THE PROCESS OF LAW-MAKING.

Most of the legislatures forty eight states are
now in session. and some fearful and wonderful at
tempts at law making offered to public view.
No concern of daily life is so intimate but that
one wants it regulated by law. The freak
bills, however laughed out of sight Others
of dangerous character read very innocently
the surface. Examination and investigation shows
that they offered to meet the needs of some
private interest and they would be injury to the
general public.
A competent examination Of all these PROPOSE
lions is not an easy task. The range of subjects
covered by the requests for law-making is so
wide, that each proposition must be submitted to
small group delegated to study that class of sub
jects.
The results of legislatures work depend very
largely the quality of service rendered by COM
mttees. And good committee work is often spoiled
by the poor attendance of members. The man who
is given the responsibility and honor of making
laws for the state of New Mexico should attend
every session of each committee which he is
appointed. He ought to spend much time in person.

tors may think the public does not appreciate This
faithful service, and is more attracted to tonguey
politicians who shake hands much and think little
But good thorough work tells. The legislator who

REPUBLICAN ASCENDENCY.

This country normally Republican for a
period of fortyseVen years following the Civil war
Twice democratic president elected during
this period But during President Cleveand's first
term, the republicans controlled the senate all the
time During Mr.. Cleveland's second term, the
democrats had congress but two years. Thus during
only two years out Of forty -seven, have the demo-
cratic party had complete control of the govern
ment.
There must have been some reason for this
astonishing showing. There always reactions in
politics, and popular sentiment is constantly turn
ing against those in power One would think that at
many of these elections, popular dissatisfaction with
republican mistakes would have let in the demo-
Gratis for occasional periods.
But for some reason other, the democratic
party with the brief exceptions noted has been held
down as a minority party in its forty
eighth year Of exile merely because the republicans

were split in two. 1t had little more than third
of the popular vote. And it won again in 1916 by
the thinnest kind of a squeak, on the bunk plea
that the president kept us out of war"
If popular government is success, and the peo-
pie are competent to choose their own rulers the
fact Of this striking preference for the republican
party must prove that party's superior fitness to
rule 1t has met the tests of experience. AS a mat
ter of practical life its representatives have shown
better Judgment, more sound sense, more business
competence than their opponents. You can't ac-
count for it in any other way.
If the republican party handles Alright the pres
ent national situation it should maintain this con-
troll for long term of years. 1t has certainly made
a good start.

"ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL"

Fred Harvey's offer to abandon his plans for the
enlargement of the Alyarado hotel and the hotel
committees refusal of it, worthy of the men
involved
No really big business man like Mr.. Harvey
would try to build a hotel or a shanty when pub
lie sentiment against it.
No progressive boosters like the men back of
the hotel drive would interfere with any plans for
the upbuilding of their city, even though they
not directly connected with such plans.
Mr. Harvey realizes that the good will of the
people of Albuquerque-he has it's worth to him
more than any additional bricks on the walls of
the Alvarado.
The hotel boosters realize that any addition to
the handsome Alvarado building is addition to
the city of Albuquerque and therefore rebounds to
the benefit of themselves and their fellow citizens
This the spirit of the Three NTusketeers This
is the spirit of any group of progressive men. This
is the spirit of Greater Albuquerque.

I've trudged fe's highway UP and down,
I've watched the lines of men march by
I've seen them in the busy town,
And seen them under country sky;
I've talked with toilers in the ranks,
And walked with men whose hands were white,
And learned when closed were stores and banks,
We're nearly all alike at night. ~.
Just find the wise professor when
He isn't lost in ancient lore
And he, like many other men,
Romps with his children on the floor;
He puts his gravity aside
To share in innocent delight. .-.a
Stripped of positions pomp and pride.
We're nearly all the same at night.
Serving common cause we go
Unto our separate tasks by day,
And rich or poor great or low,
Regardless of their place or pay
Cherish the common dreams of men
A home where love and peace unite
We serve the self -same end and plan,
We're all alike when it is night.
Each for his loved ones wants to do
His utmost. Brothers we all,
When we have run the work day through,
In romping with children SMALL
Rich men and poor delight in play
When care and caste have taken flight,
At home, in all we think and say

himself.
But he knew it could be nothing
like that, though when he tried
once more, to hitch along, he
found himself still held fast.
"Oh, L know what it must be!''
whispered the bunny gentleman.

