THERE'S WHERE LEAVE YOU; GOOD BYE" HE SHOUTS
MAN WADES INTO RIVER AND is CARRIED TO HIS DEATH

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Oct. 22.--
Before the eyes of a score of sight
seers at Prospect Point late today
man climbed over the railing,
waded out into the river and was
carried over the American falls.
Too astounded to act, the spectators
stood by while the man drifted to
the brink, waving his hand and
shouting Here's where | leave
you; good bye"
In black derby found near the
place where the man climbed the
railing was found a piece of paper
on which was written:
This hat belongs to Carl A.
Ellis, Of Hamburg, n. Y"
The description of the suicide
corresponds to that of Ellis, who
could not be located in Hamburg
tonight.
The owner of a souvenir stand
near the falls told the police that
the man approached him and
laughingly said:
well, / can't vote for Harding,
so may as well go over the falls. :"
The souvenir seller thought the
man was joking.

intention of all these questions APP

whether we consider the statements
which we made and the action
which we took in regard to the edi-
torials in the Portales Journal Of
october were wise and right
and whether we would pursue the

All three OF us have lived
In New Mexico for many years
and those who know US, even
by reputation, know that dur
ing those years we have all been
active in educational and public
welfare work in the state. In fact
the one great reason why we have
entered into politics or entered pub
tic life at all is in order that we
may help to accomplish directly the
objects which We have in the past
been obliged to pursue indirectly.
When we first read the editorials
published in the Portales Journal
and written by man who was at
that time a candidate for county
office on the democratic ticket. we
hoped and felt sure that his edito-
rials would be repudiated by the
democratic women of Roosevelt
county or by the women who are
members of the democratic state
committee. When week had
passed after its publication and nc
notice had been taken of these edi-
torials by the democratic women
or by the democratic nominees, we
felt it proper that we should issue
a statement on the subject.

NEW YORKER COMES
IN FOR CRITICISM
Fears That the Only Point

Points Out Alleged Errors.
nv The Associated Press>

Washington, Oct. %. -
Secretary Colby issued a
statement tonight asserting
that there was a plain mis-
statement of facts" in the
recent address made by Eli
hu Root, dealing with the
league of nations covenant.
81 fear that the only point
in Mr.. Roots mind was to
serve his party," Mr.. Col
by's statement said. Mr..
Root is wrong. What he says
is wrong. What he seeks to
do is wrong. | half suspect
Mr.. Root knows this"
Mr.. Colby addressed his
statement particularly to the
question of article ten of the
covenant as presented by
Mr.. Root.
Inversion of the Truth.
"Mr Roots statement that art-
Gle ten il AN attempt to carry over
and continue for all time as part
of the organization to preserve
peace, the exercise of power by the
conquering nations in closing the
war, is plain mis-statement OF
fact" Mr.. Colby said. Indeed, IT
is a complete inversion of the
truth.
His further objection to the
substitution in any event OF physl-
cal or armed force for the moral
force which is relied upon in the
other provisions of the covenant,
indicates a complete insensibility
to the instruction Of events and the
lessons of the worlds recent and
narrowing experience.
"The idea of an International
court of justice, to which Mr.. Root
has Just contributed his enthusiasts
tic labors, has admittedly been
| lifeless thing, hopelessly beyond
realization, conceded by its spon-
sors to be impotent and impracti-
cable until the successor of the

cal organization Of the world

court a background and promise
that its DEGREES will be effective
II there is one thing which the war
has taught the nations of the world.
II is that the projects discussed at
the two Hague conferences for re
straining war, and the peaceful
regulation of international con-
duet were utterly Valueless and IL
lusory.
League Is Real Thing.
at is article ten, which for the
first time, has given vitality and
Significance to the project of a
league of nations. 1t is this under
living and ultimate sanction of
Joint force, susceptible OF being IN
voked in the final analysis by the
nations charged with the preserVa-
ton of world peace, that makes the
league a real thing instead of al
academic theme.
"Not that force will be employed:
indeed, it is the hope Of the spon-
sors of the league and It's adherents
that the practical unanimity of the
world in the acceptance of the new
covenant will give to the, provisions
il contains. a moral pressure of
such weight as to obViate the re-
course under any conceivable con-
ditions TO force; and yet the fact
that the mechanism Of force Is
present in the league as means OF
final and conclusive assertion of its
will becomes in itself an element
in the moral strength of the cove
nant."
