RATHER BE RIGHT
THAN GOVERNOR

The accomplished writer, Mr.. Robin
son, editor of the Roswell Tribune, de
elined the appointment of governor vi
New Mexico on the ground that he
''woulo rather work On u newspaper
than " DC president.
This declaration Is entirely in keep.
ing with MIR. Robinson 5 reputation Tor
deyoting his profession and does credit
to his head and his heart. IL Is a
compliment to n profession full OF
pleasure 1t is true aud ome honors, but
one taat leads along "a stony path not
strewn with as many roses as 1t Is
with thorns, and Il that does not gilt
ter with gold. The ROSTERS upon the
tripod everywhere will appreciate Mr..
Robinson compliment to their work.
The Times does not wish to disparage
Mr.. Robinson s loyalty to his work nor
question the entire sincerity of his rea
sons for declining the protfered honor,
but those VINO are familiar with the
trials that beset the governor Of New
Mexico and have proftted by the eI'
periences of those who have held the
place in recent years will be inclined
TO credit Mr.. Robinson with the pos.
session Of no small amount of good
sense in waving aside the job.
The fractional differences, the politi.
eel and personal feuds, the conflicts or
interests and ambitions that are divid
ing the people Of New Mexico do not
offer any allurement to the man whose
ambition 1t would be to make a cred
table record while the certain prospect
Of attacks against his character and his
Official acts on every side are enough
TO deter the man who esteems has repu'
tation az worth while from untaking
the apparently hopeless task of bring
ing about peace and co-operation.-El

SOME MAGNITUDE OF cIRcULA

The editor Of a small paper in Texas
wrote to an eastern house soliciting an
advertisement. The management, In
answering the communication, wanted
to know where his paper circulated, as
they had never heard of 1t before
whereupon the Texas editor wrote them
that his paper circulated in the Unit
cd States, England, Peru, and Africa,
and II was all he could do TO keep 1t
from going to bellies.

PASSED. Away.

Passed Away.
James w. Deal died at his late
home in st John, on Monday
May 3rd, 1909 age n years.
The deceased had been in de-
clining health for some time,
and while every effort that his
family and friends could make
to stay the disease and restore
the loved one to health, failed,
and death claimed the victory.
The deceased was born in
Indiana, where he grew to man
hood, and married, and with
his wife, who was Miss Hannah
Case, came to this, then new
country, where they made their
home and became the parents
of ten children, as follows
Tim, now in Washington; j. j;
Harry; Mrs. w. M. Jones; Mrs.
Ellis Jones; Mrs. Acrea; Isaac,
deceased; Mrs. Theodore Jones,
of Oklahoma; and Mrs. Perry
Wood, of Nebraska. The moth
er died some years since, and
in time the deceased married
Miss Samantha Branson, sister
of the late Bates Branson, who
survives him.
The deceased was a man of
extensive acquaintance, much
respected by all who knew him.
The funeral was held at his
late home, attended by a large
number of relatives and friends
and his body laid to rest in Oak
Cemetery, in St. John, there to
await the resurrection Of the
sleeping dead.
These numerous deaths re-
mind US that the old and first
settlers of the Boyer Valley are
fast passing away and soon a
rev generation will possess the
land of our fathers.
