system has led to 4 result that las
aroused the indignation of the people.
Yes, the police are to be blamed, but
the people are to be blamed ten times
as much.
And Albuquerque people are deliber.
ately violating another law. The ter
ritorial statutes insist that saloons
and gambling houses must be closed
Sundays. No city has a right to abro-
gate such a law. The great city of
St Louis Is opposed to the closing of
Its pool selling rooms.
But the state laws say they are ille-
gal and the governor Is using all the
machinery at his command to enforce
those laws.

corrupt cities of the United States.
Proud Albuquerque must be of her

good business sense and Tue regard
Tor their future they show in other
matters TO insist on the enforcement
of their laws. Now that they are agi-

not fail to root out also their other
