4 local hotel man was in no an.
gelic mood one morning this week
when a News man butted into the
lobby and found the air tainted
with sulphur. The proprietor had
an empty suit case open before
him and was ustering phrases
which made the porter quake and
shocked the cub. Seeing the
anxious look on the faces OF those
around, he explained that he had
been 'stung." 4 well dressed
man from Oklahoma had done it.
He was out OF funds ne had ex-
planned, but would get a check
this week. He carried a heavy
suit case and so was given a room.
He occupied II three days and
then flew the coop. The porter
went up to get the suit case and
after the lock was broken it was
found TO contain only a package ot
old newspapers. Guests had been
turned away and the suit case was
only worth a halt a nights lodging.

Ii you cant boost, don't ham.
mer. Nearly any enterprise has a
reasonable chance to succeed il the
bumpers are not too industrious.
Tucumcari is a growing city and
as Developments 20 we must look
TO public improvements. IL costs
money, but after all, it costs so
little OF the amount that many en-
terprises have made in Tucumcari
that 1t is insignificant. Cement
sidewalks and crossings, graded
streets, fire department, sanitation,
sewerage, waterworks, phones and
lights, schools and churches are
as necessary as sunshine and air,
we simply must have them. There
are many men in Tucumcari who
have made most that they possess
right here and ii they are willing
to spend some OF it to make life
more comfortable for the people
who are building homes and help
ing TO improve the country where
is the objectionI Clovis, our
neighbor over in the Roosevelt
county, which is soon to be the
county seat OF the new common
wealth OF Curry county, has this
month voted and sold sI25,ooo
worth OF bonds Tor public improve
ments, among them mentioned,
sewerage and lights; and it does
seem that Tucumcari which is
double the size OF Clovis and much
wealthier in assessable property
could add to the grea. work we
have already done without putting
the city in debt a dollar, vote
bonds to thoroughly equip a fire
department ana start a sewerage
system, build a city hall etc. We
are hazzarding both life and prop
erty so long as we continue with
out them, and il is always too late
to lock the stable after the horse
is stolen. Let's get about these
things Immediately. Life may not
be prolonged in order that these
advantages will be forced upon US,
and IL we do o do i, posterity
will call us old iogies. II will

Willis Van Devanter, United
States Judge OF the eight circuit,
to accept this honor.
The president.elect's decision
to appoint the distinguished Judge
OF the Eighth circuit is ascribed
to the growing politicalimportance
OF the West. This view is con-
trmed BY his determination to

Acting Coverpor Nathan Ial

Acting Governor Nathan Jaha
has this week received a telegram
from Governor Curry at Washing
ton stating that the prospects Tor
the statehood bill to pass the sen.
ate before the end OF the session
are growing brighter. 1t is be-
lieved that about. eighty senators
are in favor OF the bill. The acts
OF Messrs. Beveridge and Alldrich
in opposing the admission OF New
Mexico are most abominahle and
they should be hereafter looked
upon as political hyenas by the
inhabitants OF all New Mexico.
Their reasons are self constituted
and presumptive and should have
no more influence in opposition to
this measure than Geronimo's de.
| sertion OF the church had on the
purity and prevalence OF the Christ
ian religion. New Mexico has
been the victim OF intrigue and
political m~orbositv long enough,
and the NEws feels that Bernard
5. Rody's statement when he was
delegate to congress, that il II
wern't Tor the penalty OF the Law
he would assassinate Beveridge,
was in a degree j~ustihable.

hood bill has gone owe to the next

statehood committee which has

stirs the blood OF every patriotic
New Mexican. We are entitled TO
statehood, and we have proclaimed
ten thousand reasons why we are
entitled 10 it. We have the wealth,
and no truthful man al gainsay
that we have the citizenship. We
should no longer suffer the disad-
vantages and Inconsistencies OF a
dependency; we merit every pre-

union that we love, and have given

Tucumcari has always been the
most enterprising town OF north.
EAST New Mexico; first in schools,
churches, the legal profession and
in business. This year we are
going to forge ahead to the extent
that a resident who happens to he
away tor a few months won't know
the town when he returns. The
News expects to see the merchant
who did a $1,000 a day average OF
business last year double il this.
The population OF the city has
every prospect OF doubling, or
even trebling IN the next twelve
months. There is not a locality
in the entire southwest where there
are better prospects tor the home
seeker and investor. The mount
aims are covered with heavy SHOWS
and the season TOR good crops is
reasonably assured. The News

years, and we are not afraid OF the
prophecy. Watch W. and later
