What We Must Have.

The following editorial from
the Albuquerque Journal applies
with so much force to our own
state of Arizona that we gladly
reprint it as the personal express
sion of the Winslow Mail. Men
are sent to Washington as sena-
tors and representatives to work
for the best interests of the
state, and not as ambassadors to
society functions.
Speaking Of the election of
senator from Florida, next year,
the Key West Journal says:
If you employed a man at a
salary of ST, 500 a year and al
lowed him an expense account in
addition, you'd expect that man
to produce results, wouldn't you?
Florida is going to employ a man
to represent her in the United
States senate next year. Let's
employ a man that can produce. "
AS Golfers says, this is a raw
land frank expression of pork
barrel sentiment" but we fully
endorse if for the state of New
Mexico for the simple reason
that, for more than sixty years,
as territory and state, this Sec
tion has been neglected by the
federal government.
We ask for New Mexico no
more than common justice, which
we can not hope to get except
through the men who represent
us in the senate and house of the
national congress.
In congress we should have
men who will forget about MAX
ing regulations for themselves in
the discution of national and
international politics, forget
about impressing their greatness
upon other members of congress,
forget the social distinctions
which come to them in Washing
ton and devote their energies to
doing things for their neglected
constituency in New Mexico.
Getting an appointment to
office for some citizen of New
Mexico is of no consequence to
the welfare of the state general
ly. What we need is develope-
ment of our roads and our re-
sources, coupled, of course, with
the general building up of the
schools.
Our area is so great and our
population so sparse, that federal
assistance Tor New Mexico must
be had. We ask no money from
Washington if we can only have
the millions of acres of land
within our borders, owned by
the federal government.
The unappropriated public
lands can be had for the state if
we send men to Washington who
go to get them, instead of frit-
tering away their time on nation
al matters and in social ameni-
ties, all of which may be very
pleasant for them but gets moth
ing for us.

Reading the war news these
days is not very different from a
foot ball game recital. After a
fierce engagement the result is
that one side or the other gained
the fifty or hundred yard line.

The Sort of Girl to Wait For

The Girl who is unkind to her
Mother isn't worth a tinker's
doggone. This isn't written in
any part of the Bible, but it's
written in the history of thous-
ands and thousands of misfj'
homes. If one of yon boys ev,
run across girl with her fad
full of roses; with eyes tha
would dim the lustre of a Color
ado sky, and with a voice that
would make the songs of an
angel seem discordant, and she
says as she comes TO he door: 81
can't go for few minutes; I've
got to help mother with the
dishes," don't give her up. Stick
10 her like a burr 10 a mules
tail. Just sit down on the door
steps and wait. If she joins you
in two or three minutes, so much
the better; but if you have to
stay there on the door step for
half an hour, or an hour you
just wait for her. If you don't,
somebody else will. and in time
youll be sorry. For oa'll real
lze what you have lost.
Wait for her, boy. She's
worth it.-Bulletin.

Is it Right or Is it Law

On July the 3rd, 1914, DIR. /.
Monroe Rallings, a legally and
lawfully appointed cattle inspec.
tor of Chesterfield county, ap-
pointed bv the State Authorities,
came to my home and he and
myself with the assistance OF
one or two others, sprayed 19
head OF my cattle. The follow
ing day they began to die and
continued until 10 head of the
l9 sprayed died.
DR.. Rallings was instructed
by the State authorities how to
dilute the medicine for spraying
and how the cattle should be
handled, and if they gave him
the correct information he car
Iled 1t out to the letter; he was
egen more careful than | would
have been had 1 been preparing
the medicine. He measured the
medicine and water each and
every time, and prepared only
enough to spray one COW each
time DIR. Rallings and others
had told me that the proportion
was l to 9. To see if he was
preparing it that way counted
after him several times, and his
counts were correct. DR.. Earle
OF Cheraw prepared the barrel
OF medicine, from which DR..
Ralllngs sprayed my cattle. DR..
Raillngs was working under the
of DR.. Earle. DR..
Ralllngs knew nothing of the
real strength of the solution: that
was none of his business. It
was his business to take the
solution as DR.. Earle had pre-
pared 1t, dilute it l of medicine

made an autopsy" of one of the
dead ones. After DR.. Earle had
satisfied himself, as to the con.
ditions and cause of the death OF

thought. He replied that it must
be a case of arsenical poisoning.

