A False Accusation

TheAlbuquerqueM Morning Jour
nal corresponding to the 18th of
the present month, CONS with one
of the vilest stories ever invent
ed to defame the character of an
honest man. by which article it
tries to expose Mr.. B. C. Herman
dez as an incompetent, untrust-
worthy man for the position to
which he was nominated and for
which he will make the race in
the coming election. By this
the Journal tried to intimidate
Mr.. Hernandez into resigning his
nomination. Further on the Jour-
nal goes to say that if Mr.. Her
nandez does not resign then Mr..
Ely must resign the chairman
ship of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee, to which this
gentleman has answered in the
most unquestionable terms that
he does not believe word of
what they say and therefore does
not intend to resign. This gives
US an intimation that the Morn
ing Journal is trying to assume
the dictatorship Of the politics of
this state. On the other hand it
seems that it has very easily for
gotten that it was not veay long
ago that it had to pay a very nice
little round sum as indemnity for
a lbelous article which it pub
lished against another gentleman.
1t seems that the lesson did not
have its proper effect, and it is
very likely, according to appear
ances, thatitwillnothave veryfar
to GO Before the laws of Tie state
Of New Mexico will again be
brought to bear upon it.
TheAlbuquerque Morning Jour
nal has nothing more against MIR.
Hernandez than that he is a Span
ish-American, and seeing that
this is rot enough to curtail the
popularity and prominence of
the candidate it goes to work and
makes up a futil story by which
means it intends to work the SEN
timent of the people against
him. 1t also denounceS Mr.. Ely
in its issue of the 10th for not
complying with it's demand to
resign in case its gastric story
did not have this effect upon the
candidate. The Morning Journal
by this time has acquired a repu-
tation for meddling with every
bodies business except its own.

The View Changed

With a iulI column OF editorial
verbiage the Albuquerque Even
ing Herald throws off its mask
Of cocked-suredness anent the
election Of one Sr. Ferguson,
and admits out and out that the
said gestlenaay has tot raueh ef
a show to be elected at the fall
elections.
How different from the stand
they took at first. and how brut-
ally, painfully, frank is their po-
sitior.
They laugh about the decline
Of the Republican majority, but
they have given up the hope of
securing any majority at all and
see only defeat for their candi-
date, Of whom they said not so
long ago would sweep the state
like a new broom.
Wise ones. They have seen
the handwriting on the wall and
in agonizing appeals are crying
for their party voters to save the
day if they can. But they hold
forth no ray of hope around
which the Democrats may rally,
and themselves wall that Mr..
Hernandez will be elected in
spite Of all that they can do.
How great are the mighty
fallen!
From off that high porch ol
self-compliance they have toppled
to a groveling position Of weak
apology, and are trying to blame
the almost certain defeat that
stares them in the face onto---tc
something, oh, just anything:
except the fact that New Mexico
is a Republican state, and this
year is a Republican year, anc
the further fact that their candi-
date is not nearly as popular as
they have been trying to lead us
to believe.
Poor old Democrats! AS long
as the game is in their favor
they are very boastful, but wher
they see the tide turning they
lose all zest for the fight anc
send up that oft-heard plaintive
wall, "All is lost! All is lost ,
And Ben just smiles on serenely

ATLANTA LEADS
AS WHOLESALE
MARKET PLACE
Southern Retail Merchants Real
ize Advantages offered, and
Buy in Larger Quantities,

Atlanta merchants and manufac-
turers have progressed more in the
past eighteen months, as result or
the semi-annual Southern Merchants
Week, held under the auspices of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, than they could in any other
way possible said j. w. Vaughn,
president of the Southern Retail Mer-
chants Association. and of the j. W.
Vaughn Company, of Gainesville,
Friday.
Merchants Of the South now rec
ognize Atlanta as the foremost trad
ing point in the Southeastern States,
and they are buying in greater guam
titles and varieties here than they
have ever done before"
Mr.. Vaughn particularly comment
ed upon the unusually elaborate stocks
displayed here this spring, and stated
that the retail merchants would meet
the wholesale houses more than half
way In encouraging trading in Allan
ia, and would support them in carry
ing greater stocks than ever before
by purchasing from them In such
quantities as characterized Mer-
chants Week.
This spring will see the earliest
planting in years." concluded Mr.,
Vaughn, and the farmers have their
land in better shape than ever known
in the history of the State. The fu-
ture of Georgia farmers and mer-
chants, both wholesale and retail, is
brighter than ever in the past.

