BOUNDARY Controversy
MAY NOT DELAY GAME
Congress viii Recognize the l03d
Meridian as Boundary
ANOTHER SURVEY
MAY BE MADE
Washington. D. G.. Dec. 10.

Washington, ID. c.. Dec. rs.
There is ps far a. can be- seen
at this time no possibility that
the dispute in congress over the
Texas New Mexico boundary as
established by the constitution
of New Mexico will delay or
hinder the approval Of the consti
tution by congress and the presi-
dent.
In fact, no real controversy ex-
lists. The resolution introduced
in the senate by Mr.. Culberson
of Texas provides for an appro-
priation of S20, 900 for a resurvey
and remarking of the eastern
boundary of New Mexico by a
boundary commission on which
Texas and the United States but
not New Mexico are to be repre-
sented. This resolution declares
the 103rd meridian to be the true
boundary and that is the same
line which the constitution of
New Mexico declares to be the
boundary, the matter is only a
question of fixing the true meridi-
an line. The question thatremains
is only as to what survey of the
line shall be accepted, the al
legged faulty and incomplete one
OF Clark, or one made with mod
ern instruments by an Ito date
surveyor. 1t is pointed out in re-
gard to the dispute that New
Mexico has no right or authority
to cede to Texas some 900 600
acres of government land and
that therefore the constitutional
convention could do naught else
but establish the boundaries of
New Mexico as they are defined
in the organic act. The moment
any United States public lands
are ceded to Texas, they cease to
be public lands and become the
property of the state of Texas.
The United States at one time
paid $40, 600, 900 to Texas for its
ceding all lands to the United
States between the 1O3rd meri-
dian to the Rio Grande and New
Mexico is absolutely without
power, even if it were a state, to
cede those lands or any portion
of them back to Texas.-Albu-

EXCELLENT POLICY OF
DEMOCRATIC PAPER
Democratic Semi-Weekly Sails
From Albuquerque
VETERAN JOURNALIST
Is AT THE HELM

The editor Of the New Mexico
State Democrat has been too
long aud too intimately acquaint-
ed with the newspaper world 10
neglect or even overlook the an.
cient and reasonable demand
that at the launching Of a new
candidate for public favor, there
shall he clearly and candidly
stated what the new paper stands
for and what principles it will
advocate or oppose.
In the paper, of which this is
the initial issue, all classes of
people and propositions, all mat
ters political, financial or social,
will receive such attention and
consideration, in the way Of al
lotment of space in its columns,
as the Importance of the interests
involved may seem to demand.
1t is to be understood, however,
that it will not devote columns
of space to fads, fanatical fan
cies, untried theories, or the
dreams of enthusiasts. The prin-
ciples of all political, social and
economic affairs are too we'll
known and too well established to
allow of the squandering of time
or talent on matters which, if
true, cancot be new, or if new,
cannot be true.
The democracy of the editor of
the New Mexico State Democrat
is CT standard quality-the brand
which bears the stamp and super
scription of Thomas jefferson and
Andrew Jackson-and by it he
will abide in the utterances of
the paper; but always does he
reserve the privilege of opposing
any unfit candidate for office,
should his party be ST. unfortun-
ate as to make such selection.
As statehood is not party is
sue, both parties having labored
for it for half century, and as
the long deferred blessing is now
within the grasp of the people of
the territory, the New Mexico
State Democrat shall advocate,
to the utmost of its ability, the
adoption of the constitution for
mulated by our constitutional
convention; and in attestation
of this fact we have, as it were,
nailed our flag to the masthead,
by the incorporation of the word
state" in the papers baptismal
name.-New Mexico State Demo-
crat.

