A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

In the election OF Holm O. Bursum
by a plurality OF between 6,O0O and
1900 votes the people OF New Mexico
have conferred a vote OF confidence
and appreciation upon their most able
statesman, generous citizen and loyal
friend and servant.
incidentally il is also a vote of o n
fidence in the National Administra-
ton which idaS been engaged in clear
ing away the distractions of war leg
i%slatiou, extravaganza and inefficient
management, and has Just about reach
ed the point where new and cOnstruc-
tive legislation can be put into effect,
and practical methods substituted for
the wastcful theoretical procedure OF
the past eight years,
Lastly, it is also a vote OF confid-
ence in Governor Merritt {. Mccheln
for his wisdom and foresight, in sell
Getting ior the temporary appointment
to the United States Senate, the man
whom the people unquestionably de-
sired 10 represent them in that. the
most powerful legislative body in the
world, at this time.
Senator Bursum, had he so desired,
might have served out the entire un-
expired term of Senator Fall, or until
the next general election, under the
commission OF Governor Mechem, but
this 'he steadfastly refused to do in
sisting that the people of New Mex
leo should be given an opportunity
to make their own selection at the
election fixed for the submission Of
the several constitutional amendments.
He goes back to the United States
Senate with the assurance that the
people appreciate the extensive SER
vice HE has already rendered during
the four months he was there, and
with their mandate to continue to
labor to secure the just share of ma
tional recognition to which this state,
and other states OF the west are en-
titled, and which they 'have not here
tofore been accorded in proportion to
their needs, or to the extent which
their undeveloped resources require,
That Senator Bursum is willing to
undertake and able to accomplish the
enactment of such beneficial legisla-
ton, no one who has any conception
of his diligence and pursu%asiyeness,
when in contact with other able men,
will doubt.
The election of Mr.. Bursum is a
distinct advantage to New MeicXo and
the West-incidentally an apprecia-
ton of an able, forceful, but kindly
and loyal character.

mission, L. A. G%illett, state highway
engineer, other highway officials, and
the New Mexico Auto Club. Over
two hundred and fifty thousand piec-
es OF printed matter, issued for the
information of the people of the state,
were sen out, Mr., Gillett campaign
ed nearly all of the state and Mr..
Springer a part of it. This in itself
was a fine thing for the road program
as it brought the officials into direct
personal contact with the people OF
all parts of the state and gave them
an opportunity to learn the desires
and requirements of the latter.
The amendment which would have
limited school expenditures has been
decisively defeated, State Superinten-
dent John V, Conway lead the opposi-
ton TO this proposition and deserves
credit for his persistent fight as well
as for his fidelity to the schools. He
was ably assisted by teachers and
school officials in nearly every COM
munity in the state.
The amendment which sought to
create a commission of three office
holders to conduct the state land Of
flee instead of one executive was also
dccisively defeated. This is a vote
of confidence in the present manage
ment of the office, and what is more
important an endorsement of the
splendid policy under which our state
lands are bringing in one hundred
thousand dollars every month for the
benefit Of our schools and colleges.
The amendment which permits an
exemption of 5000 worth of property
of soldiers of past wars, the one which
gives women an equal right with men
to hold office and the one which pre-
vents Asiatics from owning land in
this state, all seem to have carried by
small margins.
The position of the State Record on
all six of these amendments was ex-
actly in line with the vote of the
people. We started The fight against
the school limitation on March Is,
about a month before the teachers
themselves denounced it, and advocat-
ed the adoption of the road bond am
cndment several weeks before the
State Wide Auto Club was organized,
the highway officials undertook
any active and public support of the
PROPOSAL.

EUROPEAN COMPETITORS

Mr.. William M. Wood, president of
the American Wooden Company, has
just returned from an investigation of
European industrial conditions, and he
declares that "the United States is
on the firmest foundation of any ma
ton in the world and it is good t.
get back here where industries are
busy" Speaking of England, Mr..
Wood says:
England instead of muddling is loaf
ing. The streets of London and of
Glasgow are full of unemployed men.
There seems to be a reluctance to
work which is paralyzing industries
all over England and Scotland. The
workmen are holding out for high
wages instead of following the ex-
ample of the Germans and getting to
work, even at reduced wages. Mills,
including those of the textile indus
tries, are idle all over the English
isles.
France is being hampered at the
present time by the serious drouth
which is daily cutting down crop es-
Inmates and stagnating other industry
because of the torrid weather which
prevails, the worst which France has
seen in many years.
Neither France nor England is fol-
the example of industry that
Germany has set. In France the peo-
pie have adopted a fatalistic attitude
of mind which is causing them to
muddle along aimlessly, trusting that
the future will bring prosperity. The
peasants, however, are as
as they were in pre-war days
and are laying a foundation of saw
ing and thrift which will be of great
assistance to the nation"
Concluding, Mr.. Wood asserts that
the only thing the wooden industry
in this country will have to watch
now is competition from Europe, prac-
Germany, where wages are but
a fractional part of what they are
Adequate protection will meet
This situation.

