RAMSEY SPEAKS
TO BIG CROWD

The largest crowd yet attending n
political gathering in Lordsburg
since the opening Of the l9l6 cam
pdign, heard Judge W. r Ramsey,
former assistant attorney general Of
the state of Colorado, speak on the
issues of the Republican rarty at the
K. of P. Hall on Friday night Prac-
tically all the local Republicans at
tended and many of the strong Demo-
Gratis came out to hear the dis
tnguished orator
Mr.. Ramsey handled in clear,
concise way the more important is
sues Of the Republican campaign in
1915 and drove home his points in a
way that few will forget. He began
with the pride Americans nave al
ways had in their Republic and in the
fag, stating that our pride should be
maintained at all times, whether we
be in America, Mexico or on the east
ern continent. He attacked the
Underwood tariff bill and its dis
astrous effects upon the United States
just prior to the European war. He
cited the mobilization of Coxey's
army which had been dormant since
the Cleveland administration and
which again put in its appearance
together with national-wide soup
louses. Then came the war bringing
with it orders for munitions and sup
plies saving America from a repeti-
tion of tariff for revenue only" re-
suits. Mr.. Ramsey quoted well
known Democrats on the failure of
the administration and especially the
governor of Texas who declared the
policies to be absolute failures at all
times. He cited members of Wilson's
cabinet who had made statements
rejecting upon the honor of our fore
fathers-especially the speech Of Sec
retary Baker when he compared
Washington's soldiers at Valley
Forge to class of poems in Mexico.
President Wilson's instability on
the question of vital Importance to
the United States received careful
comment at the hands of Mr..
Ramsey. He compared the president
to the old time circus acrobat who
climbed onto the trapeeze and pro
'eeded to disrobe dropping from time
to time various colored garments un-
I'll he remained in pink tights and
Creen-spangled trunks: AND THEN
IN CAME THE ELEPHANTS.
The wishy-washy note sending to
Germany and England and the post
cript that Germany should not take
the notes too seriously was talked of
y the speaker at length.
81 hear wherever / go the same old
song Wilson has kept us out Of war.
What war? Surely not the war with
Mexico. Our soldiers have been killed
in battle. There has been blood-shei
and murder. II this is not war what
IS WARP" declared Mr.. Ramsey in dis
cussing the Wilsonian policy in Mex
leo He cited the occurrences at Vera
Cruz and at Carazal and gave his
hearers a good lot to thmk about He
praised the record of Charles Evans
Hughes and his policy Of America
First and America Efficient From
beginning to end Mr. Ramsey held

if You Fell of the Earth.


 After you have learned that the earth is spinning through space like great top and that we are all living on the outside of this top you probably wonder where We would ali so if we fell of. The earth itself has enough power of attraction to keep everything on It's surface from falling oil.
 Now, just imagine that thiSpower of attraction stopped altogether. If that happened and you were indoors your head would hit the ceiling. If you were out of doors you would go straight up into the sky for a long time, and gradually you would Begin to move slower and slower and slower, for the resistance of the air would re- tard you. At last you would come to Ia stop, and there you'would stay. And very cold you would hnd it.
 If the air did not resist with the least little jump you would go sailing off into space. That is the only way you could fall of the earth, when the earth's attraction. stopped and when the air did not resist-Exchange.

 The men who hold professional titles
 seldom have seen the inside of col- Iege classroom. They have reached the top of their chosen lines by strength and ability to assimiIate pun

 'The biggest little man in the United States army That is what they say of Major General Frederick Funston, commander of the United States forces in Mexico and on the border. Funston is a graduate of the University of Kansas and weighs less than 130 pounds. He is five feet five , inches in height. What he knows about warfare he learned at the Jay hawker institution.
 What Funston is doing in Mexico and what he has done in the past are I ing helped him to stand the hardships !

