TOUGH ON COLUMBUS

When Francisco villa surrendered
to the de facto government of Mexico
he struck the hardest blow at the pros
perity OF Luna county that has fallen
in many moon. A live Columbus
really dated from the villa raid and
with peace In Chihuahua II Is not like
ly that more than u battalion and prob
ably less will he allowed by III Paso
politicians To the border town. How.
ever, there Is some considerable doubt
In the minds of those acquainted with
conditions, as to the sincerity of our
friend "Poncho;' hell may break loose
any minute ON the Chonchos.
There are too many men willing IA
give their own lives for just one shot
at "Ponchito." He has murdered too
many fathers and brothers and hus-
bands. outraged too many mothers and
wives and sisters. robbed too many IL
their very hides to live peacably with
his neighbors. lie must leave Mexico
to live in peace or he must protect him
self by surrounding his hacienda with
his bandit followers. This feudal con
dtion Is conducive to open banditry
and forms n problem with which the
de facto government Is now, without
doubt, dealing. In other words, thc
settlement as announced cannot be f.
nal in the very nature Of the cnse
There Is large sized Senegambial
hidden In the Mexican wOodplle.
Southern Luna county democrats, nC
doubt, are well pleased to vote for q
continuation Of the WilsOnian Mexican
policy that has furnished protection
for Americans neither in Mexico rol
in Luna county, nor has IL brought
about those happy conditions in Chi
huahua which would cause legiti
mate prosperity along this section ol
the border. Columbus has ten denici
everything that Texas or AriZont could
use. Customs, military administration
immigration, and any other fedora
activity that could be administered
from lay other state. FL Paso wou'
have had Camp Cody IL ii hadn't beer
too rank, and III Paso won't want tC
spare many troops for Columbus. The
border town can't even enjoy the priv
ileges Of port of entry, which was The
original excuse for its existence. FOul
more years of democratic administra
iion and Columbus will 60 hark tO w.
pre-raid davS.

GOVERNOR STANDS PAT

Governor q. 4. Larrazolo recently is
sued Il statement 10 the press in which
he declared that he will continue his
candidacy for denomination and that
he will run for govarnor or nothing.
Ii has been rumOred here following a
week Of conferences between Republi-
can leaders from all parts of the state
that the governor had been asked to
give M his ambition to succeed himself
aud take the nomination for congress
or the appointment as ambassador To
Mexico. In his statement, the COVER
nor says he Is reliably informed that
the mining interests of the state have
been responsible for the movement to
shelve him from the governorship,
largely in retaliation for his vetoing
the bill repeating the state income tax
law. The governor said: 1t Is well
known that representatives Of some OF
our largest mining companies openly
state that the mining companies do not
pay their just proportion Of tax. Others
however, strenuously oppose any steps
for the revision OF the mine tax laws,
and oppose any legislation that tends
In any way to increase their taxes.
The governor states he will carry his
fight into convention, believing that
the Republican voters will approve his
stand. Governor Iarrazolo recently
announced his platform. which inclnd-
ed number OF progressive measures.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

The good women who have struggled
for years to keep the Deming public
library going are on the point Of clos.
ing the library doors because tAe old
books are about worn out and there
II no funds for new books or for get.
ting the old books rebound.
There are lot of gentlemen In the
city who are willing TO help the libra
ry. hut they don't The women assum.
ed the burden and have been carrying
u with the meager help they have been
able TO beg Yet the library Is one Of
the most important institutions In the
city and closed the town harks back
TO the days Of It's beginnings when sa-
looms largely were the public forums,
bawdy houses the places OF popular so
cial diversion and gambling houses OF.
fered the excitement OF popular sports.
The county and city government IN
the past have been In the habit of Civ
ing pensions in the form of Jobs and
patronage 10 the decrepit and incom-
petent, why shouldn't they give a little
for books for the benefi, OF the chill
dren OF this community? Public mon
eys could he spent for nothing that
would mean more lasting benefit 10
this community. II Is time Deming
awakened to It's duties and set its feet
ON the road TO progress. Some folks
say a library isn't a necessity. But
who wants TO even listen 10 the puerile
sloeoering Of such nincompoops.
