A FARMERS TALK TO FARMERS

out of that bright lexicon" into one
 that's a little more cloudy, at times, and legs certain in its definitions. New ertheless I wish there wasn't such a word as ''if'' in, any lexicon, nor such thing in life as seems to be implied by the word. I wish there. wasn't any Castle of If" with it's big Ifs" for jailers and it's little Ifs" for constant companions But there are lots of them. My neighbor isn't the only one
 who lives in that sort of prison. Sim liar "If' houses stand in every country town and along every highway. The worst of it is that they won't keep their '1f' broods at home, but send them out to infect the whole country side. Such places seem to radiate gloom and discomfort, as more cheerful and sweeter tempered Nature radiates sunlight and warmth.
 To the two classes talked about, last week, please add another-the If But" -ers. You know the formula: If things were so and so, I'd win. But people once get fairly settled in any old Castle of If, their daily life and conversation thenceforth becomes a succession of Ifs" and "Buts.'
 Now-what-is the use7 Of course if l were always 25, my old back and legs wouldn't get tired so quickly as they do at 55. If I were II feet high, with four arms and hands, and eyes in the back of my head as well as the front, l could do four times as much work as now-and about eight times as much as any of the doddering dab sters can hire. Just think, however, of the amount of pork, pie and potatoes it would take to keep such a critterl
 Anyway, I'm not 25 and l never shall be again. I'm not able to do four mems work, and I never shall be. We all are what We are, and we're in a world which is what it is. The old brand of pietists used to parrot forth the asser- tion that Whatever is. is right" Which means-if it means anything that everything is just as it should be. Now we all know better than that. Things are not just as they should be and people are not just as they should be. Our whole life is devoted, in so- ciety, in politics, in the church, to try ing to improve things and folks and make 'em better Which would be just blithering idiocy if we really believed that all things and everybody were just as they should be- No, indeed; and plenty of room for betterment, all round. But, while it is our bounden duty to try to smooth up the old world so far as our sandpaper will reach, it is also our bounden duty to make the best of that which we can't change.

TRAIN OF MAIL CARS RUNS
OVER THE GEORGIA a

Augusta, Ca, May 28-Ten trains
started this morning. Nine OF Them
were fired by negroes a number of
white men brought here as strike
breakers and kept under guard for sew
eraI days were avaflable as firemen
and despite the fact that there has
heretofore been opposition to strike
breakers, the opinion is expressed
that there will be less i'll telling arous-
ed by the use OF white men than by
negroes. Many persons declare they
would rather be without mail than to
have It brought by negro firemen and
the question is generally discussed
whether or not the Railroad has decid-
ed to have the race issue threshed out
at once by their action.
Washington, May 28-President
Taft and cabinet discussed the Geor-
gia Railroad strike today and decided
that Chairman Knapp, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission should
go at once TO Atlanta and use his eff
forts to effect an adjustment of the
trouble or at least enforce compliance
with the interstate commerce laws.

If the road-bed were kept in good con-
dition. The work on iPicacho hill, he
.oughly estimated could be done for
$4,000. This is the worst place ON the
route, although bad canyon twenty
miles this side of Picacho hill must
be crossed unless different route is
secured.
All the work that must be done at
this end OF the road lies this side of
the forest reserve. The two depart
ments of the Government and Lincoln
county will take care of the rest of
the road. This county and the terri
tory will be looked to, TO carry ON the
work at this end of the line. Gov

into this matter.

Company and that unless the national
revenue tax on leaf tobacco in the

HEAR PLANS FOR AUTO
ROAD TO ALAMOGoRD0.

There was q fair attendance in re-
sponse to the call of the Commercial
Club to a public meeting at the club
last night. for the purpose OF hearing
the plans that have been laid to Sc
cure a good road to the mountains
west and through Alamogordo. It was
largely the members Of the newly
formed Roswell Auto Club who came
out and President Robert Kellahin, of
the Commercial Club, turned over the
meeting to President e. A. Cahoon. of
the Automobile Club, and the latter
presided throughout the delfbera-
tions, which consisted largely in lis
tening to the statement Of what had
been done to secure the improvement
and discussion of how to proceed to
complete it.
Capt. ]. L. Donovan Of the office Of
Public roads OF Washington, D. c.,
addressed the meeting and stated that
all necessary arran ngements had been
made to secure appropriations from
the Indian and Forest Reserve De-
partments that will carry the road
through the Indian reservation and
forest reserve. Lincoln county, he
said would do it's part on the road.
He discussed the different routes, also
and preferred the route over the big
hill this side Of Picacho. The worst
objection to this road is. that 1t is
washed out every time 1t rains. This
could be avoided by ditching the high
side of the road and running culverts
across it at intervals Of fifty feet.
The grade of the hill Is not over six
per cent at any place and would not
interfere with the ascent Of an auto
