 He later indulged in a long article about the aims of a newspaper. ad- hitting that his attitude was dar- Ing one. He confessed that if he fol- lowed the advices of the very few readers who approved his course. "he wonld have no hope of continuing in business"

PREPARATION FOR
HOMECOMING
A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE
SERVICE AND ITS EFFECTS
HARRISON GETS THE SECOND
REGIMENT BAND.

Deming, New Mexico. Feb. 23.-
With orders to leave for home March
2nd this is a very cheerful cam. We
have all had the physical examinations
for muster out, and are getting all
accounts in good shape so our stay at
Fort Logan II. Roots will be a short
one.
The order to be mustered out is the
best news the National Guardsmen
have heard for many a long day. Re.
alizing soon after their arrival on the
border that they were not to see act
i've service, they have been awaiting
impatiently ever since, this order
home. They came to the border to
fight and for no other reason Not
being professional soldiers, they could
not remain placidly in training, much
as they realized the beneficial results
of such training. Nor did they relish
police duty. They were willingly un-
der arms to defend their country, but
not willingly under arms for three
quarters of a year to perfect them
selves in military training.
No one could blame the guardsmen
for their attitude. They had answered
what they considered a call upon their
patriotism. They were ready TO fight,
unframed as they were, but it was a
hard strain on many guardsman to
remain drilling on the border and re-
ceive letters that his business was
going to ruin for lack of his attention,
and on many another to receive word
that his wife and children, suffering
for food, had been eviCted because
there was no money to pay the rent
AS an evidence of the spirit of the
guard, it is only necessary to say that
when the United States broke with
Germany and it appeared likely that
war might result and the national
guard be called into war service, the
grumbling stopped at once. Officers
and men were perfectly content to re
main under arms if their country need
ed them to fight Germany or to fight
any foe whatsoever Personal inter
ests were secondary to the welfare OF
the country which they stood ready
to defend
The demobolization order makes il
appear the war department does not
apprehend the necessity for troops in
a war with Germany. Either that, OF
it does not contemplate the danger OF
war. Otherwise the troops would not
be mustered out of the federal service
It would of course be possible to mus
ter out the national guard, allowing
officers and men some time, however
brief, with their families before agar
being called to the colors, but it Is
not likely the government would dc
such thing if it were believed The
guard might be needed almost imme
diately.
The border states appreciate the
service the national guard has per

CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION
LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS NEXT
WEEK, BUT COMING coNVEN-
TloN WILL MAINTAIN INTEREST
IN POLITICS.

The Legislature will adjourn sine
die at noon next Thursday.
And at once will begin the active
campaign all over the state for the
election OF delegates to the Constitu
tional convention. In fact, many as.
pirants are already announcing their
platforms and getting into the race
There will be no lack of material from
which to select the delegates who are
to write "the Constitution of 1918"
/ The important question confronting
the voters everywhere will be, "Who
is the best man to represent u.s."
) Care must be exercised to prevent
stocking the convention with too
many men of any one class. There
must be a diversity of interests and
professions, or the resultant docu-
ment may not find favor at the hands
OF the people to whom it must be sub
mitted for ratification.
/ A convention of lawyers, or cor
poratiOn attorneys, or farmers, or
business men, or school teachers would
not be desirable, but all of these
should have a chance to be repre-
sented in body of ia.
The drafting of a constitution is a
most serious proposition, deliberation
is the first requisite Every idea must
be weighed deliberately and dispas-
sionately. Ample time is given, no
time limit having been set. The con-
vention may be in session for three
months. Thousands of propositions
will probably be presented that must
be rejected as radical or unfeasible.
The present constitution will be
taken as a basis for the new There
are many provisions of the organic
law of 1894 that cannot be improved
upon. Provisions for conditions that
have come within the last forty years,
must be added to meet the needs of
an expanding industrial and CONNER
cial commonwealth.
The one thing that must be guard
ed against more than any other is
the importantly of the dreamer, the
UtOpian, the extremist and the i'm.
practicable socialist. The tendency of
the day has been toward a top-heavy
paternalism, a restrictive thou shalt
not policy, rather than a progressive
thou shalt" program. The conven
ton will have to steer its course be.
tween the ScyIla of rampant social
ism, and the Charybdis of retrogress
i've conservatism. On the rocks of
either it will go to pieces. Hence the
necessity Of choosing the wisest and
most level-headed men of each com
munity.

