Atmosphere, color and picturesqueness
found Nowhere outside of Italy and certain
Oriental countries are bringing to Santa Fe
and vicinity, for varying periods, artists OF
national and International fame, whose &C
t.viiies are noted not only in the leadine
metropolitan newspapers Of the country. but
ir such magazines as Scribner's and Har-
per's and the leading art periodicals OF
America.
The register at the Abbott ranch in the
Frijoles canyon shows names of visitors
from Java, Australia. many parts of Europe
and various remote corners of the globe.
Santa Fe people hardly realize that this
city is gradually assuming rank on the tour
list map with the most noteworthy spots in
the United States and Europe, taking the
place, more especially since the European
war, of localities in France and Italy and
Egypt, long the Mecca of artists n arch
aeologists from all over the world.
1t is needless to say that Santa Fe is at
tracing a class of visitors entirely distinct
from that stopping in any other city in the
southwest, by reason Of natural and histori-
cal resources not possessed by any rival
city.
1t is worth while bearing in mind that we
should do everything as a community to
make the most of our peculiar assets and to
make it pleasant for those who are thus
drawn to this city; il for no other reason,
because OF the actual material and pecuniasg
benefit derived by the community from this
class Of visitors and residents. The number
OF them who are spending several months
here this summer or preparing at this time
to become permanent residents Is sufficient

IN MEMORY OF A TREE

The Canadians recently have erected a
monument to a tree. 1t is a marble shaft,
marking the spot on which there once grew
a famous apple tree. The story is that, a
century ago, a man who had come to settle
in Canada found, on the land he had chosen
for his farm, a wild apple tree, which bore
so well that he cultivated it; giving it his
own NAME, Mcintosh. The fruit of this tree
became famous, and seeds and sprouts from
it. since Mcintosh settled on the farm, have
been sent far and away over the western
hemisphere. Soon, the fruit, by common
consent, came to be called the Mcintosh
red apple" and 80 it is known to this day.
Hence the marble shaft to mark the spot
the original tree of this variety Of
apple lived and bore fruit and fell into de-
cay.-The Earth.

Clayton News: You don't have to believe

and it is enough to bar Doc Dunn from ever

Doc ran short of flies and was compelled
to use grasshoppers on his recent fishing
trip to the Taos country and that caused all
the trouble.
He was fishing one day with a grasshop-
per on his hook and a trout less than seven
inches in a tin can full of water in his creel
when a game warden spotted him.
"Gatchin' any?' asked the game warden,
politely, as they usually do.
"A few answered Doc.
"Well, let's see EN-" demanded the game
warden, not quite so politely, as usual. also.
whats the smallest fish you can keep"
asked the warden after cycling Docs creel.
Seven inches or over" answered Doc.
''Why, then" demanded the warden, "have
you got thai four-inch trout in that tin can?
You know better than to keep EN- that
SMALL"
81 know it; and l know its too small" re-
piled Doc, getting sorter mad, but I'm go
ing to keep him right there until I get
through fishing, if / break all the laws in

minnow has been swipin' my grasshoppers
all day long and I'm holding it as a hostage.

turn that blank blank minnow loose and he
can go anywhere he wants to. And, further
he concluded, II have a place in

On Keeping Judiciary Out
OF Politics

l wish TO inquire whether anything is be-
ing done. in a practical way, to keep our
highest court out of the strife and turmoil
of politics at the coming election?
Every well informed persons knows the
change in feeling and practice, on this sub
ject, that has spread over the country dur
ing the last twenty years. Beginning in one
or two states where there were large and
influential bar associations, the custom has
now become wen nigh universal or keeping
the higher courts out Of politics by re-elect-
ing the judges who have proved s~atisfac-
tory, by common consent, without opposi.
ton.
The advantages of this system are too OBJ
vious to require argument. The people have
the benefit of the ripened learning and ex-
perience of a tried judicial official; the
judges have before them as an incentive to
impartiality, care and considerate courtesy,
the hope of recognition Of a creditable rec
ord; and the judicial ermine is preserved
u~nsullied from the mud-slinging Of a politi-
cal campaign. OF course, If the Judge con
cerned has proved incompetent, corrupt or
otherwise undesirable, no attempt at such
a unanimous reelection would DO attempted
or could succeed; but in the more usual case
Of a high-minded and satisfactory Official,
the custom Is now to re.elect without oppo-
sition.
The way in which this result is reached
varies in different localities. Everywhere,
Of course, the press is a potent factor, and
reflects as well as mouIds public opinion;
sometimes the bar associations make repre-
sensations to the conventions Of all parties;
and at others, influential petitions from
leading citizens have the desired effect.
In New Mexico, the coming election is the
first one Where the question of this ~re-eiec-
ton of a member of the highest court has
arisen. The course pursued now will set an
example for the future, and it will also show
the country whether we are abreast with the
times, and with the most approved methods
OF progressive states or not. Fortunately, a
compliance with the modern system is in
accordance with the general desire and
without danger this year. Judge Roberts,
whose term expires, has made a very salts
factory record, and, so far as / know, has
not an enemy.
For the credit of the state and to put it
in the front rank, it should in some way be
arranged that all the state conventions shall
put his name on their tickets. Perhaps they
will do this, at any rate; but it would seem
well that the bar associations, which repre-
sent those having the strongest interest In
an experienced and satisfactory judiciary,
should memorabilia the conventions on the
subject. Or, perhaps this can be lone by a
general petition, signed by citizens regard
less of party, presented to the conventions,
asking for a uniform nomination, SO as to
keep the Judiciary out Of political contests,
and at the same time show appreciation of
a faithful, learned and impartial judge.

