They have knitted and sen out
fifty-six sweaters, thirty-five pairs OF
socks and nine pairs of wristlets.
They have on hand five sweaters.
eleven scarfs and ten pairs of wrist

Plans are under way for extensive
organization work throughout inc

Recently Mr.. and Mrs. E. s. Bar

work and are attending to their
knitting with great enthusiasm

HARMONY

In the summe Of 1916, in the coun-
ty of Santa Fe, there developed in
the Republican ranks some differ
enees which appeared to be beyond
reconciliation. The differences were
not reconciled, and there was a most
serious split in the party. Some of
the party leaders became identifis d
with an insurgent movement and an
was that the entire Republican ticket
was defe ated, with the exception of
John v. Conway, candidate for super
intendent of schools. Among those
defeated were included our candi.
dates for the legislature. The lead
ers of the insurgent element de-
clared that they did not oppose the
Republican state ticket. The vote
would seem to prove the truth of
their statement; and yet it is beyond
argument that If no split had &C.
cure d, the candidates on the Repub-
lican state ticket would have re.
ceived a heavier vote. The failure
to present a solid front to the enemy
always erves to encourage the
enemy.
ne icaocTt OF Ootn wings, ana
leaders from other districts, all re.
allied that they were striving for one
goal, and that to remain with forces
divided simply would help the DEM
oerats to register another victory,
or another partial victory at least.
An earnest discussion of the facts
showed that it would be possible for
the two wings to settle all differ
ences and to get togt Their. The re-
organization of the two committees
has been effected, and will be known
as the Santa Fe County Republican
Central Committee. with Thomas B.
C%atron, chairman, Marc, limo A.
treasurer, George w. Armijo,
secretary. The other members of

counties Of San Eaan, Rio Arriba
and Santa Fe. He earnestly s~olicits
the assistance Of every loyal and
patriotic citizen in the forthcoming
drive. II is Americas safety that Is

Another Kind OF Stacker

A report has reached the mayor
and trustees of the village of Spring
er that there was certain parties in
the city that were taking and using
water from other peoples hydrants.
There is an ordinance imposing a
stiff penalty for parties taking water
without paying for same. and also
for the parties letting others take
water from their hydrants. The
marshal will be instructed to enforce
this ordinance and arrest anybody
who violates the same. The village
can furnish you with water at a
small cost and it will be cheaper to
buy water than to be arrested and
pay the fine which the ordinance
provides for. Do not be a water
slacker,-Springer Times.

To Resume National Advertising

To Resume National Advertising
At a meeting of the advertising
committee Of the Chamber of Com
merce held Wednesday afternoon it
was decided to resume the advertise
ing in the Literary Digest for the
months of February, March and
April. This advertising had been
discontinued for some months and
the effect was SO noticeable that it
was considered advisable to resume
it. Winter resort advertising should
be especially appealing at this time
to people in the zero in the
east, which includes practically every
thing east of the Mississippi river.

more worthy of the patronage that has everywhere been accorded
this most excellent comedy. The Denver newspapers during the
engagement there were unanimous in their unshnted praise, and the
numerous personal requests caused a return engagement, a never
beforeLheard-of event in Denver.

papers during the entire summer of 1916 were also unanimous. This

FRIDAY JANUARY Is, 1913

terday, Senator Kirby, also a mem.
Der Of the Military Committee, made
RI ply in defense of the Administra'
ton and the War Department. He
denied Chairman Chamberlain de.
c~laration that the investigation had
proved the War Department to be
Inefficient. The Senate then ad-
journed, in order to shut off further
debate.
AMERICA FIRST
Senator Chamberlain is an able
man, and has been one of the
staunohest and most consistent sup
porters of the Administration. And
in his present campaign for greater
effectiveness, he is standing, not so
much against the Administration, as
for America. He believes that a pa
%triotic citizen owes his first duty to
his flag and his country, rather than
to the Administration, or to a party
organization or to the President as
the tiular head of he Democratic
party. The party-loyal defenders of
the Administration will raise a great
hue and cry; they will bend all their
energies toward proving that the Ad-
ministration and the War Depart
ment have been right in every par
%ticuIar in everything that has been
undertaken or accomplished, The
main object will be to put on the
whitewash, and to put it on in coats
as thick as may be necessary to con-
cal the facts from the American
public.
LOAD TOO HEAVY
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that
the President has chosen to sink or
swim with Secretary Baker. In the
end, it will prove to be unfortunate
for Mr.. Wilson, bu! that 10 Of little
moment. The success or failure of
Mr.. Wilson is of SO little
consequence as to merit no
consideration, by comparison with
the calamity which may befall Amer
lea and her gallant Allies. Secretary
Baker is not competent and the peo-
pie have no faith in him. Under
these circumstances, it would be a
suicidal policy to retain him, even
though he had twice or three times
the initiative and executive ability
that he has shown. The load is too
heavy for the President to tow
through the turbulent waters; the
two never will reach the shore.
