Santa Fe, N. M. April IA, The
first real tests of political siren
9Th in New Mexico this year
have resulted in Democratic vic
tories. In the municipal elections
at Albuquerque and Ration, which
were bitterly contested Demo
cratic mayors and other city
officials were elected, and at
Gallup big inroads were made
on Republican control, the Demo
Gratis electing two of the five
town trustees and the town
treasure, and defeating a $50, 600
bond issue for municipal purpose
on the ground that it was uncall-
ed for and Unnecessary.
In Ration DR.. j. j. Shuler,
Democratic mayor, who has
given the Gate City a splendid
water system, a municipal build
ing, a park system and other
modern Improvements, was re-
elected by a majority Of 140, de-
feating Republican canidate
backed by the Van Houten-Sprin-
ger combination, representing
the strongest G. O. p interests
in Colfax County, and one of the
strongest county organizations
in the state. The Van Houten-
Springer interests were vitally
concerned in the fight, as they
control the present electric light
and power plant in Ration, and
the reelection of Shuler un-
doubtedly means the establish
ment of a municipality owned
lighting and power system. In
addition to Shuler, all the other
Democratic candidates, with the
exception of one councilman,
were victorious, the new council
stands seven Democrats to one
Republican.
In the face of strenuous oppO-
sition on the part of the Republi-
can leaders Of the county as well
as the city, Henery Westerfeld
Democrat, was elected mayor of
Albuquerque, defeating Mayor
d, HI. Boatright, the Republican
candidate. The Democrats lalso
elected the city treasure and two
alderman, and the council is now
Democratic,
A G. 0. P. split has developed
at Gallup, where the organic
alton" was ignored in the selec-
ton Of some of the Republican
candidates, and as a result the
Democrats Of Mckinley county
expect to show surprising gains
at the general election this year.
Clayton elected a Democratic
mayor, 7. H. Rixey defeating
H. ]. Hammond the Republican
candidate. Hammond is presi-

Regulating demand by the price,
or allowing it to be so regulated, en-
tails great suffering, especially in
country at war. The Women's Co.
operative Guild in England has
found that a great many young
women. earning wages and rearing
children under war conditions, are
not getting enough to eat. But side
by side with these are others who are
getting more than ever before. Miss
Towers, warden of the Canning
Town Women's Settlement, fms
conditions very much mixed. Some
people have meat who never had it
before, and others live on bread and
margarine. There is the question IF
scarcity again. Some kinds of labor
have risen abnormally in price, by
reason of being scarce and in great
demand, and other kinds of labor Is
worse paid, even though receiving
the same wage as before, because
the purchasing power Of the shilling
has fallen, or, to put it another way,
prices have risen. Such is war again.
In Germany people are all on ra-
tons, because there is not enough
food TO 90 around in the quantities
normally consumed; but Germany Is
the best market in the world for dia-
monds. In all the war countries eX-
travagance and suffering are side by
side. The waste of war j; to some
the source Of sudden profit and 70
others cause Of want. BY the vase
Of war some are made suddenly ricl
and many are made poor. The Eng
lish artisan who is lucky enough to
have got his wages raised in NUM-
tons work, because his kind of labor
was scarce, will no more forego that
advantage than the shipowner will
forego his abnormal profit.

Moral Uplift in Russia.

A bill drafted by the Russian Min
istry of Justice and already approved
by the Council of Ministers providing
punishments for corruption, usury,
fraud and special abuses in connection
with military contracts and deliveries
is notable in many respects. 1t shows,
in the words of the "Novoe Vremya."
that rapacity. Russia's national calam-
ity, a canker in the organism of Rus
sian officialdom, so sedulously guarded
in its inviolability by the notorious ad-
ministrative guarantee, has now passed
into public and private organizations,
which have been called to life in such
abundance by the war. Isolated ex-
amples could not have moved the
Ministry of Justice TO the drafting and
introduction (summarily nj that Of
the new bill directed to the struggle
with rascality OF this description and
importing into the juridical construc-
ton of extortion and official abuses

there must have been reasons Of broad

cases. That the passion for gain by
whatsoever means has taken posses
sion Of wide circles in Russia during
the war is we'll known fact disputed
by none. II is just as though hcroism
and baseness constituted two inevitable
concomitant principles OF the public
life, mutually ncutralizng each other.

