way OF thinking.

The overshad0Wil issue of the cam
paign really is Shall the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt be ap-
proved, shall! a party Of demonstrated
capacity i'll administrative affairs be
continued in power, shall the reins of
government be placed in experienced
hands, or do the people prefer to trust
their destinies to an aggregation of
experimental malcontents and theOr-
ISIS, whose only claim to a history is
a party name they pilfered?

wise legislation two score years of
faithful administration offering its

promises for the future, the Republi-

Married by Blood.

In the island Of Banquey there is a
tribe of Dusuns differing widely in
language, religion and customs from
other tribes bearing that name. Mar
riages are performed in the forest in
the presence of two families. There
is no public gathering or feast. The
rite consists in transferring a drop of
blood from a wooden knife in the cal
Of the mans leg to a similar cut in
the woman's leg. After marriage the
man takes the bride to her home,
where he resides in future as a mem
Der of the family.

DENIES THAT gRYAN
COULD Do no HARM. !"

Congressman Burke Says Office OF
President Is Infinitely Eore Pow
erful Than Congress.
Congressman James FIaficir Burke,
of Pittsburg. in an address on The
Powers of the President. says:
THE American people can make no
greater mistake than to eject Mr.
Bryan Oh the assumption that be can
do no harm ia the face of an adverse
Senate. AS between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
ment, the former has Infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter.
''Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types of men. Each pos
sesses a strong individual character.
which would certainly assert itself III
the White House. What either o.
these men would do during four
years term in the White House Is
causing as much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter of election alone.
AS disturber of moneys the Pres
ident is without a rival in the sEorld-
Through the agencies under his con
troll he will this year disburseea dllion
dollars, showing the great things We
are doing in adding to the unparalleled
list of the worlds achievements.
IN view of the fact that during
the fifteen years of Bryan leadership
the States controlled by his party have
decreased from % to II, the number
of Senators from 4S to 81, the number
OF Representatives in Congress from
220 to 1914, and in that time the Demo
cratic party was in control of the
ground, whereas 1t is now, as conse-
Quence of his teachings, a hopelessly
heterogeneous mass Of Populistic ele-
ments, the American people can see
little prospects of a constructive policy

LABOR WORLD FOR TAFT.
Characterizes Him as True Friend
of the Workingman.

(From the Concord On. H. Monitor.)
The Labor World comes out strongly
in it's advocacy of Mr.. Taft 1t charac-
terizes him a true friend of labor and
declares that the unfair attacks of Mr..
Gompers will have little or no effect in
alternating from him the labor world.
1t says: "That Secretary Taft is true
friend of labor is certain, and all the
untrue, ungenerous, vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend of the
wage worker. Organized labor cannot
afford to have itself split up into fac
tons on this political issue. That Pres
ident Gompers is wrong in forcing this
most ominOus fight is certain, and in
telligent wage workers will certainly
come to this conclusion"

TAFT'S RELIGION.

A Consistent Christian with No Spot
Upon His Record of Private Con-
duct and Public Service.
To dispose of questions which should
not be asked as speedily as possible let
us say that Mr. Taft is a member of
the Unitarian church. That was the
church of his parents and he has never
separated himself from it. His wife.
however, is an Episcopalian, and he
wOrships more often beside her in her
church
These are the facts, which are utter
ly and absolutely unimportant. The
matter of mans religion has no right
full place in consideration of his fitness
for the presidency. The constitution
of the nation, ordained and established
ito secure thes blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity," expressly
places the very suggestion of such
thought outside the pale of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from our country's fundamental law,
mo religious test ever shall be re-
quired as a qualification to any Office
or public trust under the United
States"
The numerous queries about Mr.
Tafts religious belief shows simply the
extent to which his enemies have gone
to rouse some prejudice against him.
Since there was no spot upon his whole
clean record Of private conduct and
public service to which they could
point to Taft's detriment they display
cd their willingness to descend to any

1t is not wise plan to stay in

'"Fhe fight this year will be to carry

so often repeated, My Country, "Tis of
Thee If we lose, our children and
orr children's children will not succeed
to the spirit of that song, and celebra-

