expect grow in influence and power and, what is OF
vastly greater Importance in the happiness and prosperity
of people But have little to expect that
all this will happen of itself there would have been for
the who established this nation to expect that United
States would grow of itself without their efforts and sacr

interests of the moment long enough to realize that what
do will decide the future of the nation For, we
do take action the natural resources and
that soon our descendants will find them gone.
Let a homely illustration: We have all known
fathers and mothers devoted to their children whose aten
ton fixed and limited by the household outline of
daily life Such parents actively concerned with the
needs and precautions and remedies entaed in
bringing up family but blind every threat that was at
all unusual Fathers and mothers such these often
remain sereney while dangerous malady

Once the evil is discovered there sacrifice too great
to repair the damage which their unwilling neglect may
have allowed become irreparable So it think with
the people of the United States Capable of every devo

the habit of mprovidence and of to find
lodgmen 1t is our great good fortune that the harm is
not yet altogether beyond repair.
The profoundest duty that lies upon any father is to
leave his with reasonable equipment for the struggle
of life and utarnshed So the nobest task that
confronts all to-day leave this country unspotted
in honor and unexhased resources to descendants
who will be- not less than the children OF the founders
of the Republic. conceive this task to partake OF the
highest spirit of patriotism

The county dads convened Mon
day and were in session several
days. They were delayed on &C
count of the treasurer's report be-
ing behind the schedule which
held them over a day longer than
necessary. Robert J. Darnell OF
this district, whose election was
contested by the republicans, has
resigned his Office in favor Of |. C..
Barnes, who was the opposing
republican candidate. The ques-
ton seemed to hinge on a techni-
cality of law which provides for
the election OF county commission
ers for terms of two and four
years and in this case it is alleged
that |. c. Barnes, whose appoint
ment by the Governor was to fill
an unexpired term of four years,
should have held over and only
two commissioners were to be
elected and those for the end and
ord districts. Darnell was, it
seems tired OF the lob, anyway
and was pleased to turn it over to
Barnes, who, personally, would
have liked to had him keep it.. |.
G. Barnes, however, is the man
for the place, and having had
ample experience will be of great
assistance to the present board.
Everybody in Quay county will be
pleased to learn that he is one of
the county board.

reason that makes him the most
successful and the most satisfac-

anything within reason and the
Pennsylvania delegation, Republi-

1t is certainly a powerful influence
that New Mexico thus has at its COM
mand in the National halls of legis-
lation and even at the WhiteH louise,
and there are but few constituencies
that fare nearly as we'll as this
Territory. Even under statehood,
with two votes in the Senate and
two to three votes in the House, it is
to be doubted if this commonwealth
would receive greater consideration
in pension and other matters of vital
interest to citizens than it does at
present through Delegate Andews.

baled product. The editor knows

full of water as clear as crystal and
as clean as mother earth can de-

This enterprise is worth some
thing to Tucumcari and will grow
in value to the stockholders as the
town increases i'll population. The
stock is going to be worth more
money as the years roll by, when
the men who are now standing hy
it will realize handsomely off it's
earnings. Tucumcari has been
fortunate in having home people
who are able to carry on
these enterprises and we believe
rightfully appreciates them. Tu-

Tucumcari needs a commercial
club or board Of trade. The town
has grown to proportions that de-
mand something of this sort. Hun
dreds of people who comehere never
find out what the country is and in
many instances get acquainted with
but few before they decide
to locate. There is not enough
push in this line. Our business
men are hummers when it comes
to looking after business matters,
but there should be a greater in
terest manifested in the stranger
who might invest and become a
useful citizen. Suppose we or
ganize a board Of trade, a chamber
OF commerce or if that don't suit a
boosters club. Then we can get
a"stir on things and get much of
OF the desirable immigration that
now goes 10y us.

Miss Pratt lived 10 years without

taught to believe that marriage was a
sin. Then she married the first man
she ever spoke to.
Nearly 80 years ago a Mrs McWhir-

been visited by the Almighty, who
told her that it was sinful for a
woman to live with a man. Gathering
