A SENSIBLE DEMOCRAT.

The editor of the Prairie du CHEN
Courier, who is a sensible democrat
and not one of the "fair min ded kind
who bet aged their party four years
ago, strikes from the shoulder in the
following article:
The republican who breaches demo-
cratic doctrines, and advocates demo-
cratic principles, but who always vutes
the republican ticket from top to bot
tom, is hypocritical demagogue of
the most dangerous type. The converse
of the proposition is true, and the
democrat who breaches republican
principles and votes the democratic
ticket is sneak, a coward and dan
gerous citizen. When you run across
republican who is talking in favor of
the democratic platform and it's prin-
ciples. and at the same time advising
his friends to vote for republican can
didates tor office. you have run across
dangerous demagogue, such as Wis
consin has been damned with the past
few years.

NOT WASHBURN-CROSBY
Makers of cold Medal Flour Not
Concerned in Minneapolis
pnCoiuorchID
RGCGiVGTShlD

It should be understood that the
Washburn- Crosby Co, makers of
GOLD MEDAL FLOUR. are in no
way concerned with the recent Mime
apolIs Touring mill r. Ownership. The
slight similarity III names has led to
some confusion.
One need have no fear that the
GOLD MEDAL housewives, whose
pictures have adorned the magazines
and newspapers, will cease to appear.
We shall see them the same as ever.
And the Washburn- Crosby Co. contin-
ue to be the largest milling concern
in the world.
Therefore, while the recelvership in
question Is most unfortunate, it dues
not by any means concern all Mime
apOlis flour mills. The Washburn-
Crosby Co, makers of the widely
advertised GOLD MEDAL FLOUR
shipped 5000 cars last year more than
their nearest competitor. And thew
are fourishlng still.

Natural Mistake.

While Sentaor La FUllettte was
speaking at the Epworth assembly at
Lincoln. Neb., on the evening of the
18th inst. gentleman in the audience
arose and called him democrat which
Mr.. La Toilette denied. The mistake
was natural. for Mr.. la Toilette has
only fought members Of his party at
home and elsewhere. he has associated
with democrats aud voted with them
in the senate. He has all of the ear
marks of a democrat-but it should
be remembered, that Wisconsin is a
republican state.

A TELEPHONE ANNIVERSARY

This year marks the twenty-ffth an
niversary of the organization Of the
Wisconsin Telephone COmpa ny. The
telephone was first used in Milwaukee
in 1876, the year of it's invention; the
company was formed six years later.
The quarter century has been one of
steady growth in the history of the
company. In 1885, it had in use 5000
telephones and had already begun to
make DR.. Bells invention more than a
local convenience, for there were then
$500 miles Of toll wire. By 1900, the
number Of telephones had increased
four-fOld and there was six times as
much toll wire as in 1885. Today, there
are more than $4,000 telephones con
nected with the system and the toll
lines are more than $4,000 miles IN
length.
This growth has been accompanied
by steady improvement Of the plant.
Lines, switchboards and other appa-
ratus are generally Of the most I'M
proved pattern, officers and employees
are well trained for their work and, as
a result, the service is of high stand
ard of efficiency and the twenty-hfth
anniversary year is one of increasing
PROSPERITY.

A RICH MANS LAW.

A primary election was held recent
ly in Illinois and the result was not
satisfactory. 1t was cumbrous and
costly and, in the cities, put too much
puwer in the hands of the little bosses
of henchmen, and good men were
robbed of nomination by members Of
the opposite parties voting the oppo-
site Uicket-and the farmers through
out the state refrainlng from going to
the primary election. The system,
Judging from results, was devised by
rich men to secure office by debauch
ing the voter or by shrewd politicians
using the machinery of the state to
keep themselves in Office by paying
workers out of the state treasury. IN
der the system, man no matter how
worthy, competent and brilliant he
might be, stands no chance if he is uUor
of securing political recognition. At
the present time, in the senatorial fight
In this state large sums of money are
being expended by the various candi
dates IN order to achieve success-men
no more deserving than hundreds of
other men who would reflect honor on
the state as members of the senate.
1t is time the primary election law
was repealed and there was return
to the Australian caucus system which
was good enough until purpose was
to be served. The cry of bossism was
to large extent all rot, for the state
was never, in all of its history cursed
by worse bossism than has abstained
in ths state the past eight years.
Away with fraud and humbug obtained
and give every man d fair show be he
rich or poor and-not discriminate
against the poor man who cannot
afford TO buy office.

MRS. MARY NCKLES DEAD
After Many Years Of Useful Life
Good Woman Is Called to Her
Reward.

Death has once more claimed
his own among the older inhabi-
tants of Socorro. AT twenty-five
minutes past three o'clock on the
afternoon of Thursday, Novem-
Der 20, Thanksgiving day, the
long and useful life of Mrs.
Mary Sickles was ended. Many
of Mrs. Sickles' friends and ac-
quaintances did not know that
she was in a critical condition, so
that the report of her death
caused them surprise as we'll as
sorrow. During the county fair
last September Mrs, Sickles had
a fall from a wagon and she did
not seem to recover entirely from
the effects of the accident.
Several days ago she was at
tackled by complication of
diseases which soon eliminated
in pneumonia and death. Mrs.
Sickles was good woman.
Many a recipient of her quiet,
unasSuming charity, as we'll as
the members of her large family
to whom her life was mainly de-
voted, will now bless her me mory.
Mrs. Sickles was born in Titus
vile, Pennsylvania, December 5,
1841. 1t was on the 10th day of
February, 1862, that she was
married to Cephas Sickles, the
husband who now mourns her
loss. Seven children were born
of the union, as follows: Mrs.
Lettie b. Goebel, now of Car
negie, Oklahoma; VIM. ]. Sickles,
of FL Paso, Texas; Chas. IL.
Sickles, of Seward, Alaska; Mrs.
Alice M. Stage, of Denver, Colo
RADIO; Mrs. Minnie l.. Van Dusen,
of Pochuca, Mexico; and Geo. C..
Sickles and Frank p. Sickles, of
Socorro. One sister of the de-
ceased, Mrs. Sarah Rochester, of
La Crosse, Wisconsin, also sur
wives her.
Mr. and Mrs. Sickles came to
Socorro on July 10th, 1892. For
many years past they have been
in the hotel business.
Funeral services will be con-
Quoted from the family residence

Things That Were Talked About at
the Mining School Just before
Thanksgiving Holiday.

ID. NJ. Miller was laid up with
what threatened to be a case of
typhoid few days ago but is
now on deck again.
Thanksgiving day and the day
following were holidays by virtue
of authority of the annual regis
ter. No objections were ex-
pressed.
c. n. Hilton went down to San
Antonio Wednesday afternoon to
be at home for Thanksgiving
turkey. He wore a bright smile
of anticipation as he jumped the
southb hbOund freight.
o. X. Robbins, a student in
the engineering department, re-
turned the first of the week from
a visit of several days down in the
vicinity of San Marcial where he
assisted w. w. Jones in survey
ing two or three ranches.
1t is now expected that the
new dormitory will be ready for
occupancy in about two weeks.
There have been some vexatious
delays but the end of them is
now in sight. The building will
be one of the most commodious
and comfortable of its kind in
New Mexico or anywhere else.
There is talk of the students
undertaking the project of max
ing a cinder path between the
city and the School of Mines.
The path would be a much need
ed improvement on the present
conditions, for the road would
long have been utterly impass-
able if sand and dust could make
