A LITTLE ADVISE
TO YOUNG MEN,

The individuals who will control
the destinies of the next century are
now bows wearing "hand-me-downs
and home spun" and not the guided
youth who never earned a penny by
honest toll. Many men who have
been born in obscurity have become
great and glorious in life and death ;
born IN villages but reigned and
triumphed in cities and palaces. Co.
'umbus was the son of a weaver and
was himself a weaver. Cervantes
was a common soldier. Homer was
the son of a small farmer. Molier
was the son of a tapestry maker,
Dcmosthenes was the son of a cut
ter. Terrence was a slave. Franklin
was the son of a tallow chandler
and soap boiler.
So Young man it matters not your
station in life. if You are made Of
the right kind of metal, you are want
ed.
From the streets corners. from the
SPOONS. and gambling houses, from
the loafers rendezvous, from the i'd
lers promenade turn your steps in
TO the highway of noble aim. In the
moral and physical world: not only
the field of battle. but also the con-
secreated cause of truth and virtue
there is need for champions. The
world is always asking for men who
are sober: men who are not for sale:
men who are honest. sound from
center to circumstance, true to the
hearts core: men who will condemn
in friend or foe. in themselves
as we, as others; men who will
stand for the right and rpho'd the
standard Of truth who will look the
world and the devil square in the
eve without f%linching: men who
neither hrag nor run: men who
neither flag nor finch: men who
know their messape and tell it: men
who know their places and fill them:
men who are not too law to work
nor too proud to be poor: men who
are willing to eata only that which
thew have earned and veal that which
thew have paid fcr.

Prof. Frank D. Slutz, of Pueblo, Colo,
was one Of the big assets Of the educational

In the opinion Of many of the leading
educators the thirty-first annual convention
of the Teachers Association just closed in this
CITY. was the most successful ever held. The
attendance was as large, possibly larger, than
of any previous meeting.
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1916-12-01

The interest in the various matters taken
up the general and sectional meetings was
greater than ever before. The recon-
mendations for changes in the c%onstitu-
ton and laws of the state along educational
lines were more definite and more i~nsistent
than in the past.

The highest learning is to be wise
the greatest wisdom is to be good.
The wise man looks forward into
futuIity according to the teachings
that he received at his mothers knee
and from lis teacher.
Guard well your duty, teacher, and
do not fail to instill into the young
minds which are under your care
and training. the damnation of in
temperance. Bend your twigs to the
higher hills, and in afr years you
will glory in the fact that none of
your pupils ever went to the gutter.
From the dawn of civilization to
this hour the human ace has
been compelled to grapple with
the mighty problem of how to re-
strain vice and cultivate virtue, pro-
tect the weak and not sacrifice the
rights of the strong. wage war upon
poverty and conserve the rights of
property, prevent excess and protect
personal liberty.
Every age and generation brought
its best thought to bear upon the So
luton. Progress has been made de-
spite handicaps of every kind. The
advance has been slow. but THE
race has never taken a backward
step. This fact spans the sky of the
future with a bow of promise that
brightens as the centuries pass.

ROOSEVELT SCORES
 FORD AND PACIFISTS
Declares Policy Has Caused
 Loss of Many Lives.

Theodore Roosevelt invading Detroit. the home city of Henry Ford. for an an address upon "AmericaniSm and Preparedness" in the Detroit Opera House. eXcOriated in particular those ''prOfessiOnal German-Americans" who are lauding militarism for Germany and preaching pacifism for the United States in order to render this country impOtent against foreign attack.
 To prove the dissemination of this species of moral treason" Colonel Roosevelt read from a copy of a letter from a Berlin professor to professor of German in an American university. in which it was indicated that German policy would be to inculcate pacitiSm here so that German interests would be better served in case that country should ally itself. sympathetically or entirely. with Japan in a war upon the United States.
 Others who stand for grudging and intellectual preparedness the colonel likened to men who believe when they go to war in going to war just q lit- tle" or when hitting in Uniting soft.
 The policy of the pacifsts. declared Colonel Roosevelt. has cost the lives of more American citizens in Mexico than were killed by the Spaniards in the war of 1898. and this same policy to- ward Germany has cost the lives of more nOncOmbatants than the total of seamen killed in the navieS of both the north and the south during the whole civil war

69 to 37 For Granting Votes to the

By vote of 69 to 37 the house of representatives in the committee of the whole adopted an amendment to the pending Porto Rican citizenship bill to grant suffrage to the women of Porto Rico. It was proposed by the Republican floor leader, MT. Mann.
 MT. Mann explained that he offered the amendment because of the require ments of the Porto Rican citizenship bill. which would make it impossible for any persOh who did not read either Spanish or English or pay $3 taxes an nually to vote.
 There are many women in Porto Rico who read both Spanish and Eng fish and pay more than $3 annual taxes. and it would be unfair to deny them the vote," Haid he.

