THE SPIDER AND THE FLY

Rameses the third, or some other Egyptian gentlemen wrote the follow ing obituary, or maybe it was Billy Sunday, at any rate here it is: "A thin and slender Webb the spider
 weaves,
 Which small and bald insects it de
 ceives,
 And if it should catch bug or com
 mon Fly,
 They, with a groan and murmur
 slowly die"
 Editor" Pottinger goes off half cooked and says we are "nutty" be- cause we know little more than he does about advertising, and sell ad- vertising for more than it costs at the same price to everybody. He should cultivate reason and truth occasion ally. He appeals more the the waste basket than to reason. One cannot ap- peal to reason with a stomache pie thoric with bile, or with the vicious ness of bull. Just because Mir. Pot tinger has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that Shakespeare was a two spot compared to himself, is no reason why he should admit that We "got his goat" so easily.

CATTLE PRICE FIXING

Texas cattle raisers told MT. Hoov. CT, the federal food price controller the other day, of the impossibility of fixing catle prices. Common steers I are now selling around or below $S while choice bullocks are worth s13.- 75. Between the two quotations, sales are made daily at variouh prices, and if the list is made to emprase, canners and cheap cows, the spread is even wider.
 No possible method of fixing cattle prices could be devised and none will be attempted. Growers may be .assur- ed of that fact. When experienced buyers, bent on getting the last dollar for their employers, bid 25c per cwt, or more, apart, the absurdity of grad ing and pricing arbitrary will be ap- preciated.

WONDERFUL HOW THE
 TRUTH HURTS

It is amusing how a little sunlight of truth directed on benighted nut will bring forth such a volume of vituperation and petty spleen. While Mir. Webb didn't happen to write the small squib which called a council of war and the boyish tirade in such a personal matter, devoid of ethics and decency, it is evident that Webb's knowledge of the business has been an exceedingly sore point.
 The only regret is that in pointing out the low down price the Leader would accept, we evidently showed the stockholders or some of them the reason they haze been called upon to pungle up or sign more notes from time to time.
 Just again for the edifcation of the main stockholders we wish to point out the wonderful method by which our steamed temporary figures on space. Space is evidently of no value in the Leader--5 cents per inch per insertion is their price and probably different prices to others, but because they sting the city-about the same amount by stringing it over eight weeks instead of three, .should tickle not only stockholders but the people as well, nearly to death.
 Printing five times more than The Sun, does not cost them any more except for ink, paper, press work and other incidentals. Such magnificent financereing is appalling to stockholders.
 So far as being peeved is concerned, we believe the city council would have been very poor business men if they had not soaked the Leader with the job, under the circumstances.
 Strange that while the "boss" seems satisfied with MT. Webb, the corporation paper aims their petty spite at him. There is apparently a very good business reason for their puny peeve.

JAPAN, RUSSIA AND THE WAR

The ever-changing panorama of the war has brought into view one of its strangest possibilities in the report that Japan is prepared to take drastic action if the forces of anarchy in Russia bring about separate peace. The vicissitudes of international polit- ics never produced a more singular record in the relations of two first class Powers. A dozen years ago Japan and Russia were at war over irreconcilable ambitions In this con- fiict they have fought on the same side, and last July the governments of Mikado and czar formed definite alliance. And now Japan finds it nec- essary to safeguard herself against a defection which would be as danger ous to her as to the other Entente na- tions.
 The move--which official denials by no means discredit- constitutes one of the most interesting complications of the world war. And it is of obvious concern to the United States Jap anese warships are already operating in European waters; Japanese troops may yet bt fighting side by side with Americans, and Japanese diplomats will occupy high seats at the council of nations which will reorganize the affairs of the world.
 Circumstances are now vastly differ ent. The United States is a parti- cipant in the war, with full respons-

Utilities and full right to consider ation. It must not only help, it must carry most of the burden of the war against autocracy. This country has definite and commanding status in world affairs, and no move by Japan or any other member of the alliance will be taken without our consent and safeguarding of our interets.
 If events necessitate full participa- ton in the conflict by Japan, that ac- tion, which formerly would have been a menace to the United States, will be considered in this country an advant- age, calculated not only to hasten world peace, but to make easier an amicable settlement of the issues which have threatentd to embroil the two countries.

Important Word For
GAO Acre HOmesteaders

Word Of much interest to $40 acre
homestead applicants in this section
was received in a Washington dis
patch Saturday announcing that the
senate committee on public lands, had
reported for passage, the bill of SEN
ator A. A. Jones, authorizing the sec
rotary Of the interior to designate
lands in New Mexico, Arizona, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, North and South Da-
kota and Nevada, for entry under the
640-acre ~stockraising homestead law.
This bill will be Of immense benefit
to New Mexico If passed, where thou
sands of entries have been made by
homesteaders. Congressman W. b.
Walton has introduced a similar meas
ure in the house and it is the inten-
ton of both Senator Jones and Con-
gresham Walton to secure the enact
ment of the measure at the special
session, if possible, and if %unsuccess-
full, then to have it passed at the reg
ular session of congress which opens
in December.

FALL TERN OF COURT

The fall term of the district court
for Grant county got down to bust
ness Tuesday, with the empaneling of
the petit jury, the arrangement of the
prisoners under indictment and the
calling of the criminal docket at which
time the cases to be disposed of at
this term will be set down for trial.
The prospect is that no less than
six murder trials will be heard at the
present session. These will include
the East of the State VS.. Earl CLANCY,
Dude CLANCY and Leon Jackson, con-
tinued from the last term, the de-
PENDANTS being charged with murder
growing out of the fatal shooting af-
fray near Hachita a year ago between
Frank Stedham and w. H. CLANCY, in
which both the principals were killed;
and the caes against Julian Aguilar,
Donaciano Martinez, George w. Ca
vender, Jose Franco and Oscar Rain
vile, all indicted by the grand jury
last week, on charges of murder.
In addition, the grand jury re-
turned a large number of indictments
against persons charged with felonies
and the majority of these latter cases
will be tried during the present term.
An innovation is to be tried out at
this term of court. 1t is what is known
as the double jury, provided for by
the 1917 state legislature. Under this
system, there will be two petit juries
empaneled and while one is out de-
~liberating on a verdict, the other jury
will take up the next case, thus saw
ing much time and expediting the
trial of cases. In addition there will
be ~ jurors held in reserve, making
36 instead of "a jurors subject to call
during the term.
