This has been literally Labor day in
the New MEXICAN establishment as the
large force of printers, pressmen, book
binders and writer's has been hard at
work as usual, the day when daily papers
can afford to suspend publication on

erons back numbers of the unrecallable
past. However, the banks and most of
the federal and territorial offices were
closed in recognition that this is really a
National holiday, tittingly proclaimed as
such by both the president of the United

LIBERAL CONSTRUCTION.
Auditor Garcia will he COntented If
County Assessment Rolls Are in
His Stands This Week.

Auditor Garcia reports that he has re.
ceived the complete assessment rolls
from the counties of San Juan, Union
Rio Arriba, Chaves, Taos, Sierra and Col.
fax. Assessor Hudson of Santa Fe coun.
ty, made tender of the assessment roll
of this county, with the explanation that
the work could not be passed upon by the
county commissioners, as required by
law, until the meeting Of the board this
afternoon. Thereupon the auditor told
him to hold the document until after such
meeting.
The auditor also reports that he has
received kilograms from the assessors of
four other counties announcing that their
rolls will reach his Office today or tomor.
row and he has no doubt that all of the
assessors will have their rolls here before
the week ends.
1t appears that the law in the premises
Is somewhat conflicting. One section
des'gnates the second Monday in Septem-
Der as the time for the meeting of the
territorial board of equalization and an
other requires county assessors To file
their assessment rolls with the auditor on
the first Monday in September. mas
much as these rolls will not be impe
lively needed until the meeting of the
territorial board of equalization on next
Monday, Auditor Garcia has concluded
to place as liberal construction upon
the law as possible and will make no
complaint if all the rolls are in his hands
before his Office closes on next Saturday
especially as he is conscious
mat several assessors are merely await
ing approval OF their work by the county
commissioners today or tomorrow.

The New Mexico horticultural fair will
be formally opened to the public at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning in the large
two-story, red building on the Fort Marcy
reservation formerly used as a storage
warehouse by the quartermaster and COM
missary of the United States army.
The building is large, commodious and
well adapted to the purpose. 1t is
reached through the double gates nearly
opposite the Palace hotel.
NEW MEx1JAN scribe called there this
forenoon and found the ladies of the
Woman's board of trade busily engaged
witha number of assistants in the i'm
portant and congenial work of decorat-
ing the interior of the building with
profusion of red, white and blue bunting,
evergreens and flowers. The work had
proceeded far enough TO satisfy the re-
porter that it would be very tasteful and
attractive.
The carload Of exhibits from the Pecos
valley, including sugar beets, fruits, mel
ons and other products of that region,
reached Santa Fe last night from the
south in charge of Mr.. Robert Kallahin
ano VIM. II Jones. These gentlemen are
now actively engaged ia unpacking and
arranging their exhibits in the places
assigned. They brought their own furni-
ture and many of their fruits are in glass
jars similar to those used at the Worlds
fair. This display promises to be very
fine.
A number of other outside exhibits
came in last night and many more are
expected this afternoon and tonight.
1t is hoped that local exhibitors will
hasten forward the fruits, flowers and
vegetables that they contemplate display
ing. Certainly the people of Santa
should do all in their power to make the
fair complete success.

Mr.. Holman was born in Dearborn County,
Ind, in 1922. His Congressional career began
with the Seth Congress. and out Of the 20 Con-
crosses that have elapsed since that time he
has been absent irons only four; namely, tho
39th. 45th, doth. and 54th. 1t WAS ono of the
strong points Of Dir. Holman. that in his long
Cong ressional career he RETAINED entirely from
personalities. and consequently had few per-
sonal enemies.
In politics Mr.. Holman was long Dem
ocrat. At the breaking out of the civil war no
supported tho measures Of President Lincoln
for tho preservation of the Union. and was
classed among the war Democrats. lie was a
great student Of the life and writings of Thomas
Jefferson, and was close follower OF the pre-
cepts Of the illustrious founder Of Democracy
in his own official acts.
He was counted among the soldiers friends.
His heart and sympatbies were ever with the
masses. and the jealous care with which he
watched over their interests exposed him to no
little criticism. His strenuous objections to
every proposition which savored in the slight
| est degree of schemsng or extravaganza won for
| him the sobriqnets OF Great Objector," and
Watch Dog of the Treasury" He was &C.
cused OF demagogism, but never Of dishonesty,
aud later even mis- opponents found out that
his objections were not made to catch popular
approval so much as they came from an honest
| conviction that il WAS wrong to make extraya.

16 terms in the House of Representatives. In
all. 81 years of his life was spent in some pub
lie capacity, beginning with judicial position
in his native State, and winding up in the
House of Representatives which he first en-.
tered in the Both Congress.
