MERGING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Cheering News For The Farmers
Unicn.

Written by j C Stribling, Union
Bureau.
There is no doubt now about the
fact that the Sea Island Cotton
Growers association will join the
Farmer rs Union in body. This is
merging a good body of the best
organized cotton growers in the
South into the Farmers Union,
The Farmers Union, having ab-
sorbed or survived the Southern Cot
ton association, the Sea Island Cotton
Growers association and about all the
farm demonstration workers, from
that grand and good man, DR. Knapp,
down the whole line of demonstra-
ton workers, the State Commission
of Agricultural workers, this begins
to look like merging the whole fam
ily into the union in earnest. When
we get all the Boys Corn clubs. the
Boys Hog and Hominy clubs, the
Girls Frying Chicken clubs and the
Sunshine club, we will then have
about all the family except the dog,
and since our Farmers Union people
have not yet acquired a taste for
puppy sausages" we don't need
either the two-legged or four-leg-
ged canine in our business but our
Farmers Union people do love the
homegrown four-legged hog about
as well as they detest imported cor
poration hogs.

A TIFF WITH THE New YORK Cor
TON EXCHANGE.

The most interesting and amusing
debate to Farmers Union people of
late was the sharp discussion of the
report of the committee on New
York Cotton Exchange methods at
the recent meeting of the American
Cotton Manufacturers association,
when Lewis Parker and other cotton
spinners, claimed that the New York
Cotton Exchange was run more in
the interest of gambling than as a
medium in the legitimate interest of
cotton trading. 1t came out in the
debate that this New York Cotton
Exchange gambled and by the use of
wires and lies, backed up by a few
hundred thousand bales of dog-tail
cotton in New York warehouses,
could run cotton futures either up
or down, taking profits from either
side, irrespective of prices of spot
cotton and cotton mill men are now
about of the same opinion about the
New York Cotton Exchange question
as the Farmers Union has been for
the last five years. at which time
cotton growers through a kind of de-
tective committee made their report
to the Union that sounds very like
the cotton mill mems report on the
gambling features of this New York
Cotton Exchange, which is beyond
doubt the biggest humbug that has
anything to do with the cotton mar
ket. Since our mill men have made
this new(?) discovery for their own
benefit, that cotton growers found
ont ever five years back, Farmers
Union men should be more patient
with the cotton mills, as they are
gradually coming toward the cotton
growers for their cotton and the
Southern mills, it appears, may, af-
ter a time, find out that there Is no
reason for going to New York to
pet cotton grown at their own door,
if the mills are now about five years
behind time in finding out the
amount of rotten cotton there is IN
the New York Cotton Exchange.

UNDER DEMOCRACY AND
NOW


Under the democratic bosses-the
men who ran the Thornton admins
tration and who are trying to get
back into power nowhere was q
deficit in the state Of s127.0OO and an
empty treasury.
And in the various counties OF New
Mexico the Incompetence. waste and
p,under was even more bitterly felt.
Many of the counties were issuing
script to pay their running expenses.
Some of the counties were absolutely
bankrupt.
In less than four years, not only
had the democratic bosses ruined the
credit of the territory but they also
had bankrupted many of the counties
and the times were so hard and the
depreciation of property SO sudden
and far reaching. capital so hard to
get and people generally so hard VI
that the county treasurers were uI
against it for real money.
But what are the conditions today
under republican government?
The reports from the various coun
ty treasurers show today that IL
cash, the various county treasure.
hold $95O,S59.77. This is the balance
reported in aggregate on October i
1911.
This is what it means to you, Mr.
Taxpayer, to have republican ad
ministration. 1t means prosperity.
On the other hand you are con
fronted with the record of ruin, o
deficit of empty treasures, of plunde
and political gain.
Do you want to continue to at
vance or do you want to go back t
the dark days Of the Thornton at
ministration with a deficit in les
than four years of $127,339.91 and a
empty treasury?
Do you want to go back to a ia
rate of 1880 mills with nothing I
show for it but ruined credit?

