CHICAGO REFORMfRS
WILL MAKE A FIGHT
They VIII Try Il "Man-tO- Man Meth
cd To Secure Votes After This.

Chicago. Dec. 24.--Adopting as its
motto the adage Flight the devil with
fire." the Chicago law and order leag
ue has begun work on political or
ganization which will cover the
whole city and employ as its own all
the legitimate methods Of the ward
boss and the practical politician.
DR. J. V. Bacon, president, has is
sued specific instructions to members
that they are to take the average sa-
loonkeeper as their political mentor
and model, using the "man-to- man
method.
"a customer comes in," says the
doctor, "and the saloon man feels
him out He finds out where his sym
pathies lie Then he begins inculcat-
ing his own ideas. The customer
may differ with him They argue.
always in friendly spirit. The re-
suit is that when that man leaves the
saloon he may not have been convert
ed to the saloonkeeper's political ideas
but he thinks that salooukeepcr is a
good fellow and he has considerable
respect for his opinions.
"Now. that Is the way we ought to
work Get out with your neighbOrs
and talk 10 them, man to man; find
out what their political leanings are
and nolnt out to them the advantage
Il will be 90 the city IL they talk and
vote for the things that the law and
order league stand for"

ufncture. tie Price VIII be
IleSscncd.

Chicago, Dec. 2i.-Edward Hines.
newly-elected president of the Vir-
ginia and Rainy Lake Lumber COM
pany, the largest combine in the
world of is kind, predicts cheaper
lumber and a new era in It's produc-
tion as a result of the new organiza-
ton.
1T Is our intention to cheaper the
cost of manufacturing, and. of course
to cheaper the cost to consumers pro-
portlonately" says Mr.. Hines 1--WE
viii not do this, however at the ex-
pense of the country by reckless or
wasteful numbering methods.
1--WE Will work in harmony with
the forest departments of the United
states and Canada, and we hope to
make money out of the things that
they will ask US to do For instance,
we will utilize all the timber on the
ground we cut over We will not
simply pick out the choice trees, leav-
ing dead wood and brush to feed for
est fires. We will clear the land so
that instead of being "A worthless Wild
erness after il Is cut over It will be
valuable for farming purposes.
1--WE are also hoping that a further
reduction may be made in the cost Of
lumber to American consume ~
the taking off OF the tariff. The great
er part OF our land is in Canada. and
this would enable us to bring the
Canadian lumber into the United
states a thing that the tariff prac-
tically prohibits now

Everything indicates that New
Mexico will be admitted to the Union
at the present short session OF Con-
sress, / have taken part in many
statehood campaigns, but l have never
seen our chances better than at pres
ent"
This was the statement made to-
aay by Hon. Solomon Luna, Repub-
lcan national committeeman, and
well known sheep raiser, who reach
ed Albuquerque on the limited He
was accompanied by Mrs. Luna, who
will remain with him in Albuquerque
until after the holidays.
Mr.. Luna has been in Washington
attending the hearings of the tariff
revision committee. before which he
was an important witness on the ques-
ton of wool production.
Governor Curry was a passenger on
the same train, but left it at Lamy
and went to the capital
To a Citizen reporter Mr.. Luna
said:
Il do not make the positive state
ment that we will receive statehood
from the short session of Congress
but l feel that our chances for it
are eXcellent-in fact, better than
they have ever been.
president Roosevelt is very earn
est in his desire to secure our admis-
sion and said to seveI6l members OF
our delegation that he hoped to have
the pleasure of signing our statehood
bill before he left office He said
also that he believed without doubt,
that his desire would ~ fulhlled.
There is a majority in both
branches Of Congress in favor Of our
immediate admission and there does
not appear to be any organized at
tempt to Illustrate the passage of the
statehood bill. Practically all of the
senators and representatives with
whom he talked, favored the bill and
are prepared to vote for 1t any time
it comes before them. The present
bill is a very liberal one but most OF
the congressman say that we are en-
titled to a liberal bill and that they
will favor it. The president also told
me that he favored a liberal state
hood bill for this territory and that
he would do what he could to see that
we received one. I feel that we have
every reason to be encouraged and
that our admission TO the Union is
at hand"
Relative to the reduction of tariff
on wool, which some revisionists
have advocated, Mr. Luna said:
81 was before the committee as a
witness for several hours and was
closely questioned regarding the cost
of production. I made the point,
which 1 believe TO be correct, that the
increase in the cost of production of
wool during the past ten years, more
than offsets the tariff schedule as il
stands at present. l answered many
questions along this line. Sheep rails
ers and wool dealers from all over
the country, are taking an active in
terest for the protection of the indus
try. In my estimation, there will be
no change in the tariff on wool. I
90 not believe it will be reduced nor
advanced materially"
Mr.. Luna viii remain here until
after the holidays, visiting friends
and relatives and attending to per-
sonal business.

of the said office. The suit revives
the troublesome days of Bernolino
county officials during the year 1905,
when NJ \. Otero, then governor OF

The plaintiff in the case was elected
to the office of treasurer and eXoffi-

1905, he was removed from office and
the defendant appointed to the place.
Judge Abbott decided against Hub

the supreme court, which placed Hub
bell in charge of the office in Janu-

of office expired.