Is there any spot in these United

a meaningless date on the calendar?
One of the most ridiculous of these
prophecies was contained in a speech
Mr.. Bryan made in support of Judge
Parker during the campaign of 1904,
when he attacked President Roosevelt
bitterly This prophecy had it that
military despotism was sure 20 follow
the decrease in the size of the standing
army In this speech Mr.. Bryan also
emphasized the fact that he was then
and always would be a firm believer in
the principle of free silver. He sum-
med up his position on this question in
the following sentence:
81 believe to-day in the principles set
forth at Chicago and Kansas City (1e

Race Question "Local IssueP"

There seems to be no ground for rea-
sonable doubt that the Democratic
campaign managers in the West, in the
effort to secure negro support for their
national ticket, are acting u1on the
principle that the race question is Oulv
a local issue" 1t is evident that the
South does not approve this plan of
campaign, but is powerless to check 1t.
The Democracy of the South is in full
accord with the position taken by the
West Virginia Democrats last week.
And yet it is assumed by those who
are trying to get negroes to support
Mr.. Bryan that the South will act in
hearty cooperation with the Ohio, Ne
braska, Kansas and Illinois Democrats,
who are welcoming the negro into free
fellowship in the Democratic party
and probably promising to annul the
decision of President Roosevelt in the
Brownsville matter. The theory of
Western Democrats that the race prob
lem is merely a local issue is calcu-
lated to give the South much concern.
Many Democrats in that section may
question whether it is worth while to
elect a Democratic president who may
open wide the door of political oppor-
tunity to the negro.

NOTES FROM NEW MEXICO
MILITARY INSTITUTE

The examinations, which closed
the second academic term of the pres
ent session at the New Mexico Mill
tary Institute, were finished last Fri
day, and the results, as a whole, are
very gratifying to the officers and
their assistants in charge of the re
spective departments. The highest
honors for the secon term in the
collegiate department were carried
off by Cadet Arthur Stancliff, Third
Glass, of Lake Arthur, New Mexico.
Cadet Charles Fraley, of Santa Fe,
ranks second. We publish below the
names of the first twenty-one men,
all of whom rank above IS per cent
for the entire grades, as well as of
department for the entire thirteen
weeks embraced in the term.
Honor List.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-02-28

While the averages were made
principally by men in the Fourth,
Third and Second classes, the work
lone by the Seniors or First Class
men was especially good. Their
course is naturally a hard one this
year. II it is not expected that their
average grade will rank above a good
Fourth Classman, who carries much
easier studies and ones in which he
is better able to make high grades.
Out of the entire 145 cadets on duty,
only two in the collegiate department
and three in the preparatory depart
ment were declared totally deficient
for the term. Besides these, about
eight are reported deficient on one
study, which it has been determined
they can make up and redeem them
selves in before n end of the year
The cadets holding first stand in
the respective classes are as follows:
of CO. Company.
Second Glass, c. A. Rowley, First
Sergeant of &c" Company.
Third Glass, Arthur Stancliff, who
holds the distinction of being the
largest cadet at the Institute.
Fourth Glass, Cadet Charles Fra
ley, of Santa Fe, who is making a
hard run for first stand in the AGA
demic department, and who won that
distinction at the close of the first
term. Cadet Fraley will no doubt be
at the top. or near the top, at the
close of the school year. as he is a
determined student and a hard
worker.
The editors of the ono are now
hard at work, preparing to get out
their year book. 1t is their intention
to make the book larger, more pro-
fusely illustrated, and in every way
a better representation of the school
than heretofore. 1t is their intention
to spend about $500 on the publica-
ton. Mr.. Hess is already at work.
the cadets are handing in drawings
and other material.
Captain Barlow, Z. S. Army, Re-
tired, is spending a few days at the
Diamond A Ranch, to see if he a
shake off the after-effects of the
grippe, which has annoyed him so
much this spring.
The cadets are arranging to get up
a musical comedy, which they viii
give some time the latter part of
March. The entertainment will be
for the benefit of the Athletic Asso-
citation.
The baseball players are on the
diamond every afternoon and he of
icers in charge believe they have
splendid prospects for a good team
this year. Captain Webster has been
appointed Manager of Athletics and
is trying to arrange a schedule and
will. 40 doubt, have some games be
fore a great while. At any rate, the
cadets are confident that they will
be prepared to meet all corners by
the middle of March. An especial eff
fort will be made to arrange games
with schools in the western part of
the Territory, and. on ccou of the
new railroad, it is possible to go to
Albuquerque. play a game or Satur-
