get.
And all to please and satiate a few
war enthusiasts like Hobson.
Instead OF this suppose that the
United States should counsel peace
and arbitration; suppose she should
encourage other nations to settle their
difficulties without a resort to arms;
suppose we should encourage the
world-peace idea by being peaceable
and Industrious and generous. What
would the result be? Universal peace;
no need for navies; no need for
armies. except for local protection;
no burdensome war budget; no high
war enthusiasts constantly
alarming the public.
AS long as We persist in preparing
for war, we will be compelled to do
so. AS long as we are bristling with
war alarms. anticipating wars. talk
ing war, suggesting war, inviting war,
encouraging war, making war inevi-
table. we will have war.
But II we show other nations that
we are not seeking war; If we stop
trying to outstrip every other navy on
earth, If we encourage friendship and
arbitration. it will be but a few de-
rades until war would be absolutely |
and impossible on the
earth.
Nations, like individuals, receive |
lust about what they invite.

Captain Hobson in the course OF
his lecture last night urging an In
creased navy said that Japan could
pour 100000 trained soldiers into the
Pacific coast states through Los An
geles, San Francisco, Portland and
Seattle. What would the people OF
the United States be doing all this
time? Does Hobson give Americans
no credit for being patriots, soldiers,
fighters? Does he think they would
sit still and allow 100000 or 100000
or 500 armed japanese to be landed
on the Pacific coast? He certainly
does not know the people of the Pa
cfic coast.

SEVEN AGES OF MAN.

At first the infant
Mewling and puking in the nurses
arms.
Then the whining schooI-boy, with
his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping
like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the
lover,
Signing like furnace, with a woeful
ballad
Made to his mistress eyebrow. Then
a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded
like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick
in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And
then the Justice,
In fair round belly with good capon
lind,
With eyes severe and beard of for
NAL cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instan-
ces;
So he plays his part. The sixth age
shifts
Into the lean and sllpper'd panta-
looms.
With spectacles on nose and pouch
on side.
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world
too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big
manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble
pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last
scene of all,
Thaten ds this strange, eventful his
tory,
That ends this strange, eventful his
oblivion,
Sans teeth. sans, eyes, sans taste, sans
everything

UMATILLA'S CHEAP LAND.

Homeseekers who are coming into
Umatilla county in search of irrigat-
ed lands are delighted with the ex-
tremely moderate prices of rich irrt.
gated lands in this county.
People who have visited the Fur
nish-Coe lands. the Umatilla ranch
land. the Hihkle ditch project, the
Brownell land, the government irri-
cation project and other irrigated
lands in the west part OF the county
this week are amazed at the fact that
these intensely rich tracts are offer
ed for sale at from SIS to 5000 per
acre, the average price being 800 per
acre.
Over in Washington in the vicinity
of Wenatchee, Yakima and other ir-
rigation centers far inferior land is
held at from $3.50 to $500 per acre.
II Umatilla county the climate is su-
perior in many respects to that OF
Washington, excellent transportation
facilities are afforded here, and an
abundance Of water is supplied and
II seems unbelievable that land which
will grow anything on earth can be
bought, with water rights, for 800
per acre and even less.
This is bringing many genuine
into this county. They
feel that they are making a good in
vestment and they come to stay.

Governor To Insure
Farmers Free Seed
TEN THOUSAND BUSHEL TO BE DIS
TRIBUTED WHERE 1T WILL
DO MOST GOOD.

M arl ed Iraise is being given Coy
ernor Curry all over the territory be-
cause of the work he did while in
Washington recently in behalf of Sc
curing free seed for farmers in New
Mexico.
While it was not found possible for
the government TO donate the seeds
desired, the governor and collector
Bardshar got together with officials
of the department of agriculture
and after consultation it was sug-
gested that 10000 bushel of seed
wheat might be purchased on credit
and that the coming legislative assem-
lily should appropriate a sufficient
amount to pay for this seed wheat to
be distributed free to the farmers
and settlers who really need it.
The plan is very plausible and
Just one and it is understood Govern
or Curry has it under contemplation
and If possible it will BE- carried into
effect so as to furnish these new cti-
ens of New Mexico with seed wheat
for the coming spring.
This action on the part of the terri
torial administrator would show to
The thousands of incoming settlers
and prove to them that the people o.
New Mexico and their officials are
always ready and willing to help the
needy and aid those who come here to
make in their permanent homes,
should natural conditions be against
them, snch as drought ortoo much
rainfall.

A Plain Statement OF Facts.

The Mora County Democrats want
to make the comers in Mora county
believe that the moon that shines in
New Mexico is not a moon but cheese,
when it asked the comers to demand
a new deal in county affairs the dem
Ocrat must think that the new comers
are really very green. Don't the
Democrats remember that the Repub-
licans while in power created the
Office of travelling auditor whose duty
cords, and the said auditor who is a
highly respected officer and thoroughly
competent has complied with his duties
and that he has reported very favora-
bly, for the Office of Mora county, or
does the democrat in demanding an
inspection of the books accuse the
officer of not complying with his
duties? Does not the democrat remem
Der that the inspector of the books
showed that when the democrats were
thrown out Cf Office there was short
age in the collectors accout of sever
thousand dollars which have not been
accounted for yet. Does not the dem
odrat remember that tn, inspection of
books six years ago again found that
one OF the deputies in the collectors
office had misused a couple of thous-
and dollars and the money was
promtly paid into the treasurer by
the collector himself and without
having to reccur to his bondsmen and
that the offender was punished by a
republican administration.
Is the Democrat going to try by
means Of slauder and falsehood, mis-
guide the voters of Mora county, and
put the Democrat in full charge of the
affairs OF the county?
Be llolest, upright and sincere with
the voters. Ask them to look at the
books, themselves, they are always
open and for inspection and everyone
is welcome to go over them. The vot-
ers don't need to call the army and
navy of the Democrat to see the
books, they are, we repeat, open for
inspection.
The county surveyor Bushkevitz.
with his force of deputies were all
owed 81 $50 says the Democrat. The
records show that the county surveyor
with a full force of deputies had tC
90 all over the county surveying the
80 school districts in the county
Does the Democrat and their surveyor
if elected are going TO work fol
glory only? Are they sopoor worl
ers that they be afraid to ask price
, for their work in case they do an,
