Unconfirmsd Report Says Rebels have Cap

to Believe He would 60 South

Agent Kennedy received word
late yesterday evening that
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., leader
of the Insurrectos had attacked
Juarez, today which had fallen
and that Madero had entered the
city and taken control of it. On
account of the storm last night,
the telephone system was out OF
commission and we were unable
to either verify the report or get
futher particulars.
Reports from Ell Paso Sunday
evening were to the effect that
Madero was preparing to march
his army on Mexico City, This
report may have been sent out
in order to put General Navarro,
who was in charge of Juarez, off
his guard, that the attack
might find him unprepared.

RECORUS PROVE
COMMITTEE IS NOT
GAUSE OF Delay

That the committee of which
Hon. H. B. Ferguson is member
which has been before the House
committee on Territories in an
effort to secure an amendment
to the constitution, is not in favor
of delaying the admission of New
Mexico to statehood, we quote
the following from the official re-
cord Of the proceedings Of that
committee: In speaking Mr.. Fer
gusson. among other thing said:
I'VE are for statehood now,
and under this constitution. at
your hands. If our request
would delay the matter, we will
not make it. We want it to go
through at the special session.
'The chairman. Mr.. Fergus
son, do not know, Of course,
what is going to happen; but it
seems to me that we ought to be
able to get this resolution through
the house within the next month
if not sooner, and you do not
want it delayed at all, as I under
stood. If any suggestion that
you make is going to have that
effect, you do not want it adopt
ed. :.
"Mr. Ferguson. lido not want
it delayed on that account.
The chairman. You do not
want it DELAYED a day or a week.
Mr. Ferguson. We donotWaa5;
it delayed a day or a week in con-
sequence of any position we tska
here; but should delay come from
other reasons that we can'notcop-
trol-national or poIiticalreasons
which animate those higher in:
authority-we believe in justice,
the constitution ought to be
amended at least, in that respect.
But we will take statehood under
that constitution rather than de-
lay it beyond this extra session, or
for any time beyond what this
committee desires.
THE chairman. AS I under
stand your position, if a change
can be made in the method of
amending your constitution with
out delaying the matter, you
would like to see that change
made?
Mr.. Ferguson. That is it,
exactly"

PLATFORMS
ARE T0CHTCH
VOTES ONLY

In the current issue Of the
Saturday Evening Post is pub
lished an article on "The Barred
Door and That Welcome on the
Doormat," by Eugene Manlove
Rhodes. The author proves him
self familiar with conditions in
New Mexico, and doesn't hesi-
tatein using plain language in
saying what he thinks. After
having shown that the political
parties have used platform
pledges to fool the people, he
clinches the argument blythe fol-
lowing:
When ever such green hostility
has been shown to these ter
ritories all down the long road,
why were all these promises
made? 1t could not have been
policy, since the denizens had no
votes. Was it sheer wantonness?
Was it love of lying for it's own
sake or simply for practice?
Not so, nv masters. Every
little movement has a meaning
all it's own. This puzzling pro-
blem is consistently controlled by
the steadfast principles of barter.
There is one place, and only one.
where the denizens have had
voice and vote. That is in the
national conventions. These
votes were needed for candidates
or for measures-to point with
pride or to view with alarm. At
the psychological moment the
territorial delegates made their
little bargain. Then they pointed
or viewed and in return got the
conventional statehood plank.
Let US take a modern instance:
Suppose you were manager of
Presidential candidate selected
some months before the con-
vention. You are erecting a plat
form. A political platform is not
a declaration of principles; it is
q device to catch votes. Suppose,
in your carpentering, you were
confronted with this cruel situa-
ton: that a labor plank was
vociferously urged upon you, of
such a sort that it would please
laborers and infuriate capital;
that a substitute plank should be
frowningly urged upon you, of
such differing import as to please
and thaw capital, indeed, but to
infuriate the laborers. What
would a fellow do, then, poor
thing?
Obviously a poor fellow would
straddle and trim. He would en-
deaver to get a third plank, a
just-as-good plank, Of no mean
ing whatever sound and fury,
signifying nothing; which, pleas
ing no one, should at least anger
on one. If, counting noses, the
poor fellow found that the vote
would be close, it follows as the
night the day that there would
then be a statehood plank for
the territories-with a mental
reservation.
And this, if you please in
stealthy secrecy, with til and
pain and rrecaution,
to exchange a nothing
for a delusion, myt for a
vacuum, a mirage for a chimera--