SPECIAL MEETING
Of FARMERS
AT THE COURT HOUSE NEXT
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7 TO DIS
cUss SOME VERY IMPORTANT
MATTERS.

At the last meeting of the Boone
County Farmers and Merchants Asso,
citation, the subject of Strawberries
was discussed. A number of members
OF this association have expressed
their willingness to plant a few acres
TO strawberries and it is hoped that a
sufficient number of acres will be
pledged before planting time to insure
carload shipments from Harrison.
AS it is getting late In the season
and from now on farmers will be busy
plowing and getting in their crops,
il was decided to send out invitations
70 a large number of our farmers and
invite them to attend a general farm
ers meeting at the court house at 80
p. M, on Wednesday, March 7th, to dis
cuss a few matters of vital interest to
everybody. Every farmer and busi-
hress man in Boone county is invited.
We would like to see this a ROUSING
meeting.
We now have ninety members but
in order that we may progress more
rapidly with our work, we must have
the cooperation of the farmers. We
want you as a member and we want
you to join now. 1t will cost you
absolutely NOTHING. You will find
our meetings helpful. Come and see
ffIe this idea of cooperation IS grow
-
Lets make this meeting on March 7
a HUMMER. We want to see the
big court room packed with farmers.
Some very important matters will
come up before this meeting. We want
YOU to join in the discussion. and de.
eide what action we want to take.
These matters mean DOLLARS to
. Boone county farmers. We urge you
TO come MR., FARMER, and if possible
bring your neighbor.

formed. The moral effect on Mexican
bandits Of bringing the national guard
to the border was great. The out
pouring Of troops convinced every fac
tion in Mexico that the United States,
for the moment, at least, meant bust
ness and had enough men under arms
to overwhelm Mexico. Raiding stopped
at once. 1t has commenced again
within the past few days, but we are
indebted to the national guard as well
as to the regulars for the fact that
raiding was stopped for a consider
able time.

of Major-General Funston made a halt
at the Deming station, where the
Fourth Separate Brigade paid honor

General Funston was in the rear car

coach in which General Funston made
frequent trips along the border and
which was his headquarters last
spring while the Scott Obregon con-
ference was in session. The old negro
servant who had been with General
Funston for several years was aboard

AS the train drew into the station
every soldier stood at attention, the
civilians barred their heads, and the
Second Arkansas Band broke into the
funeral march, "Dirge Delore" AS
the train started again on its journey

band played Star Spangled Banner"
The scene was an impressive as
we'll as touching one.
1t is not generally known, that, while
the Pershing expedition failed to cap
ture Villa, they did get a number of
his officers and men. The twenty-one
Villistas captured by the Pershing ex-
pedition and charged with participa-
ton in the Columbus raid were ar
raigned here Wednesday before United
States Commissioner b. Y. McKeyes.
E B. Stone and NJ. H. Diaz, of I'll
Paso, agents of the department of Jus
tice, were present. The prisoners, six
of whom were Villista lieutenants, all
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
murder and were bound over to the
federal grand jury in the sum of $4,000
each. In default of bond the Mexieans
were placed in custody of United
States Marshal A. II. Hudspeth.
With the muster out of the Second
Regiment the headquarters of the
Second Regiment Band will be trans
ferred to Harrison, and by reason Of

MAJOR BERNARDO.

The first and one Of the very few
times in which the British Parliament
voluntarily transferred its authority
to the King was in the remarkable
case of Major John Bernardo. who
died in Newgate Prison, London, 181
years today, Sept. 22, 1876. Bernardo,
a soldier, was arrested in 1886 and
charged with completely in plot to
assassinate King William III. Eight
persons were executed for their part
in the conspiracy, but there was little
evidence against Bernardo and five
other suspects. Rather than bring
them to trial or admit them to bail,
as the law provided, Parliament au-
for one year. At the expiration of
that period it was extended for
another year, and then for third,
when Parliament passed an act au-
thorizing an act providing for the
confinement of Bernardo and his COM
panion's during his majesty's pleas
ure." When King William died in
1902 the men again demanded a. trial,
but Parliament turned them over to
the tender mercies of Queen Anne.
When she died the prisoners were
turned over by Parliament to King
George I. When George II. reached
the throne only Bernardo and two
others were left. Bernardo was the
last survivor and he died at the age
Of 81. Bernardo was permitted to
marry in prison, and his wife gave
him ten children.
