mo MAN CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS

The republican county chairman, in introducing
Judge Mechem Wednesday night, said boasttuIly;
"He never repudiated his friends"
Judge Mechem, in his short, weak and inane
address said: IT do not propose that any man shall
dictate to me who shall be my visiting list" or
course, he had reference to our demand that he
repudiate and defy the bosses who had done such
untold injury to New Mexico Nobody wants to in
fluence his visiting list but the people are entitled
to know who would guide him as governor. He
has told them that. He told them with Mr.. bossem
and Mr. Craig sitting behind him the platform
loaning him the moral support necessary to his
courage.
Loyalty to friends in private life Is a virtue
Loyalty to them in public life is often vice. An
officers first love should be to the public If his
friends are the enemies of the people they should
cease to be his official friends mo man can serve
two masters"

They tell me also, Mr.. Magee,
that the present district attorney,
George Craig, has also conducted
his office very loosely and has paid
little if any attention to the morals
of this community. Has he, in your
opinion, prosecuted offenders as
vigilant public officer should? l

OYSTERS IN THE LUNCHEON
MENU,

In serving oysters in a way in
which the shape is not necessarily
to be retained, it is best to cut out
the hard muscle, leaving only the
soft fringe of gills and the mantle.
This will make them more adapt
able to cook, as well as make the
dish more palatable and digestible.
Canned oysters may be substituted
for the fresh ones in the oyster
dishes contained in the following
luncheon menus;
Baked Oyster-Corn Dish
Cocoa Preserves
Baked OyStcr-Corn Dish: Two
dozen oysters, l cup stale bread
crumbs, I pint corn, 2 cups milk
IA pound cream cheese, salt and
pepper to season. Soak the bread
crumbs in milk until soft and add
them to the oysters which have
been drained Of their liquor and
seasoned. Season the corn also
with salt and pepper, and arrange
the corn and the oyster mixture
in alternate layers in a buttcred
baking dish, Cover with the bread
crumbs, sprinkle the grated cheese
on top, and bake for about TWEEN
ty minutes in q good oven.

A Mother Wants To Know.

Editor Morning Journal,
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Dear Mr.. Magee: l am mother
with three boys, two of them just
coming into early manhood and
the other one rapidly reaching that
stage. l expect to raise these boys
in the city Of Albuquerque, and as
am this year for the first time
exercising the privilege of fran
chise, l want some advice from you.
l have been very interested in
the arguments brought forth by
different people touching on the
county ticket. I have heard that
with Frank Hubbelps domination
our roads will be bad and our as
sessments raised, but as a mother
l am much more interested in the
kind of a moral government we are
going to have. Is it not true that
Alessandro Matteucci, the nominee
of the republican party for sheriff,
was arrested for buying stolen
goods? Is it not also true that he
was the owner of the notorious Por-
to Rico in the Old Town of Albu-
querque? If these facts are true,
would he not be a bad man to ad-
minister the shefiff's office in this

and soon there was frozen the most

Nurse Jane gave some to Aunt

Friday, October 20. 1920.

Menacing stars rule this day, &C
cording to astrology. Mercury, We
nus and Uranus are all in evil place
that threatens the welfare of hui
mainly.
1t is above all unfortunate for
love affairs and is a most unlucky
wedding day, since it promises only
discussions and disappointments.
There is a sign read as indicat-
ing that there will be a newspaper
sensation in which woman in public
positions are concerned. This may
mean that the women expose cor
ruption or double dealing.
Uranus is in a place believed to
cause the human mind to lose its
right perspective. For this reason
any sort of abuse concerning po-
litical candidates will be more
readily believed than under q more
kindly rule of the stars,
While this configuration prevails
deception and intrigue flourish.
Again women are warned that they
may be peculiarly affected by the
malefic sway.
Theaters may find this an I'M
profitable time, especially if they
desire to introduce anything new
This applies to rehearsals as well
as performances, for audiences are
supposed to be affected by the de-
pressing rule of the stars.
The death of famous producer
of plays is foretold. This is part
of the prophesy that old conditions
are passing away.
The opposition of Uranus is he
lieved to cause a tendency to at
tack governmental policies, This
influence is strong in other coun-
tries as well as in the United States.
Continued improvement in the
general condition of persons living
in the United states is prognosti-
Gated. Even though there may be
a decline in the wage scale, the
period of cooperation and profit
sharing is at hand,
Persons whose birth date it is
should proceed carefully in all bust
ness affairs. The year may be
time of great activity.
Children born on this day may be
restless and headstrong. The tens.
dency to exercise strong will power
can be employed In developing a
character that commands success.

LIES SPLENDOR.

There is so much laughter on the earth,
SO much that's tender, gentle, fine and true,
That all the hate and bitterness men do
And all the sorrow chilling joy and mirth,
Are lost to memory when the skies grow blue
Sin stalks in horror for a little while,
Vice takes its victims only from the few.
IT'S the exception when a friends untrue.
But here and there the human heart is vile
Lies splendor never can be hid from view.
More sunshine falls upon the earth than rain,
The days touched with more of joy than woe
Despite the hurt and grief which men must
know.
The sin and shame-our hearts grow glad again
And gladness sets all honest eyes aglow.
