THE ONLY WAY
Prevention is better than cure,
thouh it does not so often get in
the mners Lots of people are ad
vertising sure remedies for colds
erysipilas and lame backs, but
not once in a coon's age do they
tell us how to avoid these afflic
tions. ' There are two kinds of mis
takes that auto drivers make at
railroad crossings. Some motp-rists-a
large number of them in
fact fail to remember where they
are; They know the fatal result
of being hit by a train of cars,
but do not keep that idea in ac
tive circulation To know a lot
of things is great, but to profit
by what we know is better yet.
To think about trains when
you drive near a crossing is the
natural thing but by no means
the usual thing, one is led to be
lieve when he reads about daily
disasters at railroad crossings.
It is harder to forgive the er
ror of the driver who tries to
beat his way ahead of a train.
The other kind is dreamy and
mentally sluggish, but this one
is as wide awake as a chicken
i i .i i n i i A- j hum'm
nawK ana Knows au wat i gumg
on.
Probably in one more genera
tion it will surprise and shock
people to read that in the year
1921, over, 5,000 folks men,
women and children, riding in
automobiles, were killed or inju
red at public crossings in 1;his
country.
. The only way to check this
frightful condition is to remind
-drivers and remind them a-
less at the crossings.
Candidates for the , various
county offices are becoming
quite numerous over the county.
Both the republican and demo
cratic parties are lineing up a
strong bunch of candidates and
the election will no doubt be very
close in Harding County this
fall.
Elmer Bursick' who has been
visitiner his sister Mrs Messner
at Raton the past several weeks
returned home Tuesday and his

An able and bu:y novelist,
Victor Rousseau has turned out
many stories and has escaped
the criticism made of so many
popular writers. Many authors
who write a'great deal find dif
ficulty in avoiding a sameness
of plot and characterization.
Mr. Rousseau has been able to
escape this. Everyone of his
tales shows a refreshing origin
ality in plot and handling.
He made his success in the
United States several years
ago and is now returning to this
country -after- a sojourn in the
literary circles of England. He
knows Canada well and it is
not surprising that his latest
book should deal with a very
vital piiase of the redeeming of j
northern portions of that coun- j
try from the wilderness. A
story of romance and thrilling
adventure, it is entitled, "The
Big Muskeg" and will be of
fered to readers of this publi
cation as a serial. Do not misi

The Tracy for Senator Club
asks the careful attention of all
republicans and! all the voters, of
New Mexico to the accompany
ing suggestive eaiioriai tanen
from the editorial page of the
Saturday Evening Post of July
1st, 1922:
Extract from Editorial Saturday
Evening Post, July 1 1922.
"It seems ' impossible for the
average American, in office and
out, to get any concrete, concep
tion of his government as a great
business, needing experience, ex
pert knowledge, special aptitudes
and, above all, business Drains
in its many departments. We
run to lawyers in government,
forgetting that lawyers are not
primarly business men and that
the conduct of their own profes
sion is, on the whole, dilatory
and unbusinesslike, and that the
courts ai-e almost inextricably
cluttered up. The leaders of the
bar, from Chief Justice Taft
down, are aware of these condi
tions and are striving to corréct
i them, but the fact remains that
they have persisted tor years,
and still persist. Today tne na
tional business, as well as the
courts, is lawyer-run, lawyer-de-
layed, and, like tnem, iuncuon-
ing too slowly, too cumorousiy
and too expensively
"The theory on which' we pro-,
ceed in government is that a le
gal training fits a man for any
and every kind of office.
"Now we do not underate the
importance or the need of a fair
proportion if lawyers in govern
ment, doing the work for which
lawyers are best fitted by train
ing and experience. But we sho
uld retire the great surplus of
lawyers now in office to private
life, ur.til such time as they have
proved, by introducing cleancut,
expenditious business methods
in their own profession and by
reforming judicial procedure,
that they are as a class better
fitted than any other to manage
. .. usiness of the nation."
