GOVERNOR WILSON'S

those years we have furnished more

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER /, 1911.
RAILROADS AND SHOPMEN

1t is not very clear what grievances
exist which the shopmen of the Union
and Southern Pacific desire to have
remedied. There is, therefore, no
basis for any intelligent opinion on
the merits of the dispute, which, how
ever, is said to be in danger of re-
.sulting in a general strike of the
shopmen.
There are those who, without in
quiry, would say that whatever the
unions ask should be denied. There
are also those who will insist that
whatever the unions ask should be
granted.
Neither of these classes repre-
sents public opinion, nor do both to-
gether do so.
The general public has paramount
interest in all public services. and so
far as public opinion on the subject
can be said to exist, it is to the ef-
feet that those who engage in public
ayers or employees, are alike under OBJ
legation to serve the public and not
to impair or interrupt that service,
either by insisting on unreasonable
demands or refusing to consider those
which are reasonable.
The fact is. that the railroads of
the United States seem to be between
the devil and the deep sea. On the
one hand the Interstate Commerce
commission is restricting their profits,
with no provision or responsibility
for maying up any losses; and on the
other hand, employees are demanding
an ever-increasing share of the gross
income.
That is the situation generally in
the transportation industry. The
Southern and Union Pacific are
among the more prosperous systems,
but during the last year they show
a large shrinkage of gross income,
and will probably, when the figures
are available, show still larger
shrinkage of net income. 1t is also
claimed in their behalf that they pay
higher wages than are paid on any
other system.
What the result of che whole situa
tion is, we are beginning to see. In
vestors are positively refusing to in
vest in shares of new railroad enter
prises, and new construction has
stopped, except in so far as funds
have been already provided.
Many of those who already owl
shares in railroad property are evi
IDENTIFY anxious to get cut of the bust
ness, as is shown by the pressure T.
sell, which has existed for the las
few weeks and which has already re
duced the price Of shares to YER
low point.
Such railroads as have a very larg
equity belonging to stockholders ca
still borrow, but at constantly IN
creasing rates. There are no road
which can borrow at any price wha
is needed for the proper development
of their traffic, nor are there an
which will be able to borrow very Ion
without reinforcing the security by
sale of shares.
1t is not good for anybody to sto
Investment by destroying the hope Q
profit. The world is still big an
there are many countries which ar
more than ready to take the none
which we drive away.
There must be live-and-let-liv
principle among all concerned IL tn
business of the country is to be don
at all. The general public is gettin
very tired of this Increasing indus
trial warfare, in which it does not an
cannot know the merits of the cor
tention of either party.

TAFT's BID FOR SUPPORT
IN 1912

President Taft was unquestionably
laying the groundwork for an appeal
to the conservative elements in Ameri-
can society to support him in 1912
against wave of radicalism, says the
Financial World, of Chicago, when in
his G. A. R. speech at Rochester he
said: l
Higher aims for the betterment of
society, these new evils growing out
Of the concentration of wealth, and
these combinations which properly
controlled are a great good in the re-
duction of the cost of production, have
invited from the active-minded of to-
day suggestions of remedies that are
so extreme that the medicine to many
of us seems worse than the disease.
Those who are charged with the
responsibility, and sobered with the
difficulties find ourselves in the mid
die of the road resisting the tendency
of socialism on the one hand, and the
inertia of reactionary contentment
with present evils and ambition for
greater concentration of financial
power on the other; but we are grad
ually solving the problem. It must
and will be solved peacefully and by
the earnest effort of the level-headed,
the practical, and the courageous
among us, and by reducing the influ-
ence of the demagogue and the theore-
tical extremists on the one hand, and
the reactionary influence of combina-
tions of wealth on politics and prog
ress.
However dark at times the situa-
ton seems, so long as we retain in
this country God-fearing, sober, in
telligent people, we can count in the
long run upon their working out safe
ly and sanely the problems set before
them, no matter how many mistakes
in the form of "nostrums" they may
have been led into by the specious-
ness of half-baked theories of pro-
ress, no matter how often they may
have been defeated in their purpose
by the temporary success of undue
and corrupt influence of concentrated
wealth."
The president has been quick to see
the line of cleavage that separates
those who are preaching 'nostrums"
and "half-baked theories" and the
"level-headed, the practical and the
courageous among u.s." He is now try
ing to line up the conservatives of
both parties to his way of thinking
against those of the Wilson and La
Toilette schools who are intent on tear
ing down the old banners and thrust
ing forward new notions. At the
same time he casts an anchor to wind
ward to retain those who have been
disturbed in mind at the Inertia OF
reactionary contentment" and the
ambition for greater concentration
of financial power" In the present
state of unrest and discomfort, Mr..
Taft will prove himself great states
man if he shall successfully steer the
middle course he has mapped out.
That the varying phases of this con-
test will have a most important bear
ing on our financial and Industrial
welfare admits of little doubt. If, un-
happily, we are to be plunged into a
period of depression, which is hardly
conceivable at this time, it is difficult
to reach the conclusion that the
American people will embark on ex-
periments with untried theories and
leaders. ~

