For GOOD
Government

At Santa Fe this week long
strides toward good govern
ment were taken and history
was made.
The Progressive Republican
League, a state wide organiza-
tion of earnest and thinking
men, held it's first state con-
vention there. Recognizing
the right Of the Dem ocratic
party to maintain its integrity
at this auspicious time in its
history IN this state the Pro
gressives made no dema nds
upon the Democratic Convex
tion to fuse with them, but,
sincere 10 their purpose to OBJ
tain good government at any
cost, the Progressives practi-
cally united with the Demo
Gratis by endorsing their entire
state ticket and their platform
of principles.
AS matter of fact, the two
platforms were in entire agree
ment upon the vital principles
of government and, with the
clean ticket put up by the
Democrats at Santa Fe con
trasted with the machine made
ticket of men with unsavory
records in the main which was
made by the standpat Repub-
licans at Las Vegas, there is
nu question in the mind of any
thinking person that the Dem
ocratic ticket should be sup
ported and will be elected,
which will assure lgood, clean
and honest government for our
new state.

a Years
OF tn6 GdnQ

Statehood having been at
tanned, another struggle now con
fronts the people of New Mexi-
co, The history of the past four
teen years is one Of misgovern-
ment by the so-called republi-
cans. Entrenched in power, en-
riched by long Office holding they
are now in a position where only
the most determined persistency
on the part of the people who
are interested in honest govern
ment can dislodge them. The
opportunity for such action has
arrived. The ring Of. machine
politicians who have controlled
the affairs Of the territory has
lost its pull at Washington; they
have. uy their brazen Wrong-do-
ing disgusteu the honest mem
bers OF their own party; they
have by their greedy struggle at
the pie counter strained the
bond that holds the
insiders" together, On No
7th the ballots of demo
Gratis and honest republicans will
or can place the affairs of the
state in the hands of men too
honest to plunder for themselves
and too strong to become the
-ools of the interests Silver

Th6 Little
B|u6 Ballot

LIDS vegas, duQIcoSCU CIlC L ~
gressive Republicans at theil
meeting in Santa F'e on Thursday
night, his talk being principally
along the line of the Blue Bal
lot. . His speech was a good one
throughout, but too long for pub
lication here, We quote a few
paragraphs as follows:
The constitution of each state
is adopted how? BY a majority
vote Of the people voting there
on.
If the people are competent to
adopt a constitution by majority
vote, why are they not compe-
tent to adopt amendments there
of by a like, vote2
Uuder the constitution as at
present provided---no change can
be made except by two thirds
vote of the members of each
house of the legislature-- ratified
by a vote Of the people st a gen
eral election and, to carry, the
proposed amendment must re-
ceive majority of the votes cast
on the question and the affirm
ative vote must eQuaI forty per
cent Of the highest vote cast al
that election -further-- this vote
must be obtained in at least one
half of the counties.
These provisions are not only
unusual but the latter is unique,
It is not to be found in any other
constitution.
The effect of these require
ments is to make the constitution
we'll nigh unamendable.
Why should an affirmative vote
of forty or any other percentage
of the vote cast on another mat
ter be required? Surely if voter
is not intelligent enough or not
interested enough to vote on a
question his attitude should not
be considered-yet this require
ment does give that effect and
weight to this attitude-makes
it in effect a vote against the
amendment.
AS to the provision requiring
the carrying of at least half Of
the counties.
This is essentially wrong, not
only because it will tend to carry
county against county, but, it
further tends to make the amend
ing of the constitution practically
impossible. It may easily hap
pen that in many counties the in
terest in a question will be but
slight and that because of this
condition an amendment which
may carry by a large majority of
the state wide vote will fail of
adoption instance on a com
parison with the vote for dele
gate in 1898. the constitution
which we have adopted, under
the forty per cent in one-half of
the counties requirement, would
have tailed of adoption with but
a Slight change in vote 1t car
ried by 81, 742 votes out Of total
of 45, 141, fully seventy per cent
of the vote cast, and fifty-seven
per cent of the highest vote ever
cast in New Mexico-yet a change
of $50 votes would have prevent
ed its adoption.

FIREMEN BRAVE DEATH;

TUCSON. Ariz.. Aug. 25.-In recog- milton of the almost reckless daring of the fire department In turning a stream of water up among the high voltage power wires at the corner Of Sixth avenue and Broadway Monday night in order to extinguish the blaZ- ing metal box which had been struck by lightning. A Sine, Western Union manager. today gave the department the necessary cash to procure a feed and a cold bottle all around.
 Those wires carried over 2200 volts of electricity, and the stream of water which the firemen played on the blaze would have made a splendid conductor for electricity. It is a wonder that no one was killed" he said.
