On another page OF this
ISSUE will be found a statement
Of the expenditures of the Luna
County Road Board. 1t will
he remembered by a number OF
our readers that at a meeting
held the first of July $4,000
vas appropriated for the Co
umbus road. The report above
mentioned shows that $4,000
vas spent on the Columbus
road. The funds are exhausted.
What became of the remaining
$1,000 is a question we would
ike to have answered. 1t is
also noted that So, 800 Of the
-oad money has been spent on
The Tres Hermanas route to-
ward the mines of DR.. Swope
and j. A. Mahoney. There
mas never been any appropria-
tion for this road at any regular
session of the board. BY
whose authority was this So, 800
used is another question.
A review of the workings OF
the road board for the past four
years would be interesting, and
possibly the voters aud tax pay
ers of the county would like to
see a complete report of the
work accomplished and all ex-
penditures. When DIR. Hoffman
was chairman OF the board and
Bedicheck secretary and trea-
surer the big four tractor was
bought. The deal was opposed
by C. NJ. Sadler, the other
member. The tractor cost in
the neiehborhood of $4,000. A
smaller tractor has been bought
since for 81 $50 which has been
several times as much benefit
to the county and could be
operated at a much smaller ex.
pense. When Chas. Heath was
appointed on the board the
other members did not even
know where the big tractor was,
When he found it, it was
several miles east of Deming,
standing on end in the bed Of
the Mimbres River, the tools
and oil cups all missing.
The people are having to pay
ior good roads whether they GET
them or not, and it is only just
and right that they at least
know exactly what is being
done. This way of using pub.
lie funds for the benefit of one
or two individuals should be
stopped. Columbus has been
trying to get a road for five
years and TODAY it is no better
than it was then. A citizen Of
Demine stated to the writer this
week that if he had been living
in Columbus he would have
stopped the road work in this
county long before now with an
INDUCTION, and that Columbus
had been treated dirty. Now
the thing we need is good men
on the board. Bush and

Shown pemooratIo Meakness.


The friends Of President Wilson ad
init the weakness Of their candidate
when they persist in wanting to know
what Hughes would have done. The
query is a confession that the presi-
dent has made a mess of things. II
they were satisfied with his course
they would point to it with pride, but
they are not and they know that 9th
ers are not satisfied.
They do not undertake to justify
what he has done in Mexico, for ex-
ample. They fall back on the lame
expedient of asking what someone
else would have done that might be
more satisfactory. What Mr.. Hughes
would have done is not at issue. AS
The Star has pointed out before, it is
idle to discuss how he would have met
conditions that never would have de-
veloped under different handling.
The interesting fact now is not what
anyone else would have done, but what
President Wilson did do. Even his sup
porters tacitly acknowledge that he
bungled, and they are asking the pub
lie to overlook that fact and return
him to Office. They convict their W
candidate when they attempt to fasten
on his opponent some Of the embar-
rassment that is theirs.

Real Party Politics.

A little while ago the Democrats
were charging that the Republicans, by
assailing the botch the administration
had made of our international rela-
lions, were unpatriotic in that they
were dragging partisan politics into
foreign affairs. "Partisanship," said
Robert Lansing, secretary Of state,
with becoming gravity, SHOULD stop at
tide water"
Now comes the president with his
demagogic cry that IL he is not re-
elected president the Republicans will
plunge the country into war. This is
playing party politics in foreign affairs
with a vengeance. 1t endeavors to
make the other nations of the world a
party to our domestic election. Un-
warranted In fact, uttered with a SUI
preme -carelessness as to the result on
American prestige and standing
abroad, put forth in a panic when the
f~atuousness Of other cries was demon.
strated, it marks the low estate to
which the presidency in present hands
has fallen.

"When Mr.. Hughes promises to give
the people Of New York a clean, hon
est administration, free from boss rule
and corporation influence, they can ac-
cept his word. His record Is that
of a man who keeps his word faithful
ly and scrupulously. When has he ever

No. brother, this is not an extract
from the Republican campaign text
book. It is taken from the editorial
column Of the New York World, the
present leading journalistic supporter
OF Woodrow Wilson, dated October II,
1915.
This same paper, on January 2, lOOS,
remarked that among all the gov
ernors of the 40 states Mr.. Hughes
holds a unique position as to power,
influence and opportunity" On May
1, 1908, the World recorded that Gov
ernor Hughes has probably less ego
in him than any other really big man
In public life. He is so exacting In
himself that he looms small In self
estimation compared with the public's
estimation"

Merely A FARCE[
Silly Talk About President VIII
sons "Firm Convictions"
Cases Of Nicaragua, Haiti, santo Do
mlnao, and Panama Show How HE
Idea Of InVIoIabIe Rights
Works Out.

