The Call For Kelly
There Is no mistaking the genuineness of the coil
that Is being made upon Mayor C. E. Kelly by the peo-
ple of El Paso to continue In the great work of city
building In which he has been engaged for the past
three years and which reflect* lustre alike upon the
honorable mayo, and all concerned.
It i* a great work that C E. Kelly ha* done for El
Paso Monuments to hl» vim and energy—his push and
go, are to be seen on every side, and every one of them
marks the development of a Greater El Paso. Many of
the most important public enterprise* undertaken by the
city of El Paso have been Inaugurated during the Kelly
administration, and while some of them remain unfin-
ished 1* no time for the trained and experienced hand
that has been fashioning the architecture to give up the
Job. If he doe* the interests of El Pa*o will suffer.
Energetic, tactful, resourceful, and with his mind al-
ways concentrated on the best Interest* of the people.
Mayor Kelly ha* given El Paso an administration of
municipal affair* that proves him one of the most able
and desirable executives the city has possessed. Always
on the Job night and day, he ha* kept El Paso clean,
wholesome and free from those undesirable Influences
(hat would have otherwise militated against the, public
weal Nothing has been too big or too small to com-
mand Mayor Kelly's undivided attention, for he 1* loyal
to the core and "on the Job."
Knowing the man so well—appreciating, him for hl»
sterling traits of manliness, devotion to duty, unim-
peachable honor and Integrity, his friends throughout the
city hate such confidence in the man a* to believe he
will never lie a quitter, hut that he will realise the neces-
sities of Ho situation, respond to the call of duty and
consent to go on with the great work which has been
associated w ith hi* splendid administration Of the city's
atfairs
it is now up to "Old Kcl" to st y whether or not he
will continue this great work or quit the job—and "Old
Kel” ts believed to possess too much true Celtic grit to
ever go down into hjstory In the guise of a quitter.
Probable Secretary of the Treasury
It I* an Interesting report now In circulation as to the
man who will lie chosen by President Wilson to eerv*
lit his cabinet as secretary of the treasury, as the man
who Is said to be elated for that position la no less per-
sonage than Cleveland H. Dodge, of the great Phelps-
ltodge company, an Institution that has done und Is do-
ing much for the development of the Great Southwest.
Mr. Dodge 1* universally recognised as one of the
ablest financiers'of the country, a Democrat, an original
Wilson man, and a man who rendered the Democratic
party signal servloe In the campaign which has resulted
In the redemption of every branch of the national gov-
ernment from Republican domination and control, lie
Is widely known for htB Influence In finance and com-
merce, ond the great corporation with which he Is con-
nected Is known throughout this Southwestern section
as one of the cleanest, moat liberal and progressive that
ever operated in this section.
Should Mr. Dodge receive the appointment as sec-
retary of the treasury It will be necessary for him to re-
tire from the Phelps-Dodge company, however, as an
ancient law on the statute books of the United State*
passed Sept 2, 1787, provides: *
"No person appointed to the office of sec-
retary of the treasury, or first comptroller, or first
auditor, or treasurer or registrar, shall dlectly or
Indirectly be eoncerregd or Interested In carrying on
the business of trade or commerce or be owner In
whole or In Part of any set vessel or purchase by
himself, or another In trust fo* him, any public
lands or other public property, or be concerned
in the purchase or disposal of any public securi-
ties of any state, or of the United States, or take
or apply to his own use any emolument or gain
for negotiating or transacting any business In the
treasury department other than what shall be al-
lowed by law."
In this connection it Is recalled that President Grant
tn March, 1868, appointed the merchant prince Alexander
T. Stewart secretary of the treasury and when his name
came before the senate for confirmation this old law was
dug UP, by some member of the senate, and his confirma-
tion Prevented. President Grant sent a special message
to the senate asking the repeal of the law In order that
Mr. Stewart might become eligible, and Mr. Stewart
offered to transfer his immense business to trustees and
d*vote his entire profit* to charity during hi* term of
office, but the law was not repealed, the Stewart plan was
not adopted and that gentleman did not serve as secre-
tary of the treasury during the Gran* administration.
If President Wilson desires to tender this position to
g;fi Mr. Dodge and that gentleman desires to receive the ap-
is pointment It Is to I* hoped that some method can be
i| devised by which the desired end can be sttalned. It '»
f' certain that a more deserving Democrat and an ablfr
financier and business man could not bs found for the
position, and In arranging ths official board that Is to
act aa the advisors of the administration President Wilson
MT '
should hove ths privilege of choosing the men he deems
best qualified for the respective position*.
iVlenda of <b« Pbeips Dodge people throkgjhuut the
Southwest—and they are legion, would be dellghtedto she |
this member of the firm honored In the manner Indicated.
Mr. Dodge and hi* associates tn the corporation of which
he Is a member are doing the part of full-grown men In
empire building In the Great Southwest, and have the
confidence and respect of every Southwestern citizen.
The Retirement of Senator Bailey
Senator Joseph Weldon Balter, the Junior United
States senator from the state of Tessa, delivered Ills fare-
well address in the senate chamber Thursday to a crowd
that was something of a record breaker, aa It was gener-
ally known that he was going to say some very caustic
things prior lo the laying down of the senatorial toga.

