SAYS PEOPLE WANT 1T

One of the city officers told us that
he approved Of our editorial last week
but only about two per cent Of the
business men and church people were
in favor of upholding the higher law.
so he was poweress to do anything.
He said the eastern cities had tried
it and failed and were going back TO
The old way. He said men whom you
would be surprised to know, had told
him that such houses and practices
were a necessity to any town.
We are not going to argue the case
because it don't make good reading
matter for the boys and girls, but
there may he members Of churches in
Tucumcari who believe in such re-
sorts but they don't talk that way TO
their wives and daughters. They
would not choose young man for a
son-in-law who spent his money in
such houses. No girl would be as
safe in the hands of that kind of a
young man as she would be in the
courtship Of a young man who prides
his honor above the opportunities as
protected by the laws of few men.
We did not start this subject for
the popularity of the thing but we
believe in Tucumcari and know it Is
far better than many other places, in
many respects. The better class of
citizenship is located here as we'll as
1t Is any where in the state.
Quay county does not deserve the
reputation some would have you be.
lieve it enjoys when they tell you its
courts Of justice are too lenient with
the crook and IL is safe to commit Q
murder in this county. This is nc
more true here than any other county
in any state in the union.
Out of more than $50 murders In
the state Of New Mexico, Quay coun,
ty only had three to her discredit. We
arc living in new country which II
fast being settled with progressiv,
people from everywhere and there II
no reason why we should say tha'
only two per cent of the citizens Of
Tucumcari, are for clean town anC
not "wide-open."

SMILE AGAIN

Do you remember that smile that
escaped you the other day and flood
ed your face with sunshine, and il
brought joy to the hearts of your
friends and the little ones as you
passed them on the streets?
That smile was contagious. II was
spread from you to others, and from
them to still others, and kept on grow
ing, and is still travelling from face
to face somewhere in this world.
DO il again, and do it often--do i,
every day.
A smile is worth much and costs
nothing.
II is pearl without price.
And it is u gift which you may he.
stow upon others without trouble OF
loss to yourself, boon to humanity
which encourages, and elevates, and
ennobles the giver as well as the re-
cipient.
Smile again--and keep smiling.

CELEBRATE FOURTH
WITH BIG BALL GAME
III Paso Will BE Here and Tucumcari
is Praeticing Every Day Prepar-
ing 10 Win Game

The Base Ball Team is out every
day for practice in anticipation of the
games July and s, with the FL Paso
team. We have fourteen players all
striving earnestly for place and for
the first time in nearly five years we
will be able to put out a really first
class out-feld. Our infeld and bat
terry work is now practically settled,
and team as at present composed will
make the best of them hustle.
The grounds have been worked on
for the past week and now presents
as good an appearance as nearly any
class ID league diamond in the coun-
try.
The management states the ad-
mission TO grand stand has been re-
duced and they are now working very
strenuously to pay balance of indebt-
edness against the stand so that n
further reduction can be made. The
fans should show their appreciation
of the boys efforts by supporting
them by attending the games, thus
insuring good sport for the summer
at small cost, in spite of heavy ex-
penses IL involves to bring teams to
this city.
FL Paso writes that they have add
ed new players which has strength
ened them considerably since their
first game and will arrive on No. 2
July 4th.

GERMAN REPLY TO BE
PACIFIC TO UNITED STATES

Washington, ID. c., June ga ia
vorable reply by Germany to the last
American note on submarine warfare
in indicated in today's state depart
ment advices from Berlin. Advices
came from Ambassador Gerard and
were notably the first of definite ma
ture received since the American note
reached the German foreign Office.
The exact nature of the ambassadors
message was not divulged, and IL did
not become known whether he reveal
ed any indication of the trend of the
forthcoming German reply. The am
bassador's dispatch was of such re-
cent date however, to put officials In
an optimistic attitude. II was COM
municated ut once to President VIII
son at the summer White House at
Cornish, N. II.
Ambassador Gerard based his obser-
vances on the favorable effect which
the visit of DR.. Anton Meyer Gerhard
emissary Of Count Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador of here, had pro-
duced on officials of the German gov
ernment. DR.. Gerhard, it was under
stood by Ambassador Gerhard, has re-
ported that public opinion in the Uni
ted States had been growing more and
more favorable to Germany when the
sinking of the Lusitania undid what
had been accomplished.
Gerhard made it clear also that the
United States did not want war, but
wanted satisfactory reply to its rep
| reservations.
German officials are eager. accord
ing to Ambassador Gerard's report, to
give such an answer, but they have
made it clear that Germany cannot
make any concessions which would
destroy the effectiveness of the sub
marine. The German government, it
is understood, is seeking to find some
method oy which Americans travelling
in ships primarily used for passengers
traffic shall be safe while the subma-
rine continues its activities against
freight ships carrying contraband.
Just what proposal Germany will
make, officials here cannot conjecture,
but since Germany seems to be will
ing to safeguard the rights of Amer
leans on ships primarily engaged in
passenger traffic, an adherence to the
principles expressed in the American
note that non-combatants should be
immune from attack--would seem, in
the opinion of officials here, to be rec
ognized.
No information had been received
on what the attitude of Germany
would be toward assuming liability
for the loss of American lives on the
Lusitania, but the feeling prevails
that If a satisfactory arrangement
can be made as to the future conduc.
towards vessels carrying Americans
Germany would suggest basis for a
favorable adjustment of the Lusita.

