CUTTING OUT WORK FOR MIR.
 TAFT

The Christian Herald of New York has taken a vote on The most inn portant task before President Taft Expressions were obtained from 200 persons, including senators, represen- tatives, military men, business men and labor leaders and that broad class which may be called publicists, governors of states, educators, au- thors, artists, lawyers and judges. Two hundred replies were received, one reply frequently enumerating sev- eral tasks.
 The revision of the tariff leads all other recommendations, being men, tioned in 105 letters. Three of the letters regard the ballot for women as the most important matter and for that matter most of us will agree that a greater task could not be imposed upon MT. Taft than that
 Sixty-eight of the writers urge continuance of the Roosevelt policies while fourteen favor an administra- tion that will result in a restoration of business confidence. Among the voters under this head is Thurlow Weed Barnes Of New York, who de- mands that the country be led back to sanity.
 A federal divorce law is advocated by seventy-six voters and a parcels post by seventy voters. Fifty-eight want Q larger navy and nine voters want the army and navy reduced. Ten demanded a fairer distribution of wealth and six, an unmuzZled press.
 At any rate, MT. Taft will find plenty of people willing to find plenty for him to do.

A NEW MEXICAN CONSTITUTION.
 The Santa Fe New Mexican the other day felt so sure of statehood either at the present session or the coming extra session that it advised immediate steps for a constitutional convention, so that no time would have to be fooled away getting up a constitution.
 The Albuquerque Journal reminded the New Mexican that fifteen years ago that impatient territory plucked an unripe constitution and suggested that this time it would be well to wait until statehood had actually been conferred.
 Says the Journal: "A little spasm of economy on the part of the legis lature would do a good deal more to boost the cause of statehood, than the appropriation of a large sum of money for the holding of a consti- tutional convention before we have any necessity or authority Tor the framing of a constitution. A little careful attention given to the prac- tical affairs of the territory will do us a great deal more good at home and in congress"
 In view of the developments in the senate territories committee last Sat urday. the New Mexican and the Journal need pursue this controversy no longer. There are many things on the New Mexican program prece- dent to a constitution-many things that it will take New Mexico a long time to accomplish-a cleaning of the Augean stables is not the least Of the tasks set for New Mexico.

The resignation of Chairman Adams from the fair commission supplies, we believe, the best solution of a problem affecting the territorial fair in the controversy which has sprung up around it. For some time there has been a crystallizing of sentiment in the egislature-both for MT Adams and for the administration and in the end there would probably have been an adjournment without any provision for the fair. The step taken by Mir. Adams prevents a fur ther division in the legislature and no doubt the usual appropriation bill will be passed.

MORE PoWE Err.

the Interstate commerce commission Is

the injustice which il practiced by the

enlarged powers for The commission,
NJ. Ncwcomb says:
THE characteristic functions of the
commission are Those of hearing COM
