and Mass MEETING
Tuesday Night, at Court House
Alamogordo
PROMINENT SPEAKERS
ON THE PROGRAM

Plans have been made for a big
rally and mass meeting to be held
at the court house in Alamogordo
at seven O'Clock Tuesday night,
January IL. The purpose of the
meeting will be To discuss the
the constitution. Ii will be a
meeting non-poli;icol and nom
partisan. 1t is expected that
speeches will be made both for
and against the constitution. The
real object is give to all the peo
pie an opportunity to learn defin-
itely, precisely and exactly what
the constitution is, in order that
they may form q just and intel
ligent opinion as to whether the
constitution should be ratified or
defeated.
With this end in view, invita-
tions have been extended to
many Of the most prominent
speakers in New Mexico, to be
present and address the meeting.
Among those who have been in
vited from without Otero county
are Governor W. j. Mills, Hon.
Il. o. Bursum, Hon. II. B. Fer
gusson. Among the Otero coun-
ty speakers will be Judge A. b.
Fall, Ex-Governor George Curry,
W. A. Hawkins, q. K. Moifett,
j. l.. Lawson, w. X. Stalcup.
Handbills announcing the
meeting have been sent to all
the towns and communities in
the county. On account of the
wide range of publicity and the
great interest which the people
feel in the constitution, it is ex-
pected that a record breaking
crowd will be in attendance.
A big rally will be held at
Tularosa on the afternoon of the
same day, with many of the
same speakers on the program.

SECOND CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION BUSY
Reassembled for the Benefit Of
the Kickers
WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED
FROM CONVENTION

than tn gratify our curiosity, we
should like to see this beautiful
second convention plan carried
out. 1t would be interesting to
say the least and the product
would take rank for all time
among the state documents as
the prize curiosity of the bunch.
First, the present constitution
i turned down at polls coldly
aud sternly by Mr.. Ferguson
and Mr.. Crist, the Albuquerque
evening paper and the Las
Cruces Progressive.
The governor then solemnly
calls back the delegates. The
hat is passed around to garner up
the necessary 800, 900 to hold the
convention and election. The
delegates leave their private
businesses aud humbly return to
Santa Fe to do the will of the
kickers.
The result is a constitution
which is wonder.
1t makes the terms Of Judges
shorter aud longer in order to
satisfy all thu opposition. The
constitution will be made easier
and harder to amend. More
nowar ara les1 power will be
given to the legislatures. That
institution created under the fed
eral constitution, known as the
militia Is abolished. In order that
ofEcehOlders may not be subject
to campaign debts, and at the
same time in order that corrupt
governors and legislatures may
not have the power to create
them, they are tO be made neith-
er appointive nor elective, but
will be allowed tn select them.
selves by tossing dice or drawing
straws. No court decision is to
be considered binding until ap-
proved by majority of the vot-
ers at the next general election.
Members of the judiciary are to
serve without pay and deposit
hundred thousand dollar bond on
taking the oath, pledging them
selves to refrain from any deci-
sions which displease anyone.
The fee system is to be re-estab.
lished in order to take up the
saving resulting from the salary
less judges.
There are numerous other pro-
visions which in our minds eye
we see incorporated into that
second constitution which is to
please all kickers. II you will
review the files Of this paper
and make list Of all the objec-
tions which we have taken up
and answered you may get a
fairly approximate idea of what
would go into the organic act.
From the view point of mere
idle curiosity it would certainly
be worth while, the only Difficult
ty in the way is the possibility
that the collection to pay the ex-
penses might fall short some

for business TO come To him. He
must go out and hustle for il
This is no less true in humanita-
rlan work than in commercial
ventures.
The American Red Cross has
always been distinguished by its
enterprise in making its efforts
to aid humanity of maximum
value. AS another evidence Of
this activity this association has
lately established a first aid TO
the injured department through
which it hopes to carry instruc-
ton in this important subject to
all parts Of the country. In
furtherance of this object it has
now in operation a First AID
Car. This car was donated by
the Pullman Company and has
been fully equipped by the Red
Cross with all sorts of first aid
material. 1t is in direct charge
OF DIR. NJ. Whitfield Glasgow. of
Birmingham, Alabama, who was
employed for this special work
by the First Aid Department of
the Red Gross. The car was out
fitted at the Pullman shops in
Buffalo and is now on the road
in Illinois. Its work evidently
appeals to the various railway
officials as the railways are haul
ing it free of charge.
The car will proceed from place
to place stopping at railway,
manufacturing and mining GEN.
ters where the best opportuni-
ties present themselves for or
ganizing first aid classes. Just as
has been done by the Red Cross
III the mining field an attempt
will be made to interest employ
ers, employees and local physi-
clans alike so that first aid to
the injured instruction will have
general support and countenance
after the car has visited = place.
Though the Red Cross car is
primarily designed for instruc.
tion purposes it will also always
be available when needed for
rescue work and care of injured
in case of disaster as it is fully
equipped for this purpose.
1t is, perhaps, not generally
realized how large a percentage
Of deaths are now due to acci.
dent. In fact, in certain indus
tries deaths from disease are alb
solutely Insignificant in mum bers
as compared with with those
from accident. For example, in
the registration area which now
includes about 90 per cent of
the population of the United
States, the 1909 census statistics
charge to accident $40 per cent
of deaths among steam railway
employees between the ages of
20 and 81. The next most haz.
ardous occupation as shown by
these statistics is that of miners
and quarrymen taken together,
in which accidents are respon.
sible for 6l.3 per cent of all
deaths at the same ages. Iron
and steel workers have 2S.l per
cent, and the rate for all manu-.
featuring and mechanical pur-
suits taken together at the same
ages is 2l.9 per cent. These are
the people which the Red Gross
is trying to reach in . practical
way by means Of its First Aid
Gar.
