Avoids BIunders of Oklahoma,

est. Louis Globe Dcmocrnt.)
Obeying the warning issued by the
republican congress. the people Of
TNew Mexico have just finished fran
ing a state constitution which avoids
the blunders committed by the Okla
Romans when doing a like work a
few years ago. They avoided all
| freak propositions and restricted
themselves to the shaping or Il gen
cral outline of broad principles OF
government. leaving the legislature "A
free hand to deal with specific dues-
tions as they arise. In this respect
they were guided by the practice of
the men who met In Philadelphia a
century ana Il quarter 3 to frame
the great charter under which the
| American people have lived ever
since, and which has needed only a
few alterations to make Il meet all
the crisis which have come up dur
ing the life of a rapidly growing and
vast nation.
New Mexico's Constitutional con-
Vention met In Santa Fe on October
3 and completed IT'S labors and adj
iourned on November 81. The con-
stitution will be submitted to the peo-
pie Of the territory I'm the latter part
Of January. II 1t is ratified. ms it
probably Will be, II VIII be handed
over to congress for examination, ana
~ IL meets favor there the president
will say this in g proclamation, and
then 1t viii choose state and national
officers and be ready FOR representa-
ton in when the new scs-
sion opens on the first Monday OF
December, 1871. Its people believe
that these formalities can be gone
through with early enough To permit
IL To place the forty-seventh star on
the flag by July 4th next. The conn
try would be glad to see this aspira-
ton gratitied.
II must be remembered that IN this
important business of charter making
New Mexico began sanely. Among
the several score men who were
chosen 10 the constitutional convent
ton all activities were represented.
The republicans were largely in me
majority. In this respect IL made q
very wide and creditahle departure
from the oklahoma example Unlike
the assemblnee al Guthrie i'm 1906,
There were no freaks and faddists
among the santa Fc charter makers.
Every man among them took his tnsk
seriously. He was chosen to assist I'm

Chatting Dish Supper

There wal Il classy chatting dish
supper up at Hokona hall Thanks
giving night. given by a crowd of the
Varsity girls. 1t was q real live col
lege affair and a number Of town
people were guests for the delightful
evening. Much Qualification other
than the spread. was in order and
the evening was Il short and merry
one. The hostesses were Miss Eliza
beth Lane, Hazel Cox, Clarice Coon,
Julia Pickard, Florence Pickard,
Lena Sterling, Evelyn Everitt and
Marie Parish. The guests-everyone
that had an invitation to go.
Speaking of the Varsity dormitory,
reminds me: A bunch of goats wan
dered past the college on the hill he
other day and a bunch of boys es-
pied them from afar. Said bunch of
boys corraled said bunch Of goats and
drove them toward air I1okona; the
fair inhabitants being away. The
goats went in and the boys stayed out.
The damage was terrific: the worst
disaster being the destruction of q
looking glass which one goat persist
ed in believing was another goat. Talk
about your pigs in a parlor-its moth
ing compared to goats in q girls
dormitory. which wrought more havoc
do the rearing, tearing goats
kept by Elks. Masons and others.
And-that's the reason why some
Of the boys didn't go to the chating
dish party.

regarding the proposed building of a
road from Indiana Harbor to whiting
No sooner had it been decided by the
city council that the improvement
would be made, than property owners
on the various streets which would be
available as the outlet for the cross

ears of the committeeman reasons Just
why the street on which their property
was located was the only logical high

gest industries to locate within its bor-

its plant in case Guthrie street is de-

w. B. Van Horne, who repres ents the
interests of the company in legal way
in Indiana Harbor, had Mr. Marshall in

visit to Mayor A. G. Schlieker to see
what could be done about the matter,
While Mayor Schlieker did not commit
himself. he acknowledged the force Of
Mr.. Marshall's and Attorney Van

take the matter up with the council
and see what could be done.

They purchased the particular tract on
which their plant is to be located, at
an unusually high figure, for the sole
reason that here they could enjoy corn
