The Chayes county board OF edu-

the Office OF the county scnool sup
erintendent in the Roswell court
house, besides reviewing the school
work accomplished in the past nine
months, formulated plans for the
coming year, which includes an eX-
tensive building program. District
number three, known as the Elk dis
trict will have a new school build
ing. The building in District num-
Der four, known as the Jones school,
which was burned last year, will be
replaced, and extensive improve
ments will be made at the Berren-
do and l.. F. d. schools. The new
buildings, it is thought, will be frame
stucco structures, and the improve
ments will be of concrete at the
L. +. ID. schools.
Several new schools will be open
ed in the county, to care for increas-
ed demand in certain communities.
and this will necessitate an increase
in the teaching force of the coun-
ty.
A Ford truck will be used to trans
port the students from Districts

Good Police Work.

Remarkably quick work by the po.
lice effected the capture of the slayer
of a man in Arlington county Sun
day morning. This case, though
promptly reported by the young
woman survivor Of the crime, was SO
circumstanced that the assailant might
readily have escaped. But by a
speedy response to the alarm the po.
lice were 30 soon at work that he was
picked up on the road within q short
distance from the scene Of the crime
Highwaymanry is a most difficult
offense to fight. The attacker has the
advantage Of surprise and means Of
escape. If he works at night he may
avoid being identified. Luckily in this
case the survivor Of the attack was
able to remember his appearance and
as further means of Identification he
had been wounded in the exchange of
shots.
Such good work as that of the po-
lice of Arlington county, assisted by
those Of the District, goes far to re-
assure the people of both communities
that there is at hand an efficient
agency for the maintenance of order
and for the punishment of crime when
it has been committed.

ness. In fact, the whole situation re-

fleeing to the hills from the insurgent

would have been q problem on their

to q neutral country would have left
him free to organize reaction. Her
rero seems to have solved the problem,
whether by his own initiative remains
uncertain. If, as some of the dis
patches hint, Carranza was betrayed
by his own followers. possibly through
the agency of Herrero, the case is
complicated. Suspicion cannot def
nitely attach to the de facto govern
ment, however strange the circum-
stances may seem. With so much con-
fusion and with so distinct a motive
for concealment Of the facts it is doubt
full whether the true record of what
happened at Tlaxcalantongo will ever

The Blame for Bergdolrs Escape

Military authorities blame the Phila-
delphia attorney for the escape in
that city of Grover Bergdoll. who
slipped out of custody the other day
while on guarded" leave of absence
from prison for the purpose of re-
covering hidden money. The Phila-
delphia lawyer blames the military
guard for the escape. The adjutant
generals Office declares that the Phila
delphia lawyer had promised to pro-
vide an automobile to take Bergdoll
directly from the station and that the
escape was due to its absence. The
lawyer says that if the guard had been
efficient this slight change Of program
would not have permitted the prisoner
to get away. The military officers say
that while the guard may have be-
come lax the absence Of a machine in
dicates failure on the part of the at
torney to live up to his agreement. So
it goes, each side blaming the other.
The prisoner, meanwhile, is at large
and the country is wondering why the
absurd excuse of searching for hidden
treasure was ever permitted to gain
for him a trip out of prison. Every
one connected with the case is respon-
sible, from those who proposed this
FOOLS errand and those who permitted
it down to the enlisted men who gave
their charge sufficient freedom to make
his escape with ridiculous ease.

Our Trade in Argentina.