recall constitute an Insidious attack upon our very prin-
ciples of government. In the course of hts remarks he
displayed a book of 208 pages embodying questions re-
cently voted upon by the people of Oregon under this
system, and proceeded to point out how utterly impossible
It is for the masse* of the people to comprehend the mat-
ter* they are voting upon when they are wrapped up in
such excessive verbiage.
Senator Bailey is a Democrat of the old school. A
close student of the principles and traditions of his party
and government, he ha* always chosen to follow the
teachings and precepts of Jefferson and the other party
fathers, rather than to stray off In support of the sophis-
tries and false doctrine* that are continually being sprung
by so-called Latter Day Democratic saints, who hardly
have a speaking acquaintance with true Democratic
principles. Noting the apparent tendency In these times
toward the Incorporation of these sophistries and
chimeras Into modern Democratic doctrine. Including
woman suffrage, he has not hesitated to raise his voice
against the impious procedure, and true Democrats ev-
erywhere have not failed to always applaud the Demo-
cratic doctrine laid down by Joseph Weldon Bailey, be-
cause they knew that he stood forth as the champion of
real Democratic principles
The retirement of Senator Bailey from the United
States senate Is a distinct loss to the American nation, for
no abler man ever was a member of that branch of con-
gress. While there has been a fight raging around and
about him for years, on account of some of his alleged
associations outside the senate, Ballejr has never apolo-
gized for any of those connections. He has contended
that when he accepted the position of United States sen-
ator from Texas he did not sell himself body and soul
to the service of Ihe people of the state, but as a lawyer,
he had the right to practice his profession outside the
senate chamber.
In the practice of his profession, Senator Bailey was
unfortunate enough to have as his clients some individ-
uals and Interests not approved of by the people of Texas,
but In accepting this clientage he was always within what
lie regarded as his personal rights, and as he entertained
a commendable ambition to make proper provision for his
family he served these clients to the very best of his
ability, accepted the customary fees, and felt in his heart
that he had violated none of his obligations to the people
of Texas He only did what he saw other leading mem-
bers of the United .States senate continually doing, and
while his action In the premises may have been a mistake.
It was not Intended to In any way Impair his usefulness
as a representative of the people of Texas.
Rather than continue the fight with his enemies, he
has chosen to lay It all down and devote himself to the
practice of law, and his passing is a distinct loss to
Texas and the American nation.
ure and profit if a number of El
Paso men, from both town and coun-
ty, and a group from Las Crtices and

little barbecue feast.
Secretary March believes such a
far-reaching result of the authori-
zation of expenditure of such a sum
of money for good roads should not
go uncelebrated. He suggests that

More Good Roads
I.as Cruces also Is a live wire. Dona Ana county
voted Saturday $I00!000 In bonds for good roads by
1128 for to 16 against and this Is of especial Interest to
El Paso because It means that a modern macadamized
road will be built from this city through the New Mex-
yo county via La* Cruces, a distance of over 100 miles.
In the November election New Mexico voted $500,000
of bonds for Improved roads, to be expended in th-j
various counties In proportion to the tax paid by each.
The Indications are that the Southwest will lead
the country In good road construction next year and
serve as an object lesson to the country in the advantages
and value of good roads.
Every mile of good road or railroad constructed In
this settlon means increased business and growth for El
Paso, and the Time* indulges tho hope that the coming
year will see the building of a railroad from El Paso
through the rich Pecos Valley, to Artesla and Ros-
well, for El Paso needs the products of the Valley and
the rich trade of that prosperous section.

The Natal had been met off Nan-
tucket by a squadron of two United

ers, and the funeral fleet lay off
Sandy Hook last night. A gslo that

Bluejackets from' the battleships
Florida and North Dakota were
drenched with spray as they came
ashore to form a guard of honor, and
the little launch from the Florida
that carried the body to the wharf,
pitched so that the ten petty officers
acting as bearers had to steady the
coffin for fear it would go overboard.
The body was escorted to the cathed-
ral by a company of marines.
At the cathedral the casket was en-
trusted to a guard of 30 marines from

