MONEY ON HAND FOR
SEVERAL NEW HIGHWAYS

State Engineer James A. French
has returned from a comprehensive
survey of road work in the south
ern part Of the state and made ar
engagements for resumption of spring
work OF most of the highways under
construction.
He was much pleased with the
work on the Silver City-Tyrone road.
of which twelve miles has been COM
pleted at a cost Of $4,000 making
a magnificent scenic drive almost
the rival of the scenic highway in
the Santa Fe canyon. The county
commissioners of Grant county made
arrangements to turn over to the
state highway department 5000 now
in the Mogollon road fund together
with the proceeds of this years levy
amounting to 5000, which together
with $4,000 left in the Silver City,
Tyrone fund will be expended by
the state engineer on the scenic
highway between Silver City and
Cleft on the Mogollon road. OF the
proposed Lincoln county road bond
issue $4,000 is to be spent on the
road from Corona to Carizozo. 81 90
Whit" Oaks to Carizozo and j.
%caril1a. $1,000 Lincoln to Arabel'a,
81 son in Devils canyon. $500 on
the Alto-Nogal road. and $500 on the
Angus Captain road. while the re-
mainder of the $4,000 bond issue
will be spent on other highways.

Is Making Good.

Ira O. Wetmore, Republican re.
preventative from Lincoln county,
before the end of the sixty-day SEES
sion of the legislature will be one
of the most widely known members
in New Mexico's law making body.
Such is the opinion Of not only
his friends and admirers back home,
but of many OTHERS as well. Rarely,
indeed does il occur to any member
in his first tern to be SO recognized
and chosen m the large number Of
Standing committees upon which
Mr.. Wetmore has been announced
among other things bespeaking Lin
coin cCrnty's representatives popu-
'ar.ty and fitness, in addition furth-
er eGuipping him with a force and
prestige which viii be of great use
to hun when Mr.. Wetmore desires
to make things move at the state
capitol.
1ner" is no question about Lincoln
county obtaining further promi-
hence through her chosen represen-
tative and Lincoln citizens and con-
stituents Of Mr.: Wetmore should
Justly feel proud of the excellent
showing he is bound to make in the
legislature, proving himself beyond
doubt the right maj in the right
nlacc.-Carrizozo Outlook.

WHAT'S THE IDEA, ANYHOW.

There are, perhaps, a few people in New
Mexico who do not understand the New Mex
lean, and those few. if they are in suffi-
cient numbers to count as even "a few" may
give some consideration to a recent series of
editorials devoted to the usual fault finding.
The New Mexican is one Of those I'M
fortunate newspaper abortions geneally in the
newspaper graveyard, and il would be there
too, but for the mistaken and misguided eff
forts Of a gentleman with more money than
political understanding and more cupidity
than reason. 1t started in some three or more
years ago as a republican newspaper and be-
came independent with Teddy, which was
evidently its excuse. Ever since it has squirm-
ed arouml trying to get in m something or
another, and can not, because all the editorial
responsibility seems to have been lodged with
gentlemen of intellect. b1t absolutely no
knowledge Of New Mexico conditions and the
general workings OF our form of government
in the actual trials Of nation building. In fact,
these gentlemen are 50 f~earfully aristocratic
and exclusive that it is doubtful if they have
made the acquaintance of a real empire build
er, or any man important in the effort and
labor necessary to construct great things from
small beginnings-because such a man must
labor both with his mind and his hands, and
has'become too practical to waste his time list
ening to dreamers and castlebuilders.
Therefore, it happens, that when things
political do not work out just according to
the dreams of the chief dreamer, there is a
loud squawk from the New Mexican, to which
nobody nowadays pays very much attention,
but it sometimes deceives a stranger. for a few
days.

%CARRANzA'S VICTORY

Venustiano Carranza, self-styled first
to 4 higher state of self esteem, if that is
possible, when he hears that General Perish
ing's expedition has withdrawn from Chihua-
hua. and that an ambassador of the United
States is to be sent to Mexico City.
It was Carranza who alone among the
chicftains Of McNico, boldly deficd the Unit
ed States when he and they were summoned
TO PVT an end To- Mexican turmoil and insur-
%rection, and for that bold Insult he was re
wardcd with recognition by Washington as
the head Of the Mexican government.
1t was Carranza who refused to Perish
ing's expedition the use Of the Mexican rail
roads. thereby saving Villa from death or cap
ture, and putting the United States to an i'm
mense amount Of unnecessary and useless ex-
lense.
Ii was Carranza who drew the dead line
resulted in the massacre Of American soldiers,
in the American Uniform and under the Ameri-
can flag. at Carrizal, a foul outrage for which
no reparation has yet been exacted.
1t was Carranza who steadfastly met
every claim Of the United States with the un-
wavering demand that Pershing must be with
drawn, and who refused to sign the agree
ment reached by the American and Mexican
commissioners because unconditional with
drawl Of the American expedition was not the
preliminary of that agreement.
AT last Carranza wins. Pershing has
withdrawn. Fletcher goes TO Mexico City.
And the government of the United States is
watchfully waiting for new development in
the Mexican situation.

