". Hicks of Santa Rosa, wellknown
cattleman. The appointment is con-
sidered good one.
Governor Mcdonald has commits
stoned J. B. McManus to be superin-
tendent of the state penitentiary, to
succeed Warden Cleofes Romero on
February Is. Mr.. McManus arrived
late yesterday afternoon and is dis
cussing the management Of the lnsti-
tuition with the Executive.
Governor Mcdonald today accept
ed an invitation to attend a banquet
tc be given in his honor by the Dom
este Science department of the Nor
NAL University at Las Vegas on Sat
urday evening, March 2. The Gov
ernor says that he really enjoys vi
sitting the educational institutions
and to mingle with the students. He
will likely accept an invitation TO
visit the New Mexico Military lnsti-
tute at Roswell in the near future and
a few days ago visited the University
a. Albuquerque. He has not accept
ed the resignation of Attorney Gen
eral Clancy from the board of re-
gents of that institution and has re-
ceived no other resignation. How
evers Governor Mcdonald favors
Capitalization of the government of
New Mexico's educational institutions
so that they will not overlap, but
will cooperate and coordinate. At
the same time, he thinks that the
membership of the governing bodies
should not be merely local but truly
representative of the entire state.
He is also inclined to the belief that
each institution should concentrate
its efforts in its particular sphere
and that the preparatory schools
should be eliminated as much as pos
sible. He believes in very liberal
support of the public schools, espe-
cially in the rural and smaller towns
so that the boys and girls in the
country may have equal educational
advantages with those in the wealth
ier cities.
Governor Mcdonald will during
the month visit his home at Carri-
zozo. He is rapidly disposing of his
routine business and will soon find
more time at his disposal to pass up
on a number of matters of importance
still pending, such as the appointment
o. an adjutant general and a. closer
personal supervision of such instltu-
tons as the penitentiary. He will 90
ali in his power too, to secure vi
eorous administration of the criminal
laws, urging peace officers and dis
trict attorneys to exercise the greatest
Zest in hunting down criminals, un-
raveling crime and doing all in their
power to secure its punishment. He
reasons quite correctly that every
murder, for instance, besides being
d crime against the victim is also
a crime against the entire cOmmu-
nifty and commonwealth, as the per-
sonal safety of every one, depends
upon the vigor with which crime is
punished.