100 KILLED IN 4 MONTHS.

The unusually large number OF
railroad wrecks during the past few
months, especially since July 4, has
aroused the interest of the Inter. State
Commerce Commission who, under
recent amendments of the Interstate
Commerce act, have been keeping in
closer touch with every phase of the
safety appliance, hours of labor and
accident features of transportation
AS soon as word of the Lehigh Val
ley disaster reached Washington,
safety appliance inspectors were sent
to Manchester, n. Y, to study the
situation before the removal of the
debris. H. w. Beinap, chief in
spector, also went to make personal
investigation:
The Federal Governments keeping
much closer tab on the accident pulse
as a result of the action of Congress
in recently passing laws on hours of
labor and new safety appliances.
Formerly train wrecks and other
rail accidents were reported only after
the lapse Of some time. Now the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
through its Bureau Of Safety Appli-:
ances, has 100 inspectors in the field :,
and is in Geographic touch with all.
rail accidents as soon as they occur.
There is a penalty under the new
law if the commission is not immrd-
lately notified of an accident.
Most of the accidents of the past
few months were ,dcrailments, and
the records slow that the death toll
has been unusually heavy. IN eight
wrecks since April 20 there have been
100 killed and 2S8 injured, according
to official reports,
The commission now keeps record
not only of those killed in accidents
but also of all deaths due to trespass-
ing on the property of railroads.
This shows that more than 1885,
600 persons have been killed and
over 1,344, 900 injured on American
railroads since 1887, when the Inter
State Commerce Commission was
created.

RED CROSS SEAL CAMPAIGN
OPENS.

If expectations for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals this year, as
announced by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis today, are realized, one
hundred million of the holiday stick
ers or million dollars worth, will be
sold.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
ton will this year for the first time
be- National Agent for the American
Red Cross in handling the sale OF
seals. A new national Office has been
opened in Washington, and an initial
order has been placed for 100000
seals, although it is expected that
double that number will be sold.
The charge to local agents for the
seals will be 1910 of the gross pro-
ceeds, the national agent furnishing
the seals and advertising material,
and taking back all unsold seals at
the end of the season.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
approved of the design of the seal.
Owing to the fact that many people
last year used Red Cross Seals for
postage, the Post Office Department
has given orders that letters or pack
ages bearing seals on the face will not
be carried through the mails.
This will be the third year that the
seals have been sold on a National
basis. In 1908 over $135,OOO was
realized from the sale; in 1906 nearly
s225,OOO; and in 1910 nearly $780,

is "A Million for tuberculosis from

Women And Ancient Customs.

Women And Ancient Customs.
For thousands of centuries, man has
said that woman must keep silent In the
churches, and that she must obey her
husband, that she must not earn her own
living; that woman must be blindfold to
injustice, and tonguetied upon all public
questions. But is woman satisfied with
eternal tutelage? Is not mothers wis
dom too ripe to need tutelage from her
sons?
The thing for woman to do is to blaze
the way of her sex 80 thoroughly that
sixteen-year-old boys in the next gener'
alton will not dare to ask a scholarly
woman incredulously, "If she really
thinks women have sense enough te
vote?'
The Chinaman for centuries have taker
peculiar means of restricting women''
activities. They have bound the feet Of
the girl-babies as in vice, combining
them to inactivity and uselessness, be
cause the Cinnamon claim that, the small
er woman's foot, the more elevated hel
ladyship.
Ore significant fact about this is that
after centuries of constraint, God con
tinues to send the female child into tn
world with feet we'll formed, with foun
dalton as substantial to stand upon a
that of the male child. AS in this in
stance, SO in all cases of restrictions pu
upon woman they do not come from
God, but from man, beginning at birth
Like the Chinese, all nations hav'
bound, not only the body, but the min'
and soul of woman, with the mumm.
bands of aged customs, combining WON
ans activities men claiming, as thu
Chinaman, that the smaller woman
sphere, the more refined her ladyship.
As the heathens have outgrown tn
custom of drowning their babies becaus
of their sex, so woman should outgrov
all customs that seek to drown woman
identity, solely because of her sex.
These customs can never be destroyed
until woman is woman's friend, unit
women unite to overcome sex prejudice
