MARSHALL WOODS
SENT UP FOR LIFE.

The trial of Marshall Woods, in the
Circuit court, for killing his brother
in-law, w. B. Lindsey, early on the
morning of the 9th Of last month
May-resulted last Saturday morning
in the verdict of Murder in the first
degree, with mitigating circumstan-
ces," with the penalty Of imprison-
ment for life.
The jury was composed of citizens
R. f. Lee, John Cawthon, j. Y. Ander-
son, w. C. Crook, C. r. Darlington,
w. C. Johnson, j. L. Fuller, S. R.
Veteto, j. W. Newman, j. L. Hart,
H. w. Wilson and W. A. Rhodes. The
prosecution was conducted by Attor-
ney- General Hu C. Anderson assist
ed by Judge W. F. Appleby. Hon. E,
W. Essary conducted the defense and
those who heard him say he made the
fight of his life to save the prisoner,
but he, reviewing the evidence, like
the witnesses forWoods, failed to con-
vince the jury either that Woods was
mentally unbalanced or that he COM
mitted the deed in self-defense.
Woods and his 15-year-old daugh-
ter both testified that Lindsey was
killed in self defense. Will Garner
heard the shot and from the distance
of 81 steps, saw Lindsey fall on the
porch.
Woods had often said, we are in
formed that Bill Lindsey was the best
friend he had. Bill Lindsey had the
reputation of being a good man-and
good men do not wantonly kill or try
to kill, especially one whom they have
helped along for years. The verdict
seems to be just one and Woods has
done well to escape the electric chair.

BOSWELL CASE
DECISION AFFIRMED.

The Court of Civil Appeals has af-
firmed the decision of the lower court
in the Boswell damage suit against
the N. c. & St. l.. Railway Company,
sustaining the verdict of $l2,500. This
case was fought out by Hon. John F.
Hall-hence was not accompanied by
the enormous expense incurred in the
Unidentified case. Had the young man
who lost his life in the occurrence
which brought on the suit (Fielder
Boswell) been recognized for his
worth, his earning capacity might
have soon been in one year, half as
much as the damages allowed for his
killing.

THE PURPOSE OF A NEWSPAPER.

An honest expression from the editors of the
United States of their views on the purpose OF a
newspaper would make interesting reading
II these opinions were really sincere, the range
would be rather large. The great majority would
say to supply the public with the news-"th
reservations. Some would frankly say, TO serve
such causes as the owner wishes Others would SAY
to mould public opinion-neglecting perhaps, ~
say who is to supply the mould Many would say
to aid my political party
The Journal has a greater purpose in lie than
TO supply the news. This must be supplied, oil
course without coloring to fit any policy Ed
torial opinion must be confined to the editorial
columns The news must be unbiased.
Our primary purpose is to help New MEXICO
and her people in every way possible. We wish
TO advance every laudable which will add to
the prosperity of her citizens We wish to lead in
acquiring teamwork and fine public spirit we
wish to aid In bringing better schools and bot
ter educated people.
But we desire, above ALL to awaken people to
the duties of citizenship; to inspire men to curb
their selfish desires for the public good; to help
bring into being standards of civic righteous
ness; to see even hand justice hold sway in our
good state. We wish to advocate always, equality
of opportunity-and to use club on those who
are unwilling to grant it without coercion.

THE FoRE1GN.BoRN PATRIOT.

In his all-American day address delivered
Thursday by General Pershng, he pointed out
that in his experience as commander in the
Philippines in Mexico and in France, he had fire.
quently found that foreign born Americans had
been more enthusiastic in their patriotism than
Americans of several generations of new-word
traditions.
There is, of course, obvious explanation OF
this seeming contradiction. The man who has
Just come from an oppressed European country,
whose father came to the United States from
abroad, is really better able to appreciate Amer
Jean traditions and institutions than the man
whose ancestors came here long ago as to cause
him TO take his American heritage for granted.
There is no better American citizen than the
man who has recently to America because he
loves her traditions, and who has absorbed those
traditions. And there is American citizen
than the alien who has come here for venal rea-
sons and who is loyal TO his native land as
against America
4. General Pershng has quarrel with the for
or some of the customs OF his mother country No
one insists that America is perfect Along esthotic
and artistic lines still have far to co. although
we can go farther IL citizens busy themselves
improving what they find here rather than regret
fully longing for what they left behind. It is these
very foreign born citizens of that help
up in this progress, in exchange for the funda-
mental blessings that America is giving them
The duty. however, is not only on one side.

pests would be IN special danger this season.
The American people have. permitted pests to
gain tremendous foothold by failure to protect
birds that destroy these harmful ms ects Recent
legislation favorable to birds has help cd keep the
pests down, but the older people say there are not

useful birds is stopped, the damage done by pests
will be reduced to a minimum

JUST FOLKS
THE THIRTEENTH HOLE AT DALLAS.
Copyright. 1921. by Edgar 4, Guest. }

I've tackled many problem worked out by
Donald Ross,
I've had high hills to shoot at and lakes to
drive across.
I've fought my way through bunkers which try
all gofing souls,
And l thought l had encountered the meanest
golfing holes;
But l bumped in one in Texas to BATTLE shark
' or dub.
The thirteenth hole at Dallas, of the Dallas
Country Club.
1t slopes towards a river, and the river winds
and bends,
And tile stream is so contrary that, it hasn't
any friends;
There is trouble all around you, from the tee
up to the green,
And for downright cussed meanness, it's the
meanest hole I've SEEM
It's golf ball cemetery, of confusion it's the
hub
Is that thirteenth hole at Dallas. of the Dallas
Country Club.
Now / face the future calmly and there's moth
ing more / dread.
Ditches bunkers barancas, I'll not care what
lies ahead;
There is no distress before me like the grief
which lies behind,
I'll meet any golfing peril with calm and
tranquil mind,
For there cannot DO another hole for mortal
men to flub
Like that thirteenth hole at Dallas of the
Dallas Country Club
