1t was our privilege to be pre-
sent at the Banquet and business
meeting of the New Mexico Press
Association at Albuquerque this
week and participate in the
pleasures and deliberations of
one of the most efficient modern
organizations of devotees of the
Fourth Estate.
The Association began it's pro.
gram with q Banquet given by
the Newspaper men of ofAlbuquer-
que. After really swell feed
correctly served at a leading
hotel, at which seventy five edf-
tors and guests were present, the
President, Hon. Nestor Mont0ya
acting as Toast Master called mp
on a number of Newspaper men
and others for speeches.
Among the speakers we're
Hons. T. B. Catron, Felix Marti-
ez, Antonio Lucero, Il. E. Twitch-
ell, w, H. Mullane, of Carlsbad
L. L. Klinefelter of Obar, Sena-
tor Barth, Hon. Filadelfo Baca,
and the Editor Of the S-A.. who
was assigned the subject of "The
Libel Law and who spoke from
recent experience on thatsnbiect.
We wefe only one of many vic
tins Of that outrage present but
bore the distinction Of being the
only one under sentence to the
Pen and as such we were made
the object of much fraternal
sympathy by the newspaper
people. In fact we have never
been subjected to so much pet
ting.
At the business meeting Tues
day the Libel law was taken up
and vigorously discussed and
unanimously condemned. twas
conceded that the Newspapers of
of the state should unitedly work
for the repeal of the old Libel
law and the enactment of a new
statute to be copied after some
eastern or central state where
Newspaper men are recognized
as human beings by the laws and
where they have equal rights
with common people.
Officers were elected as follows
Pres. Hon. Nestor MOntoya

Secretary and Treasurer Hon, D
A. Nc Pherson Of the Morning
journal.
1st Vice Pres, Orrin A. Foster
of the Las Cruces Republican.
A long line Of Vice Presidents
including Representatives Of
papers in every county in the
state was added and provisions
made for succession to both
officers so that as fast as the
officers were imprisoned there
would be others to take their
places.

UNHAPPY WOMEN IN
DUTCH WITH POLICE

Atlanta, March 31.-Three unhappy
women figure conspIcuously in the Al
lanta news of today. One is put in
prison; another is released from Jail
but leaves a husband in the cell behind
her, and a third miserable young wife
attempts suicide
The first is Mrs. Samuel Stoe, con
yicted along with her husband as a
white SLAYER. Judge Newman has SEN
fenced her to eight months in the
county Jail. She was found guilty of
conribuing o ruin OF a young girl
namedAnnie Bond, whom she and her
husband took from Atlanta to Birming-
ham.
The second is Mrs. Edith Cartaugh
Marshall, the pretty young girl wife Of
Edward Marshall, alias Rhynata, who
is held as a bank robber. After being
arrested on the receipt of kilograms
from Piqua, Ohio, saying that she had
run away from home with Rhynata,
she was released on a writ Of habeas
corpus, and declares that she will be
loyal to Rhynata. The police are max
ing her very unhappy, however, by de-
claring that hey viii be able to prove

response she gave to questions after
she had regained consciousness. The
husband, who is said to be a stationary
engineer, has strangely disappeared,
and the police are still working on the
case with the idea that there may be
something mysterious about it which
has not yet been fathomed.

Dimes Where He PIeases

Dinner may be in his own home or
in that of one of his friends-Huerta's
ideas of democracy do not prevent him
from dining where he pleaces-verv
likely in one of the public restaurants.
There is one great central restaurant
that has received the greater part Of
his patronage. Here the entrance OF
the president, accompanied by one O.
two of his aids, perhaps a personal
friend. and possibly a member of his
family, has long ceased to be a nov
city, In the days of Porfirio Diaz the
visiting of public dining place was
something of a state ceremony. His
coming and going was carefully staged
and those privileged to witness it were
reckoned among the fortunate. To the
music of the national hymn he enter
ed and retired while all others stood.
A restaurant keeper would have felt
himself justified in raising the prices
on his menu if Diaz had happened to
drop in"
But Huerta is conducting demo
cratic regime. He likes to dine il
public and he does not like formaIities.
He marches in with no apparent con-
Germ, selects a table and orders his
dinner. The orchestra does not in
terrupt the piece it is playing merely
because the president is entering, and
the other diners, grown accustomed
to being co-patrons, do little more THAI
crane their necks to see who it is
dining tonight with Euerta.

