Patrolman Armet of the Thirty-ninth

and summoned the engines. When the
hremen arrived the flames had made
their way from the cellar. where the
fire began, to the first floor and were
destroying valuable fixtures and fur
niture. In their efforts to get at the
blaze, the firemen were compelled to
tear down the wainscoating ana do con-
siderable damage.
No person was in the building at the
time. The owner was summoned and
estimated the damage. The fire was
caused by crossed electric wires, in his
belief. The occupants Of nearby houses
were aroused. but did not have to leave
their homes.

President Wilson never declared for
public ownership of railways. And
now has decided to surrender the
properties earlier than the act re-
Quires, even if congress does not so
direct. Secretary McAdoo never went
beyond saying that he favored a five
year try out and did not know that he
desired or would advocate acquiring
the lines, His successor. after an eX-
perience similar to that of Mr.. Nc
Adoo, emphatically declares for pri-
waite ownership.
The democratic leaders being for
dropping the hot poker, regardless of
the call of the American Federation
of Labor for government ownership,
the effort to secure support from a
conference of New Mexico democrats
attended by the national chairman Of
Wilson'S party. was evidently energy
wasted by the representative of labor
who advised passage of a resolution
in support of an organization bill.

TURNED BURGEOISE,

The democrats are no longer the
prolctariat but are the burgeoise the
Bolsheviki are hunting. Colonel Sell
lers, himself, admitted it at the party
conference. He said that the gasoline
inspection law was political perseeu-
ton, both an attack and tax on op-
ponents of republicans, as the demo-
Gratis owned about all of the automo-
biles.
Then why worry about a campaign
fund? Why not call the auto rich
for so much per horsepower or for a
percentage of machine cost? That
was the suggestion of chief parlor
socialist in New Mexico, as the best
way 10 raise money for hotel building

1t would meet the unanimous appro.
val of all who must bestride the patti
ent burro or use the poorer mans

PLAYING THE GAME.

Getting into the swim and playing
the game of trying to put political
opponents into corner led to the
adoption this week of resolution by
the, sachems of party which the
people of New Mexico, few months
ago, turned down, both as to state
and national management of affairs
The appeal to the governor to call
an extraordinary session of the legis-
lature to pass on the woman suffrage
amendment hardly bears out the other
big talk of the democrats about de-
string economy and condemning pub
lie expenditures.
The intention of the governor is
not known, as no announcement was
made by him. But it has been pre-
dicted that when the state election on
various amendments results IN adop-
ton, a special session will be held. In
that case the suffrage amendment may
be included in the call regardless of
political suggestion. In fact it was be-
cause of the expected action by con-
gress that some legislators were influ-
enced to wait upon suffrage legisla-
ton. They believed that it would be
brought about by the republican con-
gress just as it has been. Adoption
of the amendment by wo-thirds of
the states is a foregone conclusion.
An election in New Mexico would not
enable women to vote until next year,
just as they will, even should the leg
islature not approve of the amend
ment, which it undoubtedly will ap-
prove.
A special session of the legislature
TO consider the suffrage amendment
alone would cost lot of money. If
it were spent, democrats who are not
in favor of suffrage could make some
more medicine talk about republican
extravaganza and waste of funds
The governor of Colorado has an
nounced that a special session in that
state would use NJ $4,000 of the
public funds. and he will not calINhe

But there were unique aspects to the
career of the man who is to be thus

but with an idea. he became almost

rope and his band of colOred must
clans occupied a conspicuous place
among popular entertainers. He had
brought novel form of amusement to
the great mart for such commodities
and his reward was great.
But having ENTERTAINED New York
In its hours of idlenCss, he nut his Pc
culiar talent to a more patriotic use
when the country entered the war,
and II is on this sui stantial service
that his claim to public honors at the
hands of his race rests. Europe's jazz
band was a distinct asset to the Amer
lean forces in France. the exact extent
of which may not be measured; but
its strains animated and heartened the
soldiers to a remarkable degree. And
this is the testimony not only of the

BATH SURE CURE FOR BLUES.

his nerves on the outside of his skin,
called on an equally famous nerve
sneCialst for advice and treatment.

of nerve travail and wrote out the fol-
lowing on his prescription blank:
AT 8 o'clock every afternoon for a
week lay out a fresh supply of cloth
ing, complete from shoes to hat, on
your bed. Then draw a bath as hot as
YOU can stand it and remain therein
for fifteen minutes. Put on the fresh
supply of clothes and take a walk,
dropping into the movies before din

The finaucier wanted to know il the
physician was Kidding him." In re-
ply, the physician asked the financier
to report results at the, end of one
week, and to leave the kidding" ques-
ton open until then. AS you have
probably guessed. the financ!er made
a favorable report. ! asked the nerve
specialist the secret.
"A change in the mental attitude

on, ito come out of a hot bath with
the same depressing thoughts in his
mind that annoyed him before he went

of the water are primarily responsible
for the improved condition, but the
