Auto and Jazz Are Barred From
 Cowboys Dance

Carrizozo, N. M, March 6-Auto- mobiles and jazz music are barred from the big dance Smith Brothers are soon to give on their ranch in Lincoln county. For that reason the affair, which probably will be the chief social event of the early spring in the ranch country of Western New Mexico, promises to attract unusual attention
 The mandate spread abroad is that you must come to the dance riding a horse, just as the cowboys and their sweethearts did 30 to 50 years ago. It means that there must be no mod ern orchestras and late music. Fur ther, the instructions say that there are to be no new-fangled dances or dances of any kind that have hug ging in them. Only the dancers that the pioneers reveled in are to be permitted.
 Guests are forbidden to wear dress suits. Those who violate this in- junction will be "ducked" in the lake unceremoniously. Boots, spurs. colored shirts, broad -brimmed hats there are most desirable in the matter of dress.
 Jerry Dalton will lead the music This is to be made by battery of fiddles with probably guitar or banjo or both. They'll play "The Arkansas Traveller" "They Kicked Me Out of Cheyenne" "The Golden Vest" "The Sandhills of New Mex ico," and other airs that are well known to the cow-punchers and their fair partners. And when the music's we'll under way Jerry will call "All hands round and circle to the left" and that's the kind of a dance they'll have.
 Ed Harris will serve refreshments Sissy" wishes are barred. In addi- tion to refreshments, he'll serve the sort of food that will enable a man to ride a hundred miles on horse back. Drinks will be plentiful, and here's the only departure from the forms and fashions of other days; there'll be nothing intoxicating in the list. Smith Brothers will emascu. late the conventions of this period but they won't violate the laws of Uncle Sam,

Tells Story of Thrilling Hours
 in the Antarctic

London, Mar G---John l.. Cope, leader of the British Antaratic expe- dition, which is setting out in June, in the course of lecture, told the following story of thrilling experi- ence he had while a member of the Shackelton expedition marooned on Ross Island in 1916:
 "While leading three men over a dangerous glacier I failed to notice a crevice which was almost covered with snow. Suddenly 1 felt the snow give beneath my feet, and l fell headlong. Happily my com rades saw me disappear, and prompt ly started to pull on the sledge ropes.
 "These held, and I found myself suspended over bottomless pit. l was about 20 feet down and was be- ing held by the sledge harness, which was round my chest and shoulders. dangled helpless.
 "About 10 feet below my feet the opening suddenly widened until I could not see. the sides of the crevas- SC. Huge columns of ice, many of the weirdest shape, were sticking out, some blue in color, others of a writish pink tinge.
 "I tried to look down, but below me. as far as I could see, there was nothing but ice mad darkness. Now and again the roar of ice falling down the sides of the crevasse reached me, sounding like distant thunder.
 After what seemed hours of wait ing, heard voice calling me from above, and looking up saw the face of one of the men of my party. Are you all right ? he asked, peering over the edge of the crevasse.
 "'Yes,' I replied, but cannot get up. Pm hung here.' Hang on, then, he shouted, we'll make rope ladder And while continued hanging there the two men on the ice above sci to work to the ladder.
 While I was thu suspended my mits fell from my hands, and very soon l was half frozen. l watched the mits falling, glancing off columns of ice, till they disappeared iron sight. At least the ladder was low cred down, but my hands were SC frozen that could feel nothing.

CONTEST FOR GOVERNOR

The contest for governor in Iowa is
drifting along apparently without any
sensational development. Pictures OF
Deems, one of the candidates, have
been placed in a good many of the
stores in Denison. We do not imagine
however, that in all of the stores where
the pictures are seen that all of the
people are for Deems nor do we mag
inc that in stores where his picture is
not seen that they are all against him
We imagine that more work has been
done for Deems here than for any other
candidate. Il
Two prominent candidates. Moore, OF
Cedar Rapids, and Kendall, of Abba,
have not been here during the cam.
paign, but have confined themselves to
the more populous centers of the state.
Nate Kendall is a superb orator and
we doubt If he has rival anywhere,
SO that If he should be nominated for
governor there is no question but what
we would have an able orator to pre-.
sent the claims of the party during the
campaign.
Mr.. Moore, Of Cedar Rapids, is a
strong man and has had considerable
experience. He may be said to be a
practical business man and If nominal
ed would prove himself strong candi-
date before the people in November.
4 We have plenty of material from
which to select our candidate for gov
ernor and no mistake should be made
when the time comes. 5t1tESkfs IA

PRIMARY JUNE 9TH.

1T is only q few days until the pri-
mary will be here and the several con-
tests that have been pending for
months for state and federal Offices will
be settled by the ballots cast by the peo-
pie. It is of Importance to the voters
Of Iowa that no mistake shall be made
in. the election OF men best qualified for
the different Offices.
SiS IL the time ever comes that the voters
shall ignore their obligations to make
an honest effort to select the best men
for the Offices then it will be no sur
prise IL the government shall fall into
the hands Of irrespo manag cement.
We cannot sexe rcise too much diligence
in the selection Of public officials and
when a man in . public office has prov.
en- himself it is safer to continue him
than to indulge in the experiment of
making a change.
The republican party has two candi..
dates contrasting for the nomination for
Unitads States asenators this, year. SEN
ator Cummins Is a candidate to succeed
himself while Col. Brookhart is trying
TO beat him. He appeals to the worst
elements In the party for his support.
II would be useless for him to ask the
support of the leading republicans of
the state, who fortunately know him
and his record. He therefore turns to
the discOntented and disgruntled i'm the
hope that by appealing to prejudice and
passion he can work up support which
will nominate him.
Senator Cummins has a commanding
position as chairman Of the committee
upon the railroads and as chairman of
this. committee he had charge of the
bill which recently passed both houses
OF congress returning the railroads from
governemtn ownership back to the PEG.
pie, and 1t is universally admitted that
his work was of the highest order and
that the bill perhaps is the best one
5 that could have been enacted into law.
Senator Cummins no doubt perform
ed the crowning act of his official life
in this legislation. 1t seems very
strange that at this time when his rec
ord is certainly commendable that he
should become the target of all the
kickers in the country. Our opinion is
that as long as he is proving himself
a statesman of the highest order that
he should be encouraged rather than
penalized.
The Review takes the position it does
simply because of desire to promote
the best interests of the country and
would fail in the performance of its
fun duty if it did not oppose the noni
nation of Col. Brookhart.
