L,lnCOIn'S Birthday

On last Friday the Estancia
schools rendered a program suit
| able to the commemoration of the
day Lincoln S Birthday and Flag
Day. The exercises were held in
Room 2, the pupils and visitors
filling the room. The program
which consisted of quite num-
Der of recitations, songs, etc.,
was especially well rendered, the
participants accrediting themsel-
veswell. The large increase in the
number Of visitors over thai of q
year ago, shows that the parents
are taking more INTEREST," in school
work, greatly gratifying the
teachers. The parents generally,
who have visited the school, are
we'll pleased with the grade of
work being done, and with both
teachers and pupils, are anxiously
awaiting the completion Of the
new building, where better ac-
comodations may be provided,
and consequently more effective
work accomplished.

New Mexico viii Send Delegate

Mexico recognizes the value
of farming by the scientific con-
seryation process, better known
as dry farming, 2 and is going
to send a delegate to the Dry
Farming congress at Cheyenne
this month to report everything
that goes on there, for the benefit
of the farmers in the arid section
of that republic.
Dry farming means the cult
vation Of land in a scientific man.
ner so as to get the best results
from the least amount of rainfall,
snd it has been demonstrated in
this section of the country that
there is an ample supply Of rain
fall for all needs. The farmers,
by scientific cultivation, instead
Of wasting the moisture, conserve
it, keep it at the roots of the
plants, and thus get remarkable
results from soil which a few
years ago was considered worth
less.
While an empire is to be re-
claimed in the vicinity Of El Paso
by irrigation, there is more than
an empire on the mesas around
the city-west along the S. p;
east on the T. & P. and G. H.;
north along the Southwestern;
in fact in all directions = that can
never be irrigated, and dry
farming is going to be the only
method by which it can be re-
claimed.
There is enough rainfall to
grow the crops if il be conserved
properly, and farmers who know
how to do this or who can be
taught how, must be brought in
to settle up the country. Free
homes are offered them through
out New Mexico and at small
cost in west Texas, and FL Paso
should encourage them to come
and take them UP.
Dry farming" is not an ex-
pertinent, but a proved success.
It is the only way millions OF
acres in this section will ever be
reclaimed, and we should get to
work studying its operations and
urging people who know how to
farm OF are willing to learn,
with light moisture, to come and
settle on it. Ell Paso Herald

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-01-27
How the United States Senate is Ruled.
Senator La Toilette Describes the System Of Bossis and
Gives List of the Bosses.

Legislation in the United States
senate is controlled by committees.
The appointment of the committees
is controlled by a party caucus.
The caucus is called at the begin
ming of each congress to organize for
control.
The caucus is composed of few
bosses, few Independents, and many
towards and followers. The progress
of the bosses is arranged in advance.
1t goes through without d hitch. A
boss is made chairman, and authOriz-
ed to announce a "committee on COM
mittees.n The other members of this
committee are the more ambitious
towards and followers who hope
sometime to be senate bosses. They
do the bidding Of the chairman and
the bosses in making the committee
assignments.
In the United States senate the ac'
ton of this ''committee on committees
| is conclusive.
The business of the caucus is quick
| ly finished. 1t is all trans acted in less
than five minutes. 1t practically
settles the fate of all legislation in the
senate for two years-the full life Of
an entire congress.
When the committees are annOnnc
ed, the bosses are found upon the com
mittees which control appropriations
finance, transportation, tariff, com
merce, foreign relations, military al
fairs, naval affairs-and they have
not overlooked the judiciary commit
tee, nor the committee on rules.
Less than dozen bosses dominate
legislation in the United States senate