Wall Street never gives away Its
railroad stocks when the cult of dis
content is crying ruin; nor does It
buy them on any official representa-
ton of future prosperity. It's way
with railroad shares is perverse and
inscrutable. 1t let them alone during
the struggle over the eight-hour law;
last week it took hold of them sud
denly, for purposes of speculation
purely, and was surprised at the
ease with which prices advanced.
Gains of 8 to 7 points occurred
through the list in three days. This
demonstration, which was not alto
pcther spontaneous, conceded \

Commerce Commissions summary OF
earnings for the fiscal year ended

what everybody already knew IN i
general way, namely, that earnings
in the last fiscal year were the larg-

Monday, September Is, 191G.

There is a violent reaction from
the talk Of ruin and insolvency with
which the railroad presidents have
been filing the land for many weeks.
II the transportation industry of
this country there is what might be
called an official cult Of discomfort.
II is composed of regulars, irregulars
end loose joiners who fall in and
fall out again. The regulars are
those who disbelieve in regulation,
who resent any symptom of popular
curiosity about the mysteries of rail-
reading, and would be satisfied with
nothing short of a return to the time
when railroads reduced themselves to
penury by rate wars and immoral
rebates, and were free to pursue
bankruptcy in their own way. The
irregulars are those who are some
times saved by a sense of humor.
The loose joiners are more trouble
some. When there is something like
the eight-hour law to figh, they join
in and add their lamentations to the
pile; but when it is over, no matter
how, they backslide and have glim-
mering of faith in their own proper
ties. Then it happens that one tune
overlaps the other-the prophets Of
evil 90 on with their maledictions
while those that have fallen out Of
the cult make cheerful sounds. Thus,
last week one Western president was
talking of the anarchy into which
democracy had fallen, on account OF
the eight-hour legislation, while ut
the same time the president OF a
great Northwestern road was saying
that this would be a fine year for
railroad earnings, Notwithstanding
the failure Of spring wheat.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-18

People cannot understand VIII
anybody should be better off in these
circumstances. If it is true, as the
economists say, that high prices are
owing to scarcity, why are so many
people richer than ever before? Wig
are the poor unable to buy enough
to eat while a few make enormous
profits out of the war? The British
government, among its other per-
plexities, must try to account 1o-
this, and its difficulties are increased
enormously because nobody very
clearly understands it and there is
much confusion of scientific thought
On the subject. A writer in "The
London Economist" for instance,
undertakes to prove that there are
no corners" in London, that the rise
in the price of the loaf is owing 10
the rise in wheat, and that the Use
in wheat is owing to the fact that
the chief exporting countries, Amerl-
ca and Canada, have experienced
something approaching a semi-fa:l-
ure in their wheat crops, and that
Europe must look elsewhere for over
80 per cent Of its requirements; and
then, straightaway, he begins 20
denounce the Chicago spectators
whose gambling operations have
made the price of whel; to rise.
There is very little difference, in
fact, between the stomach of an
economist and that of a British pen
sioner, and when they are touched
in that place both Of them feel alike.
All through the British press is run
ming bitter comment on the explolta-
ton Of Great Britain's food necessl-
ties by neutrals, and especially on
the part spectators are believed 20
have played In the rise IN the price
of American wheat. But if the Chi
cago wheat pit were abolished, either
the price of wheat would be as high
as it is or Europe would be buying
it away from us for less than it is
worth. The only means we have of
protecting our own supply is by ad-
vancing the price; that is the natu-
raj economic method. And the Brit
ish government, even in dealing with
her own food problem, has found no
other way as yet to reduce consump-
ton. One reason why the Board of
Trade has not acted is that it has
trusted the cost of food to reduce the
consumption.
