Nothing Doing for Red Flagger*
War »upplies of every character are to be cut off fkrnn
oil persons' engaged In the promotion of domestic vlo-
lema in Mexico, according to the terms of a resolution^
New Mexico Republican Program
The state legislature of New Mexico convened In It*
first session Monday morning, end unfortunately for the
peace and dignity of the state of New Mexico, the first
state legislature is composed of sufficient Republicans
to thoroughly control legislative action. Acting on the
presumption that the Republican members of the legis-
lature are ail of their own stripe, the members of the old
territorial Republican gang that formed the malodorous
machine, fondly Imagine that they are going to be able
to resume control and dominate the situation just as they
did in former days, In spite of the rebuke that was ad-
ministered to them In the November election. A news-
paper dispatch from Santa Ke says:
Vf.
v
that ha* passed both houses of congress at Washington,
and is now the law of tho land.
in plain words, Iho action of congress means the
complete reversal of the policy that prevailed during the
Muderu revolution on the border arid the cutting off of
ad arms and munitions «£ war, which will Include feed
for horses arid foodstuffs for the rebels in the field, from
tile usual American source of supply.
The United suits government has awakened to the
fact that through the exercise of the lax policy hereto-
lorc prevailing it was engaged in the very reprehensible
procedure of encouraging strife and contention against
the establish) d legal government in Mexico, and aiding
ami abetting the operations of the Red Flag looters who
ar, terrorising the country and who have through their
continued depredations driven thousands of AnicVlean
i iilzens irom the republic of Mexico, causing them seri-
ous josses and great Inconvenience. Coming to a realis-
ation of its gross error, the United States government
ha* declared that heiceforth the Red Flag rebels operat-
ing In the state of Chihuahua and nt other points in the
republic of Mexico will not lie permitted to obtain one
article on this side of the border that Is calculated to as-
sist ilnm in their Unlawful undertaking, and while the
movement ■* primarily designed to stop the importation
of anus, ammunition and explosives of every character,
the wording niibraitrs sufficient latitude to include ev-
vrything clsi that is calculated to sustain ihe rebels In
tt i- field.
The effect of this very timely action taken at Wash-
ingloii will he the Immediate relegation of the Red Flag
rebels to the narrow confines of their own resources. No
longer van they gather bodies of armed men at points
contiguous to the American border and sustain them in
idleness upon what !s purchased on this side of tho bor-
der with the loot that is obtained on the other side. There
Is to he no lias,- of supplies for anything except what they
nr, able lo obtain from the territory under their control,
and sufficient American troops will at once bo placed
upon tho border to sec that the neutrality laws are rig-
idly enforced.
The effect of all this really meuns an early subsid-
ence of the troubles that are afflicting the northern states
of tlie republic of Moxieo. With the exhaustion of the
supply of ammunition on hand, there w ill be no means
of replenishment. With the consumption of limited stocks
of provisions in sight, it will be Impossible to keep any
large body of the lied Flag rebels together, for no food
will ne .available; and there will have to be a scattering
of th*> rebel bunch, who will be compelled to find some
other avocation than that of lying around so-called mili-
tary camps to be fed plentifully without the necessity of
any form of labor or exArtlon.
it is an undeniable fact that the plenteousness of the
feed that could heretofore be obtained around these Rod
Flag rebel on in pa has acted a* a magnet not only for tho
vicious element of Mexico, but for the lazy and shiftless
element that Is always looking for the opportunity to
win plenty of feed with (he least possible exerfiaa. hun-
dreds of peons have been attracted to those camps in
this manner, practically deserting their wives and chib
or n and leaving them In want and penury, simply l>«-
they could obtain plenty to cat for themselves, be
provided with a rifle and tool and delude themselves
with the assumption that tU*£ are soldiers engaged In a
patriotic undertaking
And with there tin soldiers there has been gathered
’-be greatest array of ’'generals." ''colonels” and other
high sounding military titles that was ever scraped to-
gether on the face of the earth—men of questionable an-
te edeutr, aromatic records, crafty designs and eloquent
pathos, who can descant in affecting terms upon the mis-
eries that oppress the Mexican people, while preparing
to go cut and loot and rob every Mexican or citizen of
tin: other nationality who has sufficient property to at-
ire.ct their distinguished attention. Such ..re the peo-
ple who arc talking of the miseries of the Mexican na-
tion. which they proposed to remedy by the overthrow of
the existing constitutional government and the sale of
the nation Into bauds that wilt make the present alleged
miseries pale Into utb.r Insignificance in comparison with
those that they would thus bring into existence. . Verily,
It is high time to put a stop to this foolishness on the
other side of the border. It is time to send the deluded
pecn-v bach to the neglected farms, rancho* and min -s.
where they can earn an honest living in an honest man-
ner and providr f r those who are dependent upon their
daily labor for the meagre sustenance that is now being
denied them. It is time that these many gentlemen with
the suddenly acquired military titles and the grandllo-
q»» rtt air l, rn :» consequence, be returned to their for-
mer evocations of sweeping the street* rolling tho ne-
glected wheelbarrows in the various livery stables that
have been idle since the awakening of their martial ar-
dor, and stop the robbery and looting prevailing over so
lunch of Mexico.
The American government has dose only what any
