WANT WAR, NIT WILL NOT

There has been constant criticism
Of President Wilson for alleged weak
ness in dealing with the Mexican sit
nation. Now we are to have war with
the Mexican people, not with gov
eminent In Mexico.
We now shall see Just how readily
the critics OF the president win re-
spond TO d call TO arms Such call is
sure to be made, and soon. 1t is need
less TO say that there would have beer.

more promptly with greater flrmness.
ANY time the president would have
crossed the border, except when no
occupied Vera CRUZ, which was not

dition for the seizure of the oil fields

Furthermore. there never has been
a moment, since the Mexican troubles
began, when the United States was SO

never time when the Mexieans could
offer so little resistance. The post

ABOLISHING Personal TAXES.

tGdIlullSkN lAtSlSltll
Chicago is said to have definitely
abandoned trying to collect personal
taxes amounting to less than twenty
five dollars year. 1t has found that
the expense of collecting such taxes
is more than the receipts. Many other
cities have had the same experience,
although most of them still keep up
the pretense of taxing all personal
property, accepting such money as
comes easily and ignoring the rest.
New York has drifted into the prac-
tice of assessing the personal prop
erty of citizens known to be wealthy,
ana ignoring the rest-which means
that the vast majority Of citizens in
New York are not even asked to pay
personal taxes.
The tendency all over the country is
in the same direction. 1t is felt more
and more that at least the goods a
family gathers for the making of q
home should be exempt. A time may
soon come when no personal possess
ions whatever will be taxed except
business Investments. And we may go
beyond that. There is a marked dlspo-
sition, both in the United States and in
Canada to lesson the burden now laid
on realty Improvements. New York
lis thinking of changing the taxation
laws TO permit the taxing of buildings
at lower rate than land. That might
lead TO a general "untaXing of i'm
prayements."

up no ALBUQUERQUE.

The drive for subscriptions to the
state fair begins this morning, ana
Albuquerque expects every man TO 90
his duty. 10 insure success, more
money must he raised this year than
was subscribed last year. We have
10 Robert H. Putncy at the head Of
the state fair board, abba TO put up
Sg.s0O to wipe out deficit.
Mr. putney expected the deficit, an0
was willing to pay the price to DEM
onstrate what New Mexico state fair
should be. MIR. Southland, who has
all OF Mr.. Putneys energy and ability
TO do things, Is determined to make
na good fair as last year In all re-
epects. and better one in many re-
spects, and to leave no deficit for any
one to make good. He knows, as Mr..
putncy stated when he retired, that a
better state fair than last year can
be held for less money. The organ
ization work. which cost SO much last
year Is doing splendid service this
year But Albuquerque and Bernalillo
county must come through stronger
this year than last. II there Is TO be
really successful fair, and no deficit.
Albuquerque Ia unusually prosper
oua. The people have made money
during the past year, aud they have
mot been called upon for moro than
usual giving. They are able 10 give,
willing 70 give when there is neces-
sity. The future Of the fair demands
imperatively that the giving be on a
generous scale this year.
The feeling Is general now that ey-
cry man who Is able VIII do his part
which must be more than was done

This Is no fanciful sketch, drawn
from the Imagination Of this writer
for the purpose OF pointing n moral
or adjoining a tale, but q veraci0us re-
port Of a conversation which occurred
IN the city Of Albuquerque last sun
day. He not only does not intend to
fight for his country but he does not
intend that his son. when grown TO
manhood, shall fight for his country
should occasion arise There are 9TH
ers now, as there win be others when
his son is grown up, TO do all the
fighting and dying.

against Wilson because the president
had not seen fit at an earlier date 70

against bigger and better equipped
Mexican armies when there was real
ground for hope that the trouble
might be settled without the shedding
Of blood.
Furthermore, this well-to-do, able
bodied young business man Of Albu-
querque Is no Isolated example. He
is one of a very numerous class who
want war, but want other people and
other peoples sons to do the fighting
and the suffering.

