But when it shall have passed
away, and a new era dawns, the
city will have been purged Of stag
nancy, and have to offer a realiza-
ton Of long cherished hopes of
spotless appearance and cleanli-
ness-especially to those with loft ;
ambitions: our aviators.

Editor Morning Journal:
Albuquerqueans who appreciate
the beautiful, and they are legion,
were deeply grateful when the
Chamber of Commerce saved the
grass plat opposite the high school
from ruin by Supplying the means
to water it. We We're glad that ii
was to continue, at least for the
season, to greet and inspire these
high school youngsters with the
reminder that there is something
in the active life for which they are
preparing higher and better than
the pursuit of dollars and dough-
nuts.
How great then is our chagrin
to learn that our pretty little park
is to be supplied as part of its
equipment with q pair of benches
(arranged no doubt with appropri-
ate intimacy, the gifts Of
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick
ford.
Time was when we all delighted
to see Doug pictured with his fine
little son perched on his shoulder
and his sweet-faced wife by his
side, fresh from one of his clean
entertaining acts. Time was when
we thrilled with the inimitable act
ing and modest demeanor of Mary
and read of the beautifully domes-
tic life she led off the stage. Then
the disgusting denouement! Our
idols were clay-Common, nasty
claY-to whom love" and license
were above honor and loyalty to
home or husband or wife or child.
We who enjoy the movies may
be obliged now and then to see
some beautiful play or part or
character degraded when we think
of the life of the player. But in
the name of our love Of the beau
tiful, of what we wish to inspire
and instil in the minds and hearts
Of these boys and girls attending
the high school, why pollute our
pretty park with a monument to
the morals of Mary and Doug?
7 do not know how or by whom
this donation was procured, but ]
protest against its use or accept
ance, and I believe if the Chamber
OF Commerce will take thought of
the wishes and sentiment of our
citizens, it will return their checks
to the precious pair, with a polite
suggestion that Albuquerque pre-
fers to forget them and declines
to help advertise and exalt the
qualities they now so notably
typify. -

The Colfax County Stockman
saws politics is an pngrateful thing
anyway. Listen TO this tale of woe:
eve know whereof we speak
regarding Colfax, and that is that
the democratic. ranks are SO baby
shattered, ripped and torn that the
devil himself couldn't flnd the
pieces. A few men have sought
TO dictate the partys course, with
ont consulting the rank and file,
resulting in the governor belt flying
off and the blowing up of the
whole machine. These few men
have long ago forgotten the mean
ING Of the words "harmony," jus
lice" and ''right"-have discarded
the old methods of party success,
driving many a lifelong democrat
from the fold. These men have
fought institutions within their
own ranks simply because these in
situations refused to do their bid
ding. refused to countenance their
crooked methods. These institu-
| tons have assisted In democratic
| victories for n quarter OF century
and more. The Stockman is one
| of them, one which has been
cuffed, kicked and bruised by those
( who should have been its friends.
IL not for love, then for political
publicity's sake. All during the
past eight years we have pleaded
| for political harmony in the DEM
ocratie ranks of Colfax county, and
| every assertion made brought on
the necessity of lodging another
| brick thrown at our efforts--all of
this placing the Stockman in the
same position as the man who felt
| that he was without a party
driven out. not wanted; undesira-
Bile, not welcome; n menace to
crooked political methods, and an
obstruction to the success of those
whose motto has long been rule or
lruin.

