Under the provisions of new law
passed by the sixtieth Congress and ap-
proved February 9th, 1908, citizens of
the United States otherwise having the
necessary qualifications are allowed to
make second homestead entry. The
new statute reads: "An act providing
for second homestead entries. Be it en-
ctej by the Senate and House of Rep
resentativss of the United States of
America in Congress assembled. That
any person who, prior to the passage
of this act, has made entry under tho
homestead laws, but from any cause
has lost, forfeited or abandoned the
same, shall be entitled to the benefits
of the homestead law as though such
former entry had not been made, ant
any person applying for second home
stead under this act shall furnish the de
scription and date of his former entry
Provided, that the provisions Of this ac
shall not apply to any reason whose en-
try was cancelled for fraud or who re

MOr6 FILINGS
in tbs territory

Santa Fe, N. M, March 5.-(Special)
The federal land officers in this city
announced today that the number of
homestead entries during February had
exceeded those of any previous month in
the history of the office, just as those for
January had exceeded every previous
month and as those during the present
month promise to exceed those of every
previous month.
Since New Year over 700 homestead
entries have been made at the Santa Fe
office, while at the other three Offices in
the territory fully 1900 entries wera
made. The rapidly increasing business
at the local land office necessitates the
employment of another clerk and today
Blake Franklin was transferred to the
position from the Cheyenne, Wyo, office.
The enormous business at the Clayton
office has necessitated move for the
creation of other land district, the
fifth for the territory, to have head
quarters at Tucumcari, Quay county
More than s, 900 people have been ad
ded to the population of the territory
since the new year. Denver Republican

Two Directors TO be Chosen in
each District and in some
Three
PATRONS SHOULD
TAKE AN INTEREST
Superintendent Clark Explains the
Law and it's Apparent Contra
dictions

Section 1882, Compiled Laws Of
1897 provides that
1-On the second Monday in Marcf
March 9th) school directors shall pos
notices of election to be held on the
first Monday in April (April 6th).
2-Only legal voters residing and pay
ing taxes in said district shall be quail
fled to vote. CA man who pays poll taA
is tax payer.
3-Hours of election, 8 A. NJ. to I
M.
4-Place of election, school house OF
some oIher convenient place specified il
notice.
5-Result of election must be certif.
ed to county superintendent by direc
tors giving notices of election and act
ing as judges of such election.
6-Term Of office of newly elected
directors begins first Monday in May
following the election (May 4th, 1908)
8-Penalty for failure to post notices
and to correctly report result of cleo
ton.
Chapter LV, Laws of 1901, pro-
vides,-
1-Term of office of school director,
three years.
2-Election to be held to fill vacancies
The law changing the date of
election of directors to
the first Monday in April
passed the legislature last spring at so
late date that it was impossible for
the various districts to hold an election
in 1907, Directors who's. terms were
to expire in 1907 have, therefore, held
over to 1908. This being the case there
must be at least two school directors
elected in each school district on April
9Th, 1908; one for three years to sue
ceed A, who was elected in 1905 and
whose term expires May fourth, 1908:
one for two years to succeed B. who
was elected in 1904 and whose term eX-
pired in 1907, but who held over be-
cause of no election.
The terms Of all directors who hold
Office by appointment expire May 4th,
1905 therefore directors must be
elected in such cases. If the districts
have been organized and all members
Of the board of directors hold Office by
appointment, three men must be cleo
ted, one for three years; one for two
years, one for one year,
There may be some apparent compli-
cation in the matter of election this
year, but the point should be kept in
mind that this election must be so
planned that under average conditions
one director need be elected in 1909,
and he for a term Of three ysErs.
| would recommend that the county
superintendants carefully study the con
ditions in zach Of his districts and noti-
fy cath board of school directors, CIV
ing definite directions as to,
a. Number of men to be elected.
b, Length of term of each.
c, Form Of oath.
d, Form Of ballot.

For life is teeming
With Gods sunshine clear.
But with all our loved ones
We would fain just now prevail
Lead them to our valle
Sing with them, All Hail

We forget our Albuquerque friends

Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1908-04-24

Washington, April 2l.--Mr. Roose..
velt has not given up the fight for four
0attlsships, and when the naval APP
preparation bill comes before the sen.
ate he will make an effort even mere
earnest than that made by him when
the bill was un.sr consideration In
the House TO obtain authorization to
build that number.
There are hints that Congressman
cannot expect to have the President
approve measures carrying heavy APP
preparations like public Building bills
which will be decidedly helpful to
them IN their districts when they re-
fused TO abide by his adyice that the
construction Of four battleships IL d
necessary step in the preservation Of
peace.
That there was ample reason for the
Presidents demand il asserted ia off,
| cial quarters, although there is no
| public statement Of what those reasons
are.
| whether Mir. Roosevelt viii send
another special message TO Congress
on the battleship question will depend
upon the action Of the Senate Commit
ties on Naval affairs. 1t Is the hope OF
the Administrations that In the mean
time the country will show enough In
terest IN The matter TO back up the
Presidents position. The President be-
lieves that the country IL with him ia
his demand for four battleships and
will respond heartily to scco.id ap-
peal to 1t patriotic spirit. II has been
arranged that II the Naval Committee
fails 10 make provision for the number
OF battleships desired by the President
Administration Senators will carry
thesfight to the floor, backed by another
special message much more emphatic
than that sent 10 the louise.

Take No Substitute.


III has become a common observation
for Republican warning in the ap-
preaching Presidential canvass that
the party in power in this country has
never yet gone through period Of in
dustrial depression without general
defeat at the polls. 1t is ia true obser-
walton.
The panic of 1887 brought general
Wing or anti-administratior successes
In 1888, and Wing Presidential vic
tory in 1910. The panic of 1867 was
followed by Republican or anti-admln-
istration victories in 1855, they elect
ing mere Representatives in Congress
than any other party; and Republican
victory in the Presidential canvass Of
1850. The panic of 1878 gave the DEM
ocrats the House in 1874, following
crushing Democratic defeat in 1872,
and the country was Democratic by
popular vote in the Presidential cleo
ton of 1876.
Even the moderate industrial depres-
sion of 1884 was followed by the defeat
of the party in power, while the panic
Of 1898, under Democratic admins
tration, was followed by sweeping
Republican successes In the elections
of 1894 aud the capture Of all branches
| OF the government in the election of
1896. The coming Presidential election
will DC the first ever held Immediately
following financial and commercial
crisis of the first magnitude.
II, then, the Republicans carry the
coming Presidential election, it will
mean the end Of the Democratic party,
according to all rule or precedent. For
| if the Democrats as an opposition
party cannot win in time of great
business depression, when can they?
If the Republicans as an admins
tration party caa VIGOROUSLY survive
even that which no other administra
| ton party has before been able to do
when will they present to an opposi-
ton organization the shining and al
Turing prospect of = victory? 1t Is
obvious that the outcome Of the i'm
pending contest involves possibilities,
in the way of new political Arguments,
| ofthe most far-reaohing consequence.
