We farmers are all very busy look,
ing after the weeds that are growing
so nicely since the rain.
j. s. Bridwell has finished up hi,
work as assessor IN Penton township
and gone with the bunch to harvest.
Wonder why it is that Beaver isn't

county seat to not give praise to the
glorious Fourth of July.

John w. Detwiler is working on a
rural route to go south and west from
Riverside. We hope he will be sue
cessful and that il won't be long be-
fore we will see the rural route wagon.
Chas. James has traded his broom
machine for u cow and instead of max
ing brooms he will start dairy farm
We are unable to understand why il
is that the mail carriers have the
right to establish a new mail route
without even giving notice 10 the peo-
pie that are on the line. One never
knows where tn put their mail box. +.
and If all carriers are like the Engie-
wood driver, it wolld be well to in
vest in portable mail box.

TAFT SPEAKS IN BOSTON.
Secretary of War Defends Admin
istration Against Critics.


The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Boston gave a dinner
the other night at which Secretary of
War Taft was the guest of honor.
Here the Secretary delivered the reply
Of the Roosevelt administration TO its
critics in Wall street. Mr.. Taft placed
the blame for the passing financial
furry where he and the President be-
lieve it belongs. He defended Presf-
dent Roosevelt's policies in respect to
dishonest and law-breaking corpora
tons, and said that the President had
been made a target by rich and pow
erful enemies.
Secretary Taft declared the Presi-
dent was and is making a fight for the
honest business man. None but the
shifty and mendacious has been hit
and none but this class is raising
clamor against the President. he de-
clared
Following are extracts froh Secre-
tary Taft's speech:
For eight or nine months past there
were many indications that the loanable
capital of the world was near exhaustion.
The conclusion cannot be avoided that
the revelations of irregularity, breaches
Of trust, stock iObbing. over-issues of
stock, violations of law. and lack of rigid
State or national control of insurance
companies, railroad companies, traction
companies, and financial corporations
shocked investors and made them withhold
what little loanable capital was available.
1t would seem that our system of cur
rency is not arranged so as to permit its
volume to be increased temporarily to
cOunteract the sudden drain of money by
the boarding in a panic
The fright which seizes the depositor
and leads him to hoard his money spreads
like wildfre and is as unreasoning and
unreasonable as the spirit of mob.
The trust magnates, solidly intrenched
with great financial resources. are not the
ones who suffer most from panic. 1t is
the great body of business men and wage
earners.
1t is said that the administration has
arraigned the whole business community
as dishonest. / deny it.
| am earnestly opposed to government
ownership of the interstate railways. Gov
eminent ownership means State socialism,
an increase of power in the central gov
eminent that would be dangerous.

AGrdndStdnd Play


The day the Bar Y rowdies shot up
Tularosa, Encina Jones had no more
idea which man she would choose than
a girl with a nickel deciding between
caramels and chocolate fudge.
But when the sun dropped behind the
chaparral Of mesquite and yuccas, she
knew to dot. The man knew as well,
for he'd been proposed to and kissed
while the other fellow had begun a
seven-day jamboree.
Encina was a pretty creature with
velvet eyes and hair black as ink. Her
immediate ancestors were a New Mex
leo senorita and a Pan Handle COW
puncher pa, and Tularosa said she
wasn't afraid of the devil. With it all
she was as dainty as the snowflake
blossoms blowing In her yard.
John Marshall was one Of 'em. He
was raw-boned gent from up around
San Antoine somewhere, and wore store
bought clothes.
Tommy Mulhall was the other. His
trigger finger was the loosest in Tuia-
rosa county, and he stood six feet two
In his sock feet.
That afternoon Mr.. Marshall asked
Encina to the drug store for drink of
soda water, and just as they stepped
out of the emporium they came face
to face with Tommy. He had Just
emerged from the Rough Rider saloon.
"Howdy, Tommy said Encina sweet
". SORRY you couldn't join us in the
refreshments.
Indeed we are" echoed Mr.. Mar
shall. 1--WE might have another,
though; the nectar's fine !"
Not fer mine" Tommy exclaimed,
with breath stiff enough to hang a
hat on. "Ain't you-all gettin' reck-
Less"
Just what Tommy was going to ask
nevsr developed, for whoop sounded
down the street that made the windows
rattle.
"W-h-o-o-o-e-e-! Y-e-e-ii-p-pi"
The Bar Y gang had turned the cor
ner. They galloped down Main street
in cloud of dust, banging loose with
their Colts, right and left.
Men, women, cripples, children and
chickens bumped it for the back side
Of the nearest thing that looked like 1t
might stop bullet.
Tommy reached for his gun. In a
second 1t was unlimbered, and from be-

A FISHERMAID'S SONG.

The poplars tall kissed the cold, gray sky,
And in front was the hungry sea,
And the river swept dark and drearily by,
While the wind sighed mournfully;
Away In the west the low sun died,
The amethyst banks between;
And amid the reeds the plover cried
As gazed on that well-known scene.
And the fshermen's boats were far away
On the oceans heaving breast;
And the red lights cleaned wide over the
bay
From the high hills windy crest;
And l saw again my lovers boat,
With her white sails all outspread,
Like a joyous bird Ger the waters float
When the evening skies were red.
Tomorrow the sun In the east will rise
And the fishing fleets come home,
To gladden. the weary, waiting eyes,
Wet with more than the salt sea foam.
But, ali me for the boat that left the
shore
That eve when the skies were red.
For the fisher lad I shall see no more
Till the sea gives up its dead.
