GOOD ROADS, FINER HOMES.

The good roads movement Is not
by any means a local spasm. In.
decd, II may be said with perfaet pro.
pricty. TO have become n national ls-
sue. and unlike most other issues, II
Is one that is upheld by all the live,
progressive people Of every section Of
the country. ana only the shiftlcss or
no-account classes. in any community,
that are opposed or indifferent. New
Mexico has managed to worry along
for a great many years with no roads
at all, while a few trails have been
made to serve the purpose. and hence
the general movement just now in all
parts of the territory, and in the legis-
laturo for good roads Is very pro-
perly regarded as ono OF the most
hopeful signs Of tho times.
But we have not been so much
more negligent in this regard than
some of our ncighbors. The failure
to make good country roads has been
practically n national sin. The follow
ing item which we clip from the Bal
timore Americaa shows that one of
the Oldest settled sections Of the east
Is in the same boat with the rest Of
us:

for statehood. This said appropriation
has been the subject OF much con-
troversy. Of commendation and de-
.nunication. As the entire territory
twas interested In the. matter of state
hood It was consfd ered but fair and
equitable that the taxpayers of the
entire territory should bear n little
Of the necessary burden Of sending n
committee to Washington TO work In
the interests of the state. and 1t was
50 understood when the %appropria-
ton was made. This money, how
ever, has been returned TO the treas
ury, the committee having refused to
accept II either In whole or in part.
With the exception of Gov. Curry the
committee Is still In Washington. In
their report 10 the legislature they
still pin their faith on the ultimate
success of their mission ana believe
that the incoming president will be
equally as Jealous In behalf of state
hood for the territories as President
Roosevelt has shown himself To be.

WHY NOT rsE THE OLD ONE?

IN view OF the reasonable proba-
hility of the passage Of an enabling
net az the coming extra session Of
congress-. or at farthcst at the next
regular session. the Santa Fe New
MEXICAN suggests the calling OF q con
vention rs the present territorial
legislature, to sit during the coming
summer. to frame a constitution for
the state. ana thus save time BY hnv-
Ing the work All donc ara ready, whom
the bin passes. To give us authority
to organize n state government.
But II should not be forgotten that
we went through NIL that preliminary
work some fifteen years ngo. with
tho expectation of being admitted
within n few months, we called a con-
ven.inn ana framed q constitution for
the state Of New Mexico. The CON
ventian was composed Of rs able men
as there were IN the territory. and he
constitution was as able q fundamen-
tai law as undcrlics the legal stric-
turc of any state IN the union. In
fact. Il was regarded, not only at
home. but throughout the country ms
q model document OF It's lind, ana II
is very doubtful whether a conven-
ton to frame Il constitution, why not
one that would be any better. Then
whilo we are going to save time by
having the legislature call a conven-
tlnn ot frame q constitution. why not
save n large amount Of money as we'll
az 4 little time, by having the legisla-
ture formally adopt or rntify and send
up 20 congress the excellent constiti-
ton which we already have?
The only valid objection That could
be urged to this alan would be that
congress usually makes a handsome
appropriation to pay the cost OF hold
ing a constitution convention when
Il now stnte IS TO be admitted, ana II
q doubtful whether such %approprla-
tion would be made II VI had our
constitution already prepared. but
thcn. tho safuc objection would hold
whether the constitution had been
framed this year or fifteen years ago,

under the New Mcxicnn's plan the
territorial treasury would be out some
fifty thousand dollars or more, In de-
fraying the expenses OF the convcn-
lion. while under the plan We sug-
g.st Il would not cost MS a cent. and
IL. possibly. congress should make
an appropriation we would be Just
that much ahead. and could put the
money into the good roads fund.
a little snasm Of economy on the
part Of the legislature would do a
good deal more To boost the cause of
statehood, than tho appropriation Of
a large sum OF money for the holding
of a constitutional convention before
wo have any necessity or authority
for the framing OF a constitution.
A little careful attention given to
the practical affairs of the territory
will do rs a great deal moro good,
at home and In congress, than the
spending of a great lot Of money In
attempting to pick "a state constitu-
ton before It's ripe.

juries Sustained on Account
Of Alleged Negligence Of City
Employees.

Elfego Baca, through his attorney
l.. Loughrey. filed a suit in the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon, ask
ing $4,000 damages from the city o
Albuquerque, alleging that as the re
suit of negligence on behalf Of TIN
city employees, he was injured ant
sustained business losses TO that ex
tent. Baca alleges hat he WAS hi
by the Highlands fire Wagon on tn
night OF october 2S last, while driv'
ing along Central avenue, and tina
the collision was caused by the care
l%essness of the driver of the wagon.
Baca claims that two of his rib
were fractured, his left hip anc
thigh injured; that his horse rar
away and sustained bruises ano
wounds, and hat his buggy was to-
tally destroyed. Baca alleges hat as
a result of the accident he was laid
up for two months, during which time
he was unable to attend to his bust
ness, and that he lost $4,000 by be-
ing prevented from managing his
business affairs and hat he expend-
ed $500 for treatment of his injuries.
Altogether, $1,000 is asked, which
sum. the plaintiff alleges. is due him
on account OF the alleged negligence
OF the city firemen.

A. Meyer, filed a suit yesterday ask
ing judgment against the Simpler

The whole day in the district court
yesterday was occupied in hearing the
case of j. +. Luthy and Mrs. Flor
ence =. johnson, versus the stock
holders Of the Terrace Improvement
company. The case was argued be-
fore Judge Ira A. Abbott in cham
bers. The plaintiffs seek to have
the court set aside and cancel a con-
entered into between the board
of directors of the Improvement com
pany and n majority of the stock
holders, and NJ. p. Stamm, whereby
purchased the Terrace addi-
tIon for $4,000. The plaintiffs base
their action on the grounds that the
paid by Stamm for the prop
crty was inadequate and that the di-
ana stockholders did not have
authority to sell II to him without the
of all the stockholders. 1t is
alleged that Mr.. Luthy and Mrs.
two of the stockholders, did
iot give their consent TO the sale of
