THE "NEw" MEXICO.

1.-THE hundredth anniversary of Mexico's indie
pendence from Spain will be observed with all the
fanfare and pageantry Of Old Mexico" September
II to october H. feature of the celebration being
great International commercial exposition"
The quoted clauses are taken from an advertise
ment addressed to American manufacturers who are
asked to exhibit their goods "in the magnificent
national legislative palace $4,000 900 building
covering two city blocks 1t will attract every busl-
ness in Mexico"
We hope that the centennial celebration will be
grand success and that 1t will mark the resump-
ton OF good relations between that country and the
United States, founded upon re-awakened Next
can conscience.
The advertisement says: 1.-THE Mexico of today
was born without a memory. The has can
celed the law OF vested rights. An eager nation Is
measuring off centuries in two three five-year
lengths. The present generation is busy with to-
days achievements and tomorrow's projects it has
no time to remember the closed book of yesterday"
There is just the trouble. Mexico would go too
fast Yesterday not be forgotten. Obligations
undertaken yesterday should be discharged today.
Americans would put no obstacles in the way of
Mexicos rehabilitation. But must urge upon
Mexico being honest well enterprising. When
canceling the law of vested rights stealing
friends property hardly expect the friend
cheerfully to extend helping hand. Nevertheless
we should not resort to coercion.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Corn gained Nc to IS to 1c, and

provisions the outcome varied
from15c decline to 27c advance.
At first the wheat market show
ed a tendency to continue yester-
days fall In prices, but conditions
were speedily reversed when signs
began to appear that substantial
buying orders were beng executed
both for European shipment and
for the milling industry at home.
Strong export demand as far ahead
as November was indicated at the
gulf and it was said 1000, 900
bushels had been worked for ex-
port from Atlantic cities. Mean
while the milling demand was as
ISOLATED with word from Minne-
apolis that good business in flour
was under way. In addition, crop
reports from North Dakota were
unfavorable, and low temperatures
in Canada gave rise to fear of frost
damage. Highest prices of the day

Corn as we'll as wheat was in
much request for export. A Lead

September corn on a big scale.
Oats merely reflected the course of

NOVA sCoTJA--HAPPY LAND.

The premier of Nova Scotia has just celebrated
the completion of his twenty-fifth consecutive year
in that office This silver jubilee is something of
Henry Murray, K. c. and his six triumphant general
elections, one wonders why this perennial bloom OF
power has not teen observed more conspicqously.
So often man may be heard to explain his fu-
tility in public office by citing the public indffer-
ence which retires him his task be done, or
even begun Here is a statesman who has had a
quarter of century. which is long time. Babies
men with families; generation of public men
has passed away. What has George Henry Murray,
K c., to his credit In return for the public conf
dence, uninterrupted for quarter of century.
He has given Nova Scotia first class agricul-
tural college which has become the center of modern
agricultural education in the maritime provinces.
He inaugurated complete system of technical edu-
cation for Industrial workers and tradesmen. cul-
minating in the establishment of technical college
at Halifax, the first state owned institution of its
kind in North America.
He has given government aid to railroad con-
struction and has made elaborate plan for high
ways. He has instituted many. measures for gen.
trail education. compensation for workmen aiding
the sick. afflicted and helpless members of the
munity, and he has made special point of attract
ing industrial enterprise toward the fine mineral
resources Of the province.
In fact, George Henry Murray reads like a rein
carnation of Father Madeleine, who in his renais-
sance was almost too good to be true. No ever
hears very much about Nova Scotia. They must be
happy there.

PRESERVING THE PEACH
AND PEAR.

Last week / gave some directions
for preserving peaches - but one
could write almost endlessly on
canning and preserving this delici-
Gus fruit! / therefore offer the
following additional peach recipes
together with some pear recipes:
Peach Marmalade: Put whole
peaches into a cheesecloth bag and
over them into boiling water for
from 1 to minutes, after which
plunge the bag into cold water for
a second; the skins may then be
rubbed off. Halve and stone the
fruit, then weigh it. For every
pound set aside pound of sugar,
to be added later. Put the weighed
fruit pulp with few finely chop
ped kernels (for flavor) into the
agate preserving kettle which has
been moistened inside with cold
water to prevent the peach pulp
from sticking to it. Heat slowly,
MASKING with wooden or agate
spoon. Stir constantly to avoid
burning. When the pulp Is soft
and thick, 1t is time to add the SUI
gar which you previously meas
ured and set aside. Boil slowly I'M
til the Juice is jelly-like when a
little is put on a plate, or until two
drops will form at once on spoon
when a little of the Juice Is held
high In the air and dripped back
into the kettle. Then pour into
hot, sterilized glasses, let cool, and
cover with melted paraffine.
Stuffed Picked Peaches: Good
to have on hand for a guest meal J
Wash medium sized peaches and
take out stones; cover them with
rather strongly sailed water and, let
them stand over night. In the
morning fill the centers (where the
stones were with grated aoc9e-
radish which has been mixed with
a very little celery seed and very
small pieces of ginger root. Tie
each stuffed peach firmly with
white string land pack into hot,
sterilized jars. Pour over them
vinegar which has been boiled five
minutes with a bag of spices and
with sugar to suit Individual taste.
Seal jar while hot.
Clipped Ginger Pears: Wipe s
pounds of Bartlett pears, remove
stems. quarter and core; then cut
into thin, small chips. Add to these
chips pounds Of granulated sugar
ond Ia pound of Canton ginger
finely cut up; let this mixture
stand over night and in the morn
ing add lemons cut into snail
pieces (seeds rejected). Put into
the preserving kettle and cook
slowly for 3 hours, then turn into
hot, sterilized jelly glasses. let cool,
and cover with melted paraffine.
To Can Bartlett Pears: Pare,
halve and core the fruit. Pack 1t
closely in hot. sterilized Jars, add
ing tablespoon of lemon Juice to
each quart Jar. Pour over the pears
a medium-thick syrup made by
boiling quarts OF water and 2
quarts of granulated sugar together
for 10 minutes. Have this syrup
come to within one-quarter inch Of
Jar top, then adjust sterilized glass
caps over rubbers which have been
dipped swiftly into hot water. and
partially seal: sterilize for 20 min
utes under boiling water. then COM

ATTEND THE CAUCUS.

