LISTEN TO THIS

That the Willis administration is
nursing a folorn hope in its sizeup
of national affairs is everyday more
evident. Factories are beginning to
boom, million dollar orders are be-
ing placed, and there is no doubt
that the good times have burst the
bands of restraint laid on them by
Wall Street. Even the New York
Sun, which has been the most rabid
critic of President Wilson and his
policies, is now out with strong ed
itorial commencing the president
which closes as follows;
with only two exceptions
Washington and Lincoln-has
any president of the United
States had so many and peril
Gus situations to confront and
manage as had President Will
son. He has upheld the honor
and dignity of the government
and preserved peace. The peo-
pie of the United States owe
him for these things their CRATE
full support. That open advo-
cacy of war against Mexico by
some of the presidents opon-
nents and the passionate advo-
cacy of war against Germany by
former president Roosevelt indi-
Gates clearly what might have
happened if the helm of the ship
of State had been in other hands.
And it is possible that not half
the difficulties the trials and lab
ors Of the calm, composed and
firm patriot who now has large
ly the destinies of the country
in his keeping, are known to
his people"

"The man who loves his country
on his own account and not merely
for its trappings of interest or power,
can never be divorced from 1t, can
never refuse to come forward when
he finds that she is engaged in dan

waruing off.

BEET SUGAR THEORY ExPLoDEs

A beet sugar factory in Nebraska,
in settling its accounts with growers
at the end of the recent fiscal year
for that business, found that it had
made so much money that it's owners
voluntarily paid to the growers so
cents a ton more than they had
agreed at the beginning of the plant
ing season. The beet sugar factories
of the country, it will be remembered
were all to have been compelled to

cratic tariff law went into effect be-

FOSTER ADVISES FARMERS
TO HOLD THEIR GRAIN

Foster, the weather forecaster, ad-
vises farmers who can to hold on to
their grain In his last bulletin he
says:
"Again we warn farmers that this
is not the time to sell grain and cot
ton. Many will be compelled to sell
but those who can hold should do so.
All of Europe and many of our big
spectators are getting grain and cot
ton at comparatively low prcies. The
combinations for those purposes never
were so large and powerful. Drought
will damage late cotton. Better hold
it.
eve particularly advise all our Am
erican grain dealers to buy and hold
all the grain they can. Europe must
have grain and they will soon pay
good prices. Cotton occupies the same
position as grain. Europe must have
both and will get them.
"There are no indications of an ear
ly closing of the European war. Amer
leans should be absolutely neutral. We
want our farmers and mechanics to
sell their products to all the nations
of Europe and therefore we should be
scrupulously fair with all interests
over there. 1t is not our fight. We
have no right to NEEDLE with their
business. But we want to feed and
clothe them and sell to them whatever
they can pay for and transport for
their own use. But do not sell farm
products, particularly grain, at this
time"

HERE LIES A MAN.

Teach me that sixty minutes make
one hour, sixteen ounces one pound,
and one hundred cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that l can lie
down at night with a clear conscience
without gun under my pillow, and
un-haunted by the faces of those to
whom have brought pain.
Grant, I beseech Thee, that I may
earn my meal ticket on the square, and
in the doing thereof I may not stick
the gaff where it does not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
money and the rustic of unholy skirts.
Blind me to the faults of the other fel-
low, but reveal to me my own.
Guide me so that each night when I
look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been blessing to me,
/ will have nothing to conceal
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself in
their play.
And when comes the smell of flow
ers, and the tread of soft steps, and
the crushing of the hearse's wheels in
the gravel out in front of my place,
make the ceremony short and the cpl
taph simple, "Here Lies A Man"
HOMER MCKEE.

Responsibility for Accidents.

