Would Deport BarnaCles.

The Alamogordo News has a
great scheme, and it is one that
might be 81 read to other towns
with distinct benefit. 1t is to have
the Commercial club keep per-
manent fund. from which shall be
taken the railroad expenses of every
barnac'e and knocker that can be
induced to leave town. If man
thinks that the town is going to
the demnition bow-wows, that
Montgomery Wards is the only
print-shop worth while, and that
everybody is ON the skin and that
life isn'tworth living anyhow, all he
has to do is to go to the club, and,
upon promising never to come back,
get railroad ticket to any part of
the United States.
There is a whole lot in the
scheme; every town suffers more
from the man with the chronic
belly-acher and barnacle than it
does from fire and flood and epi-
demic and panic, simply because
the visitations Of Providence only
occur in spots, while the work of
the knocker goes on all the time.
