"On the statute books Of New
Mexico is a law passed expressly to
keep Americans from voicing any
protest against the Penitente control.
This law makes it crime to speak
of write anything, true or untrue,
that tends to bring shame or ridiculc
upon the Penitente organization. The
New Mexico laws are largely based
on the old Spanish code, and in the
lower courts an accused is presumed
to be guilty till he proves his in
nocence. Americans tried by Pc
nitente jury for an offense against
the Penitentes are likely to be held
indefinitely in filthy jail kept by
a Penitenie sheriff; some have have
been so held, without tnal or atten-
ton, until they died"
"As far north as Colorado, news
papers speak Of Americans as for

in this part Of our country. New
MEXICO confidently expects to arise
and join again the mother country,
taking its place in the sun among the
children Of the sun. The native pop
ulatiOn awaits the hour to strike.

DRAWS NRATH Of STATE.
Merry Wray's slanderOus Article n
North American Review Arouses
All New Mexico


BY the ignorant malice of one
Henry Wray Of Kansas City and the
incredible eullibility Of a great ma
gazihe, the North American Review,
the state Of New Mexico has been
made the victim Of one Of the worst
ISLANDERS ever perpetrated against a
commonwealth, and one Of the most
regrettable things about it is that the
widespread circulation of the maya
zine has carried the idiotic conglo-
meratlon Of lies all over the country,
where it is sure to find a certain
percentage of believers.
The article in question, which APP
peared in last months Review, at
tracted little attention at first. and
seems to have first been spotted by
citizens at Las Cruces, where a mass
meeting was called as early as two
weeks ago and resolutions adopted
rebuking the Review and its mali
eious contributor. This has been fol-
lowd by similar occurrences at sew
eral other places in the state, and
now Governor Lindsey and Senator
Fall have both taken it up and de-
clare the magazine or author, or
both, must be punished if possible.
A telegram sent by Senator Fall to
the Review, denOuncing the libel in
no uncertain terms, appears else
where in this paper.
The article itself is so untruthful
as to be ridiculous, to one who has
spent as much as twenty-f four hours
IN New Mexico, but of course it will
find its believers and some will con
tinue to believe it, regardless of any
denial, however convincing. Omitting
lengthy references and other discus
sions of little interest to this state, |
it reads as follows:

Col. George Harvey,

Editor, III Madison Ave, N. Y
Your August issue, Review, pag,
3l2-l4 inclusive, has a letter signet
BY one Henry Wray, Kansas City
which in so far as it concerns tn,
state of New Mexico is a hetergen.
Gus, fantastic mixture of ignor.
ance, malicious and false statements
and ISLANDERS.
II have read the Review for thirty
five years and am now a subscriber
Also, knowing you | cannot believe
that You ever read this letter OF
would have permitted the publica-
ton of vile Islander upon the peo-
pie of this state. New Mexico's pop
ulation Of Spanish descent are as
loyal, patriotic Americans as your
self or your forefathers. The New
Mexicans swore allegiance to the
United States, represented by Gen
eral keamey, in lS46. Their gov
ernor and his army not being sup
ported by the people, left the
state without firing a shot. Only
fifteen years afterwards they fum-
ished more men in proportion to the
population for the defense of the
Union than did the people of any
other state or territory. They fun-
ished more than their quota to fight
people of their blood in 1898. Ask
Colonel Roosevelt about George Ar
MILO, Abel Duran, Max Buna and
others. Kit Carson is dead but re-
cords Of the War Department will
show names of soldiers in his regi-
ment as well as those of Colonel j.
Frank Chavez, and the battlefield of
Valverde, Glorietta and others are
records of our loyalty. After the
massacre of Santa Ysebel and raid
on Columbus the state offered Pres
ident Wilson ten thousand New Mex
leans of Spanish blood for the pro-
lection Of American citizens in
Mexico. Between twelve and fifteen
thousand New Mexicans are in the.
army, marine corps and navy, now
offering their lives for their coun-
try and the protection, amongst
others, of Col. George Harvey and
Mr.. Henry Wray.
"The statement as to districts
without English speaking persons is
false. As to public school teachers
not speaking English, that is false.
As to legislature and courts conduct
ed in Spanish, that is untrue. Ex-
anime the journals and acts Of legis-
lature of state and territorial and
the court records of office Of the
attorney general and supreme court
and archives Of the congressional
library. There are ten weekly papers
out of more than one hundred, pub
lished in Spanish. The story as to
the "Penitentes" a wild dream; no
truth in statement as to law attempt
ing to protect; New Mexico statutes
founded on those of Missouri. Original
code written by Willard Hall, of Mis-
souri,. Up until 1897 common laws
even in pleadings followed in all its
purity code adapted from New York,
Missouri and California.

