JSan Juan eounty ftlfcrs More Inducement to the Horneseekrr and

Somehow we cau't put Tery murh

!
get the promise he made to the people
of New Mexico at Las Yi'Kkb when he
poied as the cntrritii'd lt,idir of the 1
Jvough Riders, corean we forget that he
has failed iu every respect to lilfull that
promiae.
Our Republican friends seem to he
having a hard timo in getting their
political machinery in moth n iu the
territory. The failure of tha Chicago
convention to declaro itself for state-
hood for the territories was a bard blow
to the party in New Mexico, and virtu
ally knocked the only platform they had
to Hand on to Bmitherinca.
Our friend Hailey of Tiik I5.1M x is
certainly hitting the nuil on the Lead
wheii he sajs there is "something rotten
in Dsumark" and that we need a tighter
in the legislature. The people of New
Moxico need peveral good fighters in the
( 'gialiiture. The leuislatoro of two
years ago was a grafting institution pure j

It is true uno or two men can't do very

certain tboy should make themselves
heard, and let the people who sent them
there know that they are ixii.ng somk

t'ieir thumbs, What we need in the
legislature is a few men with the
courage of their convictions,

The "fools" from tagging on behind,

To stop thoau of simple mind

Where is the grounds for political
argument this campaign, besides local
questions?
With no real political issues ot slake
we seo no hope oí anything except a
campaign of old time mud ulingiug.
Would Lincoln have recognized 1'ana
ma; would Jefferson have retained the
Philippines; would ''Golden R"le" Jones
iiavu teii tiie ln i dies to the promised
land, confiscating thu homes as well as
the government of the unoffending
inhabitants?
We believe there arc many good
trusts, both capitalistic aud labor, but
we alf-o believe that when either liecomu
a monopoly it is a menace to the best
iutrests of the country.
Did you know that Uncle Sinn is the
author of an 1 tlieial fipliig book?
What Unele Situi Savs goes so it will bu
well to take note of these rules: Avoid
possessive tonus of names; drop the
final h in spelling burgh; abbreviate
borough to boro combine names of
more than one word into one; drop

names. 1', S. iJjii't forget to write it

The reason for this very serious
state of affairs is due mainly to the
enormous and growing taxation," said
a great financial expert, "and to the
rapidly increasing rates. To those
causes mainly we must attribute our
bad trade. Our almost unbearable
taxes draw money from business, and
trade must suffer In consequence. In
this country we pay man, woman and
child in taxation nearly three times
as much as do the citizens of the
United States.

Similar views were expressed by a

"I do not believe there Is an epidem
ic of thrift, but I am convinced that
persons In all stations of life are prac

obliged to do so. In my opinion the
South African war and increased tax

Felix O. Schuster, chairman of the

there had been an Important reduction
