SUSPICIOUS UTILIZATION

The New York World sounds a note of warning to forward looking Ameri- cans in a ringing editorial on Wall Street jubilation over the fact that the Republicans carried Maine, a victory which political wiseacres of both great parties concede to indicate that Presi- dent Wilson will win handsomely in November. The editorial in part is as follows:
 Wall Street marked up the price of stocks yesterday in the belief that the returns from Maine fogeshadowed the { election of MT. Hughes.
 Wall Street political judgment is never very sound, but Wall Street makes no mistake in it's interpretation of the meaning of MT. Hughes cleo tion. A Hughes victory would be vic tory for reaction, a victory for the trusts, victory for all the great finan- cial interests that have lost their con- trol over the United States govern ment since Woodrow Wilson became president. Even the possibility of such a triumph deserves the enthusiastic recognition that it receIveu III the cap ital of money.
 ''As the campaign progresses it be- comes more and more apparent that the Hughes candidacy is the candidacy of organized wealth. MT. Hughes speeches are a continuous appeal to dollars dollars invested in rail roads, to dollars invested in Mexico, to dollars invested in intuition plants, to dollars invested in great corpora tions, to dollars that are insatiably greedy for more and more dividends at whatever cost to the, general wei fare. When MT. Hughes speaks he speaks in terms of property and mon ey and material things. IL is their support to which he appeals, it is their favor which he solicits.
 MT. Hughes has thrown himself in- to the arms of reactionary Rerublican- ism and reactionary Republicanism spells a government of the cash regis ter, by the cash register and for the cash register; it is Morganism trium- rhant. Mr. Hughes is a decorous per son and he would not have it so frank and crude and raw as it was in the days of Hanna. He would not have Wall Streets domination of Washing ton so Haunting and vulgar, but he would have it. He could not prevent it even if he would, for it is i'm ossibie for any president to escape the logical consequence of his own politios and Mr. Hughes policies are essentially Wall street policies.
 MT. Hughes and Wall Street may be right in their interpretation of the country's mood. It is possible t,a. the American people are weary of political progress and favor return to tory ism. That hey are ready to rake a new experin' 9nt with corporation gov ernment and special privilege on the theory that plutocracy is better or der of things than democracy and that the rich should rule by virtue of be- ing rich We do not think so but we may be mistaken.

While going across an empty coal car on an eastbound Southern Paci- fc freight train between Ladim and Wilma, east of Deming, Brakeman G. c. Stevenson was shot in the neck and instantly killed by Mexican tres passer on the car Monday evening of last week at g o'clock. The train was the first section of eastbound freight No. PA.
 According to the story of the kill ing told by Brakeman Wilson, who ac- companied Stevenson, he and the mur- dered man were going across the train in the dark, and on coming to the coal car, were warned by party of four Mexicans on the car not to come further. Paying no heed to the de .mand of the four trespassers to stop, Stevenson went ahead. From the darkness came the flash of a revolver shot and Stevenson dropped with a cry.
 Wilson ran to get help and when the train was stopped and the crew arrived it was found that the MeXi- cans had fled. Stevenson had been killed instantly, it appeared, as the bullet had struck him on the right side of the neck.

SUSPEND DEFERRED
CABLE MESSAGES
FOR SHORT PERIOD

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany announces that owing to a tenn
porary shortage of facilities it will be
necessary to suspend for few days
the handling of transatlantic deferred

made to restore deferred serv-
ice and cable letters at the ear
liest moment and the public will be
promptly advised as soon as condi-
tions permit the restoration Of these
services.
The company states that the neces-
sity for this action is greatly regretted
but the suspension of deferred service

a flood of deferred messages to West

comes necessary in order to protect
the company's regular patrons and its
own expedited service and the com
pany temporarily suspends all but the
regular full-paid service.

pear before the house committee on
military affairs at the opening OF the

national defenses.

secretary declared that Americans
must adopt voluntary military training

putting the safety of the country on
an unstable foundation" and declared

the only feasible alternative if COM
pulsory military training and conscrip-
tion were to been avoided.

mittee a long statement, outlining the
administration program of national
defense, including a standing army of
one hundred and forty thousand men,
continental army of four hundred
thousand volunteers, increased sup
plies of munitions and the strengthen
ing of coast Notifications.
