right I would like to say one thing more:
1t is a good thing to know that we have
the right man in the right place in the
person of Mayor Jones. He has true pluck
He made promises which he did not forget,
and which he is not afraid to keep. L
hear from men on all sides expressions of
admiration for the sturdy courage and
persistence of Mayor Jones'"

GOOD WILL RESULT.
Ministers Who Have Followed the
Senatorial Investigation Closely
Speak of Expected Results


The ministers of the city have given
much attention to the developments in the
senatorial police investigation and have
followed the hearing from the first to the
close. Probably no other people in the
city have studied the developments closer
than they. They are generally of the opin-
ion that good results will come to the city
form the investigation, that the lax en-
forcement of the law and the expose of it
at the hearing will serve to make other
officers more vigilant and faithful and that
the interests of society and the general
public will be better protected Speaking
of the results that are to follow the hear
ing, Rev. DR.. Henry Hopkins, pastor of the
First Congregational church, who has Civ

THE TMRRIToRIAL FAIR.

The Time FIR holding the Territorial
fair at Albuquerque is rapidly approach
ing. II is a good thing for the people
to come together on such occasions,
after the pushing work Of the season il
over, and enc old acquaintance and
compare notes. Every bJdy and his
neighbor are usually there, or at least
ought to be-with best bib and tucker,
and the fair should be o picnic for
them in the literal as well as the slangy
sense. The friendly rivalry stimulated
by the premiums brings out many a
specimen of ~housewifely skill, together
with portly porkers too fat to grunt,
sleek cows and housekeeping horses
with satiny coats. There the NAM
moth pumpkin swells its golden sides
with opulent pride, and huge potatoes
look with bulgiDg eyes on spectators,
giving stare for stare.
The social side of the Territorial fair
is one Of its greatest and best features.
Long and widely separated relatives
and friends meet perhaps for the first
time in a year. The politician puts on
his blandest smile and shakes hands
with everybody three or four times a
day. Beaux and bellies watch the races
or wander among the various exhibits,
chewing gum in unison or enthralled
with the spell of loves young .dream.
The children are wholly ubiquitous aad
take in everything at once, from the
merry-go-round to the prevalent and
vociferous popcorn or peanut man,
while Y all Is heard the voice OF the

by offering him with captivating gener-
osIty something for nothing.