Take a map of the United States.
Place your finger on the border of
New Mexico and Mexico anywhere
between FL Paso and Columbus.
Move the finger nortlward to the Rio
Grande; follow the RIO Grande

Colorado and eastward to Pueblo.
You have pointed a route along which
an invading army could pass unhind-
cred, unresisted and not unwelcomed.
Over nearly the entire route the
enemy would be acclaimed, fed,
quartered, equipped and recruited If
of any strength, the invaders could
pass deep into the heart Of the
United States"
'New Mexico has a citizenship
that is largely Of Mexican origin.
The people remain today practically
as they were when the territory was
annexed, The state has remained
Mexican in every sense of the word
One may travel a hundred miles, pass
through town after town, and be un-
able to converse in any language
save Spanish. There are whole
districts without any English-speak-
ing persons, where the school boards
and school teachers are unable to
read, write or speak English. The
legislature is conducted in Spanish.
The courts, state and federal, are
conducted in Spanish. A foreign
language is one Of the most potent
aids to the success Of a conspiracy.
BY retaining Spanish as the language
of the courts, schools, public gather

Mexican population of New Mexico
keeps itself Mexican. And it looks
forward to the day when New Mex

as state Of Mexico"
"There is, in the state of New
Mexico, a. powerful political secret
organization that it known as the
Penitentes, but which, within its
windowless, cOuntersign- entered Mo-
radas, gives itself another name. The
main object of this organization is to
peep the state Loyalty Mexican, and
success has hitherto crowned its eff
forts.
"The Penitentes are strange sect,
practising weird religious rites, self
fortunes, political expressions and
the elimination of enemies. The de-
serts are dotted with their calvary
crosses at which human crucifixions
are annually carried out, despite the
efforts of the government to prevent
them. The Penitentes are secretive,
and win stone any unfortunate
American passer-by who chances to
witnesses one of their devotional
marches. Americans who learn too
much and become talkatiye are found
on the highways, their hearts decor
ated with neat perforatiOns. It is
whispered that no one can talk
against the conditions Of New Mex

obey the mandates of the Penitentes,

WOMEN TORTURED.



Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, says .

Corns can easily be lifted ont with
the fingers if You win get from any

drug called freezone. This is sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn or
eallus from ones feet. You simply
apply . few drops directly upon the
tender, aching corn or callus. The
sorness is relieved at once and soon
the entire corn or callus, root and all,
lifts out without one particle Of pain.

Three days remain for the people OF
Morgan City to secure cards for the pur

Der. At clock on September 80, Mon
day, the issuing of cards from the OF
fee of The Review will cease. Those who

to purchase sugar during the following
thirty -one days. Dealers under no ci
cumstances will be permitted to make
sales to anyone who does not hold
card properly made out and signed by
the deputy administrator.
It is estimated that about twenty five
per cent Of the consumers of this city
have applied for their cards and the adj
ministrator urges all others who obtain
their sugar supply in Morgan City to call
at his office at The Review at the earliest
possible moment and thus avoid disap-

neglected.
The administrator advises that cards
may be obtained by children, but none
will be issued to them unless they hold a
written order from their parents author

The administrator also stated that it

also applies to them-two pounds, per

LOOK UP THOSE
UNUSED GARMENTS

Unless millions of American
boys and girls dig out clothing
they no longer need and turn it
over to the Red Cross during
this week, millions Of boys and
girls in those parts of Belgium
and France still behind the Ger
man line are going to be cold
this winter. Every American
youngster who wants t help
keep these millions of unfortu-
nate children warm should see
to it that the things he is
through wearing get to the Red
Cross collections stations that
week. He should see to it that
all the boys and girls of his ac-
quaintance do their duty in this
respect.
The children in the occupied
countries need about everything
in the list of wearing apparel.
Counting grownups there are
10, 100000 people in dire need of
clothing. Many of them have
scarcely enough to cover them
selves. The Red Cross hopes,
to gather at least 5000 tons of
clothing that week, and amount
equal to that collected in the
clothing drive last March.
All donations from Morgan
City will be received at the home
of Mrs. John r. Drackett, local
chairman of the campaign.

AS HAVE OTHER HUN THINGS
Man compIaIns That His German
Made Clock Has Completely Gone
to the Bad.

My old alarm clock has gone to
smash. That may not be a news item
nor 1t may not interest you. but up at
our home the fact that the alarm clock
wouldn't 60 any more was an event Of
interest. . It was ticking away on the
shelf at a quarter to II the night Of
July II. I took it up to wind it. One
twist, and-rattletebank.s iss boom ali.
Something went all to pieces in the
works.
More twists, shaking. putting the
clock to ear and final determination
that It was done for. I thought to
look 1t over before depositing It in the
ash can. On the back was scratched
the month and day Of the purchase In
1912. I was looking on the face for
the last time and studying It closely.
Then down at the bottom I saw in
small letters: 'Made in Germany"
There it had been ticking away on the
shelf year after year, sounding its
alarm regularly, and yet never before
had ] noticed that detested inscription.
Probably if had it would have gone
into the ash can long before.
Just like q lot Of other "Made in
Germany" things that we didn't know
were around until we found them out.

the works have gone to smash, it has
sounded it's last alarm, and as l medi-