JOE PATcHEN BOOKED FOR
 TRACK COMEBACK

OLD Joe Patchen H., prince of pacers a few years ago, is feeling his oats. Not only that, but the grand old sideT wheeler must be slipping at the trough of youth forf he is carded to stage a comeback this year. Old Joe, whose fame is based chiefly on a 2:03A per formance. is booked to try for the $5,0OO Chamber of Commerce stake, the pacing feature of the Detroit grand circuit meeting.
 Trainer Billy Fleming is confident that Joe will be one of the few come backs to make good. He believes that the white faced stallion not only will give a good account of himself in the Commerce stake, but will be able to "cIean lem up'' at other grand circuit meets Joe Patchen was noted for stout heartedness four or five years ago, and Fleming says he still retains all the old courage and stamina. The Commerce stake is for the 2:o6 class, but two seasons without winning give Joe time allowance of two seconds, thereby making him eligible for the event.
 Old Joe will have classy company in the big Detroit race, the homely hob bled geIding Billy Dale (2:O9A), win ter favorite for the event and a star performer on the Ohio tracks last sea- son. Walter Cox purchased Billy Dale the middle of last season and soon had him in a race witk Kedno at Montreal. He forced the Canadian mare to travel a third heat in 2:O27s in order to land a victory. The coming in the home stretch was a tight, nose and nose af- fair. The judges finally gave Yedno the verdict and Billy Dale went into winter quarters with 8 record of 2:09N, which makes him eligible for almost all the 1918 grand circuit stake races.
 Cox is expected to race Young Todd in the Commerce event in case Billy Dale does not show up as well as ex- pected at the time. Young Todd is a four year old and is reported to have phenomenal speed. Last fall at Hart ford he did a mile in 2:06A, working the last half in 58% seconds. Tom Murphy, who also will be represented in the M. and M. trot classic at Detroit, has entered Peter Farren and The Problem in the Commerce pace stake. Murphy is reported to have turned down an offer of S7,5OO for The Prob lem few weeks ago, and he thinks as highly of Peter Farren as he does of The Problem. which worked mile at Springfield late last season in 2: :04.
 White Sox, 2:05A. owned by Will Durfee, is another pacer that is re- cefving the attention of pre- season dopesters. She copped the $40. 900 pacing stake at the Frisco exposition last summer, and she is said to be bet ter now. physically. than she was then.

the speed and agility of a lighter play- CT held sway.
 Boss Weeks. now dead, undoubtedly the greatest quarterback in the history of University of Michigan football was a small man. He also played in the days of the mass play, and 1t was a frequent occurrence to see him dive into a play in which four backs were locked to push or pull the man with the ball for the needed distance.
 Joe Hunter, quarterback at North western university in the days of Pot- ter and Van Doozer, is another lstrik- ing example of the player who could stand the knocks and kicks of a hard game. Joe played in many hard fought battles, but seldom had to call for time, while some of his heavier teammates or opponents were continually appeal ing to the referee to blow the whistle for two minute rest.
 Clyde Williams, who piloted the Uni versity of Iowa team to victory in the late nineties, was another small man who tipped the beam under 13O pounds. as was Clyde Matthews of Illinois, who played at about the same time. Cor don Clarke, who played on the Univer- sity of Chicago team in the nineties, and Jimmy Sheldon, who played on the but they certainly made good and out played men much heavier.
 "a Other cases could be cited, but those mentioned are prominent and go to show that a little man in a number of lines of athletic endeavor is often su- perior to the heavier. The little fellow can stand just as much hardship, and In some cases more. Therefore, those of light weight attending our colleges should not be afraid to try for posi- tions on their respective university athletic teams.

ercfse to indulge in. Golf I discovered, could be played with less, physical strain. therefore accepted golf My case is similar to that of a great many other middle aged men who took up the sport.
 Slowly the game worked out of the old mems class. and the younger ath- Ietes took it up. Then it was that golf first began to spread. Today the game is played more by youthful players than by old men. In fact, believe that the game is quickly becoming the most popular pastime of the present gener- ation.
 "Another good thing about golf is that it can be played as well by the youth of ten years as by the man of seventy. Father and son can go out to the golf links and spend pleasant day together. In no other branch of sport, with swimming as an exception, can this be accomplished
 t.The fact also that women can excel at the sport is another reason for it's popularity. Many of our best golfers are members of the fairer sex. The demand of new golfera has outstripped facilities, and it is now almost impos- sibIe to join any club because or the already long waiting 1ist-s
