ed i'm New Mexico. and without using
his office in any way to influence leg

tanned from the assembly large por-
ton of the acts which he considered
necessary for the progress of the ter
ritory. His exceptional success with
legislation and the complete harmony
existing i'm all branches of the terri

more than a shock to the people
Prominent men in all parts of the
territory opened communication with
the governors office as soon as they
learned of the resignation. to urge
that il be re-considered. TO these re-
4ueses the governor during ;he day
turned a deaf ear. The refusal of the
secretary to allow him to visit Wash
ington had convinced him that he did
not have the full backing of the ad-
ministration without which he has al
ways held that no executive could sat
isfactorily conduct his office and this
had determined him in his intention
TO resign at once.
There has seldom been more uni
versal expression Of confidence in an
executive than has been given to gov
crnor Curry during the day by the
people OF New Mexico and when 1t
became known in Santa Fe tonight
that President Taft had suggested
that the governor should reconsider
his resignation, there were expressions
of satisfaction on every hand.
Following the receipt of the presi-
dents telegram tonight, Governor
Curry merely said that he had no
desire to take any hastv action and
that he expected to go to Washington
within a short time to discuss the
matter with the president.
The expressions of regret and dls-
approval that followed the announce.
ment that the governor had resigned
today were succeeded tonight by
urgent requests that he reconsider the
action of the morning and remain IN
the executive office, These express
sions have come from practically ev-
ory section Of New Mexico reached by
the telegraph and telephone. They
have indicated that the people are
we'll satisfied with Governor Currys
administration, that they desire no
change and that they hope the gov

His Eight Reasons Z"

Here the eight reasons which Governor Patterso
gives in his veto message for withholding his approve
from the bill
"First-As Democratic Governor [ feel it
duty and sacred obligation to sustain the plat
form of the Democratic party which distinctly
states the doctrine of local elf-government and
this directly opposes, defes and destroys it.
''Second-As the Governor Of all the people,
holding my commission from the majority, protest
in their against an act which will set aside
and hold for naught their recorded will.
s'Third-I veto this bill because experience has
taught the lesson, without single exception, that
arbitrary prohibition law was ever obeyed, and
ton, but rather leaves it like burr on the body
polite, to irritate and infame. Such has been the
in Maine, where after test of more than
fifty years under prohibition law VIGOROUSLY
evaded and defed for all that time it still remains
active political question to and harass the
sipp today witnessing the same disastrous
and disturbing results, and there is nothing in the
situation in Tennessee which will lead us to hope
that conditions will be different

name it may be called or whatever mistaken notions

send it abroad, foment discord instead of promoting
peace, and impair the dignity of the commonwealth

'Fifth-In the name of temperance [ refuse as
sent to an Incorporate measure which will
evil than it pretends to cure, and in the
of morality will not sanction law that will foster
Hypocrisy and invite evasion and deceit in the
people
''Sixth-FOr the manhood of Tennessee, proven
on every field of war and exemplifed in all her
glorious history of peace, do not approve legis-
lative guardianship which would make weazings
of her instead of leaving them unhampered and
unfettered by and sumptuary laws interfer-
ing with their personal rights and privileges
'Seventh-For the youth who will bear bur-
dens when gone, whose bodies minds and
souls should be robust with the hardy virtues Of the
from which they sprung, would forbid law
which would teach and set before them daily lessons
Of duplicity and evasion
''Eighth-In the name of our women, whose true
and heaven-born mission is to bless the home and
teach honor, courage and truth to their children,
who the strength, the inspiration and the
ing grace of man, [ condemn any which
will bring even part of them into the heated and
poisoned atmosphere Of political strife.''
Another Southern Governor
That is the declaration of one southern Governor
the drnk-selng question. Here is another Governor
Glenn of North Carolina said recently:
eff had the power to give this country the one
thing that think it most truly needs next to the
religion Of Jesus Christ and which in my Judgment
would be most conducive to the industrial educa-
ton and moral upbuilding Of the nation, I would
unhesitatngly give it strong national temperance
law, and compel it's enforcement by the proper
officers.

her garden politely asked her neighbor
several times to keep his pets at
home, but no attention was paid to
her grievance. Finally she hit upon an
ingenious method of protecting her
self. She prepared grains of corn by
tying to them with strong thread
small cards bearing the words, please
keep your chickens at home" and dis
tributed the grains about her flower
beds. The chickens came to feast as
usual and greedily swallowed the corn,
not preceiving the thread until the
card was against their beaks. Then
they could neither swallow the card
nor rid themselves OF the swallowed

ers ran home. bearing the polite re-

A Japanese husband is allowed only
one wife, but to marry is sometimes a
much more serious matter than with
us. Either the husband must be form
ally adopted into the family of the
wife or the wife into the family of the
husband, the couple being absorbed
into one family and subject to its
discipline. AS a rule, this custom
weighs more heavily on the bride than
on the husband. for she must not only
obey her husband, but every member
of his family of an older generation
than himself; hence a young woman
often longs for old age, so that she
may WELD authority over the younger
generations. To bring about a mar
