COL. COCKTAILS TO RESIGN.

Since Mr.. Metcalf, a politician from
Nebraska became governor Of the
canal Z0ne he has succeeded in stir
ring up trouble with the orderly trans
action of business on the zone. Col.
Goethals, whose administration has
been the most remarkable of any man
ever in charge of work of SO much
Importance, it is said, has recently
changed his mind and intends to re-
sign as soon as he can get the work
out of his way 1t has been his inten-
ton to complete the work by the first
of March and then spend a year
in seeing that the machinery and op-
Grafton of the plant are up to the ex-
pectation of the engineers who con-
structed the canal.
No one can criticize Col. Goethals
for the great pride which he takes in
the stupenduous work which has been
performed under his management, and
it is natural that he should wish to
remain in charge of the work after
the ships commence to pass regularly
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1913-11-12

through the canal and to remedy any
defects which may be discovered and
to turn over to the government finally
not only completed canal, but one
working perfectly in all it's particulars.
1t seems that Governor Metcalf has
in mind to appoint a commission, con
sisting of three men, who are to take
charge of the operation of the canal
after its completion and of course this
does not meet the approval of Col.
Goethals. 1t is his work and reflects
the genius of his mind and he alone
should have charge of initiating the
canal in transporting ships after its
completion. If Col. Goethals was able
feat which he na, carried out, he
should be able to take charge of it's
operation when it is his purpose to re-
sign after time to test the undertaking.
1t seems very much as if the purpose
is to carry the canal into the domain
of politics and to rob the one man of
the glory that is due him.
Since the plan is outlined to have a
commission appointed to control the
affairs of the canal Col. Goethals has
let the word go out that he will resign
the first of March and it is not diff
cult to understand what drives him
into taking this step. We sincerely
hope that congress will not be led in
to doing any foolish thing or some
thing that might be calculated to rob
worthy servant of that which is due
him.

PRESIDENT 1. DIP WATER.

We are afraid that President Wilson
is getting into deeper water all the
time about his policy in Mexico. We
are inclined to think that it would be
more becoming for the president of
the United States to have a policy in
this country than in Mexico. 1t is the
business Of President Wilson to ad-
minister the laws in this country and
to conduct its affairs so far as he is
able to best serve the interests Of the
people here and not to spend his time
meddling witt, the affairs Of another
country.
Mr.. Wilson may brighten Huerta
and drive him into resigning from Of
fee, but we doubt if he will succeed;
in fact the indications are now that
his bluff has been answered and that
Huerta has the sympathy of nearly all
of the factions Of his country. When it
comes to an issue as to whether or not
he shall be dictated to by the ruler
of another country Huerta has the
courage of soldier and he would
rather die than submit to the idea of
having to abdicate on the command
of ruler Of a foreign country. When
~ COulCS " pdootloC q ACpuUuC ouCu
as the United States assumes to die
tate to another country as to who can
or who cannot be it's ruler, it is bord-
ering, to. say the least, on the ridic-
ulous and whether Wilson wins or not
he cannot expect to command the re-
spect of fair minded people. We ad-
NIT the United States is great enough
to overpower Mexico and drive her
into the sea. but. she should not be-
come bully toward her neighbor

FALL OFF STEEL ORDERS.

1t has been truthfully said that no
better barometer of financial business
conditions can be found than in the
number Of orders which are placed
for steel to be used in various enter
prises Of the country.
1t is said that there has been
noticed falling, off in the orders for
steel within. the last few months and
consequently a degree of suspicion
that times are not moving forward al
right 1t is said that there is demand
for steel and that much more could be
used than has been ordered. but that
investors are hesitating about improve
ments to be- made and that the belief
obtains that possibly by Easter steel
products can be purchased cheaper
than at present.
1t is not surprising to hear that con-
ditiOns are growing unfavorable be-
cause Wes'have-had too much legsla-
ton even of good kind and when it
comes to admit that the legislation
which has been forced upon the coun.
try of late is of kind that usually
results in harm it is no surprise to
hear rumors of suspicious of this kind.
When we reflect that for more than
sixteen years the country has been
prosperous beyond description, we
naturally feel that prosperity is hab-
it with us and now to hear talk Of
threatened adversely it proves feel
ing of disappointment. No one could
wish anything to take place to change
the good times which we have en-.
joyed and the wish is entertained that
nothing will happen to tear down the
splendid business which has been
built up in the country during the last
few years.

the friends of the senator are up a

to bolt is just as complete as his. All
this calls attention to the fact that the
free lance in politics has been lauded
and the good party man has been ex-
ecrated until party spirit in the re-
publican party has been just about de-
stroyed. Maybe it is best that this
thing has happened. But this writer

How Judge WILSON
Lost Ills Job.

