Patriotism is one thing, and polit-
ical patriotism is another. Political
patriotism as evidenced in the late
session Of tn legislature by Level
'yn ct al VS.. Senator Reinburg as
defendant for the state of New
Mexico, is a most atrocious form Of
political rapine and plunder. To
Senators Barth, kaseman and Clerk
with the ccuf ageous Reinburg lead
ing, the state was saved from be-
coming the Jack pot" of a most
nefarious political plot. The Barths
and Reinburgs were not thick in the
lower house, but fortunately had
control in the senate, and gave the
state a business result that enables
citizens to admit their citizenship
proudly in this state as they could
not have done If the Llewellyn ct al

A VOLUNTEER CENSORSHIP
BY THE NEWSPAPERS

The announcement in dispatches
from Europe Of the arrival there,
somc days before, of d number Of
American dcstroyers, to operate with
the allied navies, came as sur
prise TO the nation, although many
were expecting some such move, and
the best part OF il is that the move
ment was kept secret because of
the volunteer" censorships of the
newspapers. by themselves, showing
the fooiishness of any drastic law
to control them in anything of vital
Importance to the country or to any
citizen of it.
A large number of public men,
who would be unknown and un-
thought of if not for the generosity
of newspapers are always trying to
discredit the power which has made
them great, and the newspapers
stand for it. When a public man
shoots his mouth off too much and
what he says does not look in print
as he would like to have it look
in some parts of the country, he
declares the reporter a liar, and the
newspapers stand for that method
of "savipg his face" If a public
man wants to become known out
side of the sound of his own voice,
he rushes to the newspaper man
urges that he be inflicted upon the
people, and the newspapers stand for
that. without pay When public
man wants his countrymen inform
ed of his greatness, or supposed
greatness, he seeks the aid of the
and feels offended il
they do not give out stuff flattering
to his soul. for which he does not
pay, and the newspapers stand for
that In fact, the newspapers of
this country are good natured, and
put up with a great deal, they do not
do it in ignorance, because the aver
age newspaper man has the public
men he meets sized up more ac-
than even his political as
sociates, and when they get by with
their high and mighty" stuff it is
because the newspapers are
good natured, and full of the milk
of human kindness. When a public
man gets too rough in his methods,
and is called down. he Immediately
becomes the enemy of the news
papers. and tries hard to inflict all
kinds of undeserved punishment up
on them, like the proposed legis-
|ation in the war measure. But the
newspapers will not stand for il al
ways, for after ali there is something
nearly human about them, and the
public man who figures that they
are altogether ETHEREAL will be left.

Dlc MINING PROPERTIES
ARE BEING DEVELOPED

The purchasers OF the Jones and
Winters groups of mining claims, in
the eastern part of Santa Fe coun-
ty are pushing development work
as fast as men can do it, driving
three shifts in the tunnel and in ore
every foot of the way.
Rails. cars. blacksmith outfit and
considerable other mining equip
ment has been received at the sta
tion on the Santa Fe and is being
transported to the property. An air
compressor is also being put in to
keep the workings clear of smoke.
1t was intended to install an air
compressor and drills, but it was
found that the hand work made such
satisfactory progress that they could
well afford to wait for the air drill
plant until wagon road was con-
structed. Fifty feet of tunnel has
been driven since the new owners
took charge of the property. This

What's Coming Now?

Evidently in response to call for
help, number of state newspapers,
politically supported for political
purposes, are demanding that the
newspapers and everybody in gem
eral, support the New Mexican, a
Santa Fe publication, in its attacks
upon someone.
The New Mexican has been at
tacking number of persons during
the past few years, and just what
this new effort to get support in
something evidently desperate
means, excited curiosity.
During the last campaign the New
Mexican attacked a citizen of So
corro county, accused him of desc
Grating the flag and supporting Bur-
sum for governor. The Socorro
county man admitted he was sup
porting Bursum, and was proud Of
it, but he denied the other charge
and went after the New Mexican in
the courts, getting a verdict of
thirty thousand dollars before a Va
lencia county jury.
To those watching the struggle
from a distance it looked as though
the presiding judge of that district
was trying hard to give the New
Mexican fair trial, changing the
venue, at the New Nexican's re-
quest, to Valencia. But during the
trial the representatives of the New
Mexican made sensational charges
against the attorney for the Socorro
county man, alleging he made signs
to the main witness. This charge
caused the state bar association to
take up the matter and an investiga-
ion developed the fact that the
judge, jury, sheriff, bailiffs and
everyone else in the courtroom
watching the trial agreed that the
attorney for the plaintiff did moth
ing of the kind.
In the meantime the New Mex
lean tried the entire case in its CO.
lumns and became so ugly towards
the trial judge that members of the
bar called his attention to the pub
locations and a committee of three,
two being prominent men, political
ly, opposed to the presiding Judge,
unanimously insisted that the ar
ticles were plainly contempt for the
court. and probably for the entire
judiciary.
And now comes this howl for help,
which probably gives warning of an
other outbreak against some promi-
nent men of the state, who will pro-
badly be accused OF having, in some
manner, contributed to the dis
comfort of our more or less esteem
ed contemporary over in the Capital

