clared that once he had adhered to the
doctrine that the only way to save
souls was the individual smethod, Ito
go out and save one man at time,
like taking a few people off a ship
while the ship is sinking" as he sue
cinctly put it, And then he told how
religious leaders are beginning to
realize that the work is greater than
this method can accomplish, that So
cial forces must be regulated, that
churches must be vitaliZed, stirred up,
fired by new enthusiasm and definite
practical work.
Mr.. Smith did not mince words in
declaring that too many churches
nowadays are the victims of dry-rot,
that they need red blood and fire, and
yet he stopped long enough to pay
anything but a flattering tribute to
what he calls volcanic evangelical
ton. He made it quite plain that he
does not believe in the itinerant evan
gelists as tho men who do the great
est work in saving souls. -....ss.
= 1T is the people who live in a COM
munity. who stay there, who do the
work-you people in Honolulu who
must do the work here!" he shouted.
This Is a serious hour In Christian
ity," he asserted, and went on to say
that the churches must wake to the
fact that they are not holding the
men, that they are not keeping up
with the rest of the world in forward
strides. But he tempered this a mo-
ment later by declaring that the
churches are already waking to the
necessity for action ss
Declaring that the crusade must be
one with fight in IT, Mr.. Smith as
serted amid loud applause. THE sa-
loon must go; you've got to get rid
of the saloon! The white slavery bus
mess must be driven from your
midst. The inequalities of society
which make men think they have not
q fair chance in life have got to stop"
II was in this direct fashion that he
drove his points home.
e. w. Peck, the basso of the excel
lent male quartet which accompanies
Smith and Robins, and who is an ex-
pert in community extension work.,

those present to come to the Institutes,

tail.

paign, telling Of the great success,
which III has met on the mainland, and
also how 1864 cities, both large snd
small, took up the work and gave u
tdeir undivided attention He went
on TO tell of the great plan which was
formulated whereby the movement was
to be carried to a wider field, including
the Orient and other foreign countries,
and also Honolulu.
In his address, Mr.. Smith took as
his subject What Think You Of
Christi" anG spoke, in part, as fol-
lows:
you will remember the incident
which happened near the close Of
Jesus life when he was burdened with
the powers which were determined to
destroy him. The people came from
Rome and asked him questions with
the intention of attempting to ensnare
him so that the powers at Rome
could then deal with him. They ask
ed him questions concerning the
taxes at the time, and he was asked
whether or not the Jews should pay
tribute to Caesar, and Christ asked
them to, bring him a coin. When he
noticed that the inscription Of the coin
was that of the Caesars, he said:
When under Caesar, pay tribute to
Caesar, but when under God, pay tri-
butte to Cod" The people went back
to their city defeated and finally hir-
ed a lawyer. and Christ said to the
lawyer: What think you of Christ. "
And the lawyer went away defeated.
This consider as the most import
ant question which any man will ever
have to answer from the cradle to the
grave Any man that will come out
and say like a man that his religion is

Powerful pleas for practically and
red-blood in latter-day religion were
made last night By Fred B. Smith, Ray
mond Robins and E. w. Peck at the
dinner at the Commercial club which
launched the active weeks work of
the Men and Religion Campaigners
here.
One hundred and forty, men promi-
nent in business or professional or Of
fetal life here, sat down at the tables
and for two hours listened to ad-
dresses from the three visitors that
went straight to the hearts of those
who heard them. 1t was an unusual
assemblage and an unusual program.
Among those who gathered for the
opening of the campaign were Gov
ernor Frear, Bishop Restarick, Bishop
Harris, a noted Methodist travelling on
the China; DR.. Doremus Scudder, J. P.
Cooke, president of the planters as
ISOLATION; and prominent men of all
businesses and eallings. Many Japan
csc, including editors of the Japanese
papers, attended the dinner, and a
number of Chinese also were present.
Without tricks. OF oratory or flour
ish of adjectiyes, but with great earn
estness that amounted at times to We
llemence, Messrs. Smith and Robins
spoke to the men gathered before
them. +
Mr.. Robins, a noted social welfare
worker and for many years one who
has led the fight for better conditions
N one of Chicago's worst slums,
spoke briefly along the lines in which
his work falls. He sketched the
growth of the necessity for social con-
troll as we'll as indiyidualistic control,
declaring that the challenge OF mod
ern times is for a religion that will
mean something to the man in the
blast-furnace and the woman at the
sweatshop sewing machine as well as
the man OF the so-called upper
classes.
Touching briefly upon. various ele-
ments that go to make communities
better places In which to live, he de-
clared that rotten police system is
above the purely partisan level, and
that industries must pay a decent liv-
ing wage.
You must have minimum wage
standard so regulated that the women
who toll will not be driven by ecopom-
ic pressure into the pitfalls of vice
and crime he declared. He dwelt on.

