Criticism of Governor.

That the feeling of bitterness
against Mcdonald in some quarters
here is actual and real. is amply at
tested by an incident which occurred
on one OF governor McDOnald's visits
to SocorrO and the school of mines.
One of the most prominent citizens
of Socorro. q man who has been a life
long Democrat of the most loyal type.
had an enormous sign painted and
stretched clear across the front Of his
building a width Of some so feet.
The sign was draped with crepe. and
carried this wording: Sacred to the
memory Of the New Mexico school OF
mines. killed by the peanut politics OF
governor Mcdonald" Many appeals
were made TO take down the sign, but
ha stood by his decision and the sign
remained in place during that day OF
he governors visit.

Two little stories illustrate the per-
sonal liberality Of the man. Il wanted
10 buy some lots and went to Mr. Bur
sum TO see if he would sell two which
he owns Yes. I believe I can let
you have two that 1 bought at tax
sales He looked into his desk and
found two tax sale certificates You
may have these two, IL they will serve
your purpose he said. How much
are they worth? I inquired. You NAV
have them for what they cost me- he
replied. The lots were worth several
hundred dollars, but he was willing
to let me have them for the IS or SIS
that he had paid for them" The man
who related this story told another
one OF another who went TO Bursum
to buy a part of the property which
adjoined his. Bursum said he might
have as much Of the property as he
needed. Replying to a question about
the price, Bursum said; Have a deco
prepared for as much of the property
rs you need. Pay me what you think

The prophecy that Bursum would
pcll a heavier vote in Socorro county
this year. is based IN part at least.
upon a change for the better in his
financial condition. When he made
the race in 1911. his finances were far
from high tide. He has prospered i'm a
business way since that time. and his
benefactiOns consequently have be-
come much larger. Always open
banded and generous, frequently be-
yond his means, he is now able 20
do much more Of this sort He con-
tributed the site for the high school
building. From my point Of view"
said one man. "Bursum makes a poor
mayor because ne is too kindhearted
and lenient He is unwilling TO make
property owners make improvements
which he feels they can i'll afford We
would have a great many more con-
crete walks. and the appearance Of
Socorro would be much improved, but
mayor Bursum knows ii would be a
hardship for many to pay for the walks
hence no paving ordinance has been
passed"

The Republicans are confident that
Bursum would poll n much heavier vote
in Socorro this election. IN 1911. he
received 2OS5 to 1914 for Mcdonald,
and I'm that election four or the best
county offices went to Democrats
The belief that Bursum would poll
more votes is based upon the assump-
ton that he would be opposed by Nc
Donald. or some other candidate who
could poll the strength Of the party.
One Of the best informed Democrats
in Socorro conceded that Bursum
would run as well as in 1911. There
is some personal bitterness here
against Mcdonald, growing out of
matters connected with the New Mex
leo school OF mines" he explained.
Personally, I think Bursum mas lost
strength since 1911. but anything that
he has lost probably will be offset by
what Macdonald has lost" he con-
tinued. He added that Mcdonald likely
would receive less than the party vote.
and that the feeling with reference TO
him was one of apathy, whofiy lack
ing in enthusiasm.

Bursum's sheep did not vote for
their boss" for governor on Nov. 2
1911. This statement is not based
upon any interview with the sheep. nor
with anyone duly authorized to speak
for them; not upon any denial entered
by Bursum nor By any one for him, but
upon the recOrd-upOn figures that
are unyielding, indisputable. Bur-
sums defeat was by 3017 votes, a plu-
rality that would have been obliterated
and turned to minus figures, If the said
sovereign army of sheep had REIN
forced the Republican voting on cleo
ton day.
This statement with reference to
this candidate and this particular in
stance, is most respectfully offered in
refutation of the phillipics delivered
by the campaign orators Of the Demo-
cratic party, in the campaigns of 1906
and 1903. With biting sarcasm and
asseVerated that the Republicans
were chemically given TO the wicked
practice of voting sheep, dead men and
Olher men who had no being but in the
oVerWorked imaginatiOns Of the pre-
clnct heelers and county bosses. It
was explained that this practice was
restricted to the rockribbed Republi-
can counties. Outraged public senH-
ment would tolerate no such iniquit-
Gus customs in enlightened counties
Where Democracy had an even break.
Certainly the more conservative Gle
ment Of the general public did not
DelleNe this charge any more than did

have been a few who did believe. This

A Divided Ireland.

A divided ireland under home rule foreshadows
the outcome Of the negotiations undertaken by
David Lloyd George to effect temporary settle
ment Of the Irish question. Such is the substance
Of reports submitted by nationalists and Ulster
members to their constituents, and tentatively
accepted as war emergency compromise. In
general outlines the plan adheres to the terms Of
the home rule bill passed September "A, 1914,
and suspended from operation until the end Of
the war. Six Ulster counties, including the cities
Of Belfast and Londonderry, are excluded from
the present home rule plan, as they were in the
suspended act and will be governed by local
council under imperial laws. The rest Of ireland
will be governed by a parliament sitting in Dub
lin. Irish representation in the imperial parlia-
ment will not be changed at present, obviating an
election which all parties dislike In the stress of
war. These terms are regarded the most feasible
and practical means Of ending military rule and
disposing Of castle government wrecked in the
April rebellion. A significant feature of.the pro-
posed compromise Is the expectation that an I'M
perial federation OF the British empire will rise
out Of the wreckage, which will inaugurate home
rule in ali divisions Of the United Kingdom and
Ireland and unite in direct representative govern
ment the various links Of solidarity forged in the
battlefelds Of Europe.

Il stronger than this, none other has such COM

has been the spur that has driven him on from one
discovery to another, from new invention to

Of intellectual importance on which he now moves
Investigators are continually pushing into the
mists that surround the great secret man fain

A Milestone for The Bee.

The Bee today is forty-hve years old and, in
making another milestone, we feel that we have
RICH. to point with pride" to the record OF
progress and achievement. For wonder-story
nothing excels the founding Of The Bee and its
growth from small beginnings in a little frontier
town to leading position in the journalism OF a
great metropolitan city, but that story has been
often told From the outset, The Bee has been a
tireiess worker for the upbuilding of city, state
and nation and the improvement of the social,
material and political welfare Of the people, and
has had forward policy which It has steadfastly
pursued and will continue to pursue.
By comparison, forty-hfth anniversary is
perhaps not a special red letter event in news
papers career but it surely justifes this much OF
personal reference and self-congratulation.
