HAMMERS AND HORNS.

Mr. Woods eloquence almost persuaded to
do anything he asked. Then, remembering that he

us and attempting to drive us out of business
through these judgments, our caution prevailed and
de refused to "co-operate" with him fully. He
might ask to confess Judgment

missing their suits and ceasng to attempt to de-

for us.
Mr. Wood is merely attorney in these mat
ters employed by others and unable to control their
conduct. Nevertheless some else might have
with better grace, done the talking about our CO.
operation The Journal admires F. E. Wood and
makes the above comment in all good nature.
The journal desires to co-opera,e with the rank
and file OF the people of Albuquerque and the state
of New Mexico to bring about happiness, growth
and prosperity. Therefore, will be found work

When has the Journal failed in its loyalty to
the people and the public welfare? When has 1t
suked IL a task was in hand which would help the
public?
For the exploiters Of the people (the weeds in
New Mexcos garden) TO accuse the Journal OF a
lack of a spirit Of cooperation is Joke. These
have choked out hope, courage and intiatve-the
fruits OF prosperity. These weeds must be uprooted

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, March 15.-Reports
that prices for wheat at Liverpool
were sharply lower had a depress-
ing effect today on grain values
here. Wheat in Chicago closed
unsettled at q to &c net decline
with May $1.32M to $1.32as and
July $1.14A to $1.14%. Corn lost
| &c to 1%c and oats % to &c
to &C. In provisions the outcome
varied from n setback of &c to an
advance of sc.
According to one authority the
Liverpool market for wheat to be
delivered Immediately was in a
semi-demoralized condition with
prices down to a sensational extent,
as much as 9 pence a bushel in
some cases. Reports were also
current that British millers. dis
turbed by big arrivals of wheat at
Liverpool, were trying to resell all
purchases which were still afloat
and one to arrive. General selling
here at the opening resulted, but
subsequently opinion among trad
ers appeared to be much divided,
and rallies overcame a good part
of the earlier losses.
Late advances from Liverpool
seemed to be much at variance
with earlier dispatches about the
English wheat market and this
circumstance tended to assist the
reaction here. The closing at LiV-
erpool was given in some messages
as being the same as yesterday
both for immediate and future de-
livery. An upturn in premiums
for United States wheat at Gulf Of
Mexico ports was also factor in
causing the market here to re-
cover in part from its weakness.
Corn and oats declined in sym
pathy with wheat and as result
of slowness of export call for corn.
Provisions most of the day were
weak owing TO downturns in the
value of hogs and Of grain as we'll.
Closing prices:
Wheat - May. $1.32A; July,
$1.14A.
Corn-May, 59Ac; July. 62%c.
Oats--May, 37&c; July 399sc.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

Dr. Hubert Work has taken the oath of office
as postmaster general, succeeding Will H. Hays,
to whom he has been first assistant. He enters
upon duties which probably have direct
daily bearing upon the affairs of the people of this
country than those of any other officer in the
cabinet.
His chief and perhaps even his sole official duty
is to see that the United States mails quick
~, safely and accurately. The matters of economy,
for the benefit of the public which pays for such
service, and of justice for the postoffice depart
ment's employees engaged in the work. details
Of the main task. 1t is big job and gives one
man plenty to do.
As was proved by Mr. Hays. 1t can be done best
IL 1t is not interfered with by the assumption of
tasks which do not properly belong to it, such as
made the postal administration of Secretary Bur-
Lesson an abominaton. OF these self-imposed duties
censorship the worst evil. Instead of expe-
diting the mails Mr.. Bureson delayed and ham
pered them, and with them delayed and hampered
the free communication which is an essential of
democratic government
1t not only bad for the mail service but bad
for the principles of democratic society. Mr..
Hays largely corrected that tendency. 1t is to be
Expected that DR.. Work, trained in the same school
and cooperating with the same national admins
Itration. will follow the general principles
If he does his administration is virtually certain
to be a success.

VERSE OF TODAY
THE FAIREST THINGS.

The fairest things are those that silent come;
You may not hear the first approach of morn
And though you listen the golden sum
OF hours fade into dust, sound is borne.
When the stars dance high no bugles blow
The footsteps Of the flowers fall silently
AS softly comes the blossoms of the snow;
And clouds float by in pale tranquility.
No voices herald moonlight on a lake;
The silvery dew is still; these gifts are given
As quietly as Christ, who for sake
Was sent to us, the greatest gift of heaven.
Tendery now. as in the yesterday
He leads earth-weary children in His way.
