After half century of railroad
ing, Harahan quit to rest and
play. When he resigned the pres
idency of the Illinois Central
railroad recently it was announced
that he had reached the age limit,
seventy, but as most of the bio
graphical records of the country
say that Harahan was born in
1843, it looks like the age limit
was brought ahead two years so
that Harahan might be gotten rid
of without offending his friends.
1t was just five years ago that
the famous fight between the late
e. H. Hartman and Stuyvesant
Fish over the control of the Illi-
nois Central forced Fish out and
gave the presidency to Harahan,
former vice president, who had de-
serted his chief for the Hartman
ranks.
Since then it has been freely
predicted that Fish would get back
at him. Just what part Fish
played in forcing the retirement
at this time is unknown. The
new president, Charles H. Mark
ham, is well known as an oil man;
this is his first railroad job.

Dear Sir: In Saturdays issue
of The Times l noticed an article
written by Mrs. e. G.. relating to
the action of the city authorities
in prohibiting prize fight that
was advertised to come off in
Tacoma "a few days ago, and ON
the opposite of the same sheet an
article describing the conditions
existing In Juarez, Mex.
The contrast between the two
articles is so marked that l could
not refrain from making softe
comments on them. Il
Let us compare the two articles
and then decide which condition
of affairs we would prefer to live
under. In the first instance the
fight was called between two
men born in the image of their
Creator, after being advertised, II
was prohibited by the authorities
duly elected by the people and
sworn to maintain their peace and
dignity. The second article ad-
vertised the bull fight to occur on
the Sabbath, which the lord says
thou shalt keep holy"

The Democratic Leader Answers
Nineteen Questions Which Are
Regarded as Most Important
and Interesting to the Country
at This Time,
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10.
What is the duty of the demo-
cratic party in the next con-
gress?
What of democracy in the presi-
Dental campaign of 1912?
Listen!
For here follow 10 answers by
Hon. Champ Clark, leader of the
democrats in congress and speak
err of the next house of represen-
tatives, to 10 questions ON these
most important subjects:
Now that the democratic eau
Gus has chosen the ways and
means committee of the next
house, what will it do?
The selection of the democratic
contingent of the ways and means
committee on Jan. 10, more than
nine months in advance of the be-
ginning of the first regular ses-
sion of the sixty-second congress,
is a long step in expediting the
remodeling or revision or reduc-
ton of the tariff to which we
stand pledged. Therefore the
members of the ways and means
committee will at once go to work
to accumulate information on
which to base the bill or bills
which they will introduce. Those
papers which have been charging
that l want to delay tariff revi-
sion are disappearing me. The
caucus of Jan. 10 was the first
step toward fastening tariff re-
vision, and that caucus was called
on my suggestion. There can. be
no doubt that the members of the
ways and means committee will do
all in their power to get into &C
ton as soon as possible and there
by hasten the redemption of demo
cratic promises on the subject of
the tariff.
What kind of a tariff revision
does the character of this COM
mittee spell?
The character of the committee
is a guarantee that democratic

we're scurrying for the odd ounces,
relief arrived and the Gauls were

took the money and quit because
after seven months trial of the

Las Vegas, N. NJ, April 23.-
Judge Clarence J. Roberts caused
CONSERVATION among Las Vegas
saloon men Saturday, when he
imposed q fine of SIS and costs
and a jail sentence of five days
on John Thompson, proprietor Of
the Antlers bar for q violation Of
the Sunday law. Thompson was
arrested q week ago. When ar
ranged before Judge Roberts, he
pleaded guilty and asked the
mercy Of the court. In passing
sentence, Judge Roberts took oc-
casion to remark that had Thomp-
son been found guilty after a
trial by jury the jail sentence
would have been much more Sc
we're. He further stated that all
saloonkeepers convicted before
him Of violation Of the Sunday
law hereafter would be given jail
sentences and that in no instance
would such sentence be remitted.
AS a resul: this city hereafter is
expected to be as dry, liQuorally

Bill, IS SENT
TO CONGRESS
ASKING hID

Delegate Andrews one day last
week introduced in Congress two
hundred and fifty bills Of various
kinds, classes and sizes. Estan-
cia people feeling that they had
been sighted have taken the
matter up with him and have
asked that he introduce at least
one more. While without
doubt, all cannot pass, it was de-
cided that there's no harm in
asking" so Attorneys Fred H.
Ayers and A. 8. Honnold on
Saturday evening prepared a bill,
which has been sent the dele
gate. The bill reads as follows:
Be 1t Enacted by the Congress
Of the United States: That the
sum of Five Thousand Dollars is
hereby appropriated to be ex-
pended in Precinct No. z, Tor
rance County New Mexico, which
includes the town Of Estancia,
for the purpose of sinking and
testing wells to determine the
underfoW water available for ir-
rigation by pumping, such sum
to be expended under the direc-
ton and supervision Of the Uni
ted States Reclamation Service.
In the mean time the work O f
testing the wells by the Estancia
Irrigation District will not lag ,
but will be pushed as soon as the
Layne & Bowler pump, which has
been shipped, arrives.
The matter of proving by actual
test, the amount Of water availa-
ble for pumping in the wells
within the district, is the next
step, and q step which must be
taken before any thing else can
be done toward getting the ir-
rigation under way. The various
plans for central pumping
plants and individual system will
be examined by expert engineers
before a decision is reached as to
which shall be adopted. President
Garrison Of the Agricultural Col
lege has proposed to send an en-
gineer here to stay as long as we
need him to go into all such de-
tails and advise the directors just
what is best. For this service
we will need pay only the actual
expenses and hotel bill
