Noon VIII be ECllDsed Tonight.

The night owls may witness a
beautiful incident tonight by
keeping their orbs turned to-
ward the moon after midnight,
when a total eclipse will occur.
The moon will enter the shadow
at 12;11 a. m. The total eclipse
will begin at 1:13 and end at
2:35. 1t will not be entirely out
of the shadow until 1888 O'Clock.
This is one Of the longes eclipses
possible, as in this case the moon
passes through the center Of the
earth's shadow in st e a d of
through the side of it. The first
shadow that will show on the
moon is the first yelling of the
oenumbre, which will continue
about a half hour before the dark
shadow comes in contact,

iiiqh School Students Parade

On Wednesday afternoon the
pupils Of the Estancia High
School gave very creditable
parade in which King Phillip and
a band of his Indians, Daniel
Boone with his sharpshooters,
the early Dutch settlers of New
York, Betsy Ross---the mother
of the Stars and Stripes, and Old
Black Joe, accompanied by his
wife, Nancy, took part. The
parade was arranged for the
purpose of advertising the
Thanksgiving Supper which
was given by the students
on Thursday evening, for the
purpose of raising funds for a
High School Library.
Thei teaching Of subjects in
other ways than merely studying
the text books, while novel to
some, is commendable on the
part of the teachers, and in
creases the interest Of the stu
dents.

crossing nicely and too much.

1t is high time the Christian

Under god the law is our only
sovereign. Dethrone law and an

the saloon is doing making
criminals all the time. Our peo-

Perkins Lecture

Rev. H. NJ. Perkins, represn-
tative Of the National Tenn
perance Committee of til e
Pre- S b byterian Church, ad-
dressed a fair sized audience at
the NJ. E. Church last Sunday
night, his talk being along the
line Of Temperance. We have
culled the following thoughts
from his address for the benefit
of those who could not attend:
Temperance in it's broadest
sense includes much -Temerance
in all things at all times, In
speech, action, judgement Of
others, dress, eating, drinking
and 2'l the affairs Of life, In
the mi S.i-tad sense, it pre-
tains solely to the use and abuse,
effects, desirability and monde
STABILITY of intoxicating liquors.
THE liquor question has been
a broad question, having many
sides, among which may be
noted the moral Or ethical, mental
or physical, monetary or finan-
cial and the civil Or political. All
of these have come. to be settled
questions except the last, which
along remains.
Morally, the liquor traffic has
been the greatest obstacle the
Church has had to overcome for
centuries past.
'Ethically, the use of intoxi-
cants has been and is the source
of a hundredfold more crime
than any other one cause. This
is proven daily in numerous
ways, The columns of the daily
press is conclusive proof.
The use of intoXicants is the
most successful foe of man S
we'll being. 1t is the
unrivalled foolmaker of the
world,
1T is the most expensive So
called luxury shown by Stats
tics that more money is spent
for liquor every year than for
bread and brcadstuffs. 1t furn-
ishes the greater part of the eX-
pense Of our courts, jails, peni-
tentiaries. Proof Of this is also
found in the daily press,
Dealers say that our schools
VIII suffer, II the licenses are cut
off. This is the greatest false
hood of the age. Whenever the
licenses have been cut off, the
schools, the grocers, the mer-
chants, the families themselves
are more prosperous.
1t has proven itself the most
expensive Of all evils.
The principle Of the thing is
already settled. It is now time
to fight the thing itself. Advo-
eating temperance doesn't hurt

day. Takes Office in
March


William Joseph Mills, who fo
almost twelve years has beer
chief justice Of the Territory o
New Mexico, was on Wednesday
named as Governor Of New Mex
leo to succeed George Curry
whose RESIGNATION was an
nounced a few days ago.
On Tuesday evening General
C. T. Easley, who had just ar
rived from Santa Fe, stated that
the latest report in the Capital
City was that the choice lay be
tween Chief Justice Mills, and
Hon. Edward A. Mann, late as
sociale Justice. The choice Of
Justice Mills was decided upon
at a conference on Wednesday
morning between President Taft,
Postmaster General Hitchcock
and National Committeeman
Luna. A message was at once
wired Justice Mills, to which he
Immediately wired his accept
tance.
The new Governor is a Missis-
sipian by birth, having moved to
Connecticut with his mother dur
ing his boyhood, where he spent
the greater part Of his life
before coming to New Mex
leo. He was d student at Yale
at the same time as was Presi-
dent Taft, graduating the year
before the President President
Mckinley appointed him chief
Justice Of the Territory, his com
mission being dated 81, 90. PreSl-
dent II o5evelt twice re appointed
hm to the same position, MS
present term expiring January
30, 1910.
That Mr.. Mills is well ac-
quainted with conditions as they
exist throughout the territory
cannot he gainsaid, and the gen
eraI opinion is that he will give
the people a business administra-
ton.

claiming to know that the ap-
pointment is not exceedingly
