The Lord High Chancellor of
England, in a speech at Montre-
al, stated people were not so
much in fear of the law as they
were of public opinion.
No the law has prov ed in
effective in the cases of certain
Curry county officials who have
squan dered the peoples money
because they were in a position
to do so, but public opinion is
nevertheless. decidedly against
them. If they have any doubt
about this matter let them be
candidates for public Office
again and see who will say
Il told you so.

Clovis is making great prepa-
rations for the annual Curry
county fair which will be held
Oct 18th to 18th. The show is
always a good one, and as this
year has been a good one on the
plains the show should be better
than ever. ~ Roswell News.
While the prize list is not as
extensive as last year, the reas-
on for this is that the premium
solicitors did not meet with the
encouragement that they had
last year, anyway the list is
large enough to cover almost
everything expected to be dis
played.

Four County Officials
Indicted for MaIfeasance

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept. 22.-
The Torrance county grand jury
has returned presentments
against Lorenzo Zamora, Juan
Cruz Sanchez, and Librado Val
encia, county commissioners,
and Acasio Oallego, county
clerk. esking their removal on
the ground of incompetency.
The officials have been given
until Sept 81 to file answer. The
case will probably be tried at a
special session in November.
Gallegos has only been in office
a year, having succeeded Manu-
ell S. Sanchez, who was removed
a year ago by the same proceed
ure. Howell Earnest, travelling
auditor, recently made an ex-
animation of the books of the
county and it is said these pro
ceedings are based on his re-
port. Evening'Herald
If incompetency and deple-
ton Of public funds is a basis
for indictment and dismissal
from Office then there is an ex-
cellent opportunity in Curry
county to do some effective
work. If what one of the coun-
ty officials says is true, Curry
county is worse than bankrupt
with no relief in sight except
through a procedure as above
stated.

psychologist and set Of Binetsimon tests do not
constitute psychologist clinic; much less medical

With promises of prompt redress;
In dreams he saw the multitude

But be it known that from this date
