to the scene. arriving shortly after a
general alarm had been turned In.
Three streams OF water were played on
the blaze by the city department and
a fourth stream was added upon the
arrival OF the Santa Fe volunteer de-
partment from the shops. Both the
city and Santa Fe laddies did splen-
aid work. John Lee Clarke, chairman
Of the fire committee, OF the city coun-
Gil. was on the job for more than an
hour and assisted Fire Chief Klein
In directing the fight against the
OF the lowlands station, was incapa-
citated early in the fight, sustaining
a badly liberated hand when he at
tempted to smash In a window glass
on the second floor.
Attracted 10y the blaze, smoke and
excitement. a large crowd Of people
made their way 90 the scene OF the
fire and watched the progress OF the
flames. The verandas Of the Alvarado
hotel were filled with people, whlie
hundreds lined the sidewalks on First
street and adjoining avenues.
Shortly after 1 O'Clock the blaze
was gotten under control and before
dark smouldering ruins were all h a
told the story Of the fire.
The firemen returned to their sta
tons. but were called back at S o'clock
and renewed the fight on the flames
| which had broker out again on the
first floor. After a single stream had
played on the ruins for almost an
hour. the stubborn blaze was con-
quered, with but little possibility TO
reappearanee.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
ANSWERS HEALTH
BOOSTER
Statistics Quoted to Show That
Death Rate in Albuquerque
From Typhoid, Scarlet Fever
and Diphtheria is Low.
Editor Morning Journal.

Editor Morning Journal.
Sir,-In answer to the article, en-
titled Death Rate figures for Aibu-
! aueraue Startling appearing in your
issue Of December 2lst and signed
Health Booster we, "a
appointed by the Bernalillo County
Medical Society, wish to correct some
Of the statements made in aid arti-
Gle. as they are grossly misstated
/ and misleading. The death statistics
Of certain cities quoted may be cor
! rect. but we maintain that Figures
quoted for our city are incorrect, as
the following statement will show:
From Janpary 1st, 1910, to the
present time we have had twelve
deaths from typhoid fever, ten OF
I which came from outside this city,
only two being residents of Albu-
aueraue. From the same date. we
nave had seven deaths from scarlet
fever, three of which occurred out
| side the city limits. From the same
date we have had two deaths from
diphtheria, one of which occurred
outside the city limits.
We do not consider deaths from
tuberculosis, as it is a well known
fact thai practically all cases are
imported.
Please the olatati~S
quoted mere with those given by the
Health Booster
Is is justice to our city to attribute
a high death rate to 1t when the facts
are that most of the deaths occur IN
families who either live outside the
city limits or have lately sought our
good climate and our hospitals as a
last resort for a cure az their all
ments?
Upon what population are the
Health boosters figures computed?
1t e to us that he has chosen
his own figures to meet the case.
We have quoted but lhree diseases
from the city health department to
illustrate the grave errors made by the
Booster but are willing to append a
sworn statement from the city healtn
department to the effect that the
figures we have given above are cor
rect.
From the appearance of the article
we ard almost forced to believe that
the health booster has an abnormal
itch to appear in print and that sucn
articles must be inspired by some
selfish or Interior motive.
We known hat Albuquerque is one
of the healthiest cities in the world
aid a careful examination of the true
statistics of the city health depart
ment will prove the statement.

In the efforts to rush students
through to higher branches, some
schools seem to forget the everyday
needs but not less important part
of a good education. Spelling, pune
tuation, the division of words into
syllables and capitalization are
branches of an education which are
often sadly neglected by the teacher.
Few accomplishments are more need
ed in orrespondence-the great av-
anue of business and social inter-
course. No letter is complete with
out their strict application. No ed
ucation is complete without them.

A GLOVE CONTEST.

The Hartford Republican seems to
think that the gloves used in The
Heralds article last week were too
heavy or too light, or some other
fault that gave it pain. Beg pardon,
brother, but when you butted into
the ring you said nothing about the
weight of the gloves to be used. 1t
is always considered unbecoming for
a boastful editorial pugilist to com
plain, when he gets Knockout, at
the weight of the gloves. The Re-
publican should have been kind
enough to name the weight and fin
ish of the gloves to be used.
The Republican seems to have
great difficulty in getting around
the glove schedules of the Dingley
and Payne-Aldrich bills, which We
quoted. At the start, it simply said:
Ladies gloves, tariff reduced un-
der the Payne-Aldrich bill, soc on
the dozen" When we quoted the
glove section of the two tariff bills,
showing that the tax has been in
creased, it intimates that it did not
mean that kind of glove, but it fails
TO say what kind Of. glove II did
mean, and it also fails to quote any
sections of the tariff laws showing
where gloves have been reduced. The
mere assertion by an editor that so
and so is true, means little or moth
ing. The records state the facts.
Coming back to the quotation
where it boldly said, Broom corn,
from which the kitchen broom is
made, under the Payne-Aldrich bill
reduced" it finally, after admitting
it was wrong, says, I'VE were
not sure" Quite likely. In fact,
this conclusion has been proven,
both by it's own later assertions and
the tariff laws quoted. 1t is quite
evident that the Republican was
mot sure" about any of its asser-
llOhS. II Simply OIL uNh OuI bilhN-
~, assuming that nobody would be
able to contradict it from the laws
of the land.
Coming on further in it's "squirm-
ing in and out" article, the Repub-
lican changes its point of attack and
instead of further unfolding its par
tvs tariff laws, it says; 1.-The troub-
lie is that the Republican party ever
made any attempt to change the tar
iff laws" True; very true. Espec-
tally as the Republican leaders re-
vised the tariff upward instead of
downward, as they promised
We have no part in the Republic
ans fuss against its own party about
what the party has or has not done.
That is its own affair. But it does
seem very inconsistent and silly for
the Republican to butt into a polit-
ical controversy with a few quickly
disproven assertions and then criti-
else its own party for giving it
grounds to do so.
The main portion of the Republic
ans tariff effusion in reply to our ed
itorial defense last week is given to
a wild harangue against members of
it's own party and Democrats in Con-
gress who did not do what it thinks
they should have done. That is not
pertinent to the subject in hand. The
fact remains that the Republican
butted into tariff controversy with
a few assertions that were quickly
disproven by quoted records, and
that it now finds itself in a maze of
uncertainty, from the depths of
which it cries out: I'VE were not
sure"