Marmarth Mail: The Mail has
watched with interest the progress of
a case involving responsibility for a
road accident into which a rather new
element has been officially introduced.
In a western North Dakota county,
when the roads were slippery after a
rain, an auto skidded into the ditch,
where it overturned, killing it's two &C.
cupants, local farmer and his hired
man. There was no deep hole, broken
culvert, or other obstruction of that
character, but at the inquest it was
stated that the road was in dangerous
condition by reason of its having been
made so high and so narrow that care
full driving was necessary to pass in
safety even when the earth was dry.
The coroner adjourned the inquest in
order that he might make a personal
inspection of the road at that spot, the
presumption being that the findings
would be influenced by what he found.
There is thus introduced the principle,
for the first time in this state, it is be-

I. |. RUTHERFORD SUICIDES AT
 HOTEL
IS BELIEVED TO HAVE TAKEN DOSE OF CY- ANIDE; LIVED HERE FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

T. L. Rutherford of Albuquerque, \. M., who has been a resident of this city for the past ten months, yester- day morning committed suicide in his room at a local hotel, it is said by taking a dose of cyanide of potassium.
 The discovery was made by Sam Wallace, proprietor of local clean ing establishment by whom the sui eide had been employed. It had been customary for Rutherford to open up the cleaning store each morning be fore Wallace's arrival. Yesterday morning after opening the shop Ru therford returned to his room.
 Wallace on his arrival at the store found his employc absent and imme- diately went to the hotel to. see if he had taken sick.
 When he opened the door to Ru therford's room ne discovered him on his bed, half dressed. Ruthcrford's face was very pale. Wallace called 10 him, but he failed to answer.
 Taking it for granted that Ruther- ford was dead he called Dr. South worth.
 After feeling of the mans pulse Dr. Southworth pronounced him dead. On looking around the room the physi- clan discovered small piece of wrap ping paper taken from the cleaning store which contained white powder which was afterward pronounced cyanide.
 In a glass discovered near the wash stand was found a number of white specks showing that Rutherford had mixed the powder with water before drinking it, if that is how he met his death.
 Cyanide is used in most all cleaning establishments and it is supposed that the suicide took it from the Wallace store
 Judge McLanc, who was called inn mediately after the physician pro nounced the man dead, subpocnaed jury of six to view the remains which were later taken to Ruffner's under taking parlors. The inquest to deter mine the exact cause of death will be held this morning at 10 o'clock.
 Why Rutherford committed suicide is a mystery. He was single and a member of the Moose lodge of Al buquerque, N. M. Letters found on his person show that he nas parents living in that city. His age is esti- mated at 2 or 28 years. He came to work for Wallace last February from Tucson.

NO PEACE ECHO

LONDON, Dec. 6.-Peace talk from the Vatician, Switzerland and Scandinavia and that aroused in the Reichstag by the socialists, evokes no echo in London. The British are prepared to believe that the Austrians are tired of the war and that the Germans with their knowledge of heavy losses on the different fronts, may be anxious to see 1t end, but the British do not expect the Teutons to make any suggestions that the British would or could consent to.
 The British are more interested in the new Allies joint war council which met today in Paris. They hope that by this means the war will be prosecuted more en- ergetically and that efforts will be made to clear the diplomatic difficulties in the Balkans. There is but little fighting on the differ ent fronts.

INTERVAL CRISIS FACES GREEK
 GOVERNMENT
VENIZELOS DENOUNCES IRRIGATION OF CON- STITUTIONAL RIGHTS; KING GIVES HIS VIEWS.

PARIS, Dec. 6.-Former Premier Venizelos of Greece has issued a manifesto in the name of the liberal party, advising the people not to vote al the coming general elections, and charging a virtual suppression of the constitutional regime in the dissolu- ton of the chamber of deputies.
 The Greek government prevented the transmission of the manifesto by telegraph and it was received here by mail.
 It calls attention to the fact that the internal crisis in Greece was brought about solely by wrestling the supreme power from those to whom the peo- pie had confded it at the last election.
 Venizelos says: 'Daily the constr tuition is being deformed' into a sim pie scrap of paper and we find our selves at present in position of de viation from our policies amounting to a complete suppression of the con stitional regime"
