In commenting on our article
Of recent date, in which we ad-
vocated strict enforcement of
the law, and a possible hanging
or two, La Voz del Pueblo says:
A newspaper published in Es-
tancia, eXasperated on account
of the various horrible murders
which have been committed in the
valley, during the present year,
suggests as a remedy to do away
with the frequent repitilion of
such horrible crimes to suspend
the due course of the law, and
eXpiditiously despatch such Grim
inals by hanging to the nearest
pole to the Jail in which the Grim
inals are held. We are not in
unison with our colleague. Two
wrongs never make a right - La
Voz evidently read something
which was not in our paper We
are not in favor of lynchings.
But we are in favor of enforcing
the law. The history of Torrance
county shows that too often Grim
inals have escaped just punish
ment, by too frequent continuan-
ces, Of the cases, resulting either
in the death Of material witness
ses, or their removal from the
jurisdiction of the court. The
fact that too frequently the par
don power has been worked over
time in the territorv has detract-
ed greatly from the fear Of the
punishment, and political pull
has been given re-eminence over
law enforcement. These are the
things which we deprecate
When a criminal confesses to
murder in cold blood, as the Gray
case at Lucia or the Peralta case
at Tajique, the rope should be
ready and not the open door of
the penitentiary, with a pardon
in sight, We ask La Voz to read
again our article and see whether
we mentioned anything in favor
of Judge Lynch.

Washington, D, c., June 81
Talking over the long distance

plain that he wanted the Reel
procity Bill unchanged, and
that he would not stand for any

LET THEM VOTE

Those peop.e who objected to the
provision for the easier amend
ment of the constitution on the
ground that it would delay state
hood, having found that it is
generally understood that this
provision would not delay state
hood moment, now object on
the ground that it is an outrage
to ask the people of New Mexico
to vote again on the manner of
the amendment of the constitu-
ton. There is only one point in
the whole matter. Congress pro-
vided, in the Flood resolution,
that the voters of the territory
may vote on this question. If
majority favor the easier amend
ment of the constitution, the pro-
vision in the Flood resolution will
become part of the constitution
but if, on the other hand, a ma
Jorlty do not favor the easier a.
mendment of the constitution
there will be no change. 1t is
merely a question as to whether
a majority of the voters favor
the change Let the people have
a chance to vote on the proposi-
ton and may the majority rule!

G0MM|TTE WOULD
Do AWAY WITH
BLUE BALLOT
Flood Resolution Adopted by Senate Com
mittee with Recommendation that One
Ballot only be Used in the Election

Washington, D. c., June "a. -
The senate committee on terrific
ries today reported the Flood re
solution by a vote of 6 to 3, re-
commencing that the Blue Bal
lot' be eliminated, and that the
names of the candidates for Of
fees and the vote on the constl-
tuition amendment clause be on
one and the same ballot. This
was practically expected as the
majority of the committee being
republicans favored the scheme
of Fall and Spiess, while the
minority stood by the proposition
of the democratic workers from
New Mexico.
Senator Knute Nelson in the
executive session made an effort
to amend the resolution by strik-
ing out the section referring to
the constitution Of Arizona, thus
dropping Arizona entirely, Upon
the vote this motion was lost,
even Senator Nelson himself vot
ing against the proposition.
The Flood resolution is now be
fore the senate. If the report of
the committee is adopted, by the
senate, the house and the senate
will then meet in joint session to
compromise their differences.
In this event, both New Mexico
and Arizona are assured of state
hood. The only question then
before the people Of the terri
tories will be the voters of New
Mexico shall vote whether or not
they desire The constitution
more easily amended or not, and
those Of Arizona shall vote again
on whether or not they desire
the recall as applied to the
judiciary as a part of their con
stitution.
Chairman William A. Smith
of the senate committee expires
sed his opinion today that the
Flood resolution was sure of pas

STATEHOOD
IN NEAR
FUTURE

Former Chairman W. B. Wal
ton of the democratic centra
committee, who was among those
who attended the meeting of the
executive committee yesterday
left for his home in Silver City
last night Discussing the work
of the committee, Mr.. Walton
pointed out that it was not called
for the purpose Of discussing
candidates or fixing fences for
any individual, but was solely for
the purpose Of discussing the
general policy of the party and
making arrangements for a meet
ing of the full territorial central
committee some time in the near
future.
Mr.. Walton shares the belief
of the other members Of the eX-
ecutive committee that statehood
is now matter OF only a short
time and that it behooves
the democratic party to get busy
in the different counties to the
end that the proclamation of the
president many find it in shape
to make a winning fight for the
control Of the new state, or at
least a good representation in it's
government.

the HilIsboro Free Press, who

WOMAN MAY WEAR
VEIL IN COURT
Unique And Interesting Question
Brought Up-Lawyers Wanted Jury
To Study Woman's Expression.

Jackson, Miss, April 17.-Whether a
woman witness in a murder trial, tes-
tifying on behalf of her defendant hus-
band, can be forced to remove her veil
and allow the jury to see her features
while testifying, was the unique and
interesting question brought up in the
circuit court at Vicksburg, last week.
The question developed during the
trial of Chas. Jones, the wealthy Bolt
var county planter, who shot and killed
Jesse Pace, his wife's affinity, and,
after four trials for his life, was finally
acquitted, some of the jurors eXonerat-
ing him on "the unwritten law and
others believing he was insane from
the excessive use of drugs.
Shortly after the endearing love let
ters written by Pace to Mrs. Jones had
been produced in court, the woman
was placed on the stand to testify in
her husbands behalf. She wore very
heavy black veil and also dark eye
glasses, completely hiding her fea-
lures. Counsel for the state insisted
that Mrs. Jones be required to take off
the disguise in order that the jurors
could study her expression while an
swering questions. A lively wrangle
followed, and Judge Mounger finally
decided that he woman could not be
compelled to remove her veil.
According to veteran practitioners,
this is the first time that the question
court in this state, and in some quarters
court in tbs state, and in some quarters
it is contended that Judge Moungers
ruling was correct; that if Mrs. Jones
had been a witness for the state she
could have been compelled to remove
the veil on the constitutional ground
that a defendant has the right to be
confronted by the witnesses who testi-
fly against him, and that, when wit
ness is effectually disguised, it could
not be construed as a strict compli-
ance with the constitution.
