PROHIBITION HOT
FROM THE GUN.
Rev. Warner Dv Bose Com.
pares the Wkiskey Traffic
With Opium Curse
of China.
PEOPLE TO BLAME THROUGH
LEGISLATION.

The editor OF the News has
heard and read many arguments
pro and con, hither and yon, on
the subject Of Prohibition, from
Luther Benson's lecture era to the
famous Roger 9. Mills campaign
in Texas, but for conciseness of
statement, depth and magnitude of
argument, Du Bose, in his sermon
Sunday night from the Presbyter-
ian pulpit, put more logic and
elegantly proposed reasoning into
the subject than we have ever be-
tore heard. He covered the sub
ject from heather China to 2oth
century United States, and put
the charge of malfeasance of citi-
zenship on the people responsible
for legislation, instead of jumping
| into the business legalized by
statute.
AS he fittingly states, "compar-
ison is odius," and it is doubly so
when the traffic of opium and
whiskey is compared; but we
agree with his argument insofar as
if the sale of intoxicants is ever to
be successfully prohibited in the
United States it must be done by
state and national legislation, bet
ter nationals and if the News were
going to suggest the plan, it would
be to take the tax off every dis
titled intoxicant and make drunk
ness felony. The tax has caused
the growth and abuse of the traffic
and the adulteration of the product.
Blends and chemicaled liquors
were never known until the gov
ernment sought to derive a reve-
nue. out Of its manufacture and
sale. Anyway Du Bose lecture
is an able one, and is worth read
ing whether you agree with the
argument or not. 1t is in part as
follows:
'CHINA's EXAMPLE; SHALL WE FOL-
Low TIP"
There is an old proverb, Out
of the East Light. Today this
statement is indeed true, for the
old nation OF China has given to
the world an example OF national
Legislation which cannot be equaled
by any act OF England, France,
Germany or America. Today we
are forced to look to the Orient
to witness the greatest act OF
legislation that has been enacted

Governor Curry and New Mexico Dele
gate Accomplish Large Amount
of Work for Territory.
Thousands Of Acres Of Land Returned TO Public
Domain from Large Forest Reserves in Territory

Statehood is assured from this
session of Congress and the state
hood bill will unquestionably pass
at the short session of that honora-
BILE body. You may state that
Governor Curry and the New
Mexico delegation have positively
secured the unreserved assurance
of President Roosevelt, Vice-Pres-
dent Fairbanks, Secretary Taft.
Speaker Cannon, Senator Bev-
eridge and Chairman Hamilton OF
the House committee on territor-
les, and that they say the state
bill will 60 through without a
hitch"
This information, which will be
read with pleasure all over New
Mexico, was made public by Hon.
Solomon Luna and Hon. II. 0.
Bursum, members OF the New
Mexico delegation, who returned a
few days ago from Washington.
Both of these men, who have spent
over a month in the national capi-
tai, are enthusiastic over the pros
poets of admission to the union
at an early day and of the support
that the territory has received
from the most influential men OF
the country. Continuing they
said:
There is no question that New
Mexico will at last secure state
hood. Sentiment in congress is
strong for statehood, and both
committees are favorable to our
early admission, Arrangements
have been made to send a Joint
committee of the Senate and
House to New Mexico during re-
cess to inquire fully into our fit
ness for statehood. We know,
and the members OF Congress gen
orally know, that New Mexico will
more than make good on close in
spection. We have nothing to
fear and every thing to gain from
such a committee, and they will
be given ample opportunity to see
everything in New Mexico.
This territory is receiving
more friendl y recognition than at
any time in her history. Congress
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1908-02-22

has heard Of the success of dry
farming, the influx of thousands of
farmers, big watermelons and
eight foot corn, as we'll US other
products too numerous to mention,
which are bringing this territory
to the front at a rapid pace.
This statehood bill would no
doubt have been passed by Con-
gress at this time had it not been
on the eve of a presidential elec-
ton. Nearly all legislation pos
sible is being deferred until after
the election.
'One thing of the many good
things obtained by the governor,
delegate Andrews and the New
Mexico delegation is the appropri-
alton OF S25, 900 for the entertain
ment and expenses of the big Irri-
CATION Congress which will assem-
bic this fall. The bill pro-
viding for the appropriation will
undoubtedly be passed by Con-
gress.
Governor Curry and Delegate
Andrews are doing magnificent
work for New Mexico and they are
entitled to the gratitude of all the
people in this territory, regardless
OF party.
"A bill has been introduced in
Congress and iavorably reported
by the committee, endorsed by the
secretary of the interior and the
department OF justice, which will
permanently and promptly settle
all disputes about timber lands in
New Mexico.
he administration realizes the
Importance Of a prompt settlement
of these questions in order to pro.
tect business interests in New
Mexico and with a view to equit.
ably adjusting all questions of diff.
ference, and especially in view oI
the fact that there were no frauds
in any OF the transactions bu,
simply technical violations rem

operation through all of its depart
ments to the erd that all differ,
ences might be permanently and
promptly settled.