to the army authorities In connection
with the landing Of the steamship
Cleveland last night Soldiers In uni
form were showed aside by the police
on guard at the entrance of the Ala
kea dock, and denied admittarce to
the upper gallery leading to the
steamers side, while men in civilian
clothes were allowed to pass freely
and without question to and from the
gangway to the street. No explana.

discrimination, although several sol
diers tried more than once TO pass up
the stairway, to r,eet friends whom
they believed were on the ship.
Complaint. of Long Standing. s5
That soldiers in uniform land both
enlisted men and officers serving in
Hawaii are denied the alternative Of
wearing civilian clothes at any time
are treated with scant courtesy in pub
lie places, no matter how exemplary
their behavior, is a complaint that has
been made so many times Of late that
it is believed army authorities will
take 1t up for definite action. The
situation here is likened to that which
developed on the east coast several
years ago, when sailors in uniform
were excluded from public dance halls
at Newport, R. l., and Admiral Higgin-
son. backed by President Roosevelt,
made an issue of the proper respect
due to tn, Uniform, and forced the pro-
prietors Of amusement places to ac-
cord sailors and soldiers the same
privileges and courtesies extended to

now in force provides that hunt

the sun goes down. This is a

Tax Assessments for Curry
County.

The following figures show
the actual cash value of real es-
tate in Curry county sold during
1912 and 1913, and the assessed
valuation Of the same land.
These figures were prepared
by the railroad company.
In Curry county in 1912, in
acreage property, there were 40
transfers involving $50, $50,
which property was assessed for
S12, $50 or 24.3 per cent. In
1913 there were 46 sales involv-
ing 5000 which was assessed
at Sl1. 435 or 1873 per cent. In
lot property in 1912, there were
80 transactions involving $27, ,245
which was assessed at $5S35, or
21.4 per cent. In the same class
of property in 1913 there were
% transfers in which the land
was valued at $24,11O, but
which was assessed at S5225 or
21.7 per cent.
During 1912 there were 80
transfers with a consideration of
$40, S22 which could not be found
on the 1912 assessment roll, and
in 1913 there were 80 transfers
involving $37, ITO which could
not be located on the 1913 as
sessment roll.
In 1912, there were $3.50 acres
which sold for an average of
ST. 9S and the average assess
ment Of this land was 81. SO per
acre. In 1913 1880 acres sold
for an average of $754 an acre
and was assessed at $1.42 an
acre.
In conclusion the railroads
suggest that the assessment on
Curry county land be increased
773 per cent, and 53.5 on lots to
equal one-third value.

About GAO Acre

Some time ago the News urg-
ed the farmers of Curry Coun-
ty, who were interested in the
passage of Congressman Fer
gusson's enlarged homestead
bill to write letters either direct
to the Congressman or to the
NEWS which would forward
same, with regard to their views
in the matter.
Only about thirty or thirtyfve
responded in writing the NEWS
and these letters were trans
mitted with the following letter
Of explanation:
Mr.. H. B. Ferguson,
House of Representatives
Washington, D. G.
I am enclosing herewith about
thirty or thirty five letters writ
ten by the farmers of Curry
County who are interested in
the passage of your GAO acre
homestead bill which / under
stand you are to Introduce in
congress soon. This measure
is a popular one and would be a
great relief to the settlers of
this semi-arid country as it
would enable them to have
enough land to do a small stock
farming business, which /
think, from a life time expert
ence in New Mexico, will ulti-
mately prove their salvation.
You will note that the letters
are addressed to the committees
on public lands to whom /
thought you might want to re-
fer the matter. Some of the
settlers of Curry county have
advised me that they have writ
ten you personally urging the
introduction and speedy passage
of the bill. AS representative
Kinkaid, of Nebraska, had a
similar measure passed some
years ago, he might be able to
give you some pointers on the
subject.
Wishing you success in this
and other matters for the good
Of New Mexico and the country
remain,
