ing of actual farmers on the land, the
great reclamation engineer told the
business men. 1t is up TO the business

of the section in their charge, to slim

actual settlers and farmers.

easy to get and spend money from the
government, but 1t IS harder to get an
farm it intelligently. The average crop
production in the west is disgracefuly
low and not worthy Of the enterprise
OF the west. As soon as the dam IS
finished and water is being delivered.
we will have the swapping of land to
contend with and it will be necessary
Of water. We are here at the parting
of the ways. Intelligent development

Back of this will mean dropping in
prices of land and the further de-
crease in the production per acre on
the one hand is great agricultural de-
velOpment and on the other hand the
slipshod methods so often found in the
arid west 1t is up to the bankers and
business men who hold the credit of

Frank ". Clay followed director
Newell with a talk on the statistics
of cotton manufacture applied to FL
Paso. He said that FL Paso was in a
logical place for the manufacture of
this staple, being almost in the center
of a great cotton country. He said that
the cheap Mexican labor would be of
great advantage in the manufacture OF
cotton products and urged a factory to
manufacture high grade cotton goods,
which would advertise FL Paso all over
the world, as lockwood pottery has
advertised Cincinnati
At the close Of Mr.. Clay's talk, a P.
Coles said he would be one of a group
Of business men to subscribe $1,000 to-
ward the securing of such a factory
here.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 19.-President
Taft today gave congress his opinion
Of the charge that he had been playing
politics in MS recent executive order
putting $4,000 fourth class postmasters'
under the civil service. The president
made the counter charge that his ae-
cusers on the floor of the house were
telling untruths and declared that he
to pass legislation which would prac-
tically destroy the spOils system.
Not Political Move.
Criticism has been made of this order
on the ground that the motive was po
ltieal," said the president. Nothing
could be farther from the truth The
order was made before election and in
the interest of efficient public service. 1
have several times requested congress
to give me authority to put first, second
and third class postmasters, and all other
local officers, including internal revenue
officers, the customs offices, the United
States marshals and the local agents
OF the other departments under the
classification of the civil service law
by taking away the necessity OF con-
1irming service appointments by the
senate.
4 deeply regret the failure of con
gress to follow these recommendation.
The change would have taken out OF
politics every local office and would
have entirely cured the evils growing
out of what, under the present laws,
must always remain a remnant of the
spOils system"
Recommends Legislation.
The presidents third message of the
year was devoted largely to a review
of the accomplishments of several govern
ment departments not touched upon in
previous messages. and to recommended
tiOns for legislation. The president ad-
vOeated:
Legislation which would permit MEM
bers of the cabinet to sit in either house
of congress, with the right to enter into
debate and answer questions, but with
out a vote.
The adoption of the postmaster gen.
erals plan for readiustment of COM
pensatiOn to railways carrying mails,
especially in view of the conditions
which will exist undedr the parcels post
law.
A revision of the land laws to secure
proper conservation and at the same
time assure prompt disposition of land
that should be turned over to private
ownership.
Legislation affecting Alaska which
would provide for leases OF coal lands
and in respect to mining claims, the
disposition of oil, phosphate and potash
lands in the United Stataes.
An act of congress that would legalize
a court authorized to review decisions
on the pure food law such as are now
made bv the Remsen board.
Appeal for Pure Food Cases.
In this connection the president APP
proved the creation of the Remsen board
bv former president Roosevelt, but said
the time had come for congress to reeog-
nize the necessity for "a tribunal of APP
peaP in pure food cases.
''While we are struggling to suppress
an evil of great proportions like that of
impure food said the president, Eve
must provide the machinery in the law
itself to prevent its becoming an instrR-
ment of oppression, and we ought to en-
able those whose business is threatened
with humiliation to have some tribunal
and some form of appeal"

WANTS DIVORCE OF
WIFE SET ASIDE
Chicago Man Alleges That Her Pre-
sent Husband is Not n Proper
Nan to Rear a BOY.

Alleging among other things that c.
NJ Carr. a resident of Los Angeles,
Calf, the present husband of his for
mer wife, Eleanor Rae FreOlich, is,
among other things, a scoffer at rel-
gion and morals. Henry ]. FreOlich, of
Chicago, H., Wednesday filed a petit
ton in the saith district court asking
that the judgment Of divorce obtained
by his wife in the district court here
in November, 1911, be set aside. a new
trial granted, and he be given the Gus
tody Of their eight year old son, Henry
Ray Freolich. In the petition the
plaintiff names his former wife, now
Mrs. T. r Carr, and c. NJ Carr as de-
PENDANTS.
The plaintiff AYERS that on septem-
Der Is 1911, Mrs. Carr, then Eleanor
Rae FreOlich, filed a suit for divorce
against him and for the custody OF
their son. She was awarded both, the
plaintiff says.
At the time of the filing OF the suit
the plaintiff alleged that his wife rep
resented herself to be a bona fide in
habitant of the stOrte of Texas and a res
ident Of FL PasO county six months next
preceding the filing Of her petition for
In bringing the action for setting
aside the Judgment the plaintiff says
that his wife was not a bona fide in
habitant Of the state. and was not
resident Of El PasO county for the
length of time required by law.
The plaintiff alleges that the bona
fide residence of his wife was at Chi
cagO Ill, where he lived; that his wife
was unable to secure divorce there, and
for that reason came to Texas. In these
plans the plaintiff alleges she was as
sisted by her present husband whom
she intended to marry, he alleges. as
soon as she secured her divorce.
Her present husband the plaintiff
says, formerly resided at Chicago. but
recently moved to Los angeles. Carr,
he said had been married and divorced
three times before he married his wife.
The plaintiff alleges that his former
wife is dominated by bad influences on
the part Of Carr. and therefore is inca
pable Of exercising the proper influ-
ence over their son. For that reason.
he says. he wants his son. Carr, he
says, is a travelling dentist and has no
fixed place of abode. He has not the
means to give the son the proper edu-
cation, the plaintiff says. The plaintiff
AYERS that he has means and viii sur
round his son with the right atmOs-
phere and affections of a father.
