10 ~a3rkW ss'sf
Reports to-, the effect that
housecleaning is planned and is
being attempted by some Re-
publicans in this and other
counties, is cheering news that
"leaks" to US altho overlooked
by the press generally.
Whether it is really and truly
reform or merely blackmail is
yet to be seen, anyway it has
a good effect in the general trend
Of affairs. We see the logic of
the men who take the position
that they can secure better
political conditions by staying in
the Republican household and
cleaning it up rather than go out
from it and leave it to tester.
We have only admiration for
the men who are trying to do
this but we don't envy them their

Graft that Failed

Much satisfaction IS generally
expressed over the permanent
INDUCTION secured in the Federal

state legislature, in the Federal
Court at Santa Fe.
Outside dealers in Gasoline
brought up the case as being
contrary to the Interstate Com
merce Laws and sustained it.
We may now burn gasoline
without the feeling that eight
percent of the cost. of it goes to
pensions for political scoundrels

accounts and campaign funds
for the next campaign, as plann-
ed by the Legislatures owners,
and perpetrated in the name of
Good Roads.
No sane person expected to
see any considerable amount of
money from the Gasoline Tax
ever reach the Road Fund and
it is due a number Of right mind
ed and progressive Republicans
as much or more than it is to.
the Democrats that this righteous
ly thrown 'Monkey-wrench'
has landed among the wheels of
Governor Larrazolo's political
machine. There will be more of
them later and he will have to
more than 'Play Politics. if he
perpetuates himself and his
party in power by such methods.
The time is near when such
coarse CRAFTS will be scorned by
the good men and women of all
parties and honesty and service
will go farther than graft and
trickery.

That Game

Springer pulled stunt for the
Ball Game the 4th, 1t was hard
to decide whether to be amused
or provoked at it. They borrow
ed money and hired the crack
players from Van Houten and
some from Colorado in order to
be sure to defeat Roy. That was
all right and it would have been
a game anyway but when their
Umpire made it plain they would
have him to beat as well as the
pick of two states in players, the
boys decided to merely go on
through the gams perfunctorily
and get the BOBBY prize, which
was a little better than quitting,
and await an opportunity to play
ball instead Of politics.
1t is some satisfaction to the
Roy team that it cost them dearly
for their hired strangers, only
two Springer men played on their
team,-- while the Roy team play
ed, as they have and will for the
season with our own men and a
clean and heady bunch of players
as you will ever find and they
know the rules of the game as
she is played, which is more than
the hired men seemed to know.
The Springer people are not
enthusiastic for the game this
season.
Its a little too bad that the
championship in Base Ball locally,
cant be decided in clean and
manly sport instead of by trick
cry, and chicanery. We hope
Roy's ball team will continue to
play bali, be good fellows and
stay clean in spite Of somerather
discouraQing methods.
The game ended 80 in favor
of Springer. There are many
who saw the game who know
it could have been a good game
had they had the encourage
ment of a square deal and played
ball instead of Horse"
One Of the comedy features
was the inability of a score or
moreof Springer Rooters to name
The men on their team. A S..
bill was offered them to name
their players and none of them
could do it.

entertainment for them, Races,
ball game. platform dance and
program were some Of the
features. Many Roy Mills, and
Mosquero people enjo,ved the day
with them.
Carrizo had a big crowd at
their shady and picturesque
canyon picnic grounds and enter
tained them handsomely all day
and most Of the night.
The Base Ball Fans all went to
Springer for the game and prize
fight. They were the least salts
fled Of any Of the delegations.
Dan Cupid managed the picnic
at the canyons and has kept the
doins there a secret. 1t has leak
