FOR PEACE

Havana, May 23-In discussing
a counter revolution against
General Francisco |. Madero, Jr.
General Reyes who is here today
replied: Il am opposed to such
a movement. The people have
been reused into action by those
who would continue the i'll feel
ing between the different parts
of our nation, in this uprising
against Madero. AS a patriot,
who fought for the federal union
| cannot sanction any such move
ment, We should reach a COM
plete understanding and work
unitedly for the upbuilding of
our nation; I credit the people

ter elements, with too much good
sense to join such a move. They
will work unitedly for the re-
of the government. ="

ROGERS GETS
FIVE YEhRS
W|GGINS I

Las Vegas, N. NJ, May, 25-
Will Rogers, who pleaded gull
ty in the district court here
last week to the charge of
burglary in connection with
the kidnapping of his nephew,
was brought before Judge G.
J.Roberts today and sentenced
to a term of not less than five
nor more than twelve years in
the territorial penitentiary at
Santa Fe. When asked if he
had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be pronoun
ced, he made no reply, at least
none that was audible in the
courtroom.
His accomplice, Joe Wig
gins, who was tried by a jury
and found guilty, on the same
charge, was given not less
than seven nor more than
twelve years in the peniten-
tiary. In imposing the sen
tence, Judge Roberts eX-
planned that he was giving
Rogers the lighter sentence ON
account of his youth and for
the further reason that he had
pleaded guilty and had taken
the stand to help conyict his
pal in the CRIME, whereas
Wiggins had fought the case
at the expense of the county.
The couple will be taken to
Santa Fe this evening and be
gin their terms behind prison
bars tonight.

viii NOT D6IdU
Statehood q
Single Minute

In his address on the statehood
situation in the House of Repre-.
sentatives George S. Legare of
South Carolina, in discussing the
vote on the amending clause of
the New Mexico constitution and
recall as applied to the judiciary
of the Arizona constitution,
said:
Under the resolution they
lose no time. Statehood is not
delayed a single minute. They
incur no extra expense. If the
majority of the people want
these amen dments they can get
them. If a majority of the peo-
pie are opposed to these amend
ments, they are not required to
take them. Now gentlemen,
those are the reasons in a nut
shell and briefly expressed. why
the committee has placed these
amendments in this resolution.
| wish personally, however, to
20 a step further in this matter
| wish to record my protest
against the recall feature of the
Arizona constitution, especially
the recall of the Judiciary
This is directly opposed to the
notices in the 'subsidized' press
of the terrific ry, which declares
that the joint resolution, if adopt
ed by.congress will delay state
hood. Mr.. Legare says: State
hood is not delayed single
minute, - Why then should any,
one OBJECT to allowing the people
Of New Mexico a chance to again
voice their sentiments on this
clause of the constitution? There
can be but one answer. They fear
the voters will not accept the
clause, when statehood is not
endangered as they were led to
believe it was when the con-
stitution was adopted last Jan
uary. The Subsidized press
has an ak to grind and fears it
may have to turn the grindstone.

Mdin6 VS..
WISCONSIN

Maine has a population, accord
ing to the governors estimate,
Of 731, 760. Milwaukee, Wis,
has a population Of $4,000. In
1907 Milwaukee paid the govern
ment tax on 2,551 places where
Intoxicating liquors were sold.
For the same year the state of
Maine paid the tax on 849 such
places. This, of course, includes
the druggists in both cases. Of
the 2,551 government licenses
taken out in Milwaukee, but g.
1876 are accounted for by saloons
and drug stores, leaving 4l6 who
were evidently in the blind pig
business. Of the $40 govern
ment licenses in Maine, a very
large majority are druggists. In
other words, the population con-
sidered, there are two blind
pigs" in the city of Milwaukee
to every one in the state of Maine.

SUMMER,

Kintyre, n. D.. June 9.-The town of
Kintyre, located on the 500 railroad
in Emmons county, is making the
most remarkable progress Of any new
town in the state. In addition to all
the good substantial buildings 1t al
ready has, there are now five new
houses and one new store building un-
der construction. Main street is now
being graded and as soon as this is
done 5000 feet of cement walk will
be put in. The cemetery association
Of Kintyre has just finished fencing
in the cemetery grounds with sub
stantial woven wire fence. The town
is full of strangers every day and
the hotel is not near large enough
to- accommodate the trade. The own
er of the hotel contemplates the en-
largement Of same in the near future.
With all the new improvements al
ready going on more are to follow
and Kintyre is bound to be one of the
best towns on the 500 road from
Cakes to Bismarck. Just watch us
grow.

ROLETTE COUNTY
SEAT CONTEST

Devils Lake, N. D., June 9.-Before
Judge Cowan in chambers at Devils
Lake today, the first skirmish in the
Rolette county seat contest took place.
Last fall the proposition to remove
the county seat from Rolla to Rolette
was voted upon by the people OF Ro-
lette county. On the face of the re-
turns the Roiette people were defeated.
Immediately the election was con-
tested by the Rolette advocates, on
the grounds that 1870 illegal votes had
been cast at the election, the throw
ing out OF which would show that no
lette was winner by safe margin
The first skirmish is on before Judge
Cowan on the application of the
Rollaites to compel the contestants to
file more complete bill OF particu-
lars giving the names OF the $50 voters
whom it Is alleged voted Illegally at
the election. The Rollaites also con-
tend that illegal votes were cast, but
they claim they will be able to show
that they were cast by the other side.
The case promises to be an interest
ing one, and 1T will doubtless come up
for trial at the next term of court ia
Rolette county which under the sta
tute was to convene on Monday Of this
week, but which has not yet been
called.
Geo. A. Bangs Of Grand Forks and a
number of Rolette attorneys have been
retained by the plaintiffs, while
Atty. II. q. Middaugh Of this city win
assist a number OF RoIla attorneys "a
resisting the contest.
