One of the most sensational things which has
ever happened in court of justice in New Mexi-
co occurred in the District court at Roswell on the
18th of this month"; when three ladies went behind
the bar and presented a man on trial for murder
with bunch of flowers.
On investigation it was found that one of the
attorneys for defense gave them permission to go
behind the bar and speak to the prisoner without
knowing they intended to exhibit sympathy for
him in any other way.
At noon when the jury were out to dinner
Judge Pope called the parties before him and lee
tured them, stating that, had such demonstra-
ton been made by the prosecution he would have
been compelled to discharge the jury.
While it is right for people to sympathize
with persons accused Of crime, and the law con-
siders them innocent until proven guilty, yet it is
an offense against justice to make any demonstra-
ton before a jury and we are surprised that any
one should do such a thing in the courts of this
territory.

Tourist travel to New Mexico should be en-,
couraged in every possible way, especially by the
railroads, namely; The Santa Fe railway, the
Rock Island, and the Missouri and Denver & Ric
Grande systems. BY making low tourist rates
with return limits of sixty and ninety days ia
the principal towns Of the territory from Chicago
and the Missouri river points these rates could
and would increase travel to this Territory very
much. For their own good and in order to build
up the Territory, which is giving them much
profitable business, the roads in question should
do so.

lawlessness in the State. The resolutions
contain these expressions:
'All patriots view with alarm the trend
of events in the mob spirit and violence
rampant in our beloved Republic, which
if continued will subvert law and order
for which we have fought out and settled,
as we thought, on the field, and for which
we are standing for to-day. We as soldiers
of 1861 to 1865, hasten to place our seal of
condemnation on the present tendency to
lawless action and its supporters and abet-
tors. No matter what head it may come
under, either through labor unions, social
ism or anarchism, all attain the same re-
suits. We hold that all men should stand
equal before the law, be he white, black,
yellow or red. In all cases punish the
criminal speedily, but protect him until he
is declared guilty by court Of competent

their sons with them until they are IA and

they must go outside and earn their own
living. The wives of the veterans have
the right to make their homo there until
they die. even after the death Of their hus-
