constitution and its maintenance as a limita-
ton upon the governing power. Its observance
in practice is even more important than its
existence as a tangible document in the archives
of the government, for, if destroyed or even
repealed, the people could frame and adopt
another. But once the people consent, by pas
sive acquiescene, that the constitution shall
be ignored, they have lost those elements in
human character that are necessary to a self
respecting, self-asserting and self-governing
people,
The most valuable men in public life to-
day are those who insist upon government
by law-who resist every effort to substitute
government according to the changing whins
of men intoxicated with power. We may
sneer at those sticklers for observance of the
constitution. We may condemn them as
over-technical. We may picture them as
standing in the path of progress. But those
who read American history in its deeper signi-
~ficance a generation hence will realize that the
true guardians of liberty have been those men
who took seriously and literally their.oath to
support and defend the constitution.

CATTLEMEN'S ASSOCIATION

The New Mexico Cattle & Horse Grow
ers' Association who hold their annual con-
vcntion in Albuquerque next week, March
~, II, and ~ have a creed or articles Of
faith that speak well for their intentions
and conception of their purpose toward
their members. Under the caption I'VE BE-
lieve" they set forth the following:
We believe that the Cattle and Horse
Growers need Capitalization and organiza-
tinn to secure the enactment of laws which
will protect and foster their needs.
We believe that through cooperation we
better can meet our common enemies-those
animals, human and wild. who have no res
poet for the property of others.
We believe in a fair chance for, and an
understanding with, the ranchcr, dry farmer,
the sheep raiser, and all others who gain
their living from the soil. KNOWLEDGE, not
Ignorance.
We believe in cooperation with the Cat
tie Sanitary Board Bureau Of Animal Indus
try. Forest Service, Indian Service. Gener-
al Land Office. and all other regulatory
bodies to the end that we may know and I'M
their aims and they appreciate our
problems. That we understand each other.
We believe through the Cattle Sanitary
Board of New Mexico the cattlenen of this
state are receiving the best protection in brand
inspection of any state in the Union.
We believe that stockmen should appre-
ciate the economic questions behind the correct
principles Of breeding and growing of cattle
and horses. and that through applying these
principles they can add to their wealth and in
,o1ne. .
We believe in New Mexico, her Resources,
her future. which is ours.
During the past five years the number
cattle in New Mexico have increase from
Sol 900 to I,I45,Ooo, the value a head from
S23 to $4,000 and the total value from Sal

Mr.. STURCES CALLS A
LIE BY ITS RIGHT NAME

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March IS, 1917.
To the Editor of The New Mexican
Santa Fe, New Mexico:
Dear Sir:
In the issue of The Santa Fe New
Mexican under date of March II,
1917 and under the heading of swift
nesses in the Case. Prosecution,
appeared the following statement:
Frank Sturges, Santa Fe Repub-
lican politician. discharged from New
Mexican"
The above statemnt is IN unmitti-
gated and malicious lie, known to
be a lie by every member on the
force of the New Mexican at the
time, and every member of the ed
itorial staff, and the man who wrote
the article knew at the time he. was
writing a deliberate lie with mali
cious intent.
At the time | severed my cor
nections with The New Mexican I
gave MI. March, the then business
manager, two weeks notice in which
to get another man, and the bust
management and myself quit on
the best of terms.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

The revolution which took place this
week in Russia is one of the most remarkable
events of the kind that has ever occurred.
Many quick changes of rules have taken
place in the past by the assassination of the
ruler but in this case the change was brought
about in less than four days, with very lit
tie bloodshed and the renova of the imperial
Gar. without much adieu on his part and with
out any particular dishonor or discredit to
him.
The great ma jority Of the Russians SEEM
ed to want a change and they just went ahead
and made it. Compared with our five months
campaigns for the election Of a president, and
four months wait to install him after his cleo
ton, the Russian method which took only a
one hundredth of the time and almost no ex-
pense, is just about one hundred times more
economical and effective than our method and
besides it has the additional advantage of
bringing about a change just when it is need
ed, and places new officials in power the min
ute the old ones have shown that they are
no longer representing the people.
After all the pooh-bah we hear from day
to day about darkest Russia" demonstra-
ton like the one just given which made a
quick, able, effective and completely demo-
cratic change, should cause us to get up out
of the rut, rub a little of the dust out of our
eyes and contemplate the stagnant United
States.