After sending out all the Chautau-

company landed two great stars of

two noted artists. Mr.. Duffy is said
to be one of the greatest tenors of

the parts of Ralph Rackstraw and
Dick Deadeye, respectively, in the
performance of Pinafore.
The appearance of these two men
in Santa Fe performances will be an
unexpected treat to all music lovers.

work on the Winters group being,
as yet, confined to prospecting
When the new owners began work
on the property they directed it in
a direction to the right of the line
of the old tunnel, and they have
cut into 4 new ore, apparently zinc
silver. leaving the high-grade copper
to the left. This opens up new pos
sibilities for the property.
The new owners are having some
experiences with the peculiar kind
of labor most conveniently avail
able in this section, and are doing
considerable thinking. They pay
big wages and have more trouble
with the men who never work lick
when they can avoid it than their
share, with the result that finally
men will be brought in who know
how to work and willing to make q
try to earn there wages. They have
already secured number of good

We do not entirely agree with
those who insist that the New Mex
ican is edited entirely by gentlemen
|of narrow minds and withered in
tellects, and on the contrary believe
that the men responsible for the
foolish, vicious and oftentimes child
ish. vaporings of the Ancient Al
manac at the state capital are work
ing a smooth game, and making it
stick.
Some time ago a Socorro county
gentleman named Dreyfus. or some
thing like that, sued the New Mex
ican for libel, and at the trial Sc
cured a verdict for thirty thousand
dollars. The New Mexican worked
in a spectacular announcement,
charging the opposing attorney with
making signs to witnesses, and a lot
of other things, and also went to
the length of arranging the evidence
to suit its own ideas and making
comment thereon. The New Mex
ican seemed possessed of the idea
that all its earthly troubles were
caused by one H. o. Bursum. who is
one of the men who has always re-
fused to submit to the dictation of
the tin horn politicians paying for
the publication of the New Mex
ican, and So connected his name
with that of the trial Judge. while
the cause was still pending. as to
make clear case of contempt of
court. The trial judge seems to have
gone about the matter with a very
mind, because he appoint
ed three members of the bar to in
vestigate the entire matter and re-
nort TO the court. Two members of
that committee are very prominent
Democratic attorneys, while no one

seems to know the politics of the
third man, which completely re-
moves any suspicion of politics be.
ing behind the move. This commit
tee made a positive report to the
court which compelled action being
taken against the New Mexican,
Bronson M. Cutting, who pays all its
losses, and an editor or two. who
now stand some chance of atoning
tor their contempt in some Jail.
And then again the New Mexican
seems to place all its troubles on
the same gentleman, H. o. Bursum,
and it comes out in a furious article
declaring itself to have laid down
its malice during the war and only
wanting to harmonize with all the
rascals until peace was restored, and
threatens to renew its attacks upon
prominent Republicans il any more
things happen to it.
This might look like foolishness
to the average reader, but il is not.
The gentleman who has been em-
ploying editorial writer's and repor-
torial assistance for them stands to
pay out thirty thousand dollars and
a large sum in costs, and besides
that he now faces a possible Jail
sentence, and all because these same
expensive employees Of his have
carried their game of working him
too far and brought serious trouble
upon him. This last outburst is to
impress him with the wickedncss Of
the men who oppose the New Mex
ican, and to induce him to conti-
nue. them in soft jobs, and it may
work again, because it has always
worked in the past.
The New Mexican has been incon-
sistent, vicious and shortsighted in
all its policies. 1t has no following,
and is not a newspaper, simply a
personal organ of spiteful utter
ances supported by a column of
jokes, by . joke, and it is a matter
Of regret to many that a man who is
far above the average in intelligence
undoubtedly has the best OF mo-
tives, and in all other things seems
rational, should have fallen into the
hands of political and financial
schemers who have caused him only
financial loss and kept him from
taking a high place among his peo-
pie, for which he seems to be fitted
by ability and education.-Las Cru
