ESTANCIA 9,
M0UNTAINAIR Z

One of the NEST exciting
games of ball ever witnessed
in the Estancia valley was
played at Meuntainair Monday
between the Estancia boys and
Mountainair. The game was
one of the most bitterly fought
contests ever staged in New
Mexico.
Estancia started the scoring
in the third inning when with
one out Jameson, Estancia's
brilliant catcher, singled over
short. Welch, who was sent
in to run for Jameson, stole
second and third and came
home en- q wild threw at third.
Estaneia's second scere came
in the first half Of the sixth,
when Draper singled, stole
second and came home on
OVerCnrOWS.
Mountainair evened things
up in the last half of the sixth,
when they punched hits off
Milbourn for two runs.
Estancia's third and winning
score came in the first half of
eighth, when Welch singled,
stole second and third and
came home on Draper',s 'saerll-
flee. '1''
jameson caught an extra
fine game, although he had
been sick for some time.
The features of the game
were the fast playing of, Ora.
per at third, Welch at sh8rt
Keen at second, and B. MIL
bourn at first. The outfield
played fine ball, but sWaftz
was the eniy enc who had a
chance, but handled it with
ease. Chism of Mountainail
robbed several boys of what
should have been hits. Every
man in the game played at
his best from beginning to the
end, - - I
Milboum pitched a steady
game and he had splendid
support.

not oppose the acceptance of

by doing this may we retrieve

Here is an editorial from the Dur
ham IN. c. Sun which is timely,
rings true and is worthy of repro
duction: "The nineteenth amendment
to the federal constitution, bestowing
upon women the ballot in America
has been proclaimed part of the
great document. Women will vote for
the man who is to sit in the presiden-
tial chair of the United States Tor
four years, beginning March q, 1921.
Suffrage for women is an old question.
1t is doubtful if there have ever been
any strong arguments against it.
There is no reason to believe women
are less intelligent than men. If they
are unacquainted with politics they
will make it their business to become
acquainted. At any rate it is entirely
possible they know as much about

Farley Christensen refused to
speak at the state fair because of the
rule barring politics. Harding dis
cussed politics from his party stand
point in spite of the rule and the state
fair board made no protest. 1t would
have been best to have given all candi-
dates the right to talk politics, for
that's the only kind of speech these
candidates can make these days and
the only kind the people want to hear.

It is fact that Christensen did not
speak at the state fair and the reason
is, apparently, that his master had
coached him in but one little story,
Socialism," and so he was unequal to
the task Of speaking piece" on any
other subject. So far as Senator
Harding was concerned his address
was, in it's entirety, of a purely agri-
cultural nature AS to barring politi-

The New York assembly has again
refused to seat the five socialist mem
bers. Mr.. Hughes states there is no
personal charge against any of these
men and they have been reelected at
a fair election in accordance with the
laws of this country. If all this be
true, we agree with him-the refusal
of the assembly to seat these men is
San act Of increditable folly and is in
fragrant disregard of the fundamental
principles of American institutions. 4"
The deplorable feature of the whole
situation is the fact that il certain
sections of the state Of New York
there are. enough voters who believe
in the infamous doctrine of the social
list party to elect representatives of
that faith to the assembly. The re-
fusal to seat these members is merely
adding fuel to the flames of socialism,

OUR SENATORS.

The citizens Of Minnesota are right
ly proud of their representatives in
the United States senate. In choosing
Knute Nelson and Frank B. Kellogg
as our senators we picked the very
best we had-no men in Minnesota
were more eminently qualified for this
important position.
Two years ago, when Senator Nelson
had decided to return to private life,
President Wilson and all his col
leagues, both democrats AID republi-
cans, strongly urged him to recon
slider the matter and again return to
the senate. Senator Nelson was too
valuable man to be considered from
a partisan standpoint and they felt the
need of his sage counsel and Judgment
in those troublous times.
Senator Kellogg, although serving
only his first term in the senate, is to-
day recognized throughout The country
as one Of the leaders in that body. He
played most important role in the
league of nations controversy ard for
time it appeared as though his group
might be able to effect compromise
between President Wilson and the
Lodge reservationists. Senator KEEL
loog recently returned from Europe,
where he conferred with the
leading statesmen in England ard
France in regard to the league Of ra-
, tions. This is but his fourth year in
active politics and he is today a La
tional figure and is fast developing
an international reputation. Senator
Kellogg was this year, in certain cir.
cles, frequently mentioned as a presi.

