The Blue Ballot Amendment
was defeated in only seven out
of twenty six counties. The
Spanish American Countie S
adopted it by a two thirds major
ity. This shows very plainly
that the leaders Of the Republi-
can party in convention at Las
Vegas made a fatel mistake
when they opposed it's adoption.
No doubt they have seen their
mistake, and as political move,
would not do the same thing
again. This was not the only
mistake they made. They plac-
ed a man at the head Of their
state ticket that was not accept

their party 1t has been rumor-
ed that the Senate will try to
dictate some of Governor &C.
Donalds appointments, as it will
be necessary for that body to ap-
prove them before they go into
effect. 1t would be we'll for the
Senate to think we'll before they
commit another blunder. The
voters of this new state have
their eyes open, and the action
Of the senate as we'll as that Of
the house of delegates will be

any attempt on the parto either

Republican leaders had better
take warning. -Tucumcari Sun.

SL0GhN FOR

The Mountainair ChautauQua
now has a slogan which, in a
manner of speaking, is some slo-
gan and will be heard all over
New Mexico next summer. w.
M, Mccoy, secretary of the
Chautauqua, was in the city yes
terday and says that the plans
for next summers event are pro-
crossing rapidly and it is down
on the schedule to have the very
best thing of the kind ever seen
in the southwest. Mr.. mccoy
in selecting the slogan wisely
went to a first class source for it
and sent a number Of submitted
efforts to E. L. Vandgrift, edit
or of The Earth" The follow
ing letter received from Mr.. Van.
degrift speaks for itself:

w. M, Mccoy, Secretary,
Mountains,i1, n. M,
Dear Sir
The sub committed to whom
| referred your communication
for advice, selects No. 8, and
agree. 1t signifies popularity Of
your Chautauqua, anticipated
pleasure, reunions of old friends,
and the like, more than any 9th
er of the list submitted, which |
believe is a prestige ANEW Chau-
tauqua should establish before it
can get very far. In making a
selection, the subcommittee
narrowed the choice down to
fonr, and from these chose No.
8 The subcommittee was
Mrs. Vandegrift and our daugh-
ter, who, in the sitting process,
hesitated between No. 8 and No.
6, finally deciding upon No 8.
Then, without informing me of
their choice, the whole list was
submitted to me, and | too, Sc
lected No. 8. So you see No. 8
is the choice Of the editor Of
The Earth, and the unanimous
choice of this household.
Therefore,
Ho, ho, away for Mountain
air,
For all the other folks are
there
Thank you for your invitation
to come to your Chautauqua. |

He listened to his wife's chat as
she sat in her boudoir always think
ing what shock 1t would be when
the blow came.
And one day it came-though 1t
was not exactly the kind of blow he
had expected.
There was a prelude to Its deliv-
cry. It happened in his wife's bou-
doir. when Mrs. Albert Forshaw. now
a. successful dressmaker. came to
visit her old patroness.
She fell on her knees and kissed
her hand, big, earnest tears In her
eyes.
Her benefactress raised her gen.
tly. Could this be the wreck OF wo-
man she had seen lying In the
garnet?
II read all about your marriage.
How I hope you will always be
happy"
"Ah! 1 am happy; shall always
be happy! / have the dearest hus-
band in the world" She laughed
gayly in the fullness Of her Joy; then
checked herself, remembering the
tragedy OF the Others life.
Forgive me for parading my hap
piness. Your fate was so different.
Have you ever heard anything of-of
him? %
mo, nothing" Her eyes cleaned.
"But II did! All. / have dreamed
such revenges!"
You loved him?"
Eyes, loved him once; but now

She turned aside. hatred fierce
and relentless imprinted on her face.
And as she turned there was Albert
Forshaw, her husband, looking
straight at her. 1t was his portrait
on the mantel shelf, and 1t bore the
autograph. Gilbert Rhode Jeans"
So the great millionaire was Al
bert Forshaw, scamp and bigam-
list. What a revenge was here!
But-ye there was a but"
There was the woman as we'll as the
mantle woman who stood near to
her, the woman through whom she
was alive to-day, through whom she
was well nonrished, and warmly
clothed, through whom she lived no
longer In filthy garnet.
That scene in the garrett! She saw
it all again, and heard that gentle
voice saying, "How easily might fate
have ordained that you should be In
my place and i in yours; then yon
would have helped me. wouldn't
you?"
There are moments In life when
we seem to go through ages OF tor
ment. Here was this woman goaded
one way by the cry Of revenge. urged
the other by the soft voice of graft
tude.
1t was the next morning that the
blow fell upon bim-not the shat
terlng blow he had anticipated. but a
blow that left wound that would
not heal.
1t came in a long letter. Your
gold is dross,' she concluded; but
she is gold, true gold. and shall not
be furnished. Though | have bro
ken my oath TO n revenged, shall
take 1t gladly agsin II you blot one

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

In the Church Notices this week there
appears a notice which states that all
notices must be in at this Office not later
than Wednesday noon Of each week
This rule has become necessary at this
Office because of the tardiness of many
Of the contributors of that column in
getting their notices to us. 1t is Just as
easy to get them here early as to wait
until Thursday when we are rushed to
death in setting our county and other
local correspondence and by so doing
it conveniences this Office very much.
We are always glad to publish all notices
pertaining to church or charitable af-
fairs. and all that we ask is that they
be sent to this office early. If all of our
contributors will keep this in mind, they
will be assured Of having their notices
in each week, and viii also help US here
at the Office. All notices received later
than Wednesday noon viii be destroyed.
This rule will'be adhered to.

BOY HURT AT SCHOOL.

While playing on the balusters at the
school building last Tuesday about noon,
John Hearn, the young son of Baggage
master Hearn, fell and seriously hurt
his mouth. The boy was sliding down
the rail, when he came to a sharp turn.
Before he could steady himself, he had
fallen to the floor below. He landed
squarely on his mouth and blood ran
freely for awhile. The boy was taken
to the Office of DR.. Marshall, where the
injury was dressed. The teachers at the
school try to keep the children away
from these places while play, but once
in awhile they evade them and succeed
in sliding down stairs. 1t is dangerous
habit and this accident will, in all prob
ability, discourage others from trying
the same thing.
