If a woman not living with

AN ABLE DISCUSSION

The article by Senator Fall, re-
printed yesterday from the current
number of Leslie's, is worthy of the
most careful consideration, The SEN
ator is man whose knowledge of
Mexican affairs is gained at first hand
and he is thoroughly competent to
judge what is best for the distressed
country across the line, SO far as any
one man can judge.
The discussion entered into in this
article is not biased nor is it exag-
gerated in any respect. The whole
effort is a conservative and sane one.
1t contains no fireworks. From a
plain, matter cf TACT statement Of con-
ditions he uIaws logical conclusions.
The article seems TO us to evidence
sound common sense and the most
simple and effective policy in regard
to the southern repubne.
What effect the Intervention the
senator mentions might have upon the
Industries of the country is beside
the question. The main issue is peace
and the remedy he proposes would
produce it promptly. Eventually the
Mexican would be left free to handle
his governmental affairs in his own
way, but by that time he would have
learned much from the American
methods and would doubtless lay
aside the present plan of reforming
Objectionable rulers with Mausers.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Prospects of cool

throughout the west in the advance of
corn. Nevertheless the market went
little above the high price of the

the fact that there had as yet been no
general relief from drought or heat
and that country holders gave no sign
Of letting go Of reserves. The open

THE DAILY POEM

Summer Dips
Together in the rolling sea,
They went in bathing, she and he.
'sI love you, dearest one he said.
Said she, Don't get beyond your
head"
She wore fetching bathing suit
Most beautiful she looked, and cute.
He sighed, "Your heart ] want to
keep"
She answered, "My it's getting deep!"
And, as the waves about them play'd,
'Tis thus he pleaded with the maid:
"My love, dear girl, pray never doubt.
And her reply was, please swim out"
He led her safely to the shore.
She smiled and said ,"Well, au
revoir!
/ thank you for my bathing trip"
Next day she had another dip"

PROBE CHARITY COST

: + + : = = = s% , 2 =
Why s1S.OO,OOO for charity, and also
where, whence and how. these are to
be probed after fashion by the or
ganization representing Chicago's bus
mess, the most important outcome
promised being illumination of the
reasons why charity is necessary at
all in a city of millions. The bodies
through which the charities are dis
pensed are to be investigated first
with the purpose Of requiring an Off
cial 0. X. if any organization is sue
cessfully to solicit funds in the name
OF charity. Every director and super
intendent will be summoned to tell
the needs of his organization, where
the money comes from and how it is
spent. Experts will be carried in to
tell whether some of the charities ov-
erlap upon others and whether the
institutions for the care of unfortun-
ates should be increased or decreased.
1t is planned to make this a great pow
WOW of useful information to prevent
over-spending on the poor and will not
slight any woman's club, mans club,
trades union, church, fraternal society
or Y. M. C. A. which may wish to ex-
press an opinion on the subject Of
poverty and what it COSTS The inves-
tigation will be under the auspices of
the institution which Rockefeller has
given so many millions and is to be un-
der the direction of Dr. Charles R.
Henderson of that institution. The in.
quiry will extend to disasters, such as
floods, which call for extraordinary
gifts. Whether the enemies of the
protective tariff will be given the op-
portunity to be heard on their views
| that poverty is the inevitable result
of protection, and whether the single
takers will be given the chance to talk
single tax as the relief of the econ
omic conditions which produce the
rich and the poor, these will be deter
mined by representative business men
of the organization which has institut-
ed the inquiry. The free traders and
single takers are holding their breaths
in their leisure moments, in hopeful
expectancy Of what may transpire

THANKS !!

We want to express our sincere ap-
probation of the endorsement given
by the Albuquerqeu Evening Herald
for the State Good Roads Day idea
emanating from this city few days
ago, The Herald has taken the atti
tude on this question that we wanted
it to take, indeed, knowing Brother
johnson, the only attitude we could
have believed it would take.
This is a state movement, however,
and Las Vegas will claim no more
than the credit of giving it publicity
first. Every city and town in the state
is cordially invited to join in the
movement and make this day the big
gest and the best that has ever been
known in New Mexico DR.. w. T.
Brown Of Valmora initiated the idea.
Give the credit to him. He doesn't
need it, for he is big braWny chap
and will be out on the road on Septem-
Der 10 along with the rest of us com.
mon geezers, but anyway, hand him
the glory, All Las Vegas wants credit
for is being the place where the idea
was started and where a fertile soil
was prepared for its growth.
We heartily commend the Herald
'or its stand on Mis matter and hope
hat other papers over the state, re-
Of politics, past, present or
uture, or past or existing condition

The FIerald's editorial eommenda-
ion Of the plan is as follows;
Good Roads Day
"I.as Vegas has shown signs of con-
siderable enterprise of late, not the
east of which signs, we will state in
III candor, is the taking out from un-
ler Albuoueroue IS nose of the Lubin
Motion Picture company's troupe now

Las Vegas latest contribution is a
suggestion that September 10 be OBJ
served as Good Roads Day" in New
Mexico and Las Vegas and San Mi
guel county, it is understood, are going
to have one whether the rest Of the
state follows suit or not.
THE Herald recommends that Alou-
querque, Santa Fe, Ration and every
other city and town In the state fall in
behind this protosition and that New
Mexico on the date suggested have a
Good Roads Day which will set new
record for boosting enthusiasm in the
southwest. We are away behind other
neighboring states, especially In the
middle west, where Good Roads Day
has become permanent institution
and a most successful one Hardly a

SATURDAY. AUGUST 16, 1918.
THAT ROAD

Very gently, without hurting any
ones feelings or raising any angry
passions or criticising anyone at all
the Optic wishes to call attention tc
the road which leads OUT Grand ave
nue. to the Sapello bridge, commonly
known as the New Mora road.
This road was impassabie until &
Few weeks ago because it lacked somt
bridges. Now it has two fine ones
where they are most needed, the one
at Azul having been only recently
completed. The highway has been
used some and Is badly rutted. The
rutting, however, is Of such nature
that grader could easily place the
entire stretch of road in excellent
shape within very short time. The
expense of installing Drain tile, which
are provided already, and of doing
this grading will be small.
There has been no work done on
this road in three years, OF practic-
ally none since it was built. To think
that there is any road leading out Of
Las Vegas which has been neglected
to the tender mercies of wagon tires,
wind and weather for so long a time
Is a disgrace. It is time this one was
fixed up.
The road throughout its entire
length is devoid Of any very heavy
grades. it follows the highlands (if it
had not been laid out there it would !
have washed away long ago) and the |
material Of which it is made, the nat |
ural soil, is excellent for road build
ing.
AS it stands, it is so much idle In
vestment. Mr. Las Vegas Business
Man, how much Idle stock do you
figure you can carry and still make
a profit? Mr.. Las Vegas Real Estate
Man. how long can you let capital lie
idle and make money? This road is
a parallel case. 1t is up to Las Vegas
to get that road fixed or to let the
total Investment made in its building
and in the erection of two fine bridges
go to waste. How long can Las Vegas
waste money like that? How long can
San Miguel county waste money like
that without raising your taxes
These are hard questions, Mr.. Man,
only SO long as you decline to face
them. Look at the matter squarely
and you win see that the solution is
a simple one. We can tell you what
it is in three words, Here they are:
Fix that road.
To do SO at once viii be economy.
TO wait until later is to fail to do so
at all, for the road will be in such
shape from increased use that it will
have to be rebuilt. practlcal.y.
This road was located by an official
of the state engineers office. It was
laiu along the most practicable and
easiest route. The grades are the
lowest that can be obtained Every
freight hauler and every autoist
knows what difference grades make.
