THE TERRITORIAL
COURT CLOSED
FORMALLY
AFTER SIXTY YEARS QF EXIST
ENCE SUPREME TRIBUNAL
GIVES WAY TO NEW.
The Santa Fe New Mexicon contains
the following account of the dissolu
tion of the old territorial supreme
court and the organization of its suc
cessor, which occurred Wednesday
night in the Ancient capital:
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The honorable
supreme court of the territory of New
Mexico is adjourned sine die." With
these words spoken by lreno Chaves,
deputy United States marshal, the
court which existed for sixty years,
closed its records and passed away
forever.
The impressive ceremony of swear
ing in the new supreme court of the
State of New Mexico drew a large
crowd last night to the supreme court
room in the capitol. Shortly before
the judges of the territorial supreme
court took their places on the bench,
the judges-elect cast losts, which gave
them the following classification, ac
cording to length of term: Clarence J.
Robertst, the short term of five years,
Richard H. Hanna, seven years, and
Prank W. Parker, the long term of
nine years. Judge Roberts having
drawn the short term was thereby
mada chief justice. The respective
terms were written on slips of paper
which were tossed into a hat. Judge
Hanna drew first, Judge Parker next
and Judge Roberts last.
At 8:30: o'clock, the judges of the
territorial supreme court took their
places on the bench with John R,
McFie presiding in the place of Chief
Justice William H. Pope who is ab
sent at Washington, I). C. This ar
rangement was a fitting compliment
to Judge McFie in recognition of his
18 years of service on the supreme
bench of the territory. Resides Judge
McFie, Frank W. Parker, Edward R.
Wright and Clarence J. Roberts', asso
ciate justices were present. William
H. Pope, chief justice, Ira A. Abbott
and Merritt C. Meachem, associate jus
tices ere absent.
After the opening of the court,
Judge McFie spoke briefly and in ap
propriate terms of the record of the
old court and of his gratification that
the old regime had given place to a
newer and a more popular one. After
nremffi s of the territorial court at
their inability to attend, in part he
said:
Existed Sixty Years.
"The territorial supreme court of
New Mexico has existed for sixty
years but it meets tonight in final ses
sion. In a few minutes its record will
be closed and it will adjourn sine die.
The members of the court about to
pass away are gratified that popular
government has come to the territory.
They give place to a state court which
the retiring court welcomes and
wishes well.
"The territorial supreme court has
always stood high in the estimation
of the supreme court of the United
States. Few of Its decisions have
been reversed by the United States
supreme court. Judge Henry B.
Brown, of the supreme court of the
United States, once said, at a dinner
given in the house of L. Bradford
Prince, ex-governor of the territory,
that New Mexico was to be congrat
ulated on the work accomplished by
Its appellate court."
In closing, Judge McFie extended
the congratulations of the retiring
judges to their worthy successors and
wished them success in the adminis
tration of justice in the new state.
Oath Administered.
At the close of the remarks. Judge
McFie called on the judges-elect to
take their places before the bar and
the oath was administered. Judge
Roberts stood in the center wlth
Judge Hanna and Judge Parker to the
right and left respectively. The oath
was repeated in concert. The final
minutes of the territorial court were
then read and approved and the mem
bers of the retiring court filed out
and the members qf the new state
supreme court took their, places on
the bench.
The first session of the new court
was then opened by Supreme Court
Clerk Jose D. Sena, he being chosen
again, and John R. McFie, Jr., being
selected for bailiff. The court then
took a recess until 10 o'clock a. m.
January 17.
Final Entry.
The final entry in the record book
of the territorial supreme court
reads as follows:
"Third day, Wednesday, January
10, A. D., 1912. The court met pur
suant to adjournment. Present:
Hon. John R. McFie; Hon. Frank W.
Parker; Hon. Edward R. Wright; Hon.
Clarence J. Roberts. Minutes of
Thursday, January 4, were read and
approved.
"Associate Justice John R. McFie,
BACK HOVERED WITH
OF
Burned and Itched So He Could Hardly
Stand it. Tried Medicines, Etc.,
Nearly3Years. In Eternal Misery.
Started Using Cuticura Remedies.
Now Has NoSignof Skin Disease.
"My troubles began along In the summer
In the hottest weatner and took the form of
small eruptions and itching and a kind of
smarting pain. It took me mostly all over
my back and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of pimples
which would burn and itch at night so that
I could hardly stand it. This condition
kept getting worse and worse until my back
was a solid mass of big sores which would
break open and run. My underclothing
would be a clot of blood.
"I tried various blood medicines and other
remedies and salves tor nearly three years
and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed
I was in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean back on a chair. I was
finally given a set of the Cuticura Rem
edies by my brother who recommended them
to me very highly. I started using the
Cutirura Remedies and inside of two weeks
I could see and feel a great relief. I kept
on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also
the Resolvent, and in about three or four
months' time my back was nearly cured and
I felt like a new being. Now I am in good
health and no sign of any skin diseases
and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rem
edies are the best ever made for skin diseases.
I will always recommend them to any
body who will use according to directions.
I woiil l not be without them." (Signed)
W. A. Armstrong, Corbin, Kan., May 26, 1911.
For more than a general ion Cuticura Soap
and Ointment have afforded the most eco
nomical treatment for affections of the skin
and scalp of infants, children and adults.
Although sold by druggists and dealers
throughout the world, a liberal sample of
each, with 32-p. hook on the skin, will be
sent free, on application to Potter Drug A
Chem. Coru.. Dept. '7A, Boston.
after making some appropriate re
marks, administered the oath of of
five to the newly elected justices of
the supreme court of the state of
New Mexico, Hon. Clarence J. Rob
erts, Hon. Richard H. Hanna ana Hon
Fiank W. Parker. It is ordered that
the court do now adjourn sine die."
