THREE GOOD MEN

IN the selection of secundino Ro-
gro. Fred o. Blood and Apolonio A.
eaa as candidates for the lower house
/. the legislature from this county
me republican party made a goot
choice. 1t is doubtful if three better
men could have been found within
the limits of the county.
Mr.. Romero is a man Of experience
in public office, having discharged the
duties of clerk Of the court for the
OLD Fourth judicial district, sheriff Of
san Miguel county and United States
marshal with great success. He has
heavy investments in lands and live
stock in this county and is thoroughly
in touch with conditions in the state.
His presence in the legislature will
he Of distinct value, not only to
san Miguel county, but to the state
as whole.
Mr. Blood is one of the consistent
workers for the betterment of Greater
Las Vegas and san Miguel county. He
has a habit OF accomplishing what he
undertakes, and the best of judgment
and foresight, with which he is riea'y
gifted, do not permit hi molten to uE,
dertake anything that is not feasible,
sound and worth while. Any law that
r. o. Blood will propose in the legis-
lature will be one that is needed and
will prove of benefit to the state. Any
vote cast by him on any measure will
be the result of careful investigation
of the matter under consideration. Mr.
Blood, while postmaster of East Las
vegas, was known throughout the
state as one of the few postmasters
who really ran his own office. He was
on the job all the time. and secured
for East Las Vegas the best possible
service. 1t is refreshing to see a post
master give as much time to his office
as he would to a private businesss,
and that is what Mr.. Blood did.
Apolonio Al sena Is known to nearly
everybody in San Miguel county. He
has held positions Of public trust and
has discharged his duties efficiently
While a member of the state mounted
police force he was the terror Of
wrongdoers, especially horse and cat
tie thieves. Mr.. sena is large prop
erty owner and a native New Mex
lean. He is man Of business integ-
rits and ability, and he will make a
good representative for San Miguel
county in the state legislature.

the following account Of the capture
os the battle flag of the Thirty-sixth
regiment Of Prussian infantry by three
soldiers Of the 29Sth regiment Of

of the Legion of Honor:
"On September T." the article reads,
"the twenty-second and twenty-thir1
companies of the 298th regiment were
deployed in skirmishing against a
group of the enemy from 700 to 500
meters distant. When the distance di-
minished the Germans raised their
hsrds and shouted: France Eng
land, friends!"
@Our men, advancing without dis
trust were fired upon point blank,
Without allowing themselves to wa
yer, they replied with a bayonet
charge A half-raised flag was OBJ
served under which two Germans were
lying. The soldier Gnillemard trans
fixed the bearer of the flag with his
bayonet and kicked the hand which
held the pole, while Corporal Mieha-
let threw himself upon the other

10 join you in a movement SO big and
ins.stent that your request will be
granted
The new road that is 50 badly need
ed would connect Hodges with Mora,
and it could be built at little expense.
what do we need Of such a road?'
is the question that will be asked by
every property owner and public Off
cial who would be called upon to pay
taxes or vote for the construction of
such a highway.
The answer is that such highway
would divert to Mora, Watrous and
Las Vegas practically all of the busi-
ness Of the lumber camp of the San
ia Barbara Tie and Pole company at
Hedges. This business is worth a
large amount Of money annually and
at present goes to Embudo, distance
Of 20 miles from Hodges, because
there is no road to Mora.
F. w Drake, manager of the camp
ana one Of the officers of the company
does all his shipping from Embudo
over the Denver and Rio Grande rail
read He is obliged to purchase sup
lies for his men and his teams and
his mills from localities where ship
ment or hauling to Embudo is avail
able and convenient. Last year he
bought 500 tons of hay in Taos.
| If he had a road to Nora he could
purchase his hay and grain in the
Mora valley. He could ship his lum-
lber to Warous and Las Vegas. His
Incoming shipments would go through
those two towns, giving work to the
freighters. His purchases of merchan-
disc and machinery could be made in
Watrous and Las Vegas and would
help make business better. The mer-
chants say it is good now.
MI of this would BE brought about,
lnUt because Mr.. DRAKE mas any parti
Icular partiality for Mora, Watrous and
Las Vegas, but because he is a gooc
business man and it would be to his
advantage to transfer his business tc
those three places. It would affect
saving for him and would turn loose
, some mighty good money in Localities
that are looking for more trade.
The Santa Barbara Tie and Pol
company employs between 800 ant
40> men at Hodges the year around
1t is easy to estimate what the busi
ness of such a camp would be wort
to any community.
The Mora valley, Watrous and La
: Vegas can get it if little strip o
read 70 miles in length is built. Let
: get busy and have that highway cor
structed without any more delay

SUPREME COURT TO END WAR

court of Europe to prevent excessive
armameffts and compel the mainte-

be found practicable after the present
European war. as preventive Of fur
ther gigantic struggles between the ma
tions, is the belief OF Samuel J Elder,
expert on international law Mr.. Elder
represented the United States as
senior counsel in the fisheries dispute
before The Hague tribunal in 1910,
and is a close student of European af-
fairs. The court Of the nations, with
certain definite powers, particularly
with reference to armaments and
treaties, would be sure preventive
against sudden clashes such as oc-
Cured the first of August, he says
He believes that the decisions Of such
a court can be enforced. His idea is
that when the decision of the court
has been given the nations that have
signed the contract to abide by the
findings Of the court will, if the con
victed nation does not accept the de-
cision, proceed to enforce strictly a
policy Of non-intercourse with the
guilty nation as regards trade and
mail That such a course would soon
bring an offending nation to terms is
the opinion Of Nh. Elder.

Whereas, The relations between
the United States and Mexico are
strained and war seems to threaten;
and,
Whereas, The commercial inter-
ests are doing their utmost to bring
about Intervention in Mexico which
would be profitable to them, placing
great wealth in their hands, fixing
the attention of the American peo-
pie upon Mexico, and taking it away
from the industrial questions upon
which the organization and life of
labor depends; and,
whereas, The burden and suffer-
ing of war are always placed upon the
working classes, while the glories and
profits are never shared with them;
and, a
Whereas, War with Mexico would
develop military ideals which would
submerge the constructive ideals for
which organized labor stands; and,
Whereas, Intervention by America
would not operate to give the lands of
Mexico to the people of Mexico, but
would result IN gntoh safferings to
