MARCH NINTH. NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTEEN

One year has passed since the awful morning of March 9th.
1916. Memories of the raid are as clear, perhaps clearer, today
than the days Immediately following. II will always be so with
those who saw their loved ones slain. Today there are many who
still critcse Colonel Slocum. Consider what possibly would have
happened 4 il had not been for Colonel Slocuml The Thirteenth
Cavalry, with possibly the exception Of one troop. would have been
in Deming, thirty-hve miles away.
The criticism of the commander by Columbus people caused
a ridgid investigation by the war department, and he was ad,
Judged not guilty Of negligence. The Courier has clippings from
newspapers published one. two and three days before the raid
The commander at FL Paso had ordered the troops stationed West
to keep a close lookout for the bandit chief. Colonel Slocum was
obeying this order and had his men out on the line.
Where the criticism came in, the Colonel failed to make any
preparations after he had been told by Mr.. Riggs that his in
formation was to the effect that Villa was coming toward Column
bus, Colonel Socum was the only man ever criticised in any way,
and he had obeyed the orders Of his superiors, and having patrols
on the border. as he had placed two days befOe. Il did not seem
possible to him that the bandits could cross into the United States
without being discovered by the patrols.
The Courier is glad the investigation ended as il did, and
we believe that most of the citizens of Columbus feel the same way
about it Some other commander might have done different but
Colonel Slocum has reasons to believe that he did his duty and
when we consider the matter without prejudice we think he did
his duty, as a soldier and officer.
Now on this day while honoring the memory Of the slain
lets Danish all prejudice and animosity. and remember that
Colonel Slocum is only human. Having heard so many false re-
ports It is not much wonder that he would finally become so
to them that he would disregard one.

COLUMBUS Is WELL PROTECTED

II you are an alarmist or a person given to the spreading of
rumors which are neither justified by facts nor by conditions now
existing Il will be well for you to read these lines and in the future
to make your statements only when such statements are founded
on irrefutable and undeniable evidence; evidence you can present
to the civil, population (which has = right to know and to the
military, who must know.
We have in and around Columbus a composite defensive
force made up of units of the Signal Corps. the Cavalry and Infan.
with almost any Mexican or bandit force likely to be brought
against this point. We use the clause, "if properly distributed"
in the above, and now a question?
Are you a lop-brained person who would have us believe
that these troops are not properly placed or that necessary pre-
cautions to guard against surprise attacks have not been made &?
II you are such a person your mind is warped and badly in need of
a tonic to alleviate such condition.
The flights made daily by the aeroplanes (Signal Corps) are
not merely for the purpose of giving their pilots an airing; think
what they are sent up for and you will get the first dose of the
necessary brain tonic TO prevent warping Of the interior structure
OF your Uranium. The cavalry, whose patrols are constantly en-
crchng the town while you sleep, is not merely out to observe the
effect OF the moon beams on the Tres Hermanas; they are out I'M
der the orders Of their very competent commanding officer and
his subordinates and their orders cover a sphere Of action sufficient
to protect the town, camp and entire community. The 18th has a
work to do and Is doing I in a way one is accustomed to see the
regulars perform. Our very good friends of the oath Infantry and
the LIST New Mexico Infantry are on both sides of US and as always
are ever vignant an unceasing in their guard and outpost duties
Even as you and sleep the men forming the military units at
this point are guarding us from harm and every precaution essen
out as directed by the commanding officer, Colonel F. Sickel SET
your alarm for one of the wee small hours of some morning and
II you don't find conditions as we state the drinks are on US.

We now know much about pre-

these things should be given the
children in the schools. I re-
member years ago when a letter
received from the yellow fever
zone was punctured and fumi-
gated before II was read. We
know now that only a certain
kind of mosquito transmits yell
low fever and by screening our
homes and otherwise protecting
ourselves from mosquitoes. we
may protect ourselves not only
from yellow fever but from ma
laria also"
Again Mr.. Wright said: I'VE
are truly grateful that the time
has come when every child in
the land is not expected TO have
whooping cough or measles. We
are glad also that the ignorance.
of the means Of preventing dis
eases which have been filling our

minded schools and our child re-
formatories is being dspelled.
The light of disease prevention
and health conservation that Is
so rapidly coming to us should as
rapidly be given to our children

THE BOARD or EDUCATION.

The Columbus board Of education has done good work dur
ing the past two years. They have served without pay and have
devoted as much of their time to the duties of the offices a was
necessary. II takes a public spirited person to do this. II IL
possible that in choosing successors TO Mr.. Ballenger and Mrs
Peters the new members will not devote their time and attention
to the job as have they. There is perfect harmony among the
members Of the board, and it's a cinch we can't get better mem
bers than the retiring ones-possibly not as good-so why not
re-elect them? And make their election unanimous.

 There would be some cost for seeds and some for fertilizers and tools, but
 after the first year the cost of these
 last two items would be comparative ly little. The proceeds would repre-
 sent profits to a greater extent than in any other kind of production. The miracle of it is in bringing together idle land on the one hand and idle and tired people on the other. Alone, neither is productive, but all would be benefited by the combina- ton even if the vegetables and fruits produced had no value; the land by the cultivation, the children by the health-giving, educational labor, and the older people by the hours out doors and the contact with the soil"

PAYS DEATH PENALTY
 FOR QUITTING MEXICO (E-n .II- n-.I..
(From Fridays Dsily.)