The signature of John R. McFie, as
sociate justice, follows.
Supreme Court Reporter.
There are at present 24 cases on
the calendar for the new court and
the court proposes to sit three days a
week to hear motions and arguments
and to devote the other three days to
consultation and writing of opinions.
Judge E. R. Wright will probably be
chosen supreme court reporter and it
is expected that the first state legisla
ture will make the remuneration for
this office more adequate than it has
been in the past. Judge Parker ex
pects to remain a resident of Las Cru
ces until next winter, and Chief Jus
tice Roberts of Raton until August of
this year.

Managing
Willie
"I was over at Mrs. Kershaw's the
other day," said the woman with the
little boy who was calling on her next
door neighbor, "and I must say that
she has changed of late years! Why,
when I knew her as a girl she had
such ability and was such a manager
and you ought to see the way that
house is run and the perfectly dread
ful way she has with her children!
"I don't believe in the old fashioned
way of frightening children to pieces
and making them obey you because
they are afraid. I never have the
least trouble with my Willie, because
t treat him like a human being. Darl
ing, don't handle the fern, for Mrs.
Janes may not like It. Everybody
Isn't like mother, who understands
how Interested little boys are in na
ture. Stop bending the leaf, dearest
oh, now, see! You've broken the whole
stalk off! There, Willie, you see
what happens when you don't obey
mother!
"It's perfectly wonderful, Mrs. Janes,
the reasoning power displayed by that
child! You wouldn't think it, but he
understands cause and effect perfect
ly. He bent the leaf and It broke
an act and a result, you see. Willie,
why did you break all those other
leaves, too? Oh, so the plant would
be even all around! Now, did you
ever hear anything cleverer than that,
Mrs. Janes? Willie has such an eye
for form. I am sure he is going to be
something wonderful, areu't you? I
always believe in encouraging a child
when he shows any signs of develop
ing a particular faculty.
'There! Willie is investigating your
cuckoo clock now. He has a passion
for finding out the reason for things.
Willie, darling, you mustn't swing on
the weights of the clock, you really
mustn't.
"There! What did mother tell you?
You swung on the weights and now
you've pulled the whole clock down
off the wall! You are likely to give
people headaches when you make a
big noise like that. Every one hasn't
the perfect control of her nerves that
mother has.
"There's everything in control, don't
you think so, Mrs. Janes? I never al
low any external fact to upset me.
Qh, is the clock broken? Well, I
don't believe It Is a very bad break
and a clever clock man can easily
3h, you say you brought it from Swit
zerland and It has a complicated for
eign mechanism? Well, it does seem
to me that Americans ought to be
able to find enough goods manufactur
ed" In this country wilh3ut encourag
ing anarchists and paupers abroad.
I've often heard my husband talk
about political affairs, so I suppose I
am better informed than most women.
"The way Mrs. Kershaw lets her
children run over her is perfectly
dreadful. She didn't seem to have the
least control of them at all. I
"Willie, you must't scratch the pi
ano with that pin. Mother means what
she says, darling, and I expect you to
abey. Not another scratch after that
one you are making! I've no doubt
if your furniture polish is the right
kind, Mrs. Janes, it will rub the
scratches out perfectly and, anyhow,
they are such delicate ones. Willie
has such a dainty touch with every
thing that sometimes I think he is go
ing to be an artist.
"Why, Wil 1-1-e-e-e! Didn't you
hear me say not another scratch? And
you've made at least six more! Now,
simply will not be disobeyed that
way and you may go sit in the green
velvet chair. Climb back and sit
there! You see, Mrs. Janes, I always
punish promptly when Willie doesn't
mind me.
"If you had children yourself you'd
understand how it warms a mother's
heart to feel the little things depend
ing on one and taking one's word as
gospel law. Why, Willie would no
sooner think of going contrary to my
wishes than he would think of flying,
would you, dear?
"My goodness, where is Willie? He
Isn't in the green velvet chair. You
haven't a cellar door or anything open,
have you, Mrs. Janes, that he might
fall down? I can't understand oh,
you say he is on the other side of the
piano scratching it with another pin?
"Willie, come here at once! Don't
you know you grieve mother terribly
when she finds that she can't trust
you? Oh, you say you wanted to see
if a black pin would make the same
kind of a scratch as a white one! Did
you ever that investigating mind
again! It makes me feel terribly re
sponsible, Mrs. Janes, to think that
It rests with me whether that shall all
be mistakenly crushed out or en
couraged. "I've so enjoyed this little visit with
you it rests one to get a change from
one's usual thoughts, you know. Come
over soon it will brighten you up and
interest you to be where there is a
child, and Willie is such a lovable lit
tle fellow.
"Kiss Mrs. Janes, darling. Why,
what are you sticking out your tongue
for? You say because you hate her?
Oh, Willie, it is wrong to hate any
one! Hasn't he a cunning, pink little
tongue, Mrs. Janes?
"Some day when I'm going out I'll
let you take him and keep him for a
whole afternoon!"

WHY IT PAYS TO BUY
ADVERTISED GOODS
Because the advertiser has done something to inspire confidence .
He has not only explained the value and usefulness of his prod
uct, but has put his personality and reputation behind his
statements.
He can be trusted because his very business existence is at stake
He believes in his goods to the extent of investing his capital, not
only in making the goods right, but in advertising, which
will not prove permanently profitable if he fails to make
good secure repeat orders.
The advertising is not only a protection to the trade name, but it
is the advertiser's guarantee of quality.
You are justified in being suspicious of unadvertised goods, be
cause, however much confidence the dealer or manufacturer
may have in them, he has not enough faith in them to spend
money in telling others of their goodness.
