what to Do With Trouble"

BY N. D. COCHRAN
THE TRUTH, THAT'S ALL.-For
the information of many who are
writing letters to me on the religious
issue and the public schools, let me
say this: I am not trying to. please
Catholics, Protestants or any other
class or group. I am trying to give
the truth to readers of The Day
Book, without regard to what. indi-
viduals the truth may please or dis
please. My own belief is that Telig-
ion has no proper place in the public
schools, and I'll do all can to keep
it out. What parents may want their
children taught in that line outside
of the public schools is none of my
business. If were a member of the
school board I would vote to dismiss
any teacher who tried to advertise
her creed in the schOolroom or in
any way sought to interfere with the
asolute freedom of her pupils to
worship as they please. It is no
proper part of any public school
teachers business how any pupil
pleases to worship God.
don't care a pagan cuss how
much the Guardians of Liberty fight
what they call the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy, or how hard the hier-
archy fights back. There are fanat-
les on both sides, and there are on
both sides cunning politicians who
will try to use the scrap to their own
selfish advantage.
And that's what some Of them are
doing now. The religious issue is
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-07-07

stirring up a lot of people. It is be-
ing used to stir them up. But it isn't
the real reason for Jake Loeb's fight
on the Teachers Federation. It is
merely an excuse used to cover up
the real purpose and to get votes in
the school board to help accomplish
that real purpose. That's the truth
I am trying to get to the real friends
of the public schools
Mark this prediction now: This
very issue will be used this fall to
elect Lowden governor of Illinois.

POLITICAL SOLDIER.

POLITICAL SOLDIERS. - Com
menting on the appointment of regu-
lar army officers to command Illinois
militia, the Trib says: The damage
of a political appointment to military
command cannot be Overstated or
Overestimated. It is deadly. It
shows in casualty lists. It kills and
mains. 1t converts a reasonable
chance into a great hazard. Regular
army officers given command of vol
unteers will save life and protect
comfort. For the sake of the willing
men who have left civilian life to
their nations service efficient officers
ought to be provided. Why should a
plain, drudging, hardwOrking soldier
suffer because a man not as good
as he is in spirit or willingness to
serve wants to be an officer? A de-
mocracy gives its soldiers no more
rotten deal than that of providing
them with inefficient officers"
Yet Major R. r. Mccormick, one
of the commanding officers Of the
First Illinois cavalry, was promoted
from nothing to major by one
scratch Of Gov. DUNES pen. Would
the Trib call that a political appoint
ment? Or is present company ex-
cepted because the MAZE happens to
be editor and publisher Of the Trib?

Should Be at Best if
Phils Get Into World
Series

IF THE Philies re-enter the world series
l. realm this fall we have a cerise tinted
hunch that noncombatants will see an en-
trely different Alexander at work.
Those who desire TO can say what they
like about 1t. but Big Alex was far from
being at his best against the Red SoX last
fall. He was not nearly as good as he was
through the summer of 1915 and not nearly
as good as he has been this year.
Alexander today is the greatest pitcher
In baseball, the sole successor TO Chrsty
Nathewson. II would be a tough break
TO have his world series career end with
the showing he made last fall. He has
far better stun TO offer, as the American
League pennant winner of 1915 may soon
find out.
At the beginning of August Cobb was
thlrty-eight points back OF Speaker. On the
LIST Of September Cobb was twelve points
back Of Speaker, iris may still finish on
top, but not II this decline is maintained
very much longer. In August we thought
Speaker had something closely akin 20 a
romp. Now we believe Cobb will finish
on top for his ten-year span, after which
he will be entitled to vacation for the
summer of 1917. But the odds are that
Ty will be just as keen TO make II eleven
years in row as he is now to make 1t ten.

Value of Short Game


These figures alone show the value of the
short game and the terrific handicap one is
under who begins to fritter away shots
around the cup. Young Jones has fine
chance TO follow in the putting wake OF
Travis and Travers, for while he is still far
back of those two on the greens, he has a
good eye, keen touch and the same deter
mination to give the ball a chance.
II was a notable fact that most of the
trouble he had at Merton was in being too
far over and not too far short He rarely
left his ball on the short side OF the cup.

game.

CAPTURED
IN PARKER MURDER

Sheriff. Herbert j. McGrath
received a telegram this morning
from under-sheriff Schrimpser of
Hachita stating that the Mexican
woman, who with her husband
disappeared from the Parker
ranch after the murder of Will
am Parker and his wife, had
been caught by the southern
Grant county posse in Mexico.
The woman refused to talk or
give any information. Her hus-
band is still at large. This is
one of the most important finds
since the dastardly murder anu
may result in the truth being
learned.
Late beliefs from southern
Grant county are that Mr.. Parker
and wife were murdered by the
Mexican who was employed at
his ranch. Only two horses and
saddles were missing from the
place and these the couple are
believed to have taken. The
man and woman were trailed by
the posse into Mexico and it's like
ly that their capture will cast a
light on the murder.
Later: Mr.. Schrimpser arrived
here this afternoon with the
woman en- route to the county
Jail. 1t is alleged that the wom-
an told the officers that the muir
der was committed by her hus-
band for meanness. " She was
apprehended while riding one of
the Parker horses and saddles
across the border.
The woman will have a hearing
before Judge CIV. Marsalis here
July 18th.

