ONE Of the principal reasons for the
progressive party In New Mexico IS TO
get away from bossism. They claim
that the republican party Of the state
IS run by the bosses that when there
is q convention the bosses sit in a back
room, pick out the men to be nom
mated, and let the convention for
maly nominate their choices. They
ought to know, for Gillie Otero and
Col. Prltchard, two Of the leaders Of
the progressive party, have sat in the
back room at republican conventions
for years and dictated the nomina-
tions. The way the progressive con-
vention at Belen was reported In the
New Mexican 1t would appear the
Glllie and the colonel had forgotten
their chief objection to the republican
party, but had not forgotten how to
do politics" According to the New
Mexican when the convention met
the nominations we're made by &C
%clamation, only M name being pre-
sented for each office, and neither Of
these names had been mentioned for
an office previous to the day Of the
convention. Gillie and the colonel
are still doing business In the old
fashioned manner, and the chumps
and women who came up the conven-
tlon, never catching on to the deal,
fell for It. Consistency is said to be
a jewel, but the only jewel found In
New Mexico is the turquoise.

THE BEST SERVANTS OF THE
STATE.

Heaven help Massachusetts! Her
governor-elect, Dave Walsh, "pro-
poses to call upon the lawyers to
come into the public service" because
he believes that no men have the
ability and training to Judge public
questions as men of the legal profess
sion have"
Ability? Yes; many of them
that is, keen minds accustomed to
orderly thinking. But training to
judge public questions? Not yet.
Not till their social consciences get
further awakened; not till their eyes
are cleared of the cobwebs of the
past.
For example: Professor Mikell,
head of the law school of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, drew up a
plan to simplify indictments. A life
long student of the forms of law, he
thought the 'whereases" and the
"aforesaids" of legal jargon, hocus
pocus inheritances from ancient
times, mere cluttering up of good
white paper, might we'll be cut out,
saving time, money and useless both
er
So he proposed to make indict-
ments simple statements of fact, in
plain, everyday newspaper English,
which a schoolboy could understand.
What happened? All over Penn
sylvania eminent lawyers popped up
to protest. THE dream of faddist,"
they exclaimed, would take away
the dignity which the law throws
over its procedure"
There you have the trouble dig
nifty" Not plain, direct, simple JUS
tice, made as cheap as possible, but
dignity" technicality, complexity,
labyrinth through which laymen
must be guided and fees multiplied
that is concept dearest to the legal
mind.

THE TRUE BASIS OF TRUST
BUSTING.

There are two things which the
plain folks want from the so-called
trusts. They are:
1. Better pay and fairer treat
ment of the workers; and
2. Better public service at lower
rates.
Unless trust-busting program de-
livers there results, and that rather
quickly, we fancy there are many
Americans who might, in despair of
legal methods, want to adopt Pancho
Villas remedy for monopoly in land.
You remember that, of course. He
just took the land and divided it!
His act shocked the legalists, but it
showed what is the matter in Mex
leo; and it ought to be near and
plain enough to serve us as a warn
ing.
In the boasted telephone trust
surrender" there isn't a thing which
insures either higher pay to the
workers or lower rates to the public.
Privilege gets away with all it's
fat" and at the easy cost OF simply
pr, missing no longer to defy the law
The way to raise pay and improve
service is to cut out initiation and
operate for public instead of private
good. When an administration at
Washington gets that done it will
get done something that will stay
done-and something which will in
definitely postpone the possibility OF
our ever having to fall back on the
Pancho Villa way

AN INVENTORY OF YOURSELF.

Some boys in an eastern university
have drawn up "the college students
ten commandments" nine of which
aren't important, but the tenth has
class. 1t directs the student to take
an inventory of himself at least once
month.
Take an inventory of yourself. 4"
It's easily said. What does it mean?
OF course you know what the mer-
chants inventory is at the close of
the year-a detailed list of goods in
stock with reckoning of values. So
many yards of this, so many yards
of that, at X cents a yard. There
are no subtleties in such an account
ing. BY just taking pains, the store
keeper can learn where "he is at"
to the decimal of cent.
The task is more difficult when
the thing to be measured is human
soul. You can't lay it on yard
stick or compute its constituent parts
in terms of dollars and cents.
Still, you can do this: You can
pause from time to time and ask
yourself: Have | gained in wisdom
or in kindness or in patience since
the last review? Am l neater and
sweeter and more liveable with?
Have | done something worth while?
If not, why not, and if so, how can
| improve on my achievement in the
months to Gomez"
Inasmuch as you are the one who
has to live with yourself, it might
not be bad idea to form this habit
of frequent inspection and self-analy-
sis, with view to making the asso-
| citation better worth while.

