CONFESSION AND APOLOGY

! Here is President Wilson's own statement
concerning the so-callel eigft-hour law re
Gently passed by congress:
1T is to he regretted that the session .o,ll
mot h2Hr continued long enough to complete
the program recently projected with regard
Ito tic accommodation u( labor disputes be-
tween the railways and ;,c r%fup10yc, but IT
was not ,tasille in the cir 11nstanccs to con-
tinue the session any lon"cr and therefore
only the most Immediately pressing parts Of
the program could be completed.
"lhe rest, it is agreed, has n,efcly been
postponed until it can be more mat'1rclv de-
liberated and perfected. ] have every reason
to believe that it is The purpose Of the leaders
Of the two houses Immediately upon the reas-
sernbling of congress to undertake this addi-
tional legislation. 1t is evident that the coun-
try should be relieved of the anxiety which
must have been created by recent events with
regard to the future accommodation of such
disputes"
President Wilson is entitled to whatev'
credit belongs to a sincere confession and de-
cent apology.
The law that some democrats are parading
as a settlement of the strike" is exactly what
the president says it is, a postponement, under
the stress of political necessity of great crisis
until after the presidential election.

country. The New Mexican neglected, however
to note the fact that practically all the infor-

verbatim from the New Mexico Red Book, is

In Mr.. A. A. Jones' acceptance speech be-

eral illusions to the great pleasure it had been
to him to serve the people of New Mexico
while in Washington. Aside from referring
letters from public land %entrymen to a third
rate clerk, whose duty it was to look up the
status of their cases in the general land office.

not discovered anything that Mr.. Jones did for
the people of New Mexico, aside, of course,
from what Mr.. Jones did for himself-per-
haps that is what he was referring to and
which gave him so much pleasure.

~. "iirsioncrs for the past five years has pro
badly been more economical than that OF an,
other county of Ike elias, IN the state. w,
have interviewed a nunLor Of citizens during
The past week on this subject and the only
criticism we have been able TO find is that the
board has been too close-fistcd to suit some
citizens in not making greater levies for road
purposes. On investigation we find that fur
tller leyies were not r7ade because Il c county
commissioners did not feel that the county
road board could be trusted. The road board
made such a poor showing with the funds at
its disposal early in its administration that
the county commissioners were justified in not
providing any more.

after themselves.
