CHARLESTON, Aug. 2S.-That pro-
hibition has been successful in West
Virginia after trial OF two months is
the opinion Of Governor Henry D. Hat
field, as shown by an article written
for the New Republic" a temperance
publication, published at Westerville,
o. The governor declares the results
have been marvellous; that the prohi-
bition laws Of this state are the strict
est Of any state OF the Union, and that
the anticipations OF those advocating
prohibition have been more than reali-
zed. The governor points out that the
druggists, physicians and other pro-
fessional men have given full co-opera-
ton in the successful administration
OF the law. The governor wrote as
follows:
West Virginia is now in the second
month Of real statewide prohibition,
and the more we see of prohibition and
it, wonderful results, the better we
like 1t.
Il have had numbers Of men who
were really opposed to prohibition and
who voted against it's adoption, to state
to me that they were convinced that
the people were right In adopting q
prohibition clause to the state con-
stitution, eliminating the manufacture
and sale OF whiskey and all other
kinds OF intoxicants, and should the
opportunity afford itself that they
would unhesitatingly register their in
fiuence and support In behalf OF the
dry clause.
Marvellous Results.
The results have been marvellous
to everybody and we find that even
among the element that opposed the
state being voted dry" q disposition
manifested to give their support to see
ing the law carried out In force and
effect. We have experienced no SER
ious obstacles to the strict enforcement
Of the law. and believe that this in q
large measure is due to the excellent
campaign Of education waged among
the people OF the state during the in
term that marked the ratification OF
the prohibition amendment IN Novem-
Der, 1912, and the passage OF the legis-
lative enactment In February, 1913, to
the first day Of July, 1914, when the
law became effective.
West Virgfnia's prohibition law Is
the strictest found ON any OF the stat
ute books in the Union, and for this
reason ] believe It to be the best. No
SHORT was spared TO inform the people
that Its provisions were strict and that
the law was backed up by severe pen
a1ties, and every effort would be made
to fully and completely enforce the
law.

AN APOLOGY

In our last issue Muirhead' 5
Variety Store advertised underwear,
sweaters, etc. which had not arrived
when their advert isement was turn
ed over to us but was due to arrive
not later than Saturday. Saturday
came hut no goods fact is the ship
ment did not get in until Tuesday
of this week. Mr.. Muirhead felt
certain that eight days in transit
would be sufficient when six days is
the regular schedule from the point
of shipment. This particular ship
ment was started Oct. 23rd hence
should have been in by the
10Th. or Thursday, but the car in
which it was consigned was Ibid out
four days in transit and did not ar
rive in Tucumcari until Tuesday of
this week.
Mr. Muirhead says that he was re-
minded by some of Ananias and Sap
phira and the fate that befell them,
and that this experience has cured
him of advertising goods before they
arrive.
Their advertisement was written
in good faith and they feel that they
owe this explanation and apology to
their many disappointed customers.
The goods are here now AS well as
many other bargains and they have
half page ad. in this issue telling
about them.

TORY ON THE SCREEN
FOR THE FIRST

While our enthusiasm runs riot
when we think Of the valiant deeds
of the boys in blue in the great wars

Civil War and the Spanish-American
War we are often prone to forget
the sacrafices made for country in
the so-called Wars Of Civilization.
the wars against the Indians At
the Opera House. Wednesday. Nov.
II, matinee and night, the moving
pictures of the most interesting of
these battles with the Indians on the
frontier will be shown. For histor-
ical accuracy perhaps no film that
has yet appeared equals The Indian
Wars refought by the United States
Army" which was produced uuder
the personal direction Of Buffalo

son \. Miles and General Charles
King. The pictures were taken on
the original battle fields. Many Of
the participants in the original bat
ties, army men and Indians, re
fought their fights for the benefit of
the camera men. Four troops of
United States cavalry, hundreds of
Indians from the reservations, took
part. permission having been grant
ed by the Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Interior that this
marvellous story of frontier history
could be preserved at a time when
So many of the gallant commanders,
scouts, soldiers and Indians still
lived and made it possible to photo

archieves at Washington.