DR.. Julian Irias, a member Of the
liberal party of Nicaragua, wanted to
be elected president Of that republic
in the recent national election. He
went to Washington to ask the per
mission Of the United States govern
ment to be a candidate. He was told
at the state department that the per-
mission would be forthcoming provid-
ed that he would consent to consult
the United States about Nicaraguan
finances I'm the event Of his election I;
that he would recognize all treaties be-
tween Nicaragua and the United
States; that he would request the
United States to keep its marines In
Nicaragua, and that he would be
agreeable to the American policy in
favor OF the abolition Of the Nicara-
guam army and the creation instead Of
a c%onstabulary Differed by Americans.
Having given these promises Doctor
Irias returned to Nicaragua and was
nominated for president by the liberal
party. But, according to the story he
and his followers tell, he found he had
been double crossed. The American
minister had taken charge of the cleo
ton and arrangements had been made
to beat Doctor Irlas. Accordingly the
doctor did not run. That is, no liberal
went to the polls. Senior Chamorro'
the conservative candidate, backed by
the American minister, won. Now a
revolution is brewing in Nicaragua.
1.-TWO considerations" says the Dem
ocratic campaign text book, "have ami
mated the president in the formulation
Of his Mexican policy and have com
PEELED his adherence to it throughout
his administration, namely: The firm
conviction that all nations, both the
weak and the powerful, have the in
violable right to control their inter
nal affairs" etc.
Nicaragua, like Haiti, SantO Denim
go and Panama is a shining example
Of what the presidents firm convic
ton as to inviOlnble rights actually
means in practice.

Why Women Are for Hughes.

The Democratic party in its nation
al platform takes the ground that 1t
believes in equal suffrage but as a
national party is without power to
grant it, and the presidential candi-
date Of the party does not point a way.
The presidential candidate of the Re
publican party advocates the enact
ment of an equal suffrage amendment
to the federal Constitution demon
strating that he really means what
he says when he says he is in favor
of equal suffrage. Is it wonderful un-
der the circumstances that a large pro-
portion of the m who desire the
ballot and are organized to promote
their cause feel more friendly to the
candidacy Of Mr.. Hughes than toward
that of Mr.. Wilson?

caIIfornIa RepubIlcans United.

Republicans Of California are In
harmony and will support the Repub-
lican candidate for United States n
tor, Gov. Hiram Johnson" declared o.
A. Jackson OF San Francisco, at the
Willard. MANY Republican leaders
had hoped that the regular Republi-
can candidate, Willis Booth, would be
nominated, and the Democrats, l may
say, also were hoping this would oc-
cur, because they saw in 1t a possible
split in the party and the election Of
a Democrat to succeed Senator Works.
With the nomination of Johnson, hOE-
ever, the Republicans have accepted
the situation, and l I'M confident they
will support the nominee. Johnson,
of curse, will get all the Progressive
votes, and with the Republicans voting
sOlidly for him, as l believe they will,
there is not the slightest doubt that
they will elect him.

dent in the Democratic hopes of gain
ing a senator in a Republican state"

What MlchIean's Primary Shows.

The official " of the votes cast
In the primary in Michigan brings out
clearly the way the Republicans and
Progressives are united on practically
a 100 per cent basis in the Wolverine
state. The vote in the primary was
the largest ever recorded in Michigan
since the direct primary law went into
effect. There was cast on the Repub-
Iican side a total of 2S4,640 votes.
There was cast on the Democratic side
a total of 29,935 votes.
These figures back up the conten-
lions of Republican leaders that the
state will go Republican in November
by an old-time Michigan majority OF
better than 100000.

Mr. Marshall Is Ineonslstent.

Tom Marshall, in his Terre Haute
speech, declared that were President
Wilson to die he would resign rather
than accept the awful responsibilities
Of the presidency. If he feels that
way about 1t, why did he accept a re-
nomination for the vice presidency?
And why does he not even now retire
from the ticket? We all know that we
elect a vice president in order that
he may become president If the presi-
dent dies, and we all know, too, that
the possibilities Of such a succession
are great. Three of the last ten men
elected president have died in office,
and Mr.. Marshall as vice president
might be called any day to assume the
office Of chief executive.

ut is possible that we would dis

would take about q hundred dogs and
what sledges we required for explorn-

Captain Bartlett ran away to sea
when a boy, and has lived most of his

Peary on the Windward in 1897 and
1898. He went on another expedition
to Hudson straits and was captain Of
a sealing vessel Off Newfoundland. In
1905 he was preparing to go north
again, and planned the Roosevelt after
the manner of the Fran. He superin-
tended the vessels construction, and
as skipper piloted her in 1905 through

DeSoto County Leads

The Association of the Southern
Commission ON Accredited Schools
met recently at Durham, N. c.,
and completed the work of listing
the schools of the south for the
present year. Under this new
schedule Florida has one school
less than last year, owing to the
fact that three old schools were
dropped, while only two new ones
were added, thus making a net
loss of one school.
Educators everywhere agree
that for school to be placed on
this list is the highest recognition
of standing that can be given, es-
pecially since close inspection is
given each year, and all those
schools that fail to keep pace with
the progress demanded are weeded
out.
1t is an interesting fact that De-
Soto county stands second in the
state in the number of schools on
this list, only the county of Pinel-
las leading her in number, Pinel-
las having four and DeSoto coun-
ty three. 1t is up to Sebring,, a
Won Park, Bowling Green Zolfo,
and other already splendid schools
to captt1re this prize away from

Promising New Fruits

The behavior of a seeding Chi
nese litchi tree in California,
which is now about IA years old,
and of marched trees in Florida,
now years old indicate that there
are areas in Florida and Califor-

til they become thoroughly estab-
lished. The fruit produced by
the experimental trees, according
to the specialists of the depart
ment who have been working for
its Introduction, is excellent and
its appearance and shipping quail
ity are certain to insure a ready