Doing Capacity 5uslness-Run-

F. o. Stone. of the F. o. Stone Bak-
ing Company, reports a continuance
of the phenomenal growth in popu-
larity Of Stone Wrapped Cakes. Mr.
Stone is an optimist ordinarily, but
was not prepared for such recep-
ton in the South for his products.
He. of course, felt that stone Cakes
would be popular. but that like all
other things. he would have to work
for some. time in this territory be-
fore the bakery would be doing a ca
pacity business. and now, just one
month since his company started to
produce these remarkable cakes, hs
is running day and night to keep up
with the orders that are pouring in
from all parts of the South.
Such an instantaneous reception
speaks well for this product, and
proves once more that the South is
one of the richest fields in the coun-
try to market n meritorious article
successfully and with profit.

1913 Best Year of
Penn Mutual Life

Bagley & Willet, Georgia managers
for the Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company, state that their company
did a larger business in 1918 than
ever before in its history.
The Penn Mutual Is 81 years old
and is a purely mutual company with
over 100000 members and the fact
that great life insurance company
of the Penn Mutuars size made such
a record last year is a strong indica-
ton of national prosperity.
A substantial part of this business
was written in Georgia, and the man
ayers state that the 1914 business
bids fair to exceed even that of last
years record breaker.

Catherine Winters is found. She
is alive and apparently in good health.
Her alleged kidnaper, a man of so
years, is in Jail at Huntsville, Ark,
and the little girl herself is being
cared for by the jailer's wife.
Nearly q year ago Catherine. the
10-year-old daughter of DR.. W. A.
Winters, of Newcastle, Ind, disap-
peared mysteriously from her home,
and a country wide search was start
ed. The case attraced more interest
than any other disappearance since
that of Dorothy Arnold. The child s
picture was reproduced in hundreds
of newspapers. Private detective
America and Canada in the effort to
find the child.
Catherine was found yesterday, but
the mystery of her disappearance re-
mains almost as deep as ever. An
swers have not yet been heard to the
questions: Why was abe stolen?
Where has she been? What life has
she led? How has her captor treated
her?
Huntsville is village in the heart
of the mountains OF Arkansas. 1t Is
40 miles from a railroad. Telegraph
ic service is meager.
early last evening Inc AlhCAiS
received a bulletin message telling
that a. child had been found there in
the custody of an old man and that
the child had been identified as Cath
crime Winters.
At intervals through the night The
American obtained further details and
the story, incomplete, but enough TO
reassure the world as to the chllds
fate, is pieced together.
Several days ago an old man, sup
porting himself with a rough cane,
apparently cut from some tree along
the roadside, and, accompanied py
little girl who trudged a few PAGES
ahead of him, wandered into Hunts
vilel. He said his name was George
Stuart. He had money enough Tor
the needs of himself and the child,
and he found accommodations at
farmhouse about a mile outside the
village.
There he and the child stayed for
day or two. The attention of the
neighbors was attracted by the fact
that the little girl sometimes wore
boys clothing: sometimes that Of her
own sex. Curiosity was increased by
the 'reticence of the old man. He
found himself watched. And so in the
night he and the child disappeared.
This mystery wrought the village
to a pitch of excitement. Inquiries
were made. Telegraphic messages
were sent. The police Of neighboring
towns sent word that the child might
be Catherine Winters. Pictures of
the Winters child were sent to Hunts
Vile. Newspaper clippings were sent
there. And the man brought the
child back. He was arrested yester-
day. -