The announcement, that the state conventions Of
both political parties to nominate senatorial can
didates, is less less than a week away will come
as a shock to most voters. The whole thing is upon
us. with almost nothing having been said about It.
Senator Bursum will be nominated by the re-
pubcans. If there is avowed democratic can
didate, do not know of It,
The purpose in saying this is to direct public
attention to one of New Mexicos, worst political
evils. We refer to that Conspiracy of silence" of
which we have so often spoken. Were this election
in any other state in the union, there would be
avowed candidates both tickets, issuing mani
festoes and making speeches-telling of their pro-
gram and their plans for improving conditions in
the state. There would be an effort to secure the
nomination the basis of what the candidate
stands for, instead of upon his ability to manipulate
delegates.
1t has been impossible up to this time to bring
preliminary campaigns to the surface and give the
people a chance to nominate man based upon his
policies This will continue as long as there is no
primary law in the state. With such law the peo-
pie will no longer 'buy cat in SACK when they
nominate.
There is issue between candidates at this hour.
AS result there is public apathy about the whole
matter. People will not bother to attend their party
to select delegates. The old rings will rule
and select your candidates.
Things can not grow better in New Mexico I'M
der such system. The people not in control
OF their own government
1t Is the duty of men and women who love their
state and hope for decency, to attend these party
caucuses and select the very best men and women
as delegates 1t is the duty of these delegates to
fight in the conventions for party platform which
will commit their party and their candidate to a
constructive program. These platforms will largely
Influence the Independent voter in his course.

SELLING OUR SOUL.

Life is very funny proposition after ALL" as
Raymond Hitchcock says gentleman offered to
buy $4,000 worth Of bonds from If we would
agree not to support Bursum. We declined the
offer and made editorial mention of its tender a
Bursum business man called and offered to form
pool to buy $4,000 worth of bonds If we would
agree to support Bursum. We declined this also.
Yesterday a prominent democrat called us to
his office and showed message from demo-
cratic friend of Secretary Falls who offered to buy
$4,000 worth of bonds and loan $4,000 for a
year. II we would advocate this gentlemans nomi-
nation by the democrats and support him If nom

by selling our soul" to those who have a special
motive In controlling policy.
In that event we would become political harlot.

A PLEA FOR THE EAGLE.

There is merit in the proposal of T. Gilbert Pear
son, president of the National Association of Audu-
bon societies. that the killing Of bald eeagles In
Alaska be stopped until careful investigation has
disclosed whether the birds deserve death. Alaska
is the last remaining place owned by the United
States where the bald eagle symbol of American
independence is to be found in large numbers, and
there is likelihood that it will be exterminated
there unless the warfare now being waged against
the Nd is ended. On the ground that as preda-
tory creature 1t destroys animal life which would be
of value to mankind the territorial government is
paying bounty for each eagle killed, and Mr. Pear
son says he has information that bounties have
been paid already on 5000.
Now scientific investigation has shown that birds
and mammals supposed to be injurious sometimes
DO more good than harm and that 1T is mistake to
exterminate them. they play an important part
In maintaining the equilibrium of nature, and when
the balance is disturbed mischief results. Thus it
has been found in certain localities that after the

New York, Aug. 11.-Encour-
aged by the success of yesterday
drive, spectators for the short ac-
count renewed their operations to-
day and brought about a further
decline.
Trading was more active and the
downward movement proceeded
steadily. An attempt late In the
day to drive the shorts to cover
failed to halt the recession and the
closing was weak. Sales amounted
to $4,000 shares.
New low prices for the year were
reached by number of issues. in

Although railroad stocks sold off
with the remainder of the list,
heaviness was most pronounced
among the, industrials. Coppers,
oils, equipments, motors and sugars
responded readily to pressure. The
semi-annual earnings statement of
General Asphalt, showing deficit
of more than 100000, was the oc-
casion for selling these shares,
forcing down the common and pre-
ferred about five points each.
Sentiment was decidedly bearish
but the day brought. no develop
ments to account for Sthe trend of
quotations. Trading continued to
be largely In the hands Of profes-
SIGNALS, to whom the short side
seemed for the time being to offer
the most attractive possibilities.
Apparently they met with greater
success than on any day recently
in forcing real stock on the market.
The downward movement in
sterling exchange was halted. De-
mand bills crossed $3.50 late In the
day, with sympathetic improve
ment in all other rates. Call money
continued to hold at 6 per cent, but
there was a sensible stiffening of
quotations for time funds. with Of

A break of more than three
points in Cuba Cane Sugar rs was
the feature of the bond market.

into the kitchen to make a rare
bit.

just as though we had already
bought our site. "Pll help you
plan the house, Jim, so you could
save the expense of an architect"
He had the supreme egotism of the
amateur house builder.

age. The governor says that mature deliberation

when he advocated the adoption Of the amendment
We congratulate the governor upon his frankness

We are not in sympathy with those who charge
the governor with political motives. He, doubtless

attitude would have hurt Senator Bursum Bur-
