CRESCENT LUMBER co.

While Silver City has been growing
with wonderful strides in the last few
years, and is continuing its progress
with accelerated momentum at the
present time, population has been in
creasing all over Grant county, anu
all the towns Of the tributary country
have been growing. In consequence or
these things, the lumber merchants OF
Silver City have been very active in
gathering from all leading sources the
quality and kind Of lumber needed for
all purposes of construction. This is
work that required experience and
ability to supply all demands. These
qualifications are possessed by the
Crescent Lumber company, which has
extensive yards in Silver City, covering
a large area OF land The officers OF
the company are j. b. Herndon, presi-
dent and treasurer; w. II. Hahn, vice
president M. II. Lehr secretary, and
X. c. Adams, manager. In the building
of modern Silver City this company has
probably furnished more material than
any other company dealing in similar
lines. They handle everything that is
used in building a house and they
have 100000 feet Of lumber always In
stock.

BUSY DAY AHEAD
FOR TAFT

Chicago, March 16.--From the
moment when President Taft steps
from the train, at s o'clock tomor-
row morning, into the arms OF re-
ception committee until l0:30 p. m.
when he will depart for the East,
every minute will be turned to &C
count. The forenoon will be spent
in visits to the Chicago Newspaper
Club, the Chicago. Press Club and
the Traffic Club. The President will
take luncheon at the Hotel LaSalle
as the guest of Edward Hines.
The afternoon progremme will be-
gin with a visit to the convention
of the American Association of En-
gineers of Maintenance of Way In
session at the Congress hotel. From
the hotel the President will be con-
Quoted across the street to the Audi
forum, where he will deliver a brief
address at the conservation mass
meeting. Thence journey of an
other block will bring him to the
Fine Arts building, where he has
promised to greet the Daughters of
the American Revolution. After
brief visit to the Hamilton Club he
will return to the Hotel LaSalle for
the reception and banquet OF the r.
ish Fellowship Club.
The arrangements for the banquet
have been made on an elaborate
scale. The affair is to be held in
three dining rooms, so large has been
the demand for seats, but all guests
will be seated in the main hall when
the addresses are made. President
Taft will probably not be present at
the opening of the banquet, but will
take his seat as soon as he Is dress
ed after leaving the reception. Not
the least interesting feature of the
arrangements is the fact that while
delivering his address the President
will stand on a bit of the "old sod.
which the Irish Fellowship Club had
sent over from Ireland especially for
the occasion.
In addition to the President the
speakers at the banquet will include
Professor Joseph G. Monaghan of
Notre Dame university and John

BIBLE CONUNDRUM

m ANSWER to my ad on misquoted
word in Luke 1926, Hope Ellis
gave the best explanation why
hate was better word than love,
viz, "You should not let your re-
glation come between you and your
Cod" The proper answer to this
squedtion is that 1t means just as
q f reads. When Christ said Love
We one another" he meant it, and
when he said HE that hath no
sword let him sell his garment
ana buy one" does not mean that
you should beat your swords into
plowshares. If it did 1t would I'M
doubtedly read that way. If a

chance to make for themselves homes in
a country where the soil is of unexam-
pied richness, where the climate is per-
lection, where tire are no searching
summers and freezing winters. There
are many thousands Of men working
harder on the farms of the Middle West
ern States than do the japanese, Span
iards and Porto. Ricans on the sugar
cane plantations of Hawaii.
An army Of these men could be OBJ
tanned for Hawaii, if the plantations
would but pay fair wage for fair
day s work. But they would want more
than that: they would want some as
surances of being able in time to buy
land for themselves and make their
homes.
Fortunately, this may be possible
soon. There is a bill now pending be-
fore Congress-probably by the time
this is published it will have become
law-amending the Organic Act under
which the Territory of Hawaii was ere
ated. This bill contains provision,
strongly urged by Governor Frear of
Hawaii and approved by the Legisla-
ture of the Territory, amending the
Territorial land laws so that more of
the Government land can be thrown
open to bona fide homesteaders in such
a way that it cannot be grabbed up by
SPECTATORS and the plantation interests
as soon as it is patented.
Under this change in the laws, the
Government of the Territory will have
something to offer to white American
settlers. But most of the crops raised
commercially in Hawaii require two or

