EFFECTS OF
SUNDAY CLOSING

From past records, the heaviest
docket on the police court was al
most invariably on Monday morning,
being an accumulation Of the Satur
day and Sunday night jags. This
morning for the first time In many
months. Judge Crawford opened court
to an empty house-that is. there was
not a victim confined In the city bas.
tile charged with engaging In "a car.
.ousal on Sunday.
The cause Of this unusual state of
affairs was Of course on account of
Sheriff Armijo's sweeping order that
no liquor should be sold on Sunday
in Bernalillo county. Although yester.
day was the first day that the lid
has been on tight In Albuquerque. the
good results could be no more plainly
evidenced than they were in police
court this morning.
Albuquerque is rapidly falling in
line with the leading cities Of the
GOutlly. WuNu tuC SutODIiS UIC iIdue
to observe the Sunday law. Accord.
ing to the leading district attorneys
Of the United States. the results Of
Sunday closing are manifold. Three
fourths Of the police court business Of
the country at large Is from the Sat
urday night and Sunday drunk. who
draws his pay the last Of the week.
and then proceeds to blow" 1t before
Monday. The result Is that he is run
In for drunkenness. and fails TO show
up for work Monday morning, and
loses his job. or he spends all Of his
wage and his wife and children are
the sufferers.
That the enforcement Of the Sunday
law and the benefits as a result, are
very great, is therefore evident.-Al
buquerjue Citizen.

LETTER FROM
PROF. HADLEY
TO County Superintendent.

To County Superintendent.
Under the fear that In some cases
there Is too great leniency In grant
ing excuses for no~n-attendance of the
i%nstitute. to those who desire to teach,
| wish to urge all county superintend-
ents TO be very conservative In thar
matter. I here duplicate a letter that
wrote to a county superintendent In
answer TO some questions that he
asked me. Very truly yours.
Sup. Pub. lnstruc.
DIR. Carl Iefforge.
County superintendent Of Schools,
Colfax county.
Dear Sir.-You ask me the following
questions:
I. Does the law require teachers to
attend the institute the full two
weeks
2. What is a proper excuse for
non-attendance?
3. Is the excuse. II did not know
| the date" a valid one?
4. Suppose a teacher has the
| promise OF a school but fails to quail
ify, what Is the proper course to pnr-
sue.
/ will endeavor TO reply to these
as a whole.
The law provides for Institutes for
the purpose OF improving the schools
II expects all who teach to attend in
good faith. gain some things them.
selves, and contribute what they can
to the success OF the institute. Henc >.
II means that they are 10 attend the
full time. or course. county superin.
tendents win be reasonable and make
allowances for absence a portion OF
the time, when convinced that 1t was
necessary and the teacher Is honestly
doing the best he can to attend.
A proper excuse for non-attendance
Is difficult to itemize: personal sick
ness or that of some member OF the
family Is a good excuse. Being 9th
erwise employed. or having other
work to do Is no excuse. A stranger
who comes to the territory after the
institute has been held, II otherwise
we'll qualified, may reasonably be OK
cused. did not know the date is
no excuse. The superintendent gives
public notice. and 1t is the business
Of prospective teachers 10 inform
themselves as to date and other re-
qnirements. II applicant is not a
legally qualified teacher, although
re has been promised a school, he
can not be employed. The board OF
directors should look elsewhere.
This law is a good one: II county
superintendents wish their schools to

No Poison in Chamberlain Cough
Remedy.

From Napier, New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
OF New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made Of all the cough
medicines that were sold In that mar.
ket. Out OF the entire list they found
only n that they declared was en-
tirely free from all poisons. This ex.
ception was Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, made by the Chamberlain
Medicine company, Des Moines, Ia, U.
s. A. The absence Of all narcotics
makes this remedy the safest and best
that can be had; and 1t Is with a feel
ing Of security that any mother can
give 1t to her little ones. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is especially re-
commended by its makers for coughs,
colds, Group and w~hooping cough.
This remedy is for sale by all drug
gists.

cession forms part OF a ceremonial,
In academic affairs, at college com.
ncncements and all occasions where
educational institutions and interests
are promoted. the custom Is now gen.
eral that the absence OF the doctors
hood Is more noticeable than Its pres.
ence.
Mindful OF these facts, and know
ing that you have long held the de.
gree OF doctor OF divinity from Mari
eta college, whose reputation for
sound scholarship stands very high,
some of your friends have thought
that It might not be inappropriate or
unacceptable for them to present to
you the hood and cap properly show
ing the colors of that college. In or
der to be perfectly correct, we cor
responded with President Perry, and
| hold here his letter, In which, after
stating that the college colors are
navy blue and white, and are regis
tered with Cotrell & Leonard. he
adds. 4 am very glad that the bishop
is to have a suitable hood, and | wish
could see him wear It,
"While the smallness Of the gift
did not permit many actually to par
ticipate in procuring 1t, yet In max
ing this presentation I feel that | can
truthfully say that it carries with 1t
the esteem, the affection and the love
Of all your people,"
The Bishop made a very touching
and appropriate response, in which
he said that he would principally prize
the gift as an expression Of the good
will Of the people.
The hood Is a beautiful piece OF
workmanship. made by Cotrell 4
Leonard, who are the authorities on
all such matters. The ecclesiastic
color is scarlet, just as the doctors OF
law wear purple. those of medicine,
green, and those of philosophy, blue.
In this case, the scarlet border is OF
rich velvet, and on the liningAwhich
shows the college colors, blue and
white, they are arranged in a chevron
form. which is very effective. The
cap has a gold tassel, to which all
holding the degree of doctor are en-
|titltd.
The presentation was a complete
surprise to all those present. and was
a very pleasing feature of the even.
ing's entertainment 1t is understood
that the donors included friends of
the bishop In Santa Fe, Albuquerque,
Las Vegas. Silver City, Ell Paso and
Prescott, thus representing all sec
tions of his jurisdiction.
Before this time, the only academic
hood in New Mexico has been that Of
Hon. l.. B. Prince, as doctor Of laws
of Kenyon and Colorado colleges.
