blame. These are the ones who usu-
ally are the first victims of grip and
pneumonia, and their carelessness is
a menace to others, as well as to
themselves. For they keep up the
cultivation of the germs which spread
to Others, directly and indirectly, and
thus the menace of an epidemic is
increased. Wherefore it is important
that individual responsibility be i'm
pressed on all, not only for personal
safety but as a safeguard of the
health of communities and society in
general.

George Dauss.

George Dauss, the Detroit Tiger
pitcher, would be one of the leading
hurlers Of the American league if he
had more confidence. Dauss Is the
sort of player who is never sure of
his skill and is usually inclined to
underrate himself. As it is he won
eighteen games for, the Tigers last
season and with more confidence and
perhaps a dash of the swell-head he
might have won twenty-five.
If someone could inoculate Dauss
over night with the sort of germs
that throw out the chest and swell
the head he would startle the base
ball public with his brilliance.
George is no longer q green kid at
the game and he has been around big
league parks long enough to know
that the lad with the self ESTEEM is
the one who usually reaches the top.

Watching the Score Board

Yesterdays hero: George Dauss. He
held the Browns to three hits and the
Tigers appreciated it by Winning.
Cobb didn't have anything to do
with it except that he hit safely once,
scored a run, stole couple of bases
and had a pair of putouts.
Southpaw Danforth paused as he
uncoiled to heaye a baseball and the
Chicago chance of victory over Cleve-
land paused with him. 1t was a balk
and man on third.
iris Speaker went hitless.
Doug Baird did his best. but the
three runs he drove in for the Pirates
were not enough to defeat the Reds.
Seven hits were sufficient for five
Cincinnati runs.
Jess Tesreau got his feet tangled up
m Philly park clay. Hence the sud
den surprise of Philly fans when they
learned of the Giant defeat.

Protest

We have what we believe to be
reliable information to the effect
that a movement is on foot to
have passed by the present Leg
islature a law to cancel all taxes
and tax liens for all years prior to
1912. Such a law, if passed,
would favor the tax dodger, en-
abling him to escape his just
share of the burden of support
ing the state, county and city
governments; his just share of
the cost of schools, road, etc.
Some of the principal tax dodgers
are persons and corporations who
have owned large amounts of
land for many years. In Union
County, which was created in
1894, a conservative estimate
places the amount of taxes that
would be cancelled by such a law
at one hundred thousand dollars.
Doubtless the same would be
true as to practically all the
counties of the state, the figures
varying according to the age and
taxable area of the different
counties.
Taxpayers of New Mexico now
that the legislative session is un-
der way, it devolves on us to be-
stir ourselves if we are to pre-
vent the perpetration of a gross
injustice on our state. This is to
urgently recommend that every
taxpayer Immediately write to
the senator and representatives
from his district and protest in
the strongest possible terms a.
gainst the passage of such a law
if introduced.

County Petition

A monster petition for a new
county, on lines approved by a
very large majority of the people
of this mesa has been circulated
and very generally signed and
will be forwarded to the State
Legislature this week. Accom-
panying it is a remonstrance a.
gainst the creation of a county
which will divide the people of
this mesa into two impotent sec
tions Of two other counties and .
prevent the righteous rule Of the
majority for years to come.
This is recognized by all think
ing people as a stand of the old
regime against the new. The
history Of all other states is the
best evidence that the new will
eventually succeed and that the
old timers will profit as we'll as
the rest by the new order Of
things but it is impossible to
make the "Nestor" see it this
way and from his way Of think
ing they are fighting for their
very lives.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that
some influence will interfere to
prevent making the bad condi-
tons regarding counties which
now exist worse by creating a
new county for political purposes
and contrary to every physical
moral and ethical sentiment.

HOrnesteaders

In the developement of every
new western country there are
three infuxes- = the first, a blind
stampede of the get-rich-quick;
the second. a less hasty, but yet
unprepared and temporary immi-
grafton; the third, the fellows
who come preparedto stay.
The great immigration which
the state is now witnessing, of
homeseekers filing on 640-acre
grazing homesteads under the
new law, seems to us to be the
third and permanent influx. 1t
is a different proposition form
that reckless invasion of the fiat
broke which came into the east
ern plains and the Estancia valley.
ten or twelve years ago. These
newcomers apparently all have
enough capital to handle the pro-
position. AS result of the pub
licity which has attended the pre-
vious immigrationinto New Mex
leo and the results thereof, these
farmers and stockmenkn what
they are doing.
New Mexico may do well to
realize that the going into effect
of this new law has already had
a profound effect on the economic
and political situation in the
state.

Not that we are superstitious

ever we start it up for its hours

press system of a days press
work a week. We have a larger
subscriptions list than ever be-
fore and more friends, the recent
election went to our liking by a
large majority and we have seen
many of the political reforms we
have striven for brot about and
many more in sight.
All in all, we cant say but
Volume 13 of the Spanish-Amer-
lean has recorded far more Of
good than of ill, but we turn
gladly to VOLTA as the means
whereby we may make use of all
the experience of past years, in
connection with whatever talent
God has given US, to accomplish
more than in all the past years
of effort.
If we can boost for all that is
right, oppose all that is wrong,
assist in creating a higher plane
OF public thinking and political
morals and help persuade men
that to have higher ideals and
work and vote for them instead
of being led unthinkingly tied
behind the band wagon that
bears the name of the party
their fath' RS used to be proud to
vote for, If we can keep a true
record of the good that has been
accomplished in our community
and helpto bury Interpretations
in the sands of forgetfulness, we
shall feel rewarded for the effort
it cost us.
