the last resort of Bursurn and Hub
bell in the effort To bulldoze then
way into otice-as the methoc
shown yesterday which throws the
clear light on Mr.. Bursum.
He has his man Friday bring the
libel suit. He has a warrant sworn
out before his justice of the peace,
In violation Of the law he has this
justice Of the peace attempt to make
the alleged offense an unbailable
one. This is done by the clumsy
and heavy-witted expedient Of
striking out the bond provision
from the warrant, leaving it in the
form of a commitment to Jail. If
the warrant were to be served on
a blind man or an ignorant immi-
grant Mr.. Bursum might get off
with this kind Of stuff. But the
crudeness, the rawness Of it, like
the erudeness and the rawness of
Mr.. Bursum's attempt to bulldoze
a bill-poster and a movie proprie-
tor in Socorro, are really astonish-
ling.
1t is unnecessary to tell the peo-
pie Of Santa Fe about the circum-
stances under which this attempt
was made. No one needs to be told
that even proclamation Of a death
chamber would not deter such an
attempt.
The whole incident lays bare
again the real nature Of this man
who, after one humiliating repudia-
ltion, seeks to wheedle and threaten
the voters into making him gov
ernor. Mr.. Bursum poses as a
roughrand-ready, good-natured, big,
broad, plain citizen, and a "good
sport. You don't have to probe,
far, however, to get under the
veneer; and the pose is worthless
in the face Of every official act of
Mr.. Bursum, every political method
and achievement with which he has
been identified.
There are doubtless many small
settlers or stockmen who live in or
who have lived in, or tried to live
in Socorro county, who might tell
the people something of the good
inatured kindness of the generous,
sportsman-like Bufsum; the sports
man-like Bursum who in violation
of public rights and by virtue Of
his power as a little county boss
forbids the people of his commun-
ity to hear but one side of his can
didacy.
Did you ever stop to consider
what it would mean to have a man
of this stamp as chief executive Of
New Mexico, with all the powerI
that goes with the Officer
Did you ever stop to think what
ii would mean to have a good
SPORT like Bursum as your gov
ernor, with the long and bitter
score against the people which he
seeks to settle, with the consuming
to 'tget even' that domi-
mates the man under his God Bless
the ommo People smile?
H. @. Bursum during all his
political career in New Mexico has
been close to the Invisible Govern
ment. He has been it's spokesman
and its representative, it's legislator
and its third house manager. III.

The Mighty Hunter
Nimrod, the Scriptures tell us,

Lord.
But, before the Lord, Nimrod

publican candidate for governor.
The hunting exploits of Fl. 0.
Bursum, boss Of Socorro county,
as detailed in another part Of this
paper, are probably unique and I'M
paralleled in the history Of Outdoor
Sports.
In one years time Mr.. Bursum
slew seventy-seven coyotes, thirty
two wild cats, sixty-seven wolves
and three panthers. How Mr.. Bur
sum had time to do anything else
in that period save put the wild
creatures out Of their misery is a
complete mystery. 1t probably only
serves to show the remarkable YER
satility of the ex-penitentiary
superintendent.
A total of 179 wild animals slain
in one year is a record to make the
hunters of New Mexico green with
envy. There is likely to be an inn

Mr.. Bursum's announcement
that he is going to use one Of the

a newspaper is another amazing
and incredible piece Of insolence Of

view with the United Press today. said;
II can appreciate the position of the
Democrats. but they themselves have
established a precedent on the question.
and should. now submit to the rule and
take the count without a murmer.
"The ifty-frst session of the senate
in 1879 was organized with an equal
membership of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. It is political history that the
Republicans requested a division of
patronage, just as the Democrats are
now doing. And it is legislative history
that when the hour came for the or
ganization Of the senate all of the Of
hcers were elected and all of its en-
ployes were selected from the Demo-
cratic ranks. Every Craftsmanship was
| given to 2 Democratic senator
! THE only variation of the present
! situation is that in that instance a
Democrat was the presiding officer
/ throughout the session and the Demo-
Gratis retained the deciding vote. while
in the present instance the Republicans
will assume the chair after four days
and the balance of power from then on
will remain with the Republicans
throughout the session. as it did with
the Democrats in 1879.
ITO sustain their present position the
Democrats must contend that for the
prestige of having the balance of power
for the first -four days OF the session
hey are entitled to a division of the

The association finally came

was good thing Chicago could wait
for it. The railroads didn't cause
much of the smoke nuisance, was it's

liable and safe.
Identification will add to cleanli-

Operation under electricity will
make the city more beautiful and
permit a freer growth of vegetation.
Then Reid goes on to show that
during the ten years which it would
take the railroads to electrify the
cost vii be less than per cent of
their income per year.
He shows that the City Railways
Co., although this company has to
take care of large over-capitaliza-
tion," can still afford to donate to
the city almost per cent of its in

Then he winds up with:
'Now will the railroads make this
small annual expenditure in order to
make the city cleaner, healthier,
more attractive, and a more fitting
place to live in for themselves, their
children and others, as well as to
reap the financial benefits of well-in-

InUr QUALITY OF COURAGE
ieksburg Veteran Has Left Graphic
Description Of the Bravest
Man He Ever Saw.

The quality of courage is largely
an inherited trait Some people are
as naturally timorous as others are
naturally brave. These varying quail
tiles exist among animals as they do
among men, A bulldog Of fighting
strain often viii whip a mastiH
double his weight because he has that
tenacious courage peculiar to his
type Of the species.
But there is wider diversity in
qualities of courage among men than
among animals. With men much
depends upon the angle from which
they see things. A veteran who
served through the campaigns
around Vicksburg with Grant said
the brayest man he ever saw was a
poor fellow who occupied a position
one day where the bullets were flying
thick and fast. His knees knocked
together and his teeth actually chat
tered because Of his excessive fright.
But he was sustained by a most mag
nifcent sense of duty. He was loyal
to his country and the flag. OFer-
whelmed with physical fear, his rea<
son sustained him. He would not
seek safety when such seeking meant
disobedience Of orders OF desertion of
comrades. That was a case where
moral courage triumphed over phys
ieal fear.-Council Bluffs Nonparel
