MEXICAN NOTE coMcILIAroRy

The reply Of Gen. Carranza to
the two latest American notes reach
ed Washington last week. The tone
Of the Documents said to be unex-
pectedly humble. The note, believed
to have been dictated by Carranza
himself, renews assurances that
adequate forces Of the de facto Gov
eminent are engaged in suppressing
brigandage in Northern Mexico and
protecting the international line;
suggests that the presence of Amer
lean troops aggravates rather than
helps matters, and paves the way
for resumption of discussions in
regard to a border protection pro-
tocol, the subject of the first notes
which passed between the two Gov
ernments.
The de facto Government an
nounces that it has accepted in
principle meditation suggestions
from other American republics, and
invites the United States likewise to
record itself. There is no proposal
that the question at issue be sub
mitted to meditation, however, and
on the contrary it is observed that
settlement might better be reach
ed through direct negotiations be-
tween the governments interested
and best informed.
1t is said that no reference is
made to the attitude of Gen. Car
rama in regard to the Trevino or
der that American troops would be
opposed in any further movement
except in a northerly direction.

PUBLISHER MUST RAISE;
HAS NO ALTERNATIVE

The paper situation shows nc
signs of returning to normal con-
ditions and publishers must ad-
vance advertising and circulation
prices in proportion to the raise in
paper prices, according to a
statement issued by the department
of journalism of the University Of
Kansas. The statement in full is
as follows:
Newspaper advertisers and read
ers should prepare themselves fol-
an increase in both departments of
the daily press if countrywide con-
ditions are any indications. The
European war has already forced
New York papers to sell on non
returnable basis. This means that
the carrier or newsboy who pur-
chases papers is not permitted tc
return those which he does not sell
and receive a rebate. Other papers
have increased their prices from one
and two cents per copy to five cents
and now the big paper mills declare
they see no avenue of escape from
still further increases. ".~'ssa
"0ne instance of the effect the
war is having on the price of paper
is that cellulose, a fibrous matter
produced from cotton and linen
rags and wood pulp and the basis
of all kinds of paper is now i'll
great demand by the munition fac
tories of this country for the man

prices for this material and as a
consequence paper mills have been
compelled to keep on even terms in

OUR NATIONAL HONOR

This is a time when every citizen
of the United States, either native
or foreign born, should rally to the
flag of his country. Whether it be
by the bearing of arms or by the
expressions of loyalty in sentiment
and action, our country should
have the undivided support of ev-
cry person. 1t is not the time for
haggling or criticism or for the in
diligence in political juggling Of the
interests of the people.
We want unity of purpose and of
action by a united people and fo1
a united people, and nothing else.
When the national honor and the
protection of the lives and proper
ty rights of our people are in jeo-
pardy political considerations and
party strife should be relegated to
the rear, leaving in its wake ma
ton welded together by the chains
of an unquenchable fire of. patriot
ism.
Our national honor is in the bal

any cost and under all circum-

Where We Fail

There is little use in bringing people to
Santa Fe to see the sights OF the country"
said an officer Of the Santa Re raiiroad com
pany some time ago, unless the people Of
your city wake up to the vital necessity of
hating roads for the tourists to travel on
after they get here. Out In Los Angles they
are spending 10000 a mile on highways
for the benefit Of the tourists. How often
does Santa Fe spend $500 or $1,000 a mile
for the same purpose?" .
The road proposition is NOT 80 staggering
when 1t is ~anaylzed. A good road to the
Pecos, to Taos, to the Jemez country and to
the Frijoles would fix us up for the present.
What IS needed is a systematic, steady.
well-defined community plan Of road build
ing and maintenance. We occasionally
have a spasm and get a few miles Of road
liked and then forget it until the next
spasm.

Ignorance Persists

That every one In the east, however, has
not yet realized that New Mexico Is a part
of the United States is still apparent. On
ly a year or two ago a santa Fean Is said
to have received a letter from a razor
manufacturing company stating that the
razor would be shipped but the buyer must
attend to the duty. About the most sensar
tional example of geographical Ignorance
is attributed to several Boston school teach,
ers who, a few years ago, we're in a curiOi
shop here and asked the dealer how much
the duty would be on New Mexico blankets
shipped to Boston. This break would hove
been considered almost objectionable in the
average school teacher but in one from Bos-
ton-it was positively shocking to the curiO
man who still whispers it as az example
of New Mexico's need of publicity prepared
ness.
