Las Vegas Recommended.
Gen. Potts, U. S. A., commandant of
the central division, and Lieutent H.
l.. Laubach, U. S. A., in charge of the
militia of the central division, both of
whom have headquarters in Chicago
will visit New Mexico March Is, to
select a city for the location of a con-
centration camp. Adjutant General
A. S. BrOokes has recommended Las
Vegas as being we'll situated and hav-
ing the proper facilities for such a
camp. A concentration camp is only
used as rendezvous for the organi-
zation of troops during war. The
matter of selecting a suitable location
for the joint summer maneuvers will
probably be left until the regular army
officers have looked over the ground.

Regents VIII Resign.
The board of regents of the Univer-
sity of New Mexico will meet in spe-
cial session at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning at Albuquerque for the pur-
pose of resigning. The regents will
consider much routine business as
may properly come before them, and
will then draft a general letter OF
resignation to Governor Mcdonald.
The resignation of the board will give
the governor free hand in appoint
ing the new members and will also
give the new board ample time in
which to prepare for the next school
term. The most important matter to
be considered by the new board is that
Of appointing a successor TO President
r. MCQUEEN Gray, whose resignation
has already been accepted. A num-
ber of applications for the presidency
have been made but none has been
acted upon in any way by the present
board.
Must Obey Vaccination Law.
In answer to an inquiry from A. E.
Laudenslager, of Albuquerque, At
torney General Frank W. Clancy gave
the following opinion on the law OF
1903 requiring vaccination:
without regard to my personal
opinion as to legislation of this sort,
| believe the great weight of authority
upholds it's validity, and / feel con-
strained to say that | believe the
courts would hold that our statute of
1903 is no more than proper exer-
else of legislative power. 1t may be
that such statutes are not really wise
or proper but they are in accordance
with the generally accepted medical
theories of the present time, are in
tended for the public benefit and en-
acted in the light of such knowledge
and wisdom as we now possess, and
the burden imposed is one to which
citizens are compelled to submit as
long as they remain members of So
ciety and live with their fellow beings.
