The How of
The Legal Normal

AT the county normal two
years ago last July-the first
held here since the old days, we
were of "one mind and one faith"
as to the Importance of legal
normal for Baca county, inelu-
sive of our present county SUPER
intendent.
Mrs. OIdem, now Mrs. kett,
was then superintendent, and on
one day of the normal brought
the matter up for discussion and
consideration; and at that meet
ing there was not a dissenting
expression, sentiment or feeling.
Prof. Philips, the superintend-
ent, aud several of the teachers
made short talks on the matter,
ourselves making some explana-
tions of the necessary modus op
erandi OF securing the desired
legality of the normal, and the
difference it would make in
building up Baca county nor
NAL school.
Mrs. Oldem then appointed a
committee to draw up resolutions
along legal normal lines, the
committee consisting of herself,
Earl Denney, Miss Herbers and
Miss ScEwei2er, and among 9TH
er Result tiOps the following WAS
reported and unanimously ap-
proved by the school, we here

counties" to county,"
''Resolveb, that the normal of
BacH county bc recognized, and
that all funds going to the sup
port of the district normal be
retained IN This county tor the
support Of the county normal. -
Earl c, Denney was in favor of
a legal normal at that time, and
DR.. Hasty promised to help in
the 'egisiaUure.
We believe the editorial in last
weeks Sentinel, which we are
noticing elsewhere, explains
, Earl's change of front in the
matter indeed that he

We are enthusias sticalIy in ear

that Earl permitted himself to
be influenced against it, aud
against his own feelings in the
matter, and against the inter.
ests OF the teachers of the coun-
ty ard the schools they teach.
/ If we had been unfof tunate
enough TO have broken into the
legislature, legal normal for
Baca county would have been
one OF the first things to which
we would have given our atten-
ton, and we would hive gotten
it-or busted hames tring try

The Herd Law
And the Herd Law Bill

Allu lllG nGlu LdW Dill
Purely as a personal conviction
we don't believe in herd law
don't believe in it because we
don't believe fenceless country
will ever be Il prosperous country
SO long as it remains fenceless.
We do believe that if, as part
OF the necessary improvements
to prove up, the government had
required II three wire fence wit
posts rod apart around, say ut
least 80 acres, it would have gone
long ways towards putting this
country on the highway of pros
perity.
While we do not believe a herd
law is what the people want, we
do believe they should have what
they think they want.
We are consequently in favor
of the introduction OF a local op.
ton bill in the state legislature
and Its enactment into law, and
then such counties as want a
herd law could vote for it and
get it.
This is our stand on the herd
law.
Now for the Denver Post, Hog
gait herd law bill, to be voted on
III November.
In the first place, we are quite
sure the good people of Baca
county have no interest in fore.
ing herd law on Prowers coun-
", on ;.ny other county in the
state.
In the second place, for dia-
bolical disregard of right and
wrong, and sinister viciousness
in design, the Denver Post Great
Divide-Hoggatt bill L,ls all other
bills skinned II mile.
Here is the very first provision
of that bill.
Sec. l. The owner, person in
possession, or care-taller of any
domestic animal, or animals,
shall, hereafter, be liable for all
injury or damage done BY such
domestic animal, or animals.
You will notice there is not one
single exception or provisional
condition as to such damage.
Consequently, by the terms Of
this bill, if enacted into law, you
can turn your colts, or calves OF
other stock into Il mans lot or
pasture where there are vicious
bulls or stations or other danger.
Gus animals, and you can make
Mr.. Man pay all damage to your
stock.
Or you can drive a mans stock
out of his pasture into your crop,
and make him pay the damages.
Or you can set basket OF. f.eggs
in front of a paving horse, and
make his owner pay the dam.
ages.
Look over that first section agair
and tell US who you are going tt
sue-the owner, the care-taker,
or the man in possession. II
says one of the three shall be
liable-but which one?
We believe this bill should be
voted down, regardless of wheth
er you are in faver of a herd laH
or not.
Then the legislature SHOULD
give the country chance to vote
on local option bill, thus to Civ,
each county a chance to get ant
and have what it wants.
