Nations Are ONLY NeighbOrS.

THE nations OF the world have be-
come each others neighbors II is TO
their interest that they should under
stand each other. In order that they
may understand each other it is i'm
perative that they should agree to CO.
operate in a common cause and that
they should so act that the guiding
principle OF that common cause shall
be even-handed and impartial justice.
This is undoubtedly the thought of
America. This is what We ourselves
will say when there comes proper oc-
casion to say it. In the dealings OF
nations with one another arbitrary
force must be rejected and we must
move forward TO the thought Of the
modern world. the thought Of which
peace is the very atmosphere. That
thought constitutes a chief part of the
passionate conviction OF America.
We believe these fundamental
things: First. that every people has a
right to choose the sovereignty under
which they shall live. Like other ma
tons, We have ourselves no doubt once
and again offended against that prin-
ciple when for little while. controlled
by selfish passion, as our franker his
! torians have been honorable enough 70

ROAD BOOSTERS HERE

Several auto loads. containing a
large delegation of road boosters FROM
Glenrio and Endee neighborhoods were
in the city Monday to appear before
the Board of County Commissioners
in the interests of proposed road ex.
tending from Porter, New Mexico, due
east to the Texas line.
Among those of the party whose
names were obtained were G. G.. Hail,
w. r. Byars, f.. ID. Holtzclaw, NJ. NJ.
Kennard, S. ID. Roberts, Aca Horne,
and Lee Jackson.
The road boosters interviewed mem
bers Of the Board Of County Commits
sioners and presented their reasons for
opening the road, and received assur-
ances from members of the Board that
they would get the new road
The proposed road is about thirteen
miles in length and will open up road
for travel which will serve several
hundred people TO the north and east
Of Endee and Glenrio. We are in
formed that every landholder on both
sides of the proposed road, who is now
in the country, except one, has made
a grant of right-of-way, waving dam
ages, in order to secure the road.
A very strong sentiment appears to
exist in favor Of the road on account
of giving road TO the Texas line.
which will permit the farmer and
stockman to ship from and to the
Texas line, in order to get the benefit
Of the Texas line freight rate.
The News editor had an interview
with Mr.. Lee Jackson, who sta led that
they had been wanting this road for
some months but had been unable to
get action on it. He said that he had
talked with some of the Republicans
out there, and that they told them not
to talk to Republicans, to go talk Ia
the Democratic county commissioners
Mr.. Jackson said the delegation with
h'.. was all Democratic, and that they
had several hundred more out there
just like them; that they had never
gotten anything out IN their part of
the county, and now they were looking
for something good and strong.
We hope our Democratic friends
will get the new road.

AVOID CREASES WHEN YOU
ARE FITTING INNER TUBES

The inimitable MIR Dooley Gays that
the thick end Of base ball bat will
convince man more quickly than any
argument.
must confess, however, says Mr..
Tarpley of the Ford Garage that in
the present case at least, the Dooleyan
method does not appeal to me.
For even as the pen is sometimes
mightier than the sword, so the thing
itself is more convincing than mere
description, and / believe ] can per-
suade the motorist, by showing him n
badly creased tube, that it is impos-
Sible to lavish too much care and at
tention on his tires, and on all the lit.
tie details connected with them.
Time and again ! have insisted that
IA tube must be placed evenly inside
II casing, and that every crease must
he got rid Of at all costs.
! have shown my customers that a
carelessly fitted tube will be subjuct-
ed to abnormal tension in several 9TH
er places; | have warned them that
after partly initiating the tube, before
finally fitting, that il should be care
fully placed in the casing without any
twisting, and care should be taken
when mounting that the tube is not
pinched between the edges of the bead
or between the beads and the rim.
Remember that tubes will last very
much longer if they are properly fitted
and at the same time the motorist will
be saved good deal of trouble.
The Michelin tube is the easiest Ia
tit, Mr.. Tarpley states, for the reason
that il is formed on circular man
drel to the exact shape of the inside
of the casing, and is not simply a
straight piece of tubing forced into a
circular form and cemented Michelin
tubes, being shaped TO fit the castings
as stated are not easily pinched when
mounting, as they are longer on the
outside circumference than inside next
the rim, and for that reason do not
form into folds when mounting. The
straight tubes on the other hP-d dc
form into folds next the rim when
fitting, so extra care must be used
when fitting ordinary tubes 20 pre-
vent the folds pinching between the
beads themselves or between the beads
and the rim.

THREE WAR ZONES

With more than 10000 troops as
sembling along the Mexican border,
the war department has taken steps to
decentralize direct administration of
the 1900 mile frontier in the interest
of efficiency and probably to pave the
way for the appointment of supreme
commander to coordinate all military
activities on the international line.
The border formerly in the southern
department from the Gulf of Mexico
to California now is to be divided into
three military departments, command
ed by Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston,
Brig. Gen. John j. Pershing and Maj.
Gen J. Franklin Bell.
War department officials said the
new order, which automatically re-
lieves Gen. Funston of supreme com
mand on the border and the enormous
responsibilities that have crowded up
on him, had no significance as indi-
eating preparation for war.
There was no announcement in re-
gard TO the probable selection of q
senior major general for commander
in chief Of the border guard and field
forces. There are indications that

THEY'RE NOT LEAVING QUAY

Some of the Republican newspapers
of the state are expressing consider
able gratitude in the thought of the
prospect of the dry weather of the
last several weeks driving Democratic
settlers out of eastern New Mexico.
THE drouth is driving out the Dem
ocratic voters" they are declaring,
gleefully. IF it just continues there
won't be many of those several thous-
and new Democratic votes left by this
fall"
Throughout eastern New Mexico
many thousands Of acres Of valley and
mesa have been taken up and trans
formed into productive farming dis
tricts by settlers who entered this
state several years ago. Cities and
towns have been built, and millions
added 20 the wealth of New Mexico.
This development now is being extend
ed by the homesteaders and others
who have come in within the last few
years to establish homes and join the
earlier builders of the empire that New
Mexico is destined to be. These set
tiers are the hope of the common
wealth; the state must have them TO
become productive and prosperous.
But simply and solely because a ma
iority of them are from Democratic
sections and believe in Democratic
principles of government, the New
Mexico Republican bosses, who live in
the central and western part of New
Mexico, would have them driven from
the state, and the wealth that they
will wrest from the land. lost to New
Mexico. In other words. any calamity
that might result in ridding the state
of Democratic voters, would be well
coined, regardless Of future conse-
quences.
II takes all classes of citizenship To
make world, and New Mexico is rep
resented by more different classes of
people than any state in the union,
unless it he California. Few of the
settlers, if any, of those who have
really settled are leaving Quay coun-
ty. These men and women entered
the state determined to establish their
permanent homes and aid in building
up prosperous communities. They are
not frightened by the present dry
SPELL they can see the success attain
ed by the earlier settlers, and they
are aware Of the splendid crop record
Of last year, and they will remain here
long enough to cast their votes for
the best men in the November cleo
tion, whether they be democrats or
republicans.
