pages for its lessons let close the book and lay
it aside with as little regret as may.
The part OF real man or woman is to courage
ousy the future without regard to the failures
of the past What has been, is beyond our control;
what is to be- is in our keeping.
There are those who do not believe in New
Years resolution. The journal is not of that num-
Der. We believe that we live our lives in epochs.
Having faced our problems for a time and labored
1t behooves us TO stop to look over our workman
ship and appraise its merits The calendar year
affords us a convenient interval to do this. Just
as we close our business books and take an in
ventory of our stocks determine profits and
losses let us also inventory year of living and
see where we stand Then let us resolve highly to
do better in the future.
To carry the maices and animosities of last year
with US into the new is to take with us excess
baggage to hinder our progress Why is not now
the proper time TO heal the old and make a
clean start? The first days of the new year may
very profitably and wisely be devoted to such a
mission. .rr' 81 .s *= -
Have we been as helpful to others the past year
ought? Will resolve upon a broader and a
unsefsh course? 1t will be for our souls
health and for peace Of mind.
Perhaps, too, need to make a new resolve as
citizens of our commonwealth. 1t may be that in
sona advantage and too little to the common well
fare. Shall seek only equality of opportunity and
a square deal in 1922
The aspiration of the Journal is to do and to
be, all of these things We wish to be the peoples
mouth piece giving uterance to your hopes and
desires. We desire to fight the battle of civic
rghteousness-and without malice.
We wish to every citizens of New Mexico a
happy and prosperous new year.

NEW MExICOs ASiERroANIsM INDICATED

The ruling of the supreme court of the state I'M
der which the sixteen Villistas pardoned by Gov
ernor Larrazoo shall have to remain in the peni-
tertiary pending their trial on fresh charges of
murder In connection with the Columbus raid is
one that will do much to reinstate New Mexico in
the eyes Of her sister states -
There Is no denying that the rest Of the
country was disappointed in New Mexico as a
result of Governor Larrazolo's pardoning of these
However high may have been the governor s
motives--and we have never questioned them---it
is an undoubted fact that severe condemnation was
hurled at the state from various parts of the
country. .-e-.. .'---..,
:. Another interesting portion Of the courts hold
ings that dealing with the international status
of the Mexcans. The highest tribunal of the state
regards them members of marauding band Of
Mexicans who killed number of our citizens with
out any conceivable cause provocation," and de-
cares that they not entitled to that consid-
Grafton protection from criminal prosecution ac-
corded members of a recognized military organ
ization."
Although this is obiter dictum--an opinion
expressed on matter not directly at issue--t is
nevertheless Illuminating. While the supreme court,
in the habeas corpus proceedings, not called
upon decide the International status of the men,
but merely whether the governor had the right to
pardon them without previous recommendation OF
nevertheless interesting to obtain the view of such
a tribunal. Nt'h.Ft E-a
The Journal was the first to contend most
vigorously that the governor erred in regarding the
vstas belligerents. entitled to protection from
criminal prosecution"
Finally, the courts ruling settles one point that
has been troubling New Mexico attorneys for some
time; namely, whether not the governors con-
stitutional pardoning power Is absolute whether
1t be restricted by legislative act. The court
has decided that the power is absolute and not
dependent on previous recommendation of the peni-
Tertiary commissioners. .
The subsequent arrest of the villistas, how
ever, at the instance of Luna county officials will
effectually detain the men until the new charges
aired in court
Thus the fair name of the state has been safe
guarded, for we feel that it would have been ser-
ously jeopardized IL the convicted murderers had
been allowed to go free.
The Journal differs with Governor Larrazolo
with regard to the wisdom of these pardons. How
ever, do not contend that he did not act in the
best of faith

1.-THE KING is DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING.

Today rings out the old and rings in the new
with governors as well as with years.
At noon today Hon. o. A. Larrazolo ceases to
govern New Mexico and in the instant Hon.
M. c. Mechem becomes our governor.
We say our because of hope and belief
that he will be the governor of all the people, al
ways alert to protect the interests of the humbest
citizen.
The Journal did not support Governor Mechem
for election but, like all good citizens 1t support
ing him now and will support him in every effort
to redeem his pledges and do service for the people
We wish Governor Mechem success in doing
what he stands committed to do.
AS Governor Larrazolo steps aside and retires to
private life we can not resist saying that it is
highly reprehensible that he has been malgned and
misrepresented as he has been by those to whom
he refused to bend the knee. If Governor Mechem
is similarly punished for independence he will either
fail to be independent his administration will be
handicapped and embittered.
The people have not been permitted to under
stand Governor Larrazolo He has his weaknesses
have the rest of but, in the MAN. he has
been good governor.
AS Mr.. Larrazolo goes out of office the people
will join the Journal in wishing him happiness and
prosperity in the years to

DRAFT ACT VIOLATORs.

