Six thousand nine hundred d'vorces granted in one court in
Chicago in one year and the city newspapers record as the im
portant result that the Judge has collapséd from the strain. The
collapse of a thousand judges isn't comparable to the collapse
,of six thousand nine hundred homes and the lowering of the
moral fibre of thirteen thousand eight hundred men and women,
not to say a word about the children. Talk about'happiness being
,tbe keystone of human development may be all right, tut we
don't get gold we can use till the ore is crushed and washed and
the íuetal shot through the refining furnace. If ninety-five per
cent, of these trail love birds were made to see that a marriage
license is not a scrap of paper we might produce a healthier and

HON. HERBERT B. HOLT I Denver Hollopeter of Mills
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE was on the streets of Roy Mon
FOR U.S. SENATOR HERE day afternoon .
Herbert B. Holt of Las Cruces,
a prominent candidate for Uni
ted States Senator on the Repu
blican ticket, was in town several
days last week looking after po
litical fences in this vicinity and
getting acquainted with the Republicans.
Mr. Holt is one of , the strong
men of the state and has an ex
cellent chance for nomination in
the Republican convention this
fall. He will receive the vote of
the delegations from most of the
southern counties and probably
several of the western counties
and at present he is working the
northern counties.
At present there are three can
didates in the race on the Repu
blican side of the house and with
all the different things that have
been said about various candida
tes, not a single word has been
said against Mr. Holt. He is a
leader in the party and is big
enough when he sees defeat for
himself to get behind the .nomi
nees and work for their election,
this was particularly noticable in
the convention last fall when Se
nator Bursum was nominated.
Holt never wears a grouch, he is
too big for this, for when his
party has spoken, he is with the
party.
That's the kind of a man that
makes success, also helps to ma
ke his party a success and we
believe a man, broad like Mr Holt
is, will make an ideal sena
tor for New Mexico. '
Mr. Holt made many friends
in the county whom Will be a
great help to him when the Cou
nty convention is held this fall
The -First National Bank is
having the interior of the bank
recalsomined and other improve
ment work done.

guess and know the reason.

ROY. NEW MEXICO-
In this issue of . the Suanish
America will be found the annou7
ncement of one of the prominent
men of Harding County-for .She
riff, subject to the action of the
Democratic Convention. This
man is none other than Jesse D .
Wade, our fellow townsman and
genial blacksmith, a man we all
know in and around Roy and is
also practically known over the
entire county of Harding.
Mr Wade first saw light .of
day in Grayson County, Texas
a long time ago, yes even more
than forty years, and in 1836
moved to Indian territory and
was night watchman at Wetum
ka for a while and then later mo
ved back to Elliss Co; Texas and
was a "Village Blacksmith," City
policeman,. Constable and deputy
sheriff. His deputy work being
under- A. W. Wilson the well
known sheriff of that county. In
the fall of 1914 Mr Wade moved
to Gould, Oklahoma where he ,
was city marshall one year, and
deputy sheriff for two years un
der shesiff J. C. Gamble of Har
mon County and was still holding
his commission as deputy -when
he decided to move to Roy, New
Mexico, his present residence .
While living in Oklahoma, Mr
Wade had the misfortune of lo
sing his wife and after death he
with his family of seven bright
children came west locating here,
where he has been one of our
leading citizens in the upbuilding
of the town and mesa, not only
in a business way but morally
and spiritually;
Mi Wade is a member of the
Methodist church and an officer
in the local church. H is also
Superintendent of the M. E. Sun
day School of this place and Pre
sident of the Harding County
Fifth Sunday School Convention.
He has been Superintendent ot
Sunday Schools for over 15 years
and while he is a strong man re
ligiously, he is not what one wou
ld term a religious fanatic.
Mr Wade's long experience as
an officer, adequately fits him
for the office he seeks, and as
every one knows, experience in
office helps to reduce cost and
expense, we believe he will be
able to hold down the cost of the
office to a minimum. Of his nu
merous arrests as an officer eve
ry criminal arrested by him was
convicted with the exception 'of
two. This alone stands out as a
strong recommendation for his
nomination. While he is not one
of the oldest settlers of the cou
nty yet he has lived here about
five years, and during, all this
time he has taken an active part
in anything that was for the bet
terment of the community.
Mr Wade is the only candidate
for sheriff from the Roy precinct
and this being by far the stron
gest precinct in the county, he
will no doubt receive a large fol
lowing from this, part , of the
county. . .
Those who know him more in
timately, know his fitness and
are bound to give him their sup
port for they know with Wade
as sheriff of Harding County,
the laws will be enforced.
A vote for Wade means a clea
ner and better- Harding County,
economy in office .and enforce
ment of the 'Jaw. This is iwhat
we all Vant, so give him your su
pport in the convention, for if he
is nominated he will be sure of
election in November. Adv

DOWNRIGHT MEANNESS
Some kids broke into the Ap
pell building the; first of the
week and took a knife" or some o
ther ' sharp instrument and cut
and scratched the newly , Jcalso
mined walls, ruining the work
which had just been completed
and on Tuesday night they broke
out a window next to the alley.
Such vandalism should be stop
ped and it would be far better
to have a curfew ordinance than
to allow such depredations go on
in the town. Too few- of the pa
rents in the town know
where their children are after
dark, and if a curfew ordinance
must be passed, it will -be the
fault of the children themselves
for acts like those commited this
week and others commited m
.the past MUST STOP or the re
sult will be all children tinder 16
must be at home before 8 o'clock
as the Village Board intends to
put a stop to depredations which,
ar being committed by certain
kids just for downright meanness.
