The Land Of the Cows
my e A MR.. EDITOR:

MY DEAR Mr.. EDITOR:
The attached clipping shows that you are
both a reader and a student of southwestern
history. II the areas included within the
proposed new county are to be named as
"of the cows" you are prominently correct
and so is the legislature. Castaneda, and
later De Sosa and then Onate all described
the locality as the land of the cows the
great quadr1ped being entirely unknown to
the Spaniard. Then let us forget that the
king of Spain conferred upon an ancestor
of our present governor the right to "Ca-
beza de Vaca" to his name of Nune and
have it recorded that the new county is
truly the land Of the COW, ancient buffalo
and modern long and shorthorn and then
|"De Baca' will have a proper significance.
Yours,
fst s.1 H. R. E. TWIpCHELL.

Buy a Ticket
r. E. TWITCHELL.

1t is quite the least the citizens Of Santa
Fe can do to show their appreciation of the
work lone among Santa Fe boys to make
men of them, and of the real obligation un-
der which the Boy Scouts have placed the
city, to buy tickets for their benefit perfor.
nance at the Elks' theater on February II.
These boys are worthy of every helping
hand the fathers and mothers can give.
They are pledged to "do a good turn daily"
not to ask for aid but to give it: not to be
served but to serve. They turned out during
a civic crisis when the educational conven-
ton met here and did yeoman service for
Santa Fe. They asked no reward and ex-
pected hone; and they are not asking for it
now. In fact they are not asking the people
for anything now; they are offering some
thing; an entertainment worth far more
than the price of admission and a chance to
the citizens to help themselves and their
town by helping the movement for better
citizens.
Buy a ticket, two tickets, as many tickets
as you can use to the boys show. If you by
any miracle should not be ~accosted by a
Scout, look one up.

Entirely Wrong

Representative Lucero of Santa Fe coun
ty contributes to a recent issue of the New
Mexican a vigorous protest against allow
in the game protective association of New
Mexico to recommend to the governor mer
is considers desirable for the appointment
of state game warden.
Mr.. Lucero is undoubtedly sincere in his
belief that a small group or men are seek
ing to dictate the administration of a branch
of the state government. Mr.. Lucero how
ever is entirely wrong and there is no reas
on or ground for his wrong impression.
The New Mexico game protective asso
citation, which now has som 1900 mem
bers, is thoroughly representative of the
! citizens of New Mexico who take an active
and intelligent interest in conserving the
wild life. These are not the men who want
to exterminate, but who want to save it
This admits of no contradiction.
This organization has asked that the
game warden be a man familiar with the
business of game protection, personally de.
sirous of protecting it, and a man not active
in politics. This is the kind of a game war.
den. we take it, that the people of the state
want. Neither Mr.. Lucero nor anyone else
can ppose the selection of such a man.
Il The association has asked and the govern
or has readily consented, that it be allowed
merely to name, for the governors consid-
Grafton; men 1t believes desirable for tho
position and men acceptable to the organi-
cation which represents the active move.
ment for game conservation.
This Is in no sense debating" the ap-
%pointment. If the governor doesn't approve
of the associations endorsement, he is at
perfect liberty to choose another man and
has not offered to surrender the appointive
power.
So far as the New Mexican knows, the
men recommended by the association are
all competent.
Mr.. Lucero's attack upon the association
as a political movement is entirely in con-
flict with the facts in the case. Also, it is
one of the most representative organiza-
lions ever formed in the state and is fully
authorized ito speak in behalf of that part
of the population of New Mexico which is
in favor of strict regulation of hunting and
fishing, of protecting the game and fish we
have now from slaughter and. increasing
the supply.
We believe the foregoing is too well
known to the great majority of citizens to
need re-statement. 1t cannot be repeated too
~emphatically, however. for the benefit of
Mr.. Lucero and others who are apparently
not conversant with the facts and who
should be warmly supporting instead Of OPP
posing the organized movement to save and
replenish the wild life of our forests, now
in such imminent danger Of extinction.

NATURAL cussEDNEss WORKS OUT
State Wrecker: New Mexico has two
daily newspapers constantly claiming To be
reformers, moral uplifters, and all such 9th.
er things, and attempt to keep up the de.
sired regulations by constantly defaming
men not In accord with them. It is unnec-
essary to mention the fact that one of the
dailies is published In Albuquerque, and the
other In this city.
How true to their Instincts the efforts run
Is very clearly illustrated in q recent matter
of national Importance. A Boston Hnancier
named Lawson charged that certain brokers
used advance information to speculate on
the stock markets, and that the information
came from high oficial sources. Here was
an opportunity. Both these publications call
ed Lawson all the evils the law Of decency
would permit, and Indirectly lauded to the
skies the apparently more decorous oficials
who insisted that Lawson was a liar and de-
famer. These prominent officials havp been
investigating themselves and applying white
wash on every possible place, and yet they
admit that there was a leak from high on.
cial sources, and yet neither publication has
apologized for the false charges they made
against the character of Lawson, who was
sufficiently patriotic and honest to try and
put q stop to the robbery OF the common
people by official stock jobbers. What is
more to the point, the dailies will not make
any adequate amends, If any at all, because
they are expert in b~lackguardism. The
hounds that were on Lawson's trail for the
purpose Of defaming his good name will
keep on bowling their enmity in order to
cover their W mistakes, and be in strict
harmony with their Instincts and desires.
These same daiIies have repeatedly as
sailed the regulations of prominent New
Mexicans with false statements and misrep-
reservations of facts, and never yet have
been found trying to do anything but con-

moral values of both gymnastics and athlet-
les are we'll understood, but both lack com.

TENS of gymnastics are i~ndividualistic.
Their appeal Is to the desire of the individ-

narrowly ind"ividualistic. Systems of ath.

|oH, CLARENCE, HOW T%ERRIsLE!

Las Cruces Citizen: The prominent men
of this state are now catching on to the fact
that the Albuquerque Journal and the New
Mexican are untruthful and unreliable pub
locations, pursuing policies OF defamation
and destruction in order that they may reap
some advantage.
Prominent Republicans have known the
condition for a long time, but the Democrats
persisted in believing in them, because they
used them in their political campaign, both
publications repeatedly selling out the party,
and the Democrats profiting thereby.
wednesday the Democratic floor leader of
the legislative house arose to a personal
privilege question and went after the Albu-
querque Journal for one of its numerous
false statements, this one reflecting upon
the entire membership of the house, Demo.
Gratis included.
The voters of New Mexico have been re-
peatedly imposed upon by the Journal and
the Santa Fe New Mexican, as both these
publications make it a practice to defafne
every public man who refuses to accept
their dictations. They pass out slanderous
misinformation and depend upon the long
purses of the millionaire owners to protect
the directing editors and responsible writ
efs. Regulations are shattered by them with
great abandon, and no matter how bad the
mistakes they make, the victim is ruined