REMAINING MEN,

A man who has much to do with
skilled craftsmanship and who, in the
course or each year. hires hundreds OF
men for a line of stores, says that the
policy of his company, as laid out by
! ts founder, Is not to discharge in
competent men, off-hand, but TO build
them over. In the expressive Ian
gunge Of this expert. ut is cheaper to
'build' men than to fire them"
Evidently here is "a man with an
idea IN efficiency n the man under
him is found not to be Just Tlght-a
round peg improperly adjusted to a
square hole-he is not thrown out, II
It can he helped. Every person" he
says, and truly, is likely to be "A spe-
clalIst in something Your wrongly
placed mans specially may he ex-
tremely valuable to the company.

This principle has produced SPLEEN

sums up the results In the following
words. "lcair-to-middllng bookkeep-
ers have been Transmitted into strong

As the Journal pointed out some
time ago. summarizing Il report from
an Illinois state agricultural expert
ment station scientists, after discov-
ering a perfectly balanced ration for
dniry COWS, found that the cows did
not give as much milk as In reason
they should. Further investigation
disclosed the fact that the trouble was
lack of palatability. The COWS didn't
relish the food though they ate it,
a flavoring was added to the food and
the mild yield was at once all that
the scientists had hoped for at the
beginning.
Many man, many a woman, has
made failure of life because there
was lack Of palatabllity In the work

With Scissors and Paste

tBoalOn TranscrlptD


In olden times there was much
more exigent exercise of the editorial
function Magazine editors usurped
the right to do as they chose with
word phrase or opinion Of even their
most distinguished contributors. They
obviously looked upon themselves ms
ccnsors Of style and arbiters of taste,
( IN 1853 Lowell is quoted as writing to
Norton about his editorial task on the
9tlantic Monthly:
Il cannot stand the worry OF it
much longer without lieutenant TO
have questions Of style, grammar and
punctuation in other peoples articles
to decide, while | want all my con
lceutfation for what / am writing my
Iself-to have added to this, personal
appeals from ill-mannered correspond

ed, to attend toto sit ut work some
times ID hours a day. as | have done
lutely makes me very nervous, takes
away my pluck, compele my neglect
ing my friends and induces the old
fits of blues. TO be editor is almost
Jas bad as being president
When he came to edit the North
American Review he asked his con-
tributors to agree with him only in
politics. but he proved that neither
consistency nor a good memory was
his forte, for little later we find him
writing to stedman:
81 shall take the liberty to make a
verbal change here and there, such as
4 am sure you would agree to, could
we talk this matter over. ] think. for
example, You speak rather too well of
young Lytton, whom | regard both as
an imposter and as an antinomian he
.retie. Swinburne | must modify a lit
tie, as you viii see to make the Re-
view consistent with itself. But YOU
need not be afraid of not knowing
your own child again"
Even though Lowell was himself
poet and critic, It is obvious that the
temptation to WELD the blue pencil
was strong within him when he sat in
the editorial chair.

SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

A man who is old enough to know
better asks the Journal what Wilson
has done with all Of the money col
lected during the past two years as a
war tax, lie thinks the administration
has displayed great weakness and
carelessness in not having more Of an
army and a navy TO show for It, The
queer part OF il all is that the man
making the inquiry is In dead earnest
Also he pays a considerable amount
Of war tax himself, because he is a
business man Of standing.
Tho war tax" was not imposed for
the purpose Of preparing for war, but
because the European war cut off the
imports, thus depriving this nation OF
"A large part OF its revenues from im-
port duties, Hence the origin of the
term war tax"
OF course. the president could do
nothing toward preparedness except
through authorization by congress,
and congress was induced 70 give such
authorization only a few weeks ago.
What had net been done by Mckinley

Roosevelt in seven years with a re-

pACIrrcrsT AND BrLrlcosIsT.

ISL Louis Globe Democracy
President James Of the University
of Illinois In his address, before the
Business Mems League, used both the
words 'paeifist' and "paclficist.' Tie
called former Secretary Bryan "a
!pacifieist, who believes there is no
such thing as just war" OF himself,
Or James said, 4 am a pacifist. in
the sense of one who desires peace,
but places justice ana righteousness
fist"
Neither pacifist' nor "paciflcst''
Is to be found in the dictionaries, and
there has been considerable conflict
between them, since the discussions OF
the last few months have brought
them into use. Col Roosevelt ex-
president Eliot of Harvard and uud-
son Maxim say ''paclfist.' while some
noted British writers say 'paciflcist.
President James says both words
have their place. and gives each dis
tlnct meaning.
