General Agent Mccormick
in Town.

General Agent W. c. Mccormick
of the Galveston, Harrisburg & San
Antonio Ry, Co., was in the city,
Friday, being introduced by Agent
J. T. Clayton to the business inter
ests of Deming. He spent some
little time in the GRAPHIC office and
had n whole lot of mighty handsome
bouquets to hand this section Of
New Mexico.
The G. II. g. S. A is an eastern
branch of the Sunset Route" and
is consequently interested in the
development of the whole system.
II is significant and very pleas
ant proposition that Deming is at.
tracing the attention of many big
railroad men throughout the coun-
try. They are about the first to
see the handwriting on the wall that
gives notice to the world that any
particular section is to become fam
Gus and we are always glad to well
come them to Deming.

General Manager Fox Will
Show EN-.

A few weeks ago General Mana.
ger Fox and a party of other Santa
Fe magnates paid a visit to Deming
and were shown the Humid and Hicks
pumps In operation. They were all
most favorably impressed and at
once became active members of the
National boosters club.
During the early morning sun
shine at the Hicks ranch the editor
made a snap shot of the group
standing at the we'll watching the
"99.99' coming up at the rate of
1900 gallons per minute. The pic
ture was a good one and so the big
manager was sent copy, upon re-
ceipt of which he replied as follows:
Certainly very good picture,
and ! am proud to have been one of
rhe group. Shall take particular
pains to present this to my friends
to show them wha, is being accom-
plished in a country generally
thought to be hopelessly dry"
General Supt. Kurn expressed
about the same sentiment and fur
ther says: Next time | am in that
neighborhood will lay over and call
around to see you.

SEWER VOTE
NEXT TUESDAY
1t is an Absolute Necessity If
Deming Maintains its

EVERYBODY TO VOTE
Who has Property Interests
to Protect or Welfare of
Town at Heart.

Next Tuesday, January 10, the
progressive people of Deming ar,,
going to have an opportunity to give
The town another important boosi.
by voting bonds for a complete
sewer system, one that will keep our
rapidly growing municipality the
healthiest place in the Southwest.
The cost. as compared with the ben
efits, is very small, when il is con-
sidered how capital seeking invest
ment here regards this feature of
civic life. We have the purest
water in the world, and If we would
keepit from becoming contaminated.
n perfect system of sewerage is ab.
solutely essential.
Silver City, with a water supply
not To be compared with ours. has
just installed system of sewerage
that makes health conditions ideal
there. II Deming keeps up the
pace she must do the same, and
there is not a person who under
stands the situation who will advise
otherwise.
The engineers who will have the
work in charge are men who have
put in sewer systems all over the
Southwest, including Silver City.
and are thoroughly competent to
give us the best service at the least
possible cost.
Ilme that people having the welfare
Of the growing city at heart may
not forget to he at the polls and
vote next Tuesday. 0nly those hay
ing property liable to assessment
can vote on the question.

Objection has been made to Arti-

relating to the militia. which reads
as follows:
Section |. The militia of this
state shall consist of all ablc.bodied
male citizens between the ages of
Is and As. except sach as are eX-
empt by laws of the United States
or of this state. The organized
militia shall be called the National
Guard of New Mexico, of which
the Governor shall be the command
er-in-chief.
Section 2. The legislature shall
provide for the organization, disci-
pline and equipment of the militia
which shall conform as nearly as
practicable to the organization, dis
cipline and equipment of the regu-
lar army Of the United States and
shall provide for the mantainance
thereof.
Serious consideration to objections
so untenable in character could
hardly be entertained except for thu
apparent earnestness of objectors "a
the constitution as advocated
through newspaper articles.
AS has been said by those in reply
the article above mentioned is al.
most identical in form with the con

A BATTLE OF L'oUrRANcE.


ALOUNT had been halting be-
tween two opinions. The fight
WW ing blood in him prompted him
to stay and set up the stand
ard of honesty and fair dealing in the
Blount name, to gather a few men of
like convictions around him and to en-
ter the political conflict at the head of
a movement designed at once and for
ever to abolish machine dictatorship
in his n1dve state.
But, on the other hand, the claims Of
blood could not be altogether ignored.
The campaign for political cleanliness
would inevitably involve his father
would, If successful, defeat and dis
grace him. Clearly 1t was the part of
flial duty to hesitate before he should
set his hand to this particular pillow Of
reform. Would it not be better for
him to drop out quietly, leaving the
political housekeeping for some one
who would not have to pay such a
costly price for the leadership?
Thus the two promptings clamored
each for its hearing. But. after all, it
was chance and the swift current Of
The occasion that decided for him and
swept him along into the vortex Of
action.