HIS MISTAKE


One bright, sunny morning a small boy
was busily spinning his top outside a sub
urban house.
Along the road came a book canvasser.
"Your mother in?'' he asked the small boy,
as he opened the garden gate.
Eyes, SIR said the small boy, spinning his
top again.
The canyasser knocked and knocked again
at the door of the house, but could get no
reply. Coming out of the gate he said again
to the small boy:
q thought you said your mother was in?"
$50 she is, sir"
but I've knocked several times and can't
get any reply"
Perhaps not" said the small boy, careful

A Ham

The Hon. ]. Ham Lewis, OF Illinois. has
again indicated his middle name.
Hon. Ham on SATURDAY in the u. S. sen
ate declared that the Republicans assassin.
ated the U. s. soldiers at Carrizal by their
attacks in the party platform upon the VIII
son Mexican policy, which he characterizes
as a revolt against the government at
Washington" If this is a fair sample Of the
campaign arguments that are to be used by
the Wilson men, the election of Mr.. Hughes
may be regarded as safely assured.
BY the same reasoning we presume Mr..
Lewis holds that every American killed or
robbed or outraged IN Mexico has been slain
by the cruel and bloodthirsty people of this
country who have protested against the WI
son policies. Undoubtedly these same fero-
cious parties have been the cause of driving
the 10000 Americans out of Mexico.
We arrive at the conclusion that the cele-
brated Baby Act was the invention Of this
same Mr.. Lewis, of Illinois, although we had
previously been under the impression that
it belonged to MI. Wilson, in view of the
frequency with which he has invoked 1t.
AS to the revolt against the government at
Washington, Mr.. Lewis is correct. 1t is a
revolt which is growing faster than any re-
volt in this country for a good many years
and which is going to eliminate in the over
turning of said administration and the sub
stitution Of one more in accord with the
ideas of the majority Of the people Of this
country regarding American methods and
principles.

overwhelming display of peaceful force with
all the armed forces of the United States in
Mexico and On the border; that same spirit
which has maintained bloody peace and
sanguinary tranquility despite the wicked
demand that we be plunged into a cruel
war; his sturdy, sterling, immovable, splen'
did Americanism is expressed in the follow
ing statement of policy by Mr.. I'M
"That we should resist the temptation
TO fight where pride and interest move
us in that direction, and that we should
and will fight when we are attacked and
when we find no other means by which
our interests can be safeguarded and
Mexico be given any hope for itself"
Who is there who will not take off his hat
to our illustrious president when he hears
this ringing declaration, and thinks of Vera
Cruz?
Mr.. Wilson will fight. But mark YOU,
there is to be no ignoble fight. We should
hold in lowest estimation that self-seeking
American soldier, the selfish ~vulture, who
allows himself to feel any false pride or I'M
due interest in defending himself against at
tack. The conscientious American when
peppered by a Mexican sniper should be-
ware: he should retire behind a tree and
examine his conscience well to see If he is
actuated by any interest or pride in trying
to perforate his assailant, before he fires
in return. He should moreover be positive
this poor Mexican who is potting him
from the brush has requested that he inter
fere in Mexican affairs; it is indeed prefera-
BILE that this request shall have been filed
in writing at Washington.
Then, humbly and alphabetically, in a.
spirit of hope and h%elpfulness, with his face
sternly set against forcible interference and
shouting the slogan Of Mexico for the Mex
leans" he may advance TO the attack, as a
true American, actuated only by the highest
noblest Of motives, his last, expiring
inspiration being that perhaps he has aided
in some small degree to keep American set
tiers out of Mexico and to abolish and ex-
terminate the wicked capitalist who rays
money to thousands of Mexican
poems wantonly and unscrupulously.
Our great president shall not be forced
into war, though all the powers of Hades
combine to compel him to intervene. This
Is flat. Mexico must be allowed to settle
own affairs in her own way"

For my heart was not with that art imbued
That fashions a diplomatic snare
To throttle a Nations gratitude

Where words, look large and where lives

While my hot cheeks flame with the blush
of shame
For the cry. unanswered from carrizal.
The funeral honors are done. Adair.
And under the earth your body lies;
Thrilling and sweet on the vibrant air
The last long wall OF the bugle dies;
Well was your duty done, Adair,
And duty to lis alone may call
And the blood You shed. how red, how red!

Words and Deeds

"The constitutional rights of American
citizens should protect them on our borders
and 90 with them throughout the world, and
every American citizen residing in or hav.
ing property In any foreign country is en-
titled to and should receive the full protec-
tion Of the United State government both for
himself and his properties"
Democratic platform, 1912, upon which
Woodrow Wilson was elected.)
Thirty thousand Americans residing in or
having property in Mexico have been told to
get out by the Wilson administration, de-
nounced as traitors if they stayed and ex-
plicitly denied the full protection Of the
United States government both for them
selves and their properties" Those owning
properties in Mexico have been denounced
as "vultures."
The Democratic party and the Wilson adj
ministration have thus explicitly and def
nitely committed themselves to an actual
policy which is fatty contradictory to the
platform.
Using the deeds and not the words as a
basis the 1915 Democratic platform should
read:

So far we have not heard it claimed by
any Democrat that the rights of Americans
or their property have been protected in any
degree in Mexico. Hence we conclude that
they agree with us as to the actual admins