TALKS ON THRIFT 7

Somewhere in the suburbs OF
New York live a man and wife,
happily married, with one child.
The husband has job that brings
a fairly good income and the wife
keeps the house and takes care OF
the baby. Both are we'll bred. He
was southern gentleman; she is
the daughter of well-to-do parents,
went to boarding school, is hand
some and accomplished. She
learned everything a girl should
know but the one essential thing,
how to make home. Her mother
had her maid. The daughters
clothes were always ready and her
mending done. Her youthful years
were spent in having good time
and learning the art of being a
lady.
She married. Now she mustrun
a home. She doesn't know how.
Her husband gives her SIPS a
month for the house. Because she
never learned to cook and can't af-
ford a cook, they must take their
dinners out. Therefore Mr.. Hus-
band comes home, takes care of the
baby while Mrs. Wife rushes half
q mile to boarding house, eats her
dinner in a hurry and rushes back;
then he hurries half mile to a
boarding house and gets his fag- end
dinner. Her generous allowance
is gone when the month is up and
1t has boughtno satisfaction. They

they blame the baby-they ought
to blame her mother.
Had this wife been brought up
to be woman instead of Just a
lady, she would take that thirty
dollars they spend every month for
boarding house dinners and get
two meals a day for two that would
make the boarding house dinners
look like a ten cent lunch. But
she doesn't know how. She does
not study her job. She can't save
her energy. The time and effort
spent to get to the boarding house
and back, the dressing the annoy
ance and the worry would more

and clear it away. She doesn't
want to be merely a lady, she
would rather be woman; now it's
too late-she's spoiled.
But it's not altogether her fault.
She wasn't trained right. She is a
parlor ornament anc not thrifty
wife. She can't manage. She
can't plan. She can't save. She
can Just be sweet; but sweetness
never runs home. It's good for
dessert, but home is made up of
beefsteak and potatoes and pies and
buildings that touch the spot, "
and the old saying is as true as

mans heart is thru his stomach"

AWAIT THE AWAKENING PICK
Large Deposits of Anthracite in East
ern States That Have Never
Been Opened Up.

A large field of anthracite IN
Rhode Island and southeastern Mas;
sachusetts is still unworked, although
known as long ago as 1850, and exl
listing so close to New England's
great industries. Many attempts at
mining have been soon abandoned:
Investigating for the geological sur
vey, George H. Ashley has found
that the coal beds have been folded
and compressed more than even those
of Pennsylvania, and the coal has
been broken up, and chiefly squeezed
into great pockets, with much adj
mixture of rock in places, and the
conversion of much carbon into
graphite. Besides giving a varying
quality, these conditions make the
net cost of mining greater than in
Pennsylvania. The causes for the
apparent failure to mine profitably
seem to be (1) improper prepare.
ton of the coal at the mine; (2) at
tempted use in furnaces and with ap-
paratus designed for dissimilar GOALS
(3) low duty per dollar of cost as
compared with competing Goals, and
(4) stock jobbing. In general, the
coal contains two to six times as
much moisture as Pennsylvania coal,
with two to three times as much ash
the moisture making necessary
special drying under cover. The con-
elusion is that a unique opportunity
is offered for electrical generation at
mines near to industrial centers.

BIBLE NOT A "MUST BOOK"
"Good Fun to Read IT," q Lecturer
Tolls His Audience at Min
neapoIis.

Such glowing epithets as magnet
ic," fascinating" "deliciously err
ing" and ''human" were directed
toward the Bible by Professor Bur-
ton of the University of Minnesota,
according to the Minneapolis Jour-
nal.
"The Bible is good fun to read.
Pick it up impulsively, involuntarily
as you would any other book" he
told an audience of students and WIS.,
itors in Minneapolis.
The discourse on the Bible was
the last lecture in a running series
on ''Books Often Talked About but
Seldom Read" which the university
had offered to the public.
Defending the choice of the Bible
for discussion among books seldom
read, Doctor Burton declared that if
the number of those who read the
book perforce and those who read it
nominally were subtracted and the
total number of readers further re,
'duced. to those who read because of
love of the reading, the justice of in
Guiding the Bible in the series would
become apparent.
Reference to the attraction of the
Bible goes with stock joke references
to the goat and the mother-in-law,"
he said. '1t is regarded in the popu-
lar mind as a must book an aristo-
cratic, removed book"
Doctor Burton said the Bible was
the most dramatic book in the world.