Questions have often been asked as
to the real cause Of the difference be-
tween Gilbert and Sullivan a ore
time, and many staten4l MIS-
have been made OF the subject. The
truth is very simple and commonplace.
Gilbert objected to the proposal Of
Mr.. D'Oyley Carte to include the sum
Of f1,50O for refurnishing the front Of
the Savoy theater in the preliminary
expenses of the production Of THE
Gondoliers." Sullivan did not support
him in the way he thought he should,
and for a time a GOODNESS between
them resulted. 1t was, however, al
ways a matter of the greatest salts
faction to Gilbert that he and Sullivan
were the best Of friends again before
the latter died.-Westminster Gazette.

ON THE WING OF OCCASIONS.

oN LIE WlNG OE OCCASlONS.
NROM the time it was heralded
in the mammoth New Years
edition of the Plainsman as
the newest, the finest and the
most luxurious hostelry west of the
Missouri" the Inter-Mountain hotel in
the S~agebrush capital had been the
gathering place of the political clans.
After the solid costliness Of War
trace Hall and the thirty mile spin in a
nigh powered roadster, which was only
one Of the three high priced motor
carriages in the Wartrace garage, Evan
father registered in permanence for
one Of the private dining room suits
at the Inter-Mountain.
1t was very evident that the simple
life which had been the rule of the
Circle Bar ranch household had be-
come a thing Of the past, and, though
he charged the new and e%Xtravagant
order of things to the ambition of his
fathers wife, he could not cavil at it.,
since he was himself a sharer in it's
comforts and ~luxuries.
For the first few days he was left
almost wholly to his own devices. Be-
yond giving him a good many intro
auctions as the opportunities for them
came in the semipublic life of the no.
tel his father made few demands upon
him, and they met only at luncheon
and dinner, the first Of which was
usually served in their suit, while for
h latter they went to the cafe. But
Gantry was back, and he was always
available.
Almost before he realized it Blount
had been put in touch with the busy,
breezy life of the city and was ex-
changing mods or handshakings with
more people than he had aver known
in Cambridge or Boston.
"Pretty good little old town, isn't
it," laughed Gantry n day when he
had tolled Blount away from the In
ter-Mountain luncheon to share a table
with him in the Railway club. Sect
ting so you feel a little more at home
with us?"
IF I'm not it isn't your fault, Dick,
or the fault Of your friends. Naturally
I expected some sort of welcome as
David Blount's son, but that doesn't
seem to cut any figure at all"
Gantry's smile vas inscrutable.
''The people with whom it cuts the
largest figure will let you know
anything about it. Just the same, it's
cutting a good bit of ice. Il have met
a dozen men, more or less. within the
past day or SO who have discovered
that you are the brainiest thing that
ever escaped from the law school,"
'Tommyrot!" derided Blount.
TITS a fact. And they are prophecy
ing all sorts of a future for you" And
again Gantry's smile was broadly sly.
Like what?" scoffed the listener.

The Coming Primaries.

The primary election to be
held in Worcester County this
year will be different from any
primary ever held here as we
will vote directly for the nomi-
nation of Governor, Comptroller,
Attorney General, Associate
Judge and for delegates to the
State Convention. At the same
time delegates to the county
convention may be selected; but
this can be done later in Wor-
cester County if the best inter
ests of the party demand post
ponement. All of the nominees
of the Democratic party will be
on one ballot printed on white
paper, and all the candidates of
the Republican party are on an
other ballot, of another color.
Both the Democratic primaries
and the Republican primaries
will be held at the same time,
but two ballot boxes will be
used, one for each party. The
Democratic ballot box will be
guarded by a Democrat and the
Republican ballot box by Re
publican, so that none who are
known to be of an opposite polit-
ical faith may cast their ballots
wrong. If Republican offers
to vote at Democratic primary
he binds himself to support the
nominees of the Democratic
party, and if a Democrat offers
to vote at a Republican primary
he signifies that he has changed
his politics and intends to sup
port the nominees of the Repub-
lican party. There is no middle
ground. No changing affilia-
tions as is done in Baltimore
Here a man must be one thing
or another. He must show his
colors, and no Democrat hest
tates to do that.
1t is important that we take
a deep interest in the coming
primaries, as we register by our
votes our choice for Governor
and other State officials as well
as for Associate Judge. The
primaries will be held the latter
part of August and every Dem
ocrat is urged to remember that
this is his opportunity to say
who shall be his party nomi,
