Railroad gross earnings for the first
week in October make a close cOmpar-
ison with year ago, the total of all
United states roads reporting to date,
according to Dun's Review, amounting

cent as compared with the earnings of
the same roads for the corresponding
period last year The returns of most
of the roads throughout the south are
better than last year at this time, the

ng the active movement of the cotton

PROGRESSIVE
REPUBLICANS
WILL MEET

progressive RepuDllCdllS ledS us
of New Mexico was organized
here tonight at a we'll attended
and enthusiastic meeting in City
hall The movement, which will
undoubtedly spread rapidly al
over New Mexico, is a protest
against machine politics as dis
plaved in the nomination Of the
republican state ticket The OBJ
iects of this league are the pro
motion of the following prln-
cipl7s:
I'VE believe in the language
of Abraham Lincoln, that this IS
a government Of the people, by
the people and for the people
1--WE are absolutely opposed to
the corrupting influence of the
special interest in politics, boss
rule and gang methods, and we
favor none but clean men for or
fetal positions.
I'VE believe in the election OF
the United States senators by q
direct vote of the people, through
an amendment to the constltu-
ton of the United Statet; and
we are in favor of direct pr!ma-
ries for the nomination OF all
elective offices making the noml-
nees directly responding to the
people, rather than to party bos-
ses.
Excepting the articles of the
constitution of this state relating
to the elective franchise and ed
ucation, we are IN favor Of max
ing the constitution more easily
amended. We believe in the
election of delegates to national
conventions by presidential
preference act with opportunity
to the voter to express his choice .
on his ballot for president and
vice president.
I'VE favor an early amend
ment to the constitution OF the
state, providing a sensible and
reasonable initiative and referen-
dunn, an easier method.of remoV-
ing unfaithfuI and dishonest pub
lie servants of the state, rather
than by the slow process OF I'M
peachment and also an enlarge
ment of the powers and more
clearly defining the duties OF
the corporation commission OF
the state.
eve favor a corrupt practices
act limiting the amount of mon
ey that can be expended on elec-
tions requiring publicity from
candidates and political commit
toae of monevs eXDenQed and
for what purposes, thus eHmiat-
ing as far as possible, thus elm
ating as far as possible the cor
,upt use of money in politics.
I'VE believe that all men are
equal before the law, that no
special PRIVILEGES should be
granted to any one, rich or poor
not accorded to all men, but that
each man should have an equal
chance with every other man as
Of personal merit.
We welcome all voters to
this league from other political
parties who have affiliated with,
or wish to affiliate with progress
sive republicans from sincere,
honest and worthy motives and
for the carrying out of the prin-
ciples of this league free from
selfish interest. "

advantage Of what is known as
machine politics and of the men
who make a business thereof; and
such legislation as shall provide
full and complete publicity Of all
political campaign expenses, both
before and after election, with
severe penalties for corruption
and bribery of voters, for excess
sive expenditure of money for
political purposes whether by or
for candidates for public office.
We pledge our party to the
enactment Of laws to provide for
the separation and independence
Of the judiciary from political in
fuence.
We favor the enactment of
compulsory compensation laws,
coupled with a wise plan of in
dustrlal insurance so that en-
ployes engaged in hazardous oc-
equations or their families may
receive prompt compensation for
injuries or death without the de-
lays, injustice and expense of the
present system,
While the question Of the
manner in which Republicans
shall vote upon the sO-called blue
ballot amendment to our consti-
tuition shall not be regarded as
test of party feaIty, yet we re
gard the congressional require
ment that we shonld vote thereon
after our constitution has been
ratified by a majority of over
$4,000 as an unWarranted inter
ference with the rights of self
government and a reflection on
the intelligence of the people cf
our state, who should be allowed
to amend the constitution which
they have created in their own
way and at their own time, and
until so amended by the volun-
tary act Of the people we declare
that the Republican party stands
by that constitution as it was
adopted by the convention and

Recognizing that free and un-

Republican candidates for the
legislature to the enactment of
appropriate legislation looking to
the preservation of the purity Of
the ballot and to a free express

operation no citizen of this state

or not. The reason of this diversity of opinion is due to the fact that some peoples systems need the water to pro- mote digestion and to help in the food changes of the body, while others do not. Water is needed to act upon the bowels and kidneys, and hot water, taken as hot as it can be borne, is better than cold. Ice water should be avoided.
 Some people, especially those who have inherited a tendency to flesh, a matter which can be determined gen. erally by knowing the habits of their families, will always be stout, no mat ter what they do, and these will find that efforts at flesh reduction are not only unavailing, but will undermine the health.
 There Is one other consideration which should be borne in mind by those who are very stout and wish to get rid of their supertiuous flesh; the fat is distributed in layer under the skin, the same as if it were an inter- lining of cotton or wool, more or less thick. The skin is kept smooth over it. When the fat goes the skin shows the lack of this interlining and bet comes f1abby and wrinkled. A fat person who has become thin never looks as well. The wrinkled skin is often not of healthy color, and the individual has the appearance of one recovering from a fit of sickness. espe-

and vigor gradually. Most of the ex- at time and increasing in quantity ercises for flesh reduction tire one at first, and are likely to make one dizzy. AS soon as one begins to feel dizzy she should stop.
 The Value of Baths.
 Very hot baths when going to bed are good, but before getting out of the bath the cold water should be turned on until the water is quite cold; then with hair mittens, bath brush or a hair strap rub every part of the body vigorously enough to redden it. Not alone is such bath beneficial, but the exercise incident upon the rub down after it is of great benefit. Mod crate exercise is not of much use in flesh reduction-in fact, I think that and too gentle massage stimulates an increase of fat rather than reduces it. Therefore, as soon as possible the ex- ercises should be increased until they can be taken with such vigor that they will start the precipitation and increase the circulation.
 Another consideration in the matter of flesh reduction is that of drinkables. Beer, malt liquors and alcoholic bev- erages are great flesh producers, and should not be indulged in. It Is a question with those who have made a study of reducing the flesh whether water should be allowed with meals