CONSTITUTIONAL Government

There seems to be a disposition on the part
of some people to criticize those members of
the United States Congress who insist upon
an observance of constitutional requirements.
There is an inclination to have action, regard
less of all else. If the forms of law, consti-
good, but let us have action, whether or no.
Doubtless this tendency is a natural and inc
vitable incident of the American spirit of en-
terprise and adventure.
Whatever the explanation. the apparent
willingness of otherwise law-abiding people to
disregard the provisions of the fundamental
law of the land is cause for deep concern. The
whole essence of popular goveinment-truly
representative government is in q written

ped by it.
There was no occasion for send
ing a tracer after them. They dis
covered themselves. The conductor
heard an explosion from the car. He
thought it MIST be some devilish
device of Villa to slow up the train
nd gave the alarm.
All Kansas City turned out in
fright, the police and fire depart-
ment where rushed to the depot
men ran with their guns, Women
suffragists turned out with mops and
broomsticks. The pacifists were not
slow: they were m hand passing
out appeals for peace at any cost.
The conductor pointed out the car,
they discovered that whatever it
might have been, it was dead any
how.
The loss of the eggs and the I'M
Necessary alarm to the city were all
on account of the stalwart and wal
ike spirit of our president, Why
doesn't he warn American ships to
avoid the b1ocaded region? Has he
always been so keen to maintain
American rights? Didn't he show
his respect for the flag when he
ordered Huerta to salute it? Now
he had rather a thousand boxes Of
eggs should spoil than that Our flag
should not be respected at sea. Why
doesn't he back down and keep out
Of war with Germany the same as
he did with Mexico. Certainly his
bravery now will only aid the Allies.
The German submarine blocade is
only means at the command of the
Central Powers to meet the blocade
enforced by England and her allies.
The highest law of nature is on
the side of Germany and her allies,
the law of self preservation.
How have the allies met the peace
proDosition of our president? They
made answer to him which put peace
ort of the question. They were
like a big dog which had been whip
ped by the little dog. When a dog
of a pacifists tried to restore peace
the big dog would not consent to
any terms of peace unless the little
dog would drop his tail and run
yelping for his life. England the
big dog the controller of an Empire
won by conquest says that Germany
must roll her face in the dust and
give up every thing she ever won.
and promise under bond to do SO no
more before she will consider peace.
Is it for the United States to aid her
in such effort to reach peace by
humiliation of her enemy?

THE RAILROAD STRIKE

The long threatened railroad strike is
again promised for Saturday night.
We do not believe there will be any ma.
ton wide railroad strike Saturday night or
any other night.
1t is simply a big game of bluff between
two big over fed and over paid a%ggregations
of DULLES who want to show the common peo-
pie how all important they are.
Whenever it comes to the point where
either of them must play ball, there will be
some handy constable around to stop the game,
50 neither side ever will play.
In the meantime the consumer eagerly
jumps at the chance of paying a little more
freight and devoutely thanks his guiding star,
or providence. or some politician, usually the
latter, for having saved him from disaster.
The Record does not see where anything
is TO be gained by putting it off.
We are as much against "watchful waiting"
in this case as in any other, If there is 60
ing TO be a strike why not have it and get
it overWith. 1t would have been far better for
the country to have had it last year when the
Adamson excuse was contrived than it is to
have it now, and it will be far better to have it
now than to have it in six twelve or eighteen
months from now.
If they are bluffing it is time for the
country to quit buying tickets to hear thrnI
wrangle. If they mean business now is the
time to show down.

DR.. D. F. Thomas, of Roswell, whoever
he may be, was in Santa Fe the first of the
week, according to the New Mexican, which
interviewed him, and quotes him in part as
follows:
"The Republicans ought to be wise enough
to figure out what the difficulty has been and
get down to rock bottom and meet the re-
quests of the Progressive elements, but there
doesn't seem to be any hope of this"
Why bless you DR.. Thomas, you poor
little forgotten and overlooked self delusion,
just what the Republicans did long ago, was
to figure out the difficulty right down at
rock bottom and it never figured but one
way and that was that the greater part of
the requests of the Progressive elements" in
New Mexico have been for places on the Re-
publican ticket, or appointments to office. And
the practice of the Progressives has been to
go to the Democrats for places on their ticket
when they failed to get them on the Republi-
can ticket.
Their devotion to the principle of Of
flee seeking has been unreserved, genuine and
continuous. Their other principles are flex-
IDLE and of any band, Republican, when on that
ticket, Democratic, when marching under that
DdiiiSi' anu dutdSOiiSStIC WHICH IOt IeCOSHlZ-
ed by either.
If the principals of the Republican party
are all wrong and its practices all corrupt,
why did fifteen or twenty Progressives har-
rass Governor Lindsey and all the Republican
in the state for appointments during
the last ten days that the legislature was in
session, and why have three or four of them
appointments on state boards?
The Progressive in New Mexico has
never failed to be a blatent .~denlagogue and
He has never found the old parties
unsatisfactory to him until he failed to Sc
office, or special privilege, or advant-
age; he has never found words too vile, or
abuse to venomous, to use against them after
failing to secure such special consideration ;
and he has never hesitated to swallow every
hing he has said and charged, leaving the
to choose for themselves as to whether
ne falsified for effect or did not believe what
,e professed, when there wa a chance to Sc
office from either party, but promptly
the same and with it endorsed fully
md unequovically everything he had con-
a short time before.

