Happenings That Held
 Attention ln Year 1915
Middle West Devastated by Floods Which Caused Great Loss-Jessie Wilson and
 Helen Gould Brides

John Purroy Mitchell was elected mayor.
 President Wilson took a personal in terest in the gubernatorial election in New Jersey and was pleased when the returns showed that James Fairman Fielder was elected. Fielder has been called progressive Democrat, and his election was regarded as personal tribute to the president. In the No yember elections also David 1. Walsh. Democrat, was elected governor of Massachusetts, and Henry c. Stuart. Democrat, was elected governor of Virginia.
 When President Wilson entered of fice he was confronted with the tan gleG Mexican situation, and toward the end of the year our relations with that country came near the breaking point. Matters became so threatening that troops and marines were dis patched to the border line. A great fleet of American warships assembled patrol was re-enforced by several di VISIONS or regular troops.
 Following the assassination of Fran cisco 1. Madero Feb. p and the as- sumption of the presidency by General Huerta, President Wilson fiatly de- clared that this country never would recognize the new order of things. which was characterized as a rule of blood and iron. This government fig ured that Huerta was near the end of his financial resources.
 The year had it's usual quota of dis asters and accidents. When the wire jess on Oct. 9 told that the steam ship Volturno was burning in mid ocean there came visions of another | Titanic horror. But the wireless brought quick aid to the doomed ship, and 800 of it's passengers were 1 removed in safety to other vessels that answered the calls for help. One hundred and thirtysix of her passen- gers and crew were lost. There were pathetic scenes when the ships bear l ing tie survivors docked in New York | city.
 Floods Sweep Middle West. The g"eat floods of the middle west
 which occurred in March aroused the 1 sympathy of the country for the suf- l ccrcrs. For weeks great sections of | this country were under water. Entire l cities were marOOned. Secretary of War Garrison took personal charge of | the relief movement It was impos- | Sible for days to get any authentic

1t is true that the two year
term will be more expensive on
the candidate on account ct
an additional campaign but the
expense of a campaign need
not exceed a reasonable sum
unless the candidate himself
chose to make il so.
Altogether wc bellows the
amendment should pass and
the voters should favor it at
the polls in November.

AMEND THE CONSTITUTION

At the election to be held in
November Of this year the
question Of amending section
2 of article 10 of the %constitu
ton of the State of New Mex.
leo will come before the voters.
The proposed amendment is as
follows:
Section 2. All county Off
GERS shall be elected for a term
of two years and after having
served two consecutive terms,
shall be ineligible to hold any
county office for two years
thereafter.
Under the present terms Of
the constitution county officers
are elected for a term of four
years, which is too long in case
an official proves incompetent.
The proposed amendment will
give the voters Of New Mexico
an opportunity to retire an IN.
satisfactory official at the end
of two years, and to elect one
in his place who will do the
work of the office in a manner
satisfactory to the electors.
This amendment should bc
supported by the voters of the
State Of New Mexico in the in.
tcrcsts of good government and
efficiency in all the county Off.
ces.-Headlieht.
We heartily agree with the
passage of this amendment and
urge that all voters give it sup.
port If an officer gives entire
satisfaction during his term of
two years he will doubtless
have no opposition to his nom.
ination for a second term, If
at the end Of two years his ser
vices have not been satisfac.
tory another can be chosen in
his place and the incompetcn
cy of an official will not have
to be endured for the long term
of four years. As we will al.
ways have an election every
two years to elect some state
officer the additional expense
of the election will be small.

BASE BALL

Manitowoc beat Sheboygan again
last Sunday. The game broke up in
the seventh and was awarded to Mani
towoc to when the real score was
Manitowoc ,, Sheboygan =. The regu-
lar umpire missed his train and both
managers agreed to let old wac-horse
Riah otficiate. In the seventh with
the score to Kaeger came home
from second on hit by Kruger slid
ing over the pan when the catcher was
fumbling with the ball Riah called it
"safe" putting Manitowoc in the lead
and refused to reverse himself Sever
al Sheboygan players refused to contin-
ue and Riah declared the game forfeit
ed to Manitowoc. Both McGlyn for
the locals and Schulz, Sheboygan's new
pitcher, had been performing brilliant
ly. Stoney had allowed but hits and
Schulz four. The game puts Manito-
voc ahead of Sheboygan unless Mana

President Klock sin is sustained, al
though on what possible grounds the
game can be cast out is not discernible.

z O'CLOCK CLOSING VALID.

Judge Kirwan has filed iu circuit
court an opinion sustaining the convic-
tion Of Frank Zeman, Jr., convicted at
the June term of a violation Of the
city's II o'clock saloon closing ordi-
nance, The case has attracted consi-
derable attention as it was virtually
the first local attempt ever made to
regulate saloons. The ordinance pro-
hibits saloons from being open and from
selling liquor between midnight and
. 80 A. M. hut eXcepts dance hall bars
from l2to ; A. M. Zeman was convic-
ted last fall in Municipal court by a
jury. His attorney argued that the or
dinance is invalid on the ground that
it Is discriminating and further that it
was not sufficiently published. Judge
Schmidt upheld the ordinance and Ie-
man appeal ed to circuit court. AT the
trial IN January the jury could not
agree. They are said to have been
s to for convictions.
At the retrial in June the Jury said
"guilty" and Ieman then again raised
the question OF the validity of the ordi-
nance. 1t was again argued and the
court now upholds the ordinance in all
its parts. The court carefully avoids
expressing approval of the dance hall
exemption but says that as a matter OF
law the ordinance must stand. AS a
result Of the case fight was made IN
the council against granting Ieman n
license this year but he pulled through.
The fine in Municipal court was $500
and he will be re sentenced now in
circuit court. City Attorney Harry
Kelley for the city and Judge Cratic
for Zeman have fought the mat.
ter out before three juries and argu.
ed the validity twice. There is pos.
sibility that it will be argued again as
Xeman, II Is said Is not alone in opposi.
tion to the ordinance.

The proposed ordinance removing
the city phJ sician from the Board of
Health was laid over until the suit
pending in circuit court between the
rival claimants to the Office OF health
officer shall have been decided.
One bill allowed was Sl3950 for fix
ing streets damaged by the recent cir
Gus, thus vindicating Georgenson and
Mckeough who stuck out for and OBJ
tanned Sl20 from the circus claim agent.
The damage was all in their ward and
their defense of their little ward stroei
fund was heroic. They say that they
would have gotten more II any city Of
fcials had backed them up.

BOARD CHANGES FEW.

The city Board of Equalization ad-
journed last week after sitting the le-
gal ten days.
The session was notable for the few
changes in assessments also for the
fact that for the first time In many
years no merchants appeared to protest
against their stock assessments.
The proceedings occupying the most
time were those affecting the Seating
Go. buildings and personally, Chas.
Spindler residence, l.. j. Nash resi-
dence and the Reiss Co. coal handling
equipment. This last is treated else
where In this issue. No change was
made In the Seating Co. or Spindler as
sessments Some OF Mr. Nashs va.
cant lots were cut total OF 1925 and
his electric car from $500 10 $1,000.
Several minor reductions in residences
were made after the owners appeared
and testified under oath. There may
be appeals to the courts In some or all
OF the cases mentioned above.
