REED HOLLOMAN TO
HEAR CASES OF TWO
MAGAZINE AGENTS
SECOND TRIAL OF cLAPP AND
HERBERT PROMISES TO BE
LONG DRAWN OUT
lMondayl

Frank Clapp and i. Z. Herbert,
magazine subscription solicitors, again
iced trial today in district court on
the charge Of obtaining money under
false pretenses in Santa Fe. Clapp
and Herbert yer tried here this win
ter on this charge before District
Judge Abbott, but the jury failed to
agree.
BY consent of both plaintiff and de.
PENDANT, Reed Holloman. of the law
firm Of Catron and Catron, was called
upon to try the case, Judge Abbott
now being at the border. 1t is a west
ern practice to cali any member of
the bar to try cases in the absence of
a judge, when both parties agree.
AS at the former trial, the cas- gives
promise of being long drawn out, not
only because of the mass of testimony
to be introduced, but also because of
the frequent objections of Judge Ed
ward R. Wright, who, with Attorney
E. P. Davies, represents the defend
ants. Assistant District Attorney A.
NJ. Edwards is representing the state.
A. G. Ackert, manager of agents Of the
Pictorial Review and authorized to
represent a cor or more other mag
azines at the trial, is one Of the chief
for the state.
Clapp and Herbert motored to this
,ity in the winter of last year and are
to have canyassed many homes
lere, telling the women they met that
hey we're two yong students trying Il
work their way through college. Two
1oung women are said to have worked
n their employ, ~canvassing men in
he city with the story that they also
we're seeking an education. The plan
s said to have met with considerable
success, the women giving subscrip-
ions to the men solicitors, and the
men subscribing at the suggestion of
he women agents.
In the midst of this subscription
iampaign a circular arrived calling for
he arrest of certain agents and Clapp
md Herbert yer promptly arrested
md then let out on bail. Clapp and
Herbert stOutly maintained their in
locence. attributing their arrest to
unsatisfactory work of certain young
men who had been in their employ.

Largely due to the accomplish
ments of Uncle Sam, irrigation invest
ments in the west and southwest arc
rapidly coming ont from under their
cloud" said f. H. Ertel, general west
ern manager for the Financial World"
of New York today. Mr.. Ertel stopped
in Santa Fe in connection with some
inquiries about the Arroyo Hondo pro-
ject. He bases his statement regard
ing the rising status Of irrigation in
vestments on the fact that mortgages
on such properties, which are his par.
ticular speciality, are fast growing in
favor and finding a reader market.
His idea is that the government recla-
nation projects have demonstrated
the real merits of irrigated farming
in the west and have shown what per
manency is possible under proper con
ditions.

BRASS-BAND HYPOCRITES.

No, no, Mister Smart Elick! II
you think The Fool-Killer has
ever said one word against the
true religion-genuine Christlani-
ty-you'd better take your think
er to the blacksmith shop and
have it cleaned out and repaired.
The thing that this old sin-soak-
ed earth needs most and has the
least of is genuine old-fashioned,
honest Christian religion-the
kind that can take a low-down be-
sotted wretch, drunkard, a
thief, a lawyer, a deacon, or even
a congressman, and tranform
him into a decent critter.. There
used to be that kind Of religion
on earth, and I am convinced that
there is a little of it yet, but it is
getting so scarce that mighty
few people ever get to see it in
operation.
This fine fddle-diddle sort of
religion that is so popular and so
plenty everywhere is worth about
as much toward redeeming a
world as a half-bushel Of seed
ticks would be worth in making
a family pie. The Fool-Killer
does condemn the modern Nam
monized churches for their hifalu.
tin formality in which there is
just about as much true christi
anity as there is CUTS in a mill:
stone.
If this world is ever lifted uI
and transformed into decent
world, the spirit Of true Christi
anity must do it. There is M
other power that can, But thu
churches Of to-day are largely
filed up with white-washed hypo
critics who can kiss you on tn
lips and then turn and stab you il
the back before you have time t.
wipe their nasty slobber off.
The fool-killer., 1916-10-01
JAMES LARKIN PEARSON.

