SCENE FROM "THE PENALTY"
LYCEUM THEATRE.

"The Penalty" which opens four
days engagement at the Lyceum
Theatre, Toledo, starting with next
Sundays matinee, and including a
Csc matinee Tuesday, is a play which
affords the artist chance to work
to advantage; it is one which every
man, woman ana grown child in the
country should see. 1t contains
human sympathy and teens with life
and energy, dealing with the evil of
secret divorces, secret sin and the
fallacy of some society. 1t is so
cleverly put together, that the audit
ors are kept in a state of expectancy
until the climax is reached, which
leaves an impression that is lasting,
and no one can witness the produc-
ton without being benefited to an
degree, morally and
mentally.

BIGELoW ELECTED PRESIDENT.

After spirited contest Rev Her
bert bigelow, the preacher apostle of
the initiative and referendum, was
elected President of the Constitution
Convention, while liquor lobbyists
and attaches of the Harmon admins
tration swarmed upon the floor of the
House of Representatives at the first
session of the convention and deliver
ed barely enough votes to elect him.
President Bigelowis said to have
promised in advance many of the
choice committee appointments and
this was an important asset in his
campaign that resulted in victory only
after half dozen unwilling members
had been cudgeled into line. Person
ally, the ak men who switched from
other candidates to make the election
of Bigelow possible, were opposed to
him, but delivered their votes to beat
D. T. Anderson, the Youngstown can
didate, who loomed large with 49
supporters. Mr.. Anderson is con-
slstent temperance advocate and one.
of the leaders in the personal workers
movement that was inaugurated in
Youngstown following a Billy Sunday
revival in that city.
In direct opposition to the stand he
has heretofore taken in such matters,
Bigelow now insists on having the
power to appoint all committees, thus
obtaining a Czar-like power in the
conyention equal to that which he
and his followers haye always oppos-
ed when exercised by Speaker Cannon
in the National House of Representa-
tives. and to which many of the con-
vention delegates are opposed.

The Tariff,

The word "tariff" traces itself back
TO Tarifa, Moorish name for a fort
ress on southern promontory of
spaln' running into the Straits of Glib
raitar' and commanding the entrance
to the Mediterranean. From this Tar
ifa the Moors, during their dominion
In Spain, were wont to watch the
merchant ships OF the nations as they
passed into or out of the Mediterran-
can, and, making sally therefrom,
used to levy duty on the merchandise
carried by the ships. 1t was from this
practice that the application of the
word came into use

REASON OF SMALL FAMILY
In Large Communities the Struggle
for Existence Already Is Much
Too Severe.

1t must be remembered that as in
crease of population progresses. the
mere fact of increase creates new
conditions. These in turn may check
or destroy earlier tendencies. Thus,
out OF the great increase in popula-
tion in our time has come already at
least one significant fact. This may
be termed ''the pressure Of popula-
tion." It may be defined as the gen.
eral instructive realization of large
numbers. Expression of this realiza-
ton appears In the decreasing belief
that personal responsibility rests
upon the individual to rear a large
family, or even, in many cases, to be-
come a parent. Mere numbers-the
pressure of humanity on all sides, es-
pecially In the large cities-constitute
ever-present evidence to the average
man and woman that there are people
enough, and the struggle for existence
Is too severe already to be increased
by unnecessary burdens. In conse-
quence, there has arisen a rather re-
markable and widespread tendency,
now clearly evident in most of the
larger communities Of Europe, volun-
tarily to limit the family. The effect
of this tendency Is most marked in
France, where 1t has produced a pres-
ent state of equilibrium of population
liable to be changed at any time into
positive national decrease. Tmita-
tion of family has also appeared in
other parts Of the world and has
caused much concern in Australia,
where very small total white popu-
lation Is shown. It should not be
overlooked, however, in connection
with the apparently exceptional prob
lem presented by Australia, that the
southern continent seems never to
have sustained q large population.
The aborigines of Austria, New Zea-
land and Tasmania were not numer-
Gus, and those that remain are dying
out so rapidly as to suggest a very
frail racial grasp upon existence
The Atlantic.

