DIR. Jacob Gould Schurman Hon.
ored by Former Students
of Eastern University

DR.. James Gould Schurman, president
of Cornell university who is on his
way north to deliver number of lee
lures, was prevailed upon to sojourn
long enough in San Francisco by the
Cornell Club of Northern California to
meet them at the banquet board, and
yesterday 45 graduates of the univer-
sity met the distinguished educator and
philosopher at the Fairmont hotel for
a luncheon.
Old times were gone over again and
many a story of college days was re-
cited. David Starr Jordan, president
of Stanford university, told of his first
venture into the realm of poesy and
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the
University of California, both old Cor
nell men, kept the guests merry with
tales of professors who have gone and
of scenes which in the development of
time have been eradicated.
DR.. Schurman told of the present

AUDITOR HOLDS UP
ACTING CHIEFS PAY
Rejects Salary Demand of CUT
Ter for Filling Office After
Biggy's Death
Commissioner Not in Mood to
Discuss His Claim Against
City

Police Commissioner and Acting
Chief'' A. D. Cutler was yesterday re-
fused payment of the December salary
OF the office of chief of police by the
auditor. No salary warrant for the
office of commissioner in Cutters name
was presented to the auditor, and ac-
cording to the office force in the city
hall departments the rejected salary de-
mand for s3SS.SS was later called for
and withdrawn.
Cutler himself denied any particular
knowledge of the making Of the de-
mand. Purely a perfunctory routine
matter. sent up with 500 others" in
his own words; and last evening he
said he did not know where the de-
mand was.
The charter knows of no such office
as acting chief of police said Deputy
Auditor Mathewson yesterday Cut
Ter has good deal of nerve to put in
this claim. We certainly can't allow
it,
At the city attorneys office surprise
was expressed at the temerity of any
official putting in a salary claim for
charter position when merely acting
in the place. There. it was held that
Cutler had simply succeeded in ousting
himself from the post of commissioner
by presuming TO act as chief without
stepping into prerogatives of the ex-
ecutive position.
Cutler had little to say in the mat
ter himself.
Il really didn't notice how much the
demand was for" said ne in reply TO
query. Il suppose, though. for
twelfth of the chiefs annual salary.

You have been advised that the de-
mand has been held up?"
II have had no notification about it
We'll, in view of the legal entangle-
ments of the case and the challenge to
your authority as chief, do you intend
to press this claim?"
II won't answer that"
The salary demand of Jesse B. Cook
for $19S was also received by the audi
tor. Although regular, it was held
until the twenty-sixth for correction.
Cook will receive captains pay up to
that date, but if qualified will be en-
titled to the chiefs pay for the last
five days of the year.

Big Time at Negro cakewalk.

A great crowd of people, most of
them white, assembled at the old
Smith livery stable building on Sec
o1d street Friday night to witness
the negro cake-wa1k. Ex-Mayor Stock
ard and Councilman Bell were select
ed from the crowd as judges, and af-
ter the many figures of the walk"
had been executed by the long line
of couples, their decision vas hat
the cake should be divided between
Will Smith and jamie Moffett and
Wilson and lola Beal, the tw
couples who were the best. The cake
was a wonderful creation in green,
red, white and various other colors.
Supper was served after the contest.

will select a Pecos Valley man for
the place-one, let us hope, who can
be endorsed by Democrats and Re-
publicans alike in his efforts to i'm
prove the administration of Terrific
rial business.
When the Daily Record took its
first step il the endorsement of the
announced policy of MIR. Hagerman,
to give the Territory a clean business
administration, the owners of the
paper were away from home, and had
been away for months, and the editor
of the was not then personally
acquainted with a single member of
the Hagerman family. He had pub
lished some signed letters from J. j.
Hagerman il h campaign against
gambling, but Knew nothing of him
except fby reputation, and less about
the son. The fact that young Hager-
man was from the Pecos Valley per
haps had some influence il moving
US to support his administration. We
have never sought any personal fav-
ors from any of the Hagermans, n
today believe hat there is not more
han one of the family we'll enough
acquainted to recognize the editor of
the Record on the street. Merely So
cial matters adjust themselves, and
temperament, habits, taste and natu-
raj tendencies decide who shall be
our personal friends We considered
it good political policy at the time to
line the paper up against the old
gang of grafters, and did so without
consulting Mr.. Mason, who was in
Atlantic City, New Jersey, recover
ing from a nervous breakdown. When
he first came home he ventured the
opinion that it was a dangerous posi-
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-05-11

