RESPECTIVE TICKETS
state Board Has Finished Official
Canvass. Seven Democrats
And Five Republicans
Are Elected

4. 4. Jones for United States Sem
ator, and Robert p. Ervien for land
commissioner, lead, respectively, the
Democratic and Republican tickets,
in the recent election, according to
the totals made public this morning
by the New Mexico state board of
GanVasseS.
The board is composed of William
e.. Mcdonald, governor; Clarence J.
Roberts, chief justice of the sup
RENE court, and Antonio Lucero,
secretary of state.
In recording the vote, tally sheets
were made for the two major poll
lical parties. in addition to the ones
for the states official record. Both
parties have been represented by
counsel d;lring the making of the
canvass, as have also some of the
individual candidates.
The totals which have been made
DO not include the socalled "absent
railroad vote. The canvass of this
vote. which will reach a total of
some l25 ballots, was begun after the
totals had been made up. The vote
is somewhat Democratic, but is not
heavy enough to make any possible
change i'm the results as regards
any of the candidates. Before the
vote was commenced Harry :. Bow

Republican state central commit

road vote as without warrant of
law and as against the constitution
of the state of New Mexico. This
protest was made a matter of re-
cord
Judge Roberts, speaking for the
board, declared that as the board
possessed powers that are solely
ministerial and in no sense judi
cial, it would be the duty of the
board TO proceed with the count of
the sO-called absent railroad" vote,
and the count by counties was COM
menced.

Beatifieation Indicated for

Cause Formally Admitted Before the
Congregation Of Rites.

1t is deemed probable that Father
Isaac Jogues, tortured and put to death
by the Indians in 1852 at Auriesville
IN. Y, will be beatified within a rea-
sonably short time.
This is indicated by cable message
received few days ago by the Rev.
| John ]. Wynne, S. j., editor of the
Catholic Encyclopedia, from the Rev.
Charles Macksey, s. j., of the Gregg
rian University, Rome. The message
announces that the cause of beatifica-
ton of Father Jogues has been intro.
duced before the Congregation of Rites
for definite consideration and settle.
ment.
Although the death Of Father Jogues
at the hands of the Mohawk Indians
| occurred in 1862 on the site of the
present village of Auresville, the proc
! ess of having him declared Il martyr,
and worthy of the vrncration of all
| who hold the Christian faith, was not
actually begun until the year 1903 Doc
| uments and evidence had been studied
by church scholars interested in his
| work and the work OF Brebeuf, Lale-
| mant and GARNER, other missionaries
put to death by the 1roquois in Canada.
This material was laid before tri-
bunal in Quebec, which was headed by
the present Cardinal Begin The Rev.
Arthur Jones, of Montreal; the Rev.
Daniel Lowery, of the Albany Do
cese, in which Father Jogues was mar
tyred; the Rev. T. J. Campbell and the
Rev. Father Wynne, of New York, all
of whom had been students of the early
history Of the Church in America,
were witnesses before the tribunal.
The evidence was submitted to the
proper authorities at Rome. where it
was threshed over according to the
time hallowed method of selecting ad.
vocates for the canonization and a
DEVILS advocate to oppose it in every
way possible.
This part of the process is so thor
ough and searching that the consent
of the advocates on both sides to the
formal introductions of the cause be-
fore the Congregation of Rites is usu-
ally equivalent to the declaration that
the persons involved led sanity lives,
doing great service for religion and in
this instance shedding their blood for
it.
How long the Congregation of Rites
may require before declaring these
martyrs beatified and deserving of ven
GRAFTON it is impossible to say, though
there is no reason why there should
be any serious delay. In canonizing
such men the Church will only be ap-
proving universal sentiment in favor
of their veneration, which exists not
only among Catholics, but among

HOW A BOY SOLDIER DIED.
English Army Chaplain Tells of the
Edifying Death Of Young
German Soldier,

