Our Congressman

Congressman Ferguson is
dealing with the homestead ques-
tion for New Mexico, Arizona and
the other semi-arid states in a
broad and statesmanlike manner
No measure relating to the dis
posal of the semi-arid public
lands, so comprehensive and
efficient, and so much in the in
terests Of homeseekers and home
makers, has ever been pressed
upon the attention of Congress
as does the bill which Mr.. Fer
gusson is now pushing in the
house.
Mr., Ferguson is bending every
energy to secure the passage of
this measure and give the stock
raising homesteader chance to
live.
This is emphatically the home
steader's fight. 1t is his battle
and his interests. In Mr.. Fer
gusson the homesteader has a
representative in Congress fight
ing hard or this measure, a re-
preventative who should have
your support in every way that
j can be given. Tucumcari

Good Roads Meet

A number of enthusiasts fol-
the Good Roads movement, who
appreciate the benefit to be de-
rived from encouraging the auto
mobile traffic from East to West
to pass thru Roy rather than al
low it to be detoured around us
as is done at present, met at the
l. 0. 0. F. Hall Saturday evening
to launch an organization for the
promotion OF a good road from
Tucumcari to the top of the mesa
near Mosquero to connect with
our natural good roads to Spri1 g.
er to connect with the Scenic
Highway via Roy, Solano, Mills
and Taylor Springs.
Il is a recognized fact that the
chief need of this road is abridge
over Red River this side of Tu-
cumcari and a small amount of
road work in places along the
route. 1t is a picturesque trip
to the top Of the rim-rock near
Mosquero and then the natural
good roads will cross go miles of
the most beautiful and fertile
prairie in all New Mexico at an
elevation of a mile above sea leyel
with side trips to the canyons
furnishing scenery as sublime as
can be found in the mountains.
The plan is entirely feasible
and should be carried out. Officers
were elected as follows Pres,
w. H. Wilcox, Sec'y. and Treas.
VIM. G.. johnson. The officers
were instructed to get in com
munication with other Good
Roads Boosters at once and call
meetings whenever necessary to
promote the good work,

RURAL CARRIERS DISTURBED.
Fear Results. Of Burleson's Efforts to
lnaugurate Contract System.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE announce
ment that Postmaster General Burleson
favors a change in the rural delivery
system whereby carriers will have to
bid for the work and obtain it by bid
ding lower than any one else, is caus-
ing great apprehension among rural
carriers all over the country. This is
the old star route system revived. I'm
der it, the bidder would no doubt be
allowed to take on as many contracts
as he could handle. and every rural
carrier would become the employe OF
the contractor, instead OF Uncle Sam,
as he is now. In time. the contractor
could become a big corporation which
would fix the compensation Of the men
who do the work at $500 to $500 year,
instead Of $1,000 to $1,000 which the
government now pays them direct, and
the contractor would get rich on the
work of the carriers. The contractor
would come to own the horses. wagons,
or automobiles and the carrier would
become % mere driver.

ERRORS IN LoNesHoRe TRIAL.
Supreme Court Holds Rulings and Evil
dence Pre- judicial h

Waterloo Oct. i2.--Copies of the
opinion of the supreme court in the Dr.
Anna Longshore- Moon case have been
received by the attorneys interested.
The opinion, which covers sixteen
typewriter pages, was written by
Justice Weaver and is concurred in
by the other members of the court
The reversal of DR.. Longshore's con-
viction OF a second degree murder
charge in the lower court as stated
heretofore, was on the ground that
certain rulings of the court and re-
marks by the court and attorneys be-
fore the jury were prejudical to the
defendant.
The first eight pages are devoted
to a review of the facts in the case.
detailing the death Of Miss Rebecca
Shade and the gist of the evidence
OF the state and the defense. Some
space is given to the feature of the
trial judges commenting on the adj
instability Of evidence by DR.. j. e.
O'keefe and DIR. Margaret Clark.
This was in relation to the states
having proved sufficiently the fact
that an operation was not necessary
to save 1ife 1t was held that this
was not matter of defense as coun-
sci for the defendant did not refer to
1t in the opening statement.
"The court failed to instruct that
the fact that a miscarriage was not
necessary to save life must be proved
beyond reasonable doubt" says the
opinion.
The second branch of the case is
based on Assistant States Attorney
McCoy's opening statement and the
cross examination of DR.. Nesbit, TAX
en- together In connection with state
ments Of the court on ruling on OBJ
.jectionss which are said to have been
preiudicial error.
The last division holds that the testi-
mony of DR.. Waddey, when Fred Nor
ris. Miss Shades fiance, visited him.
+ when Waddey said, You are probably
looking for DR.. Longshore" was not
admissible. Morris had gone to Wad-
dey-to, talk with him as a friend about
the girls condition and Waddey adj
vised marriage. Morris said he was
looking for woman doctor on the
west side of the river, and Waddey
gave the name of DR.. Longshore.
The supreme court holds that con-
versations had between Norris and
Miss Shade, before the defendant was
consulted were not admissible. At the
trial Morris related great deal OF
talk which had been INDUCED in by
himself and Miss Shade before DR..
Longshove was consulted. and the
opinion says these conversations with
others ought not to have been re-
counted on the witness stand.
Any reference at the trial regarding
other cases of a similar nature when
applied to the defendant is condemned
by the supreme court as prejudicia to
the defendant