THE POT OF GOLD.

A young man Jared forth into the
| battle of life. He went a short
way and, suddenly, a rainbow ap-
peared in the heavens.
Surely" thought he, "the pot of
gold is at the foot of the rainbow" !"
So he moved on, his goal the rain
bows foot.
Long years he travelled, into many
cities, climes and experiences. Much
wisdom he learned from his journey
ings-he was wiser, ripper, than if
he had stayed home.
But he never found the foot of
the rainbow nor picked up the pot
of gold.
Do you wonder why?
1t was because he was wholly mis-
taken as to the pots location.
The pot of gold isn't at the foot
of any rainbow.
1t is wherever you happen to be.
And it can't be just casually picked
up-you've got to dig it out. Dig,
dig, sweating and aching; dig till
your back is about to break; but
dig, dig.
And then, when you have toiled
long, you may find it and you may
not; for at best the pot is uncertain,
coming easily to some, very slowly to
others, and to many never coming at
all.
But whether you find the pot or
not, the digging itself is good. 1t
keeps you out of mischief.
Besides, why should you care so
much for pot of gold, anyhow?
If you got it, the chances are it
would tarnish.

LET 1T EXPAND.

The Wall Street Journal declares
that business depression which this
country and Europe are passing
through at this time is the result Of
lack of money. Senator Root of New
York in his speech against the cur
rency bill declared that the bill
meant a tremendous initiation of cur
rency and that this would produce a
wonderful expansion of business
throughout the whole United States.
or course the senator predicted that
in the end this would be bad for the
country, but for one we are willing
to see an expanded currency If that
also means an expanding commerce.
There is never any initiation in cur
rency as long as only the amount
needed in the legitimate business is
forthcoming. This is all the new
currency law provides for.

Congressman A. p. Gardner, SON
in-law of Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, who ran in third place for
governor at the November election,
has about decided to skin it,"
When he was so badly beaten for
governor he announced that he
would retire from congress and open
an early campaign for governor. The
trouble with Gardner is that he is
a standpatter, and Massachusetts, has
become mighty progressive of late.
Mr.. Gardner evidently thinks he can
hold down seat in congress, while
his chances for governor are mighty
slim. He has held office so long It
has become first nature to him, and
he does not like to give up cinch
for n chance. 1t is amazing how
much some men like to hold office
and draw public money.

WHAT OF 1914?

Pretty nearly every person you
meet nowadays is reformer. Re-
forming is the great American pas
time; sport with never a closed
season. There has been one big
trouble with our reforming, though.
We're so eager to reform the other
fellow that we forget to give it a
try-out ourselves.
New Years used to be a time of
personal reform. It's a pity the Gus
tom hasn't kept up. Even though
good resolutions, made with the sim
cerest intent, soon fall by the way
side, tits better to have tried and
failed to turn over a new leaf than
never to have tried at all.
For the fun of the thing, let's do
a little supposing.
Suppose that in 1914 every one
of us stopped the use of strong drink,
stopped tobacco, stopped spending a
penny on vice and cut out unimpor-
tant, catchpenny amusements. Have
you an. idea what it would mean?
Well, here's one thing that it
would mean: 1t would mean enough
saved to permit the building of
1,234,100 homes costing $2,50O
apiece.
1t is fashionable in these times to
think that what we need to make life
easier and better is more legislation
lower tariffs. public control of
credits, trust busting, government
ownership of many public utilities.
We complain of the high cost of
living, and rightly, for it's absurd
that the distribution of the wealth
wrought by our wonderful inventions
should be so unequal that while a
few have infinitely more than they
need, the many have hard work to
keep afloat.
Yet how many Of us realize how
much OF the high cost of living is
really due to the cost of high living;
of cultivating taste for things we
don't need?
Take your own case, dear sir or
dear madam. Have you ever tried
the Illuminating experiment of jot-
ting down, for a sample month, a
list of all the things you have bought,
marking opposite what each cost, and
then, with blue pencil, crossing out
the items which you could very we'll
have done without?
Not only do we waste money on
trivialitiea, utthink also how large
is our waste of time and opportunity.
Never were the facilities of education
so numerous, varied or accessible as
they are today. Nevertheless, mil
lions OF us who might be studying
for greater efficiency, who might be
preparing, as Lincoln prepared, to
climb up from poverty, up from
handicaps, are living on a dead level,
content merely to work, play and
sleep, our tomorrows just like our
yesterdays and todays.
SO we suspect. that 1914 is going
10 be pretty much the kind OF year
you make it.

MUZZLING THE MINISTRY.