The government furnishes DR..
Earle with an apparatus for the
testing of all solutions.
DR.. Earle tested the medicine
after my cattle had been sprayed
and part of them were dead and
he told DR.. Rallings that he had
made it little too strong. After
making the barrel of solution he
should have tested it before any
of it was used but he didn't do it.
He told DR.. Rallings that he did
moi test it after he prepared it.
Still DR.. Earle is allowed to re-
tain mis- place. in the beginning
DR.. Earle talked very fair and
seemed willing to do the right
thing about the matter, realizing
as he did that it was his careless
ness that caused the death of
my cattle, and not DR.. Rallings.
DrS. Lewis and Earle came to
see me one day recently con-
corning the matter and they
efuse to pay me for my ca til e
or to assist me in any way TO get
pay for them. From their con-
versation l am lead to believe
that DR.. Earle has or is trying to
lay the blame on DR.. Rallings,
who is perfectly innocent.
1t really seems that proficien-
cy and honest conscientious
work does not count for any
thing in the tick eradication
work in Chesterfield county. If
so, some of the ones whose ser
vices have terminated would
have been retained, while some
of the others services would
have terminated. No man in

The State, Friday.
The vital statistics law. which
was signed September will
become effective today, though
local registrars for about 200
townships in the State have not
yet been appointed. A prize
will be given to the first regis
trar correctly reporting birth
or death, with the element of
time of transmission of the
report taken into consideration.
Rules and regulations for the
proper registration of births and
deaths have been promulgated
by the bureau, according to the
provisions of the act, and forms
have been sent all appointees, or
local registrars, who must
appoint deputy registrars
to serve in their places in case of
absence or disability.
Under the regulations a per-
NIT for burial issued by local
registrar must be obtained before
the body of a person can be
inferred. This duty devolves
upon the undertaken. who in
turn has it checked by the per
son in charge of the burying
ground. The attending physici-
an also has to fill out a certifi-
cate. The attending physician
or midwife at a birth must file a
certificate within ten days after
date OF birth, and in cases where
neither are present this duty
devolves on the father or mother
of the child.
The law provides that a local
registrar shall receive rs cents
for each birth and death certifi-
cate, properly executed and filed
with the Statau trar. On the

Five Months Bring No Victory

London, Dec. 3l.-Thc New
Year finds beligerenlS in Europe
after five months of war fighting
as strongly as at the beginning,
but seemingly without prospects
of immediate victory. The Aus
trians again have been driven
out of the greater part of GdIicia,
and according to a Vienna state
ment, the Russians have crossed
the Carpathins for the third time
but in Poland, where an impor.
tant battle is in progress, the
armies of the Russian and Ger
man emperorS still are fighting
for the banks Of the rivers winch

casionally, however, by artillery

they performed much nearer their
real standard and gave promise Of a
successful trip. -,
The last eastern jaUnt was a good
one, the best a South Side team has
experienced in several seasons. The
men played interested and intelligent
baseball, and worked every minute
of every inning. That is the only
kind of game that will have any eff
feet on the lead of the Red Sox, for
CaTrigan's team is now at the top of
its game.
So far the new outfieId shift has
not worked out as well as was eX-
pected Eddie Murphy was off to a
bad fielding start, but has become &C
quainted with the deadly SOX sun
field and is doing better. His batting,
however, is not mastadonic and must
improve.
John Collins has sIUmped badly
ever since the team has been at home,
while Roth and iebOId, both fairly
good men, sit on the bench. Roth
has batted in good fashion every time
he was put to work regularly. At
one time it was planned to replace
Collins with LebOld, but at that time
Memo was suffering a lame ankle and
the switch did not go through. It is
presumed Memo is still lame, as he
has been used only as a pinch hitter.
Happy FeIsch is playing fine ball

coin year after year in minor pros
poets who failed to scintiIlate.
Right at this jUncture the Red Sox
look like the best bet for the pennant,
but the South Siders are still vigor-
oUsIy in the hunt, and by playing up
