what chance will prohibition have

A dispatch elsewhere In this issue
Of the Record says that b new rail-
road from Quanah, Texas, TO Ell Paso
will be built through Artesias and
not Roswell. Possible it will go to
Artesia because Roswell is a wet
town and Artesia a dry town. This
may not be a very good argument,
but it is much better than Il oppon-
ents Of ~no-license are putting up.

Imagine the swart Arab, aban-
doning his love, the beautiful
Arabian horse, for the bicycle.
Picture him bent low over a pair
of racing handlebars, his dark
countenance set into the stare of
the bicycle face, the white
widow's-weeds effect he wears on
his head swapping behind him in
the wind as he scorches across the
desert from oasis to oasis. What
sort of a pant guard can he wear
to keep hi skirts out of the chain
|sprocket? At the sight how the
camels of the caravans must try
to climb the date palms!
1t is a true picture in the main.
Consul Jesse b. Jackson, Of Alep-
po, Syria, reports bicycle craze
spreading over Asia Minor. The
Arabs are becoming as keen
judges of bikes, he says, as they
are of horses. Only 1910 models
will suit them. Their wheels are
fully equipped from tire bells to
coaster brakes. No women'sI
wheels are sold. Turkish and
Arabian women do not appear in
public unless heavily yelled.

stretched to the swapping point.
It needed only the slightest ma
tural emotion aroused by the men
ton of his mother at such a time
to upset his balance, and Balling-
er shed genuine tears.
On this occasion Ballinger saw,
for the first time, some of his
most relentless pursuers. In
stinctively, glances crossed, and
Ballinger took stock of such of his
opponents as he could pick out
during the opening of the hearing.
Brandeis arose for a brief, soft
spoken argument. Ballinger's gaze
Travelled over him from toes to
hair, then never turned in Bran
deis' direction again during the
days session. Pepper, of retiring
demeanor, Ballinger did not mark
lat all.
Ballinger might have done well
to take closer stock of Brandeis
and Pepper. For Brandeis' SEN
fences are not always soft spoken,
and Peppers retiring manner is a
snare and a delusion.
Pepper and Brandeis attain
about the same results. Between
them they are calculated to tear
Ballinger's perfect alibi to threds.

ENGIISHMEN THINK GEORGE

sSAMyOR KING" LOVES HIS
FAMILY AND HOME.

LONDON, May 11-When King
Edward grew alarmingly Ill In
1909, Englishmen turned their
eyes toward their future sover-
elgn. During his fathers reign
George had kept in the back
ground and was little known to
the millions of souls In the Brit
ish empire.
To the man in the street the new
king is am unknown figure So far
as his character and capabilities
are concerned. Asked what kiad
OF man the new king Is, the aver
age man will proba bly, reply: ''oh,
he's usually looked upon as a bit
of a fool" He has little reason
for saying this.
This is the description of the
king given by one OF his own
most intimate friends:
HE is a quiet, shy, reserved
man with excellent capabilities
and a great deal of affection. He
is fine man of business and has
great powers Of organization. Had
he not been prince of Wales he
might have run a large business
concern with great success. All
the time he has been trying tc
qualify himself to fill the position
of king of England in the same
manner as an able lawyer might
try to qualify for the office OF
judge. AS king he will be known
as tremendous worker and a
man of distinct ability and con-
seriousness"

ness. CLAWS in Montana would
have been off his territory, liable
to reprimand or discharge.
He Weeps.
Continually during the examina-
ton he showed his mind to be a
distressing mixture of anger and
fear. Early in his testimony he
broke down and wept tears that
glistened and were seen.
But why not concede the tears
to be genuine? It is not remark
able he should have broken down.
1t happened when he was reading
the letter he wrote to Secretary
Garfield just after he (Ballings<N

and had returned to Seattle t.

gan, and then ran on for a few
lines telling about the trip across
the continent and the health of the
Ballinger family.

ger, reading, and then he stopped,
lowered the letter, reached for a
glass of water, drank a swallow
and then tried again. "My moth
err" he voiced the words in a gut
tural and a squeak, then blindly
handed over the letter to Vertrees,
stammered huskily for excuse and
plunged his eyes into his hand
kerchief, while Vertrees continued
the reading of the letter in a voice
for the mourners at a
funeral.
Now, Ballinger's mother isn't
dead, though she is old and ailing.
But 1t should be remembered
that for ten months Ballinger has
been undergoing a fire of accusa-
tions such as seldom has been di-
rected against any high American
official. The crisis was reached