He preached socialism in his SER
mons and high officials of the West
inghouse company objected. The
bishop has unfrocked him."
Thus reads a dispatch about an
Episcopal rector in Wilmerding, Pa.
Poor man, he should have known
better. The men who pay the big
pew rents don't want disturbing
preaching. They want soft lights,
good music and carefully denatured
generalities without any sting.
But if he really have message
which the soul in him cannot bottle
up, the unfrocking will be like Cata-
lines What's banished
but set free?"
That which is queer about this
case, if the facts are as stated, is
that the bishop should be so quick to
serve notice of muzzled ministry.
1t won't, of course, stop the preach
ing of socialism or any other ism.
1t will simply add to the gap between
muzzled ministries and freedom.
The bishop probably hasn't read
history carefully else he would know
that muzzles don't muzzle. Suppress
freedom in one place and it will
burst out in another. The surest way
to advance socialism is to put it un-
der a ban. The quickest way to
wreck a church is to advertise that
1t is a property of privilege.

Really, as much as we could like
to do it, we cannot charge Ascent
eggs to the cold storage crowd. It
is an awful price, as cents for twelve
white or brown eggs, and it seems
almost crime to ask that sum, but
in the large cities the price has gone
to dollar, so we hear. The trouble
has been that the blooming hens, all
over the country, have refused to do
business. They have been on a
strike. Time was when hens were
not expected to lay eggs during the
winter months; II they only got in a
bushel OF eggs for Easter nothing
was thought OF their winter vacation.
or late years they have been doing
better than that, but for some reason
they seem to have gone back to the
old system and so far this winter
have loafed on the Job.

ter wheat represents an unusually
large acreage and is in better shape
now than it has been at this time of
year for a decade or more. The
January payments of interest and
dividends will be very heavy, because
nearly all American securities are
now held in this country. Hard

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

Two women were chatting over
their crochet work, few days ago.
and one of them, who was a fine
musician, and who gave concerts or
casionally, remarked that she had
probably, in the ten years of her mar
ried life, earned $4,000 with her
music not as a profession, but lust
as an amateur who was able to COM
mercialize her talent.
The other woman was thoughtfuI
and finally said, with a sigh, 81 wish
had some means of earning money.
should think that Billy would feel
dlsgusted with me, when he hears of
other women that are clever enough
to earn money"
Now for the sake of the women
who feel this way 1 am going to
speak few plain facts. The woman
who was musical and temperamental
always employed help in her home,
otherwise it would have been impos-
sible for her to have achieved any
success with her music.
That is all right. The woman who
has any special talent should have
the opportunity to cultivate it,
whether that talent be music, or art,
or literature, or cake-baking,' or
whatever it be.
The husband of the woman who
had earned $4,000 in ten years was
no better off financially than if she
had earned nothing at all. The hus-
band of the woman who sighed that
she was incapable of earning money
had been able to pay for home and
soak down a comfortable sum in safe
investment-and his income was no
larger than that of the other man,
nor his opportunities greater, nor his
business sense more acute.

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-The un-
employed situation here was greatly

men to work Wednesday

Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-01-15

But the woman whose business it
is to make a home, the woman who
has the strength and the courage and
the ability to do the bulk of the work
in the home with her own two hands,
has rare talent that should not be
overlooked or made light of.
The woman / have in mind, who
sighed that she had never earned any
money, has an earning capacity that
far exceeds that Of any dabbler in
the arts that l know aught of.
She is, perhaps, an exceptional
character. Her family is kept in
state of contentment, well fed, men
tally and physically. She has a
bright mind, and she is not above
applying her intelligence to the So
luton of the high cost of living. She
does her own work, is fine cook,
good housekeeper, an ideal wife and
mother and companion, and her busy
hands are always obeying the man
dates of her generous heart, and do
ing for others outside her own
household.
AS / said she may be-undoubt-
edly is-an exceptional woman; yet
there are many more women of her
sort who are daily earning actual
money by eliminating waste and by
working with their hands; women
who, like her, would probably sigh
and say, If questioned upon the sub
ject, "No, ! have never earned any
money in my life"

To the woman who said that she
had never earned any money belongs
the credit for the difference. She
was earning by saving, every day that
she lived. Her capable hands were
earning money just as surely as
though they had been tripping over
the piano, or welding a pen or
paint brush.
This is in no sense a criticism of
the temperamentalists But it is apt
to be true, that people who live in
clouds, and who rarely touch the
commonplace things of life, are not
practical and economical The wom-
an who can transport an audience
into a heaven of delight with Bach's
Fugue, or Griegs Morning Song, or
Beethovens Sonata, or who can paint
a picture in print or on canvas, rare
ly has the faculty of keeping tab on