CHARITABLY INCLINED

Some Of the citizens of the older
states seem TO think New Mexico is
place where their sick relatives and
friends will be- received with open
arms, cared for and nourished back
to life, so they bundle them up give
them few dollars and pay their
railroad fare to Tucumcari or some
other town in this state.
They arrive here full of hope and
expect to be- strong and robust in
few days. Their money is soon
gone and now the city and citizens
are asked to care for the patient.
From financial standpoint the
city is not capable Of coping with
the situation and cannot afford to
furnish the proper care and nourish-
ment, therefore the patient dies and
when the friends and relatives
are notified they turn the deaf ear
and IL is up to the city to pay the
burial expenses.
An expense Of several hundred
dollars year to this charitable work
saps the life-blood out of a progress
i've town and makes it unable tn
make all necessary improvements
\ family moved here several mon
this ago and during the husband $
sickness other members of the fam
lily became sick. The mother was
worked nearly to death trying to
take care Of the sick and the rest Of
family. The church people hired
girl to help, and "a number of the
citizens donated money To assist in
securing help. The neighbors did
cooking, housework. washing and
ironing letting their own house work
go.
1t was afterward found out that
this was well-to-do family owning
two farms one Of which was said to
bring in better.than S3OO0.00 a year.
They took all the money. clothing
and food offered them and even dis
charged the servant when the neigh
bors went in to help.
Another case was delivered to us
from Amarillo with an appeal signed
by the mayor asking our citizens to
donate money to help a tubercular
patient. Every day we are asked To
assist some supposed-to-be pauper
when perhaps the applicant has
plenty of money stored away, or
more than most of us.

FOUR TAKEN TO

jeff Woodland returned Monday
from Santa Fe where he delivered
four boarders To the state peni-
tentiary for safe keeping. He said
Buffalo seemed proud 10 know he
had secured room and board for a
year at least Frank Hunt. convic-
ted of the murder of VIM. Jones and
John Sweazea. was also among the
group. He has made application for
an appeal but did not perfect same
and il is thought he will not. He
was taken over there for safe keep
ing and will no doubt remain there
to serve out as much of his 30 year
sentence az the laws of nature will
allow.
!, jess Smith has appealed his case
and will be kept here until il is
found out that his case is affirmed
or reversed by the higher courts.
IL is reported that the local officers
are making strenuous effort to stop
cattle rustling and since the arrest
and jailing Of Snide Riley two weeks
ago three others have been lodged
in Jail to await the action of this dis
'trict court. If man pleads guilty
the Judge gives him light sentence,
hut if he is guilty and has to be
proven so the full penalty is assessed.
There are number of cases the
officers are working on and from the
looks of the past two criminal dock
cts the sheriff and his assistants in
this county are doing their duty and
the people have little right to criti-
cize the present officer.
The judge and juries are doing
their duty and it is hoped Quay coun-
ty will soon rid itself of this lawless
element.

A telegram was received which
stated that Mr.. Parsons had under
gone another operation and was not
expected To- recover. His brother at

was told to come Immediately. The
railroad men from that division mis-
understood the message and thus II

county and state rs he was "A demo-
crat and always assisted his party in
every way possible. He is one the
oldest conductors on this road and

Joe Dupont hoplessly insane and
ascribcd his trouble to softening of

All the wise ones politically are TAX
Ing notice of the active campaign
being waged by Richard Jones for the
Senatorial nomination in the Fifty
Eighth District. - ,
: Dick has entered into the campaign
with an enthusiasm and energy which
bodies i'll for his opponents, and his
friends. are working equally hard. His
support comes from the ranks of all
parties just as they did three years
ago when he made such a phenom-
email run for alderman in the Fourth
Ward. where the progressive vote was
split UP among several candidates.:
1t will be remembered that after
that fight was over, and the Council
had to elect successor to Alderman
shartel, a petition was signed by ESQ
representative citizens of that ward
asking the Council to elect Mr. Jones.
This petition was signed by many who
had, for personal reasons, supported
some of the other progressive candi-
dates, but to whom Mr.. Jones never
theless appealed as being a man who
would make valuable member of our
city legislative body.
Such IAN endorsement as Mr.. Jones
had at that time makes his candidacy
for the Senate so formidable that his
nomination at the primary as one of
the two candidates: to make the run
in the November election is assured,
and his election seems to be as GER
tain as anything can be in politics: !:
Dick represents the political sentf-
ments of the ifty-Eighth District
voters on the live issues Of the day.
He will stand rockribbed against the
efforts Of the Ed. Smith crowd to take
over our local public service corpor-
atoms away from local control; he
can be depended on to work for and
protect: the interests, o. the laborfng
man which constitute the largest pro-
portion of the electors of his district;
he will be a supporter Of: every legfsla
tive measure, necessary to make the
initiative: and referendum useful in
struments. in the hands of the peo-
pie; and he will be a consistent and
conscientious worker for real eff
ficiency and economy program.
The Fifty-Eight district includes
the territory in the city of Duluth
which was formerly known as the
Third, Fourth, FIFTH and Sixth wards,
and in addition the towns of Colvin,
Fredenburg, Canosia, Rice. Lake and
Gnesen. '': -.
