ARGUES DICE ORDINANCE
is NOT DISCRIMINATORY
HanIey Files Brief in Defense
of New City Law

The ordinance empowering custom
ers Of a saloon or cigar store to shake
dice among themselves to determine
who shall pay for the drinks or the
cigars, but denying proprietors or en-
ployes of such place of business the
right TO shake dice with customers,
was defended in a brief filed by AS
sistant District Attorney Hanley with
Judge Conley yesterday. Arguing
some weeks ago that the ordinance is
unconstitutional. Attorney J. j. Greeley
raised the point that it is discrimina-
tory in that ii makes it a crime for
the proprietor or employee TO do what
any other person may do In reply
TO this. Hanley points out tkat 1t has
been repeatedly held that "all that is
necessary to constitute uniformity is
that the law shall operate uniformly
upon all persons in the same category
and upon rights and things in the same
relation"

Do Your Shoppins Early.
The Ell Paso Herald gives som,


good advice when II says:
Shop early; early in the. day.
early in the week, early in the
month, and early in the season.
Many of the merchants have be-
gun to display their holiday
stocks. The stocks at the be-
ginning of the holiday season are
complete and the goods in per-
feet condition. There is very
little saved in a money way by
putting off the holiday shopping,
and there is a good deal lost
through the depletion of stocks
and the annoyance that invar-
iably accompanies the final rush.
Christmas is only a few weeks
of.
Those who intend to make
Christmas gifts must be already
purchasing their materials and
starting to work.
1t viii be well for people to
make out their gift lists now
and begin poking around in the
stores for the little seasonabls
novelties that can best be dis,
Governed before the shop pro
prietors and salespeople are worn
out with hard work and owe
hours. and before the new stock
of the merchants are all pawet
over and confused.
Early shopping Is one Of thu
best ways to practice the tru
Christmas spirit.

The Court House Question.

On Tuesday, December sew
enth, the voters Of Luna county
will have q special election for
the purpose of voting bonds to
build a court house, and it is to
be seriously hoped that the ques-
ton will carry and that those
having the matter in charge will
get busy and give us a suitable
place to transact the county's
business.
1t is hardly in keeping with
the wealth and dignity of the
great county OF Luna to have
our people transact public bust
ness in anything but a public
building, when we can now SO
easily obtain that for which we
have so long sought.
Deming is too good a town
and Luna too good a county to
be longer without a court house
and we have very great faith Ia
believe that the voters will show
their spirit of progress by vot.
ing in favor of the proposition.
With so many good things al.
ready here and so many Others
coming, we can not afford to
take any steps backward.
The Graphic can always be
counted on the side of what
will benefit this town, thi!
county or this territory.

Gov, George Curry.

Deming has been distinctively
honored this week by being
priviledged to entertain the hon.
orable George Curry, Governor
of New Mexico.
During the course of a friend
ly chat Gov. Curry informed the
Graphic that he expected to re-
tire from Office March first, and
It goes without saying that un-
til that time he will be a mighty
busy man.
Gov. Curry is always a busy
man and he's always doing
something good for New Mexico,
and there is a feeling Of sincere
regret all over the territory that
he is so soon to retire from pub
lie service.
Curry is one Of the most win
ming of men to meet personally
and has countless hosts of
friends, including those who
don't wear kid gloves. He has
energy, activity, personal tact to
a rare degree, is sincerely de-
voted to his country and to his
friends and possesses a san
guine temperament that wins.
People in all walks in life
grasp his friendly hand and
each gets the same cordial
smile. No red tape is necessary
for the humblest citizon to get
the executive ear at Santa Fe,
and when the genial Governor
shall put an Eek" to his title,
his friends in New Mexico can
only be determined by the Of
fetal census, which includes the
new editor of the Graphic, who
has not yet become a legal resi-
dent of the territory.

HOW THE PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT
Theory That Explains Expenditure Of
Time and Labor.

No one has been able to decide how
the enormous stones in the pyramids
we're handled; for. even allowing for
the vast army Of men. some sort of
mechanical contrivance must have
been used.
Or theory Is that as each course
OF stone was laid sand embankment
was built around It with long, easy
slopes SO that the stones for the nert
course could be pushed on rollers
and slid into place, without any actual
lifting, and so on, the pyramid being
In fact buried as fast as 1t was built
until the top was reached, when the
stupendous job of removing the sand
emoankment was commenced.
This might account for the vast
army OF laborers used; for instance
1t is said that in building the great
pyramid of Cheops 1000 men were
employed for 30 years. although the
quarry from which the stone was oh
tained was nearly 5000 feet from the
pyramid.-Engineering Magazine.
