EDITORIALS TO Be SIGNED
Bill is Passed by the New York
Upper House

Senator Grady's bill requiring
that every newspaper editorial
shall be signed was passed by
the upper house of the New York
Legislature by q vote of 27 to 2.
While protesting aversion to the
newspaper profession, Senator
Bracket opposed Senator Gra-
dy's bill, declaring that it did
not propose the proper remedy.
He deplored the editorial abuses
which inspired the measure.

Brackett, but that every twen-
ty-four hours we should summon
these irresponsible scribblers and
cat-o'-nine-tail them and at the

very much if this bill reaches
the root of the evil"

STATEHOOD QUARANTINE
To Keep New Mexicans Away
From Washington

When the next bill providing
for the admission of New Mexico
as a state passes congress the
New Mexico legislature will be
requested to pass a quarantine
law. 1t will provide for guards
at Ration, Texico, FL Paso, and
every other place where a rail-
road crosses the territorial line
to board every train, and if they
find a New Mexican headed to-
ward Washington, will arrest
him, and not let him leave the
territory. Captain Fred Fornof,
who never talks, will be station
ed at Washington, and il a New
Mexican shows up at the capital,
will arrest him, gag him, and re-
turn him to New Mexico. If this
quarantine law had been in force
during the past few months the
chances are New Mexico would
now be q state. Unless some
thing like this is done the terri
tory will never get in. However,
IL q careful quarantine is main
tanned at all outlets, and Captain
Fornof kept on watch to capture
the few who may slip over the
line on q flying machine, there
will be q how.-Lordsburg Lib

POTOMACS REGATTA
is A Big SUCCESS

Before one of the largest midsummer
crowds that ever attended a regatta in
this city, the members of the Potomac
Boat Club held their races yesterday
afternoon.
between the senior and junior eight
cared shells, in which the seniors won
in sensational finish by two feet, the
time being 2:s3. The course was a half
mile.
In the single sculls, Edward Mueller
won the club championship from Wal
ter Thrall by close margin of three
quarters of a length. The time was
1902 over a mile course.
Another good race was when Dekes
Randolph, one of the most popular boys
at the club. won the novice champion
ship in single sculls from John MeKin-
ney. The time was 1851 over a half
mile course. The two men.yere about
evenly matched. and the race was fast
and interesting from start to finish.
There was not a dull moment during
the entire afternoon, and Capt. Frank
Smith, who was In charge. deserves
much credit for the faultiess way in
which he carried OF the various events.
