litical hypocrisy ever brought before
his or any other legislature, and with
only the thinnest attempt at conceal
of heaven to serve the devil in" 1t
is a hundred times more to be depre-
Gated thar the most reckless extra
employees scheme that could be de-
vised, because the latter, at it's worst,
could only fitch a few thousands from
a well filed treasury, and would put
the money in some cases where it
would do good, but the other strikes
a blow at the very foundations of civ
ilized government, and seeks to make
a farce of our criminal Jurisprudence
by putting the power of choosing our
prosecuting officers into the hands of
men whose official crookedness is
most likely to merit prosecution.
BUT IF THE LEGISLATURE RE
ALLY BELIEVES THAT THE ENDS

SERVED BY MAKING THE DIS
TRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICES Ell
ECTIVE INSTEAD OF APPOINTIVE
WHY NOT SAY THATg The pending
proposition merely provides for trans
ferring the appointing power from
the Governor to the legislature for
the next two years, and the next leg
islature will probably consider itself
fully as competent as the present body
and repeal the time limit. Now, the
people may have as much confidence
in the ability of the legislature to
max good selections as they have
in that of the Governor, but they
haven't 4 more, and yet the adop-
ton of the pending proposition would
be simply an official declaration by
the members of the legislature that
they consider themselves more COM
potent to discharge this important
duty than any man who may be Gov
er1or of the Territory. This might
not be regarded as an evidence of SUI
perior ability but there would be no
discount OF it as an exhibition of ego
tism of very high quality.

To a representative of the New Mexi-
can regarding the demand by the peo-
pie of Artesia for a aew county to be
called Artesia with their town as the
county seat, Colonel Ballard said:
81 am pretty well acquainted with
conditions in the Pecos Valley, hav-
ing been a resident of that section for
the last twenty-eight years. l might
say / ave grown up with it. / came
there when / was quite a boy and
have remained there ever since. The
interests of Roswell and of Chaves
County are certainly my interests as
everything | have in the world is To-
Gated there. I believe that the best
interests of the counties of Chaves
and Eddy demand that the new county
be not created, especially not at this
ment to Eddy County which is strug-
Cling and would cut off much of the
taxable property located therein and
which should remain with the County
of Eddy until much more population
and mucn more taxable property are
there han now exist. Chaves County
is more populous and much richer
than Eddy County, but even Chaves
could not afford at this time to con-
sent to ACKNOWLEDGMENT and to the tax
ing of part of its domain for the Gre
alton of a new county. The project
ton which it is to make into a new
county is not yet ready for That pur-
pose. | am not overdrawing when |

We are warned by the Good Book
that we cannot hope to catch a bird
if we allow the bird to see us spread
ing the net for it. And some of the
schemes which the boodlers are try
ing to work through the present leg
islature serve to remind us very fore
IDLY of the truth of that old saying.
Take for example, the bill which pre-
tends to be for the purpose of giving
the people of each judicial district
the power to choose, at the polls,
their own district attorney. This net
is so poorly disguised that h blind
est legislature EVER assembled in the
Territory could not fail to see it: The
talk of giving the people the power
to choose their own officials" is all
very good and very effective. but that
is not the purpose of this bill at all.
and everybody can see it.
At present the power to appoint dis
trfct attorneys is lodged with the
Governor and the Territorial Council.
and the people believe that the pres
ent Governor will nominate, and the
present Council confirm. as such of
fcers, only such able and honest at
torneys as will do their duty faithful
ly. and prosecute criminals in or Out
of Office to the bitter end, regardless
or party or pull" The boodlers are
also convinced of this, and for that
reason they a to take the appoint
i've power away from where it is now
lodged, ami put 1t in the hands of a
faw little cliques of irresponsible po-
litical heelers. who can be trusted to
stand with the grafters irrespective
OF the interests OF the public.
THAT is THE OBJECT OF THE
BILL IN QUESTION AND THE on
LY OBJECT. All the grandiloquent
talk about defending the rights of
the sovereign people," Is merely for
the purpose OF throwing dust In the
of the same sovereign people,
