Supervisor Passes
Away After Brief illness
Death a Shock to Friends.

Mrs. Gracia 3. Mcmillan, wife Of
Ross Mcmillan, supervisor Of the
Pecos, Jemez, and Taos National
Forests, died Friday night at their
mountain home near Coyote after an
illness of several weeks The cause
of her death is given as a complica.
ton of diseases.
Mrs. Mcmillan had been at the Co.
vote cottage about six weeks and it
was not generally known in Santa
Fe that she was critically i'll. Her hus-
band was in the city two weeks ago
after attending the funeral of his
father at Denver, who died in the
latter city rather suddenly about a
month ago Mr.. Mcmillan was called
to Coyote on account of the illness
Of his wife but a report reached San.
Ia Fe that she was not critically Ill.
The news Of her death came like a
thunderbolt out of a clear sky. 1t
was known that she was seriously Ill
by few, as Dr. David Knapp had
been attending her constantly for
about ten days. Although she died
Friday night nothing was known of
the sad affair until Saturday evening
when Undertaken L. f. Montenie re.
ceived q telephone message to 60 to
Coyote and prepare the body for in
terment
Mrs. Mcmillan was very lovable
woman, about 27 years old, ever pleas
ant and the proud and loving mother
of three bright children. She was a
Buffalo, New York, girl and her moth
or is now in her eastern home where
she went but short time before Mrs
Mcmillan left for the summer cottage
at Coyote a little over month ago
Mrs. McMillan's mother expected to
return soon and spend the summer
with her daughter near Coyote.
The body will be brought to Santa
Fe over the Denver and Rio Grande
railway. 1t is possible that Mr.. Mon
tenie and Mr.. Mcmillan will arrive to
night but 1t is not probable as Coy
ote is long days drive from Espan
ola and through mountainous coun
try. 1t Is likely that the body Will DC
taken to Buffalo for burial.

LID ON TlCHTIN
SANTA FE SUNDAY
Merchants Generally obeyed Orders
Of District Attorney-PIaza Foun-
tain Did Bio Business.

Following the announcement in the
New Mexican Saturday evening that
the Sunday closing law on the statute
books of the territory would be rigid
ly enforced the merchants decided to
heed the warning almost to the let
ter. Sunday was indeed a tight day
in the Capital City. Cigars were at a
big premium Liquor was as scarce as
pleased soda fountain owners, tobac-
co was not to be had other than by
begging, and groceries or dry goods
were as far removed from purchasers
as locked doors could make them,
The drug stores were opened but
with one exception, it is claimed, moth
ing was sold outside of needed medi-
cine. 1t is claimed that certain drug
store had its soda fountain running as
the owner had been informed that the
law would not cover the operation Of
soft drink emporium.
Ice cream could be purchased at
restaurants but the hotels and desta-
urants had their cigar cases under
lock and key. Hackmen did not cease
making trains and hauling tired pass
engers and the liverymen had out
their teams. The operation of this bus
mess is said to be excluded by the
law as is the sale of ice cream by res
taurants.
District Attorney r. C. Gortner
stated to reporter for the New Mex
lean this morning that he understood
that a certain drug store had run
it's soda fountain yesterday. He made
few inquiries as to whether anyone
purchased drinks yesterday but had
little success. Sheriff c. c. Closson
was out of the city yesterday. Mr..
Gortner had -urned the matter of po'
lcing the city for violations of the law
over to him but there seemed to be
no occasion for any investigation as
about the strongest thing to drink was
the fluid taken from the Woman's
Board of Trade fountain in the Plaza
which was besieged all day.
"As long as baseball games do moi
disturb religious worship l do not
think that they can be stopped on
Sunday" stated District Attorney
Gortner. "At least that is my interpre
tation of the law. This statute has
been held to be constitutional and i
the public does not desire it to exis
longer it Is up to It to have the Law
repealed. While 1t is law it should b.
enforced"
Many persons grumbled yesterday
but the majority of the people tool
the matter in jocular way and rail-
Ilery could be heard on every hand
The movement hit the soda fountain
men harder than anyone and natural
,ly they were expressing their views IL
none too complimentary terms.

REVOLUTION IN MEXICO
ASSUMES SERIOUS ASPECT
Insurrectionists Terrorize State of Chi.
huahua and Menace Torreon
and Parral.
GOVERNMENT TROOPS ARE BEING PUSHED TO SCENE
Republic Will Call Upon United States to Enforce
Neutrality Laws international Complications

City of Mexico, June 29.--The In.
ternal troubles in Mexico which de.
veloped several days ago along the
northern border of the republic, have
assumed most serious aspect. Today
the storm center is around the city of
Torreon and in the country between
that place and Parral where bandits
are operating in conjunction with the
insurrectionists. Government troops
are being rushed to the scene. Already
1900 federal soldiers have arrived at
Torreon to reinforce the garrison at
that place, while 200 more have reach
ed Juarez. In Chihuahua soldiers are
patrolling the streets and public hOus-
es and jails are being heavily guarded.
In view of the developments of the
past twenty.four hours, Ambassador
Creel, who has been here on a leave
of absence, has been instructed to
return to Washington without delay.
Will Look to v. S. For Help.
It Is the belief of the Mexican gov.
ernment that the revolutionary move.
ment was fermented by band Of agi-
tators who have made their headquart-
ers in the United States. On this
ground it is believed that Ambassador
Creel will appeal to the United States
authorities to assist in apprehending
the revolutionists concerned in the at
tack on Las Vacas. A request will be
made also that if any ring-leaders are
captured in the United States they
shall be tried in the courts Of that
country on charges of violating the
neutrality laws.

tionists, the government has gained
the upper hand. Troops are in com.
plete control of the situation in that
city. The rebels and bandits have been
driven back to the mountains. A large
force Of cavalry has been sent into the
|hills on the heels of the fugitives and
the chase Is now in progress The
government proposes to make an ex.
ample of it's foes as an object lesson
to others who might join in the move
ment in other sections and will treat
the Mexican citizens concerned in the
recent raids as common criminals and
traitors.
State Department Watching Situation
Washington, June 29.-The state de.
|partment is carefully watching the de.
velOpments of the insurrectionary
movement along the Mexican bound.
AIRY. The department officials feel that
the international aspect of the trouble
will be adjusted satisfactorily and ev-
cry effort will be made for the preser-
vation of mutual peace, although SER
Iious complications may arise. The
state department has received from
the attorney general and his subord.
mate officers in Texas and from the
governor of Texas assurances that
everything possible will be done to
enforce the neutrality laws. So far as
known here, the activity of the
Mexcans in the United States has
been confined to the conduct of rev.
olutionary newspapers and perhaps to
the purchase of such arms and am
munition as might be secured in small
quantities, but nothing extensive in
that respect, the officials say, has been
attempted.