About month ago there was pub
lshed in the ADVOCATE an article
headed "When Judge Wilson Came to
Hillsboro," which proved of much in
tarest to old liners through ut this Sec
ton. Judge Wilson held the first term
of court in the new county Of Sierra
in the fall of 1884. A. J. Loomis. the
yerastile editor of the Santa Fe Eagle,
saw the article which he published in
full, and published the following story
of how Judge Wilson lost his job:
"But for a lit lie mistake Judge Viii
son made wi en- he came to New Mex
leo, he might have served a four year
term as Judge Of the third district
Cleveland did not move swiftly in the
removal of Judges on account OF poll
tics, but removal for eau came as
thunderbols from clear sky, and
they usually came by wire.
"Judge Wilson was great admirer
of ladies', particularly handsome and
shapely on S, and so 1T happened when
he came to N Nv Mexico he brought
along a handsome "niece, whom be
introduced TO many of the good people
of Silver City. Que unlucky day in
April, 1855, about a mo tn after the
inaagurati n of Cleveland, Judge Will
son took his niece Co Hudson Hot
springs, then owned by "Uncle Di X
Hudson. The judge introduced the
''niece" to rs Hudson, and there $
where "Uncle Diek' balked. The story
was told in the Offices of both the En-
and the Sentinel atSilver City,
but the Enterprise, being republican
did not care to mention the
natter. and the .entinel, which was
democratic, but which was partly own
I'd by an attorney of Silver City, now
lead, did not appear to oe anxious to
take up the fight against the judge OF
the distr ct. i'Uncle Dick" grew furi-
ous at the lack of interest taken by the
Silver City publishers, and came to
Deming and told the whole story to
the then editor of the Daily Headlight
and who now the editor of the Eaale.
The next day appeared an article ex-
posing the whole matter and this w1s
followed every day by an article on the
subject and the papers, with afiidav'ts |
to substantiate the statements, were
sent to the depar' ment at Washington.
Twentv-nine days after the first article
appeared, Judge Wilson was removed,
and Judge Fleming, of Kentucky, was
appointed. The country was too wild
for Judge Flen ing. and he resigned
after holding one term of court in the
district, and Judge Henderson was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.
g udge Wilson was much chaRrned
at his removal and stated that he came
to New Mexico to preside on the bench
and not to teach people morals.

ccyery of one of the strange animals
in the salt marshes of New M xico.
SO far rs discovering ilodag or sever
al hodags in New Mexico is concerned,
the exchange is all right but when it
takes the word of half witted old
trapper for the plans and specifications
of the animal it oversteps the bounds
of ve,acity. The hodag was originally
discovered in New Mexico, and later
| found in large numbers in Arizona. II
has yet eluded capture Until the old
trapper in question caught one. bat
he neglects to produce hide or teeth
to prove his assertions. The old trap
per, who claims TO be ''pard" of
Kit Carson; is experienced in the use
of every weapon from the latest auto
matte rifle to the primitive bow al d
arrows of the indians He says so
himself lie IS also quite likely to be
skilled in the use Of the ''long bow"
The description of the hodag ia en-
tirely too fanciful to ring true. He
has too many frills. 1t will be remem-
bared that the Arizona species was
jast awful and no more. No one was
ever venturesome enough to stop to
verify certain suspicious about tie
hodag's general appeara ee, SO those
who have caught glimpses of the ami
NAL have contented themselves with
either sayingit was simply awful or
stretching out fl ck of imaginary
( tcts, supplied by mind scared blank
Of any real data. Old Man Baley's de-
scription Of the beast is as follows:
Il have trapped around this country
for forty years. Kit Carson and
were partners for many years, and
am still in the business. but goldarn

basted critters | ever saw. Its head is
like that Of the African ant
eater, pictures of which animal have
seen 1t has very long nose and
long tongue and ears covered with lit
tie scales.
1.-The eyes of the critter are large
and fiery, and the skin arouud the eyes
IS red 1t teeth are long, and it has
four big tusks. 1t is covered with
coarse brown hair which lies to the
right, down the mountain side. Its
tail is covered with long gray hair up
to about two inches from the end. when
it becomes sharp horn. 1t probably
uses this as weapon if attacked from
behind. for the critters long and short
ls prevent it from turning around to
fight.
There's somethingremarkabl about
its feet Each foot has three claws in
front and three behind and double
heel right in the middle. From his
tracks you can't tell whether he is
coming or going, b'goshl''
