Of the Corps of Cadets received tel
egram Saturday from the Adjutant
General U. s. Army, requesting him

something to be proud OF and it will
give the school q standing throughout

This Is the greatest possible distinc-

The New Mexico Military Institute.
although one of the youngest schools
to which arrny officers are detailed,
was last year. considered for place
among the distinguished list. It was
frankly stated by army officers that
1t was rated as the sixth military
school in the United States. Owing
to the fact that the school was still
young. and had but few permanent
buildings, IL was not finally rated as a
distinguished institution. This year
the school won its distinction entirely
on its merit. Not the slightest politi-
cal pull or pressure was brought to
bear on the War Department. Cata-
louges. Broncos and other publica-
tions of the School were sent in for in
spection. The army officer, Captain
Peter c. Harris, who inspected the
School on April 18th. openly stated
that 1t had one of the best drilled bat
talions he had seen in the United
States. The size Of the school how

ARNOLD RETRACTs PART
OF FORAKER AFFIDAVIT

! WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-Qualifying in
several particulars his affidavit, which
played such conspicuous part in the
famous attack in the senate Of Senator
Foraker on the administrations course
in regard to the Brownsville affair. For
mer Sheriff E. c. Arnold, of Monroe, Ga.
today appeared as a witness before the
military court OF inquiry investigating the
affair.
His afidavit was offered by Senator
Foraker In rebuttal to the afidaYits OF
H E. Brown and William Lawson to the
effect that Boyd Conyers. one of the sol
diers discharged as result of the shoot
ing up of Brownsville, had confessed his
connection with the affair.
In that document Arnold said il would
have been impossible for Lawson and
Conyers to have taken drink under a
certain porch in the heart Of Monroe. as
Lawson claimed to have done on tho
day that Conyers talked to him about
the Brownsville incident. i
Today Arnold said that. while there
was an ordinance and a state law against
drinking in public in Monroe, it would
have been passible to have taken a drink
on the street without being arrested.
He said further that when he denounc-
ed Browns statement of a confession as
'.the most shameful perversion of what
did take place." he, understood. Brown
to have claimed that he was relating
what Conyers had said in the presence
of Brown and himself.
The former sheriff admitted to the
court that he once said to Conyers that
there was great deal of money in the
case and that If Conyers would confess TO
him he would take care of him. He
said Brown was not responsible for this
statement, which he acknowledged might
be interpreted as an offer of money but
was not so intended
Capt. C. R. Rowland, recorder of tho
court, objected to Arnold's affidavits be-
ing presented in testimony, asserting
that the court should be kept clear Of
political issues"
II was not introduced.

ATLANTA IS FAVORED
As COLLEGE LOCATION
President Barrett, of Farmers
Union, Willing to Bring COL
Iege for Farmers Here

1t is practically up to the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce whether or not
the great agricultural college of the
National Farmers Union is established
in the vicinity of this city or not.
President Charles S. barrett, OF the
National association, was in .tt1Anta
for few hours on Friday morning,
and although he was reticent regarding
the location or the college, the gist or
his remarks was to the effect that il
the city of Atlanta is willing 10 com
tribute toward the institution in a sat-
isfactory manner, it Will be located
here.
1T will be recalled that The Journal
published an exclusive article some
weeks ago to the effect that Atlanta
STOOD strong chance of securing the
college. At that time II was stated
that the idea suggested by president
Barrett, at the FARMERS Union conven-
tion In Macon, regarding the establish
ment OF a college for the teaching of
scientific methods in farming, had been
met with enthusiasm by the farmers of
the entire country

In speaking of the matter Friday
morning President Barrett said: We
have things we'll in hand, and the COL
lege is a certainty. Money is, of course,
wanted but we will raise it all right
Congress has granted an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for the college, and we
can get more from the government. A
committee is going to Washington
within a few days to confer with the
agricultural department, and we have
the ardent support of4Secretary Wilson
for the plan. .t-
II cannot tell you anything regard
ing the location of the college yet, but
1 am free to say that Atlanta stands
a good chance to secure it.
THE idea is to establish an institu-
ton where farmers and farmers sons
will be trained to work together, in an
Intelligent and harmonious manner, TO
secure the very best results from their
labors, In the most approved and scien-
ufic manner.

AMERICANS KIND AND
KEEN, LEADER SAYS

LONDON, Dec. 25.-Mrs. Pankhurst,
the suffragette leader, summing up the
results of her visit to America with some
of the impressions she gained there
writes:
II found the Americans. as rule, kind
and keen. Their women have not taken
part in political affairs, but American
women are more interested in social and
Industrial conditions than are women of
the same standing here. And American
women seem to realize the Importance
of political power in order TO carry out
social reforms. So, under the surface,
there is a great woman's movement here.
Young women leaving their splendid col
leges, realize that despite all that is
said Of her advantages. the American
woman is not so we'll of.
Putting il in few words the actual
feeling in America hitherto was that the
American suffrange movement was a fad,
OF a sort. American women thought
woman suffrage meant nothing more than
the power to cast vote. Now they are
beginning to connect it's importance with
all the reforms for which they are work.