Arrivals at San Diego in sailing vessel from the Gulf of California, give mcagcr reports of the killing of Thomas Vclasqucz, a naturalized Mexican, during the middle of Janu- ary near Tcpoca, Sonora. The crime was committcs by Ceres Indians, but Is supposed to have been inspired by McXicans on the ground that Velas- qucz was traitor to his country in becoming an American.
 The dead man was piloting a party of Americans along the gulf coast, and mining was the mission, that par tlcular country coming into desirable rating recently for its placer wealth. Velasquez was for many years a resi- dent of this county, and had a wood pack train running in the Bradshaw was the statement made in San Diego by a mining man who formerly operated in the Bradshaws.

The police investigation revealed: That Frau Kupfer had taken in be- twen two and half and three million marks, most of it recently: that her daughter, nominally the head of the company, probably knew little about the whole matter; that many credit ors had drawn out all they had ever put in and much moro by way of in terest, but at the expense of many others who had poured thousands in to Frau Kupfer's lap: that of the money taken in, she had spent, for her entertainments and their food and wine, for her own living expenses and those of her daughter, including luxu- rious clothes, and for interest" on in vestments, all but about 8OO,OOO marks of what she had taken in.
 She had purchased villa, she had, peculiarly enough, founded genuine business in central German city, she had even invested in German war loans-and forgotten about it and failed 10 call for the bonds.

IMPORTANT MOVE AUTHORIZED IN
 ROAD WORK
L E c 1 s L A T URE ORDERS THE STATE ENGINEER TO
 CONSTRUCT H G H WAY TO THE SOUTH OF PRES corr TO COUNTY LINE.
(From Sundays Daily)

Returning Yavapai members of the legislature state that by road legisla- ton enacted and now in force, it is provided that the State engineer shall apply all moneys derived by taxation from Yavapai toward extending the State highway south of Prescott.
 All other sections of this county, by the bill passed, are to be elimin- atcd, and construction IS to be devot- ed solely to the link on the north and south line. This action will probably be received with feeling of gratifica- ton in a large mining community af- fcctcd lying to the south of the Has sayampa range The highway is con structed and in use as far as Senator summit, IA miles south of Prescott, the line to Phoenix as surveyed being o5 miles.
 The route of the highway taps prac- tically all of Turkey creek, the west ern slope of the .Bradshaws, Minnc- haha Flat, Humbug creek, and gives an outlet to very desirable gold re- zion surrounding Columbia in Tiptop district Castle Hot Springs also will be within l1I miles of the main artery. From an industrial standpoint re- zion embracing nearly l50 miles square now isolated and without any road communication whatever, will tor the first time be given a road out let The Columbia field, from min ing standpoint. will receive the great est benefit. French creek territory in Tiptop district and the Silver Mountain region, will be also matcri- ally benefited.
 The survey of this commonly known north and south highway, was originally made by James B. Girand, as territorial engineer. but since Ari- zona was admitted to Statehood five years ago, not dollar has been ap- piled toward construction, although the Scenic Route of Arizona" is the term which has generally been applied to it. Mir. Grand started the work out of Prescott with the intention of building as fast as funds would per init, to Phoenix. When he retired from office the work stopped.

MRS. BAKER IS
 CHAUTAUQUA ADVOCATE
(From Saturdays Daiiy.)

"The first appeal of the Chautauqua is to our desire for amusement. Its educational values arc sugar-coated." |"
 Mrs. w. D. Baker made a whole hearted advocate of the Chautauqua at yesterdays session of the Lunch con Club, and convinced her large audience that this institution, which furnished the special topic of the day, was not only valuable amusement, but the incubator of many beneficial cultural traits in the people of cities and towns isolated from the centers of high class amusemcnts and instruc- ton.
 Barriers arc broken down, the country and the city, the young and old are brought closer together. Men, who oversee the financial arrange mcnts of Chautauquas arc brought in- to closer touch; women arc afforded a means of acquiring ideas and ideals they cannot get in another way, chill dren are cared for with healthy and happy amusemcnts, and kept safe from wrongful influences
 The Chautauqua brings co-opera- ton between men and women of semi-public life, and co-ordinates their work The woman's club and the chamber of commerce combine to work for the same end, and their re- lationship is beneficial.
 Mrs. II. T. Southworth, the other woman member of the program, com pared the Chautauqua to the expert potter, helping to mold the clay of growing humanity, in lines of beauty and usefulness. Her talk started out to be highly humorous, and after having "sugar-coatcd" her lesson, she administered it.
 Chairman Frank Whisman intro duccd by F. O. Smith, head of the club, announced some of the num- bers 10 be enjoyed during the coming Chautauqua on May l2 His state ment that Little Women" produced by William Kcithly, who was here last year, would be one of the chief numbers, called forth enthusiastic applause The light opera "Pinafore" will be presented by competent cast.
 There will be many other valuable features, he said. These include many others, Governor Pat terson of Tennessee. group of Ha- waiian singers, players and dancers. lecturers, clocutionists, humorists and other excellent entertainers.
 The dining room of the Yavapai Club was filled, and overflow tables had to be set alongside the main tables. There was good attendance of women. To future 1unchcons, it was announced, the women would all <! ways be welcome.
