GOSPEL CAMPAIGN TO
SAVE FACTORY WORKERS

New York, Feb. 5.-The gospel cam
paign for the salvation of the factory
laborers of Greater New York was IN
augurated today with the holding of
about fifty meetings in as many work
shops scattered throughout the city.
When the whistle sounded for noon
the hungry workmen were greeted by
the loud notes of a cornet and mem
bers of church committee passed
among them distributing programs
and religious literature. Afterwards
a clergyman stationed at each of the
workshops delivered a brief sermon.
At many of the shops audience was
scant, the men u~lreasonably prefer
ring to go to their meals rather than
listen to a sermon
The movement was originated by
Of Churches and Christian Orgaaiza-
tons and the meetings will be con-
tinued for tea days. Services will be
held only in factories where 100 or
more men are employed. There are
about 1000 of such institutions in the
half of them have granted permission
for the meetings. Prominent Protest
mi clergymen oil all denominations
will aid in the work, including asuch
well known religious leaders as the
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, the
Rev. DR.. John Peters. the Rev. DR..
George Alexander and the Rev. DIR.
J. G. Fagg.
The plan carried out today and to
be used on succeeding days is to hold
fifteen minute meetings IN workshops
where work is suspended at moor for
half an hour, and thirty minute meet
ings in workshops where a full hour
is allowed for luncheon.

FORMULATE CONSTITUTION
FOR NEW MEXICO,

Santa Fe. N. NJ, Feb. 5.-Despite
the fact that the outlook for New Mex
lean statehood is now decidedly
gloomy. plans for the formulation of a
model constitution are being consid-
cred at a meeting of prominent citi-
zens here today. Several addresses
will be made by well known men of
the Territory advocating a constitu-
tional convention and the legislature
has been appealed to for aid in the
project. While a great many people
do not consider the matter seriously,
the promoters of the movement are
very much in ar1es and it is likely
that New Mexico will Don lave a cor
stitutio1, ever though statehood be de
layed for many years. Chairman L.
B. Prince reports that the governors
of several states have sent copies of
constitutions and other documents.

DENY THAT RAILROADS
CONTROL THE LEGISLATURE.

That statement, recently made be-
Iowa attorney, that the railroads on
troll the New Mexico Legislature, and
that it is practically impossible to
successfully bring a suit for damag-
es under the existing laws in this
territory, has caused considerable
comment among the members of the
Legislature and has been vigorously
denied.
1t is admitted, however. that the
law is a very bad one, and there will
be no great amount of opposition to
its repeal by congress.

hour all but from 81 to S. each. that
they kept to live on for the coming
week. This / followed up for three
weeks, and each week it was the
same thing over. 1t did no good to talk
to the men. All l could get from them
was, that if there were no saloons to
gamble in they might have left.
Another particular feature among
these men was that they were not
drunkards. They would take one or
two drinks and hat was all. Now l
am sure in this particular bunch OF
men that if there had been no gam
bling they would have had more cash
to take home, and would nave done
so. Some men nave no control over
themselves when it comes to gamb-
ling, and as 1 said before, if you a
get a law prohibiting gambling and
will see that it is enforced, even if
o nave to remove a few officials to
get the law enforced. you will do more
than n other person or set of per
sons hav ever lone for the people
of New Mexico.
THE licensing of the saloon should
be high, and there should be a severe
penalty for selling liquor below a GER
tain grade. Al inspection system that
would vigorously inspect would do
much for the poor set that buys cheap
wine at 25 cents a bottle, and which
in a short time kills the drinker or
sets him crazy.
1.-The reform school is badly need
ed, and l hope that your recommends
ton on that will carry. No better mes
sage was ever sent to the legislature
in New Mexico, and if you never send
you will have earned the
gratitude of every well wisher for the
people of New Mexico.

COMMENT ON HUDSPETH'S
THREE CENT FARE BIZ


The Las Vegas Optic comments as
follows Oh Representative Hudspeth's
bill making the maximum railroad
fare TO be charged in the territory
three cents:
Representative Hudspeth's railroad
bill at Santa Fe contains a provision
fixing three cents a mile as a maxi
mum ate for passenger fares. This
rate will not interfere with the big
railroad system in the territory, but
short lines that have comparatively
speaking but small passenger traf-
fic to depend upon. Mileage books of
1000 miles are now sold by the Santa
Fe system and other big railroads in
the territory at three cents per mile.
The Santa Fe system for rel twenty
years has charged foul rent per mile
local rates The Colorado & South
ern which operate about e~ighty-five
miles in northeastern New Mexico,
charges three cents per mile, and the
Santa Fe Central charges five cents
per mile. On the latter road this does
not seem to be an exorbitant charge"
To a mar not up a tree, it seems
enough on any line. and now that all
over the country a two cent fare is
being fixed, Mr.. Hudspeth's bill seems
reasonable enough, and the railroads
are lucky to gel off with that
