| NOW WORRYING POLITICIANS
BRYAN, PATRONAGE, CABINET
AND BIG PARADE QUESTIONS.
Everyone of Them Full of Interest
and Causing Much Gossip Among
Incoming Congressman.

AHCOulIHS OOuSFSSSlneMs
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Four big
subjects are absorbing the minds and
the attention of returning congress
men as they pass through the iron
gates at the union station and see
the capitol dome loom up just ahead.
What cabinet place will VIM. J.
Bryan accept, if any, and will he try
to dictate President Wilson's admin
istration policy toward the tariff and
trusts after the latter takes hold of
the government reins?
Who will be selected in each of the
states to dictate the distribution of
federal patronage when the republic
can bosses go out of business on in
auguration day?
Will the selection of cabinet mem
bers be confined to well known poll
ticians or will the new president act
for himself and do his own choos-
ing?
And, lastly. in the District of Co
lumbia, where people talk but new
er vote, who will be named to lead
the grand Inauguration parade on
March 4th when it starts at the cap
itol and slowly winds its way to the
white house, the future home of Pres
ident Wilson?
Everyone of these subjects is brim
full of interest and is causing much
gossip in hotel corridors and else
where when the incoming congress
men meet and talk about how 1t
happened on November 9Th.
When Col Bryan got to Washing
ton Sunday night to make the prin-
cipal address at the laying OF the
cornerstone of the confederate monu-
ment at Arlington, newspaper men
bounced upon him as hungry dog
would a bone. They had expected
that he would give utterance to
something which might indicate what
the policy of the new president would
be toward the trusts, the tariff and
kindred questions, and most especial
ly toward the calling of an extra ses-
sion of congress, but with his we'll
known smile and his cordial greeting
he met the news hunters. And a
SIIltic anu COluldA e7AVCSAho WIS -
all they got. If Col. Bryan knows
anything about President-elect Will
sons plans he is not taking the pub
lie into his confidence.
Col. Bryan's address, which was
heard by 10000, showed him, if pos
sible, to be a bigger man than ever
before. There is not man in the
United States, barring none, who can
attract a bigger crowd than the Ne
braskan.
But regarding the question of po-
litical advisers to displace those in
the G. o. P. lineup, who soon go out
of business, Col Bryan knew moth
ing. He did not know who would
be called upon to tell the president
about appointments in the different
states. or did he know anything about
any of the men being discussed for
cabinet places.

DOUBTS CHERRY TREE YARN
A Highbrow of Princeton University
Regards the Story as Trashy.

Regards the STORY as IFaSpy'
The efficacy of the cherry tree
yarn is doubted by Professor Meeker
of Princeton. In an address before
the Congress of the American Prison
Association in Baltimore Professor
Meeker styled such stories as George
Washington and the cherry tree and
the boy who stole apples from the
old woman as trashy. He is sure
reading frivolous yarns makes people
worthless and wicked, and thinks the
population of prisons could be re-
duced by reforms begun in the
schools. Perhaps Professor Meeker
would be surprised to know how diff
ficult it is to find the cherry tree
and the apple story in the modern
school book.

Des Moines Up in Arms.

Des Moines.-Bishop Austin Down
ing of the Catholic diocese of Des
Moines agrees with Cardinal Carvali
that the present style in women's
dresses is astounding. Bishop Down
ing says:
"Women's gowns grow more i'm
modest every year because they are
designed in a country which is frank
ly immoral. The French openly dis
cuss subjects which are not even
whispered in America.
Il must confess that l am often
startled by some of the gowns of the
day The boldness of them is start
ling. Such gowns are displeasing,
even offensive to me"

Removed School
Building

Wagon Mound, N. NJ. March
50.-A good sized neighborhood
row has resulted in District so
over the action of the school
board in moving the school build
ing from its original site to a new
location several miles distant. The
building was moved Saturday
with r. K.Odell's traction engine.
Various stories are current as
to the cause of moving the build
ing. One is that one of the mem
bers Of the board, who has no re-
ligious inclinations, wanted the
building moved because the
people Of the district were hold
ing church services in it. The
people of the district bought an
organ and u number of song
books, which have always been
left in the building for the bene.
fit of the school as well as the
church. The organ was moved
with the building, but later was
recovered and taken to the E. f.
Rindfusz house, where church
services win be held.
The action Of the board has re-
suited in a great deal of hard
feeling and one fist fight, with
the chances of more to follow. A
member of the board and one of
the men in the district exchang-
ed compliments, and later blows.
Arrests are expected to follow as
u result Of the fight.

Farmer Dies
Suddenly

Wilson Morris died at his home
eight miles south of Roy, Sunday
evening, March 81st, at five O
clock. He has long been an in.
valid but his death came suddenly
and Unexpectedly.
Wilson Morris was born at
Chester Hill, Ohio, July 2lst,
1S45. In August, 1883 he was
married to Martha Wood, at
Skiddy, Kansas. Three sons
were born to this union A. Waldo,
Halland J. and G. Floyd. The
second preceded his father in
death eight ssince. The other
with their mother survive to
mourn the death of a kind and
indulgent father, a faithful and
loving husband and the communi-
ty joins them in loving memory
OF a true man, loyal citizen and
a steadfast friend.
Last June Mr.. Morris and his
son, Waldo arrived in Roy and
afew days later they filed on
government land near La Cinta
Canyon. They built a house and
sent back to their former home
at Dwight Kansas for the wife
and mother and their personal
effects, and established their
home here. The sympathy of a
host of friends here and in sever
al eastern states where they have
lived is extended to the bereaved
family. They will remain here
as their interests are here and
the two stalwart sons will be a
comfort and protection to the
mother in her declining years.
The funeral was heli at the re.
silencc Mcnaag, April 2nd and
interment was made at a site
chosen by the deceased on his
homestead overlooking a most
beautiful landscape of canyon
and plain.
Friends of the family were
present with sympathy and assist
ance at the last sad rites.

