Following the storm ofsunday, yes

dent with this calm came the an.
nouucement that during the day every
Transit line had been operated, not
even excepting the Southwestern, on
which 90 much trouble had been ex.
pected after its month OF idleness,
Whether 1t came ~ one Of the results
Of the deplorable scenes Of Sunday or
Washington avenue or not the day
was most welcome TO citizens anc
peace.oficers alike. During the day
and the evening no disturbances wers
reported aside from minor affairs
which, In the light of recent events
seemed almost unnoticeable. During
the evening q number of lines vert
operated up TO 10 o'clock will
lighter guard than at any time.
For the fret time since the begin

TEE Mexico LEDGER took an active

81 which viii net the city from
$500 to $4,000 per year and 81 the
sans time give Just n good, If not
better service. We want hrst-oIass
officials and, Of course, they cannot
be had unless they r paid fair
prices. We want city officials who
win do their duty and earn their
salsEy, whether large or small. We
want city officials to feel that they are
employed 10 serve the whole people
and not ''toa6y'' TO some one man,
faction or interest. We want city
officials who viii fearIessly DO their
duty and not protect the lhw-bFesk-
era simply to gel votes for themselves
OF their friends. We want city OH
oIzls In Mexico who feel that public
oaice lie : public trust-men who viii

We cannot secnre such men 1t 9 re-
