sEA-DAYs

Swish of the notwithstanding and recur-
ring, i resi-
Mystical, strange. 4.
Whisper of sea-grasses, softly stirring,
Waters that simmer and CLEAN and gloom
and change
AS the strong vino pursues,
Sending the great waves scrambling up the
beach ~
AS far as the eye can reach.
The diamond spray breaks bright, here at
our feet,
But grays and dim hushed blues
Lie soft and still where sea and skylines
meet. .a.,
Peace-radiant and. complete
The Wind and Sea
Give mel \
Crash Of the tide, receding and advancing,
Gallant and grand!
How the waves leap and laugh, as they
come dancing
Near and more near, across the shining sand
Scattering glittering sprayl
The big Wind, graphing with the laughing
Sea,
Laughs too--uproariouslyi
And weitwo. listening, speak no word at all;
Can find no words to say
About the waves that climb and tower and
fall! NFh
All! something magical
In Sea and Wind
We find! .
Low sing the ripples on the wide sands
creaming- r'
The sea-birds cry.
Can heaven be more than Just to lie here
dreaming ~ HAiA
Under a far clean stretch of open sky?
No barriers seem to be-
No limits and no bounds to Love and Hope,
But overwhelming scope.
Here, in this space and freshness gray and
cool,
Wide as Eternity,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The Wind and Sea
Give mel -

STATE POLITICS
Out OF Uate

w W
Sierra Free Press-The minute a contract
Is made Tor the State graft enters into It..
II has always been so In other communities
and there 10 no reason to suppose that it
would be different here. When public mon.
les are being disbursed 1t Is as ii otherwise
honest men became at once imbued with
the idea that they ought to make something
on the side out Of the state. Favoritism Is
practiced, terms are made SO as to preclude
some firms TO compete. In short, every form
Of dishonesty comes into being and dictates
the terms. TR&& Hfa
We do not say that Mr.. Bursum want
such conditions to prevail. But the fact
that at this age and time he could advocate
the contract system as something desirable
and progressive for the state simply shows
how hopelessly MEDIEVAL out OF date and
backward his ideas and his mental process
ses are. f& 2 M WV

Las Cruces Citizen:-The republicans of
this state have now available for senatorial
timber such men as United States senator
Fall, State Senator Holt and Judge Herbert
F. Reynolds Of Bernalillo county, and all of
them good and true and easy to elect against
any man the Democrats can bring out. 1t
is admitted that the Dona Ana man is proba-
bly, the most available, particularly If the
report that Senator Fall intends to retire
is confirmed. A ticket reading Herbert B..
Holt for the United States senate and Her.

combe while they do the. same old pillaging

sey spoke truthfully and plainly and If he

judgment of all who believe in progressive
