WHAT CAPT. +. S. SNYDER
REALLY SAID.

The Clayton Citizen seems to have
a mania for misquoting what the
other fellow really said. They
have persisted in slandering Capt.
T. S. Snyder by telling their readers
almost every week that Capt. Sny-
der <aid in one of his speeches to
the boys as they were leaving Clay
ton for the training camp. Cow
ards get killed in battle While the
brave survive the brunt" Now
it happens that upon this particular
occasion yours truly was present,
and Capt. Snyder and several others
addressed the boys as they were
about to leave. Mr.. Snyder urged
the boys never to lose their nerve,
and if the time should come when
it would be necessary for them to
engage in actual war TO stick to their
posts for the man who lost his nerve
in battle was more apt to be killed
than the man who stood his ground
and fought to the very last. 1t is
unjust to persist in criticising a man
for remarks like this when his in
tentions were the very best. Mr..
Snyder is a man of years, his hair is
white with the frost of many win
ters; but not once has he ever shirk-
ed his duty as a citizen. When the
Civil War broke out in the COS, T.
S. Snyder, then a boy, was among
the first TO volunteer and take up
arms in defense of His native land.
We do not care TO give time and
space to the many foolish express
sions of our contemporary, Ibut we
cannot stand idly by and seeAone of
our good citizens unjustly criticized
without saying a word in his behalf

A SUBSTITUTE FOR
SALOON LICENSES

AT present the town ~ Clayton is
receiving $1,000 in revenue IRON the
saloon licenses. This will neessari-
ly stop with the passing of the sa-
looms on October ist. Some method
must be devised by which this a
mount Of money can be raised to
meet the necessary expenses of the
town. The City Board have dis
cussed this matter and it is their
opinion that all business and pro-
fessional men of Clayton should pay
revenue license. The law pro-
vides for this but it has never been
enforced. The Board invites all
citizens of Clayton to meet with
them on any of their meeting nights
for the purpose of discussing this
proposition.
The people of Clayton have been
and are now receiving from the
town the benefit of street lights,
street sprinkling, street crossings,
fire protection and many other
things. Our water and light profits
have all gone into these enterprises
and if they are TO be continued after
the saloons have gone, it is i'm
portant that some other source of
revenue be provided.

This is perhaps one the best meet
ings the Clayton Rotary Club has
had since its organization. Judge
Leib spoke for several minutes on
the inadequateness of the antiquated
Jury System. He declared that our
present Jury System should be abOl4
ished and replaced by something
better. y However, the Judge did not
have time to discuss the proposition
in detail and explain just what
method would be best to adopt. His
remarks were we'll received by all
p esent.

STUDENT ARMY TRAINING
CORPS ESTABLISHED AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.

albuquerque, n. NJ, Sept. g.
Definite establishment of the status
of the Student Army Corps, under
the new man-power law, following
the great registration on Septem-
Der 18th, has removed all doubt as
to the attendance at the University of
New Mexico this year, in so far as
its military unit is concerned. Fol-
lowing a meeting of the Board of
Regents last week, at which a care
full inspection of the grounds, build
ings and equipment was made, plans
were made and orders given for ad-
ditiOns to dormitOries and barracks
which will adequately accommodate
the entire force of young men who
will choose the institution here as
their place for training, pending the
call into service.
At the same time the University
authorities have begun extension of
accommodations for young women.
Because of the activity in connection
with the Student Army Training
Corps some have gathered the idea
that young women might have diff
ilculty in securing accommodations
at the University.
The Regents, however, have kept
carefully in mind the accommOda-
tions for women and these will be
more extensive and more convenient
than ever before.
When the University opens on
October list, students who left in
May for summer work or vacation,
will find that a miracle has been
wrought on the campus. In place
of he old sand stretches, lawns and
beautiful gardens now surround the
buildings. The effect is a COM
lplete Transformation and one which
adds a hundred per cent TO the
pleasure of living at the institution
