MAY GO OUT
OF PARTY

Governor Wilson will not ad-
here strictly to the old plan OF
appointing political leaders and
party workers who would seem
to have earned recognition by
their achievements in behalf of
the party. That much can be
stated definitely.
Instead he will select men who
have been CONSPICUOUS for their
ability as executives, and who
possess the qualifications neces-
sary to the successful admins
tration of affairs. The character
of cabinet officers the Governor
will select, even if he has to go
outside party lines.
This is the first line the public
has had on the next cabinet. 1t
was given by the Governor him
self in a discussion of extracts
from his History of the Ameri-
can People. E."

Ought to be Kept Busy.

Byron Gardner and w. G.
Pfeiffer have entered into part
nership and have purchased
through R. S. Teeple of the Arm
strong Mfg. Co., of Waterloo,
Iowa, a heavy well-drilling ma
chine. This machine is the best
obtainable and is one of the walk
ing beam and cable type. 1t
has a capacity of six hundred
feet.
Mr.. Gardner is an expert drill
er. having dug several successful
flowing wells at the Headquar-
ters Ranch. Mr.. Pfeiffer has
had little experience but is a good
mechanic and their business
should be successful.
This is a big step in the right
direction for this section of the
country. When the people real
ize that they can take up under
the Desert Act a quarter section
of any of the fertile lands in the
Little Colorado, Rio Puerco or
La Rouix Valleys at total cost
of about $500. 90 including a deep
we'll and that this land would be
worth from $75. 5.OO to $1,000 per
acre within a year, then this Sec
ton will be rapidly settled.
Several parties have already
engaged the services of Gardner
and Pfeiffer and the first well
will probably be sunk by Henry
Scorse on his La Rouix ranch.
Mr.. Scorse proposes to farm this
ranch extensively next season.

Same as Men Folks.

At a meeting of women in
New York, when a ruling of the
chairlady was questioned from
the floor, she walked right out
of the chair and said that the
lady who was not satisfied with
her ruling could have the chair
herself. Another lady who was
present said: "The whole thing
Is disgusting and no better than
men would do Then there
was trouble in earnest, for the
third lady was informed that she
could have said nothing meaner.

The Christmas Doll.
(Original.)

The air is full of music,
'Tis the merry Christmas time;
The children's happy laughter
Miugles with the joyful chimes.
And l sit here idly dreaming
Of old Christmas days gone by
When Santa and his reindeer
Used to ride the wintry skyI
Oh the treasures that he left usl
But to me the dearest thing
Was ever the sweet dolly
That he never failed to bring!
Her hair was golden cobwebs,
And her eyes of azure hue,
Her cheeks like crimson roses
When they sparkled with the
dew.
From the ribbon on he f1axen hair
Down to her slippered feet,
She was perfect in her loveliness,
A thing of joy completed
Oh, gazed at her in wonder,
Half afraid she was a dreaml
Then l closer drew and tou ched
her:
With a joyful little scream.
l clasped her to my bosom.
She was real and my own!
No Joy has been more perfect
That my heart has ever known!
Dear Santa, weary years have
passed
Since you have come my way,
They tell me that you are a myth,
With your treasure laden sleigh
The years have brought me many
things,
Deep joy and binding pain,
l would give them back, and be
tonight
A little child again!
With simple faith in Santa Claus
And love for everything,
I'd watch for the dear dolly
That you would not fail to bring.

MARY Had a Little Farm.
(Original.)

Mary had a little farm,
AS level as the floor;
She placed on it a fancy price,
And struggled to get more.
She kept the land until one day
The country settled up;
And where a wilderness had been
There grew a bumper crop.
Then Mary rented out her land,
(She would not sell, you know
And waited patiently about
For prices still to grow.
They grew as population came,
And Mary raised the rent;
With common food and raiment
now,
She would not be content.
She built her up a mansion fine,
Had bric-a-brac galore;
And every time the prices rose.
She raised the rent some more.
What makes the land keep Ma
ry so?"
The starving people cry;
Why Mary keeps the land you
know"
The wealthy would reply.
And so each one of you might be
Wealthy, refined and wise;"
If you would only buy some land
And hold it for rise.

No Reason for the Act.

The Huntington Herald4D Dispatch
shows fmpatience with Governor
Glasscock for his act in trying to in
ject into state politics a boom for
Theodore Roosevelt for another
term as President Of the United
States, and that newspaper sh.own
quite clearly that there is no reason
for any such precipMancy. The
Huntington newspaper comments
thus:
Governor Glasscock may be right,
or he may be wrong in supposing
that the vast majority of the Re
publican voters of West Virginia ia
vor, as a personal matter, Theodore
Roosevelt for the Presidency. How
ever this may be, and it certainly is
doubtful to give the governor the
very best of the argument, Governor
Glasscock must admit that President
Taft's course as executive head OF
the nation has been wise, conserva-
Give and rich in volume of its con-
structive craftsmanship. Mr.. Roose-
velt's policies were wise in their irf-
ception and we're, in almost every
instance, wisely executed. 1t must
be acknowledged, however, by even
Mr.. Roosevelt's most devoted par
tisans, that the outline of President
Taft's official course will show as
great a loyalty and devotion to the
great principles for which Mr..
Roosevelt stood while President, and
that his record as statesman of
judicial breath and patriotism will
bear even the severest test that can
be applied. While yielding to the
dictates Of sane progressive prln-
ciples, he has held himself aloof
from radicalism. He has sought
with assiduous ardor to secure a
prompt and fearless enforcement of
all the laws, and his administration
will go down in history as a period
rich in interpretative revelations.
We believe. that if it shall be shown
that a majority OF the voters of the
country prefer to call back Col.
Roosevelt into active leadership,
no man will acqutesce more cheer
fully in the popular demand than
will President Taft. But, as vas
said IN the: beginning, there is no
foundation for such action other
than that which may be based upon
popular within, and this without
derogation to Col. Roosevelt's fine
