Resolution Adopted.

The following resolution, with satiri-
cal reference to prohibition, was adopted:
Whereas the use of the ome-brewed
stuff is inimical to the calm consideration
which is necessary that an operation
may be performed on the Constitution
without attracting undue attention to
the operating surgeon in the democratic
party, therefore, be it resolved:
highest in the democratic party to sus-
pend the wartime prohibition act in or
der to remove the need of having re-
course to the home brew.
'fBe it further resolved. That petition
be sent to the presiding officer of the
Senate requesting the installation of
signposts and a traffic policeman in the
United States Senate in order that
members of that august body may be
kept from straying off the reservation.
and thus become source of gratifica-
ton and mirth to their political oppo-
nents."
1t was announced that the local or
ganization has completed raising it's quota
of $4,000 to the Irish victory fund.
William NJ. Phelan was announced as
chairman of the Irish bond campaign

build the courthouse actually came
will also disprove the belief that it
was raised by lottery. 1t is a star
Ting statement that. although the cor
ner stone was laid August 20. 1920. the
building was really finished only this
wear. The central portion of the plan.
including the pillared portico. was
completed in 1922, at a cost of $34.-
$3.50. There is no reference in the
report Of the commissioners to erect
the building, or in the estimate Of tho
architect. to the source of the money
witch was expended except 1.-The whole
amount of money drawn from the
bank is $1s,325.s2."
Although there is evidence that,
from the outset, 1t was the intention
to house the courts in the building.
they did not take up their abode there

appropriated $4,000 ito complete a

wing was not added until 1S49. The

Only $500 Went for City Hall.

The only money toward the building
or the City Hall which was derived
from the lottery was the sum of $500
which was paid George Hadf1eld, the
architect. for the plans More than
was obtained was expended later prin-
cipally for expensive lawsuits which
grew out of the enterprise. There
were two or three notable cases.
The first was Chastein Clark VS.. the
corporation of Washington, heard by
Chief Judge William Cranch of the
Circuit Court of the District of Co
lumbia during December, 1924 Thorn
as Swami, one of the leading attor-
neys of the time, and William Writ.
later United States Attorney General,
appeared for the plaintiff Famous
Walter Jones represented the defense
The jury awarded $35, 900 and interest
to the plaintiff, subject to the opinion
of the court. on a case agreed. Upon
submission to the court, judgment was
rendered for the defendant, and the
cause was taken to the United States
Supreme Court by writ of error. In
that court. Daniel Webster joined the
forces of the plaintiff. who sought to
establish the agency of Gillespie for
the city. Chief Justice Marshall re-
versed the opinion of the Circuit Court
and remanded the cause with direc-
tions to enter judgment for the plain
tiff, which judgment the city was
forced to pay. This was one of only
two cases decided by Chief Judge
Cranch during fifty-four years on the
bench which were ever reversed upon
appeal. The case can be found in
XII Wheaton's Reports, at page 40.
One of the most famous lottery cases,
from a constitutional point. was Co.
hens VS.. Virginia, VI Wheaton's Re-
ports, page 264.

We watched you day and night
And held your hands in ours,
Until at last with broken hearts
We saw you breathe your last.
Our darling one now is sleeping,
No care is on his brow;
Oh. blame not for weeping,
For we have no darling now.
You suffered much, but murmured not,
You were watched day by day;
Until at last with broken hearts
We saw you pass away.
Your life like a summer rose,
1t seemed so quickly passed,
But it was spent in VISIONS way
And death was sweet at last.

Hail Insurance

A prominent business man and.
one who has the financial inter-
ests of this mesa at heart sug-
gests that 1t would be a great
stunt for the farmers and wheat
growers of this mesa to get to-
gether and form a cooperative
Hail Insurance Company or mu-
tual protection this summer. He
points out Hail Insurance is a
very expensive but absolutely
necessary precaution when crops
are good and that if a co-opera-
tive company could be formed, it
would equalize the burden Of loss
by hail among the people of the
mesa, and save an immense a.
mount Of money from going out
Of the community to foreign in
surance companies.
If the losses from hail are
small, then the Saving will be
still greater for no one will pay
for anything but actual losses.
If they are severe, then we will
still be ahead for we will save a.
gents commissions and officers
salaries.
The loss from hail last year
was SO great and SO general. that
no prudent man will risk farm
ing without some insurance this
year.
Many thousands of dollars will
be spent for hail insurance and
if a mutual company was formed
with reliable and competent men
for President and Secretary, and
a sess the members only when
losses have been had, it would
be the cheapest, safe. and best
insurance to be li,u
We heartily endorse the sug-
gestion and kope the farmers
will get busy before the time
farm work begins ahd form such
a company.

Horses Poisoned

Frank Heiman, drove in from
his ranch at the top of the Al
bert Hill last Friday, with a team
He brought along a sack Of oats
to feed the horses and by mis-
take got a sack which his fathel
had brought from down in the
valley, and which had been pois-
oned for killing prarie dogs.
Frank knew nothing Of this and
brought the poisoned grain for
his team. Both horses died from
it and he secured a team and
dragged them out onto the prar
ie It was a good little team and
a serious loss, also an object les

Business Change


I A welcome business change
occurred last week when Cipriano
Lujan, of Sabinoso, purchased
the store Of Adelo Tanos and
moved here with his family to
take charge of it and become a
citizen Of Roy.
Mr.. Lujan has six children of
school age and they are all in
school and delighted with the
chance to attend graded school.
The schooling of his children is
what brought Mr.. Lujan to Roy
and dragged him from his fine
ranch and store at Sabinoso,
where he has lived most of his
life. His son, Frank, will run the
store there and a younger son,
Juan, will assist IN the Roy store.
The place has been cleaned out
Strengthened and stocked up till it
is a very attractive place and the
cordiality with which you will
be greeted, and the straight busi-
ness methods are bound to get a
l
good share of the trade.
Cipriano is an uncompromising
Democrat, who has stood by his
ideals a long lifeaime, and his
loyalty to his principles has with
stood a lot of persecution.and f.
nancial loss without ever waver-
ing.
Roy is to be congratulated in
having attracted such a citizen,
and he and his family are a well
cone addition to the town.

Gets D. S. Cross

Hats off to SoIano! She's the
home Of a Soldier who will bring
home the Distinguished Service
Cross and whose name is Cor
poral Leo L. Ross, son Of Walter
Ross. Of Solano.
He was a member Of Co. D.
36lst. Infantry, and in action
near Genes, France, Sept. 26th.
1918. he, with an officer crossed
the line Of wires, and captured
three machine guns and four
prisoners, and on the same day
he, with two other soldiers cap
tured three machine guns and 26
"Kamerads".
For this reason he was decora-
ted by General Pershing, in the
name of the President, with the
cross for "Extrtosdinary Hero
ism In Action.
OF course we expected it Of
him, he comes of that kind Of
stock, but we are glad just the
same that he got to prove it.
Here's our congratulations to
the father who sent him to do
what he would have liked to do
himself, had he been young
enough.

ing 81 SO.