three years to yield return. In addi-
ton it takes time and money to clear
the land and prepare it for sowing. The
average hOmesteader has usually none
too much money, and he must be able to
make decent living while he is waiting
for the fruition of his efforts.
The plantations can easily offer him
the chance to earn this living, if they
will. Wages, it is true, will have to be
raised, but who can honestly contend
that true prosperity lies in low wagesY
The conditions Of life among the plan
tation laborers will have to be improved,
but that is not liable to ruin the coun-
try. Americans are not proud of squal-
or, ignorance and long hours of labor.
The military and naval operations
now in progress in Hawaii insure the
strategic Importance of the Islands. The
bringing in of an army of American la
borers, farmers and homesteaders will
insure the commercial and economic i'm
portance Of the Territory and in time fit

baronial estates; communities of Amer
lean farmers may in time take the place
of the wretched hamlets of Oriental and
other serfs that now till the fields; but
who shall say that this will not work to
the advantage, not only of the commu-
nifty at large, but also of the very inter-
ests that now tremble at the thought of
an American invasion?

thoroughly convinced them that the au-
thorities were afraid of them.
But, though the clubs of the police
have given the immigrants more
wholesome respect for the power of the
law, the Russians have not been imbued
with any overwhelming desire to go to
the plantations. Some of them have
drifted away, it is true, but most of
them are still living in their rude camp
and on the country. Russian immigra-
ton as a solution of the labor problem
OF Hawaii would be huge joke if the
joke were not on the community.
But the story of the Russian has
reached beyond the limits of the Island
Territory, and it is reported that many
of the members of Congress are begin
ming to look askance at assisted immi-
grafton as means of populating the
Hawaiian Islands Other States and
Territories are not allowed to practice
the system of inducing population
that is in vogue in Hawaii, and there is
no good reason why Hawaii should be
permitted to smother her civilization
beneath the scum of the earth under the
pretense of creating real American
citizenship.
Hope for the Future.
The abrogation of the special privi-
lege under which the sugar planters of
Hawaii have been obtaining the labor
for the fields will hurt them temporar-
lily, perhaps. But the good effects will
without doubt more than counterbal-
ance any loss caused by the prohibition
of assisted immigration.
In all probability few if any of the
planters are conscious of the fact that
the pouring into the country of con-
slant stream of the ignorant, the dis
eased and the morally infected must, in
the end, injure both themselves and the
Territory. The sugar-planters are no
different from other business men, ex-
cept that, perhaps they are as class
rather more conscientious than capital
lists in other and more sophisticated
communities. But they have been look
ing through the wrong end of the tele-
scope; they have lost their perspective
and they have not profited by the expe-
rience of other countries and of other
parts of the United States. In common
with capital almost everywhere they be-
lieve that cheap labor will increase
their profits. forgetting that cheaply-
paid labor invariably does poor work

Russians Refuse to Work.

But the Russians simply sat down be-
side their bundles and refused to move
ON. They constructed rude tents of
quilts, pieces of mating, old boards,
sheet-iron and anything else that would
serve the purpose, and established them
selves in camp as if they expected to
remain there the rest of their lives.
They still refuse to work on the planta-
tions, though some of them are working
as stevedores along the waterfront.
They get their food in any way they
can, by begging, stealing, picking wild
fruit in the mountains. Many of the
women have taken to prostitution as a
means of making living, and the NOR
al condition of the camp is so unsavory
that at the present time the Federal
grand jury is making thorough inves-
tigation with a view to trying to find
grounds for the commencement of de-
portation proceedings.
The Russians were led by man
named Vasilieff, apparently a profess
sional agitator. He it was 81 first that
kept them from accepting the terms Of
fered by the plantations In the hope
that with him out of the way, the immi-
grants might see the light, the authori-
ties had Vasilieff arrested on charge
of vagrancy and sent to jail for three
months.
This brought about the climax of the
Russian trouble for as soon as they
knew their leader was behind the bars,
the whole Russian contingent. consisting
OF about 600 men, women and children,
besieged the police station and demand
ed in threatening tones that Vasilieff be
brought out and turned over to them.
The police, of course, refused and or
dered the Russians to dispense. They
refused, and the fire hose was brought
into play. This broke up their ranks
somewhat and then the police, mounted
and on foot, charged with drawn clubs.
Dispersed by Police.
Evidently expecting such charge,
the Russians had crowded all their wo-
men and children up in front and the
men hid behind them, probably think
ing that the police would not charge
through the helpless crowd, But they
were mistaken. Before they knew what
was happening the clubs of the officers
were descending on their heads The
men grabbed up their children and held
them out at arms length in front of the
horses, thinking that this would stop the
rush But it didn't The Russians were
thoroughly dubbed and in minute the
whole 600 were on the dead run for
their camp.
This was rough work, but it was I'M
doubtedly the only way to deal with the
situation, for fair words only more
