TORRANCE CO.
OFFICIALS
SUSPENDED


speaking Of the suspension Of the
commissioners and clerk of Tor
rance county, has the following
to say:
Judge Goblin Neblett, of the
Sixth Judicial district, arrived
here on the evening train Satur-
day and held a night session of
court, disposing Of the prelimin-
ary investigation in the case
against the county commissioners
and the county clerk.
All were suspended from Office
pending the trial of the cases,
which we underetand will be at
Carizozo in March.
None Of the defendants had at
torneys, claiming that they could
not get their attorneys here, after
it was known when ajudge would
be here. in time to 60 to trial Sat
urday night.
But one of the county commits
sioners, Librado Valencis, was
present, and no defense was made
in their cases.
The evidence presented was in
regard to the transfer of funds
drawing warrants on the court
house and Jail fund for bills not
properly chargeable to that fund;
failure on several occasions to
have proceedings of the board
published within the time specified
by law; failure to have made and
published an annual statement Of
the finances of the county as re-
quired by law; allowing petition
ers in two certain cases to nay the
expenses of a special meeting Of
the board held to consider their
petitions; failure to allow certain
bills filed by the sheriff; and per-
haps some other things Of a SINH
lar nature.
In the case of County Clerk Ga
llegos, the defendant himself con-
Quoted defense. He handled
the case well, and apparently sue
ceeded in neutralizing all testi-
mony introduced against him eX-
cept in the matter of mistakes
made by his deputies in recording
instruments. The testimony in
troduced was, as to these mis-
takes; in the matter Of declining
to issue an alias warrant asked
for by the sheriff; in the matter
of discourteous treatment of Fred
H. Ayers, attorney; in the matter
of his appointment, in connection
with the resignation of Manuel
Sanchez, Jr.; and testimony by
Manuel Sanchez, Jr., to the effect
that he had paid to the defendant
various sums Of money for the
purpose of securing the allowance
of bills by the county commission
ers.. In the matter of the alias
warrant, it was shown thatit was
asked for in case which had been
dropped from the docket with
leave to reinstate, and the defend
ant doubted his right to issue it,
that the district attorney told him
he was right in declining to issue
the warrant, and thatit was after
ward issued under instructions OF
the judge. In the Fred H. Ayers
matter, Mr.. Ayers stated the oc-
currences in which some heated
language was used by Gallegos
who afterward apologized, anc
from whose statement at that time
it appeared that the witness haC
understood different language tt
have been used in part; and the
witness got what he wanted. II
the matter of the appointment

The record in this matter is fami
liar to all our readers. The de

Mustn't Haul Voters.

No more can the, candidates get out
the old wagonette and haul the aged
voters to the polls to boost the
maiorities. No more can the can
didate's friends send their buggies
out after voters who are lame, halt
and blind.
Section So, page 464, of the laws of
1918, says: "No person or persons
shall use or employ any carriage or
automobile or vehicle of any kind for
the purpose of hauling voters to the
polls on primary election days.
Section 95 adds: "Any person vio-
lating any of the provisions contained
in sections SO to 94 inclusive shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
upon conviction be punished by fine
of not less than $50 nor more than
$500, or imprisonment in Jail not less
than one month nor more than six
months, or both such fine and i'm
prisonment, and in case such violation
by successful candidate for office, ii
shall operate 9 forfeiture of office. =

perpetual School"

Poor little children of Chicago! Not
content with ten months school
term that begins in the blazing
weather of early September and ends
in the sultriness of mid June, the mis-
taken school authorities of that city
want either a twelve month school
term or school day beginning at 8
A. M. and closing at $3.50 in the after
noon. 1t should be explained in this
connection that the "school author
tiles" mean Ella Flagg Young, Super
intendent Of Schools.
Common sense, even in fad mad
Chicago, will agree with the teachers
there who are registering their pro-
tests against continuous session. A
school day lasting from 8 O'Clock till
$3.50 in the afternoon is unthinkable
from the standpoint of child health.
1t will be hard to justify the abolition
of vacations for teachers and harder
still to justify it SO far as the child is
concerned.
There are indications that Ella Flaga
Young has presumed too far upon hel
hold over the Chicago teachers. Hel
plan for teaching sex-hygiene hat
been virtually repudiated, her support
not being strong enough to force
through that programme even witt
the teachers aid. Now the teacherl
turn against her in body when sh'
proposes that they work through tn,
full twelve months without additiona
pay.
All the truant laws and compulsor,
education acts that might be passed
would not hold the youngsters il
school twelve months in the year
The sschool-room would become
place of torture under this plan 0
