THE DOG pOISONER.

Some day Albuquerque dog pois-
oner will be found out and if n man is
mixed up in it. there will be gentle
application of tar and a wasting of
some perfectly good feathers.
The attachment of master for his
dog and the love of the dog for his
master are things unexplainable, but
they exist to q degree not known to
other forms of life except between
members of the same family of hui
man beings.
The cat, even the horse, only loves a
human being because of expected IA
vors, but the dog loves for compan-
ionship only. 1t will go hungry, it
will submit to cold and kicks and
abuse and still be faithful in its affec-
lions for its owner
a lord in his castle or tramp sleeping
under the shelter of a hedge by the
roadside, the dog never forsakes him
It's love for him never cools. 1t Is
faithful unto death and will mourn
over his grave.
Why any man or woman should find
pleasure in poisoning this one faithful
and loving animal, is beyond compre-
hension.

BACK TO THE CONVENTION.
New YORK Evening Post.


There is something of reaction
against the direct primary. This is
not based on the attitude of political
leaders in this state, where there has
always beer grudging acceptance of
the system among old line politicians.
1t is Indiana that gives the observer
pause The republican state COM
mittee, upon the eve of the assembling
of an overwhelmingly republican leg
islature, has voted in favor of ADAM
doning the primary for nominations
for governor and senator. A motion
to include representatives was lost.
The inconsistency of this action is pal
pable Are the republican leaders of
Chairman Hays state afraid to restore
the convention system as a whole?
The Indiana law is by no means ex-
treme; 1t provides for nomination by
convention when the primary has fail
ed to give candidate for governor or
senator majority. 1t is natural that
there should be disappointment over
the way in which the direct primary
has worked-its advocates have al
ways claimed too much for it, The
question, however, is not Of perfection.
but Of relative results.

MEMBER OF THE AssoCIATED
7RIDAY. FEBRUARY 2S. 1919
Up TO UNCLE SAM.

Through Secretary of Labor Wilson
the governors of all the states have
been summoned to Washington on
March "a, to listen to an address by
President Wilson on how he would
have work provided for the discharged
soldiers.
The call does not Indicate that the
president wants the governors opin-
ions. He is going to tell them how the
states should take care of the men
drafted by the nation.
The fact is, all these men require is
opportunity to work; and how they
shall get work is a problem for the
federal government, They do not
want to be molly-coddled. They mere
ly want a chance. on this subject the
Manchester, y H.. Union says:
"One would dislike to think that,
having smashed the Hindenhurg llhe'
these lads would have to be packed in
cotton latting and fed with spoons for
the rest of their lives. They are

chance in life, and a mans environ

pursued from little more than child
hood. has returned big, square
shouldered fellow who wants out-ot-
door work. one thing is sure. The
boys won't go to the country simply
because thcy are invited there. Real
opportunity must open for them
there
Take off the governments restric-
tons and these men will find their
opportunity. Put the government is
in control of practically all industry
now. 1t holds the railroad funds as
well as the roads themselves; it holds
telegraph and telephone lines. No en-
tensions can be made.
We may cite an example in Albu-
uuerque. The Santa F'e road needs
shop improvements at Albuquerque
that will cost 100000. The plans are
all made and have been submitted
to Washington. 1t is understood that
the director general has given his APP
proval, and for some weeks it has
been up before the capital issues com
mittee for final approval. BY and by
approval doubtless will he given, but
nothing Is certain until it is done.

Colonel Roosevelt to attack the APP

at once that this strike was not a
labor strike based on grievances. He
knew it for what it was intended to

people that they were still in Ameri-

eminent is made of mollycoddlers OF

Get In the habit of drinking
glass of hot water before

We're not here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest we'll, work well. sleep
well, and look well. What q glorious

easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise. split
ting headache. stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
BY opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter
Everyone. whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast. drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previ-
Gus days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins. The action Of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast
The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly complexions are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little. but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject Of inside-bathing before break

NEW MEXICO'S HLITERACY.


The United States census has is
sued a bulletin in which it says the
percentage of illiteracy is decidedly
higher in the mountain division of the
Pacific, "but it should be noted that
this higher percentage is mainly due
to exceptionally high percentages in
two states-New Mexico and Ari-
IONA"
The percentage of illiteracy in New
Mexico is given as twenty-five.
But, while we have far too high a
percentage of illiteracy the report
of the census does us a grave injus-
tice in the fact that it includes $4,000
Indians, practically all of them Hitter
ate. The government assumes entire
responsibility for the education of the
red man, and if it would deduct the
illiterate Indians, our percentage
would be twelve.
Senator Mersfelder has introduced
a resolution asking that next census do
justice by this state, regarding litter
aCy.

OIL LEASE BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE,;
DANIELS OBJECTS
10y MORNING JouRnA. SPECIAL LEASED wlRsl


Washington, Feb. 27.--The house
today adopted the conference report
on the oil land leasing bill and sent it
to the senate for final action.
Opposition to the bill because of the
inclusion of provision affecting the
naval reserves in California and Wyo-
ming was expressing in a letter trans
mitted by Secretary Daniels to Chair
man Swanson, of the naval committee,
and read late today in the senate. The
secretary wrote that he wished to
correct statements that he favored the
measure.
Immediately after the message was
read senators Pittman, of Nevada and
Shafroth of Colorado, members of the
senate conference committee, con-
ferred with President Wilson, who
was then in his room in the capitol,
requesting that he ask the secretary
to withdraw his opposition. Later SEN
ator Shafroth held another confer
ence with the president, who was I'M
derstood to have advised the senator
to take the matter up with Mr.. Dam
iels.
Il understand" said the secretary's
letter that statement has been made
by some members of congress that
the attorney general and the secretary
of the navy favor the land legislation
reported by the conference committee
on public lands of the two houses.
You know my position al the time
has been that while opposing the leas-
ing kill which ! favor, / have opposed
incorporating any provision with ref
erence to the naval reserves in such
legislation. l do not favor, the bill that
has been agreed upon; | do not think
it is just to the government and while
it is better, so far as the naval re-
serves are concerned than the orig
inal bill, my attitude is that the naval
reserves. ought not to be touched by
legislation, but ought 10 be settled by
the courts.
II did agree with the attorney gen.
eral and the secretary of the interior
upon a provision some time ago that
would protect the naval reserves and
would confer upon the president pow
er to operate the going wells, We did
this because | did not wish to assume
to be standing in the way of the pas
sage of legislation of importance
which | favored, and write you be-
cause | hope you will correct the i'm
preston that I have changed in my
attitude. | believe that the naval in
terests require that whatever in the
naval reserve belongs to the navy by
law should go to the navy though the
final matter should be settled by the
courts, unless the provision referred
to, which the attorney general and my
self agreed to some time ago, is in
corporated."

William Benedict Gibson of New
Marlboro reached his Tooth birthday
recently, and at his home welcomed
many friends, and townspeople. He
was born on February 8, 1919, in the
house at New Marlboro, where he has
spent his entire life about two miles
south of the village of Southfield. He
has engaged in farming and for fifty
years he ran the sawmill which. later
his only son, George William Gibson,
has conducted. In 1874 Mr.. Gibson
served as state representative from his
district and for about twelve years
was a member of the board of select
men. He has also been honored with
most of the other town offices and on
many occasions has declined to ac-
cept further election. His sister, Mrs.
Mary Hawley, die dabout two years
ago at the age of 95 years. They were
of revolutionary ancestors, as their
grandfathers on both sides were
prominent in that war.