"LIMITATION", NOT "DISARMA'
MENT"

Disarmament has a more far
reaching meaning than limitation OF
ornaments" 1t is so revolutionary
in fact, that the approaching Wash
ington conference will probably not
touch upon it at all. The invitation
to the five powers was TO attend a
conference on the limitation of arm
amcnts, and if the meeting accom-
plishcs n substantial degree of linn
itation il will have achieved its pur-
pose.
Few people have in mind anything
. but navies when they speak of arm
aments, but the truth is that limita-
ton of battlcship construction will not
prove the only, or even the principal,
subject of discussion of the confer
enccs. The development of gas war
fare and attack from the air have
reached sue h stages they either or
both may be the principal weapons
of offense in the mex war. Further
more, the limitation OF their growth
is a practical problem OF extreme diff
ficulty. II is comparatively easy TO
enforce an agreement that restricts
TO a certain number or size the con-
struction of warships. They are large
affairs, their building takes many
months and the fact that they were
under construction could hardly be
kept secret II any OF the five pow
ers violated its agreement in respect
of naval ornaments it would be a
fact easily proven and appropriate
steps could be taken by the other par
ties 10 the compact.
In the case OF a%irplanes and poison
ga il is far different. A nation may
agree not to build any more war
planes but il could be an easy matter
TO convert commercial planes into
members OF an air fleet and il would
not be difficult TO extend government
al aid TO commercial air enterprises,
which would apparently be above sus-
picion but actually a violation of the
arms agreement. The same is true
to a less degree of poison gas. There
is slight difference in methods OF man.
ufacture between war gas and various
chemical compounds of commerce. A
country disposed TO evade a pact not
10 manufacture poison gases might see
10 IT that large quantities Of their in
gradients or the equipment for their
manufacture were stored IN for i'm
mediate use in an emergency.

ABUSE NOT U

The campaign of malice and per-
version conducted by Messrs Gut
ting and Johnson in their Santa Fe
New Mexican, and made public by
the Democratic Campaign Committee
through its use in advertisements in
various newspapers in the state, was
disdained by the voters on last Tues

the citizens of Santa Fe incidentally
expressed their contempt for the me-
thods employed and the motives ex-
posed by the New Mexican's cam

the case if we were to attempt to re-

is desirable from our point of view
that the Finance Committee of the
Senate be able to sit continuously
without being called to the Senate
chamber to answer their names, so
that they may be able to report the
tax bill and the tariff bill early to the
Senate. 1t is highly desirable for that
reason that the Congress take a re-
cess. Gentlemen say that the pro-

Why Buried Glass pisIntearates.

The bureau of standards says thai
glass would slowly disintegrafe wher
suried in moist soil. The action or
the glass would be due primarily tt
water and alkali. The disintegratinf
action would vary with the compost

conditions that obtained in the soil
This action would probably be ex

DUKE CITY FLOCKS TO
RODEO WILD STEERS BEST
BULLDOCCERS FAST WORK

albuquerque, Sept. 23.- Bulldoggers
and ponies proved a poor second to
the Mexican steers, shipped in from
across the border, during the first
day of the Tri-state roundup at Hun
ming pasture. Manager Garrett claim
ed before the cattle arrived that they
would be the speediest and hardest to
throw seen this year in a cowboy con-
test. His prophecy proved correct.
The horses couldn't catch them and
the boys couldn't throw them in any
thing like fair time.
Billy West of Tucumcari, cham
pion New Mexico cowboy, steaked
one of the big horns across the arena
for what looked like a goal. He caught
him in less than 100 yards and threw
him in a second, but when he went to
raise his hand the steer raised too
and it was nip and tuck. Billy, how
ever, COPIED first money. This was
the only steer caught this side Of Isle
ia. Reports at midnight were that one
of the boys was still chasing his.
The steers were heavy and most OF
the bulldoggers were saving their best

a spill is the exciting part of a round

PART FIVE


"You see," remarked Holmes, as
we paced TO and fro in front OF the
house, "this marriage rather simpI-
fies matters. The photograph becomes
a double-edged weapon now. The
chances are that she would be as
averse to it's being seen by Mr.. God
frey Norton, as our client Is to Its
coming to the eyes OF his princess.
Now the question is, where are we to
find the photograph"
Where indeed?"
1T is most unlikely that she carries
it about with her. 1t is cabinet size.
Too large for easy concealment about
a woman's dress. She knows that the
King is capable of having her waylald
and searched. Two attempts of the
sort have already been made. We
may take it, then. that she does not
carry it about with her"
Where, them"
Her banker or her lawyer. There
is that double possibility. But I am
inclined to think neither. Women are
naturally secretive, and they like to
do their own secreting. Why should
she hand it over to anyone else? She
could trust her own guardianship, but
she could not tell what indirect or
political influence might be brought to
bear upon a business man. Besides
remember that she had resolved to
use it within few days. 1t must be
in her own house"
But it has twice been burgled."
"Pshaw! They did not know how
to look"
But how will you look?"
Il will not look
What them"
Il will get her to show me-"
But she will refuse"
She will not be able to. But hea;