To the charge that the United States
cnt in while the war was in progress
and crowded Great Britain out Of the
Argentine market. DR.. Klein, the
American commercial attache in Ar
gentina, replies:
at Is true that the United States
gained the supremacy of the import
trade of Argentina during the war
surprising Great Britain, but the
United States has NOT. as has been
contended by some British interests
taken this trade from the British while
they were fighting the war"
Proceeding, DR.. Klein, quoting local
statistics, shows that very little Of
this expansion of Argentine trade with
the United States has been at the ex-
pense of the British, but has been
won from the continental countries
of Europe, especially Germany, or is
entirely ne~ business created by
American enterprise"
This charge that we made hay while
the war sun was shining does not
Consist with the complaint heard at
home here that We are making no hay
now that the peace sun is shining
that as a trader we are too slow for
our company, particularly the Brit
ish, and that unless we mend eur gait
We shall presently be outclassed every
where.
1t is good, therefore, to read this
report from DR.. Klein, and especially
that part which speaks Of "new bust
ness created by American enterprise. y
We want all the business in Argen
tina and elsewhere that is obtainable
By fair means, of course. We are in
swift trading company. Some of our
competitors have been cultivating sue
cessfully for years fields which we
are just entering. Hustle on our part,
therefore, is imperative; and as an
American merchant marine of goodly
proportions is now an assured fact we
have every incentive and the means
to get busy and stay busy.
We cannot hope to escape criticism
Trade, at its very best, is selfish EN-.
ployment, in which the interests OF
number one are kept in view and un-
tiringly attended to.

Get Rid Of Villa.

There are contradictory stories on
the subject, but let us hope that in
the new arrangement in MEXICO the
man known as Villa may hsve NO in
portant part assigned him. He may
not be altogether as black a. painted.
But certainly, by the undisputed rec
ord, he is black enough. A brutal
bandit, ignorant, and unframed in any
thing but bushwhacking, he has, for 4
full decade, been an influence in his
country, particularly in the section
contiguous to the American line, for
turbulence and every sort Of dis
order. The bare fact Of his keeping
the field has been an impeachment,
either Of the enterprise or the sin
cerity, Of the so-called authorities.
Gems. Obregon and Gonzales are
men Of education and Of. standing in
Mexico. They have served in high
places, civil and military. They are
associable on the score Of capacity and
experience with the presidency Of the
country. On that account they should
not soil their hands with such an in
strument as Villa. They do not need
him in their business, but should put
him down, and, if necessary, drive him
out of the country.
Gen. Obregon should be able to han
die Villa. In fact, he has handled
him. His empty sleeve recalls fight
in which he whipped Villa, and for a
time rendered him powerless for mis-
chief.
Banditry is. and has been for years,
the curse of Mexico-the cause of
many of her woes. "Taking to the
brush" and operating from the
"brush," her "bad" men have done
great harm at home, and discredited
the country in foreign eyes. Villa
is the last Of the more notable ones.
The others have died, bandit fashion,
with their boots on. But he, more
fortunate or more resourceful than
they, is still in the saddle, and still
an evil to be reckoned with BY those
who want order and are working for
Its restoration.

Two Weeks to Chicago.

A fortnight brings US to the day
when Mr.. Lodge will take the gavel at
Chicago and the republican national
convention will begin to function.
it will be an open convention-as
open probably as any convention ever
was. As matters appear now. the lead
ing candidate for the nomination IS
far from goal. while the trailer Is
almost lost in the distance.
The republicans are to be congratu /
lated on the situation. Out of it should
issue a good ticket and good plat
form. Discussion will reveal the
merits of the presidential aspirants,
and the ruling party opinion as to
policies.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
the emergency calls for the very best
action the republicans can take. There
has been q sensible abatement of the
boast that "it is all over but the shout
ing
Rather is the shouting over, and
real business at hand Booms that
we're greeted with large lung power
during the primary campaigns now
face two weeks of thinking service.
Boomers must depend less upon noise
than upon earnest and quick eonfabuia-
tion. No boomee can be "put over
by hullabaloo, no matter how skill
fully keyed.
Thinking service il necessary be-
cause the country is in thoughtful
mood. There il full manifestation Of
the fact that voters are awakening to
the conditions that prevail; that pub
lie affairs are in very confused and
complicated state, and that the men
chosen in November to bring order
out of the chaos should be qualified
for the job and in agreement about
how it should be performed.
In other words, there Is large or
der to be filled; and as the contest for
filling it lies between the republicans
and the democrats, the former, max
ing the first bid. must take every
thing inte account in what they do at
Chicago next month.
