Address OF Welcome.
In his address of welcome, Mr.. Pal
mer said:
One year ago II was my privilege
and pleasure to welcome the members
OF this association to our city, and I
trust that my remarks at that time.
were not lacking in sincere express
sions of genuine hospitality. now,
however, frankly admit. that the well
come then extended by me did not
partake OF the degree OF spontaneous
heartiness with which | desire to in
vest my remarks today.
The reasons for this contrast In the
se4ftlment existing at the opening of
your former meeting and the feeling
which am now endeavoring to ex-
press to you. Is obvious One year
ago | was called upon to address a
gathering largely composed of
strangers. We then accepted you as
guests of quality, because you came
well recommended and because you
were our brothers in trade. We took
you on faith: aud, after associating
with you during the period OF your
meeting. we were prepared to assert
that our faith had been amply justi-
fed. You were weighed In the criti-
cal balance OF our esteem and no man
was found wanting; we tested the
temper OF your metal and found 1t to
ring true. Therefore, today we do

DON'T FORGET HOW TO WALK

The following good advice is from
the Baltimore Sun-but the goodness
of the advice is as nothing in COM
parison with the audacity Of the pa
per that would advise people to
walk" when the mercury is at ninety
in the shade. u the average man
has all he can do to sit stlll. The
sun says.
"Thc trolley car, the automobile
and the train have made transporta-
ton SO easy that people seldom walk
any more. They ride to business. to
the thcatcr. the store, the resort, from
the country into town. from one street
To another. until walking has become
almost a lost art. In a generation or
two more we viii forget how to use
our legs. Man is by nature a walking
animal. He was never made to sit
still and be swiftly moved from place
to place. Ana he Is beginning to
show the results of failure to use the
motor muscles, lie is becoming too
fat and pudgy. and no small portion
of his IN health might be traced TO
his failure 60 develop his muscles ana

The Public Forum

Editor Morning Journal
The citizens Of Albuquerque are in
a state Of unrest on account of the
failure OF proper and sufficient water
supply. They are much divided in
opinion as to where the main re-
sponsibfity lies for the present short
age of water. All sorts of rumors are
aaoat. examinations and recrimina-
tons MI the air. but Of n thing the
| public are certain. to wit, there IS
an alarming scarcity of good pure
water. They have the additional as
surance that the mother earth in this
| vicinity affords an ample supply If the
| proper means are employed to make
use of it.
The public are also informed from
credible sources hat plenty Of pure
mountain water is obtainable at q
depth Of forty-thrce feet from the
surface of the ground. Mr.. Bearup
has several tNo-inch water tight pipes
down to the gravel stratum within
which water rises OF its own volition
TO within one foot of thu surface of
the ground.
with this knowledge no n can
deny the right and roasonableness OF
a general complaint by the consumers
Of water that they are unreasonably
deprived of what they are willing to
pay for ana that some one is in duty
bound to provide it.
Where does the blame lie 1t
seems that in the interest Of fair play
