Millions Of acres have been
homesteaded which should new,
er have been, because the emit
rants haYe either made failure
or they have been compelled to
lease or purchase adjoining
lands in large areas. The states
haven't secured taxable, or even
satisfied settlers.
But a congressman must fol-
low his foolish bept.p
We are well aware Of the fact
that in many sections of the
southwest more than GAO acres
OF land would be needed for an
ordinary family to make a liv-
ing on if he depended entirely
on one thing, either farming or
stock raising But where the
entryman combines stock rails
ing with farming and silos,
there are comparatively few
sections in New Mexico that the
ordinary sized, Industrious fam
lily, by raising some feed togeth-
er with their cattle, horses,
sheepSgoats and chickens, etc,
can not make a good, honest
living for himself aid family.
Now as TO the federal govern
ment giving this land to the
states, we wish to call the at
tention of the readers to the
fact that THIS proposition also
has two sides. We do not deny
that it could be sold as the
Journal says, in large tracts for
not less than 81 90 per acre ne.

naturally create great school

The twenty three million
acres would probably be pur-
chased in hundred thousand acre
tracts by the cattlemen, thereby
making about two hundred and
thirty ranches, these ranches
would employ about four big
strong single COW boys to run
the outfit, making total of
about nine hundred and twenty
men employed on this vast pub
lie domain of twenty three mil
lion acres. These nine hundred
and twenty boys have little use

PRESIDENT WILSON BEFORE

Baltimore, Mr., Sept. 25.-Presi-

commerce can be expanded, he told
his audience of 5000, through the
new tariff commission, trade commits
sion, federal reserve act, shipping
bill and similar measures, he ex-
pected the business men to open a
new era for the nation. "The pur-
pose of legislation for the immediate
future" he declared, "is going to be
the removal of ingenious construc-
tions and make perfectly clear what
the liberties as we'll as restrictions of
trade are"
Every effort was made to keep his
visit nonpaTtisan, but four-minute
demonstrate greeted the president
The band playing Dixie added to the
demonstration. A regret that poll
tics might interfere with a discus
sion of the problems facing Ameri-
can business was expressed.
He declared he. had supreme
contempt for partisan action" al
thought he believed in party
action"
OF Latin America he said his
chief concern" had been to see that
nothing was done that did not show
friendship and good faith on our
part.
The cooperation of the govern
ment, businessmen and employees was
urged as the only way the United
States could meet the competition of
the world. my dream" he declared,
lis that she take her place in the
great field in new spirit which the
world have never seen, not the spirit
OF those who would exclude others,
but in a spirit who would excel

He said until the new banking
and shipping laws had been passed,
the hands of the American business
men had been tied.
The presidents ideals for a new
tariff commission were discussed. He
said he hoped he would find men for
the commission who could "see facts
and state them, no matter whose
opinion the facts contradict"

Taken the Eenemy's Measure

With a steadiness nearly equal to
that of the German advance into
France in the first days of the war,
the British and French push forward
through the western German line.
What does it mean? The allies have
apparently unlimited munitions.
Their artillery blasts the way
through the German trenches with
out pause. They have unlimited
men, or else the Germans have been
forced to weaken their lines. The
much discussed armed motor car
which crawls through barbed wire
entanglements, surmounts she'll crat-
ers and bridges trenches is seeming
ly enabling the allied forces to
charge across the bullet swept zones
in apparent security. Then there is
the general increase of military skill.
This must add most materially to
the advantage of the British. After
two years the British army should
have an efficiency comparable to the
Germans at the beginning For any
or all of these reasons, TIE allied
armies in France show more sign of
having taken the measure Of their
opponents than at any previous stage
of the war.

Miles Poindexter, Republican

Miles Poindexter, Republican
The Republican primaries in the
State of Washington have resulted
in the denomination of Senator Miles
Polndexter, who is the only man
ever carried on the roster of the
Senate as a Progressive. He dis
carded that designation, however
after a brief period of wearing it;
and he entered the Republican pri-
maries as a straight Republican.
His success may be taken as fur
ther proof of the complete reunion
of Republicansim, in which the past
is as if it never had been. When
Senator Poindexter became a candi-
date for denomination he did so as a
Republican; and nobody questioned
his essential right to be in the party
or to seek its honors. He contested
with a regular of the strictest sect,
but nobody sought to differentiate be-
tween the two. Both were Republi-
cans; both are Republicans.
To be Republican this year
means to support Hughes and Fair
banks and to believe in the declara-
tions of the Chicago platform. No
body has any right to impose any
other conditions, and Miles Poindext-
er had to exhibit no other credent-
ials. His name will remain in the
list of United States Senators, and
attached to it will be the designa-
tion, Republican"