Every farmer should arrange his
work 80 that he can come to the
Farmers Institute and be sure to
bring his wife along. The institute
is the farmers convention for the pur
pose of increasing his knowledge in
his profession and advancing his
commercial interests. Every class of
business men of the country hold
their conventions and gain valuable
information for the prosecution of
their business and the welfare of the
farmer can be enhanced by such con-

The'present cold weather calls to
mind the fact tnat thin clothing and
poor houses are liable to cause much
suffering among the poor and it is
we'll for those who are blessed with
allsthe comforts of life to look around
them and see if there is child or old
person who may need little help to
make them comfortable. A little
cash or a few comfortable clothes
worthily bestowed will tend to warm
the person and send thrill of glad

more than the price it costs.

DAD AND ME.

Here is some good gospel by the
Bentztown Bard of the Baltimore Sun:
Father and me like to go off together,
Specially in spring when its good
fishin' weather.
And talk about things just like I
was old
AS he is, and had right to be told
The truth like man is. He calls
plum plums,
Aud calls spade spades, and that's
why we are chums-
He don't try to fool me or show what
he thinks.
| believe everything he says when
he winks.
In these lines there is gentle hint
to those oblivious fathers, who neg
lect the companionship of their boys,
and actually abandon them to their
fate. 1t is an awful mean thing to do
and promotes the ruin OF thousands
Of boys. There is nothing so good
as their own companionship. We in
clude the father, He saves himself
as much as the boy by cultivating a
genial companionship and endeavor'
ing to enjoy life together When a
father cannot get along with his boy,
we'll, don't believe the boy is entirely |
10 blame for the difference.

Mayor Corbett to receive it on be-
half of Deming.
Meantime. they marveled at the
stable character Of the little city; at
the splendid business buildings, the
complete character of their stocks,
and the general air of prosperity
and the enthusiasm that moves the
people. All hammers in Deming are
confined to the hardware stores and
il is said that they make carpenters
drive nails with their fists; the
knocker was buried long ago; every
body is a booster and boosts.
Boosting, cooperative boosting
has put Deming on the map as the
livest town for its size in the coun-
try, and the same sort of boosting
is keeping it there. The Fl Pasoans
thought they were enthusiastic; that
they were boosters. but they have
come to believe in the last hour or
so, after arriving here, that they are
the merest amateurs. II was a
most pleasant visit between the FL
Pasoans and the Deming people and

back onto the special at 3 o'clock
and continued westward, according

the present generation, but the peo-
pie who come in after awhile will
have to help pay for the work and
we will have the use of the roads
while We are keeping them up and
the land values will be increasing.
In Texas in the month Of Febru-
airy. just FIVE counties voted to is
sue bonds for good roads to t h e
amount of 81, 500, ,OOO.OO and We are
asked to vote on the issuing of $780,
00.00, for the entire state Of New
Mexico. Arizona. at the last legis-
lature, made a cash appropriation
for good roads of $3.50. .000.0 90, one
half of the amount We ask for in
New Mexico at this election. Ar
rangements are now being made in
Arizona to authorize, at the next
Legislature bond issue Of S., 5,0O0.-
900. 90. On November 9Th. Colora-
do with a total assessed valuation Of
six times that Of New Mexico, votes
on road bonds to the value of Sl0.-
600 .0O0.0 90. or twenty times the bond
issue asked for at this election in
New Mexico. These states under
stand the value of good roads and
that they are making the best in
vestment they can possibly make
when they put money into roads, for
last year in Colorado whose roads
are known, and who intends building
more of them, reaped over 81 5000
10000 from tourists entering that
state. Every dollar expended in
building good roads carries 81 %
worth of the best advertising to the
outside world, for roads are the
certain index to investors and pros
pective settlers of the condition Of
the country and one of the first
questions asked by such men is,
How are your roads,"
And now, that We have presented
a reasonable and safe plan by which
good roads can be built throughout
the state, without increasing the tax
levy in any way whatever, il GER
tainly seems that We can have no eX.
cuse for not snatching this 5,O0O,-
600 90 and investing il, in what will
return a greater dividend than any
other form Of investment now with
in our reach. This county will get
from this $500, 10000 in proportion
10 the amount il pays into the state
road fund under the one mill levy
now being assessed and collected.
Remember that if this $500, 600. 90
bond issue is voted for and carried
at this election the tax levy will not
bc increased and our taxes will be-
no higher. There are no reason
why single vote should be put in
against this bond issue.