That kind Of cattle are to blame
for the great wave Of unbelief
that is sweeping over the earth.
Those on the outside are not so
much to blame for being doubters.
They know very well that most of
the so-called religion they see
around them is a rank humbug,
and they naturally conclude that
it s all alike. From their worldly
standpoint they are not able to
see the difference.
If the churches of America
would practice what they preach
for just one week, can you guess
what would happen? Why, bless
your mortified gizzard, the red
eyed sinners would be as thick
around the altar as tramps around
a free lunch counter. There would
be more dirty knees than you ever
saw before, and enough tears Of
repentance shed to wash up all the
|ambear that the amen deacons
have squirted over the floor.
Yes, sir, give us the genuine
old-fashioned Christianity in
great hunks-the more the better
but Lord deliver us from this
modern man-made mongrel mess
Of moral mush dished out by a
bunch Of Grassland hypocrites.

instead Of that, it puts the prem

YES. I'M SOME PREACHER
MYSELF.

A preacher is usually judged
by the size Of his audience, and it
he can get four or five hundred
of the brethren and slsteren out
to hear him toot his gospel horn
once or twice a month, he thinks
he is a pretty bang-up preacher.
And each member of the flock is
expected to she'll out a dollar or
two about every so often to help
grease the gospel gimlet.
That S all very nice and proper,
no doubt, and I haven't a word
to say against it; but what start
ed out to say is this: If a preach
er is judged by the size Of his
audience, then [ am some preach
er myself, for l am preaching
ence a month to an audience OF
over 5000 people. And [ don't
give them just one little sermon
and quit, like the other preachers
do, but I stay and preach six. or
eight good sermons on every trip.
And then just think Of the
price,! Your preacher thinks you
are mighty stingy and close-fsted
if you don't grease his pocket to
the tune of ten of fifteen dollars
year, and he will not get mad if
you double Or treble the amount.
But [ give you more preaching
and better preaching than he does
for only 25 cents year; and if
you'll hitch up the wagon and
bring several Of your neighbors to
meeting with you, you can all get
your years preaching for fifteen
cents apiece.
Now, can you beat that for a
bargain? [ think not. There has
,never been SO much good preach
ing offered so cheap before, and
if you ever expect to get the
cuckleburrs of sin curried out OF
your name, now is the time. The
currycomb Of truth which I use
will remove the. burrs and also
loosen up the bark Oh you old
hidebound sinners. It may hurt
considerably, and you may have
to squirm and twist like five hun
dred, but it will be good for you
Delay is dangerous, so don't pu1
it off, but buy your tickets to-day

has ever opened his mouth be
tween the two oceans.

Mister Puff and Miss Slobber.

Old Man Time, as he jogs
along, spills out of his leather
apron many wonders.
But nothing caps the stack like
the things that happen when all
ble-bodied case Of forty-rod love
gets breeches-holt on couple OF
natural-born fools.
Sufficient proof that God is all
powerful is the fact that He can
find mates for some folks that
marry. Nothing short of Omnipo-
tence col d do it.
It was my luck, not long ago,
to witness a scene that would
make Cupid crawl in a hole and
give Old Harry the blind stag
gers.
/ saw love-smitten pair pre-
sent themselves before a digni-
fed J. P. for the purpose Of get
ting their feet hobbled in the
saw-briers of matrimony.
The groom was about half
drunk and staggard in putting d
cigarette that smelled like burn
ing hog-hair in skillet. His right
breeches leg had a Whelk running
whompergodlin across it from the
southeast three holes and one
patch to rip that was not visible
when he sat down.
| And the bride was one holy
sight. Her face could not possibly
have held any more ugliness un-
less it had been made bigger. She
carried in her left hand a snuff
box that would hold something
less than gallon, while the gap
in her face was decorated with
two streaks Of brown slobber and
a handspike that did service as a
toothbrush.
Imagine that pair Of purity
things standing up in the pres
ence Of God and man and declar-
ing that they loved each other
But they did it, all right.
Yes, they stood there side by side
While the knot was being tied;
That old stinker he did puff,
While she dipped that nasty snuff.
There they made their solemn VOWS
To indulge in family rows,
And to work at least enough
To buy cigarettes and snuff.
Now I'm satisfied in mind
It's blessing Love is blind;
It he'd seen that pair, no doubt
He'd have spewed his innards out
And the dignifed J. P. rose
and said:
"Mr. Cigarette, will you take
this Toothbrush to be your awful
and dreaded wife,. to smell TO-
gether in the rotton estate OF
mattery noses, to keep her i1
sickness and snuff, to shove and
perish her as long as We both
: shall live? Now, therefore, ]
pronounce you puff and snuff
now and forever, world without
! end, amen, and may the Lore
have mercy ON your poor foo
souls!''
