PETITION WATER COMPANY
To Erect Suitable Board Pence
Around City Reservoirs.

Acting upon the advice given
by this paper last week a num-
Der of our good people have TAX
en- active steps towards seeing
to it that our reservoirs are pro-
tected by suitable board fence.
A petition was drawn up and is
now being signed by nearly
every water user in Alamogordo
asking the water company to at
once erect a fence around the
reservoirs so as to prevent any
thing from befouling our drink
ing water.
Nearly every business man in
AlamOgOrdo and every one else
who drink water here except
two or three have endorsed our
last weeks article for the good
of sanitation that it will accom-
plish, yet this paper might print
its columns chock full of warn
ings and advice from now till
doOm's day and without the CO.
operation of our citizens we can't
accomplish anything, and we are
glad to note the interest taken
by our people who have the best
interest of Alamogordo at heart.

DOING THE RIGHT THIHG
W. E. OarmaOk and Those in Row
of Cooper Buildings, Alf G.
Watson ct al Cleaning Up.

The way to do a thing is to do
it, that being the motto of this
paper, is also the slogan in this
sanitary movement of w. E.
Carmack, and others in the row
of Cooper buildings, snd Alf. @.
Watson ct al, all of whom are
going down in their own pockets
to pay for having their back yard
way and premises put in a per-
fectly sanitary condition. This
is doing the right thing at the
right time. AlamogOrdo has an
enviable reputation for her eli
mate, health and beauty, and if
all of us go yoke in yoke and
keep our town perfectly clean not
one mar nor word will ever come
against our future welfare.
How much better and how
much more pleasant it is for our
citizens to act Independently and
take pride in keeping all rubbish
burned or hauled away, and their
premises clean.
Let the work go on, also let the
sanitary committee see that it is
carried on throughout the town

Notice.

Our article on the reservoirs
i'll last weeks issue was based
upon information given direct
by a water company employe
and corOborated by others who
have seen like conditions. The
information was given for the
good it might accomplish towards
protecting the health of our citi-
zens, and not, as some think,
to create trouble for any one
or to inflict any unnecessary
hardship upon the water COM
pany.

PROTECTION TRIUMPH.

Refutea C1aim That IneeIIeet Is On
side Of Free Trade.
As most Of our readers know. certain
English and Scotch universities elect
members Of the British house OF com-
mons. Although Mr.. Chamberlain was
badly beaten when UnlOnist candidates
straddled. he met with gratifying sue
cess where a straight fight was made.
and now the return OF all six of the
university UnIonIsts must he very graf
flying to him. The Saturday Review
makes the following comment on the
result OF the voting at the universities:
with the close OF the polling for
Edinburgh and ST. Andrews unIversi-
ties on Thursday, Feb. 8. the elections
for the university seats were conclud-
ed. All OF them are filed with Union
lists. Not single Liberal nor single
Cnionist free FODDER has been returned
as a university member. These eIec-
tiOns are more than usually significant.
They should give pause to those who
are fond Of proclaiming that all the in
tellect is OH the side OF free trade"
In another place the same journal
says:
In fact. Liberals cannot explain or
explain away the awkward fact that
the only vote TO which an intellectual
qualification Is attached is permanent
ly and everywhere against them"
The usually brilliant Evening Post
cannot have noticed this circumstance
during its jubilation over the great
free trade victory in England. 1t does
not seem possible that it should know
this fact and allow it to be presented
to the original thought of this country
in all its abhorrent nakedness.