the bunny.
There was no answer and once

himself along. But he couldn't! He

Potato Puffs: One cup mashed
potato, IA cup milk, l egg, salt

yolks left over after making cake
frosting with the whites, for soups.
| The following Onion Soup calls for
two yolks and is delicious: Two
pints water, / 12 pint milk, 3
| Spanish onions, 1-2 turnip, 2
strips celery, l ounce butter, l
ounce flour, yolks of 2 eggs salt,
pepper, a bay leaf and a blade of
mace. Cut turnip and celery into
small pieces, peel and dice the on
ions, and put these vegetables with
2 pints of boiling water into a
sauce pan together with the bay
leaf, the mace, salt and pepper;
let simmer until all ingredients are
tender (this will be about L
hour). Rub through a sieve, re-
turn to fire, add the milk and
when boiling stir in the flour and
butter which you have previously
rubbed well together. Let simmer
a few minutes longer, then let the
soup cool slightly; beat the egg
yolks with a little milk, pour them
into the soup, and stir until thick.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
RUG.
BY Howard r. CARTS.

"Here is the hammer, Uncle
| Wiggily," said the muskrat lady
housckeeper, coming into the room
where the bunny rabbit gentle
| man was reading his cabbage leaf
| newspaper one morning.
Yes, ! see it," spoke Mr.. Long
ears, as Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy laid the
| hammer on a shelf of the hollow
stump bungalow. "Do you want
me to crack some nuts and make
molasses taffy?"
"And here are the tacks," went
on Nurse Jane, as she placed a
paper of the sharp pointed carpet
stickers beside the hammer. ..
Surely you don't want me to
put them in any candyw laughed
the bunny gentleman, twinkling his
| pink nose like a piece of cherry
pie. --......
"Of course not" said Nurse
Jane. 81 have brought you the
hammer and lacks, Uncle Wiggily
at least l mean to say the ham,
mer and tacks-so you may fasten
down the parlor rug. 1t is loose at
the edges, and have tripped over
| it several times, and nearly fallen"
"Then surely that rug must be
tackled down." spoke Uncle Wig
| gily, laying aside his cabbage leaf
newspaper. "I'll do it right away"
! "And while you're doing that"
said Nurse Jane, "I'll hop over to
1.-THE five and ten cent store, and get
you something nice for your din
ner."
| "That will be fine!" said the
bunny uncle. So he twinkled his
mink nose once or twice and then,
putting on his old, long linen dust
err. that he often wore when he
rode in his automobile, Uncle Wig
gily started to tack down the rug.
There was no one in the parlor
of the hollow stump bungalow, as
the bunny rabbit gentleman went
in that room. 1t was pleasant
room, but seldom used in the
winter. On the floor was the
rug.
Eyes, it does kick up" said I'm
Gle Wiggily, as his own paws
caught in the edge so that he
nearly fell. mo wonder Nurse
Jane wants it tackled down! I'll
fasten it at all the corners and in
| the middle of the edges, then
Nurse Jane will never trip again"
Whistling q jolly little tune,
and giving his pink nose an extra
twinkle or two, Uncle Wiggily sat
down on the floor with the ham
mer and paper of tacks and be-
gan to fasten down the rug.
ITS a little dark in here, on
account of the shutters being
closed" thought the bunny uncle.
but / guess l can see all right
to put in a few tacks."
So he hammered and pounded
away. fastening down the rug.
AS soon as Mr.. Longears had
tackled down the rug in one place,
he hitched himself along to an
other spot, moving the way your
baby brother or sister sometimes
does when learning to creep.
And then, all of a sudden, when
Uncle Wiggiiy finished driving in a.
lot of lacks and started to hitch
himself along, he couldn't move.
Not an jnch could he hitch! Think
of that! @

CAS- the People View 1t
The Game Commission Bill: What
1t Is and What 1t win DO.