ton for a Democratic paper to- take,
but soon became convinced that it
was a wise move.
To say that we foresaw the defeat
of Mr.. Hagerman would be to con-
fess participation in a deliberate
conspiracy. Later we saw hat Mr..
Hagerman would ibe slaughtered by
his own party. But the work had
been commenced and had to go on.
We interested in the principles
involved, rather than the man, and
believed hat permanent good would
come out of the struggle. Hagerman,
the man, was defeated, but not hui
inflated, for he accomplished much
of what he had attempted along the
line of Cleaning the rascals out"
AID securing the passage of good
laws by the last legislature. His poll
cies did not fail, and the principles
which he entered the fight are
yet dead issues.
AS for Judge Bateman's motives in
securing Democratic endorsement of
the Hageema1 policies, it is not with
in our province to conjecture. He
may have been wiser politically than
we. Be that as it may, we are con-
that the honest endorsement
of the reform movement by the Dem

NOT YET A DEAD ISSUE.

For the information of the local
Republican organ it might be well to
call attention to the fact that he
Territorial Democratic convention
W years ago adopted a platform,
written by To- q. S. Bateman, OF
Roswell, endorsing the general policy
of Governor Hagerman in
the rascals out" Democratic papers
generally throughout the Territory
endorsed the platform and were the
strongest supporters of the Hagerman
administration. That this support was
perhaps il the end an injury to Mr..
Hagerman personally, the Record will
not dispute. 1t was no doubt one
of the excuses for his removal. But
he was sacrificed in a good cause,
and the people in both political par
ties W h favor better government
were aroused as never before to the
necessity of dethroning he old gang
of grafters in order to make the Ter
ritory fit for statehood.
The history of the world shows that
reform leaders are usually martyrs
Reformers have ever been burned,
imprisoned, ~beheaded, politically
damned and ostracised; but the ad-
vance continues. Individual N
is an epitaph upon a tombstone more
often than it is an inscription OF
welcome upon a triumphal arch. Jus
tice to the men who make history is
the revised opinion of he next gen
Grafton. True fame is a posthumous
child, born after the Titans of the
conflict are buried and their success
ors enjoy the fruits of victory in
peace.
From the viewpoint of the average
politician, the administration of Her
bert J.. Hagerman was a miserable
failure, in the fact that it resulted in
his removal from office. But the a
rifce was not in vain. The only
charge tina still stands against him
is that he is not a practical poll
tician," not a mixer" or a blatant
demagogue.
President Roosevelt wanted just
such a man as Hagerman when he
appointed him, so that he might adj
vertise Roosevelt, and carefully in
structed him as to the policy to be
pursued. Hagerman took the great
masquetader at his word and pro-
ceeded to make things happen. But
the President, for the first time learn
ing how bad things really were il
New Mexico, became alarmed at his
own audacity, and slaughtered Hag-
erman "to restore harmony" How
ever, the work was we'll begun, the
people were aroused from their leth-
argy, and thousands of Republicans
in the Territory will vote the Demo
cratic ticket this ear to finish the
house-cleaning commenced by the re-
form governor. That Mr.. Hagerman
is a Republican, or that our present
governor is an ex-Democrat, has moth
ing to do with the case. The success
attained by the present administration
would have been impossible without
administration. Today statehood and
the future prosperity of New Mexico
depend upon completing the reform

of a legislature that will not