clean government would have felt Impelled to do under
Mmnar circlmstances. Tha Red Flagger* go from
>he republic of Mexico.
The prograjn of the Republican leaders here la
to unseat enough senators and representatives
elected by the Democrats and Progressive Re-
publicans to give them a safe two-thirds majority
In each house, after which they will strip Gover-
nor McDonald of all appointive power except such
as Is conferred on him specifically by the consti-
tution.
Except, of course, rto effort will be made to
take from him the appointment of hi* private sec-
retary.
Under the constitution, the governor is com-
mander of the military of the slate, and has the
power to name the adjutant general. In addition,
he has the right to nominate the various boards
of the penal and eharltable and educational insti-
tutions, but the powers of such board* are not
defined by the constitution and it is contended by
the leaders that the legislature has the right to
make them merely advisory, and that a general
board, or boards, may be created vested with au-
thority to appoint all officers and employes of
such institutions.
As far as may be learned It is the purpose of
the leaders to put the office of traveling auditor
under the state auditor, the insurance commis-
sioner and the oil inspector under the corporation
commission, cither abolish the mounted police or
put it together with the stale engineer under the
commissioner of public lands.
That this program has been determined on,
there ean be no doubt. It i* understood that Gov-
ernor McDonald Is making an effort to gain the
support of certain Republicans to support him
agulnst tlii* raid on the patronage heretofore in
the hands of the governor, and rumor has it that
he has some pledges in that direction, but
whether he can hold them against the Influ-
ences that will be brought to bear by the regu-
lar Republic organization is a matter of doubt.
Everything points to war to the knife and
the knife to the hilt.
Fortunately, all men arc not necessarily rascals be*
cause they are Republicans) but there are Kepubltoari
members of the New Mexico legislature who are both
honest and capable. While there Is a sufficient taint of
the old Republican machine that managed to break Into
Ihe legislature to propose to do all sorts of things to
a Democratic governor, it Is reasonable to suppose that
there is enough horse sense and sound discretion among
the men outside the old gang to hold them down to a
reasonable level, and the plots that arc being hatched
under the old machine hats will not know "fruition.
The Republican party of New Mexico has received
tide
sufficient admonition at the hands of the people of that
state in the direction of honesty and decency to make a
lasting impression. It has been given to very clearly
understand that the Netv Mexico p'eople will not stand
for the party method and' procedure that obtained in
the past, and thut if the ^Republican party in that state
Is to have recognition It must come before tho people
with clean hands and honest purposes. Tho Democratic
governor of New Mexico was chosen by a majority of
the citizenship of New Mexico, else i.e would not now be
the state executive. Among the thousands of votes that
were cast for Governor McDonald were many honest
and clean Republicans, who thus registered their em-
phatic protest against the former methods of their party,
and It was In this manner Ihat machine rule In New
Mexico was broken. Any affront to the governor of
New Mexico that is now offered by the remnant of the
old Republican machine In that state will constitute an
affront to the people of New Mexico and will be re-
troactive in its effect upon the remnant of the old ma-
chine that is now evidently seeking to again get itself
lu cohesion.
Practical Typhoid Prevention
Typhoid fever in the uverage community In tho United
States can be practically eliminated by carrying out rea-
sonable and comparatively Inexpensive measures. The
community Itself must bear the greatest part of tho bur-
den. The first requisite is the appointment of an expert,
full-time health officer at an adequate salary—-a salary
of #3.000 per annum was provided for the health officer,
of Yakima county. These arc the lessons of the cam-
paign against typhoid fever in Yakima county. Washing-
ton. This campaign affords another illustration of the
value of the nntlonal public health bureau in giving ex-
pert assistant^ and advice in organizing local health
work. Were congress to make tt possible’ for this bu-
reau to pul even as many as 100 men Into the field for
typhoid work, and were they to succeed in securing the
co-operation of the local authorities as did Lumsdcn at
Yakima, th increased expenditure involved would be
Insignificant In comparison with the saving of health, life
and economic resources which would result.
It I* gratifying to be able to record for the saqte year
In the United States two notable achievements In sani-
tation as regards typhoid: the one, in tho spring, in the
army encampment on the Mexican border, when, under
military discipline, the maintenance of excellent hygienic
conditions, together with anti-typhoid vaccination, kept
some 12,000 troops, practically free from typhoid fever;
the other, in tho summer and fall. In North Yakima,
where, under civil administration and through awaken-
ing of Intelligent public sentiment, measures were car-
ried out which resulted in eradicating 87 per cent of the
typhoid fever of a community of aboat 45.000 persons.
Emphasis should be placed on the fact that the work
In Yakima county, like that of the eradication of plague
in San Francisco and of ye’llow, fever In New Orleans,
was carried out under civil administration and in the
absence of the military control which facilitated the
marvelous work of the United States In Cuba and Pana-
ma. a fact which brings the work and Its lessons very
near home. The Journal of Ihe American Medical Asso-
ciation, commenting on the results of the Yakima county*
campaign, points out tha! the same results can be secured
In any city or county which will take the trouble to get
rid of this disease.

