House-Warrning

Last week we overlooked a
news item which, while it has not
been mentioned to us causes us
a feeling of chagrin.
Weespecially asked parts who
knew of the House warming"
party which the friends and
neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs, /. O.
Scott held as a surprise to them
last Saturday evening and then
promptly forgot it. They have
recently built a large addition to
their home northeast of town. 1t
was also near the 18th anniyer-
sary of their marriage. A mum
Der of their neighbors got to-
gether and went in on them with
lunch baskets, oysters and
world Of good-fellowship and
made it red letter night for
them,
The Scott's are among the
most progressive and success
full homesteaders on this mesa
and we are glad they were thus
remembered even if we could not
be present.

Club Meeting


The Embroidery Club held a
regular session with Mrs. F, j.
Sheltren at her home on the
claim Thursday. Every con-
veyence available was pressed
into service to get them out there
as the Club always anticipates
the best time on the circuit at the
Sheltren home. They were not
disappointed in this instance and
are still worrying their friends
with the story of their doings.

Bidding Them
Welcome Home

A party of about fifty friends
of Leo Wagner drove out in autos
buggles, wagons and any old-way
Saturday night to the Wagner
home to serenade him and his
bride. They were not allowed
to make much noise but we're
cordially received and feasted in
the good old hospitable style Of
tue German-Americans. The new
Mrs. Wagner is the cutest little
bride we have seen in many a
day aud we easily understand
we say it without disloyality to
the Roy girls why he should
have Travelled eleven hundred
miles after her. 1t is up to the
people of Roy to make up in be-
ing nice to her for the difference
between New Mexico prairies
AID the advanced civilization size
has been accustomed to and to
make her forget the luXuries of
the Middle East" and adopt
our ways without looking back.

Prof. R. S, Trumbull was in
town Sunday and Monday till
noon calling on friends in the in
terest of the State CollegeCourse.
1t appears that Roy is the only
town on theline of,the E P& S w
that has ambition enough to put
up for the whole course and it is
to be divided up and fitted to
the needs of the smaller COM
munities.
The plans for Roy are not yet
completed but will be fully an
nounced as soon as they are
ready.

Report from the
Penitentiary

We are in receipt OF copy OF
the Report Of the Board Of
Commissioners and uperinten
dent of the New Mexico State
Penitentiary" for 1913.
1t is a little suggestive perhaps
under existing conditions-but a
perusal of the text of the report
convinces us that it is a better
place to be than it used to be. 1t
is really interesting document
and gives evidence of good faith
and competence of the present
administration which is pleasing
to one who aspires to become a
Taxpayer in this state.
The arrangements for the en-
tertainment and instruction of
the inmates and the many things
that are being done to make them
better citizens when they are re-
leased is a mark of advanced
civilization of which we are
proud.
When we consider that our
present conditions permit many
worse and more dangerous men
to not only run at large but to
enjoy positions of emolument and
Public trust than some vino are
incarcerated in Chis penal insti
tuition, we rejoice that our pen
itentiary is in the hands Of mod
ern, sympathetic and honest men.
The stories, rife in the daily
papers of which, at most
indicate leniency to some un-
deserving Of it do little to de-
tract from the satisfaction the
people of New Mexico, must
get from the bettsred conditions
under the new administra-
tion.
1t is the duty of every good
citizen to uphold the State Ad-
ministration so long as it con-
tlnues thus to deserve it and if
it becomes corrupt, as has past
administrations - to turn them
out summarlly and so unanimous
ly that even our vicious system
OF elections will not allow them
to miscount votes as has been
done-to keep themselves in
power.

sygp&ss RUSSIA IN
IfSGGiS!TORiAl POWERS
Dac;arc Il Would Permit of Big Cor
porations Learning Vital Secrets Of
Small Competitors-Asents Would
Need No Qualifications but Political
Extraordinarily Questioned.

Washington, Feb. O-Denouncing
the administration trade commission
bill as opening up "the liveliest graft
Of the century and as surprising
Russia in inquisition" James E. Ben
nett today told the house commerce
committee that such a law would drive
small corporations out of business.
Representing a number of corporations,
he questioned the constitutionality OF
the bill
This bill" he said. would give the
vital secrets Of the small corporations
to its big competitor. 1t would show
up the weak points of the small con-
Germ. This thing would open up the
loveliest graft that you gentlemen ever
saw. With thousands of special agents
roaming around the country prying
into corporations, graft would be wide
spread. These agents would have no
qualification but political pull. NO
civil service examination is required,
and they could be sent into any cor
porat!on's office to make a report which
would be binding on that corporation.
If you gave him $50 or 500 or $500 he
might be willing to change the report.
This is a tremendous inquisitorial
power Russia never had anything
like this, that gave such power without
let or hindrance,"
Mr.. Bennett argued that the bill vio-
lated the constitutional guarantee
against unlawful search and seizure.

from the throne. The address for the

In referring to safety orslife at sea
his majesty said:

UNUSUAL MOTION SUBMITTED.
Supreme Court Asked to Release Glenn
Guiliver on Payment Of Fine.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 10.-A somewhat
unusual motion was submitted to the
supreme court when 1t convened today.
1t was the motion to have the court
modify the Judgment in the Glenn Gull
liver case. Judge Kelly had given the
hoy a five year indeterminate sentence
on his conviction OF assault to commit
robbery. Appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court and the case affirmed and
later on rehearing again disposed Of.
Then the chief justice on request had
the procedendo. or order OF commit-
ment. held up to await further action
and additional representations.
Now comes motion to have the
judgment inhictlng a prison term on
the defendant modified and fine i'm
posed. which 1t Is declared he would
pay. and thus avoid the stigma OF q
term at the state reformatory.
In support of this, Attorney w. n.
Salisbury filed petition reciting that
there was. as shown by the testimony.
and practically as stated by the SUI
preme court Itself. some doubt about
the guilt OF the defendant, that at least
there was nothing whatever to show
that II assault was committed Il was
for the purpose OF robbery, that the de-
fendant had borne a good reputation
and had been employed at the time.
and In general. that the ends OF justice
would be better served by imposing .
fine rather than term in prison.
Against this a resistance was fled.
There were also petitions pro and con
on tho subject numerously signed by
the partisans OF one side or the other.
The attorney general will ask to have
the motion stricken from the files as
entirely out of order.
When the court convened today the
second division took up hearings. This
consists OF Chief Justice Ladd and Jus
tices Weaver. Evans and Preston. A
number OF rehearings are on the dock
ct for argument today: but neither In
these nor in the cases ready for siuiAa
mission this week Is there anything Of
great import.
