Delegates from all parts of New
Mexico are now assembled at Santa
Fe TO enter into the long and arduous
work of formulating a state consti-
tuition. The campaign which resulted
in the choosing of these delegates
was clean and dignified. The same
issues claim attention in New Mexico
that were so strongly in evidence
when statehood was granted Okla
homa. but In New Mexico there is lit
tie indication of that fanatical rad
icallsm which impressed itself so
deleteriously upon Oklahoma's fun
damental law.
The majority of the delegates of
New Mexico are conservative repub-
licans whose loyalty and wisdom will
dominate the convention. This fact
viii be gratifying to the enthusiastic
friends of the aspiring state who
stood sponsor for its sanity in the
days when il needed friends to in
fluence legislation at Washington in
behalf Of the statehood bill. The
best and practically the only friends
that New Mexico and Arizona ever
had at the national capitol were
leaders of the republican party.
Now the new state Is to adopt con-
stitution that viii be conservative.
Reports from Santa Fe indicate that
there win be a safe, conservative ma
jority and that the new constitution
will be free from initiative and refer
endum and other popuiistic Vagaries-
1t will be a plain matter-of-fact in
strument based on the fundamental
doctrines of the country, as advised
by President TAFT.
That New Mexico Is safely repub-
lican win prove something of a sur
prise even to the republicans them
selves. During the various debates
on the floor of congress 1t was gem
orally understood that considerable
doubt existed as to the political COM
pleXion Of the new state. But for
New Mexico to come into the union
at this time not only as a repub-
lican state, but as a state committed
to rational conservatism Is a matter
for congratulation and indicates that
from the very start the new state
is TO take a high place in the sister
hood. If New Mexico throws open Its
doors 20 capital for the development
of its splendid resources and refuses
TO harken to the voices of political
demagogues 1t win enjoy unlimited
prosperity.

A STRONG DEFENDER.

New Mexico has 1T least one good
defender IN leading Chicago daily
which has done much to advertise
our resources. Answering a recent
article IN the New York Sun" the
Chicago Tribune" says:
some dissatisfied person has writ
ten complaining Of the number Of
Mexican names Ia the membership Of
the constitutional convention Of New
Mexico. He infers that the prepon-
derance Of foreign names IN that body
argues an inability or unwillingness TO
construct an instrument in accord
ance with our national constitution.
This is cheap know nothing fling.
About flfty delegates own Mexican
names, IL Is true. but some Of these
are names Of families which We're

in Eastern and Western
Cities.

Phoenix. Ariz., Oct. 15.-one of the
most important of the many gather
ings to be held in Phoenix curing
fair week viii be 9 convention of the
secretaries OF Arizonas s commercial
bodies. At this meeting a combina-
ton of all boards of trade and cham
bers of commerce in the territory for
the maintenance of bureau in Los
Angeles and one in the east for the
mutual benefit of the various con-
tributing cities, and the combination
likewise OF the commercial organiza-
tion in advertising the resources of
Arizona, will be discussed and per-
haps effected as a result
The idea for an organization of
commercial secretaries seems to have
originated simultaneously in the
minds of Secretary Harry Welch of
the Phoenix board of trade and Sec
retary III. V. Fallor of the Tucson
chamber OF commerce. Secretary
Failor, however, was the first to
start the ball rolling, with a letter
to the Phoenix board during the abb
sence of Mr.. Welch in Los Angeles.
Promptly upon his return Secretary
Welch answered the letter and since
that time q convention, or meeting,
has been definitely decided upon,
while a program therefor has been
tentatively outlined. A call for the
meeting has been sent over the ter
ritory. 1t Is expected that the Sec
retaries of the commercial bodies
maintained by Phoenix, Glendale.
Tempe, Mecca, Tucson, Globe, Doug
las, Yuma and several other cities
will be present and make addresses.
Some of them will read papers.

