Secretary Tumulty's letter was to
Edward E. Grosskopf, state treasurer

You were generous enough to con-
suit me as to whether the democrats
of New Jersey should at this time
endorse the president for second

he were taking advantage of the ex

gain some personal advantage through
such an expression of confidence b,

SICK DOCTOR 81.
Proper Food Put Him Right

The food experience of a physician
in his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way, is valuable:
"An attack of grip, so severe 1t
came near making an end of me, left
nv stomach in such condition I could
not retain any ordinary food. I knew
of course that must have food nour-
ishment or I could never recover.

of Grape Nuts and cream three times
a day and for 2 weeks this was al
most my only food. 1t tasted so deli
cious that I enjoyed it immensely and
my stomach handled it perfectly from
the first mouthful. 1t was so nourish-
irg l was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks in which the stomach is so de-

To Amuse immigrants
That immigrants from Europe who
are detained at Ellis Island in the
future will probably be more comfort
able and find many more luxuries
than in the countries they have left
is indicated by the statement of the
new commissioner of immigration,
who has announced that he will use
every effort for the comfort of aliens
during their detention at Ellis Island
His plans go so far as to include play
grounds for the children to be built
especially for their recreation. He
has also bought toys for the youngs-
tors to play with, and has a phono-
graph to play dance music of the diff
ferent countries so that, while the
children are playing, the older people
may dance instead of sitting and
brooding over their troubles. Just at
present the tide of immigration is
low, only $4,000 immigrants having ar
rived at this port during the past
month as compared to 100000 for the
same period year ago. On this ac'
count the establishment of the propos
ed innovation at Ellis Island will be
much simpler than under ordinary cir
cumstances.
Hoboes Denounce War
However the rest of the world may
feel concerning the European war
New York's hoboes are unalterably
opposed to it. At gathering Of thi;
! shifting population announced to TAKE
the form of an anti-war demonstra
ton, the sentiment of those attend
| ing it was almost universal that wa;
was bad for them since it made peo
| ile stingy. While there have beel
other denunciations of the war thi
last one, because of its novel attitude
even if its not effective, is likely t,
be remembered AS a matter of fac
the hobo anti-wa. demonstration
threatened a small war in itself sine
there were members of so many dit
ferent nationalities present that tror
bic was looked for at any moment
Eut aside from denouncing the effec
o fthe war in making people sting
and in denominating the crown head
OF Europe as 'boneheads," the NEE
ing passed off without trouble.

SHOULD RESIGN

Some time ago, after publishing al
Legations to the effect that b. u
Hernandez. while treasurer Of Rio
Arriha county. had been guilty Of ap-
parent Irregularities, the Albuquerque
Jorning Journal-seifIyled the Lead
i-y republican newspaper of the state,
cugh it supports democratic candi-
les with great regularity
n that he resign as republican candi-
cate for congressman from New Mex
leo. The Journal also demanded the
resignation of Ralph c. Ely, chairman
os tho renublican state central com
n.ittee
Instead of resigning, however, Mr.
Hernandez and Mr.. Ely called on the
Journal family with sworn statements
TO show that the republican candidate
for congress, instead of being guilty
of Irregularities in office while treas
tner of Rio Arriba county, was hon
est and upright and endeavored to
keep the books and accounts of his
office absolutely correct, and that it
vas at Mr.. Hernandez's request that
the travelling auditor checked up his
: accounts.
The Journal was glad to print these
statements; so glad, in fact, that 1t
made them the lead article on the first
page of yesterday mornings issue.
Tt will be remembered that 1t was
the report of the travelling auditor up
on Mr.. Hernandez's books that the
Journal used as the foundation of its
attack on the republican candidate for
congress, stating that Mr.. Hernandez
was found short in his accounts and
made good the shortage when his
attention was called to it. Now that
it has been proved that the auditor
made his examination at Mr.. Herman
<iezs request, it must become appar
ent to everybody that the former Ric
Arriba county treasurer had no desire
20 defraud the county of any itI
fpnds or had any reason to fear the
closest Examination of his accounts
Having failed to prove it's case
against Mr.. Hernandez and having
shown no cause why he should resigr
from the republican ticket, it woult
zhe course it suggested to the candl
date for congress, and resign.
1t should resign from further part
cination in the state campaign;
should resign its rigbt-if it has any

and it should resign itself to the LICK
ing it and its congressional candidat
will get on election day.
