"TRUE FRIENDS" OF TEMPERANCE

The wish is father to the thought. Two
Of Our leading Temperance" dailies. went into
e~cstacies and Scare heads over the news
that the state han been handed a gold brick
by the legislature in the form of a prohibi-
ton amendment that was neatly worded so as
to mean nothing at all.
The fact of the matter is that if the reso-
luton were to be worded the way the virtuous
papers point out, it could not be construed to
be a law. That the present draft is all right
is affirmed by members of the state supreme
court and manv lawyers of prominence who
were consulted when the resolution was drawn.
1t is also a fact, that the two conscientious
dailies might have easily ascertained that the
constitutional amendments already passed in
New Mexico since statehood are worded in
precisely the same way.
If the prohibition amendment is illegal,
the others are illegal. The wide circulation,
and extensive influence of the righteous dailies
referred to, is such that much harm has al
ready been done the temperance cause by their
imprisoned action. That they will retract, in
scare heads as big and as black as they have
is not expected by those who have
watched the palavering policies of the two
giants in question.

SHOWING THE WORLD

The republicans Of New Mexico, with a
commanding majority in the state Legislature,
have declared to the world their position in
this German trouble. They are p~artisans
within this government, because they believe
their ideas of government and policies best
meet the needs of the American people, but
partisansIip is a family matter, and as Ameri-
cans we all stand together.
The republicans of this nation have be-
lieved, and do still that President Wilson has
taken too much i~nsolence already, and now
that he has taken a firm stand he has the
hearty support and cooperation of every re-
publican.
The American people are not rnurderers
nor international robbers, and if they go to
war it must be to maintain some great prin-
ciple. The freedom Of the seas is a principle
OF right, written on the pages Of the Book of
Time in the blood Of our forefathers. and if
the American people are forced to strike they
will show the world that they strike hard at
their enemies, strong in knowledge of right.
The American people do their own think
ing, and thew are not being led into this behind
the insane ideas Of a degenerate ruler, but
will go into battle with the confidence of men
who have given their support to a principle
which stands the test Of enlightened Christian
reasoning.

state, and several adjoining states. 1t has fol-
lowed a system of libeling men and standing
up to the misstatements through to the last,
a number of times paying for its libelous work,
but oftener escaping for the many causes
working to protect any publication, no matter
of what character, in such campaigns of defa-
nation.
The Journal has been enabled to inflict it.
self upon the people of this state because, like
the New Mexican, it had a millionaire to do
the paying, and the fact that he was foolish
enough to pay was thoroughly known to the
men directing the policies of the sheet.
When republicans object to the falsehoods
of the Journal they are accused of having par
.tisan prcjudices against the publication because
it has SO often sold out the party, but this
time the announcement Of the policy comes
from democrats, and the democrats have every
reason for putting up with as much of the
character smashing work of the Journal as
they possibly can, because they have been pro-
fitting thereby. However, the work Of the
Journal is getting too general, and too raw.
