AGAINST
REFERENDUM

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept. g.
The secretary of state of New
Mexico cannot be compelled tc
submit to a referendum vote
the question of ratifying the
national prohibition amend.
Iment, it is ruled by Judge Reed
Holloman, of the first district
court, in a twenty-page opin-
ion that was filed today.
Four reasons are given for
the refusal to issue the writ of
mandamus to compel the Sec
retary of state to submit the
question. One of the most i'm
portant reasons is that the
court holds indiscriminate sale
lof liquors is a menace to the
health and safety of the pub
Ilic.
The next move will be to
lput this important case into the
supreme court, where it will
be carried on appeal. A re-
view of this case, up through
Judge Holloman's ruling, is in
teresting.
One Of the first acts of the
fourth New Mexico legislature
was to pass a resolution rati-
flying the national prohibition
amendment. A short time lat
er a petition, in due form and
carrying 5000 more than the
required number of signatures,
was filed with the secretary of
state, praying that. the amend
ment be referred to a vote of
the people at the next general
election, in November, 1920,
under the referendum provis-
ion of the state constitution.
Under the advice of the at
torney general, the secretary
gave notice that he would re-
fuse to submit the question to
a referendum vote. The attor-
ney general held that the issue
was not one contemplated by
the New Mexico constitution
as subject to the referendum.
The petitioners, through A.
B. Renehan, their counsel, then
carried their case into the dis
trict court, filing petition for
a writ of mandamus to compel
the secretary of state to sub
NIT the issue. A peremptory
writ of mandamus was then
issued, citing the secretary of
state to appear on August %
and show cause why he would
not submit the issue to a vots
of the people. At that hear
ing the attorney general, as
counsel for the secretary of
state, filed a demurrer to the
petition. On the suggestion of
Judge Holloman, presiding ad-
ditional time was given to
counsel to amend his demurr-
er so as to plead that the rati-
fication by the legislature of
the national prohibition amend
ment was a matter concerning
the public peace, health or
safety"
The New Mexico .constitu-
ton expressly provides that
any law affecting the public
peace, health or safety, shall
not be submitted to a refer
endum vote. It was the first
time that this particular ques-
ton had been raised in any of
the states where an effort has
been made to submit the ma
tional prohibition to a refer
endum vote. In the states of
Ohio, South Dakota and Wash
ington, the important point
was as to whether the
federal constitution, in using
the term Legislature" intend
ed to refer only to the gen.
eral assembly as the lawmak-
ing body; or to include also

ratification, and a prediction that 1t

There were some showers
during the past week, mostly
light ones. Monday was a
cloudy, drizzly day, with occa-
sional showers. The rainfall
probably amounted to a fourth
or a third of an inch in Es-
tancia, and was probably more
in some localities. Altogether
the week was a fairly good
one for the bean harvesters
and the work made good pro-
gress, considering the short
age of help. The next week
if favorable, will see prac-
tically all the beans cut.
Many well qualified to Judge
say the bean yield is not 60
ing to be as heavy as some
anticipated.

really is The map show this week does not tell
all but it gives more than forty buildings which To-
Gated on the college DOMAIN"
Really there five great schools grouped together;
a College; Normal school; Vocational school;
Academy and a Foundation school. In this way Berea
provides something good for every conner" And by
having all these schools grouped together under
management the institution is able to give far greater
advantages and at far less cost.

their children and have been greatly delighted visit

rea for the short courses in agricul-
ture and home science.
Listen Farmers, if you will send
your son To Berea this winter while
the weather is bad in order that he
may take our short course in agri-
culture, ii will be worth hundreds
OF dollars to you in the future. He
will be taught how to analyze soils,
farm crops, and feed stock for pro-
tit. He will be taught TO keep ac-
counts and choose the kinds Of crops
and the breed Of stock that can be
most successfully raised in your
particular community. II is an OPP
portunity 10 improve your own
profession and give your son a
chance TO become independent.
The same can be said Of our short
courses in home science and home
nursing. These are practical
courses that every girl should take,
and are recommended by the Red
Gross. The Home Science girls in
Kentucky Hall are a happy company.
And the places waiting for Berea
trained men as county demonstra-
tors in agriculture pay surprising
salaries.
Drop a line to the Secretary ask
ing for further information, or, bet
ter, come on the next train.

Berea's Winter Term

The winter term began this year on New Years
Day. More than FIVE hundred students registered the
day before The rain stopped Wednesday morning just
long enough for the great procession to march with
band and banners from Ladies Hall to the Chapel.
President Frost asked all those who were in the
Chapel for the first time stand up and large
and bright company. He assured them that they had
great many young people among whom they would find
aequaintances and assured them that in short time
they would have friends in Berea than anywhere
else.
Many will be hndered in starting because of the
bad weather, but the tremendous demand for young
people with Berea traning-teachers, county demon
straors farmers mechanics, etc.-will crowd Berea's
class rooms, and many parent feels that going to
Berea is safer for their sons and daughters than
staying at home.

Berea's Large Beginning

Berea College OF five departments

just long enough TO allow the great
procession with band and banners
to march from Ladies' Hall TO the

an opening address Of welcome, with
some advice on the care Of health
and New Years resolutions.
The great demand for Berea train
ed teachers as well as for county
demonstrators and home science
specialists. prepared in our Normal
and Vocational departments, is
among the things which bring stu
dents in great numbers from long
distances.
Now that the rain storms have
ceased and the weather is cool and
crisp many who have been delayed
are coming. One special point
should be noted by all new corners
The opportunities Cor young people
in the agricultural and home science
departments are growing larger
every year Farmers with small
farms should by all means avail