For
Next Senator

Santa Fe, N. NJ, April o.
When word was received here
from Washington this afternoon
that Albert B. Fall had drawn
the senatorial term that expires
next March, William II. Andrews
Immediately announced his can
didacy as Falls successor. 1t
was the withdrawal of Andrews
from the race last week that
made possible the election of
Fall and Catron.
The Spanish Americans follow
ing Andrews announcement be-
gan to line up their supporters,
insisting that they, too, gave
way to the selection of the first
two senator's Of the state, and
consequently they now should be
permitted to name one of their
race us a successor to Fall.
There is an erroneous impress
sion that the legislature at its
present session may elect a sue.
cessor to Senator Albert b. Fall,
who drew the term as United
States senator expiring March 4,
1913. The legislature that will
meet in Santa Fe in January of
next year will be composed of
the membership as now, but the
United States statute controlling
the mode of electing senator's
says:-The Legislature of each
state which is chosen next pre-
ceeding the expiration of the
time for which any senator was
elected to represent such state in
congress shall, on the second
Tuesday after the meeting and
organization thereof proceed to
elect a senator in congress. .'Ihe

Palm Sunday

Last Sunday was the Sixth
Sunday of Lent and the first day
of Holy week. Its observance
in commemoration of Christ's
triumphal entry into Jerusalem,
is as old us the fourth century in
the Eastern Church, and as old
as the fifth or sixth century in
Western. BY the sixth and
seventh century formal process
sions had become customary,
which the Greek and Roman Cat
holic Churches have retained.
The popular observance of the
day by carrying branches OF
willow or othertrees continues in
many places today even among
the Anglican Churches.
The Palm is a symbol of vic.
tory and was profusely used
when Christ made his triumphal
entry into Jerusalem.

The School
Election

The school district election
held here last Monday resulted
in the election of J. Henry Mitch
ell. There we're two candidates,
one heading the Peoples Ticket
and the other the Citizens Ticket.
Mr.. Mitchell was elected on the
Citizens Ticket while W. S. Wane
ran on the peoples Ticket. The
election marked a sense of friend
ly rivalry between the contes-
tants and the voters in general,
including the ladies, forty of the
fair sex casting votes for their
choice The result was close and
the triumphant candidate was
not elected until the last votes
were cast, winning by 7 majority.
This is the first time that an
outsider has had the opportunity
of serving as a school director
for district 33 and we know that
Mr.. Mitchell will make us a good
director. Much praise is due
the retiring member, Mr.. H.
Goodman who has filed the re.
sponsible position of school
director for the last six years,
taking the district out of bank
ruptcy and making it the envy
of all other county districts. Roy
today has the most up.to-date
school district in the whole coun-
ty, if not in the State, consider
ing that we are small village 80
miles from Mora, the County
Seat.

ing as able a man as Mr.. Rudolph

1t has always been cur bad luck
to have deputy-assessors that

Mr.. Rudolph intends to assess
everybody liable to to assess
ment and every law abiding citi-

If you are assessable, make hon

Custody

j. W. Wallace, a fugitive from
justice of the state of California
was arrested Wednesday. at the
Mills Ranch and Resort company,
Is miles northwest of Roy, OF
which he has been foreman for
the past three months, by Deputy
United States Marshall, j. H,
Smith, of Albuquerque.
The crime that Wallace is charg-
ed with took place in San Fran
ciso, CAL, on the 23rd. of Sep
tember, 1911, when a doctor nam
ed John Grant Lyman was ar
rested in San Francisco on the
charge of using the mails to de-
fraud, and while in custody of a
marshall made his escape. Meet
ing up with Wallace, the doctor
induced him to engage an auto.
mobile and the two proceeded to
leave the country. They were

and removed to the county Jail,
at Kalamath and lodged in cell
with several other prisoners. On
the night of September Both, the
prisoners dug their way through
the walls and made their escape.
The doctor was caught a short
time afterwards and sentenced to
a term of Is months in the feder-
al prision.
While talking to q representa-
tive of the Spanish-American
Wallace protested he had moth
ing to do with breaking Jail, that
he was forced to leave by the
other prisoners, who consisted Of
two murderers,t two train robbers
and q horse theft.
i
Wallace came to the Mills
Ranch from Denver about three
months ago and since that time
has been foreman of the ranch
and leading a good life. He is
ayoung man of 81 years of age
and does not seem to be a bad
man. He wrote to a cousin a
short time ago telling him where
he was and what he was doing
and claims the cousin informed
the authoritiesof his whereabouts
which led to his arrest. He de-
nounced the treatment he receiv-
ed at the hands of the Oregon
officials and commended the
courteous treatment received
from Deputy Marshall Smith of
New Mexico.
