THE LAST DAY.

This is the last day-not of the world, but OF the
legislature Tomorrow it will be history In its closing
hours some laws will be passed. Until then it is i'm
possible to properly apprase its work
A few things, however are apparent. There has
been less lobbying than usual The threat of the Jour
nal to expose unconsconabe lobbying led to the
cancellation of reservations at Bishops Lodge and
the absence of the big mine much of the time

fax is man of unusual talents Unless he allows
corporation sympathies to grow on him, he has a
great future At times we have felt that he leaned
too much to the vested interests but he has worked
day and night with conspicuous ability. His leader

A third thing worthy of notice has been the pre-
dominant influence of the He has been able
control the legislature when he has chosen to do
so. In our judgment, he has exerted himself at
times for very worthy legislation. So far as we
know he has pressed unworthy thing, although
we strongly disagree with him his state land

that he might press harder, but perhaps not
The republican party seems to be reversing its
record of past years. Heretofore platform pledges
have little Under the white light of publicity
real effort has been made to redeem party pledges
II now appears that reasonably good record will be
made
In these closing hours of the legislators
should through pending bills to that nothing
worthy of passage and of public Importance, is for
gotten.
The conduct of the minority has been worthy of
comment. These men, in both houses, adopted the
policy of aiding the governor in passing the legisa-
ton which he had promised to the people. They
have placed patriotism above craftsmanship and have
sought the best interests of the state.
Altogether this has been the best legislature in
the history of the state. We have criticized and goad
ed in order to stimulate action, is some instances
with good effect
The Journal has been to great pains and
pense in order to the people with news during
the session. No similar service has ever been seen
in New Mexico. We hope our efforts have been
appreciated by readers.
