mo SELECTIONS
By GOVERNOR
Of Delegates to
Constitutional
Convention
PEOPLE SHOULD ELECT
Present Delegates or Such
to Be Chosen Hereafter
Should Do the Work.

Governor George Curry was seen
by representative Of the New Mexi-
can this forenoon In the matter OF the
calling Of the constitutional conven-
ton for the framing of constitution
for the Sunshine State in the early
future. He was requested to state
what his views were on the personnel
OF the convention should one be called.
He said:
i do not favor the suggestion that
the selection of delegates to that i'm
portant body be left to the governor
OF the territory, to myself or to any
other governor. am firm believer
in the policy that the members of such
an important gathering as a constitu-
tional convention should be selected
by the people and by majority of
the voters as the majority rules under
our form Of government. do not
think any man no matter what his
name or what his station. should be
entrusted with such important and far
reaching power. The delegates should
represent the people for whose gov
ernment and administration they arc
to frame fundamental state law.
These delegates should be men of the
people, elected by the people and
coming directly from the body Of the
people and should be fully acquaint-
ed with the desires, wishes and ideas
of their constituents and imbued with
the principal of doing what is right
and proper for the greatest good for
the greatest number. | would not like
the responsibility Of making selec-
tions Of delegates to such body as
a constitutional convention and would
not think it right or proper to as
sumo such responsibility In my
opinion the delegates heretofore Sc
lected will do very well indeed for the
work. Should, however, President
Roosevelt and the national admins
tration deem 1t preferable and wise
to select men freshly from the people
and in touch with present ideas, hopes,
wishes and conditions, Of New Mexi-
co.'s citizenship then and in that case
| think it best that new election be
called for the choosing of such dele
gates.
Again l desire to say that I am
strongly and unequivocally in favor
of immediate single statehood for New
Mexico and for the admission of the
Territory into the sisterhood of
states should an enabling act be pass
ed at the coming session of the 60th
Congress by approval of the constit,i-
tion and by the statehood vote there.
after, provided President Roosevelt
thinks favorably OF the project and
the Republican senators and members
Of the house can be united in vot-
ing for an enabling act as soon as the
Goth Congress meets"

purpose of considering the question Of

Mr.. Jones has announced himself

a part OF the business OF the IA-es
man and miner il his vicinity but
the consumer, who has been caught
by the Cheap" prices offered, has
not got what he has been paying for
by a long way, and there is no way
for him to get even.
As it has proved with the groceries
sent out by the eastern mail order
houses, so it is with the other lines
they work of in Montana. The sad
dies and harness offered at phenom-
enally low prices, the buggies and
wagons, at prices which seem almost
like giving the vehicles away, the
kitchen utensils which are priced In
the voluminous catalogues at figures
that indicate the local merchants are
highway robbers, the dry goods that
are offered at such ininitesimal cost
as to compel the ordinary woman to
believe the mail order man is,a public
benefactor, all of these eastern mail
order house offerings are on a par
with the proved quality of the gro
ceries they have been selling-fraudu-
lent and put out to sell and not for
service. The confession on the gro
ceries should make the eastern mail
order house patrons think before they
send off another order for Cheap
goods. Helena Record.

THICKER FABRICS COMING IN.
Smart Novelty Material Is Known a:
BengaIinette.

Great appreciation is being shown
this spring for a novelty material
known as bengalinette, a new edition
of Bengaline-in other words, a silk
fabric with a ribbed surface. The
~marquisette has been a la mode two
years and continues in popularity. But
courtiers are on the lookout for a ma
terial a trifie sitter than these chiffon
goods and bengalinette meets the re-
quirements.
The new fabric is in evidence in all
colors, but it is particularly seductive
in pale green and old pink. Green was
a big factor in the SOS of the last cen
fury and the second empire modes
now being revived are an example of
how much in vogue all styles of the
last SO years are and will be. The
empire as brought forth a year and
a half ago is seen no more except for
evening wear in light transparent
goods, and the drapery is particularly
adaptable to that class of goods.
There is quite a change in the quail
ity of goods used this spring from thai
in vogue for a very long time past
Now the makers and diapers are show
ing goods that have decided body tc
them. In other words, the chiffon no
character stuffs are passe,
The handwriting on the wall points
to less coquettish modes, aor certainly
stiff materials will not take all the
fullness in drapery and elaboration il
handiwork that frocks have received

Tree Planting by Squirrels.

Those who have argued that in
stinct that will lead a squirrel to bury
a nut for winter use will lead him to
find it when the winter comes mag
find some facts in the ~Statehouse
yard that will cause his faith in this
statement to shake a little.
Let him examine the lawn on each
side Of the walk leading from the gate
at the northwest corner Of the
grounds, where most of the visitors
feed the squirrels, and he will see that
the grass is thickly studded with the
shoots of many kinds Of nut trees and
bushes, each one springing from a
buried nut that the squirrel which bur
led it did not dig up. One who sees
this must credit the squirrel with hav'
ing much to do with the planting Of
our forests.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and ineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
