InternationaIity of Music.

The point IS often made, and with
justice for the most part, that great
musical ventures in America, usually
in the hands of foreigners, retain a
flavor of the nationality of the individ-
ual who stands at their head, and in
this way the internationally and neu-
trality is often destroyed.

can in no wise be said. The Philhar-
monte Society is in the first place an

Ask Sheriff to Appoint Local
Citizen as Deputy; Offer

The Citizen is in receipt of the
following communication from Guy,
New Mexico, which tells its own inter
esting story:
The citizens of Guy and neighboring
vicinity met at Guy school house, Sat
urday evening for the purpose of de-
vising ways and means by which they
might aid Union County officials in
suppressing the wave of lawlesness
which is sweeping this neighborhood
and threatening to confscate every
thing of value from an old hen to the
horse and mule.
w. S. Rowley was elected chairman
of the meeting, and R. M. Taylor sec
retary. After various things were
fully discussed a motion carried to
petition the sheriff of Union county
to appoint W. S. Rowley as deputy.

REPEATED ATTACKS AT
LAST MEET RESISTANCE
Former Sheriff Mansker De-
cides to Answer Fake Re-
ports Circulated by Dem
ocratic Organ

TIE work of fiction, (inspired by
the democratic bosses of Union county
and written FOR the most part by an
attorney which has been running at
intervals as a. serial story in the Clay
ton "News" 8 democratic newspaper,
since last July, concerning Robt. T,
Mansker, suspended sheriff of Union
county, reached such point of bra
zenness in last weeks issue of the
"News" that Mr.. Mansker's friends
have prevailed on him to make a pub
: lie statement in the interests of him
self and interests of real truth and
fairness.
It is common talk among the better
class of democrats that the manner
in which the "News" is handling the
Nansker suspension case is doing
much injury to the democratic party
in Union county, especially in initial
ing non-interested parties into the
belief that the repeated rehash of the
case is nothing more nor less than
plain, cheap, democratic political per-
secution. Even the ringsters in the
party are not entirely satisfied with
the way the "News" is making thun-
der of the case as the "boys" are not
strong for the "News" editors loose
regard for the truth.
Readers of Mr.. Mansker's statement
which follows, will doubtless pardon
him for his plain way of calling the
"News" a liar. This assertion of the
News" untruthfulness is rather su-
perhuous as District Judge Lieb
through his various opinions in con-
nection with the case has done it for
Mr.. Mansker.

JAMES SAYS TWO WARD
SCHOOLS TOO COSTLY
Tax Payers Association Be-
comes Interested in Plans
to Locate Clayton's Pro-
posed High School

Clayton's proposed High school and
the varied controversies as a sequence
of the Board of Education contracting
for the purchase of site has attract
ed attention of Director James of the
New Mexico Taxpayers Association.
Local council member G. G. Granville
submitted the following from himself
for publication together with letter
from Director James on the situation:
Editor of the Clayton Citizen,
Clayton, New Mexico.
by way of explanation / would
suggest for the information Of the
readers of The Citizen that the "Tax
Payers Association" is an organiza-
tion Of citizens from all parts of the
state of New Mexico. It has for its
object and purpose the protection of
the taX-paying public of the state from
lnjudicious and wasteful expenditure
of public monies, from excessive and
unwise taxation, and from inequitable
apportionment Of the tax burdens of
the state, and its several subordinate
municipal organizations.
"The work is in charge of A.. E.
James, Director, of Santa Fe, New
Mexico. Mr.. James is an expert in
tax matters, and any suggestions that
he has to offer are worthy of most
careful consideration. He is employ
ed by the Association and devotes his
time to the investigation and study
of matters pertaining to taxation. with
a view to assist the tax payers of the
state.
The central organization of the Tax
Payers Association is composed of
one member from each county of the
state, and is called the general coun-
ell. Through no choice of mine have
been designated as the representative
of Union county, and for that reason
the letter printed herewith was adj
dressed to me.
Respectfully yours,
G.. G, Granville"

Mr.. Mansker,s Statement

"In its issue of May 18th, the Clay
ton News prints, what it is pleased
to call Facts, tersely and fairly stat
ed" relative to the case of Sheriff
Mansker. The News has, heretofore,
said more or less about this case,
but all of such vaporings were thought
unworthy Of reply, because the preju-
dice of that paper against me, was so
apparent that l believed that my
friends, and the people generally,
would give that papers utterances no
consideration. But, this last issue mis-
represents the facts so grossly that ]
have felt it necessary to make this re-
ply.
"The law says, that in cases where
officers are suspended, that they shall
have the benefit Of preferential triaI
by a jury; and that such case shall
have the preference over all Other
cases on the docket. Now, was sus.
pended from Office July 13, 1915, ant
had the legal right to a preferential
trial by the jury of the September
1915, term of the District Court. Wher
I was suspended | Immediately EN-
ployed attorneys, and instructed them
particularly, to do everything possible
to get me a hearing before jury al
the September term. My case wa!
set for hearing the first jury day ot
the September term of court; and
was ready for the hearing, and my at
torneys so announced in open court
but the state was not ready to give
me trial, and wanted to continue tht
case to the next term of the cour
so that my books could be officially
audited by the State Travelling Audit
or; and that if such audit should SHOW
that / was not short in my accounts
with the county, that there would b'
little or nothing left of the charges
made against me. And my belief wal
that / would be re-instated in Office
if my books were officially found to b.
correct. So, finally, but reluctantly
agreed that the case might be continu
ed for the principal purpose of allow
ing my books to be officially audited
Whereupon, the court made an orde
continuing the case for the term
which order speaks for itself and i

Mr.. G. G. Granville,

Clayton, New Mexico
Dear Sir:
Il have been watching with interest
the high school building matter in
Clayton.
The Clayton high school, in the year
l9l4-15 had only II pupils in the two
highest grades as against 455 in the
primary to the tenth grades inclusive.
From these figures it would seem that
there might be danger of developing
in Clayton, a tOp-heavy high school
before the demand for this instruction
has been built up.
May | suggest that the two-school
proposal seems hardly sound or war
ranted. In the long run is it not most
important that the school house shall
be as close as possible to the probable
center of population in the school dis
trict? While | am not familiar with
Clayton, unless conditions are very
unusual, it hardly seems desirable to
have two school houses with complete
grade equipment and teachers in a
district containing no more than 500
pupils. The cost of schools i nthe
long run may be expressed in just
two words-teachers wages.
The more centrally the school can be
located the more pupils an individual
teacher can be given, the cheaper will
be the operation of the schools and the
more efficient will be their manage
ment. Multiplication of school houses
means a large increase in the teaching
force. If two schools are desirable
may suggest that one of them should
undertake no more than the primary
and first or second grades and the
main work with all of the other pupils
be centralized in the other school.
The enrolment by grades for the
wear ending in 1915 was:
