Truth

The tension resulting from the
pntty wrangle over the salaries meas
ure was relieved only once this
morning. That was when Judge
ToOmbs of Union county, in the
course of a speech said;
The people Of Union county did
not send me here
Before be could continue with his
sentence. Representative Skidmcre,
Of COlfax county, who was sitting
nearby, exclaimed;
You're dead right, they didn't"
General laughter, that further in
terrup.ed Judge Toombs' remarks,
resulted. Santa Fe New Mexican,

ROOst on a Log

Representative G. c. Smith before
leaving the city the first Of the
wee X, told little story
illustrative Of the position which
Judge Toombs will hereafter occupy
in relation to the people Of Uni1n
county The scene is laid Ncorn-
field in the heavily timbered section
Of Smith ct unity, Texas. Once
upon time an old farmer got out
his Misunderstanding shotgun and went
tuTkev hunting, After hiding sever
al hours behind a corn shock bunch
Of turkey came close enough to afford
q shot, and the hunter leveled his
gun and cracked-down on the big
gest gObbler in the flock. The
winged bird flopped about as is the
fashion Of wounded gobblers, while
the remainder Of the flock immediate
" scampered 70. the tall and uncut.
The hunter threw down his gun and
started after the wounded bird
which by this time lad reRained a
part of its powers of locomotion and
was attempting to follow its fellows.
The race was a close one to the fence
which the gobbler gained as the
farmer was grabbing for him. As he
flew the hunters hand closed on his
tail feathers and they were left in
his possession. As the old gentle
man watched his contemplated din
ner slipping of through the forest ke
placed his arms akimbo on top Ol
the fence and delivered himself OF
the following classic: Go! Go You
ragged tailed, cowardly son-of-a-
gun! When the rest Of Gods
feathered fowls are perched on the
topmost branches Of yonder gigantic
oak. Yanl You ragged tailed, pot.
cheating outcast from the proud
members of your kind, will be

Mrs. Benton Stewart, Dead

Mrs. Benton Stewart, a resident
of Clayton for the past twenty-three
years, died at Mineral Wells. Texas,
last Thursday week, where she had
been taken in hope that the climate
and waters of that famous resort
would restore her health. Mrs.
Stewart had long been a suffered
from rheumatism, and death resulted
from the disease reaching her heart.
She was accompanied south by her
daughter, Miss Ethel, who was with
her at the time OF death. Tbe re-
mains were inferred at Dallas, the
former home Of the family. Benton
Stewart, jr, of this city, attended
the funeral Mr.. Stewart, the
husband and father, owing to feeble
health, was unable to attend. Many
messages Of coincidence and sympathy
were sent from this city. The News
expressed the sentiments of the
eRtire community in extending
heartfelt sympathy to the bereAved
family.

cumstances that surround him, while
the people Of Union county bow their
heads aud mourn over the loss of
their sacred right to choose their rep
resentatives in this legislative body !;
for they know better than any other
man or set of men whom they went
to represent them 1T this the capitol
Of our state. They will never accept
this man as their representative in
this house; the people OF Union
county, that prosperous community
situate on The plains in the north
eastern part Of the safe, are not the
kind of citizens to surrender un-
conditionally. They settled the
question on the third day Of Nov
vember, last, as to who should stand
gurd over their rights in this legisla
tive assembly.
To steal is to take something of
ealue without the knowledge or con-
seat Of the owner, but to trample un-
der foot the. constitution of our state
aud destroy the sacred rights Of our
free ballot is not stealing have
heard it said since have been in
Santa Fe that an action of this kind
cannot be called stealing and my few
days association with this legislative
body promots me to believe that the
school where this doctrine is taught
is the school where the majority of
this legislative body received their
training.
Gentlemen, assure you that my
personal feelings in this matter are
Of minor importance. am not re.
senting the action taken here be-
cause ] feel that have been done such
grave injustice, but because Of the
injustice that you have done the peo-
pie of my county and the state at
large. As have explained before,
the people Of Union county know bet
tel whom they want to represent
them at this place than the members
of this legislative body or anv other
set Of men that you may choose to
act as a committee. There is prin-
ciple involved. The constitution of
these United States guarantees US
the freedom of speech and the press.
l claim that the principles upon
which our very constitution is
founded have been dragged in the
dust, and the honesty and integrity
of men like Patrick Henry, Thomas
Jefferson and Abraham Lincon has
been assai'ed
This is new state just rising
from beyond the hOrizon-just
coming into light among those bril-
liant stars that are already shining
under the Stars and Stripes, New
Mexico has great natural wealth; she
has an intelligent citizenship with
the exception Of possibly a few who
by accident or otherwise have pushed
themselves under the limelight. We
are destined to become one of the
greatest states in this union by reason
of our natural wealth and opportuni-
ties; but, gentlemen, ! want to tell
You that before you can reach out
and extend to your fellow men east
Of the Mississippi, the hand Of wei
come and friendship into your bOr-
ders you will have to demonstrate
that this state is controlled by men
of honesty in political as well as in
private life"

Democrats to Meet

We are in receipt of letter from
State Chairman J H. Paxton. con-
tanning call forS meeting Of the
Democratic State Central Committee
to meet in the city Of Santa Fe on
the 18th Of the present month. All
democrats who have the welfare of
the party and people at heart, are
invited to attend the meeting. With
the republicans in the legislature
running amuck and bringing dis
grace upon the state, it Is evident
that the hope and salvation of New
Mexico depends upon the democratic
party, aud these iore IL is imperative
that all democrats and other good
citizens who have the best interests
Of the state at heart, attend the
meeting.

Not Desire Publicity

Application was made To the cen
sors committee OF the Commercial
club today for a credential card by
party representing himself as au-

for the poor orphans I'm portions of
Aslatic Turkey. The committee in
vestigated the mans credentials,
which were numerous and elaborate.
but were not satisfied with the meth
DDS of collecting and sending forward
the money collected. The man claim
ed that he had been soliciting for two
years. and during that time had for
warded TO his headquarters $1,000 in
two different installments. but had
sent nothing since.
His papers were all about year
old I'm date, and he stated that what
he collected now would be held until
the end of the war before being for
warded. He strenuously objected TO
giving his name to the newspapers,
or having his business mentioned in
newspaper columns, becoming very
much excited at the mere thought of
publicity I'm connection with his soil
citation of funds. The credentials
committee were of the opinion that
the expense of collecting the money,
and the uncertainty of IL reaching the
orphans for whom IL was TO be given.