Take things as they come" seems
to have been the lifelong philosophy OF
Huerta, tempered always, however,
with the belief that all things come to
him who waits for and seizes the big

one of Huerta's failings. Nor is he

not characterize his methods. He does

as sacred to that ceremony. And so it
has come about that questions of the
greatest import are as likely to be dis
cussed in his private home as in the
national palace, and not at all infre-
ouently he sends word to his ministers
suddenly that he would like to meet
them that very morning in the woods
about Chapultepec castle.
To the famous and ancient park in
which the castle is located he drives in

Rode OH With Charge AZ
Nelson O'shaughnessy lately was the
innocent cause of forcing the ministers
to waste what was doubtless valuable
time. They were walking with the
president in the Chapultepec grounds
when the American charge daffaires
drove by. The president recognized
his car and remembering that there
was something that he wanted to talk
to the American representative about,
signaled him to stop. O'Shaughnessy
aligned, joined the official group, anu
was preparing to continue his drive
when the president asked him to ger
into his car with him. The two drove

GAME IS MORE PLENTIFUL

An Ocala business man, who IS an
observing kind Of fellow, as well as
good shot and an occasional hunter,
in talking of the plentiful supply of
quail and other game, not only in
Marion but all over the state, said
that Several things had made this
condition possible. The destruction of
wildcats as well as the observation
Of the game laws has increased the
number Of deer. Wildcats and all
other "varmints" disappear and are
driven further back as the country
settles up and these kill more birds,
squirrels, turkey and deer than the
hunters. On the other hand, there is
plenty of good squirrel territory left
undisturbed, and as to quail, the more
the country is cleared off and settled
up, the more they are protected and
the faster the increase, for old fields
are their favorite range and in these
near farm houses are very few of the
animals who prey upon them. A
warm and dry Spring, as we had last
spring, is very favorable to quail and
the crop of young birds was large.
Unless it be in the Everglades, where
there is much disregard for the game
laws, deer and turkey in Florida are
more plentiful than they were ten
years ago. With the county, district
and state game wardens, the sheriffs
of the counties as we'll as the judges
in the courts working together the
game supply of Florida will increase
for many years to come. With the
feathered game, if the Audubon So
cieties and the game wardens could
cooperate, the birds, both game and
plume varieties, would increase very
rapidly instead of some of them be-
coming extinct which condition was
| feared.

One of our well-posted older citi
zens comments on the great increase
of rattlesnakes in the last few years.
He says it is owing to the cessation
Of the practice of burning off the
fields and allowing brush and briar
patches to grow in the vicinity of
sinks, which were always favorite
harboring places for snakes. The
briar patches make refugees against
the dogs for quail and rabbits, which
are the natural food of the snakes.
consequently they seldom have to
leave their safety harbors. The Star
thinks it is a good idea to abolish
burning off the woods and fields, but
suggests the active employment of
briar hooks. Some valuable dogs
have been killed recently and there is
no telling when human life will also
go.

The report that Russia has surren-

to Japan in return for military sup
plies, needs confirmation. 1t will be
remembered that the possession of
the island was the rock on which the
treaty of Portsmouth came near
splitting in 1905. Sakhalin is an ISL
and of about $4,000 square miles, ly-
mig north of Yeddo, the second larg-
est island of the Japanese empire, and
along the Siberian mainland. 1t was
taken from Japan by the Russians in
1853, and by them used as a penal
colony. By the treaty of Portsmouth

The Star will venture an optimistic
prediction or two.
First, a number of the saWmills in
this section that have been shut down
for some time will be in operation
within sixty days.
Second, turpentine and rosin will
not only advance in price but the
market will become decidedly more
active, within that length of time.
Third, and lastly, some of the phos-
phate mines will be in operation be-
fore the new year closes.

Albert Hough, whose trial ended in
conviction Christmas day, does not
seem cast down by the result, but
rather relieved. He says he is ready
to go out and work, and after the
long suspense and close confinement,
work in the open air will doubtless
be a welcome change. It is impos@i-
BILE not to be sorry for Hough. No
doubt the memory of his terrible
crime has been and viii be with him
thru life, and will punish him more
severely than the law can do. Deal
ing with such men is one Of the most
perplexing problems that faces civ
iIization. They are a menace to all
peaceful people, yet they cannot be
put under any restraint until they
have broken the law. Sane and re-
sponsible six days in the week, they
are liable to commit some terrible
crime on the seventh. Since society
cannot confne them before they break
the law, it is necessary for its own
protection that it shut them up Sc
curely as soon as they do.

abolish the wasteful system, or no

The sand-oiI combination on Expo
sition street has proved such sue
cess that it is likely the city will use
it quite extensively in future. The
sanded oil doesn't wash into holes

dust that is so trying to the lungs. 1t
costs less to put down and keep in re-

better than brick-it is easier on tires

there was a twenty-foot roadway of it
from Oklawaha avenue to Silver
Springs. All along that route at
present when autoes meet they have
to slacken speed and one of them
generally has to turn out. If the road
was twenty feet wide this annoyance
would be avoided; also, the easier
transportation is, the nearer our port
