BIaney.

The people of Blaney, and
visitors from New Home, Estan-
cia and Silverton, enjoyed a re-
ligious treat on Sunday. Rev A.
W. Lyttle preached an able SER
mon at II. o'clock to a good aud
ience. At the close of the sermon
tables were spread which were
ladened with things good to
eat' which had been brought by
those in attendance, who came to
spend the day together, and full
justice was done to an elegant
repast. Every one present was
furnished with all they desired,
and there was enough left to
have fed many more.
Dinner being over the tables
were removed and Brother Lyttle
preached another very able SER
mon to the largest and most ap-
preciative audience that has ever
attended preaching at this place,
many having come in after din
ner. We feel that such services
as these will do great good for
the cause of religion and many
souls that have never given a
thought to salvation may, in this
way, be lead to Christ, Brother
Lyttle, come againl
On Monday evening Mrs. B.
Robbins gave a party in honor of
her Grand daughter, Miss Nellie
Watson, who has ben visiting
her for some days. 1t was largely
attended by the young people of
the neighborhood and quite a.
number from Estancia.
The snow on Tuesday made our
people glad. 1t fell to the depth
of about five inches, and as it
was a very damp snow, it will
moisten the ground to a good
depth and fit it for Spring plant
ing.
The family of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dwight has been increased by
the arrival of a fine boy-about
eight years old. 1t came from the
Orphans Home at Albuquerque.
May all concerned be benftted

ing very nicely, and is well at

ARE YOU FOR 4
SQUIRE DEAL?

Section 81 Of Article w of tn
Constitution provides: No ap
preparation shall be made fof
charitable, educational or othey
benevolent purposes to any per-
son, corporation, association,
institution, or community, not
under the absolute control of tn
state, but the legislature may, in
its discretion, make appropria-
tions for the charitable institu
ticns and hospitals, for the main
tenance of which annual appro-
priations were made by the
Legislative Assembly Of
nineteen hundred and nine. f"
What does this mean? What
charitable institutions and hos
pitals" received appropriations
from the Legislative Assembly
of 1909? Here is the list:
st Vincent's Hospital, Santa Fe,
.................$3,6 SO, 10000
Grant County Hospital, Silver City,
.,............ 49, L, ,oVo'Oo
Sisters of Mercy Hospital. Silver City
.................. 1,80Q.0 90
Ladies' Hospital, Demlng, 100000
Eddy County Hospital, Carlsbad
..........,.. ....... 1900 90
Relief Society, Las Vegas, 100000
Sisters Hospital, albuquerque,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 2, 400 90
Gallup Hospital, Gallup, 1900 90
St Mary's Hospital, Roswell, 10000
Sisters of Loretto, Mora, s.. 10000
Sisters of Loretto, Las Cruces 1, 10000
OF all these institutions which
received aid from the legislature
of 1909, the majority are Catho
lie institutions. Several are purely
charitable institutions, not under
the control of any sect or creed
A few are under the direct con-
troll of the county in which they
are located. But not an institu
tion is named under the control
Of any other religious denomina
tion than the Catholic Church,
We are not opposing the aiding
Of the institutions of the Catho'
lies, but we do believe that any
and all other denomination
should have the same seat at
the pie table" that this one has,
but under the constitution no
matter how worthy, no matter
how anxious the future legisla
lures might be to assist any other
worthy institution, the constitu-
tion, if adopted will draw the
purse strings and say No. And
yet the bosses told us that all
legislation should be omitted
from the constitution and left
for future legislatures. Is this
justice? Is it right for the con.
stitution to tell future legislatures
=" You may assist these few in
stitutiops, but no others?" Take
no chances on such schemes, but
vote against the constitution.