1t is claimed the federal government has made
little progress in dealing with 100000 men alleged
to have violated the selectve service act With the
war 80 long over, pursuing these is a little like
paying for dead horse. Yet if lax treatment is
given to these cases now it makes bad impression
for the future.
II the misfortune of another war should come,
people would recall the fact if great number of
draft dodgers got off easy" This would not help
marshal the force of the nation for another emer-
gency Justice could have been done with much
better feeling if these cases had been pushed
through more promptly

MORE ANSWERED LETTERS.

Mrs. K.-'Please give me a rec
ipe for dark fruit cake and also
tell me what colors would go well
together in a braided wool or rag
rug"
Answer have always liked a
dark blue and light blue combina-
ton in the braided rugs; the two
blues when braided together give
an blue effect which is very
pretty. / would advise you to try
this combination. The following
recipe is an excellent and fairly
inexpensive one-that is, inexpen-
sive as a dark fruit cake can be:
Dark Fruit Cake.-One-half cup
butter, 2-3 cup brown sugar, l cup
seedless raisins, IA cup chopped
candied orange peel, 1 cup dried
currants, " cup finely chopper
citron, " cup Barbados molasses,
eggs, u cup milk. 2 cups flour,
is teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon soda,
l teaspoon ground cinnamon, "
teaspoon allspice. u teaspoon
mace, a teaspoon ground close.
and y teaspoon orange extract.
Mix the flour with the salt, soda
and spices and add all the pre-
pared fruit to it. Cream the butter
and beat in the sugar and eggs,
then the flavoring and molasses.
Now add the flour mixture alter
nately with the milk to this mix
ture. Pour into two well-greased
pans which have been lined with
thin paper. Steam l hour, then
set the pans in a slow oven for an
other hour. Keep the cake sew
eral weeks before using. Do not
ice until ready to use.
A Mother.--'You may think my
request a foolish matter and not in
your line, but i would appreciate
it so much if you would answer
my question. 1t is this: l have
often heard q little rhyme which
goes like this: Mothers darling,
Daddy's joy, Our baby boy
l would greatly appreciate your
sending me the part of this poem
which / do not know, If you hap
pen to be familiar with it.
Answer.--I am sorry to tell you
that /, too, am unfamiliar with this
little poem, but hope that if any Of
my other readers who see your let
ter printed in this column happen
to know it, they will write in to
me, giving me the complete verse,
so that l can publish it for you to
see. With you, think such sweet,
simple little poems which touch
the heart are greater than all the
classic epic poems that have ever
been written.
Reader.-"Please send me rec

WALLSTR RECT



New York, Dec. 31.-On the
stock exchange the year closed
with an active and vigorous up
ward movement, many issues MAX
ing overnight gains of two to eight
points and extreme advances of ten
to nearly twenty points'from recent
minimum prices.
The rise, which included every
important division of the list was
most noteworthy among specula-
tive industrials and specialties, rails
making relatively little progress
and easing perceptibly at the close,
Final prices of leading stocks
were one to three points under
their best, realizing sales and a
reaction in Reading which asked
for an extension of time to file its
dissolution plan, imparting some
irregularity to the last hours trad
ing. Sales amounted to 1,150,O 900
shares.
Bonds gave promise of a strong
and unusually active session. but
fell away later. although convert
ible railway issues added to recent
improvement. Liberty bonds also
We're strong. Total sales, par value,
$24, goo. Old United States
bonds were unchanged on call for
the week.
The only striking feature of the
weekly clearing house statement
was decrease of about $19,500,-
600 in actual reserves, reducing
the total excess to barely more
than 81, 100000. Reserves Of
members of the federal reserve
bank showed a contraction of near
ly $17,S00.000 and loans increased
by about sS,400,000.
