ARE WE DELUDING OURSELVES?

Is the prosperity of the Mimbres Valeya myth? Now
honestly are people coming into this region and spending
good coin of the realm in improving the land? These
questions frequently asked by those in direct touch
with the publicity work of the Chamber of Commerce.
Such questions are best answered by few moments peru
sal of the register bearing the signatures of those who
have come to Deming to buy land and build homes.

TEDDY PUTS HIS FOOT IN Il

Colonel Roosevelt's alibi would
not stand the test in any court of
justice. Edward H. Hartman is
dead. Cornelius N. Bliss is dead.
Sidney Webster is dead. But
public memory is not, and neither
is the record.
The fact stands that letters
from Edward H. Hartman to
Sidney Webster. made public
several years ago. when both these
men were living, and when MIR.
Roosevelt's denial would have
been more effective and timely,
had he then seen Gt to make it,
stated in effect that Hartman had
raised. in the last days Of the
campaign of 1904, at the sugges-
ton Of Mr.. Roosevelt. an Immense
campaign fund and that this money
was spent to swing gh votes
in New York State to insure
Rooseelt's election. The sinews
Of war raised by Hartman am
oun ted to $3.50, 600 and it all came
from Wall street.
1t is disingeneous of Mr.. Roose-
welt to now plead that this money
was raised and used il behalf of
the candidacy of Higgins, the
Republican candidate for Governor
who likewise happens to be dead
and therefore, like the others,
unable to enter into any contro-
versy with the Colonel over the
matter. All Of Roosevelt's denials,
subterfuges and attempts to shift
responsibility to the shoulders OF
dead men cannot alter the undis-
puted facts that Mr.. Hartman
went to the White House at the
urgent invitation Of President
Roosevelt; that he returned to
New York az once and raised an
additional campaign fund of 5000,
000in Wall street, and that this
money was used to debauch the
electorate in the interest of the
republican ticket to benefit Higgins
possibly, but in Roosevelt's
interest also. unquestionatly.
AS practical man" Mr.. Rose
welt should have seen that this late
da "explnatl on" is not going to
help his case any. His friends see
it, il he does not, and the letter
wrung from the unwilling and
protesting Sh eldon. shifting the
load to the accomplishing
shoulders Of the dead. is generally
regarded as an egreRious blunder,
chargeable only TO the wonderful
egotism Of the man most con-
cerned and the desperation of his
candidacy for another presidential
nomination. -Humbo ldt Star.
