And Plays Winning Game Defy
ing Orders forbidding
Loafing

Cupid, he of the uuivver and

When Miss Booth left for AL

Some Pie Eaters

A pie eating contest was pull.
ed off last Sunday evening, which
had it been advertised would
have drawn quite a number of
spectators. Breezy met Slim at
the Estancia Bakery and banter
ed him on a pie eating contest,
the loser to pay for the pies.Slim
would not be worsted as easily
as that and the fun started. At
ter each had eaten two and a
quarter (twenty- cent? pies, Bak-
er Tuttle thought to help the
good thing along, so offered to
give each a piece of pie, if they
would eat it. Not caring to turn
down an offer of free pie, both
C leaned this up, making in all
five pies consumed by the two.
Breezy paid the bill.

had passed in the interim would
be null and void. That we think
is a very injurious, foolish and
senseless provision. If the pro-
vision read that all lands which
are now valuable for the develop
ment of water power shall not be
included in the grant of lands
made in the enabling act there
then would be some show of rea-
son in it. The other way it is un-
just, unfair and unreasonable.
These are some of the princi-
pal criticisms that we have to
bring against the enabling act in
it's present form. 1t is notable
principally for the spiritin which
it was evidently drawn; about the
same spirit in which a lawyer
would draw a contract by which
he wished to bind a crook or an
imbecile. It is to be hoped that
the bill will undergo a complete
metamorphosis before it is enact
ed into law.
"The Republican central COM
mittee should consider this bill
carefully and do what can be
done to have some radical chang
es made in it. We feel that the
act as it now stands constitutes
a most serious reflection upon the
people of New Mexico; and we
think that the source of that un-
deserved reflection will most like
ly be found to be the narrow
mind that is concealed beneath
the waving locks of the senator
from Indiana

Psttsrns and Motives

Patterns and Motives was The
subject of a strong discourseade-
livered by Rev. B. F. Summers,
Of the local M. E. church, recent
Iy, IN which he struck effective
blows at Satan's strongholds.
Taking for his text Ephesians
4:1-16, he showed that there must
be . motive to work and pat
tern after which to model; that
the Apostle insists on unity and
purity; that the true Christian is
the faithful friend of all CHRIS
tians and the sworn enemy tdBin.
'Lowliness, meekness, l4g-
suffering and forbearing onesan-
other in love-" said the speaker,
ARE means of unity In#ex-
planning these terms it was shown
that lowliness isopposed to pride;
meekness is that disposition max
ing men unwilling to provoke
others aud to be provoked by
others, long-sutfering implies pa
tiently bearing injuries without
seeking to be revenged; forbear-
ing one another in love signifies
bearing infirmities out of a pfin-
ciple flove. 4
In unity of the Church Isl the
strength of the Church. Zach
member may be weak, but many
slender twigs bound together
become strong, not necessarily of
the same size and length. .Sbut
united. iasifBsi
Christ is the standard or meas
ure. everyone should pattern and
model after Him. The perfect
Ing Of the saints, unity of faith
and knowledge cf the Son Of God
will build up and strengthen the
individual members and the
Church.

According to the Las Vegas
Optic, the statehood bill is far
from as perfect a document as
the people of New Mexico would
desire. Unless some grave chang
es are made before the passage
of the Enabling Act, there will
be a number of our people who
will vote against the measure,
possibly sufficient to turn it down.
The Optic says:
Reports that have reached our
ears from Washington from time
to time indicate that the bill that
was recently introduced in the
senate is the measure that is IA
vored by the administration as
well as by Beveridge, Albrich, ct
al, This is a pretty tough dose
to swallow. 1t is almost incon
ceivable that a body of men Of
the intelligence and reputed open
mindedness of the lawmakers at
Washington could countenance
for a moment the bill that was
introduced by Mr., Dillingham; as
proxy for Mr.. Beveridge. A cur
sorry glance at the measure will
any fair minded person
that the individual who was re-
sponsible for its creation was
suffering from a chronic attack
Of mental indigestion superin-
duced by the atrocious belief that
all men in New Mezico are posi
lively dishonest, and that they
will remain so.
One OF the greatest pieces OF
sarcasm that has ever emanated
from the classic walls of our ma
tional legislature is to be found
in the summary Of the purpose Of
the bill. 1t reads: "A bill to
enable the people Of New Mexico
10 form a constitution and state
government and be admitted into |
The Union on an equal footing |
With the original states. If even |
he linotype man who set that up |
knew the contents Of the bill he
must have been compelled to go I
outside to breathe a little fresh |
lir before proceeding. The body |
# the measure begins in smooth
md polite phrase, runs through
provisions about perfect tolera-
ion of religious sentiment, pro-
ibition of polygamous marri-
lges, and the like without a
hitch. 1t reads beautifully. But
N the fifth page it requires that
10 legislature of the proposed
tate of New Mexico shall ever
,ass any law in any manner vail
lating or legalizing any terrific
ial. county or municipal indebt-
less that is now or may be in
aid or illegal. Now we have
10 axe to grind in this matter
nd so are trying to speak with
ut bias. But it is hard to do so,
or in that very clause congress
) prohibiting the future state of
Jew Mexico from doing in a just
way, if necessary, what congress
las already done in an unjust
way for Pima county, Arizona
here congress validated an in
-alid bond issue for which the
ounty never received a single
ent's worth of value.
There is also a provision that
he capital shall never be moved
rom Santa Fe except by vote of
he people. We are not saying
hat we are in favor of the re-
noval of the capital from the
Ancient City, but we do say that
his is an entirely novel provision
n the history of enabling acts.

oower to change the location Of
