FIRES AND BACKFIRES.

q Mr.. John Conway, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, has been called before the
Legislature to explain what the legislative committee
of the State Teachers association intends to do
with $500 which Mr.. Conway asks the teachers of
the state to send in--at 50 per teacher There are
2,752 teachers in the state
The journal is delighted with this surface indi-
cation that the legislature intends be very
sensitive concerning Hobbies. We are, ourselves We
feel that the Hobbies of past legislatures have been
blot on the good name of the state There in
dications of less scandalous repetition Of
this offense
The Journal said it would expose any uncon-
iscionabe lobbying. Was the who introduced
this resolution simply wag he hurrying to
out-Journal the Journal? Or is he merely against
raising the of teachers and is therefore start
ing backfire early?
The State Teachers association voted levy of
50 per member at their meeting year ago, 1t
to be used to educate the public in the mat
ter of teachers salaries. A year has passed and
few dollars have trckled into the treasury. Some
thing like $1,000 was spent last summer in news
paper advertising This special fund still owes the
general treasury almost all of this 81 900 Some $400
will be needed for the expenses of a committee to
appear before the Legislature and explain the
of the teachers. Mr.. Conway's call will pro-
duce this $140O IN real Observation-Disclosures money so
there is not much occasion to fear that the teach
ers intend to influence the legislature with money.
They must not attempt to influence it with any
effort at over-awing. If they do, the Journal will
protest When they do it will be time enough for
any member of the legislature to get excited
If the members of the legislature need a muck
rakng pastime let them make study of who has
rented houses and large hotel suites in Santa Fe
for the session. Let them learn why certain well
known citizens aye so conspicuous around the state
house.
Better still, let's have joint resolution requir-
ing all lobbyists to register and state ter business

in the meantime, heckling John Conway may be

will handle it as news the benefit of its readers

Yet they are among the city's real heroines. But
there is nothing spectacular about their courage
and they remain unsung
These women are peculiarly the product of AL
buquerques health conditions. Many of them have
sick husbands who have been forced to give up
their natural role of breadwnners,
So there is but thing for these plucky wom-
en- to do-to take up their husbands work and also
to strive-sometmes with ptfu results-to keep
a vestge of their home life intact.
The normal woman is at bottom homemaker.,
When she marries she dreams of little nest of
her own. with big. strong mate to help her feath-
err it with the good things of life-and few of
the beautiful, too. When fate fails her, and the
mate is longer big and strong, what woman
can help feeling a pang of disappointment?
Yet these brave women of ours do not give way
to grief They brush away the few tears that will
come once in a WHILE set their lips in an even
SMILE and go about their work, in the hope that
their mate will day be strong again and that
the little nest will not be total wreck after ALL
We know such little woman and her story,
although she does not know we know. Frequently
we see her waiting for her car, always looking
straight ahead--very straight ahead. No idle side

THE PUBLIC DEFENDER.

A bill providing for a public defender for Den

capital Sunday night.
This system of safeguarding the legal rights Of
persons brought before the courts criminal

tration of human justice.
The law throws around every defendant GER
tain basic and inalienable guarantees Among these
are the right to counsel the right to trial by
jury of his peers the right to acquittal in case
the prosecution fails to prove him guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt" the right to face his accusers
and either personally through counsel, to cross
examine them while they under OATH and,
sunder certain conditions, the right of appeal,

experienced lawyers try to dodge such appoint

~ hope so, too" spoke Toodle,
do you want a taste of my
lollypop, Uncle Wiggily?"
"Thank you! I'll wait until your

it, using molasses, sugar and other
good things.
SO the bunny gentleman and
Toodle travelled along together

Cat with his stubby tail. They
hoped they were going to keep out
of his sight, but when Uncle Wig
gily was almost at his hollow
stump bungalow, and Toodle was
eating away at his spearmint lolly-

Bob Cat himself.
"Ha! i want you!" cried the
Bob Cat, and he made grab for
