we uoupC very 'mucn the advisable
lty OF the progressive party of this
state in nominating a complete state
ticket as was done at the Fargo con-
ventfon. We attended this convention
not as delegate, but as represen-
oative of the press, and took consid-
cradle pains before the convention to
sound number Of the delegates on
the subject. Out of score or. more

One or two thought it best to nomin-
ate a complete state ticket. We don Il
know just who it was that mixed the
political medicine, but suspect that it
was meme other than Judge Lauder.
IT Colonel Roosevelt advised this. we
oelie.e that he did not understand 10
cal ccpditiopss very well, for it would
have been far..easier Ito carry the

this paper, like thousands of others
who participated in the primaries does
not propose at this time to turn down
the nominees without good cause. Mr..

most fairly and we believe that he
will be elected with an overwhelming

Another states attorney, this time
Dudley, L. Nash, of Ward county, has
arrived. at the conclusion that he can.
not, afford to serve the commonw cath
for the stipend which the law allows
and he has accordingly rendered his
resignation. One Of the ridiculous
phases of our government, city, county,
state and national. is, that we. are.
continually seeking bralny men for
public office and then, when We have
found them and elected or appointed
them, We proceed to pay them about
one-ffth the salary they would have
made had they remained private citi-
zens. This is particularly noticeable
IN the Office Of states attorney in this
state. A good lawyer, attending strict
" to business, can make in this state
from $4,000 to $4,000 each year. The
various counties of +his tate only paw
such a man in the office of states at
torney, from $1,000 to $4,000 per year.
One result Of this system is that the
corporations get all the best lawyers.
Another result is that the counties get
the legal hacks, men whose earning
capacity in the law is $500 per year
or less. If by any chance a capable
attorney is elected to the office of
states attorney, he soon finds out his
mistake and his resignation follows.
IT an Individual or corporation can
afford to pay for good legal advice,
then surely the counties throughout
the state, can afford to pay. at, least
as much, or little more. The COM
monwealth should have first call on
the brains and services of its citizens
if only for its own protection. If this
cannot he done, the office of states
attorney should be abolished and first
class attorneys retained from time to
time, as legal entanglements arise.

is in the Mckinley county Jail in
Gallup, accused of being the slayer
of Brakeman Edward 3. Moore. who

division terminal. Lopez was ar
rested by Undersheriff Pat Dugan

Lopez being high. The $500 reward
offered by the Santa Fe for the arrest

lish women have been arrested by til,

breaks here last night on the arriva

confirmation of Clarence B. Edwards

Wetherspoon as major general in the

case of General Edwards. who until
recently was chief of the bureau Of
insular affairs, many senators believe
he has had too little experience in the
line of the army, while in the case
of Wetherspoon. the objection is that
his advancement to major general

SHAPIRO TELLS A FEW FACTS
SAYS HE KNEW POLICEMEN
WERE TO OCCUPY CAR
RENTED BY HIM.
AFRAID OF The FORCE
SAYS, HOWEVER, THAT HE WILL
TELL THE DISTRICT AT
ToRNEY EVERYTHING.

New York, July 1s.-The murde
plot that brought Herman Rosentna
to his death that the gambler Nigh
tell no tales, is today being brough
closer to the police system. VIII
liam Shapiro, part owner of the .mur
der car" is giving the public prose
cutor information that strengthens
the belief that the staying of Rosen
thai did not spring from the enmity
of gamblers.
Shapiro admits that when his mot
or car was engaged ne was told that
policemen had knowledge OF what
was going to happen and that nobody
was in any danger. Bald Jack"
Rose, gambler and friend of Police
Lieutenant Becker and who surren-
dered himself to the police, has CIV
en- the name of a gambler and gun
fighter who was in the car the night
that Rosenthal was shot down in
front of the xEotel Metropole. His
name is Schapps, and detectives are
securing the city for HIM.
What Rose told deputy Police Com
missioner Dougherty makes the po-
lice official feel quite anxious to know
more. about "Bridgie' Webber, pool
room keeper and friend of Rosentnal.
Rose said when he left the car up
town he dropped in on Webber but
later it appears that Weber turned
up at the Hotel Metropo1e just be-
fore Rosenthal was shot and there
shook hands with the gambler. Web
Der also was seen at the motel after
the shooting. Shapiro is willing to
tell more of the circumstances that
led up to the shooting of Rosenthal.
but he won't tell them to the police.
Shapiro, through mis- counsel, ad-
mits that he is in bad situation and
hopes that he will be dealt with len
iently If he tells all he knows of the
murderers and the killing. He is |
willing to take his chances with the
district attorney, but he won't talk to
the police. For the first time the
name of big Jack" Seelig, the east
side gang leader and gambler, who re-
Gently was shot by "Cnick" Triggs,
gangster, was brought into the case
today. The district attorney this af-
ternoon had Shapiro and Louis Libby
brought to his office from the Tombs
and was closeted with them for near
" an hour A private detective was

I'd any new information from them as