ADVICE OF BAR IS
REQUESTED
Judge Parker Chairman on
Judiciary Wants Opinions Of
the Lawyers,

The following letter has been adj
dressed TO members of the bar by
Judge Frank w. Parker, chairman of
the committee on judiciary, in the
constitutional convention:
"As chairman Of the committee on
judicial department of the constitu-
tional convention, l desire to have the
benefit of your advice as to the con-
struction Of the Judicial system of the
state.
Il assume that all are agreed that
there shall be a separate supreme
court, consisting Of not less than
three judges. Their tenure of office
is O matter to be considered, as well
MS the compensation which is to be
awarded them. II is urged by some
that the tenure Of office shah be long,
and by others that ii should be com
parativoly short and moderate.
The method Of their appointment
or election is also a question to be
seriously considered. on the one
hand, 1t Is urged that they should be
nominated by the executive. and by
and with the consent of the senate
appointed, and should hold their Of
flee for q long term, or, perhaps, dur
ing good behavior. ON the other hand
Il Is urged that they should be elected
by the people.
"As to the courts of general jurIs-
dlctlon, a great difference Of opinion
exists. Some urge that the jurisdic-
tion OF district courts should be eN-
tended so as to include many matters
not now within the jurisdiction Of our
district courts; as for instance. the
probate jurisdiction. on the other
hand. Il Is urged that there should be
established a county court with limit
ed criminal jurisdiction extending to
all misdemednors, and including pro-
bate jurisdiction, and, perhaps the
county judges should also preside as
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners.
"The provisions IN regard TO the Jus
tices of the peace also deserve care
nl consideration. That many of the
infirmities, and possibly some of the
abuses which exist in regard to the
administration of justice before these
courts, may be limited is the desire
of this committee.
"The committee feels the need or
the advice ana counsel Of the menu
bers OF the bar throughout the terri
tory. and IL will be pleased to receive
IN writing any suggestions which any
member OF the bar may see fit to
make. It is requested that these sug-
gostions be submitted promptly with
view that the work of the commit
tee may be completed within few
days,
'The committee will hold open ses-
sion twice each week, and viii be glad
10 meet personally any members OF
the bar, or any citizens, who desire
20 make suggestions"

The constitutional convention

for the state of New Mexico as
sembled at the selected capital, Santa
Fe on Monday. 1t can be announced
i'm advance that there will be no freak
constitution for New Mexico. The con-
ventiOn consists of seyenty-one repub-
leans and twenty-nine democrats, ana
the organization of the body ON Mon
day indicates that conservative ideas
win predominate in adopting the first
constitution. Such experiments as the
initiative and referendum, the recall
statewide prohibition and other gov
ernmcntal theories that are yet in the
raw will be left for special legisla-
tion. IL popular sentiment In New
Mexico should ultimately demand
them.
If has been assumed by the organ
ization leaders of the democratic
Marty in advance of the constitutional
convention elections that both New
Mexico and Arizona would organize
under democratic influences and that
these two new states would send TOUR

B|SON'S FUTURE IS

SURVEY CHIEF
Forty-Seven Animals Now in
Herd on FIathead Indian
Reservation With Fine Range.

Washington, d. c., oct 16-The
future of the American bison, popu-
arly known as the buffalo, is secure.
This is the belief of DR.. Henry Hen
shaw, chief of the biological survey
Of the department. of agriculture, who
has just returned to Washington from
a trip to the west, in the course OF
which he Inspected the new govern
ment buffalo herd that has been es-
tablished in a reservation set apart
for the purpose in the old Flathead
Indian reservation.
Dr.. Henshaw is pleased with the
outlook OF the herd, and says that the
location is ideal, and that the ami
mails are doing as well as could be
wished. The range has been fenced.
and contains $4,000 acres There are
about forty-seven animals now in the
herd, and there were added this sum
mer nine female calves that are as
fine specimens as could be hoped for.
In speaking of the matter, DR.. Hen
shaw said.
We'll Adapted to Purpose.
"The range is beautiful, just to the
liking of the animals, and with enough
grass country. wood and hills to give
them the diversity they need. Mission
creek. which is a good sized stream,
runs through the range, and there are
tributaries and a number of cold
springs.
I'VE were fortunate in the man we
got for a herder. His name is Hedges.
and he used to be "A game warden in
Colorado. He is fond of animals and
looks after the herd Wen.
