Peace and Prosperity

A news item over the wires yesterday re-
garding President Wilson's choice of Mr..
Nescott Of New Jersey to nominate him for
second tire incidentally states that the
Democratic issues are to be Peace and Pros
rerity.
Mr. Wilson's services in the cause Of
Peace are too well known to need comment.
They are almost as famous as those of Mr..
.9ryan. His kind of peace for another four
ears would bring the country to the verge
f nervous prostration. And with chuck steak
costing what T-hone did a year ago and
fre dcllars added to the price OF our spring

Sloean is likely to have a bad squeak in it

The Elephant Butte Dam

A brief dispatch carried by the Associated

r tion service in New Mexico is officially
rerorted complete.
When the great project was started it

cor p~letion of it was one Of those problem

of mankind.
The spectacular achievements of Germany
in perfecting the machinery Of war and con

Wren we consider however the executive

terms Of peace, Of achievement for develop

Need Of Preparedness
FROM THE Los ANGELES TIMES

After twenty-one months Of the bl0Odiest
and c~ostliest war in the history of the world.

and orphans, the thought of the people of the
devastated and almost exhausted nations are
turned toward peace. Said O. S. Strauss, for

Let us not deceive ourselves by failing to

FOR territory and the rivalry for domination

which Europe was so rapidly drifting, but
the failure of the militarists has certainly
