WITH THINKERS

Sir Horace Plunket.-. The failure of

Farmers calling does not lend itself To
associative adtion, He lives apart; most
of his time is spent in the open air; and
In the evening of the working day physi-
cal reposc in more consenia than mental
excitement. Domesticity is preferred TO
social activity. Second the farmer is
everywhere the most conservative and
individulastic OF human beings. He dis
likes changes of methods; he venerates
the traditions which have come down to
him from his fathers father. He does
not wish to interfere with any body else's
business and he is fxedly determined that
no one else shall pry into or interfere
with his. Third, the kind of combination
other callings does not meet the require
ments OF the farmers industry.
o. ID. Hill. The trouble with the
country to-day is that the congress of the
United States has got too far away from
the people, and the government that was
once a government of the people, for the
people and by the people has become a
government of the trust, for the trust and
by the trust. A conspiracy is now form
ing and unless we prevent it the present
congress will destroy 10000, 900 in
sreenbacks and 5000, 1000, 900 in silver,
which is your money and my money
which is, in fact, the money of the
people, and which is the only money that
comes direct from the government to the
people without bearing the burden OF in

case is the cause OF the loss of life and
property in the great and small tragedies

A. l.. Camp. From the fact that the
farmer was and ever will be more or less
short sighted and always needs the money
we, cannot blame him so very much for
selling something he would otherwise
throw away and he knows further that
everything souGes him by palmine off
shoddy clothes, impure food, fighting
squirrel whskey, and then sticks on
protective tariff that adds forty per cent
10 every thing he buys. AS he is short
sighted he cheerfully falls in line at each
election and votes vigorously for all these
blessings that he gets. Yet when he
reads by the light Of the rotten kerosene
a eulosy on the free nd independent
farm life he gets to feeling almost as
chesty as pouter pigeon and for the
time being acts quite haushtily.

There is nothing standing still
in Tucumcari. Even the Tucum.

get acquainted with the men who
pay in Quay county. They buy
the News and pay Tor il, Just like
they buy a bill OF goods from a
merchant and pay him, They buy
the News not to accommodate the
Tucumcari Printing Company nor
to please the editor, but because i,

little below par when it became
necessary tor the sheriff to shoot a
man in protection OF his own lite,

iniuriated drunk who wanted to

IL was not necessary 10 kill the
would be bad man, and the officer
who kept his wits only winged him,
as it were, TO stop his mad rush.
Sheriff Ward used greater Judgment
in the DISPOSITION OF this arrav
than many officers would. In
most instances it would have been
a straight funeral. Both the coun-

having officials who are the enemies
OF crime and who will enforce the