MOnsignor Bickcdstaffe Drew, an
English army chaplain, tells in The
Month how dying German soldier boy
called him to receive the last sacra-
ments.
One day the chaplain was summoned
by a series of mods and beckOnings to
mere boy, pathclically childish look
ing, who was sitting up, the better to
attract attention, in the middle of his
stretcher. He was badly shot in the
head, and his bandage had queer
caricaturish resemblance to turban
Coming down a little over one eye, ii
caused him to hold his head sideways
in an inquisitive, alert fashion that
was like a starting. There was not
much of him, and what there was, was
very lean.
'kommen Sic HER" he kept calling,
with a volley Of smiles. "Ich wuenschc
sprechen III linen. Sic sind Katho-
lisch? Jaj Praat, ia, ia; ich vers-
tehe."
He was full of Impotence. He had
been, he said, looking out for priest,
and Offering all the money he had to
the orderlies to bring him one They
had assured him that he would soon
get one for nothing, but he had not
been quite ready to believe He thought
they might only want to save them
selves trouble He said he was not
quite 1G, and he certainly looked only
la most merry creature, though he
fully realized that he was probably
going to die
Now" he cried, triumphantly, 81
am going to contest"
And he did 50. in no subdued tones
with extraordinary preparation, and
with a most touching boylike sim.
'plicity and devotion. All the time he
knelt UP in the middle of his stretcher,
his little face flll Of recollection" his
small, thin hands clasped. the bright
black eyes tightly closed
+. Now" he said, dccisively, when he
! had been ahsolvcd, now that parts
done. Now-~anoint me, pleased"
He stretched himself out fiat, and
eagerly turned to the priest each part

| And now when that was finished,
now, my Father give me Our Lord"
Yes dear little son; but l must 20
to a church, and"
Well, go-so, Father! Be quick! 1t
wouldn't do to die till you come back" "
He did not look like dying so soon !:
but still there might be no time to
lose; and the priest went, bringing
back with him more than one Host, az
there were several terrible looking
cases.

That Radicalism is spreading quietly

many OF our Catholic people seem not
to realize the fact at all. They seem
perfectly satisfied to magazine that

fact, together with the endorsement
itself. which is worth taking serious
notice of. The Socialist organ of New

lists of that state. What have Catholics
done to counteract such an action and
other similar developments? What
have they done to show their friend
ship for and belief in legitimate labor
organization? Radicalism cannot be
cured by merely shouting at it! This
criticism should not be considered as
uniust-which it certainly is not-but
should rather stir Catholics to positive,
constructive action. In that way will
Radicalism be effectively chcckmated.

RELIABILITY.

Reliability and trustworthiness
do not consist of telling sufficient
of your side to make the other fell
low wrong, or to make yourself
right. Reliability, transmission
of facts, consists in telling the
whole truth, not half the truth. 1t
is convenient sometimes to tell Just
enough, or to quote just enough to
have one appear right, but intelli-
gent people want both sides, and
they usually get both, therefore
suppressing what influences might
desire, what one thinks will not be
found out, even if against one, is
not honest to say the least, and
does not pay in the long run. Thus
is daily evidenced on all sides, and
no one knows this better than hon
est people. - Thibodaux Journal

Farming Is The Best.

William Jennings Bryan gives
eight good reasons why young
men should choose farming in pre-
ference to the other occupations
and professions. Here they are:
Cd Farming is the most indepen-
dent way of living; (2) less capital
is required to start farming than
to enter any other independent
business; (3) all members OF the
family can participate in some way
in the work of the farm; (4) farm
life is healthful; (5) farming devel-
obs useful habits of industry and
application; CO. the farm provides
the most wholesome environment
for growing children; CD farm life
teaches the true philosophy that
labor is honorable and worthy OF
reward; (S) the farmer is the most
independent factor in our political
life.-Press Bulletin.

sales are made, that it shall be

Discovers Way To Destroy
Bool WeeVil.

Joseph Reaux, a farmer living
at Pan Perdu on the north side of
Lake Simonet, has an effective way
of destroying the boil weevil. In
the month of June he places on
the turn rows in the center of his
cotton patch several large tubs full
of water. Across the tubs he puts
a six-inch board, and on this he
places lantern with good light.
He does this during 'the dark of
the moon" and the weevil and
OF her insects are attracted in large
numbers to the bright light,
strike the sides Of the lantern, fall
into the water and are drowned.
He repeats this for several nights,
during the dark nights, and as a
result claims that his field is sing
ularly exempt from all appearances
of the boil weevil. Exchange.
