A JUAN

New Mexico is noted for many pc
culiar things but there is a mar in
San Juan county who is different from
other men. He may be competent or
he may not be for all we know, but
we do know he wants "a job pretty bad
and is DESTROYS, indirectly, of paying
$1,000 TO secure the Office Of County
Assessor in that county.
He perhaps knows Of some folks
up there Who are not turning in their
full portion Of property and il would
do him that much good 10 have the
opportunity Of showing these people
up and making them pay their lust
portion.
In part he says, IL believe the sal
airy Of $3.50 per year for Assessor, Is
excessive; and / will, (if nominated
and elected), give a bond agreeing "a
contribute to the School Fund Of San
Juan county all over $1,000 per year"
The Office being good for only two
years, the Schools would derive $1,000
while the Assessor would draw but
$4,000 without counting his expenses
during the campaign, and il looks "a
us that q man who is willing 10 dig
up $1,000 for charity or schools would
be easy pisdns for the nswspspsrs.

POLITICS AND PREPAREDNESS

Speaker Champ Clark speaking Of
preparing preparedness says he Is for
a big navy appropriation and for the
best ships and biggest guns. He pro-
poses that 10 save time the govern
ment simply duplicate its best battle
ship several times. Joe Cannon, speak
ing on the same bill announced that
his vote was for a bigger navy if the
government meant business and not
politics.
Both have quick decisive minds and
there is no hemming or having about
them; both are big enough to sink
politics if anything is to be gained for
preparedness. but both are also shrcwd
AZ politics and the other fellow has
to play square or they will know what
he is up to.
II is such minds in congress that go
to make the strength Of our national
opinion. Men who 90 way off on the
wrong tracks, men who play politics
and have no national conscience or
flag conscience" men whose minds
are too little for big questions, selfish
men and dishonest men do get into
congress; hut the destiny Of the coun-
try IS usually safe because mostly our
congressman are sober, capable, hon
est men Of clear common sense and
with a proper sense Of national honor.
They can usually be depended on 10

British gains in the battle of the

fighting, cover a front of nearly eight
miles and include the entire German
the official report forwarded by Gen.
Haig, British commander in chief on
the French front. This advance in
cludes a number OF small towns or
villages and positions which are con
sidered of great strategic Importance.
At the same time the French army
under Gen Foch has moved up in
the southern section of the Somme
until il now holds the dominatin
hills around Peronne, a town which
has been strongly fortified by the
Germans and the possession of which
they are likely TO contest with the ut
most determination.
The British have retaken Contal-
maison and are again in control of
nearly the entire extent of TrOnes
woods and Maimetz woods. There
has been desperate fighting in both
sectors for several days past.
The French along the Somme car
ried out some minor detached opera
tions which enabled them TO
strengthen their positions at La Mai
sonnette, and apparently the French
are waiting for the British 10
straighten out their line before max
| ing the attempt TO drive the Germans
out of Peronne.
In this great battle $4,000 prison
ers have been taken by the French
British forces. OF whom the British
announce they have captured $500.
In the Verdun sector the Germans.
until moved by the attack north and
south of the Somme, have succeeded
| in gaining foothold in the Dam
loup battery. which had been the
bone of contention for days past, and
| in the French line in the Fumin
wood on the right bank of the Meuse
At other points the Germans are car
rying out a strong offensive.
On the Russian front the Stokhod
sector is the central point of the Rus
sian advance The Germans have
brought up strong reinforcements
and artillery TO oppose the Russians
who now are within twenty miles OF

In southern Bukowina, Petrograd
reports that considerable enemy
forces have been put TO flight north
west of Kimpolung. Vienna does moi
refer TO the fighting in Bukowina
and Galicia. but asserts that Russian
attacks near Sokul and along the
Stokhod have been repulsed.
