Is it a fact that one of the greatest aims of the present foul-brood law is to get rid of the(iarmer bee keeper and have 'bee.1 keeping go into the hands' of specialists, and raise the price of honey?. ;. ' -? . Illinois . .Answer I think I am quite famidar with all the arcumentá' that have been used in favor of securing foul brood laws, boH in thij eoühtry and other countries, and in no single in stance have I ever heard it suggested that a foul-brood iar would est rid of the farmer bée-keepar. I have heard' it Uíftíeatai that Bupply deal era wanted a foul brood law so that hi vea of diseased oolials would a fooUih id084 t&t is. It certatiü? cannot kp ciHnpBri7wit.fr the Wea that Jtoul-brood laws' drive .f triers oat of bee-keeping; for if they hir& tai at effect it would simply' be destroy ing Just so many customers, for hives. The aim of the" foul-brood lat is to restrict and to overcome as mach as po8ibl the ravages of foul brood. How would it drive á farmer, or any one elso, out of business? Slipgpse a Careless bee-keepef witll a few.' colo nies has a foul brood. If 'hft lets ttie disease alone, as he is likely :p dq it's a dead-sure thing that'it will hot be a very long time until his bees will be wiped out Now supp'oae' a foul-brood inspector comea.aloifó and obliges him to clean up-iho dirtase, Isn't that the only - thing- likely to make him continue in íbé business? Here's the way it locks to me. The foul-brood disease, .left to itself, - is Bu're to drive th e careless bee-keeper out of the business; the foul-brood law is the only thing to keep him in business. Bee Journal. A Live Vire, It is generally conceded thatalocal county paper is read by many, in fact a majority of its readers through out the county have no access to daily papers which give current news every day. This class of readers ap preciate tho fresh, news columns cf he inBide of a paper' such as ours. For instance, on Tuesday of last week Gov. Woodrow Wilson delivered an address to 15000 people at the audi torium building Denver. The inside pages of this paper oontained a full account in abbreviated form of his triumphant entry into Colorado, and his masterful address, extracts from which were read throughout this county Friday and Saturday by read ers of the Index. Aside from thia 47 ''fresh New Mexico news items are found on our inside pages. What other paper gives mora for the money thau we?

The Democratic party ia father of the blue ballot and Harvey B. Fer gUBSon is its candidate for Congress. To vote for Jaffa would be giving back the dub you took away from the gang last fall. CarrUozo (N. M.) News. FEF1GUSSON AND JAFFA The Ricord has nothing to say a&ainst athan Jaffa as a man and as a citizen, but we must find con siderable fault with his political rec ord. He W a Republican, and more than tint, .e is a standpatter. He is opposed r'jl'.e things the Democrats of New rifcklco, as well as of the en tire countrr, are. demanding; "he Is a supporter' 'of President Taft and ia Congress would ' 'oppose Democratic doctrines and Progressive doctrines; he would aid to the vote of the stand- pat wing of the Republican party, whj,le Mr. Kergusson is a Democrat and a progressive Democrat at, that, un his vote would be cast fo Demo cratic principles and he would be an upholder of the hands eff Champ Clark. In politics ia tho territory, Mr. Jaffa was always" a supporter oí the old Re publican gang, casting his vote for the gáúg cscdMihs and oslrig his Influ ence f of fhnlr election, líe earnestly aupporteS Boas B.brsum if the recent itate caipmalgu arJd wnyisiiy opposed the adoption of tlie'bliiejiiallot in that campaign.

The yjews of Jaffa. hnd,4 Roosevelt are at the two extremes. - Mr. Fergusson has been tried in con gresq and ha not been found want ing.. ,He has. secured some of the greatest benefits that have come to thy territory and state from the na tional government and we will later comment to some extent on, these things. ; ' Mr. Fergusson should receive the united support of the Democracy of the Pecos valley. He Is entitled to it just as Mr. Jaffa's political record has earned its united opposition. Roswell (N. M.) Record. " DEMOCRATS FAVOR DIRECT LEGISLATION The Republican state platform omlu nil reference to direct legislation, and does not a any way commit the party to those great reforms. In thia at least the Republicans . are ' consistent, for they have, steadfastly refused to even permit the people of New Mexico to vote as ti whether or not they, want the initiative, the referendum, and the direct prhWy. The Democratic party, on the other hand, in its platform says: "We favor the initiative and ref erendum, direct primaries and all pop ular reforras which ijhall restore to the people that control of their laws arid government of which they have in a large measure been deprived through the perversion of representa tivo government by the contrivanoe, of machine , política in' alliance, with or ganized malth."
