Chief Of Police Benson was the re-
eipient Of another anonymous letter
one day this week. This makes the
fourth or fifth that the chief has re-

state TO his avowed friends that he
Ia much obliged for their kind advice
and warnings but that since these are
coming so frequently Of late II would
be an accommodation IL the persons who
claim they are so interested In his af'
fairs would consider his pocketbook
u little closer and not impose on him
for the postage with which to send
their kind warnings. The chief says
he does not mind the letters In the
least now that he has gotten used "a
them but that II Is annoying, not to
say expensive, to have to pay the
postage due or these letters. There

One Of the oldest things to bring
JOY to local news gatherers this week
was a mistake made by Jen Harrison

Harrison was standing on the bal

rock when he heard noise ON the
side porch lie stepped cautiously to
the corner and saw two men pry open
a screen and enter one of the rooms.
Harrison mistook the two for local
officers who may have been hunting
for poker players and consequently
remained perfectly still himself lest
he should give alarm to the gamblers
and enable them to escape from the
hands of the law.
And so he stood TO see the fun wait

so much interest has been taken in
the matter Of the commission form Of
government for cities, and the fact
that Roswell after having fathered the
hill passed by the late Legislature and
having qualified for submission Of the
matter to the people should have pig
con holed the matter indefinitely, that
have not been surprised to receive
enquiries from Tucumeari aud several
other points asking why IL was not put
through. Some seemed to think that
was becnuse Of some fault In the hill
itself and for information II may be
stated that they are right. The push.
ers Of the move realized that the bill
was incomplete, and that the people
would shoot IL all to pieces IL II were
submitted to them at this time. IL
was not because there is anything
wrong with the commission form OF

Like action on the infamous Sweezy
bill, II must all go over until the next
session Of the legislature, when there
will be several things TO attend to
especially in the way Of the repeal Of
rank mistakes and several straight on,

the mistakes are the publication Law

in the new bill governing Improvement

Popular Songs.

Nothing is more familiar nor more
mysterious than popular songs
Learned, high-brow persons say that
they have psychology all their own.
For example, why is it that a young
man can sit in the gallery and blubber
loudly over the mother in a song,
and then go home and thrash his own
mother because she hasn't enough
money to give him to buy a drink
with?
Most of us think it is the public
that makes a song popular. That does
happen occasionally, but not often. The
popularization is almost always the
result of carefully planned and exc.
cuted campaign on the part of the
publishers. They call it boosting"
when they don't employ some other
technical expression. Mostly every
business has queer kinks in 1t, but
the song business has more curious
twists and turns, apparently, than all
the others put together.
For example, Harry Williams, who
wrote the words for Navajo" 'Tm
Afraid to Go Home in the Dark" and
ever SO many others, penned "Tn the
Shade of the Old Apple Tree" as pure
burlesque on the popular ballad. The
publisher and the public took it Sc
riously, and it netted him personally
