Southern New Mexico
 Against Joint Statehood
AN EDITOR FROM DEFINING TELLS OF THE SENTIMENT OF
 THE PEOPLE.
Very Few People Really in Favor of the Proposition, and Delegate Rodey ls Being censured for His Position. New Mexico Wants Separate and
 Independent Statehood.

MT. N S. Rose. editor of the Deming Graphic. was an arrival in this city yesterday in the interests of his pub lication. Mir. Rose has recently launch ed a new publication in Deming to be known as the Southwestern Advertis- CT. which has for its mission the at traction of additional capital to the Southwest in general and Southern New Mexico and Arizona in particular.
 Mir Rose reports his particular sec ton Of New Mexico in a prosperous condition. and many new houses in course of construction in Deming. When questioned regarding the senti- ment of the people of New Mexico re- cd withort hesitation. that the people in his part of the territory were bit terly opposed to it.
 New Mexicans have as much local pride in their territory as Arizonans have" said MT. Rose. and the senti- ment in my community is bitterly op- posed tc the proposed jointure."
 The people of New Mexico are sur prised and incensed over the action of Delegate Ro6ey iE countenancing such proposition for an instant. and in the event that the bill should be- come law there will be a large num- Der of New Mexicans whc would re- fuse to ratify the constitution"

THE BRITISH AND JAPANESE AL.
 LANCE

The alliance between Great Britain anG Japan is similar 10 the one be- tween France and Russia. in that Great Britain is under an obligation to go to the help cf Japan only in the event that it is attacked by two powers. In a similar way France is under an cb- ligation to help Russia only in case two powers attack it. ~
 It would seem from this that if ei- ther Great Britain or France takes part in the conflict the other will have to step in. This will probably have the effect of keeping both cut Great Britain will hardly join Japan in view cf the probability that such action would be equivalent to inviting an at tack upon itself from France.
 Frenchmen take the position that neither China nor Korea will be con sidered as a power" in the sense con templated by their treaty with Russia, and that hence they would be under no obligation to go tc Russia's assist ance if either Korea or China should throw itself to Japan's side. Neither of those countries are considered Of sufficient strength or adequate i'm pcrtance in international affairs to place France under an obligation be- cause of its treaty to join Russia in warfare upon Japan if the latter should receive the kind Of help indicated.
 Doubtless Great Britain would take the same position in case either Korea CT China should join Russia. It must in other words be a power that would menace the ally before its participa- tion in the conflict can place the oth' CT party to the treaty under an obliga- ton to take part in the war.

Fittsburx's Plan For the Disposal of
 Waste Paper.

Pfttsburg's Plan For the Disposal of
 Waste Paper.
 There is a new head to the bureau Of highways and sewers in Pittsburg. and the streets of the city are to be kept cleaner than ever before as well as in better repair, says the Municipal Jour- nal and Engineer. Director of Public Works Bigelow has appointed MT. E. G. Nicewaner, c. E., superintendent of the department, and already the latter has taken measures to keep the streets clean. One of the greatest sources of untidiness in the streets of any town or city is the waste paper that blows hbout and makes the streets unsightly. It blows of the wagons that carry the refuse of the dumps or is dropped upon the street by the careless pedes- uian who throws away his newspaper or some advertising dodger that has been handed him by boys or men dis Hibuting the same
 To dispose of this waste 1fr. Nicewa- ner has adopted the plan of stationing salamanders along the wbarfs. in which it will be burned. A salamander Is simply a large metal cage in which combustible stuf can be burned. Iu- stead of carting the waste paper to the dumps it will be burned in the saIa- manders. Business houses can send their waste paper to the salamanders and have it destroyed.
 The department has been using a number of small. portable wire sala- manders attached to the hokey carts. In regard to these Mir Nicewaner wrote, From the satisfaction they are giving I am inclined to believe that they will eventually solve the paper nuisance" When the cage full of paper Is gathered by the hokey man he retires to the nearest alley and ignites it. Tn . few moments he gathers up the hand full of ashes. dumps it in his can and then resumes his beat.
 The highway department is encour- aglng rcaseho;1ers to buy this sala- .ssander. for" writes Mfr. Nicewaper.

WANT SATURDAY
HALF HOLIDAY
Some City Employees Do Not
Favor the Other Proposed
Amendments to Charter
TO URGE GENERAL LAW
Bill Will Be introduced
in Next Legislature Cow
ering the Desired Point

A large. percentage of the Municipal
Civil Service Employees Association ex-
press themselves as not being in favor
of all the proposed amendments to the
charter affecting the service of the city
employees, which will be submitted to
q vote Of the people next November.
The amendments provide, in brief,
that all municipal offices be kept open
from a. m. to p. m; that each en-
ploye shall have two weeks vacation
with pay and be given a half-holiday
with pay every Saturday. The Satur-
day half-holiday is favored by most
Of the employees, but 1t is the opinion
Of some that the other two could be
dispensed with in order to insure the
success of the half holiday proposition
1t is the intention to have a bill in
troduced in the next Legislature pro-
viding for half-holiday in all public
offices on Saturdays. Even If a gen.
eral law is passed on the subject 1t
might be necessary to amend the char
ter in view of the constitutional pro-
vision giving San Francisco and other
cities the right to govern themselves
in matters municipal.
At all events it looks as though some
of the municipal employees will be found
working for but one proposed amend
ment relating to the half-holiday, al
though some Of the more enthusiastic
will urge the adoption Of all the propo-
sitions by the people.
