AN UNPLEASANT REFLECTION

Artesia Advocate.
The editor of the Advocate has
been mailed a copy of tx Lamity's
Harpoon," a periodical published at
Austin, Texas, by that redoubtable
defender Of virtue, lin print) J. S.
Bonner, which contains a lengthy ar
ticle entitled "A Disgrace to New
Mexico" 1t is a red hot arrangement
of a gambler at Roswell who ignored
the law against sodomy and married
a negro woman a few weeks ago.
We are personally acquainted with
Bonner and it is no surprise to IS
shat he peels the hide OF all parties
concerned, but the class Of advertis-
ing is not the kind we are willing to
pay for at this particular time in New
Mexico history The Advocate, as
well as the Roswell papers, knew the
color of the contracting parties at the
time, but a sense of humiliation kept
rs from saying anything about it.
in this old world of inherent depravity
things sometimes happen in the best
regulated families that are not a pro-
life source of congratulation and this
is n of the saddest of the sad. This
is the first variegated marriage that
has V e occurred in New Mexico and
it will probably be the last. With
all the political jobbery and amateur
devilment that has sometimes charac-
teriZed the doings at Santa Fee, our
lawmakers never contemplated such
depths of depravity as this, so no law
was passed against it. Hence the

particulars. That feature requiring
the use Of the request blanks has been
entirely neglected and there seems to
have been more or less graft" in the
selling of bottles and cases, amount
ing to some $500 to 5000 per year.
While the committee failed to un-
earth anything positively startling,
enough was brought out to show that
the institution has been conducted
without proper regard to the law, and
this in the face of the fact that both
the county board and the State board
have been notified that such was the
case. On Thursday afternoon the
committee tok recess.