impartiality of treatment" The re-
suit shows that such treatment does
not of necessity imply dullness or lack
of strength, but has made the work
one of classic grandeur.
touch of pathos lies in the dedica-
ton ITO the memory of Margaret
Olive Twitchell, whose love and ap-
probation as a devoted wife constant
ly encouraged me in my historical
labors, this work is gratefully and af-
fectionately dedicated by the author"
Governor Mills is honored in the
volume, for through him in a prefa-
tory note, the author gives the history
to the world, saying:
Through you, I am giving this
work to our people with the hope
that careful study will not fail to
impress upon the readers mind the
fortitude, the courage, the suffering
and the martyrdom of those who first
brought to New Mexico the banner OF
Christianity and civilization, trusting
that preesnt and future generations
of New Mexico may thereby better
understand the difficulties surround
ing and harassing their predecessors
in the maintenance and preservation
of that emblem during the periods
of isolation which preceded the ad-
vent of twentieth century progress
and conditions"
Fifteen hundred autograph copies,
all numbered, comprise the first edi-
tion and to possess one of these is to
be honored. 1t is book without which
no historical library will be COM
plete and without which there
ought to be no home in New Mexico
in which culture dwells and in which
there is love of the Sunshine State.
Especially here in Santa Fe, and the
history of New Mexico is to large
extent a chronicle of the Capital. it
should become the latest work of ref
erence, the local history whose salient
facts are learned by heart.
In passing, the New Mexican can
only allude to the wealth of biblio-
graphic references which are invalua-
BILE; to the numerous footnotes giving
quotations from original manuscripts
and other authors, and which in
themselves, would make the history
noteworthy, being an evidence of tire
less scholarship, industry and re
search.
AS to the reward for such a work
that has taken the best of the life
time of a man who is nothing short
of a genius? There is the satisfac-
ton for him Of work well done; of
having inscribed his name high in the
hall of fame; of having accomplished
a great service for his commonwealth
There should also be the appreciation
of his contemporaries, and that can
best be given by reading the volume
attentively, lovingly, with admiration
and with pride Patriotism and love
for this Sunshine State cannot but be
increased greatly through perusing
this history and applying the lessons
learned to modern day conditions.
Colonel Twtichell has the conclud-
ing volume in press, 1t will deal
with events under the Mexican and
American governments and reaching
into present days, will no doubt be
fully as interesting, fully as striking
work, although it can hardly excel

spect.
Las Vegas optic., 1911-09-01

Every promise ana every preulcIioh
made as to, Colonel, R. E. Twitchell's
Leading Facts of New Mexico His
tory" are borne out by the first vol
ume just received from the Torch
Press, says the Santa Fe New Mexi-
can, in an extended editorial review
of the book. The New Mexican con-
tinues: In fact, the finished book ex-
ceeds expectations. 1t is joy to the
eye to begin with, for it is easily the
handsomest volume to find place in
the New Mexico Historical Library.
From a topographic standpoint it
could not be excelled. The beautiful
pictures are brought out to their best
advantage: the letter press is clear
and artistic; the proof reading most
painstaking and accurate.
But it is the spirit, the soul of the
book, that the New Mexican desires
especially to commend. Its more than
500 pages are the result Of many years
of research among original resources;
its illustrations are a collection of
pictures for which Europe and Ameri-
ca we're secured, although, it must
be confessed the most striking are
those of the Cliff Dwellings and the
mural paintings by Carl Lotav in the
New Mexico Museum at Santa Fe,
taken by Jesse Nusbaum of the Mu'
scum staff, and whose photograph of
a lone Indian standing on theN Puye
cliffs viewing the sun setting over
the Truchas peaks, forms a most ap-
propriate frontispiece, together with a
colored portrait of Fray Juan de Tor
ouemado But even all this is only
the framework in which the author
has breathed the breath of life. The
heroic figures that sweep across the
pages from the earliest times to the
end of the Spanish regime are not
mere puppets; they are real human
beings; the dry bones of history be-
come life, romance, without depart
ing one jot or title from the truth.
One gains a new conception of the
mighty deeds of the Conquistadores
and the martyrs without losing sight
OF the personal motives that animated
them, and the general frailties that
are the universal human lot.
For any commonwealth to have such
a chronicler is fortunate. Henceforth,
her annals have been neglected; that
New Mexico need not complain that
her mast has been clouded by the
mists of tradition. for here, in this
book. the events from the time of the
first Spanish explorers, until the day
when the Mexican flag displaced the
Spanish. are clearly set forth, are
keenlv analyzed, are summed up as it
is only possible for first class legis-
mind TO do. after reading and digest
irg the statement of facts and the
arguments on both sides. More thah
that. what is perhaps the most con-
yincing story of prehistoric times ana
review of archaeological and ethnolo-
gical theories are given in the nrs1
chapter.
The historian in this case mas
closely clung to his text and mas lol-
lowed the aphorism from Heath whlcA
finds place on the first page;
"Historians, only things OF weight
Results of persons, of affairs OF state
Briefly, with truth and clearness
should relate"

of statement, simplicity of style, and

How to Preserve a Husband.

Do you want to know how to pre-
serve husband? First be careful in
your selection. Do not choose one who
Is too young, and take only such varie-
ties, as have been reared in a good
moral atmosphere. When once the Sc
lection has been made let the past re-
main forever settled and give the en-
tire thought to the future. Some in
sist on keeping the husband in pickle,
while others seem to prefer hot water
1t does not seem to be generally known
that even poor varieties may be made
sweet, tender and good by garnishing
them with patience, smiles and affec-
ton. They should then be wrapped in
mantle Of charity and kept warm
with a steady fire Of devotion. Thus
treated. they will keep for years as
good as when first selected. Some
times they improve with age.
