A LAWYER was convicted in
New York not long ago for cor
ruptly impeding the administration
of justice. His conviction was a
reminder that a lawyer is as much
a minister of justice as is the judge
on the bench. When he seeks to
delay or defeat the operation of the
law, he is as really traitor as
though he had fired on the flag.

move on the chess hoard of pros
perity. This time it is the signing
of contract for city water works
with pressure that will give fire
protection. This takes Cortez out
Of the country village class and
places her in position to become
q city. 1t is now up to Dolores to
make similar move if she wishes
to keep up with the procession.
Mancos has a water system and
Cortez is to have one before long
then both of these towns will be in
the race to become cities, and now
Is the time for Dolores to say
whether she will enter this race or
whether she will choose to remain
a village. She has many natural
advantages that will do much to-
ward boosting her to the front if
she should enter. In the first place
she could have the best water and
the best water system on earth for
a nominal expenditure of money,
and with it an electric light plant
which would more than pay the
interest on the bonds and the rum
ming expenses Of the plant. Our
fine groves and sheltered location
makes this the ideal place for a
home. We have an abundance Of
rock, sand, gravel and lumber close
At hand for building purposes. We
have fine school facilities, and fra
ternal and church organizations.
The fact is that all we need to start
us in the very van of the race is a
WATER SYSTEM. Shall we
have itl Tie town purchased a
water right last spring and some
time before that a filing was made
for city purposes. There is plenty
Of water available as former sur
vey and estimate showed that the
very best water and plenty of it
could beseeured from the underflow
Of thea Dolores river. The town is
enjoying q steady growth. Dwell
ings are going up on every hand.
business places are building and
improving, the contract for exten-
sive improvements on the school
grounds has been let. a new cement
block church will be erected in the
near future. Strangers are looking
the town over. while people in the
East are waiting for information re-
garding it. A franchise was grant
ed Mr.. Hopper for putting in a
lighting system some time ago but,
luckily for the town, thst gentle
man has let the time for accepting
transpire and the town is now at
liberty to put in its own system.
We believe that large majority
of the property owners are in favor
of a frst-class water system and
lighting plant to be erected and
operated by the town. Onr citi-
zens are for continuance of pros
perity and a larger and better Do
lores and the only way these can
be secured is by having modern
conveniences and Improvements.
1t takes some thought and work to
make city. prairie dog can make
a town. Do we want Dolores to
become city or are we content to
have her remain town?

HUSBAND SILENT FOUR YEARS
UNABLE TO LOOSEN TONGUE,
WIFE SEEKS DIVORCE.
Put Salt in His Collected Him
Burned Soup-He Moved Lips
Once But Changed Mind.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Slence' A
sphinxlike, wooden. impenetrable silence.
which has been broken by the utterance
of hardly a single word In the four years
since he mumbled the responses at his
wedding is the reason Frank J. Beck
man of Asbury Park is being sued by
Mrs. Lizzie Beekman for divorce.
For four years Mrs. Beekman has tried
by every artifce known to woman to
make her husband talk, but in her tesu-
mony before Referee Charles j. Parker
Yesterday she admitted that she had
failed At first she squeezed his hand
and chucked him under the chin, but
the only response she got was stony
stare.
The Beekmans were married In 1895
att o'clock in the morning. At the wed
ding breakfast Beekman, after murmur-
ing what was taken for an apology hur
red off to work. When he came back
in the evening his bride met him at the
door with an affectionate smile. Beck
man returned the smile and hurried INTO
the huse. where he sat down MIS- Beck
man started the conversation with re-
mark about the weather. From this she
led I'D to a question of what he would
like for dinner. but she got no answer
to any of her observations.
Her Tears Had No Effect.
At last she wept. but even the tears
failed to melt her husbands silence or
to abate the stony stare.
Why Beekman has not spoken is q
mystery to every one in Asbury Park.
A dozen neighbors testified that they
had not heard him utter more than
curt ives" or mo" in the last ten years.
Becoming desperate at the silence
which prevailed her home. Mrs. Beck
has much
what her husband would say when he
finally did consent to open his mouth.
She tried burning the soup. Still Beck
man was silent. She put salt in his
coffee but he drank it without word.
How Beekman managed his courtshlp
is a mystery I'm Asbury Park although
Mrs. Beekman asserts that although lie
was not loquacious it did not seem TO
give him pain to speak. Mrs. Beekman
may have felt then that she was able
to do al, the talking for the pair. but
after her marriage she found little salts
faction in talking to man who refused
10 answer. She couldn' even quarrel with
him. He refused to express any opinion
about her clothes or hats.
He Just Shook His Head.
All the time he spent in the house he
sat and stared straight in front OF him.
When an important matter came up for
consideration he would sometimes con-
descend to shake his head and indicate
his opinion i'm this way. Once-it was
q red letter day for Mrs. Beekman-he
moved his lips as If about to say some
thing. but evidently changing his mind
closed his lips again.
Not even the landlord could get a word
out of Mr. Beekman when he came to
collect the rent.
Still adhering to his policy of silence,
Reekman interposed answer to his
wifes suit for divorce. and the referee
will recommend that Mrs. Beekmau be
given divorce.

REPUBLICANS GRAFT
IS AIRED IN COURT
Judge Armstrong Rules Against
the County Attorney on
One Point.

The county commissioners on Wednes-
day won the second round OF the legal
battle in which County Attorney JOB
Lyon in behalf OF the county. is suing
the commissioners personally TO compel
them To refund 10 the county the SUM
OF s6727.6O which il is alleged they un-
lawfully paid to tbs Intcr-M Mountain Re-
publican. the party organ, for publish
Ing the delinquent tax list last year; Inc
matter came up yesterday heIore Judge
Armstrong on n motion of Mr.. Lyon 10
strike out a large portion of the answer
OF the defendants, and the court denied
the motion.
In their answer the commissioners
claimed that the Job was awarded to
the Republican on contract, and us
they had authority In law 10 make the
contract the county was compelled to
pay for the. publication, They also set
up an equitable defense in the way OF
an estoppel 10 the effect that the county
had received the benefit derived from
the publication In that il had collected
% cents from each delinquent for the ad-
vertising and had kept it, the total
amount collected In taxes and costs
amounting to $lS0,000.
The second portion Of the answer was
objected TO by County Attorney Lyon;
who moved that ii be stricken out, and
the arguments were heard on that point
yesterday The county attorney argued
that II made no difference in this action
amount specified or not; that oven though
it did not collect one cent from delin-
quents, II the commissioners had the
authority to make the contract, AS they
claim they did In their answer. then
they were liable for the bill Of The Re
publican. The only question involved In
this case. nc contended. Is whether or
not the commissioners had the legal right
TO let the contract alleged, and hence
the defense of cstoppel is not proper
one and should be stricken out
Colonel Hiram e. Booth and Attor-
ney y. i. Stewart argued the matter for
the commissioners. and contcnded that
the statute permitted the defendants to
plead as many defenses in law equity
as they chose Judge Armstrong ruled
with them and denied the motion 10 strike
out County Attorney Lyon Will make
another attempt TO have the Objectionable
part OF tine answer eliminated by filing
a demurrer to the answer. He believes
that the matter can be properly reached
by demurrer and VIII take that course
within "A few daPs.