No comment is needed upon the
following letter from Hon. Chas. "
Stafford to the people of New Mexico
1t so refutes the libelous inuen-
does which have been cast upon Mr..
Safford's integrity by the Journal;
Democrat, and is such full and con-
convincing statement Of the circum-
stances and motives which lay be-
hind the dastardly attempt to dis
grace H. o. Bursum that it cannot
fail to arouse the deepest resentment
throughout New Mexico against the
conspirators who participated in the
attempt to blacken the name Of a
good and able citizen. Mr. Safford's
letter is as follows;
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Oct. 20, 1911.
70 the People of New Mexico;
The Albuquerque Morning Journal
in course of its fight on Mr.. H. o.
Bursum, republican candidate for
governor of this state, has seen fit in
a number of recent publications to
seek to draw me into the controversy
with the insinuation that my report,
made under the direction Of the court
upon Mr.. Bursum's administration as
superintendent of the New Mexico
penitentiary, was cooked up af'
fair The Journals effort has been
to create the impression that the ex'
animation / made was not thorough,
was misleading, was incorrect and
was made with the sole purpose OF
withdrawing" Mr.. Bursum. H
The Journal is giving much pub
licity to this matter. 1t is advertising
what it chooses to call my clever
ness" The effort to injure me ant
to attack my integrity has been delib
D crate. 1t has been as unprincipled az
the assault upon Mr. Bursum. / feel

port and the events leading up to /

every detail of the attempt of H.
Hagerman and the Morning Journa
to ruin the reputation of Mr.. Bursum

Rursum and Mr.. Hagerman grew ou

of territorial officials and Others

and no other man could presume +

stated that the appointment of terri

Mr.. Bursum.' and also referred to
ether prominent republicans whom
;he said he would have to eliminate. /"
At the solicitation of Hagerman one
e. p Holcomb was sent here by the
department OF the interior. That
party made an examination of the
record at the penitentiary GOVERNS
one day. On Holcomb's statements and
those statements alone Hagerman
concluded that the proper course for
him was to bring charges against Mr.
Bursum which would give him ground
for dismissing him from office, for
seeking to publicly disgracing him
and for attempting to kill Mr.. Bur
sums political influence.
Hagerman consulted mo about the
matter. He told me the kind of re
port he wanted, and stated the show
ing made by Mr.. Holcomb. was
thoroughly familiar with territorial fin
ancial affairs and / told Hagerman
that he could not make such report
/ If he was an honest man and that
would not make it. I told him that
4 Rursum was not "a thief and I
warned him that to attempt the pro-
cedure he had in mind would react
uopn him. At the conclusion of this
interview Hagerman dismissed me
from his office with the words "BY
GOD CAN'T MAKE YOU BELIEVE
4 He is A THIEF. YOU NEED NOT
l Make THE REPORT BUT | WILL.
4 GET SOMEONE THAT WILL MAKE
4 IT"
4 Immediately thereafter Hagerman
\ brought to New Mexico the so-called
4 Colorado expert" This man did
several weeks of mysterious work in
the offices of the territorial auditor
: the governor and the attorney gen
eral and upon this examination for
tmulated a report which was spread
q broadcast throughout New Mexico by
Hagerman and the Journal. This

concerned and is intended to show the
good faith O. the Commercial club to-
wards upper river waterusers and

Paul Limited Run Into
From Rear BY Freight.
CARS PILEUP, CATCH FIRE
Scores of Injured Caught i'm Debris of
Telescoped Sleeping Car and Are
Heroically Rescued by Squads OF
C.tizens-Officiars Family Killed.

Odessa, Mimi, Dec. 1S.-Thirteen
persons were killed and scores of pas
sengers more or less seriously injured
this morning when a special silk
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St Paul, crashed into the rear end
of the Columbia Limited.
The death LIST was piled up in the
sleepers of the limited, four of these
cars being telescoped when the i'm
pact occurred. Only four cars were
left standing on the track.
The first victims to be identified
were the wife and daughter of Super
intendent j. F. Richards of the Trans
Mississippi division of the road, sta
toned at Mobridge, S. D., and Mrs.
c. w. Barber of Terry. Mont Mrs.
l. Revey of Three Forks. Mont, and
Mrs Annie Deutsch of Butte were
slightly injured.
Fire broke out in the overturned
cars, adding greater horror to the dis
aster and it was extingushed only
after an heroic fight by citizens who
rushed to the scene of the wreck. e.,
The corpses of eleven of the vic
tins were brought to this city on a
special train and a wrecking train and
physicians have been rushed to the
scene.
Passengers in the front cars escap-
ed with slight injuries, while it is mi
raculous that any escaped in the rear
cars, as they were piled on top of
each other and smashed to pieces.
Rescuers found many badly injured
persons held by the wreckage and
unable to move without aid.
