The entire country has been having
a spell OF cold weather TO celebrate
the departure Of the old and the ar.
rival OF the new year. It was about
as cold in Lordsburg az II has been IN
many years. Monday night the mini
mum thermometer IN charge OF Vol
untary Observer Mcclure, registered
Q degrees above zero, and the LIBERAL
has acquired the information that Q
degrees above zero IS mighty cold
weather. The LIBERAL ONCE has the
reputation OF being. one OF the best
warmed places in town, and during
these cold days It requires steady
work TO keep the place fairly comfort
able. Thr weather was a little be-
yond the capacity Of the oilce stove.
The one man who seemed to enjoy
the weather was w. f. Ritter. He
walked around town done up in an
overcoat and urged the people TO keep
their fires going 50 as not to suffer
from the cold, and assured them he
had plenty Of coal, and that he was
delighted to see II burned.

MANY OF the people in New Mexico
who are opposing the proposed con-
stitution are giving as their reason for
this opposition that the document
does not contain a provision for In
itlatiye legislation and the recall. Let
us reason together about this II a
majority Of the people Of the territory
do not want these provisions In the
constitution their strongest advocates
have no excuse for putting them there.
II the majority Of the voters want
them as part OF nj government this Is
a good argument for their adoption
Admitting, for the sake Of argument,
that a majority Of the voters want
These provisions In the constitution.
what Is the most practical way Of get
ting them there2 The people who
made the Arizona constitution say
that Il Is to put them In the constitu-
ton, and come in IS a state with these
provisions In the constitution, and
thus settle the matter. Congress has
got a chance to reject the constitution,
and President Taft has got to approve
II before the territory becomes state.
Prominent Arizonans, members Of
both parties. have been to Washing
ton and come home and tell the peo-
pie that the proposed Arizona con-
stitutlon will never pass congress
and the president. II the people
adopt IL 1t will be rejected in Wash
ington, and 1t will be many years be-
fore Arizona has another chance TO be-
come a state. They advise the Arizon-
ans to reject the constitution, send
the convention back and have it pre-
pare a constitution with no "debatable
provisions" when the territory will
be admitted, and after IL is astate the
citizens can change the constitution
to suit their own notions, and con-
gress will have nothing to say about
it, and President Taftcannot rejecti 1t.
The New Mexico document is salts
factory al Washington, and the senti-
ment in congress is such that it will
not be rejected, while President Taft
/, has practically promised to approve 1t.
II this is voted down by the people
!, and a new n prepared containing
these provisions It will be rejected at
+, Washington. II these people really
want these things 10 nj constitution
: let them adopt the proposed docu
ment and we will become a state
' Then II q majority Of the people o
: the state want these things in theiI
constitution they can elect a legisla
ture that will submit the ~necessar!
s amendments to the people, and hav'
9 them adopted. Ifthey are then voted

THE secretary Of the territory has
finished up the job Of sending each
voter in the territory, at least each
one that was registered for the last
election, a printed copy Of the consti-
tuition. Lordsburg was low down on
the list, and the last Of the supply for
this town did not reached here till
Sunday. There may have been some
names missed, and there are some new
voters, whose names were not on the
last registration list. The LIBERAL
has secured a few extra copies Of the
document, and II any voter has not
got a copy 1t will supply them as long
as IL has any. Secretary Jaffa sent
out $1,000 copies of the constitution,
which cost, in postage alone, S1,660,
besides a large amount of work in adj
dressing the envelopes, and putting
the pamphlet in them. For a day OF
so the Santa Fe ~postofice was nearly
swamped with the extra work of hand,

The Roswell Register Tribune was
twenty-three years old last week, the
last five Of which years 1t has been an
der the present management. The
Register Tribune is the best semi
weekly paper in the territory, and
there are many people who do not
limit this description 10 this class, but
claim the paper is the best in the ter
TitOry. II has been made famous by
the tenderfoot articles that have APP
peared in its columns, written by VIII
Robinson. Their writer has a rich
humor, a wide knowledge Of the world
and IN infinite pathos which makes
these articles appeal to all classes Of
people. The paper admits that it
has helped decrease the democratic
majority in the Pecos valley, and this
is a good enough record for any paper
TO make, The paper is prosperous, it's
owners are happy and its editors are
satisfied, while its patrons continue to
swear by II, what more could be re-
quired?

