A SERIOUS MATTER

Like the news they read in the papers
every day of the troubles of Tom, Dick ant
Harry, in a far off corner of the world, and
are prone to read the suggestions Of merchants
and newspapers to do their holiday shopping
early, and to pass them up with a glance.
They do not accept the suggestions with
any idea of connecting them with a problem
Of life. If they do pause to think what these
demands mean, they push them along to theii
~neighbors and decide that it would be a good
thing for the other fellow to do.
But this means YOU.
1t means every man, wona and child in
Santa Fe who buys Christmas presents. The
goods will all be picked over, the clerks will

THE GOVERNMENTS BUSINESS

While we watch our ~neighbors in the war
striker countries of Europe who are fighting
and suffering as the result of the privations
which only war can bring, it might be well for
us to remember that many of the misfortunes
which are theirs may be shared by us. And
the first of these seems to be the necessity for
government regulation of foodstuffs.
With the increased expectation of sup
plies of all sorts to Europe, with prices about
as high as any peaceful nation should be forced
to stand, and with the danger that we may
face a real famine for many commodities,
it would seem that the government must take
a hand.
From every corner of the country comes
the demand that the United States take care
of herself and then send her supplies to the
others instead Of sending the belligerents the
major part OF our crops and letting the peo-
pie at home go without. Congress is prepar-
ing for a real fight on this line and every eco
nomist is putting in extra time irving to figure
some solution of the problem. With our coun-
try acting as the storchouse for the world and
with the war certain to continue through
another awful winter, it is not too much to
say that the dav Of food coupons with govern
mcnt agents passing out the daily rations is
not very remote
Germany rcSortcd to the scheme a long
time ago. England is fast coming to it. The
only thing that can save is in the conservation
of our own resources to some extent. Whether
if will be done remains to be seen.
But when YOU start to feel story for
vour nciolbor. remember that it might be well
to do a little work for both him and Yourself.
Your Congressman should be impressed with
vour ideas. 1t might bear fruit a few months
hence.

SO rapidly that we have not developed our

of over one hundred people in the state

GET ACQUAINTED
WITH YOUR NEICHBOR.

Last Sunday we had the pleasure
of listening to President Frank H.
H. Roberts of the New Mexico Nor
NAL University, who spoke at the
Methodist church in this city, and
it was then that we learned the rea-
son why the University was attend
ed by Isl students at the last term
and why the school is one of the
largest and best in the great South
west. 1t is the man at the head
OF that school,. But President Rob
erts did not attract us so much as
some of the things which flowed
from his fertile brain. The discourse
should have beer heard by every
teacher in the state who has not
heretofore come in personal con-
tact with Mr.. Roberts.
Ore Of his utterances awoke in orr
being a new thought, a new field
OF action, and a new inspiration in
life, and here is what he said: Get
acquainted with your neighbor, you
might like him.. And he added, "he
might become your friend

During the centuries that have

every known remedy to cure this

little avail, and time and experience
have shown p'ainly and unequivo-

THE IMPENDING STRIKE

1t suited the purposes of certain Demo-
cratic politicians and of certain Democratic
labor leaders to make believe that the Adam
son law had accomplished something in the
way of limiting the hours of work for rail-
way train crews, or of increasing their wages,
and it is claimed that a considerable number
of votes were turned to President Wilson on
that account. \
Now that the election is over we are con-
fronted with the legal and industrial aspects
of the Adamson law, rather than its political
aspect, and the contemplation is not pleasing.
So far as the legal meaning is concerned,
the most expert readers of the law are OF
doubtful and various opinions, and the only
way in which final and definite decision can
be gained is by court decisions at the end OF
a long and tedious course of litigation. The
Records opinion is, as it has been from the
beginning, that the law is meaningless and that
it was made so Intentionally with the purpose
of deceiving the brotherhoods with a gold
brick.
The railway brotherhoods are not in
clined to wait patiently until the highest court
decides what the law means, if it means any
thing. They have been told that the law gave
them an eight-hour day, and an eight-hour
day is what they want-not necessary
ailimitation of eight hours as a maximum
period Of work, but an eight-hour day as a
basis of wage calculation with overtime pay
at the rate now in effect. Here is abundant
material for controversy, and the most unfor-
tunate element in the whole situation is that
the president has taken the stand that arbi-
tration is not an inalienable factor in the
rightful settlement of industrial disputes.
We cannot blame the brotherhoods for
insisting upon an eight hour day with propor
tionate pay for over time. That is what they
were told the Adamson law meant, and they
were also told that arbitration was not to be
insisted on in the contest for the ei9ht-hOur
dav. They are fllllN Justified in demanding
from the Democratic administration the full
fillment Of the promises that were made to
them.
On the other hand we cannot blame the
railroad managers who insist that thew shorld
know what the law means before thew under
take to comply with its provisions. The cam
naign promises of the Democrats are not bind
ing upon the presidents of the railroads, and
they are quite within their rights in insisting
that the gold brick shall be assaved BY COM
netent experts before they accept it as pure
bullion.
AS for the public, who will be the worst
sufferers bv the impending strike, they have
no reasonable ground of complaint, for they
are oetteing exactly what they voted for. A
nationwide railroad strike is only the first
installment of the costs of a second term Viii
son administration.

Pink HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or rs the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also ~loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system. .t.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
