THE HAY BILL

The army increase bill is known
as the Hay bill, and passed the
House of Representatives by a vote
of 402 to 2. It was fathered by
Mr.. Hay of Virginia, and the two
who opposed it were Representa-
tives Britain of Illinois and Lon
don of New York, the first because
he believed the measure made.
quate, the second because opposi-
ton to war is one of the principal
theoretical doctrines of the Social
lists. The bin provides for the
enlargement of the regular army
to a peace strength of 100000 fight
ing men, and a peace reserve of
$4,000 men within five years, a
reserve force of $4,000 trained Of
Ulcers, a complete industrial re-
serve system whereby the re-
sources of the nation can be quick
ly modified for its defense. The
maintenance of summer training
camps is another practical and now
ell provision of the new legisla-
tion.
The reserve army plan is an am
plification of the present national
guard or state militia, only it is to
be more directly under federal con-
troll. During the Spanish-Ameri-
can War there was great delay in
mobilizing the national guard, and
the new preparedness measure is
calculated to obviate this difficult
ty. The Hay bill, for which the
president assumes full responsible
ity, now goes to the Senate for con-
sideration by that body.

DUR CITY ELECTION

For the first time in the history
of the town of Lordsburg the vot-
ers will be given an opportunity
to cast a ballot having in its power
the entire future of the city. The
outlook is at present indicative
that they will do their best.
A ticket has been nominated by
a citizens mass meeting. The can
didates are property owners and
successful business men Of our
town. They stand for progress and
advancement and are men with the
ability TO face the many issues
that now confront our town.
As yet no other ticket has been
announced, but should another
come to the front by Tuesday, there
will doubtless be worthy men con-
tanned in the list.
The voter of Lordsburg should
analyze his man.. Vote for the non
politician. KEEP POLITICS OUT
OF THIS ELECTION.
A city election is no place for
politician p%rejudices. The man
and his convictions are the para
mount issues.
Look forward to a bigger and
better Lordsburg.
Do your part as a citizen that
you may count for something in
the affairs of Lordsburg. Pledge
your word and honor so long as
you live in the town or the COM
munity it shall be your aim to help
it in everything that tends to its
improvement. Submit to the will
of the majority and don't growl.
Keep in mind that if the town is
good enough to make your money
in, it is good enough to spend it
in, and buy everything that you
need that your home merchant car
ries, from him. Say something
good of the town and its people.
If a project to improve the town
comes up, don't hoot-help. The
citizen who knocks and yells hard
times is preaching the funeral SER
mon of the town. Work for beau
ty and cleanliness in Lordsburg
which stands for healthier fami.
lies, happier homes, higher real
estate values and better citizen
ship.
Let your convictions be known
in the election now at hand. Stand
for what is right. Protect your
interests.
Work for L%ordsburg above all
other things and cast your ballot
for whom you believe to be the
best men for their offices.

What's a Man Worth?

The labor market is so regulated
chat the man with a family com
9etes with the man without a fam
ily, and the lowest bidder sets the
rates. The single man sets the
standard for the married man, and
me manufacturer accepts the price
If the lowest bidder.
The single mar gets as much as
the man with three children to
support. Is it true or not that we
want men and women to raise fami-
lies in this country? If so, the only
way to do it is to give a man income
n proportion to mis- family needs,
and which increases with them.
The present system fails to provide
for the children who will be the
next generation of workers. If we
are to stand as a nation, we have
got TO reward a man according to
mis- family needs, and according to
the obligations he has assumed,
and according to the service he
renders.

tied by one of Slim Plugs ponies
last week, filled the tick with wood
shavings Tuesday, and hoped to

A GOOD SUGGESTION

The suggestion made that the

erection and conduct of a hospital
here is a good one and should re-
ceive the unanimous support of ev-

The ladies of Deming and Silver

wife says he never ate noodles for
breakfast so cheerfully as he did on
the fatal day. The swallows were
singing in the stovepipe, the crick-

and the dishes taking their morn
ing bath, when the mayor passed
the dog house. Nobody suspected
anything. It was all so sudden.
In less than a minute our dearly be-
loved mayor stepped into the
Pumpkin Hill drug store. The
clerk gave a nod. The mayor asked
for rough on rats. The clerk pro-
duced the package. The mayor

L~ORDSBURG
MEN TO FEEL PROUD OF

Lordsburg has a well-founded
right to feel proud of its men, boys
and women after the incident of
Sunday night and Monday morn
ing, when from what was believed
to be authentic information at the
time, Lordsburg was in danger of
an attack by Mexican bandits.
While it was proven that there
was nc truth in the reports circul-
ated and no traces of any band
could be found, the affair gave the
men an opportunity to show their
c%olors, what they were made of,
and what action they would take
in case a crisis should come. The
women, too, remained calm, and,
as best they could, aided.
There were no yellow streaks in
Lordsburg.
When the alarm was sounded
every man and boy shouldered
whatever arms he possessed and
offered his assistance for the de-
Tense of our city. From nine
o'clock in the evening until late
the following morning our towns
guardians kept vigil and made pre-
paration for whatever might come.
There were no "pikers." To the
last man they showed true loyalty
and the patriotism which makes us
all proud of America. LOrdsburg
was ready, and, had any attack
been made, there was prepared a
stronghold that would have left
tell-tale marks.

The present devastating war in
Europe is coming to be known as
the greatest cplme in history"
Let's it's curse fall upon the heads
IF those who refused to arbitrate
the assassination of the Austrian
Grand Duke and his wife at Sara
jevo. 1t is about time that the
people took it upon themselves to
make an end of all this royal and
imperial foolishness.
We have heard much of French
righteousness, especially during
the present great war, but the fol-
lowing expedient is an eye opener.
In order to meet with a maximum
number of men the great massed
drives of the Germans at Verdun,
only as few as possible are spared
from the fighting front. No large
number of men, if possible, are re-
tanned by the military authorities
to guard the Germans who have
been captured in the numerous en-
gagements, but the prisoners have
their suspenders and trouser but
tons removed, and a large V cut
from the belt, rendering escape i'm
practicable. Any man who has
ever had an accidental mishap,
comprising any of the main fea-
lures of this scheme, will appre-
ciate at once the absolute effect
iyeness of such measures.

cracy will be a go in China. Po-
ker is fast superseding all other
