Trend Of Sentiment Swings
To Griffith and the Rangers

Local republicans are very much,
pleased with the large attendance
At the rally TussdA, night and the
interest manifested. senator Rock
well. who Il candidate for lieuten-
ant governor. made . short address
and he was followed by BENJAMIN
Griffith who spoke for an hour and
. half. receiving the utmost atten-
tion from the large audience.
Mr.. Griffith IL not = spectacular
nor bombastfc speaker and his dis
course was an intelligent discussion
OF the issues Of the campaign, to-
getker with 4 comparison OF the re-
publican and democratic platforms.
He showed that the democratic plat
form IL silent ON the subject Of the
endorsement OF the dry law. while
the republican platform u unQuali-
fiedly In favor OF the rigid enforce
ment OF the prohibition laws.
Probably the most telling part Of
Mr.. 0rtffith's address WAS In his dis
-eDDsOs OA suS sosASCs oyoS0AAAs ~ 0Alu
vas the most complete and logical
OF any yet heard on that subject
during the campaign. The neces-
sity for . state police force similar
to the Northwest Mounted Police
OF Canada. the rangers Of Texas and
other states where the system has
been tried and proved highly effec-
tive: the manner Of payment OF the
rangers salaries by = tax upon In
corporations without adding one
cent to the levy made upon the In
dividual taxpayers: and above all
the fact that the rangers prevent
trouble before II has assumed great
proportions and thus avoiding loss
OF life and property. are some Of
the points made by the speaker in
support Of the rangers. A people
are becoming acquainted with the
a1vaatages of the ranger system,
the prejudice against Il is disap-
peariAg and this issue q expected

EDWARD 9. ABERNATHY
FOR SHERIFF

1t b reasonable to suppose that
in pursuance Of the practice Of our
beloved opponents In former years.
further and eleventh hour efforts
will be made to unjustly accuse and
besmirch the record of Edward 8.
Alternately In his candidature for
the office OF Sheriff Of Rio Grande
county.
To fully satisfy our readers, q
careful investigation in our behalf
was made OF the records In the
sheriff's office covering the fees In
the Ralph Cloyd case, this being
the prisoner who formerly resided
At Del Norte and who was extradit-
cd from California for wife deser-
tion.
In the first instance let Il be un-
derstood that the sheriff does not
make these trips OF his own volition
but under the orders of the district
attorney or the county commits
sioners.

Efficient Sheriff illustrates
Bold Jail Break at Del Norte

Aase cuuuay utSoS, ooOrtiy oltot
eleven o'clock. when the street
lights winked out In Del Norte, the
door Of the county jail was slowly
pushed open and two Of the pris-
oners effected their delivery to sup
posed freedom. Seemingly securs.
In the belief that their escape vaS
unknown, the prisoners known ~
slim" Strickland and Tom Martin,
convicted and sentenced on boot
Logging charges began hurried de-
parture from scenes probably frk-
some Of them and their friends.
At a sharp command from the Of
ficers to halt, the man Martin, with
a discretion the better part of valor,
elevated his hands. but Slim, this
being his second attempt to escape.
continued his flight. A well direct
ed shot pinked his locomotor ap-
paratus and he now languishes on
his cot bewailing his attempt at un-
lawful escape.
Il has always been the practice
of the present Sheriff Edward s.
Alternately to keep as close watch
over the jail when prisoners are
confined. as possible. and there arc
At present four men in the Jail con-
victed OF various offenses but two
OF them refused to join in the at
tempted jail break.
The surprising feature of the AZ
fair Is that SO little has become
known regarding the matter and
the reason is Undoubtedly that
nothing was said until a full inves-
tigation OF the affair could be made
and the outside parties connivine
at the Jail delivery could be ap-
pretended. Who passed the pris-
oners the saws. files and wrenchea
seems to be mystery but a rigid
inquiry vtn - doubf dnclese the
guilty parties and a. the laws Of
the State Of Colorado constitute
acts OF this character a felony. the
guilty parties are probably enjoying
the thrills Of fear and, impending
retributive justice.
In the last analysis II can be said
that II the jail delivery was plan
ned for political purposes and speci-
fically for the purpose OF inflaminG
public sentiment to the point of de-
feating Sheriff Edward s. Aber-
nathy for reelection next Tuesday.
1t was IA dastardly attempt and tho
more reprehensible and criminally
unjust to an efficient and deserv-
ing officer.
We are informed that the plot

Three DOs5ie Holidays This Year.

During the last two years, Father
Time has been generous with his hoH-
days Last year and year before last
there were five double holidays, be-
cause New Years Day, Memorial
Day, Fourth of July. Labor Day, and
Christmas all fell on either Sunday
or Monday, and both days were cele-
brated
This year there will be only three
double holidays, New Years, Labor
Day and Christmas. and next year we
must 90 back to observing only one
day for each OF these holidays. Me-
mortal Day will come on Tuesday, as
will also the Fourth of July, and
Washingtou's birthday will be cele-
brated on Wednesday.
However, there are hopes of one
more double holiday in 1922, as Ar
mistiee Day falls on Saturday. There
has been much discussion regarding
the national observance of this day,
and the suggestion has been made
that the date for Thanksgiving be
changed to coincide with Armislice
Day, so that both occasions can be
observed at the same time.
Easter will come the third week in
April when the first signs of spring
will be appearing. Unless an unlocked
for blizzard comes, as it sometimes
does, Easter hats and suits will be
very much in evidence on that day.
Ash Wednesday comes on March 1st
Good Friday on April IA, and Easter
sunday on April IS.
Two eelipses of the sun are sched-
uled to appear in 1922, one on March
q, which will be invisible in the Uni
ted States except in Florida, and one
on September q, entirely invisible in
this country.
Venus will be the morning star I'M
Ill February Q, and the evening star
until November %; Mars can be seen
in the morning until June 10, and
during the remainder of the year, it
will appear in the evening; Jupiter
is scheduled to appear in the morning
until April 4. and in the evening until
October "a. while Saturn will be the
morning star until March % and ev-
ening star until October 4.
Each month during the year has its
anniversaries of births and deaths of
noted persons. some of which will be
observed in certain sections of the
country, or by certain groups. One of
the outstanding anniversaries is the
centennial of the birth of General
Ulysses s. Grant, who was born on
April y, 1922.
