BURsUM AND THE BONUS

Senator H. 0. Bursum, speaking
in behalf Of the Soldiers Bonus Bill,
made an eloquent plea on the floor
of the Senate on August 25. Quoting
in par. from the Congressional Rec
ord, the junior Senator said:
'In my judgment, the chief object
of this bill is TO refund to the SER
vice men that which Congress
wrongfully withheld from them, to
provide for a just restitution of that
which honestly and equitably is due
them under all rules Of justice, fair
play and a square deal, I cannot
agree with the opponents OF this
legislation that the. proposed set
tlement of payments should be con-
sidered in the nature of a gift or that
it is an attempt to cheaper patriot
ism, Of the soul for that Of the dol
lar, or TO cOmmercialize the loyalty
of Americanism. These premises
are false, fatty and entirely unten-
able in the face of recorded facts
Mr.. President, during the dark
hours of 1917, after nearly the whole
Of Europe, with the exception Of a
very few neutral countries, had been
engaged in the bloodiest war and
history; when great Russia had col
lapsed and the powerful British anC
brave French people were fighting

HERzSTEIN SAYS YOU
MUST CONCENTRATE 500

Not everyone may divorce them
selves from their business for a
period of three months and take a
vacation. Not everyone would care
to do that, and should they, not ev-
eryone would avail themselves Of the
opportunity to hear the best author
tiles on the biggest problems of the
day, and then bring that same best
back to the friends in the home town
who appreciate it, because, tho they
cannot enjoy The same experience
they may have given them this valu-
able information
Herzsten did this very thing He
absorbed all the best that was to
be given from the best minds in the
east and yesterday in Rotary took
twenty minutes to unlock his store
house and give the Rolarians some
gems Of truth that will assist them
to go forward in a greater spirit of
optimism.
Mr. Herzstein did moi tell the club
that he had made the thousands of
miles of his trip east in his Light
Six without any trouble. The men
who heard the address would not
have been interested, even their
humble jitneys might have done the
same, but Sim did say:
"No man can make success Of
his business unless he gives at least
80 per cent Of his time, 60 per cent
of concentration. GO per cent Of him
self. The business condition of to-
day has been caused by men in bust
ness, dividing their capital which is
made up Of both dollars and energy,
and in making So many investments
in so many different lines of bust
ness, that neither in money or one
self could you concentrate 60 per
cent, which is the minimum for sue
cess
Mr.. Herzsten IS right. He brought
back % Clayton from his visit to
Philadelphia and other eastern cit
les something more than the mere
recital of good time and splen-
did yacaLion-he brought back with
him and gave to Clayton Rotary a
real. live, vital message.

ORGANIZATION POSTPONED

Because a number of counties had
not been organized and did not send
delegates to the meeting in Alhu-
querque on August 28th, called for
the purpose of forming a statewide
Republican Women's Association, it
was decided TO leGye the matter of
the permanent organization in abey-
anCc until after the Republican State
Convention had adjourned
Temporary officers to carry on
the preliminary work of the associa-
ton were elected, as follows: Mrs.
George w. Pritchard, of Santa Fe,
President: Mrs. w. C. Reid. of Al
Iquerque, Vice President Mrs. r. J.
Lawler, Of albuquerque, Secretary.
Temporary committees on arrange
menls, bylaws, credentials, public

II is confidently expected that
each county will have delegate al

HURLEY AND WIKOFF
ENTERTAIN ROTARIANS

For the regular luncheon last
week, doc" Hurley and Tin Lizzie
Wikoff invited the Rotarians with
all their old mining and oil stock to
meet at the home of Doc on Pine
street, 10 enjoy the spirit Of Rotary
which means good fellowship, and
to improve their game by practice,
and incidentally to find some use
for their old oil and mining stock,
that was valuable only as a filler
OF space in their various safety de-
post boxes and other hiding places.
The meeting was practically 100
per cent in attendance, and 100 per
cent plus in real Rotary enjoyment.
Every effort had been put forth to
make this the best meeting Of the
year, and from the report of attend
ing Rotarians doc" and Lizzie" are
the premier entertainers of the Club.
The evening was spent in playing
games and in a general good social
time. The men who make up the
roster of the local Rotary Club are
taken from the real live business
men of the town. The one regret
of all Rotarians is that all business
men are not eligible to membership,
Rotary providing only for one mem
ber from each profession or bust
ness.
Rotary in Clayton has brought the
business interests into a close rela-
tionship, one with the other but-it
is only in its infancy. Years hence,
il will show a marked advancement
inasmuch as the spirit Of Rotary
is the spirit of service, and no man
can be a Rotarian without helping
to better his community

