HACK TO MAY.
I went tack to May today
Though the clouds were hang
ing pray,
And the chilly air shut down
Like a hhudow over the town.
I went back to May to dream
May day with iu olden gleam.
And furget In that dear light
Creeping rnlet and chilly night.
Outide my w indow all the folk
Were wrapped in fur and rub
ber cloak;
Down where I went In dreams
aftray
We drested in gossamer of May.
The louder rang the wind and
rain.
The sweeter to my windowpane
Came visions of that ferny dell
Where beauty's shuttles weave
their spell.
I went back to May today,
And laughed at weather chill
and gray.
When nymphs, by Attic shep
herds led.
Brought me the rose of spring
instead.

against the use of the fish and game

The sportsmen feel that If the present

be thrown directly into politics; the
propogatlon and protection work will
become Inefficient and the results In

When Diaz established his dictator
thip in Mexico tha lands were to a
large extent in th?
Hie Mexican hands of the com-
I-aml Problem, mon people. Under
the beneficial regime
of Jaurez, following the downfall of
Maxmilllan, a real democracy prevail
ed and agriculture and education
flourished. But the land was not
deeded as In thla country. On the other
hand titles were guaranteed by a con
stitutional provision that possession
and cultivation of the land should
give ownership. The settler paid
taxes on their land and tax receipts
were considered valid as evidence of
proprietorship.
When Diaz came Into power the
majority of farmers were driven from
their holdings. The procedure was
this. A deal would be made whereby
for a consideration DIas would agree
to give a wealthy aristocrat an Im
mense tract of land, sometimes mil
lions of acres. Agents would then be
sent among the people to be deposed
and they would demand . that the
farmers show a different form of title
from what they possessed. When
they could not do so they were order
ed from their homes. This was done
even though people had lived upon
and tilled land for many years.
In numerous Instances the small
land holders showed resistance. But
this was anticipated. Whenever a
district was to be taken Diaz would
send some 10,000 or 15,000 soldiers
quickly on the heels of the agents.
The people, men, women and chil
dren, would be literally massacred
wholesale. There were cases where
the slaughter would last for three or
four days at a time and the dead
would number many thousands. Even
those who showed no fight were put
to death.
That was the method whereby
many of the largest estates In Mexico
were created. Is It any wonder that
the real revolutionists in Mexico make
the division of the land their battle
cry. Is it any wonder that private
property In land In Mexico Is regard
ed differently from what It Is In this
country?
The land question Is at the bottom
of the whole thing In Mexico. It
may be t-tkrn ns a fact that the pres
ent trouble between Oarrnnxa and
Villa Is based in someway upon how
far IMh a nfiscHtion of e-tatcs shall

SLOGANS OF SUCCESS
Remember, the "elevator to the
tcp" always makes a RETURN trip.
It carries some people up and it
carries some people DOWN.
In advancing toward SUCCESS
many lose their way by losing sight
of the GOAL.
The Highway of Success also has
its "traffic rules." One is "KEEP
TO THE RIGHT," another Is "KEEP
MOVING."
It's all right t "come In on the
tide.- but look out for the UNDER
TOW! The things that "he who runs may
read'' sometimes are so aimed that
"he who reads may run."

I love the lordly winter time; I love
the cold, clear eky.
That make the heel ring on the road
which wends the light-heart
wayl
The keen bright day, the winter day,
that tinglea on the face.
And makes the world we live In seem
. a very Jolly place;
I love the lordly winter time the
winter dawn for me,
With all the eastern horizon a gorg-
ous pageantry;
The sparkle of the frozen dew, the
glory on the hill,
The litheness of the step that swings
unto the light-heart will!
I love the lordly winter time the
leaping of the blood.
The reawakened energy that pours
its potent flood:
The high uplifting atmosphere, the
resonance and ring.
Of footsteps on the frozen road, with
fettle stride and swing
I love the lordly winter time the
strength Its grip, its verve.
The currents that it sends to feed
the muscles and the nerve:
Its clear, blue skies. Its fine bright
days, the glory of its light.
The -beauty of Its myriad stars that
pave the floor of night!
I love the lordly winter tim

It sings to me
la of a traveler on the road that leads
to health and glee
What goblets of divine ozone, what
wonder of its days.
And, oh, the sunburst flashing there

the gume laws." Mr. Stelwer ulso de
clared It an Imposition to ask the
sheriff to enforce the gumo laws, be
cause of his already strenuous duties
which would be multiplied when the
prohibition law goes Into effort. "The
sheriffs cannot enforce the game
laws," he said, "and these laws will
go unenforced unless there are spe
cial officers to look after them."
No nunlen to Taxpayers.
District Warden Averlll produced
figures to show that far from being
a burden upon the taxpayers the pres
ent game system actually results in
gain to the state. Inasmuch as the
sportsmen pay all costs of the fUh and
game departments, the only costs left
to the state Included those of prose
cuting offenders who could not pay
the costs, the feeding of prisoners who
took Jail sentences and the postage
necessary In sending out game li
censes. Figures in the records, he
Bald, showed that the costs of prose
cutions for violations of the game
laws during 1)14, which the state had
to pay, amounted to $32.40. The cost
of feeding offenders who took Jail
sentences was $72 and the cost of
postage In sending out licenses ap
proximately $25, making a total cost
of $129 40. The fines paid In Uma
tllta county In 1914 for game viola
t'ons totaled $S50, half of which went
to the county, thus giving the county
u net profit of $296.60.
During the year 1914, he said,
there were 2902 anglers licenses Is
sued In this county, 1999 hunters' li
censes and 355 combination licenses,
making a total of 5256 licenses which
yielded $5611. During the year be
fore the commission system went Into
effect, he said, the total revenue in
this county from licenses was about
$1100. In spite of this increase In
the number of hunters and anglers.
the testimony of prominent sports
men last evening was to the effect
that the fishing and hunting now is
100 per cent better than four or five
years ago.
The sportsmen were considerably
Incensed at the story written by the
press agent of one of the legislators
which was printed In a local paper
last evening.