From all parts of the southwest,
strangers and old friends of the town
poured into Lordsburg for three days
of celebration on July 3rd, 4th and
9Th. Exery event went off as per
schedule and all had one big time.
The cOw-punchers and horsemen
were in evidence and many a dry Ar
izonian strayed over the line for a
drink over the bar and his personal
allowance"
The crowd was as orderly as could
be expected, the officers being in ev-
idence at all times for the general
protection of the mobs which lined
the streets from early morning to late
at night.
The refreshment parlors, restaur-
ants and stores did thriving bust
ness.
The various committees of the ev-
ents did good work in lining up their
parts Of the program and the crowd
seemed well pleased with all the
amusements.

COUNCIL HAS
SEVERAL PROBLEMS

One of the most important
questions confronting the new
city council has been the town
lighting problem. At the request
of several members of the council
the Lordsburg Power Company
has submitted figures for their
approval and which may be taken
into consideration whenever the
council sees fit to take up the
question of street lighting. Fig
ures have been received from
Deming and FL Paso on the
question which the towndads will
go over and compare with the
local proposal.
The Lordsburg Power Com
pany presented the council in
writing a proposition of INSTALL
ing and maintaining a street
lighting system for a period of
not less than ten years on the
basis of so lights at the following
rates: price per year for each
light, 80 candle power, $19.65
moonlight schedule or $23. 80 for
all night service. 40 C. p, $21. 80
moonlight schedule or $27. 90 for
all night. 60 C. p. $24.O0 moon
light or $4,000 all night service.
The company also presented a
verbal proposal to furnish
electricity with no contract on d
meter charge providing the city
installed their own lighting
system or to release the city from
any contracts on the rate sub
mitted in writing provided a
lower price should ever be given
by any parties, the said parties to
reimburse the power company
for the actual cost of installation
Of the lighting system. Council
man Olney has made inves-
legations of town lighting in FL
PasO and other places and all
this data is to be placed before
the council whenever they take
up the proposition.
The Liberal is informed that
despite rumors to the contrary,
the Lordsburg Power Company
has paid the tax imposed by the
council which went into effect the
first of the month. The matter of
taking the quarter section in
which the power plant is situated
into the corporate limits of this
city will doubtless soon come up
before the council.

The BALL GAME

In a dream of a ball game
(meaning a night mare, the
local athletes went down to de-
feat before the Bowie aggrega-
tion by a score of Is to Z. The
game was marked by long hitting
and run making which at times
could not be stopped, The
grounds were in bad condition
and the pill bounced hither and
thither---mostly thither, foiling
the outfelders. McMeans open
ed fire for Lordsburg but his arm
gave out in the third round. Pat
Barela took up the heaving and
was relieved by Earl Kerr.
Bowie went up in the air sever
al times letting the locals get
across the pan for seven tabs.

Miner Commits Suicide e

The following appeared in
Thurday's Ell Paso Times:
John Scharek, a guest at the
Green tree hotel on San Fran
cisco street, registered from
LOrdsburg, N. NJ, was found
dead in his room early last eve
ming, shot through the head. A
.38 caliber pistol with one shell
discharged was found at his side.
Scharek, who formerly was a
miner, had had business connect
ions with the First National
Bank of Lordsburg, papers in his
possession indicated. In 1904 he
had declared his intention of be-
coming a citizen of the United
States. He was of Austrian
birth.

several men were we'll beaten up.
Owing to the large number of

however, the pugnacious feelings
had subsided.

The early part of this week
several troop trains carrying
militiamen from Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and
other states to the border passed
thru here stopping for water
and ice. The boys had a great
time here and proceeded to buy
out several stores during THEN
three hours sojourn. The most
startling thing the militiamer
commented upon while here was
the high cost of living in the
west. They simply couldn't gel
over it.

WILL LEAVE FOR COAST

F. V. Bush of the Western
Liberal will leave Saturday for
Los Angeles and San Francisco,
California, for a two weeks
business and medical trip to re-
ceive treatment for an injured
vertebra sustained several years
ago in a mine accident. During
his absence Clifford C. Blood of
Silver City will be in charge of
the Liberal. Jess Palmer will be
OF deck in the mechanical de-
partment as usual.
Mr.. Blood has been a resident
of Grant county for several years
and is well known in this section.
He was until recently a member
of the faculty of the New Mexico
Normal school and has done con-
siderable journalistic work for
newspapers and periodicals in
New Mexico. For several years
he has been editor of the 'Nor-
malite, the Silver City Normal
publication.
During Mr.. Bush's absence the
people of Lordsburg will find Mr.,
Blood anxious to serve their in
terests and the Liberal will ap-
preciate any courtesies extended
him.