WILL CELEBRATE SATURDAY

A number Of our citizens are ex-
pecting to attend the celebration at
McAlister on the plains Saturday. The
speakers will probably be Henry Swan
who will address the citizens on the
needs of more stable citizenship, in
other words he is going to relate some
ol the experiences he had in the last
session of the state legislature. Judge
Cutlip will also speak and it is sup
posed that this will be his initial bow
to the public in which he will let it
he known that the political bee has
informed him that he was to make
the race for district attorney. Cutlip
is campaigner and "a politician and
may not fiji the requirements of some
people for the position, but IL will
take q genuine politician to beat him
for any Office he seeks and don't you
forget il.

ELK STORE ROBBED
TWO SUSPECTS HELD
Two Suspects Arrested Charged With
Theft. SheriG's Department IL
Tightening the Lid"

Another store was robbed this week
and two suspects are now in the hands
of the officers awaiting their prelimi-
nary trial.
This time il was the Elk Drug Store
which was entered from the basement
where the robbers used brace and
bit to cut a board in two so they or
he could get up through and have free
access TO the interior of the store.
They made n nice haul and secured
some $40 or $50 in cash and possibly
some other valuable articles, but the
other stuff taken has not been made
public.
Immediately upon hearing of this
theft the sheriff's department took
full charge Of the case and all day
Wednesday worked faithfully on the
slight clew they had gained and we
understand the parties arrested were
in the railroad yards fully intending
To shake the Tucumcari dust from
their feet and depart for other parts
where they would necessarily keep up
the plan Of campaign commenced for
livlihood. The preliminary will be
held soon and no doubt will bring out
the findings of the officers.
A few days ago two carpenters lost
tools from their chests and these tools
will perhaps have something to do
with the case.
Sheriff Ward is tightening down on
the city generally because of the fact
that the allowing of one wrong invites
the entering of other wrongs. He has
been studying out his plan of ridding
this city Of worthless characters who
do not work and depend on some un.
known means Of support and we will
miss our guess If he and his assist.
ants do not stir up something tina,
will startle the natives unless ther,
is a radical change in their tempera.
ment.
The better class of citizenship does
not approve of the argument tina,
things are allowed to run in othe,
towns why not let them run here?
This capture will perhaps lead tc
something which will throw som,
light on the robbery of the Israe
store a few days ago. 1t is hoped tn,
right parties are captured and IL there
are others implicated they will be ap
pretended and made to pay the pen
atty due them.

COMPLIMENTS BRIDGE

Bridge Inspector Farwell came in
Saturday and inspected the new Re-
vuelto bridge and pronounced it an
excellent job in every particular. He
was especially complimentary to the
inspector the Quay county commits
sioners placed on the job TO see that
1t was built right. Geo. Tate was the
man chosen and from all reports he
was johnny on the spot at all times
and has saved the county many times
his salary perhaps and a bridge has
been erected which will be of lasting
good to all who should chance to trav-
el that way.

SHIPS CAR OF BUTTER

The Crescent Creamery shipped out
car load of butter to FL Paso this
week. This company has been oper-
ating only short time since II re-
opened but it fast becoming the CEN
ter of this part of the state. Mr..
Quinlan who is well acquainted with
this territory has the confidence of
the shippers and intends to hold il
as long as he is in charge of the To-
cal creamery. Being interested finan-
cially we are expecting great things
Of him and those who are assisting
in putting the creamery in shape to
compete with any in the southwest.
Large shipments are being received
every day but Mr.. Quinlan says they
can handle more and desires every
shipper in this territory to communi-
cate with him and make satisfactory
arrangements TO ship cream to this
city.
The main fault with this part of
the country is that too many farmers
are content to handle cattle for beef
purposes alone. There is no doubt
money in IL for the man who has a
good bank account to start with, but
the man who Is only able to own n
few cows should take up the grade
he can use 20 advantage for both beef
and dairy purposes. There is money
in handling good dairy cattle hut il
takes work to get it out. Most any
business resuires work to get money
out OF it, so the farmer will help the
creamery and the creamery will help
the farmer to make this country more
prosperous than any other one propo-
| sitiOn available at present.

EXPERIMENT FARM NOTES

Supt. Smlth OF the EXPERIMENT farm
was in Monday and says the crops
at the farm are doing nicely with the
possible exception of the oats.
Wheat and oats are ready to har-
vest and winter wheat will turn out
about 10 bushels while spriiy wheat
will go IL.
He intends TO hold big water
melon picnic some time about the mid
die of August.
Another adobe tool shed is being
built the size of which will be about
80 by 80 feet.
A mile of road has been graded and
clayed extending along the premises
from the houses toward Tucumcari
and after a rain or two he thinks IL
will be regular boulevard, just the
place to see how fast your car can
run.

SHERIFF PUTS LID ON

Sheriff Ward informs us that he
has notified all the stores and places
Of business that punch boards or any
slot machine or gambling device will
be forbidden hereafter. He served a
personal notice on each place and
wants IL distinctly understood that he
means 10 arrest the first one caught
disobeying the order and this notice
was the first and last. The sheriff
means business and is taking steps to
otherwise clean up Tucumcari.

STORES WILL CLOSE

From all appearance most every
store in town will be closed Monday
afternoon and give the clerks chance
to go out and witness the ball game,
There Is nothing special on for that
day but II is so far TO go to any other
town that is celebrating that most
of us feel ourselves lucky TO have the
opportunity to witness what promis-
es TO be a dandy base ball game.
