MEETING THE SITUATION.

The Record comes out this issue
with less print and in unsual form.
We have no apology to make. As
to the form, we will only state in
passing that we own the plant and
publish the paper, hence feel at
liberty to adopt most any old style
that suits our convenience. Ex-
planning the reason for shortpot-
ing our patrons on reading matter
we call your attention to the fine
display of pay ads that we haven't
got, and to our big list of unpaid
subscriptions. Under these con-
ditions we are compelled to get
the paper out at less expense, sus-
pend publication, or go in the
hole. So our pride levels to the
measure of our income. We are
sorry indeed to build downward
instead of upward, to contract in
stead of expand; but onr patron
age will not justify the building
process in the desired direction.
Early in our journalistic expe-
rience we were cautioned by an
older head to never, never try to
run 7-column paper in a 5-col-
umn town, and thirty years in the
field has taught us that the advice
was the voice of wisdom. When
times and conditions change the
Record will change with them
up or down, as the case may be.

CONSTITUTION OUT FOR INSPECTION.

The convention having conclud-
ed its work the constitution as pre-
pared is now before the people for
their consideration. While each
individual may have had and prob
ably has had a special hobby or
two they would like to have had
worked into the constitution, and
which has failed to find Judgement
in the instrument submitted, we
believe the majority of the voters
are reasonably we'll satisfied with
the output. While we may each
regret that our Individual ideas
have not been all incorporated,
there is a possibility we might in
time have regretted it more if they
had been adopted especially if
they had been hammered in so ex-
tremely tight that it would take
a sledge, cold chizel and drill to
remove them if we found them
not so good as we had them tab
bed. Anyway they haven't barr
ed future legislation. In the Judge
ment of the writer the best thing
about the constitution is that it
leaves future legislative bodies free
to enact such laws as the public
welfare may require, without be-
ing confronted or handicapped by
that old unconstitutional" scare
crow that gags the lawmaking OF
Oklahoma and many of the Older
states. We believe the constitu-
ton makers have done well, and
that they have drafted a docku-
ment that the people of New Mex.
leo, congress and the president
will stand for.

FOLLOWING FOR PUBLICATION.

A letter received from Dele
gate VIM. H. Andrews, says that
there is still an effort on foot to
shorten the time of final proof,
because of the drouth. The con-
stitutional convention has put
up a petition the contents Of
which follows:
"To the Congress of the
United States Your memorial
list, the constitutional convention
of the Territory of New Mexico,
now in session at Santa Fe, sub
mits for your consideration on
behalf of the people of said
Territory, that:
Whereas, thousands of peo-
pie have settled upon the public
domain in the Territory of New
Mexico, and have filed as the
result of said settlement home
stead entries, and have improv-
ed and resided thereon; and
Whereas, for three years last
past the seasons have been and
continued to be extremely dry,
preventing by reason thereof the
development of said lands and
the growth of the crops thereon
and the Improvement of said
homestead entries; and
Whereas, extreme hardships
nave resulted to many of the
settlers located as above.
Therefore, in view of the
above facts, we urge and men,
oralize the Congress of the
United States to enact a law for
the relief of said homestead en-
tries in the Territory of New
Mexico, providing by said law,
that, any of said entrymen who
have in good faith for at least
the period of fourteen months

upon, and in good faith improv-
ed said homestead entries, to be
permitted by Act of Congress
to make final proof without cost
except land office fees as now
provided by law, upon said
homestead entries.
Therefore be it resolved, that

any baker from turning out bread contain
ing more than 81 per cent moisture and
also regulate the sanitary handling OF

DR.. Wiley said there was s. per cent
Of moisture and 10 per cent of flour in the