Phoenix, Aria, Jan. 3.—The first
regular report of the Arizona land
commission has been handed to Gov-
ernor Hunt by Chief Clerk Trlpple of
the land commission. Chairman Mul-
ford Winsor of the commission had
left for Graham and Greenlee coun-
ties to continue the work of the com-
mission In the personal examination
of the school lands of the state In
those sections. The report Is a
lengthy affair, comprising 25 closely
typewritten pages.
Since the commission, beginning
practically at the date of the prev-
ious general report, entered upon the
discharge of the field work Imposed

totaling 107.415 acres, and lying In

Lordsburg, N. M., Jan. 3.—More
than $100,000 was spent for Improve-
ments here tn 1912. Of this $50,-
000 is represented In the new elec-
tric light and power plant. Among
other notable improvements are an
addition to the Southern Pacific
roundhouse, new boiler and repair
shops, a new theatre, a new hotol
costing $13,000 and numerous apart-
ment and dwelling houses. Ten
thousand feet of concrete sidewalks
have been laid since October 1st.
Considering contemplated Improve-
ments and a renewal of mining ac-
tivities It Is expected that this fig-
ure will be greatly exceeded In 1913.
One of the first and most impor-
tant Improvements will be a new
school house. Plans for It have al-
ready been drawn. It will cost $8,-
000. Alvin White, state superinten-
dent of public Instruction, was here
Tuesday to confer with Major Ran-
dall and others concerning It.

will be used.
A new jail of brick or concrete to
replace the one which burned a

Several new dwellings arc being
built and others are being planned
for .the Crockier addition. It is said
that two other additions are to be

Las Cruces, N. M-, Jan. 3.—During his
lecture at the Agricultural College last
night, B. 11. Burrell, highway engineer
from the office of public roads at Wash-
ington, who ha* been lecturing at various
.points In Dona Anu county during the
past week, made a degression to comment
on the remarkable record set by this
county In its road bond election on Sat-
urday last.
"This stands as n record, I believe, for
the whole United States,” said Mr. Bur-
rell. "I do not retail a single Instance
among the hundreds of road bond elec-
tions held in various states of this coun-
try wbero the record set by Dona Ana
county last Saturday has been equalled.
Here was a not where you brought out
approximately fifty per cent of your to-
tal vote to the polls, where the vote in
favor of your bonds was about 80 to 1,
and where over half of the precincts of
yonr county Toted unanimously for the
bonds. It is a record that 1 think stands
unequalled in the United States and a
record of which you may be Justly
proud."
Mr. Burrell spent yesterday afternoon,
In company with the Messrs. Gilliam and
tester, of the comity road board, and
Prof. A. B. Sage, of the engineering de-
partment of the college, in going over the
experimental paved road built three yearB
ago on the college grounds by the office
of pnbltc roads. The gravel deposits near
the valley were also examined, and Mr.
Burrell*expressed a high opinion of the
natural advantages poseessed by the lo-
cality for securing road building materials
"ht s minimum cost. It appear* that the
mesa gravel ts of a high quality for road

SALOON HOLDUPS.
Special to The. Times.
Globe. Arlz., Jan. 3.—Bill Jackson and
Dick Benson, the two young men accused
of bolding up the Johnson saloon at Mia-
mi last Saturday were given a prelimin-
ary hearing before Judge Lafayette p.
Nash or Miami. They were ordered held
to await the action of the county attor-

Beginning with the new year *11
of the employes In El Paso of the
Western Union Telegraph company
and of the Bell telephone system, the
two companies being, with the Gen-
eral Electric company, subsidiaries of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company, will profit by the new plan
adopted by the corporation, which
provides for benefits for disability
due to accidents or sickness, and of
insurance and of pensions- This plan
went Into effect over the country at
large January 1, and nearly 200,000
men and women are directly Inter-
ested.
The El Paso employes. In common
with all others of the corporation,
who art giving their best years to
the work, will by tho plan adopted,
will from this time on be assured of
assistance in the exigencies of life,
and also are assured of provision In
their declining years.
Theodore N. Vallle, an official of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company, In a message to the em-
ployes In Ef Paso, said the intent and
purpose of the employer in establish-
ing a plan of benefits is to give tan-
gible expression to that reciprocity
which means loyal service on the part
of the employe with protection from
all the ordinary misfortunes to which
he or she is liable.
"This is Justice,” said Vallle. “and
without justice and sympathetic in-
terest we can not hope to do a good
piece of work."
The American Telephone & Tele-
graph company, which centralizes the
associated companies into one sys-
tem, with one policy for universal
service, has considered the Interests
of all workers an dhas made a com-
prehensive plan possible. It Is an
administrative clearing house and the
underwriter of the necessary fund,
upon which a general plan must de-
pend. One Illustrative nstance of
thq exercise of these functions has
been the unifying of the various ins
terests so that any employe who
desires, can wark anywhere In the
country with uninterrupted benefits,
and any company in the corporation
can obtain any man it needs, with-
out prejudice to the employe’s wel-
fare.