Another matter Of Importance
taken up by the governor, the del
egate and the New Mexicans was
the forest reserves. They were
fully discussed with the bureau of
forestry and as result the for.
ester agreed to the immediate re-
opening of over one million two
hundred thousand acres of land
heretofore withdrawn. These
lands are located in the extensions
of the Pecos, Jemez, Lincoln,
Gila and Manzano reserves.
The forestry department had
heretofore made ruling that scrub
cedar and pinon, where same
could be marketed, should be con-
sidered commercial timber. This
ruling has been set aside and no
new reserves will be created under
that ruling. Moreover, such as
have already been created not con-
tanning commercial pine timber or
that are not particularly valuable
as watersheds for the conservation
of water supplies for irrigation pro.
jects, will be promptly thrown
open to the public domain as be-
fore. The latter is OF greatest
importance to stockmen and set
tiers alike.
Important action was secured
with reference to the Navajo
reservation extension in San Juar
county. The original proclama
ton for this extension seems tc
have been mistake as to the area
The same has been curtailed tc
about one-half of the origina
amount OF land involved. The In
dian department advised us tha
this withdrawal of lands is only o
temporary nature for the pur
pose of making allotments to suct
Indians as have actual possession
of lands within such extension
which allotment shall not exceed
100 acres OF land, actually occu
pied and that such allotments will
be made as rapidly as possible tC
have the surveys made. In tn,
meantime stock men will be per
mitted to Craze live stock upor
these lands. Immediately afte
these allotments have been mad,
the lands will again be thrown
open to the public. The Indiai
department has also in mind tn,
allotment of the original reserva
ton, with view to throwing opel
to settlement the lands remaining
after the allotment.
THE territorial institution bone
issue, authorized by the last legis
lation, has been favorably acte,
upon by the committee and will
undoubtedly be ratified by Con
gress.
This bond issue is of grea
importance to New Mexico since j

Republican Senatorial Gossip.

1t was reported in certain quarters
Tuesday night, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune. that the end of
the Senatorial fight is in sight, and it
will come about through the agency of
the county unit local option bill.
According to the plan outlined the
county unit bill will be takeni from
the Committee on Religion and Morals
and recommitted to the Committee on
Kentucky Statutes. This will be a
victory for the liquor men, and later
the bill will be killed and in exchange
for the help of the Republicans in kill
ing it the anti-Beckham Democrats
will vote for Bradley. If this fails to
elect him Bradley will, according to
the story, Withdraw from the race and
let the Republicans unite on some anti
Beckham Democrat and elect him.
This cannot be brought about for ten
days or two weeks. but that is the
best information that can be secured
on the situation.

SLAIN BY HIS son.
Famous Jackson Store Scene
of Bloody Tragedy. Killing
Result of Slight Difference
Between Father and Son.

3 special dated Jackson, KY, Feb
r1ary 9th, p. M, says:
rive shots rang out in rapid success
sim at 8 O'Clock this afternoon, and
Judge James Hargis fell dead in his
own store at the hands of his son,
Beach Hargis.
The killing is the result of some
slight difference between Judge Hargis
and his son, the worst previous difficult
Nv having happened in Judge Hargis'
home only a few nights ago when the
father was compelled to resort to vio-
fence to restrain the son.
Young Hargis had been drinking
very heavily for some time, and it had
been feared that this tragedy would
happen.
He approached his father in the store
this afternoon, in drunken condition.
When the latter accosted him about
drinking, Beach went behind the coun-
ter in the store and fired upon his faith
er. with fatal result as stated.
James Brophy, formerly of Bourbon
and brother of John Brophy) chief
clerk in Judge Hargis' store, was
waiting on a customer in the same
room at the time of the tragedy, but
was unable to reach the scene in time
10 restrain the drink-frenzIed boy. The
Young lady 5ookkeeper in the store
and lady customer were also in the
room at the time, but ran at the first
shot
Judge Hargis said nothing after he
was shot except to call for mercy and
some other EXPLANATIONS. He was i'm
nediately carried to his home, where
be expired within about ten minutes
after shooting.
Young Hargis was Immediately ar
rested by Town Marshals Govan Smith
and Grover Blanten and placed in jail.
He was raving maniac and the

The tragedy caused great excitement
and CONSERVATION in town, and the

Young Hargis is twenty-one years
old, and had been very reckless for the
past few years.
