MERELY A CARPET BAGGER

A. E. James, the party who is muck
raking the schools of New Mexico at the pre-.
sent time under the guise of representative
Of the Tan Payers Association, can hardly
he said to be a citizen of the state and GER
ta.n)y not in position to be in sympathy with
either the public schools or institutions of the
state.
As evidence of this fact we are Informed
that he has recently stated in the presence
o' leading school men OF New Mexico that
h: would not send his children to the Santa
Re public schools: thai his daughter is now
:: tending a private school and that his sons
would be sent elsewhere when they are big
enough to attend school.
Mr.. James is merely a carpet Dagger in
terested in drawing a salary from a state wide,
semi public association and making recon-
mendations which if needed would cripple
every office, improvement and institution in
the state to the end of saving a few paltry
dollars.
What New Mexico needs is construction
md Improvement. What Mr.. James proposes
is stagnation and retrogression. Economy
that secures a dollars worth of benefit for a
dollar spent is what the people of New Mex

the dollar and thereby stagnate progress and
leave the rising generation in ignorance.
AS our schools are not good enough for
Mr.. lanes children, of course he does not care
whether we have any or not.
But do the people of this state want the
advice of a man who assumes such an atti-
ttide We think not.
If the schools of New Mexico are. not
GOOD enough for Mr.. James children he
should lose no time in moving to where they
are.
If Mr.. lanes practice in Juggling fig
',res has elevated him to such high intelligence
that he knows more than all the members of
t'c legislature. the state officers and all the
college presidents of the state. which attitude
he assumes in his actions, his sreech and his
writings. he is in danger of being degraded
and had better wran his ~spotless linen about
him and demrt. otherwise it may become
spciled bv the fumes which eminate from his
W muck raking.

PURELY PARTISAN CONTROL

The President has sent to the Senate the
nomination of Raymond T. Baker of Reno,
Nevada, to be director of the mint, to succeed
F. ]. Won Engelken of Florida. But the
latter has not resigned nor has he been re-
moved. He has been slated to be president
of the Farm Loan Bank to be established at
Columbia, South Carolina; but the directors
of the bank, who will nominally select the Of
~ficers, have not yet been appointed. There is
a doctrine Of natural science that two bodies
cannot occupy the same space at the same time;
SO it will be interesting to note how Messrs.
Baker and Won Engelken manage it at the mint
office. There is another circumstance also
which provokes comment in the incident. The
rural credits act provides for the organization
of a dozen land banks throughout the country.
1t does not provide, so far as we ascertain,
the officers of these banks are to be pick
ed out at Washington, but that they are to be
by the directors, who, in the first in
stance, will be selected by the administration.
The shipping board was supposed to enjoy a
freedom of choice in selecting its chair
but it speedily developed that Secretary
McAdoo had picked out the man for the place
and that a commissioner who would not o.
*. the selection was at liberty to resign. So
is to be with the land banks.
These institutions have been heralded by
energetic and we'll paid publicity agents in the
employ as being projected along
lon-partisan lines. Yet the selection of an
administration favorite like Won Engelken gives
the lie to all such protestations. The rural
credits system, like all the other novel schemes
by this administration, will be made
4 partisan incubator.

LINDSEY HAS SOLID PARTY SUPPORT

For sometime the Republican leaders OF
this state have made no attempt to deny that
serious differences existed between strong
factions of the party; those differences being
caused by misunderstanding, conflicting in
terests unavoidable in a state of such magni-
ficent distances and vast and varied natural
resources, and a desire for office upon the
part of a large number of aspiring indivi-
duals. These differences have worked to-
gether to bring some losses to the party in
the state elections,
Tuesday last the state committee of the Re-
publican party, answering a call by its chair
man, met in this city for the discussion of
matters of great Importance to the future of
the party in this state. 1t was persistently
published by the official newspaper prevarica-
tor of the state that new differences had arr
sen between members of the committee and
the chairman. and that forced changes would
take place. The developments of the meet
ing made it plain that the chairman desired
to resign, being led to believe that the new
Republican executive of the state desired
scmone else at the head of the party. Also it
was published that Bursum, a recognized
leader, wanted to be the state chairman, and
was dissatisfied with the present leadership.
AS the meeting progressed it became GER
tain that the Republican executive did not
ask, or desire, a change of party leadership,
Bursum did not desire to be the state chair
man. and discussions disclosed the fact that
many of the warning factions were not so
far apart as their members believed and that
a policy of give and take would adjust all
Republican differences. With one or two
unimportant exceptions every Republican
leader-Progressive or Observation-Disclosures
a strong desire to give, and it was not long
until a complete understanding was had be-
tween some of the strongest men of the party
who have been misunderstanding each other
for some years.
1t developed during the meeting that Gov
Lindsey stood firmly upon the party
of last fall, and favored carrying
ont each and every promise. In this he is
in line with many of the other party
who have been working for nearly
months to have those promises redeemed
full. The more conservative leaders came
forward with willingness to meet the more
progressive leaders, and from now on they
work together for the bettement of the
party and upbuilding of the state. All these
men agree that selfish interests and personal
ambitions must not be permitted to interfere
with the spread of Republicanism in the state
and establishment of a safe and progressive
administration.
From now on Republicans of this state