A MUCH NEEDED HIGHWAY

\ bill for one Of the most needed roads
in the state. now pending before the Senate,
is that which provides the means for the con-
structior Of a road from Corona in the north
part Of Lincoln county with Taos, thus pass
ing through, and accommodating a large per-
ccntage of the people Of Torrance, Santa Fe,
Rio Arriba and Taos counties and connecting
all of the counties with the Pecos valley and
.incoln and Otero counties.
Parts OF this road are already in fairly
good condition and the bill provides specifi-
cally that the other portions, TO be selected by
the state engineer, be built, or repaired at
once, by contract, on specifications drawn by
that official.
Provision is made for the temporary use
Of money now on hand and idle in state funds
for immediate construction, the same to be
by the counties through which it
passes as soon as the proceeds of a special
levy, for which the bill also provides, are
AS this measure is of interest and bene-
to all northern New Mexico and all of the
southeastern counties it has great merit and
we believe it should be given special considera-
ion and preference.
The means proposed would also be eff
,ective and result in more prompt construc-
ion of several counties acting independent

RANCHER SUED FOR
BREACH OF PROMISE

Socorro. N. M. Jan. 3l.-Barney
McKefrey. a wealthy rancher of the
western part of the county, today
lost in the snit brought against him
by a Mrs. Wilson for breach of
promise. Mrs. Wilson. who declared
that previous to his marriage a short
time ago McKefrey promised to mar
ry her, demanded $4,000 as balm to
her wounded affections. The court
awarded her $1,000. The verdict of
guilty. was a surprise to McKefrey's
friends.
The case against Santa Cruz Ma
ranio for the seduction of Miss ].
A. Taylor was adjourned until the
next term of court. Reason for this
was the announcement of one of the
members of the jury just as that
body was almost selected that he
had received a letter, unsigned,
asking him to work for the de-

"JUDGE NEBLEn"

Under the above caption, in the issue of
September 22, 1916, four months and a week
before his appointment was sent to the u. S.
senate for confirmation, the Record had the
following to say, editorially. about Judge
Neblett:
Among those mentioned for the federal
judgeship is District Judge Colin Neblett of
the sixth judicial district.
Judge Neblett is a man of natural judi
cial temperament, insight and ability, and
would be a credit to the state. He is not
encased in a shell of personal hauteur, or
lcr,neated with political animus, which is the
condition of some of the candidates for the
honor.
"He is a man among men, able, just, and
alert, and would make a federal Judge who
would perpetuate the present high regard and
respect in which our federal court has been
held.
an him the democratic organization has
IN opportunity, which for the good of the
state and its people, we hope to see them
The Record has nothing to rctract and
li,tlc to add to the above opinion, excepting
to say that practically all democrats, aside
from the other candidates and their close
friends, were pleased with his appointment
this week, and that he is more satisfactory
TO the republicans than any other democratic
member of the New Mexico bar would have
been.
In the issue Of January IL, 1917, only
weeks ago, the Record, in conn
nenting on the delay in the appointment of
a federal Judge. again said editorially:
''The appointment of a federal Judge for
district which the leading democrats con-
expected would be made Monday or
Tuesday has not yet materalized and there
is nothing sure now as to when it will be
The delay is caused by the ardent sup
port which Judge Neblett is receiving from
his friends in the southern part of the state
as 4 candidate in opposition to A. H. Hubs
peth who is the democratic political machine
candidate with the support of Mcdonald,
Jones and Seligman. This complication may
lead to the appointment of some other mar
not actively engaged in politics in New Mex
CO."
In passing from the subject we want to
all attention to the very pertinent fact that
he appointment of Judge Neblett, popular as
1 is with the people, was not made upon the
commentator Of either Mcdonald, Jones,
,r Seligman, but in spite of them and their
.lcsires. No, the democratic organization did
lot utilize its opportunity for the good of the
tate and its people, but the good people of the
tate got what they wanted by going around
he organization after it.

One of the p~aradoxical monstrosities now

One of the paradoxical monstrosities now
before the legislature is a bill which purports
to be an act TO prohibit gambling" The
object and purpose of this bill is to legalize
gambling by the ladies. Why the men are
excluded from the benefits of this sorely need
ed relief measure is not apparent unless it is
thought by the solons that the men can get
all there is coming to them by furnishing the
wherewith to their wives and sweethearts
to carry on the speculations.

That the governor will not ap-
point members of the state boards,
SO ruthlessly asked to resign, during
the present week is announced in
papers Of the state. 1t may be sew
eral weeks for the matter. The SUBJ
governor is said to be handling a
lot of correspondence from fellows
who would like the jobs, and it is
the full consideration of the
yelled government to get the right
so as to best serve the
interests of the people of the state.
In fact, the appointment of the en-
tire membership of two score boards
is a job for the board of strategy
at best.
