Aren't you a good sailor, Mrs.

EX-GOVERNOR LINDSEY COM
MENTS,

Editor Albuquerque Journal:
Referring to editorial under the
head THE Short Ballot" the
Morning Journal of June IA:
Probably you have unconsciously
anticipated the primary duty of eX-
Governor Hagerman as chairman
of the commission appointed under
the provisions of Chapter 8, Laws
of the state of New Mexico, 1920,
in proposing that he now "distri-
butte the state account over its va
rious items" That would appear
to, be a principal duty of the COM
mission established and instructed
in said chapter.
A report OF this commission is re-
quired as of January /, 1921, and
to the governor of the state.
1t also appears unfair that you
have culled out and stated only the
least item of waste me- ioned by
Mr.. Hagerman in his article in the
santa Fe New Mexican, and invent
ed a still smaller one not mentioned
by him at all, while wholly ignoring
the larger items charged on account
of the state corporation commits
sion. the office of the secretary of
state. the state travelling auditor,
the state agricultural college, etc,
Does not this smack of the charac-
teristic of a special pleader in an
attempt to belittle the main sub
ject matter?
Personally and as a member of
the committee reporting to the
Taxpayers association. l believe in
a properly safeguarded recall. That
matter, as it now appears to me,
would be sufficiently reserved TO
the people in the limitation of the
executive term to four years. Any
shorter term would preclude state
administrative executive adequate
opportunity and time in which TO
try out party platform pledges ana
try for them. Should the executive
fail in procuring matters promised,
or having procured and tested them,
they prove governmental nostrums
rather than remedies for the gov
eminent ills, the people ought OF
course to fire him at the end OF
his term. justification for an ear
lier discharge could scarcely ARISE
in a business having the magnitude
and charter limitations OF an Amer
lean state government.
Doubtless it is highly iustiflahle
in this state jurisdiction to iterate
and reiterate the fact that the gov
ernor is the servant and not the
boss of the people; but surely, or
ganiZed society, government ana III,
dustry, etc, have demonstrated

Uncle Wiggily, as he came out from

little animal girls saw the bunny
gentleman they laughed and were
happy.
Then Uncle Wiggily helped them
make their sand city. He laid out
the streets, made one or two houses
himself and showed Squeakie and
Jennie how to dig the well. When
this was made Uncle Wiggily
brought water from a spring, not
far away. and poured it in the hole.
But what about a pail to draw
up the water?" asked Jennie.
I'll make you one out of birch
bark said the bunny gentleman,
And he did. From a long, thin
piece of wild grape vine Mr.. Long
ears next made a rope by which
the pail could be lowered into the
well and drawn up again, as real
as anything.

was nice and warm and sunny in
that part of the woods, and being
in the sunshine always made Uncle
Wiggily sleepy. So pretty soon he
said:
Il think I'll just lie down and
take a little nap, girls. Now your
sand city is all made and you can
have as much fun as you like. I'll
just close my eyes and take forty
winks, or maybe forty-one or two"
"All right, Uncle Wiggily," said
Jennie. you go to sleep and when
we get tired of playing and want to
go home we'll wake you up"
very WELL" spoke the bunny
rabbit, already half asleep and u
little later he was all asleep. D..
Jennie and Squeakie played to-
gether making a palace out Of sand
and putting a sand king and queen
inside, and then they made tun-
mel out of sand, for a train to run
through. OF course the train was

with strings of grass, but it was lots
of fun just the same.

cry. The bunny rabbit sat up sud-

fly off his pink. twinkling nose,
and looked for Jennie and Squeak

where.
"They must have run off in tho
woods to go home, and they are

Uncle Wiggily, as he stood up on
his red, white and blue striped
rheumatism crutch. But, as he did
so, he heard some voices almost at

"Help us out. Help us out!"
cried the voices.

Jennie and Squeakie, But where
are they?" exclaimed Uncle Wig
gily, n..
Were all covered up with sand
in the pretended railroad tunnel we
made!" came the answer, as though
from away far off down cellar.

IT will" cried Wiggily, in his
most jolly voice. Then he began
to make the sand fly, scratching
with all four paws, until he dug
down through the top of the tun-
mel and there he found Soueakie
and Jennie, almost out of breath.
How did it happen?' asked
Uncle Wiggily. W t"'

were two little railroad trains, and
we were crawling through the sand
tunnel as you were asleep, when 1t

Jennie.

Uncle Wiggily, ana they didn't. And
when Jennie and Squeakie went

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June II, 1920.
Editor Morning journal:
In my travels from Boston to
Frisco, I have ever been on the
lookout for a successful business
man connected with the socialist
party.
My observation is that when a
man scores a failure in business he
very promptly becomes a bright
light in the socialist party.
Can you cite me to an exception
to this general rule?
