Last Sunday morning thirsty in.
dlvlduals walking up the street found
a sign on the front door Of the Gem
saloon reading Ego to the back door,"
1t was conceded that II any one would
take chances with the Sunday law it
would be Mart Hardin, who is one OF
the best posted amatuer lawyers 10
the county, and no u surprised to
see the sign. A procession Of men so
dry that they were splitting cotton,
walked around the block, and they had
to go clear around TO get to his back
door, and there they found the sign,
reading in box car letters april Fool"
and then they remembered that par
ticular Sunday was the first day Of
April.

THE removal OF Assessor Anastacio
Gonzales of Santa Fe County for ineG1'
cheney and in%competency, should be a
warning to officials OF that class in the
Sunshine Territory. There are two oil
three assessors who may be brought
into the calcium light Of public opln'
ion for derellction OF duty II they dc
not mend their ways. This hint ought
70 be suficient.-New Mexican. The
fate OF Assessor Gonzales worries none
OF the other assessors OF the Sunshine
territory. After they make the assess
ment they are nov busy on they will
go out OF office anyway. The court
cannot find fault with the assessment
until 1t is made, and after 1t is made
the court cannot take away their COM
missions for making IL, and so they
consider themselves safe, and laugh at
the law that requires them to visit
every precinct and interview all the
property holders.

IT is a peculiar, but quite human
exhibition OF carelessness that has re-
Gently been exhibited in Clifton. A
year or so ago the town went wild be-

children II she had, for she spent her
time ia the saloons aud slums OF the

her. Did the good people OF Clifton
hold mass meetings, flourish %revolvers,
bring out the tar buckets, the feath-
ers, aud the ropes,and hunt for a place
TO hang the people interested In these
children? Not that it has been made
public, but the children were forum

THE election in Santa Fe Tuesday
indicates that the Eagle is as influen.

years been a great admlrer OF Mr.. Ca

Jimmie Squires, manager OF the
United States & Mexico Development
company, which is the owner OF the
Granite Gap mines, was in the city
Monday, and told the LIBERAL more
about the great strike the company
has made on the GOO foot level, notice
OF which was made last week. These
mines have for years been large pro.
ducers, the lead has been continuous,
but az times II has narrowed down TO
hut little more than a streak, and then
has b%rOadened out 50 that car loads
could be taken out 10 a short time.
Wise men, who are able TO see further
into the ground than a pick will strike,
have maintained that somatime an
enormously large body OF ore would be
encountered, and Mr.. Squlres thinks
the expected body is now opened up.
1t is more than four feet between the
walls, the entire face being shipping
ore. An analysis OF it shows that IL
carries 40 per cent lead, 10 iron, 20
lined cOpper,5 silica, with % ounces Of
silver and 81 worth OF gold. This is
the 1rst time either copper or gold has
been found 10 the ore from this mine,
and Mr.. Squires is wondering II there
is to be a material change in the char
acter Of the ore with greater depth. In
the meantime sinking will be con
tiuued, and by the time the 700 foot
level is reached more will be known
about the character OF this strike. Mr..
Squires has found It necessary to put
on a force Of met to clear waste out Of
the mine, that had been left there by
the previous management. When thl'
Is accomplished the ore eau be taker
out more cheaply.

THE JERsEYMEN DoDGED.

New Jersey comments in the New
York Herald called attention to the
action of the Jersey congressman in
lodging the compulsory pilotage bill
in congress in the following para
graph
New Jersey readers of the Con-
gressional Record noted with some
amusement that every member of the
house from this state "dodged" the
vote on the compulsory pilotage bill
last week. In the list of mot vot-
ing" were Gardner, Howell, Houden-
Slayer, McDermott, Parker, Van Win
kle, Wiley and Wood. 1t is said that
most, if not all, of these gentlemen
believe that on it's merits the bill
should have passed, but the strong
fight put up against it by the labor
organizations made 1t necessary for
them to have urgent engagements"
elsewhere. while the vote was being
taken"
BY this action these men show that
they were really in favor of the
measure, but did not have the cour-
age of their convictions.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IL.
THE POINT TO BE DECIDED.

"How law passed by the legis-
lature, that would be a law anyhow
by the mere neglect Of the governor
to approve, can be held to be invalid
because it was held by the governor
until some time after the session, and
the return Of which was not prevent
ed by adjournment, does no, appear.
Newark Advertiser.
Under ordinary circumstances t
would not change law one way or
another whether the governor signed
the bill an hour after. it was passed
by the legislature, or six months. The
mere time of executive approval or
disapproval cannot make a good law
bad, nor bad law good, but if the
constitution of the state says the bill
shall be signed within certain time
or else it is invalid, a bill which is
signed after that limit has expired,
becomes unconstitutional, whether It
be bad law or good law.
The state constitution says: IF
any bill shall not be returned by the
governor, within five days Sunday
excepted) after it shall have been pre-
sented to him, the same shall be
law in like manner as If he had signed
it, unless the legislature by their ad-
5ournment prevent its return, in
which case it shall not be a law"
To some people this clause in the
constitution may not appear to make
ga law invalid ii it is signed several
months after it has been passed by
the legislature, but it is sufficient to
raise doubt in the minds of many
and il is this doubt that the courts
are asked to clear away,