BACK 70 THE FARM"
MOVEMENT DISCUSSED
Saturday Evening Post Points out
Reasons Of Failures
NOT EVERY NAN FITS
TN ON A FARM

"A City-Bred farmer furnishes
this compendium Of his exper-
fence: owed small but
fairly profitable city merchan-
dising business sold it and
bought farm within q mile Of
farms that paid we'll; have work.
ell like horse tive years: so has
my wife; never made a profit
any wear; farm now encumbered
for about all it is worth: would
like a job as clerk in a city store,
but am too old; besides, have
contracted rheumatism" ="
What he bought was really a
gold brick. To other city-bred
men whose thoughts turn to the
land we say: you can lose your
money as etfectuaIIy buying land
as you can buying oil stock: in
vestigate; see that the land-not
land a mile away but the actual
piece you are buying-is suita bic
to the kind of farming you have
ih mind. Understand that in
buying a farm you are buying a
job. The money you pay for the
title-deed gives you an opportu-
nifty to apply your labor of hand
and head to the soil. The more
intelligent and efficient the lab
or, the more the soil will re-
spond. To unintelligent, ineffi-
cient labor the best soil will
yield little. You may apply
seven thought-power and three
hand-power, or seven hand pow
er and three thOught-power: hut
you must put ten into the land
to get ten out Of it. You cannot
market your fruit from a photo
graph.
We could give other and more
cheerful experiences of city bred
farmers, aud we are very far
from wishing to discourage any
man from turning back to the
land; but go with your eyes
open. Harvest no more comprises
the life of a farmer than payday
comprises the life of bill-clerk
or ironmoulder. The farmers
work is more healthful, more
free, more stimulating. His OPP
portunities are greater because
his pay depends more directly on
his own effort; but, if he sue
ceeds, he works.-Saturday Ev-
ening Post.

Miller Succeeds Sullivan as Ter
ritoriaI Engineer

O. ID. Miller, assistant engi-
neer, has been appointed terri
torial engineer, succeeding Yer
non l.. Sullivan. Mr.. Sullivan
has accepted service with the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient
Railroad, at a salary much larger
than the territory was paying.
He will enter his new field of
work on the first of January.
1t appears to be the universal
belief that Mr. Miller is a worthy
successor. As assistant engineer,
he has became acquainted with
conditions in New Mexico, and
he is familiar with the routine
work and duties, both of the Of
flee and the field.

Because Eugene Shoemaker

fat and indOlent his allowance
from the estate of his father,
George Labar, has been increas-
ed from $4,000 to $1,000 q year.
Eugene's mother declares that
the boy should be allowed $4,000
a year, but she admits that he
may be able to struggle along on
$1,000.
The court order allowing the
increase is directed to the Scran-
ton Trust Company, executor Of

In her petition Mrs. Labar de-
clares that Eugene is a very

MARKET LETTER.
Letter From our Regular Correspond.
emit at Kansas City.

Kansas City Stock Yard, April
5. 1910.-Buyers dominated the cat
tie market last week up to Wednes-
day and succeeded in reducing the
prices 20 to 80 cents. The Dear cam
paign was run on the basis of liberal
cattle receipts, but it became evident
Thursday hat the total for the
week would fall short of any recent
week, and some firmness was in
jected into the situation the last days
of the week, leaving it in good shape
for the opening this week. Predic-
tons of meagre receipts at the mar
kets today were verified, the supply
here 1000 head, and moderate else
where. A good many contract cattle
bought for delivery April first came
in last week, but this influence is
absent today, and prospects favor
light receipts balance of this week.
Nobody believed the market vas
very badly hurt last week at any
time, and it was always i'll good
position for a rapid recovery. The
slim receipts today put matters back
into the hands of sellers, and prices
are 10 to % higher, mostly 10 to Is
up. Nothing choice is here today,
but prime steers are quotable at
$S.15 to $40 today. Bulk of steers
selling at 81 to $3.50, very few steers
for less than $6.40, COWS $4.25 TO $6.15
calves $3.50 to $S.75. A good many
heifers are said to be on feed in
Nebraska, and some good strings will
be run to market this week. Coun-
try buyers lost some of their en-
thusiasm last week also, and prices
closed lower, but the market is
firm today, stockers at $4.40 to 1925,
feeaers 1915 10 $500.
Cnere was 4 small increase in the
hog supply last week over previous
weeks in the last month, and the
market drifted along in a rut. with
out much net change for the week.
Supply today is 5000 head, market OPP
ened strong but the close was weak
to 5 lower, top $10,75, bulk $1,000 to
5000, light hogs up to $1,000. Prov
isions specialists say there is a
determined effort to get provisions
on a lower and more safe basis, the
success of which would take some
of the steam out of live hog prices.