THE Albuquerque Journal printed a
statement showing its cash receipts
for each Of the past eight years. for
subscriptions. IN 1903 It received
from this source the sum OF s5,535.98
Each year since there has been an in
crease, some years larger some years
smaller, but always an increase, and
during 1910 IL received s1s, 2cS.7O from
subscriptions. showing a large increase
in It's circulation. Privately, Mr.. Mac
Pherson admits that the increase in
circulation is entirely justified by the
increased value II gives for the money.
The Journal is the only paper In the
territory that is printed every day in
the year, and II is mighty good paper.

For years " has been a common
thing for the muckrackers Of New
MEXICO to tell about purchased voters
In the territory, and there has been
30 much talk Of II that many people
have come to believe that it is a
common thing Il buy votes in the
territory, although no person has
aver been convicted Of purchasing or
selling. These charges have been
held IS a reproach TO the territory,
especially in the east, where the good
people believe the m~uckrakers, and
declared that the territory was a ot-
son borough. Facts have recently
come to the attention Of the court in
Adams county, Ohio, which indicate
that there has been more buying and
selling OF votes In that county than
the widest muckraker ever dared
charge against New Mexico. A grand
jury recently returned some indict-
ments against citizens OF that county
for selling their votes, and the voter
generally came forward, admitted
the charge, plead guilty, and drew
himself on the mercy OF the court.

Tuesday afternoon Walter Ellis,
a miner employed at the Mason
Valley mine, was seriously injured
by a blast in the mine. Ellis had
Just charged IA holes and was
splitting them. He had spit five
when the third hole went off, prob
ably on account of a running fuse.
Ellis was thrown into a hole and
when the balance of the shots went
off they only threw rocks and
dirt on him.
He was found almost immedi-
ately and taken to the hospital
at Mason, and a physician sum-
mOned. 1t was found that he had
bad wound in the leg near the
groin, his abdomen and chest were
severely cut, and his face badly
peppered with rock. He has lost
one eye, and it is possible that
the other one will have to be re-
moved. 1t is wonder that he
survived the fearful ordeal-Yer-

S. P. WILL Fight
TICKET SCALPERS
COMMERCE COMMISSION ASKED
TO STOP SCALPING ON THE
5. II. RAILROAD.

Marking the opening of deter
mined fight to drive from the field
ticket scalpers along its system, the
Southern Pacific railroad yester-
day complained in the United
States circuit court for this district
against Henry Clark, j. Il. Funk
Milton Fox, Albert Powers, w. H.
Branch and Ralph Short, charging
them with violation of the inter-
state commerce law, and asking
writs of subpoena citing them into
court, says the Salt Lake Herald
Republican.
In a lengthy complaint, the rail.
road company explains its habit of
selling reduced round trip rates,
to and from the coast for various
special occasions, such as colonists'
and tourists excursions. 1t is
charged that the defendants, along
with scores of other scalpers, have
made a business of buying up the
unused portions of these tickets and
selling them again with profit to
themselves and loss to the rail-
road.
1t is said that this business has
become particularly active since Salt
Lake and Utah have become known
to the world as fields for regain
ing health and INDUCING in pleas
ure, thereby causing many thou
sands of tourists to come here on
reduced rates every year, and af.
fording the scalpers a large mum.
! Der of unused tickets to handle il.
! legally.
The company quotes the inter
state commerce law Of February
4, 1897, to the effect that SCALP
ing shall be considered illegal, anC
ends with prayer that the court
bring the defendants into court anC
deal with them as it sees fit.
officials of the Hartman system
in Salt Lake declared yesterda,
that the court action was but tn,
first of a series of steps to b,
taken throughout the country t.
put an end to the selling of tickets
other than through the regular
channels.

The Electric Light company are

on Willow Avenue and Tryon street.
The oil lamps will be abandoned or
used on streets where electric lamps
do not reach. Those streets are out
side the borough limits and the ex-
pense of lighting is maintained by
public subscription. Well-lighted
streets on public thoroughfares are
most necessary and it is hoped that
this convenience will elicit generous
donations from all residents on said
streets,