Of course, Teddy Roosevelt Is going to take tho stump
in his campaign for the presidency. He Is going to pa-
rade himself throughout this nation as the choice of the
people and the only man who is capable of saving these
United States froth ear!y\and complete destruction. And
the fight that is going to follow between Taft and Roose-
velt will be one that will make the memorable engage -

Special to The Time*.
Clifton, Ariz., March 14.—Vhe storm
of Saturday and Sunday, not satisfied
with handing the local ore, railroads
and the Morenei Southern a package
of rocks and landslides, cast Us ele-
ments Into the upper Gila also, and on
Monday night yanked a chunk out of
the A. & N. M., at the 15-mile poet,
between Coronado and York station.
The river cut Into the bank for near-
ly 200 feet and when It reached the
railroad there was a gap of about 400
feet, wlth/TRe rails hanging like ca-
bles, without any terra firma to rest
upon. The telegraph and telephone
wires were down, and it was Wednes-

could be passed over the break. A
large force of men under O. J.. Cotey
and Roadmaster Billy Blair got busy
Tuesday, and the regular passenger
got out of Clifton station on time,
Wednesday morning. A drizzling cold
rain has again started in Ails section,
and whether Clifton will again iso-
lated on account of high water re-
mains to be seen.
No new developments, up to a late
hour, concerning tho mat! sack rob-
bers, has developed, although clues
are being followed that lead close to
the heels of the robber, or robbers.

over the outrage, and public senti-
ment is strong for the apprehension

their successful operation is only a
matter of care and experience, and
these two men combine both.
The late flood in the Frisco kicked
out a few bents from the A. C. flume,
causing a shortage of water, but the
old works kept moving and with

DEAD MAN’S BODY
FOUND IN
CANi
It Is asserted that Jesus Jarami!
I AD
iho,
aged forty years, an a SaturC y night
of last year, as an aftermath to a
"good time,” fell Into tho irrigation
canal and was rescued.
Last Saturday he left home
at 1008 Tayes street. He also left a
wife and two little children awaiting
hia return. Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday passed, and Jaramillo was
still missing.
Jaramillo had been In the employ
of Nick H. Carson, a cement con-
tractor, for seven or eight years. Mr.
Carson declared he was a good man,
and a good worker, but that he was
fond of imbibing, especially on Sat-
urday night. Jaramillo fed Mr.
Carson's horses and when he did not
turn up, Mr. Carson, who was ac-
quainted with the Incident of last
year, thought of the canal. So strong
was his belief that Jaramillo had fal-
len Into the canal that he appealed
to Felix Martinez Wednesday to turn
off the water that flows into the
canal. Yesterday morning when the
water was drained out of the canal,
the body of Jaramillo was discovered
lying at the bottom.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced later.
