What the Morning Jour
nal Does for Advertisers
and How 1t Does 1t.

Advertising in the Morning Journal has a far broader, deeper,
more satisfactory meaning than in any other New Mexico
newspaper.
II IS synonymous with conscientious, p~ainstaking, result
producing service. ServiCe-mark y0u-for when a Morn
ing Journal solicitor is sent for he represents an organization
that will help you plan a campaign, write, illustrate, and SET all
advertisements-an organization that will see that your adj
vertisementS are placed in suitable p~ositOns-that, in
short, will help you in every way to make your advertising a
mighty factor in making money for you.
half of the work is done. The seed OF success is soWn. And
ii goes into a fertile fleld-the most representative homes of
Albuquerque and vicinity-homeS where the Morning Jour-
nal is so popular that il has a circulation in excess of the
combined daHNes of New Mexico.
II you are not advertising in the Morning Journal, you are
L0SlNG-nOt s~aving-mOney.
Morning Journal advertising is good for your competitors,
and il would be good for you.
Don't argue!
Don't inferl -

 Wier Stops Parker.
 When Parker reached the rope Chief Wier stood in his path, pushed him back, and told him he could not enter. "I will, sirt' said MT. Parker, turning pale, but thle chief kept him back. At this moment, Mayor Ward rose in his seat and said:

CHARGES OF GRAFT AND

With Rope Stretched Around Desks Mayor Ward Bars Parker on Ground That He Is Not
 Member of the Board
 of Aldermen.

The factionaI fight in the city council which has been pending for months ex- pIoded last night like an enormous bomb. scattering shot and shell, fire and birthstone in every direction.
 In the most turbulent council meet ing ever held in the city hall, Mayor George B. Ward assumed The chairman- ship of the Board of Aldermen, over- turned the municipal code which was established in his absence, passed reso- lutions by vote of nine aldermen and himself, forcIbIy prevented John l.. Parker from entering the chamber, and presided through 40 of the most stren- uous minutes since his return.
 The climax was reached when Alder man John O'NeilI, after bitter speech in which he hurled the lie three times, gave the lie to City Attorney Ed Smith, Mir. smith Jumped toward him, and 1t took a dozen men to hold him in his seat. The crowded chamber became one mass of disorder, shouting and yeil- ing, and was not auieted down until Chief Wier and about fifteen policemen threatened to arrest all they could lay hands on.
 Charges Hurled Right and Left.
 It was a meeting in which not only the word liar" but charges of graft were hurled right and left. During the impassioned speech of MT. O'Neill he not only declared himself free from graft, but charged nearly every mem- Der of the administration faction, in- cluding Cooper Moore, Jones and For ney. with false dealing, Walter Moore with graft, denounced Henry B. Gray and made charges of both personal and official character against Mayor Ward.
 The contest began when President Parker entered the council chamber. There was Mayor Ward sitting in the

tion of MT. George Ward asking for an investigation into my conduct as an a1- derman of the city of Birmingham, and into my qualifications for the office to which 1 have been elected. In this con- munication no specific charges are made, but by nnuendo merely he attempts to insinuate that such an investigation would disclose that I have been guilty of some misconduct in the discharge of my pub lie duties, and of some other misconduct that disqualifies me for the office which l now hold.
 Extraordinary Proceedings.
 This is most extraordinary proceeding, and must be recognized as such by any falr-minded man. It Is the absolute right of every citizen of Alabama, whether he is in or out of office. to have preferred against him in @ome form the specific charges made against him. No one should know this better than the man in the high and responsible position now filled by MT. Ward. But waiving all this, l now say to your honorable board that l am not only willing to, but invite a thorough investigation into my conduct while l have been on the Board of Alder- men. and also into my qualifications for the office which l now hold and you will pardon me for now saying that I an 
 thorough, can result in showing any con- duct on my part while I have been I member of the board that In any way affects my integrity or honor, or any thing that disqualifies me for the office which l now hold I do, however. protest against my accuser and political enemy naming any committee to make such an investigation.
 Judging from his most uncalled for and unwarranted communication, l do not and can not think that in naming such q committee he would attempt to get fair and impartial tribunal before whom he might submit his charges; but on the con- trary he would attempt to put upon such a committee the personnel of which would be his political friends or my per- sona or political enemies if he can find such; and regard for common decency, | submit, would have made him rerran from suggesting that as condition 10 such investigation he should name the committee.
