Public Forum

To the Editor of the Morning Journal:
Such complaint as has recently
been made about the article of the
constitution relating to the militia
Y would have been made except
for ignorance of the customary consti-
tutional provisions on that subject in
other states.
Fault has been found because this
article provides that all able-bodied
men between the ages of is and 40
years shall constitute the militia of
the state. but substantially the same
provision, with slightly varying forms
of language. is TO be found in the pres
ent constitutions Of Arkansas. Colo
rado. Florida, Idaho. Illinois. Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan,
Mississippi. Missouri, Montana. New
York. North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon.
South Carolina, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming. Some of these consti-
tutlons provide for exemption from
military service for persons having re-
ligious scruples against bearing arms,
or for exemptions as may be prescribe
ed by the legislature, but in most OF
those there is also a provision that
exempted persons must pay an equiva-
lent for their military service. Our
state Legislature can provide for like
exemptions.
The section as to the organization,
equipment and discipline being like
what is required in the United States
army is to be found in the constitu-
tons of Alabama, Colorado, Idaho.
Utah, Illinois. Missouri. Montana and
wyoming. The practical reason for
this provision is that unless the state
militia in its organization and disci-
pIine conforms TO what is required
of the United States army, the state
will not receive any assistance from
the federal government, and this is a
very substantial matter as New Mexico
received about $751; 00 from the ma
tional treasury during the last year,
practically all Of which was expend-s
ed within the territory. 1t can readi-
" be seen that II was the part of
wisdom TO put this in the constitution
and thus make it a permanent pro-
vision. In nearly all of the other states
similar provision is made by legisla-
ton so that the states receive their
proport;onate shares of the congress-
ional appropriations.
The law of New Mexico has been
substantially the same as that which
is embodied in the constitution on this
subject ever since the year 1905, and
no evil consequences have yet come
from it. Yours truly.

THE NORTH WIND

When o'er the mountain the wind

Like an ancient monarch, m rush

When in his majesty. splendor and
might
He rules DER the earth by day and by
night.
The sturdy old cottonwood bends his
head,
At a touch from the scepter his leaves
are shed;
And the flowers and weeds and the
meadow grasses
Are swept by his breath as the mon
arch passes.
And the tall. dark pine gives a stately
bow,
For the king. his friend. is coming
now.
he raises his head with a knight
AS he firmly stands in his wonted
place.
1t is only the brave old rocks and
hills

willis.
But the rocks are split by the ice and
And the hills are laid bare of all but
the moss.
And the sky. too. changes from blue
to gray,
AS the grand old king marches on his
way.
Zen the gentle zephyrs are couriers

and snow.
And the river soon will be frozen Ger.
Tho il onward eddies from shore to
shore;
But the north wind brings TO us hope
and health.
Dearer by far than King Medas

So we thank thee. dear Lord. for the
wind from the north.

The Witch Finders.

Three hundred years ago the busi-

established and accepted in courts ol
law as highly proper In 1919 it is re-
corded that the magistrates of New
castle. England. sent 10 Scotland for
an expert WITCH finder This gifted
person proceeded to show his skill by
discovering fifteen witches and secur-
ing their conviction. One Matthew
Hopkins was a celebrated witch Under
of that period. 1t was easy to discover
witches when you knew how. The sus
pected person could be forced ~ weep
and then detected by the well known
fact that witch could shed only three
tears and those from the left eye. or
she could he pricked with pins toJdis-
cover the spot insensible TO pain. which
was a sure sign Of dealings with the
devil. That women were far more
likely to dabble in witchcraft than
men was conceded. The reason was.
satisfactorily explained by famous
German text book on witches published
in the fifteenth century II was sim
ply that women were inherently wick
ed. whereas men naturally inclined TO
goodness