HGHINST THE
CONSTITUTION

OUlIO | IUil lVl Y
The future of New Mexico calls
| for your immediate and earnest
action. Opinions, sentiments and
intentions do not count pratical-
ily. Nothing is effective but action.
| 1t is but a few days before the
people vote for or against the
! proposed constitution. On the re-
suit hangs the destiny of New
Mexico for years to come. The
friends Of temperance and morali-
ty, we believe to bel the MAORI
ty in New Mexico; at all events
every one will admit they hold
the balance Of power. herespon-
sibility for the result is therefor
clearly on their consciences.
The political chiefs who framed
the constitution, and who will
frame its modification if it is
rejected, care for nothing but
power.
In convention they refused to
allow the subject Of prohibition to
be submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie. That was all we asked. Fair
play demanded it, but twas re-
fused.
Let even 5000 Of the friends Of
temperance and morality vote
against the present draft Of a con
stitution, and it will be heavily
defeated and thisis but a modicum
Of our number,
Then will come the result
which congress forsaw and pro
weed for The convention has to
meet in 20 days after the election
to frame q revised constitution.
All the talk about failure to re-
convene is pure nonsense and in
tended to deceive. The conVen-
ton will meet and its simple duty
will be to improve its first report
TO conform with The will Of the
people as expressed by their vote.
Let it be perfectly understood
that the thousands who vote
against the constitution, do 50 be-
cause they insist on a fair vote for
prohibition. They want State
hood, but they want to vote on
prohibition statehood, and there
fore rejected the first constitution
in order to have that question
submitted.
Take the sensible advice Of
President Taft If you can get a
good constitution come in with it |
but if you do not get a good one,
have the courage to vote it down
and get another"
Let the vote be so emphatic
that every party leader will un-
derstand it and be glad to be gov
erned thereby This is the time
to show our strength and to gain
our object, which is state protec-
tion for our home and for our
children.
Let every friend of temperance
and morality work now till cleo
ton day to defeat this first pro
posed constitution. Let every
woman use her influence with
voters o ;ecure every vote against
it, in half Of her children.
This will not injure statehood,
but viii insure more glorious
statehood; it will create no delay
but insure the success Of a refor-
med constitution. It will be the
guaranty Of a purified and giori-
fed New Mexico.

ADVERTISING

New Mexico at last, is wide a
wake to the necessity of ex
plotting its vast natural re-
sources; to the Importance of let
ting the people know what we
have here and what opportuni
ties the NEW STATE offers fol
homes and profitable investment.
This awakening has been fully
demonstrated by the widespread
and enthusiastic support given
the New Mexico Publicity AS
sociation. This association was
organized last July by the
Bureau of immigration, for the
purpose of giving New Mexico
a systematic advertising cam
paign, which the funds of the Bur
eau would not permit. Railroads,
land companies, land sales
men, banks and practically all
development interests approved
the work and many Of them
joined the association. After
alive months newspaper adj
vertising campaign, carried on at
a total expense of only a little
more than 81 ,000., the associa
ton is able 70 show returns of
more than 5000 inquiries from
persons actually interested in
New Mexico as a place for in
vestment, and home making.
This is an average of Is inquir-
les per day for six months. from
people who otherwise would not
have been attracted to New Mex
leo. Many of them have already
come here, others have bought
land and others will do one or
both in the near future. With
such a result from the small in
yestment made during the
experimental period. the Associa-
ton has entered or its 1911 cam
paign on a much more elabor-
ate scale. The dues, heretofore
S4. per month, have been reduce
to So, per month thus enabling
every one who cares to aid in
the work, to join without any
hardship. 1t is now predicted
that the association will have
500 members within thirty days.
With this income, and with only
a nominal expense to the indivi-
dual member, the association
will be able to carry its adver-
tising into every important ad-
vertising medium in the country.
Along with this the entire time
of one man will be occupied in
writing news and feature stories
covering every districtin the
territory. These will be mailed
free tonewpapers and magazines
all over the country. The result
will be the most far-reaching
advertising campaign ever at
tempted in the south east. 1t
will not only exploit New Mexico
as a whole but attract direct
attention to each of its districts.
A weekly bulletin is furnished
to each member thusplacing him
in direct touch with every in
quiry attracted by the Associa-
ton S advertising. Those inquiries
are of especial value to real es-
tate interests since they offer a
fresh and very high class list of
prospective buyers, whose inter
est has been expressed and
whose preferences are known.
The work, during 1911, as here
tofore, will be carried on from
the Office of the Secretary of the
Bureau of immigration at Albu-
querque.