THE MEXICAN MENACE

If serious trouble is not caused to the
| 'nited States by Mexican activities in the neal
future, it will not be from lack of i'll will OF
activity on the part of numerous German
agents or Mexican politicians. All kinds OF
stories are afloat relating to various schemes
ranging from open across the border to the
erection of powerful wireless instruments by
which communication is established by Mexico
City with Berlin.
Among other things it is reported that
hundreds of Germans are leaving the Unit
ed States for Mexico. 1t is not surprising in
view of the probability that armed neutrality
will result in open war in the near future that
a large number of Germans in the United
States, and under present conditions Mexico
is about the only place they can go. None
the less their presence in Mexico will be a
menace to the United States. Some of them
will consider it to be their patriotic duty to
make all the trouble they can, in all the ways
they can, for the United States, and they will
find ready material for their work among the
Mcxicans who are strongly anti-American in
sentiment.
This condition in our n~eighboring repub-
lie is exactly what was predicted as one of the
results of the watchful waiting policy. The
United States has spent more than one hum
dred and fifty millions of dollars for the
Pershing expedition and the border guard;
more than a hundred American lives have been
destroyed and the loss of life and property
to the Mexicans has been incalculable. As a
result Of this loss and expenditure we have
accomplished nothing toward the permanent
settlement OF Mexican problem, but we have
earned the contempt as well as the hatred of
a large part Of the Mexican people, who will
now listen readily to any fanciful tale of
and revenge which the German agi-
NAV tell them.

I've noticed when a fellow dies,
No matter what he's been,
A sanity chap, or one whose life
Was darkly marked with sin,
His friends forget the bitter words
They spoke but yesterday,
And now they find a multitude
OF pretty things to say.
I fancy when I go to rest
Someone will bring to light
Some kindly words, or goodly act,
Long buried out of sight;
But if it's all the anne to you,
Just give to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living,
The knocking when I'm dead.
l m quite alive and we1l to-day,
And while I linger here
Send me a helping hand at times
Give me a word of cheer.
Just change the game a little bit
just kindly swap the decks,
For I will be no judge of flowers
When I pass in my checks. Elk

THE WORLD AFTER THE WAR

There are three possible results of the
present war in Europe, and consequently there
are three possible conditions in which the
world may find itself after the war.
The first of these results, and the one
that now seems least likely, is such a success
for the German armies as would make it pos
sible for the present imperial government of
that nation to dictate the terms of peace. In
that case we should see a great empire, ex-
tending from the North sea to the Persian
gulf, and very much stronger in military
power than any other political organization in
the world. OF this great empire, Germany
would be the central controlling power, just
as Prussia is nov the controlling power of
Germany, and if Germany were victorious in
the present war, there is every reason to be-
lieve that this central empire would continue
to increase rapidly in power for many years
to ONE Such an empire would be the rea-
@lization of a dream long cherished by ONE
German statesmen, who have openly expressed
their hope of establishing the domination of
German ideas throughout the world.
The second result, and the one most pro-
bable, is the result of a drawn battle, and some
form of compromise in the peace settlement
which will make possible the continuation of
the rivalry in manufacturing and m
between the allies of the central states and al
lies of the entente. Such a peace, it is to be
greatly feared, would be no more than an
armed truce, in which both parties would be
constantly preparing for the armed conflict
of the future. A peace of this kind would
not be accepted willingly by either of the part
les to the present war, but it may come as
the result of the inability of either to obtain a
decisive victory.
The third result, and the one that would
be most in keeping with the wishes of the
people of the United States, would be neither
the triumph of the British cause, nor the tri-
tmph Of the German cause, nor a drawn bat
tie, but the triumph of the cause of peace,
civilization and worldwide humanity. We
10 not want to see the world ruled by Prus-
militarisnl, or dominated by British aris-
tocracv and commercialisn, but we wish to see
a world in which the people of every nation in
The world will be free to work out their own
civilization according to their own ideas, in
liberty and peace. We are not so foolish as
to believe that every savage tribe and every
nation now possesses the ability of
government, but we believe that the key
to the future peace and civilization of the
world. is to be found in world federation and
not in world empire.
