formed and called the Towards. They
sacrificed their lives to care for the

Catholics and Jews volunteered
their services in this noble work.

Internal Revenue Stamps.

An important decision from
Washington on matter which had
been referred to the treasury depart
ment was recently received. The First
National bank at Albuquerque. in be
half of an Albuquerque merchant, had
asked Revenue Collector Morrison
whether the United States government
would redeem the unused revenue
stamps that the merchant had printed
in his check book, as:he had gone out
OF business, and had no further use
for the check book. The treasury de-
partment replied that stamps printed on
checks, draftsKor any other document
would not be redeemed by the govern
that if a stamp is once cancelled 1t can
not be used again, although the docu-
ment on which it had been original
ly placed had not been used and was
void.

Editor of the HERALD: Another
municipal campaign is on us and 1t
seems a fitting time TO call the atten-
ton of our good citizens to some facts
and endesvor to have such action as
will tend to bring about such an adj
ministration as our present prospects
show are needed.
Many of our thoughtful people are
not backward in expressing themselves
as to what should be done but fail to
realise that the democratic admins
tratiOn Is and has been dominated
and controlled for years past in such q
way that even loyal democrats are dis
gusted.
Look at the difference in the policy
pursued by them for years past and see
what contrast with the trend of
all platforms throughout the coun-
try.
No honest man can fail to acknowl-
edge that in all our large cities public
opinion demands municipal ownership
and control of especially the water
and light propositions. There can be
no question as to the attitude of our
own people especially as to the water
question. Had an honest consistent
effort been made no one doubts that to-
day we would have had our own water
system, but the manner in which this
proposition has been handled shows a
deliberate and will planned purpose to
defeat the measure in absolute def
ance of the expressed wish of the peo-
pie.
Is it not time to make an effort to
bring about change? Can we hope

The Angels" Fail to Appear for Three
Games with the 1IarOons Here
GoOdland was to have three days of
ball playing Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday Of this week, but after
faithfuuying promising to come up for
three games with the MarOons the
Colby team violated the agreement and
did not show up, even failing to send
any word that they were not coming
until late Monday afternoon.
Colby and GOOdIand both advertised
tournaments for the second and third
week in September respectively, and
as no other teams entered for the
Colby games the MarOons went down
with nine men, including the manager,
mascot, property man and several fans,
to help Colby out with their tourna-
ment, the Colby team promising faith
fully to help GoodIand out by coming
up here the next week. OF course
Colby was true to their promise, they
always are, and managed to send word
by four o'clock Monday afternoon that
they we're not coming.
The MarOons had expended some
time and money in advertising and fix
ing up the grounds and are necessarily
somewhat out of pocket by the honest
methods of the gentlemanly Colby
ball team.