THE OATH OF A CITIZEN

A mans pride in his city re-
calls the Athenian Oath, which
was taken by every young man
of ancient Athens when he came
of age and was registered as a
citizen. It was this;
1--WE will never bring disgrace
on this, our city, by any act of
dishonesty or cowardiCe.
I'VE will fight for the ideals
and sacred things Of the city, both
alone and with many.
We will revere and obey the
city's laws, and we will do our
best to incite a like reverence
and respect in those above us who
are prone to anuul them or set
them at naught. We will strive
increasingly to quicken the pub
lies sense of civic duty.
Thus, in all these ways, we will
transmit the city, not only less,
but greater, better, and more
beautiful than il was transmitted
to US.

SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE WRECK
ON CLAYTON TEXLTNE ROAD

Ray Track ard a Mr.. Williams
were present at the Rodeo in Clay
ton Tuesday driving a rebuilt Ford
car On leaving Clayton about 1900
o'clock ?. NJ, on the hill immediate
ly east of town, had trouble with
their lights and pulling out to the
side Of the road endeavored TO right
the difficulty.
Berlis kits accompanied by Eliza
Hull, James Alton Poss. and Joseph
inc Adams, driving a Ford touring
ear at a good speed, smashed the
car of Ray Track, turning both cars
a complete somersault and killing
the Hull girl instantly, and seriously
if not fatally iujuring Josephine
Adams, Ray Track and Bertis kits,
the Poss boy getting out of the
scramble with just a few minor
scratches.
AT the time of writing this article
those injured seem to be slightly i'm
proving, and some hope is held out
for their recovery.
This is one of the saddest affairs
in the history of the Clayton com
munity, possibly the greatest tragedy
in the lives of the families affected
by this catastrophe. The young
people in the touring car were all
pupils of The Clayton schools, well
known and highly respected by ev-
eryone There are many different
versions of the story, but the one
that seems TO be nearest authentic
is, that the girls had made previous
arrangements to go driving with the
boys in the evening, provided they
would be able to make such ar
rangements that would enable them
to get away from home.
Some objection had been register
ed by Mr.. Adams to his daughter
keeping company with young Poss,
therefore this objection being known
the girl had secured consent Ia
spend the evening at the home of a
neighbor while the folks were at
church. Eliza Hull, who had been
attending church at the Tabernacle
each evening in company with her
mother, had remained at home, stat
ing that she was too tired TO go to
church. When the mother asked
her if she was going anywhere, she
answered her that she would be al
home when the mother returned.
The boys were then called and
Immediately went after the girls, in
tending TO have a short drive and
return home before services at the

CLAYTON HOME RODEO
SUCCESSFUL

Clayton's Home Rodeo was sue
cess From the cowpunchers Of I'm
ion and adjoining counties to the
real dignified business man Of Clay
ton and other towns, good fellowship
reigned supreme and with a record
breaking crowd the rodeo has been
with the name of its managers,
Ralph Morledge and w. L. Harrell,
inscribed in Clayton's history with
the word successful written I'M
mediately thereafter.
For many years it has been pro-
posed to have a ROdeo that would
limit contestants to a certain local
area, but this has never been tried
ont until this year, because it has
always met with strong opposition.
Messrs. Harrell and Morledge this
year assumed all responsibilities for
the success of the Rodeo, and open
ed it only to local contestants. II
was a success financially and other
wise. The people had two whole
days of real entertainment and the
management has met all obligations
financially, and has a balance on the
right side Of the ledger
II is rather early to make predic-
tions, hut from the achievements Of
the present management this year,
we see a larger and more extensive
program for the people of Clayton
and Union county next season.

Gentlemen:
Yours of July ~, with reference
to the erection Of public buildings
for Post Offices etc. received.
The Recommendation of the Post
master General that Congress ap-
proprate a sufficient sum for the
establishment of Post Offices in all
towns and cities of any reasonable
size. will no doubt receive serious
consideration during the next Con
gress. but the matter will not be
considered during the present ses-
sion, and when the proper time
comes ! will do the very best l can
TO look after the interest Of our
New Mexico cities and towns and
shall not overlook Clayton.
Very truly yours,
H. o. BURSUM.
The Chamber Of Commerce might
well take this matter up with the
Senator, so that Clayton might be
included in the building plans for
next year.
With the post office here an inn
portant one, and the retention Of the
land office, both being in rented
quarters, no difficulty would be EN-
countered in convincing the proper
governmental departments that il
would be a real saving TO erect a
government building at Clayton az
soon as possible.