Family names among the Italians
are likely to be OF much greater
antiquity, as family names, than
those which come from the north
ern countries of Europe, for the
Romans long before Christ had q
more scientific spstem of nomen-
clature than has ever been devel-
oped since.
This system, of course was sub
merged when the Roman empire
went down under the successive
waves of barbarians from the
northeast, who settled in the lands
they conquered and finally buill
up the modern civilization. Nat
urally these barbarians did not
bother with family names. 1t was
enough for man to have one
name and indicate who his father
was.
But the old Roman family names
survived in a fashion, and when
the new civilization assumed con-
structive form. and people began
to adopt family names, many OF
them came to light again.
Julian is one of these names. II
is no less than the family name OF
julius Caesar.
The old Roman system of names
was threefold. A citizen had three
names, his personal, given name
his family name and his triba
name. OF course the tribal sys'

speeches, by means of printed cir
culars or letters, or by using space
in the newspapers. Will any one
claim that either of these are cal
culated to corrupt the electorate of
the state?
A candidate may reach thousands
of the voters with his announce
ments in the newspapers and thus
tell them of his candidacy, claims
and capabilities, which he could
not see personally.
1t should be regarded as a favor
to the voters to allow q candidate
to supply them with direct inform
alton concerning himself over his
own signature, rather than to pre-
vent this publicity and leave the
voters to go 1t blind in selecting n
choice among candidates, or rely
on such information as may come
to him from doubtful services

Dear Doctor:
1t is many years since | first met you, at the time
when you on behalf of your Society, took charge
=. of and reclaimed four orphan children whom my
self and friends interested themselves in, and since
that time | have had many opportunities, noting
personally the good work carried on by the Society
under your management, and feel that New Mex
leo and the Southwest, which provide no other ma
chinery for the care of the destitute children, is
very deeply in your debt, for the work that you
have performed on behalf of its citizens.
The many hundreds or thousands of happy chill
dren rescued by you will in the years to speak
for themselves, and | wish you every success in
the future work and its enlargement as now con-
templated
1t is pleasure to per our conversation to
confirm my subscription of $1,000.00 which is to
be invested and held to the credit of the permanent
endowment fund of the Society, the interest to be
used for the benefit of carrying on the work.
Sincerely yours, ,..a...+

Personal CELEBRITY, EilIed Jails.

Judging from the records of the
courts Of New Mexico, as compared
with those days when personal
liberty was triumphant on every
corner, when each town enjoyed
several personal liberty joints
and their natural and inevitable
neighbors, we believe we are justi-
fled in taking the side of less lib
erty and more decency, more hap
by homes, more savings and fewer
idlers and deni2ens of the under
world. The success of a campaign
for the restoration of light wines
and beers would be but the begin
ming of the return of booze of all
kinds, perhaps not the open sa-
loon, but the secret one, also the
bootlegger, the drunkard. and all
the accompanying evils.
The lack of booze is hurting no
one, physically or morally, but the
restoration Of booze would injure
millions. There is no excuse, no
need. LAS Cruces Republic.

Wait NO Longer.
Do not put off till next year the
building that might be started this
spring, is, in short, the advice given
to prospective builders and inves-
tors concerned about building by
Allen Il. Beals, secretary. of the
Dow Service Daily Building re-
ports Building costs are excess
sively high, but this expert insists
that nothing is to be gained by
waiting unless one Is prepared to
wait five years or more. Even
though the price peak of materials
may be reached in less time than
that it seems to this authority on
the building market that there will
be a high price level either at or
above the present prices which will
be maintained for long time. so
the best thing for the builder to
do is to start his plans at once in
stead of Waiting until next year
and finding that prices are still
higher.-Literary Digest.
Amend Corrupt Practice Act.
The corrupt practice act passed
by the Arizona legislature several
years ago was well intended; 1t was
for the purpose of preventing the
spending of too much money by
candidates and thereby prevent the
debauching of the electorate by
the use Of money, but we do not
believe that the legislature intend
ed to brand publicity as a means
of corrupting votes but that is one
result of the present law.
To our mind it would be just as
reasonable to limit the number OF
speeches which a candidate might
make in a campaign as to limit the
amount of advertising space one
might use in making known to the
voters his claims and purposes in
case he Is successful. There are
three ways by which candidate
may inform the voters of his capa-
bilities, his claims and intentions,
They are by means OF pubic