The Game Commission Bill; What
1t Is and What 1t win DO.
Editor Morning Journal:
The game commission bill, now
about to go before the legislature,
should receive the careful atten-
| tion. not only of SpOrtsmen but OF
| every man, woman and child who
wants to have at least a remnant
of wild life preserved in our noun
tains. Copies of the bill may be
secured from the New Mexico
Game Protective association, Albu-
oueruue, N. M This article is mere
| ly a brief summary of the bill.
There are three main principles
in this bill:
First: The establishment of a
commission with regulatory powers
over game.
Second Responsibility of the
commission to the governor and
the public.
Third: Appointment by the com
| mission of competent game ward
en-, strictly on the ground of his
ability.
The granting of powers to a
conffAission is nothing new. The
Statg Highway commission controls
the spending of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of public money
on roads, determines what roads
are to be built, and in what way
federal cooperation is to be &C
cepted. The state Board of Health
can establish quarantine, close
schools, churches, public meetings,
etc. In federal administration the
secretary of agriculture, subject to
approval by the president, has alb
solute power to establish regula-
tons for the protection of mlgra-
tory birds.
Why are such powers delegated
by legislative bodies? Simply pc
cause legislature has not the ma
chinery to inquire minutely INTO
local conditions. 1t cannot deter
mine whether a ten mile stretch OF
road in Guadalupe county should
! or should not be built or how IL
should be built. 1t therefore leaves
these administrative details to
cononetent commission, The legis-
lature. meeting every two years, is
not in a position to determine When
and where quarantine should De
established. Likewise the leg1sla-
| ture cannot inquire eYhaustiVeiy
| into the varying conditions OF game
in various parts of the state, nor
has il the information to act speed
ily and effectively when a crisis
confronts certain species in one
or two localities.
The chief powers to be delegated
to the commission are as follows:
To establish local closed seasons
when any species in a given local
ity is threatened with undue de-
pietion. For example, the season
on deer might be closed in the
Manzano mountains, or on quail in
the middle Rio Grande valley.
To establish refugees, where game
animals may breed unmolested.
The purpose of such refugees is not
| to establish great preserves, but to
produce a surplus of game to over
| flow into surrounding hunting
grounds. ,
To close streams or portions OF
streams to fishing, so that they
may be restoCked with fish.
To establish rest grounds for mi
gratory birds, where these birds
may rest and feed without moles-
| tation.
To purchase, with any surplus
money in the fish and game fund,
lands for game refugees, and public
| hunting grounds.
The commission is specifically
| forbidden to lengthen seasons es-

SENATOR HARDING's OPEN MIND.

Observers of the work of Theodore Roosevelt as
president used to say that he made it a point to
see a great many people. He easy of access
to those who had any real message information
to impart He was anxious to get all points of view,
and the things that people told him very apt
to influence his conduct.
AS the result OF contact with all types of policy
and all view points, there was always something
practical about programs of action that he laid
out They had way of fitting average human
nature. He had learned to foresall objections, by
seeing how his ideas would strike all elements of
people, and modifying his suggestions to meet the
difficulties that pointed out to him.
II is interesting to note how similarly the pres
= ident-elect, his vacation, is going at his
work. He does not seclude himself in the re-
tirement of his study and get his ideas by inner
contemplation and by study of theoretical works on
government.
He asks all kinds of people to come and see
him. he gets their practical views about plans for
legislation, and he submits his plans to them for
criticism In that way a great many suggestions
that will not work going to be eliminated, and
the Harding program when outlined must have a
pretty close touch with the actual facts of life.
The lack of this kind of vital touch with real
life went far to wreck the administration that is
drawing to its close. With all his eloquence and
brains and scholastic gifts, President Wilson has
attempted too much to shape the policies of Amer
lea along the lines of his own personal tempera-
ment.
No one man is big enough, or has enough
of actual life, to do that successfully.
