FROM BAD TO WORSE

We understand that q number OF
brilliant statesmen in the house are
pointing with pride TO the report OF
the Santa Fe county grand jury AZ
justification for the passage Of the
Law TO Permit Gambling"
The grand jury, as we understand
IL, believes that the present anti
gambling law is difficult of consist
ent enforcement because it applies
with equal force to fashionable
bridge parties and low dives. The
Majority logic, then. it appears, Is
that ! f the present law against
gambling is inconsistent, the way TO
clear up the difficulty is simply to
abolish it and take the lid off. For
that is what the law passed by the
house does, in omitting anything TO
penalize those who fail to enforce
what limited provisions il has.
That there is some difference be.

den with loaded games 10 rob work

go to the support Of their families
and who nightly clean up thousands
of dollars, and the society women
who universally play bridge for a
hand painted plate or a cut glass
bon-bon dish is self-evident. To re-
move all restrictions from the form

the ladies to the penitentiary at hard
labor IS flimsy subterfuge. II

the criminal and protect the habitual
gambler against himself without in.

gambling, great or small, on the an
alogy Of theft, you don't want the
same punishment for the man who
swipes your lead pencil as you do
for the one who steals house and
lot; and because you don't wish to
send your friend to Jail when he
takes a cigar out of your coat pocket
you do not advocate exemption for
the safe cracker, the auto thief or
professional yegg-man. Neither the
report of the Santa Fe grand jury
nor anything else is going to palliate
the offense of the majority in open.

Under sky Of azure
Where balmy breezes blow,
Kissed by the golden sunshine
Is Nuevo Mexico;
Home of the Montezuma
With fiery heart aglow
State of the deeds historic,
Is Nuevo Mexico.
Refrain
o fair New Mexico
We love, we love you so
Our hearts with pride o'erhow
No matter where we go;
o fair New Mexico,
We love, we love you so
The grandest state we know,
New Mexico.
Rugged and high Sierras
With deep canons below,
Dotted with fertile valleys
Is Nuevo Mexico;
Fields full of sweet alfalfa,
Richest perfumes bestow:
State of the apple blossom,
Is Nuevo Mexico.
Days that are filled with heart dreams
Nights when the moon hangs low
Breathing its benediction,
O'ed Nuevo Mexico;
Land with its bright manana
Coming through veal and woe;
State Of our esperanza,
Is Nuevo Mexico.

who Had the Happier Lot, the Lady or
the Laborer?
A Fashionable Woman, coming from
the Opera in the rosy nest of a Limou-
sine. passed q group of Laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible Ami
mails, were burrowing into the Earth
Steam was Kissing as If from the
mouths Of a million Serpents Rocks
flew in every direction. Torchlights
famed. There was the thunder Of La
Dor. The Night Shift was in full swing
And the Woman glancing from the
window at a certain Workman, for an
instant thought:
How | wish had that brawny La
borer's strength and Joy of Life! How
L envy him his Power. his physical per
lection. the wonder Of his Manhood.
his freedom from the Shackies that
bind me. He is his own master. while
| am a slave-the slave of Man
despise!'
At that moment the Laborer paused
long enough by the deep Chasm where
his Engine rocked to glance into the
Motor as it sped by him. And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her! To know Leisure
and Wealth and Rest! To be free from
Drudgery and Toll, to come and go as
l pleased! To throw off the chains OF
Debt and Worry and have the days
and nights stretch ahead of me like q
Field Of Flowersr'
But in another instant the Motor was
gone. The Torchlights fared brighter
than ever. And each had forgotten the
other. - Charles Hanson Towne, in
