The Liberal is in favor of statehood
for New Mexico, but opposes it for Ari-
IONA. kedzie is nothing if not logical.

John w. Childers, the slayer of poor
Lawyer Helm, is out in a card in the
last Independent, attempting to justify
his act, and appealing to the public
sympathy on account of his wife and
child. Childers should have thought
of all this before. 1t is little late
now to prattle about wife and babies,
and that sort of talk will fall on un-
sympathetic hearts. Childers should
be- tried in Grant county, where his
crime was committed. He will get
full justice and that is all he has a
right to expect. The record which he
has made since locating in Grant
county is not one OF which his son can
ever feel proud.
Ex-Governor l.. Bradford Prince,
who put up a vigorous fight against
tho appointment and confirmation OF
Governor Otero, is receiving a taste of
his own medicine, as the governor has
removed him as one OF the board of re-
gents for the Agricultural college.
There is no salary attached to the po-
sition, and really but little honor, but
the ex-governor is sore, and proposes
to fight his removal in the courts. 1t
is about the only official position the
ex-governor has enjoyed for some years,
and he regrets to give it up, and be-
sides that he don't like the way it was
done, and then by making a fight in
the courts he will get little cheap ad-
vertising, and keep his name before
the people for few days longer. The
ex-governor is a has been" and it is
time that he should realize it.