quently indulge in political prophesics
but if Senator Kellogg's political ca
reer continues as it has begun, Min.

presidential candidate in 1923.
Now both Senator Nelson and Sena
tor Kellogg started life on a farm ir
the most modest circumstances. The
path lies open to every boy as it die
to them. AS Mr.. Kellogg remarked
in his address at St. Cloud-one of the
great blessings of America is the tota
lack Of any class distinction; there art
no classes in this country. Our edu
cational institutions and the social ant

We arc pleased to learn that the
people of Cloquet have won their fight
against w. D. Hines, United States
railroad director, as manager of the
Great Northern during the war period.
Judges Of the district court, sitting
en- banc at Duluth, have handed down
a decision declaring that the United
States railroad administration is re-
sponsible for the loss by fire which
occurred at Cloquet in 1918, and have
awarded the 278 claimants involved
damages in sum aggregating 3d.
100000. This decision is of great i'm

bearing on other suits involving some

DR.. Henrik shipstead, as an indie

Harvcy's Weekly: The undignifed
course of the anti-suffragist members
of the Tennessee legislature in abb

effort to thwart the will of the ma

unworthy, and caused but a brief de-

enfrarchising all the women of the
nation on equal terms with men. 1t
is strange that in some states attempts
were made to deny the validity of the
nineteenth amendment until CORE
spending changes were made in the
state constitutions on the ground that
women could not vote in states tn:
constitutions of which restricted. the
suffrage to male citizens. The folly
of such pretcnses should be obvious to

A Washington dispatch says: "a

The same old story. Wilson's depart

anarchists have accomplished their
deadly work and made their escape be-
fore spreading its net, and that net
rarely enmeshes the culprits. 1t
would seem that, with thousands Of
secret service men working through
out the country, every anarchist could
be kept under surveillance and ar
rested if he made suspicious move.
This is done in England and France,

The only conclusion to be drawn
from the action of persons who decide
to starve themselves 20 death rather
than conform to the laws Of their
country is that they are mentally UNI
balanced. No sane man will commit
suicide by imposing upon himself the
lingering fortunes of starvation, but,
at the same time, it would seem that
it is mans privilege to shuttle off
this mortal coil by any means he secs
fit, although law exists forbidding
him from taking his life. So-called
"hunger strikes" have been resorted
to by hundreds of law violators for
the purpose of obtaining release from
prison, and the scheme has usually re-
suited in the liberation of the Offend
ers. At last the British government,
out of p.tience with the tactics of
hunger strikers, has decided to let
them starve if they feel so inclined,
and the government is right. Album
dance of food is provided them and
they can eat it or leave it alone. Had
MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, been
released from Jail, the authorities
would have been in justice bound to
give score or more Of hunger strik-
ers their freedom. We are inclined to
the opinion that hunger strikes here
after will net be of such frequent oc-
lcurrence.

Harvey's Weekly: The government
is quite right in instituting suits
against all war contractors whom it
has reason to believe to be guilty of
frauds, and it is hoped that it will
prosecute them vigorously. But we
must regret-as indeed it must itself
regret-that it did not take more
care in the awarding of contracts so
as to guard moro effectively against
frauds. The wildly profigate manner
in which. the government conducted
it's affairs when it was forced into the
war, for which it had studiously kept
itself unpreparcd, was the most open
of invitations to all manner of NAL
practice.

"The constitution or the covenant is
the paramount ISSUE" says Senator
Harding. He maintains that the
league of nations is irreconcilable
with the American constitution and
that the time has come for the United
States to decide whether it will pre-
serve or abandon the charter under
which it achieved nationality. This
is the situation in nutshell-it is for
the people to decide whether they
want Americanism or wisconsin.
