THE county democratic committee
has been sending out some literature
telling the people why they should
vote the democratic ticket this fall.
The man who prepared the literature
was so little acquainted with the
democratic candidates that he could
not spell their names correctly. He
speaks Of Adolph P. Hill, while the
name of the man who is running for
corporation commissioner on the DEM
ocratic ticket is Adolfo P. Hill. The
LIBERAL knows, for Mr.. Hill told it.

The Electric light company had
some trouble, and was out Of business
for several days. The 1ue In n OF
its boilers gave way, the escaping
steam steam scalding Manager Able
slightly. He ordered the other boiler
fred up, and before there was a full
head of steam on the heading gave
way, thus putting both boilers out Of
commission. The boilers are insured.
The adjuster came and examined
them. and could give no reason why
they went out. After the adjust
ment new fiews we're ordered from
Deming, to be sent up by express
Monday. The lues we're taken TO the
express office early Monday morning,
In plenty of time for the train. When
the train got here the express bills
were on it, but the iues were not,
and It was afterwards found they
we're left lying on the depot platform
at Deming. They were then shipped
up on the local freight train, which
generally gets here before the passen'
ger, but that day II was late. They
finally got here, were placed in posi-
ton, fire was raised, and the lights
we're turned on about midnight, Tues
day. The L%ordsburg people did not
appreciate how important the electric
lights were until they we're deprived
Of them for a new nights.

Mr.. FergussOn's Record.

Last week, when commenting on
Mr.. Fergusson's record, as published
in the Silver City Independent, the
LIBERAL gave MI. Ferguson credit
for introducing a bill that was not
mentioned in the Independent, the
bill providing that assessment work
on mines need not be done this year.
Since then the LIBERAL has receiv-
ed a pamphlet entitled "Record in
Congress Of Hon. II. b. Ferguson as
Compiled by his Secretary" This
surely ought to be official. A careful
search Of 1t fails to show any men
tion OF this bill. The LIBERAL has a
very distinct recollection of seeing a
copy Of the bill printed in n Of the
state papers soon after the meeting Of
the democratic state convention.
The LIBERAL has discovered what
Is probably the reason the secretary
makes no mention of the bill. 1t is be-
cause the bill is not approved by the
administration. and Mr.. Ferguson,
in his subserviency to the administra-
tion would do nothing In opposition
to It, no matter how great were the
needs OF This constituents.
The Tucson Citizen Of last Satur-
day tells Of a letter written by Con-
gresham Hayden to General Man
ming, saying T. is unlikely that a bill
will be passed exempting assessment
work for this year.
Congressman Hayden enclosed an
adverse report made by Secretary OF
the Interior Lane on Senator Shoots
bill to relieve claimants from the per,
Torrance of annual labor.
"Some time ago L took up this ques
tlon with the secretary Of the interior.
whose endorsement is necessary on
legislation Of this kind" says Mr.
Hayden. THE secretary telegraphec
to his field inspectors In Montana
Utah, Nevada and Arizona, directing
them to report as to the necessity fol
this legislation, and he has informed
me that from the information re
ceived, 1t appears that the passage o
a bill waving assessment work thi
year would do about as much harm a
good. A great many miners havI
been thrown out Of employment oil
account OF the Generalization Of thu
copper market due to the European
war. Many Of them could make
living for assessment work by CLAIM
owners this winter, so that the Sc
cretary feels that this avenue for
livelihood should not be closed Z
them"
If some Of the field inspectors ofth
department Of the interior think 1t !
not wise TO exempt the miners fror
assessment work this year who /
Congressman Ferguson that he shoul,
not accept the view OF these field in
s~pectors2 We all know what class o
cattle these field inspectors Of the ia
terror department are.
II once was duty Of congressman I
pass laws for the people, but unde
this democratic administration l
seems 10 be the duty Of the congress:
men TO first ask the interior depart
ment whether or not a law should b
passed, and II some Of the ield in
spectors object TO the passing Of tn
law our congressman yields his viii
dom to that Of the field inspectors.

TELEPHONE POSTAL CARD BEING
CONSIDERED.

The postmaster-general Is consider
ing the adoption of new form of post
card, which will show not only the or
binary street address of the recipient
but his telephone number also, accord
ing to the March Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Upon its arrival at desti-
nation, a clerk would Immediately call
up the telephone number and ask for
the person to whom the card is ad-
dressed and read the message, after
which the card would be delivered in
the usual way. The card would bear
a special stamp costing five cents, and
would have preference over other first
class mail matter in the same manner
the special delivery letters do now A
reply postal card would be 10 cents.
The number of words might be limited,
and no liability assumed by the postal
authorities other than that now borne
in the special delivery letter.

SENATOR TiLLMAN'S VIGOROUS
WORDS ON INCARCERATION.

Amalgamation Is the hope and ulti-
mate purpose of the negroes, the oblit-
Grafton Of the color line; and many
white men, too many, oblivious to
their duty to their race and caste, are
voluntarily criminals in this regard
while, thank God, our white women
prefer death to such a fate. In almost
every community white men can be
found brazenly living openly with col
ored women, and nothing is said or
done about it. We must protect our
women at any and all hazards, else
they would spurn us, and ought to
spurn us; and we must draw the line
of caste between white men and black
women, and sternly compel it's OBJ
servance, just as sternly as we are
resolved to draw the line between
black men and white women.
l ask in all solemnity whether or
not it is possible to prevent ultimate
amalgamation if white men are not
compelled by public opinion and by
law to observe the obligations of caste.
Can our Anglo-Saxon civilization with
stand the undermining process of a
constant increase in the number of
mulattOes and quadroons? Our white
women will guard the purity of the
race in the bravest and most sacred
manner Shall white men be allowed
to destroy what our mothers, wives,
sisters and daughters are so bravely
defending? The sin of miscegenation
during the slavery days was great, and
grievously have we paid for it, but our
very civilization hangs in the balance
now, and our dependence must be upon
the brave and glorious women Of the
South to protect and save us from ulti-
mate OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES B. R.

scHooL-RooM SUGGESTIONS.

A school-room should not be over 40
feet long.
Not more than IS pupils should be
allowed to each room.
The air in room should be CON-
pletely changed every ten minutes.
The heat should be uniform through
out the room. In country schools this
can be done by covering the stove with
a galvanized hood; the hole under the
stove connecting with the outside air.
There should be individual drinking
cups.
The children should wash their
hands before eating their lunch.
The children should not spit.
The children should not pick their
nose, or put their fingers in their
mouth.
Objects that have been in the mouth
of one child should never be allowed
W ESdCu TIC LuOuLu Va duOtHOI
The vault of the closet should be
water-tight, and by means Of dry earth
the contents kept dry. The contents
should be removed frequently and haul,
ed to the open fields for fertilizer.
The well or cistern should be so
constructed that no surface drainage
can gain entrance.
Screen the school against flies.
Examine the children closely for any
signs of eruption on the face or hands,
sending any child home that has an
eruption, with instructions to the par.
ent to consult physician.
The pupils should be closely ques-
toned from time to time as to sore
throat.
The rural school teacher will find
many Of these rules easy to enforce
and that the enforcement will result at
once in lessening Of the many ills
that too frequently invade our public
schools.

William James, in his wonderful
chapter on Habit" suggests one of
the greatest formulas for character
building and life happiness of any
thing ever put into print He says,
substantially: Resolve each day to
do at least one task that you would
rather not do" This is by no means
an easy thing to debut it is a big
thing to do, and will accomplish much
in the building of a strong character.
Incidentally many important things
will be done that would otherwise
never be done at ALL
