Convention is Closed.
The convention was closed last
evening with a reception at the high
school.
At the final general session last
evening H. w. Shyrock, president OF
the Southern Illinois Normal univer-
sity of Carbondale, ILL.,, delivered an
excellent address on the topic, 1.-THE

Schools Open to All.
He opened his address in light
numerous vein and after announcing
that his patriotism was as loyal as
that of anyone present, ended in a
thunder of condemnation of present
conditions. His opening remarks
dealt largely with economic condi-
tions which are Of much estimable ad-
vantage to the modern men and wo-
men. He graphically cited examples
of how a man could purchase a hat
for nominal price today. while if
he had situated like Robinson Cru
soc and compelled to do all the labor
himself from the first idea down to
the finished product it would take
him about II years and then it would
not be much of a hat. He stated
that the economic conditions of the
present time were oftentimes over
looked by reason of their very obvi-
! ousness. He called attention to the
fact that the public schools we're open
to all and that the states educate and
protect the children so that they in
turn could do something for the
world society.
Classified Into Three Roots.
1.-THE entire human family can be
classified into three great roOts," he
said. 1.-THE first, those who are in
capable of making any return of
value, such as the aged, the very
young and the Detectives; second,
those who are capable but unwilling
third, for those who are willing and
.c capable.
America, for aged people, in gen
eral, has done nothing to secure to
old age it's rights. The aged should
not be expected to make any return
to society an din time every civilized
land will have an old age pension
law. In England recently $66,OOO,-
900 was expended in one year in old
age pensions, for service rendered
for honorable records.

ICANs KNEW THEY WERE CO.
ING TO ATTACK COLUMBUS

In a letter TO the editor OF the Dem
ing Graphic. Buel r. Wood, the Car
rizozo attorney who defended the
ViIIistas convicted of participation In
the Columbus raid, declares that he
became convinced, after securing the
confidence of the men, that all Of the
six raiders executed at Deming knew
for at least two weeks that they were
moving on an American town, and
that there was no hope OF establishing
their innocence. In his letter Attor-
ney Wood says:
Ever since undertook the defense
Of these men, l felt that at no time
could their innocence be ESTABLISHED,
and now that they have paid the ex-
IRENE penalty Of the law In this in,
stance, it is not amiss for the writer
hereof as their attorney to make the
statements which follow:
During the time these men were
awainting trial and while they We're in
Santa re awaiting execution they told
me, after | had gained their conf
'dence, the complete story, In detail,
as to the manner in which Villa CON
ceived Of the raid on Columbus and
how he moved toward that city. From
these different tales ! am firmly con-
WINGED that for two weeks previous to
March 8, not one of the six men but
knew that the expedition of which
they were parties, was going to raid
on an American town in like fashion
and according to the precedent estab-
lished by Villa during his period OF
crime and murder. The one man that
i was able to save after repeated
visits to Santa Fe, on behalf at the
lCarranza government, who was inter
iested in knowing whether or not
these men we're actual %conscript, was
in truth and in fact proven to be
~conscripted to that degree at least
that executive clemency could be
properly asked for.
EVEN since the trial Of these men
there has been a good deal of crit
icism uttered by the newspapers OF
the state and also by a few individuals
of the chicken-hearted variety.
THE activity INDUCED in by several
parties, in the way of kilograms to

by me and consequently, these things

GOVERNMENT BEATS
COLUMBUS LAND HOGS
SITE is PURCHASED SEVERAL
MILES NORTH OF TOWN FOR
BIG GUARD CAMP

Deming, N. M, July 1O.-The mill
tary authorities have purchased sew
eral sections of land several miles
north of Columbus and the soldiers
will all be encamped there as soon as
it is possible to move them. It is said
that the cupidity of the land sharks
in the border town caused the govern
ment to take this step. An attempt
was made to hold up the government
in the price of some lots which it on
templated purchasing in Columbus,
and in order to be freed from all such
annoyance in future, now that the
state militiamen are beginning to ar
rive from all parts of the country, it
decided that it would be better to
have an isolated camp. The men can
be handled better in such a place and
it is understood that the soldiers viii
not be allowed to go and come as
freely as at present. Such an ar
rangement will simplify the work of
the civilian authorities at Columbus,
and the line between the townspeople
and the soldiers can be more closely
drawn.

NOTHING CONCEALED ABOUT STATE
PENTENTARY NOW, Says GOVERNOR
Executive, Declaring Present Superintendent Is
Most Efficient Prison Has Ever Had, Points Out
That Growing institution Gets Along on Same
Old Appropriation

that the Outlook is about the only
paper that wants to be considered
reputable that would copy anything
from that paper without comment.
1.-THE article quoted is simply un-
true. az any one can learn by a little
investigation. The reports of the
pe~nitentiary board may be had for
reference to the facts generally.
1.-THE appropriation for maintenance
of the penitentiary is the same that
it has been since 1905, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the number Of con-
victs has about doubled, and the cost
of all supplies increased very much.
1.-THE last Legislature made an In
vestigation for the purpose Of attempt
ing to discredit the superintendent in
some way, and it vas an ignominious
failure.
II say, and no one well informed
will, in my opinion, undertake to deny,
that John B. McManus is the most
capable and efficient superintendent
the ~penitentiary has ever had. His
record is n of which he and all the
people Of the state may we'll be proud.
"In 1912 an appropriation OF $1G,-
was provided to cover deficien-
cies, which occurred during the 61st,
62nd and 63rd fiscal years. There
have been no deficiencies since Mr..
McManus has been in charge.
"The records are available. There
is nothing concealed or covered up
about the p~enitentiary now.

Clark Leaves
For San Francisco

Herbert W. Clark, of Las Vegas, a
member of the state tax commission
since its creation, and one of the
best known young attorneys of New
Mexico, will leave Las Vegas next
Sunday night for San Francisco, Cal,
to reside permanntly. He will be-
come identified prominently with one
Of the California tax associations.
Mr.. Clark's resignation as a member
of the New Mexico tax association is
now in the hands of Governor Nc
Donald.
The work which Mr.. Clark will un-
dertake in California was offered him
as a direct result of his excellent serv-
ice with the state tax commission
here. When the tax commission was
created by the last legislature Mr..
Clark was named as n of the two
Republican members by Governor Nc
Donald, and he has been n of the
most active and efficient members.
Recognition of Mr.. Clark's ability as a
lawyer and taxe expert and his useful
ness as a citizen, is statewide, and
New Mexico is sustaining a distinct
loss in his departure for other fields.
