Alcohol
- (2/23/23) Editorial: The Gun Toter - He's a menace to any community and almost invariably a coward. There is a law against carrying a six shooter in New Mexico, but in this particular section of the state no attention is paid to it. Quite a few of our "brave" young Americans in this locality seem to be of the opinion that they are real men when they attend local dances with a six shooter in one hip pocket and a bottle of "nubbin juice" in the other. About the best and quickest way of changing their opinions would be the prompt application of as heavy a fine as the law allows on each and every gun toter brought before the courts and our city officials should be charged to round up the offenders, regardless of rank or station.
