Bert Taylor living north of
town has suffered several severe
hemmorhages of the lungs the
past few days and is very week in
consequence. He is having the
very best of care and lives in a
neighborhood that will not let
him want for anything. We trust
he will pick up again.

Revival Closed.

The Revival meeting conducted
by Rev. G. E. Hunt closed Thurs
day evening, 1t has been well
attended thruout the ten days
they have progressed, lively in
terest has been shown. Not only
the many members of the Christ
ian Church in this Vicinity have
contributed with all their might
to the success of the meeting
but those not members have aided
in every way possible. The Choir
has never lacked for volunteers
and creditable musical talent has
been available every night. The
fact that there we're no open pro
fessions does not even imply that
the meetings were not a success.
A sufficient amount has been
pledged to insure services by
Elder Hunt once each month for
the year and the seed sown during
these meetings will surely beai
fruit in the years to come.

Newspaper Merger.

The Spanish-American has ac-
quired by purchase the entire
printing plant and business of
the Roy and Solano Herald, and
has taken possession of the same.
The two papers will be combined
under the name of the SPANISH

The management to give Roy a
bigger and better newspaper
than she has ever before known.
The details of. the scheme are
not fully completed but will be in
the near future, and we ask for
the cooperation and support OF
all the enterprises in Roy and Vi
cinity in making the Spanish
American the true exponent OF
all our common interests.

outlawry Wednesday night that
has not been equalled since the
DAYS of lawlessness before the
town was. A party of ordinarily

vers and other misdemeanors
that will subject them to heavy
fine and possible Imprisonment if
the victims of their bacchanalian
revel see fit to prosecute. We
withhold names this time.

The lesson taught by this club
meeting is that the pioneer
trials and adversities, which the
stalwart Kansans of today endur-
ed in earlier days, was merely the
means of winnowing out the
weak and faint hearted sending
them back to the cast and leaving
only the courageous, persever-
ing and those fit to remain and
make new country what it
should be. And the same will
prove true ofNew Mexico, only
the hardy ones who have the
faith and courage to make the
new state what nature has en-
dowed it r,will remain here to
make New Mexico rival Kansas
a few years hence.

The following selections from
the program are both gems of the
classes of literature to which they
belong and. d.express the spirit of
the OCCASION and for this reason
we reproduce them.
The prophet came to my hum
ble door. his eyes we're sad and
his head was sore. He said,
,,Gee-e Whizz! BY Heck!!'' every
thing is going to wreck The
wheat is dead and the corn won't
grow,the rain wont fall and the
hot winds blow, the worst old
drouth that ever was known, will
strike this land and make it
groan, the mills will close and the
banks will fail and we'll all raise
up in the air and wall.
The prophet went and feeling
depressed took possession of me
beneath my vest. Till the good
horse sense that l ne'er forgot
resumed it's sway in the dome of
my though. These iaundiced
sers with their gloomy views,
their aweful dreams and and the
bugaboos, know no more of the
futures plans than a mermaid
knows Of the Highland clans.
The sun will shine and the rain
will fall and the vines will grow
on my garden wall. My trees will
yet be loaded with fruit, all
things will come to the wise ga
loot who puts his faith where his
faith belongs, and, fills the air
with his CHEEKY songs"

ASSOCIATION OE BANKS.

a T THE recent meeting Of the Board of Trade
n attention called to the fact that the
bankers of Delaware have no organization. II was
said that Delaware is the only in which such
an association does not exist and this condition
is much regretted by some of the bankers
Efforts in the past have been made TO form an
organization of bankers, but they have come to
naught. The Board of Trade expressed approval
Of the suggestion for an organization, lent it
moral support in other words, for the Board does
not of course have anything directly to do with
the conduct of the banking institutions
The Journal hopes that the renewal of the agi-
tation for an association of bankers will bring
results. They should work in harmony. For
soundness, the National banks of Delaware and
the other financial institutions are not excelled by
those in any other community. They have the
respect and confidence of the people. Delaware
is proud of the fact that there has never been
national bank failure within her borders This is
a fine record, record that counts with persons
seeking places in which to engage in business
Our banks have prospered greatly. All the hnan-
cial concerns in the lower counties for example
have really made wonderful progress. Their
ports show that there is more money in Della
than ever BEFORE. at least there is
tainly more money on deposit. The chances are
that the deposits will increase even more rapidly
in the future than they have done in the past
A little bit of legislation during the last session
of the Legislature shows the value of associa-
ton There was fight to protect the good name
of our trust companies, that is to prevent the
abuse OF the word trust" in corporations char
tered under the laws of the-state The burden of
making that fight fell on the shoulders of a few,
but they took it up heroically and we're success
full in their endeavors
The bankers could accomplish considerable for
the progress of Delaware by an association. Some
members of the Board Trade have under con
sideration a scheme for the advancement of Wiz
mngton which contempates closer relations witb
the banks in certain matters. 1t is highly probable
that some kind of guarantee fund for new in
dustres such several other cities have, will be
proposed in this city. 1t has worked well else
where 1t would be highly desirable TO have the
banks in cooperation. An association would help
this project along.
In other words the banks should put their
shoulders TO the wheel and get into the front
of the movement which must be made to push
Delaware and Wilmington forward. An associa-
ton of bankers for many reasons would be high
iy desirable, and the efforts TO organize such
association should not be allowed to fail as they
have failed in the past.

CITY BEAUTIFUL.

TN THE city of Cleveland, o, commission OF
i fifteen men. will be appointed by the Mayor to
form a plan for the Identification and upbuilding
of Cleveland for century TO come. The deter
minaton to name a commission was the result OF
a conference between the Mayor and firm OF
group plan architects.
The commissioners will work without eompen-
saton. but will employ consulting architect OF
recognized ability who will devote his entire time
20 the work and be paid a good salary. The ar
chtect has already advised that all street opening
improvements be postponed until the main feat
ures of the city plan have been determined. The
city, he thinks, should wait two years before at
tempting any large Improvements. All the prob
lens of city improvement will be considered by
the commission
1t might not be a bad idea to have similar
commission in Wilmington. that the city
has had a spirit of Improvement forced on it by
the hotel project the new boulevard and other
things And the Cleveland scheme of having
commissions that serve without pay could we'll be
followed in Delaware. One criticism of some of
our commissions is that the compensation attach
ed TO holding the positions often causes sharp
conflict for the appointment of partisan commits
sioners In our bodies where there is no
pay like the Board of Education and the Park
Commission there is little or no thought of par
tisanship. Public spirited men serve in both
bodies without pay, and some public spirited
women intend to get into the Board of Edu-
cation, and there is no valid reason why they
should not do So
= Not much has been heard recently Of the City
Beautiful idea in Wilmington. We should take il
up again.