A TIP FROM GERMANY

The most cutting comment upon the mill
tary unpreparedness of the United States does
not come from the lips of any partisan critic
of the administration in this country, but
a high ranking official of the German EN-
pire. He profess unconcern over the entry of
the United States into war because, the war
will be over before the United States is ready
to begin hostilities. Yet there has been warm
ing enough. Two years sand a half have
elapsed since Belgium was invaded and Ar
mageddon began. More than a year ago the
President preached the doctrine of falling
sparks throughout the West. Yet nothing
has been done-except to try to authorize the
taking over of m%unition plants, which are do
ing something, to be operated under the di-
rection of administration officials, who are
doing nothing. The sarcasm of the Germans
is well-founded.

will refuse to listen to the misrepresentation
and falsehoods of those seeking to disrupt the
party in order to work through their own sell
fish schemes and forward their own ambitions
at the expense of the party. No personal in
terests will be permitted to endanger party
success from now on, and those men who are
willing to sacrifice the party for personal
gain will be the only ones ignored. The men
who have fought the battles of the party
and suffered the scars of its past victories and
defeats will be considered, as well as those
who have wandered away with an honet pur-
pose, and the party will march to a triumph
ant victory at the next election.

fifteen thousand. 1t is conceded that the en-
trymen cannot, on an average, journey to the
land office of his district, with his witnesses
paying their expenses and his own for less
than twenty dollars. A few of them who re-
side near land offices will have little expense.
but the larger portion live thirty, sixty, ninety,
and many over a hundred miles from author
lied officials and the trip means three or four
days time and expense for three men, aggre-
eating fifty or seventy five dollars in each
case, which is a mighty big item Of expense
for a mar who is trying to start in and build
a home for himself with a capital consisting
of a large family, a bronco team, a COW, a
pig, half a dozen chickens, and no cash what
ever, which is the normal circumstances Of
the pioneers who have made this country
great.
An even worse feature is the fact that the
commissioner has permitted many second en-
tries over the first settler by later arrivals
who were provided with the blank forms
which he is willing to accept, and has thus
laid the foundations for hundreds of long
and expensive legal contests.
There is no excuse whatever for the action
of the commissioner of the General Land Of

Washington could have turned out enough
proper blanks to have located all the vacant
land in the west in six hours. 1t has done
larger jobs n less time. An abundant supply
could have been in every land office and in
the same mail which carried the copies Of the
and instructions, and several days before
the applicants began to arrive in any large
numbers
1t is simply another class of bungling mis-
management on the part of officials who ha-
bitually spend their time in making the way
Of the settler and developer of the west diff
ficult, expensive and discouraging. Instead
serving the people the general land office in
this case, as in many others, has imposed an
immense, needless, and useless expense and
burden upon people who are in no way able
to heart it.
The Record sees no excuse, either, for

Because the commissioner of the General
Land Office failed to provide the proper ap-
pllcation blanks for entrymen who desired to
apply for land under the GAO acre homestead

which he will not now accept, or approve, the
people of the public land states have been for

Of The Evening Worldly

| CAMP UPTON. YAPHANK, n. Y,
Oct 29.-An official investigation is
being made to-day into tho railway
accident which turned Camp Upton's
holiday into day Of gloom when IA
string OF empty freight cars was
pushed by a backing passenger train
into a crowd OF recruits and their
Sunday visitors at the camp station.
One man. Joseph Mcssina OF Battery
i. 3OGth Field Artillery, was killed.
Two others are expected TO die. They
are Frank J. Mcfarland, twenty Ave
years old, of Battery A, 3O5th Field
Artillery. whose homo is at No. III
Hancock Street. Brooklyn, and Eric
Hammer, thirty years old. of the 1j2d
Depot Brigade. whose homo is at No.

Nine other recruits and two women
visitors TO the camp were injured
The women are Miss Esther Gellman,
eighteen years old, OF the Bronx, who
suffered severe contuslons OF the right
thigh and leg, and Miss Ida Cross
man. twenty-one years old. of No. 167
Havcmcyer Street, Brooklyn, who
was overcome by shock and hys-
terics.
the investigation, ordered by Major
Gen. Franklin J. Bell. is being con-
Quoted by Lieut.. Col. l.. l.. Booth
chief OF Staff. SO far the facts
brought out indicated that the acct
dent was due to lack of a secure
bumper at the end OF one Of the
blind tracks abutting on the gravellci i

Also the empty freight cars appar-
entity did not have their brakes set
Hence, when an empty pdsSengcr

was backed down the spur track by
It's engineer, Frank Smith, the freight
cars offered little resistance. They
were shunted up against the buffer
block, made OF railroad ties. and this
gave way. permitting the freight cars
to catapult into the crowd passing

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are aHarmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit OF DR.. Edwards's determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teethlike
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold Of the trouble ard quicklycorrecti it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. II
Is best not TO take calomel, but to let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" r"clouded
brain and howthey "perkup" the spirits.
