climb the mountain think it's
about ten miles by the time
they get back.
This party had a large tent

ARM|J0 JOINS
PROGRESS|vES

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 81
Some excitement in political cir.
cles was evident here today over
the announcement that George
w. Armijo, chief clerk for the
corporation commission, and a
lifelong Republican, had re-
signed his position and announced
his alliance with the Progressive
party.
1t is said that the members of
the corporation commission were
not exactly satisfied with Mr..
Armijo's work and the charge
has been freely made that the
chief clerk neglected his duties
and devoted too much time to
outside business.
Armijo has long been active in
Republican affairs in Santa Fe.
He was leading candidate for
secretary of state before the Las
Vegas convention, and failing to
secure the nomination he was
given place ON the ticket as a
candidate for place on the cor
poration commission, being the
only Republican defeated for
that office. He was appointed
chief clerk of the commission,
following it's organization, upon
the recommendation of the Re-
publican state executive commit
tee.
Other recruits to the Progress
sive party announced today are
Ricardo Alarid and Fred Delga-
do. Alarid has been prominent
in Republican councils while Del
gado has been equally prominent
in the ranks of the Democracy.
Il have no feeling against my
former political associates" said
Mr.. Armijo today, "and fully ap-
preciate all that they have done
for me, but everybody is joining
the new party and | want to get
in the game. Ninety-nine out of
every hundred people that | have
talked to recently are for the
Progressives. The change is
bound to come and | want to
align myself with the new party
and get in to the campaign vigor- ;
ously for the election Of Colonel
Roosevelt and the national and
state candidates of the Progress
sive party"
Mr.. Armijo returned yesterday
from Kansas City, where he rep j
resented the local lodge at the
national convention of the L.! al
Order of Moose. He served in '
Cuba with Colonel R R>osevelt as a !,
sergeant in Troop F of the Rough
Riders and has always been a
warm admirer of the former !,
president.

Gov. Eberhart Visits Prison.

Gov. A. O. Eberhart and a small
party of friends were in Saltwater
for few hours last Friday afternoon,
during which time they were guests
of Warden Wolfer. The visit was
of friendly nature and was spent in
inspecting the old and new prisons.
While here Gov. Eberhart inter-
viewed several inmates and had a
word of cheer for each of them.
Before leaving for St. Paul the Gov
ernor appeared at the entrance of
the cellhouse and reviewed the in
mates as they marched from the
shops to their cells. The trip to
and from the new prison was made
in the Warden's auto; while at that
institution the Governor expressed
himself as pleased with the progress
made in the building there.

understanding as to what should be
substantial justice. The writer
urged that there should be an effort
at getting together. We should
have uniform laws on marriage and
divorce. We should have uniform
law on embezzlements. on forgeries
and all other offenses, he urged.
The point he was trying to bring
out was forcibly illustrated in the
news columns of yesterday morn
ing's paper. There were two cases,
one from st. Joseph and one from
St. Paul, that emphasized the latti-
tude of American justice. The St.
Joseph man was hungry and he forg-
ed a check for 25 cents that he
might be able to buy breakfast. He
was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary. The St. Paul man
pleaded guilty to having embezzled
$4,000 of his employers funds. He
did not do it on the spur of the mo-
ment. He was1not hungry. His
speculations extended over nine
months and the money wasted in
drinking and gambling. Yet, on
recommendation of County Attor-
ney O'Brien, he was turned loose
provided he would agree to report
to the probation officer on the first
Mondays in October, February and
June for two years.
1t is possible that the cause of
justice and humanity may have been
furthered in both cases. If that IS
80, then it is evident that the theory
under which we have been working
us wrong; that it is folly to under
take to say what punishment should
be imposed. We have got away
from the notion that society is after
revenge in imposing penalties. 1t is
generally recognized that the wrong
doer should bs reformed if possible,
and at the same time it has been
supposed that justice should be SO
administered as to have deterrent
effect. In case man makes way
with $4,000, is fugitive from JUS
tice several months during which he
reforms himself, comes back and
apologies he does not need reform
ing. The deterrent that society
needs is obtained, however, by i'm
posing five years on an occasional
offender who steals a qnarter be
cause he is hungry.

By An Unmarked
Grave.

How fearfully she had cried when
he told her the little thing was dead.
He had felt sorry too; because she
was sorry; yet he remembered he
had felt that she ought to have been
glad. She had known from the first
that he was married, and yet some
how he had always thought of her as
a good girl. Strange how quietly
she had left him after the babe b d
died. He remembered the dull pain
he had felt when he had put her on
the west bound train. How white
and thin she looked and how alone;
and yet he remembered wi t b
shame that he had felt relieved, too.
What fool he had been to think
that he could blot out the memory
with drink! What was she thinking
of as they walked to the depot? He
hadn't thought of it at the time but he
remembered now that she had hardly
spoken a word. Well she probably
got along alright. What fool he
had been to get up in the middle Of
the night and walk out to such
place as this and bring back such
memories Strange too, how easy
he had found the grave, and ye he
had never seen it since that day
when they two alone had driven out
with the little box laid on their knees
between them.
What had become of her since
then? He hadn't even thought to
look at her railroad tt c k e t..
Spokane she said; but she had never
sent a word or a message. She had mt
much money either when she left,
Just few dollars and her railroad
ticket. He knew he had fallen very
low since then. Perhaps she too.
Lord, what chill there is in this
accursed place! Was that a shad-
ow? His hand shook as he wiped
the sweat from his forehead. He
cursed himself for his folly, and yet
he had strange sense that he was
not alone. Several times he half
turned to leave the spot but it always
seemed as if an invisible hand check
ed him and drew him back to the
little grave. He knew his nerves had
long since been shattered and in &
maudlin burst of self-pity, he bal
muttered a prayer for her and hin

he sneered at himself for being h (
fool he knew he was.

at his mothers k nee. A curiou
knowledge was born in him of tn
vastness of that mother love, the low
that had cried out in p a n throug

and he felt ashamed. How long b

Minneapolis as Mr.. Armour's is in
Chicago, took hold of the Falls of
St. Anthony, which were then in a
wild and un d ucate ed state, and
taught them to turn grind stones.
They have been doing it ever since
and have become so tame and con-
ventional that they are of no use
whatever for tourist purposes. But
they grind so much flour that Cana
da has had to be put under the plow
to keep them busy, and they have
caused Minneapolis to point with
pride to her bank deposits. The

TRAIL OF GASOLINE Is
FUSE FOR A POLICEMAN

One of the most remarkable cases Of
motor-car destruction took place in
Los Angeles, Cal, recently, when an
automobile in jolting over a street
car track sprung leak in it's gasoline
tank. The car travelled some little
distance before the driver became
aware of the trouble, in fact. the en-
CINE refused to operate from short
age Of fuel before the chauffeur motto
ed the leak. Leaving two young wom-
en- passengers in the car he got out to
investigate. He observed a trail of
fire approaching the way he had come,
and though he sprang to the rear OF
the car and tried to trample out the
fame. it enveloped the machine al
most instantly, and it was only by good
luck that the two occupants were res
cued.
It developed that a trafic police
man at the corner where the leak
started had observed puddle Of gaso-
line, and very sagaciously he struck a
match and applied it to the fluid to
see what would happen. He saw. The
trail Of gasoline acted as a fuse and
the fire ran after the car at a pace that
broke all speed laws. AS the tank
was empty, there was no explosion
but there was enough drip under the
wheels TO make fare that destroyed
everything infiammable about the cal
and left II a total wreck.
