Why We Need It

In urging universal military education In
America the Medical Record says that in
spite of our excellence in trained athletes
the large numbers Of pale. undernourished
and poorly developed youths ii pasty
ilabby men in the cities will convince any
oDen-minded observer Of the desirability 81
regular physical training. And the country
bred are little superior to those brought w
in the cities.
DR.. Lucien Howe states that the standard
of health of the average American is SO low
that more than 80 per cent Of the applicants
for the army and navy were rejected To-
physical disability in 1914. and In the fol
lowing year less than 10 per cent of the APP
plicants for the marine corps were found
physically fit.
But it is for it's effects on character and
efficiency that the Medical Record specially
urges universal military training. 1t says
"the lack of Difference shown by the Ameri-
lean boy to his elders is notorious and par
allels his lack Of self-restraint and self-sac-
rifice, qualities out of which character is
developed" And again, 'the one great les.
son taught by military service is the one
great lesson most needed by the citizens OF
this country-obedience."

DR.. HARDWOOD

The death at Albuquerque Of DR.. Thomas
HARDWOOD is the end Of a career for which
New Mexico is UNNECESSARILY better, the
closing OF a life which should be an inspira-
tion to every person in the state, the Finis
of a period of faithful service which will
never be forgotten in New Mexico.
Coming to New Mexico as a circuit rider
in 1869, a minister for sixty-two years, he
was a religious and educational pioneer
who laid the foundations for many of the
blessings which New Mexico enjoys today.
For ~forty-eight years he was a missionary
in New Mexico; G.. A. r. chaplain for New
Mexico for thirty-three years and Of the
Albuquerque post twentythree years. He
was wounded defending the Union in the
Civil Wal. He founded a school for native
boys and his work among the Spanish
speaking people has had results whose i'm
~portance can never be gagged. He died at
the ripe age Of fourscore and seven years
after giving his body and his mind and his
soul u~nreservedly, since early maturity, to
the service of his country, his territory and
state and his God. The memory of Thomas
HARDWOOD and his work should be a priceless
heritage for the people of New Mexico.

his duty conscientiously and well at the Dor

1t seems to us that the state of New

The Boys On the Border

The New Mexican fully agrees With the

a great injustice to set these young men

emergency than now exists. Men who have
served d much shorter time and given less
efficient service have been allowed to sgo

Silver City Independent: Any day is a
good time to make good resolutions, but the
advent OF a new year Is one OF the best
times, because 1t is a milepost on the road
OF life.
Resolutions which cannot reasonably be
lived up to are better never made. Fan.
lure weakens character, causes loss of con-
fidence and leads the mind to a feeling OF
whats the user
Real happiness in life cannot be bought
With gold, Many Of the humblest people
ARE happier and more eontented than a
neighbor who dwells in o mansion.
One should try to make each day as 1t
comes the happiest day of ones life. Why
waste one's life away living In anticipation
Of a day that may never come? Each day is
like a mirror. One side is bright and the
reflections seem even better than they
really are. The other side is rough and
dark. Try to keep the bright side turned
your way and at the end of the year may
each of us look back with a better feeling
at heart and a ~clearerN conscience, that we
have performed our duties to the full ex-
tent Of the opportunities given us all.

He thumps you gravely in the ribs, he bids

cheering, kindly look;
But all in vain--he only writes your symp-

One lesson that the European war has
driven home Is that of the necessity for a
highly developed aviation corps. Congress
has made the first provisions by passing
an appropriation of s14,O O0, 900 at the last
session to build up the aviation branch of
the army, a jump from the patty 100000
provided for the same purpose in the pre-
ceding year. The equipment contemplated
by the signal corps of the army includes a
total of 419 air machines of various types.
for which orders have been placed or pro-
posals solicited. Improvements in aero
plane power. plants are now in progress,
while work is under way in the develop
ment of bombs, bomb.dropping sights, spe-
cial cameras, mounts for machine guns, au.
tomato controlling devices, instruments for
navigation and for the aid Of the pilot, and
many other accessories. The aviation per
sonnet villa be increased this year to II Off

ahead of him he was able to work his W a

Blind Broom Maker

Since Mr.. Hunter lost his sight he has

read, thus enabling him to keep abreast of
the times, and to while away a few of the
otherwise tiresome hours.
Mr.. Hunters occupation now is that OF

Governor w. G. Mcdonald, reputed head
of some fearsome thing termed by the Old
Guard the Mcdonald Machine" has quietly
and uncbtrusively slipped out of the execu-
tive office and mansion to give way to the
governorelect and will soon depart for-his
homo and ranch in Lincoln county to attend
Ito the business of cattle raising.
Governor Mcdonald has kept entirely in
the background since the election, highly
content with the endorsement given his ad-
ministration by the election Of Governor De
Baca, for whom the governor did such ef-
~fective work during the campaign. Govern
or McDonald's silence has been the more
commendable in view sof the unusual expe-
of a retiring governor in going out
of the office to the tune of volleysl of abuse
from the Republican standpat organization
and its chairman, w. II. Clearwater, abuse
which has become the more bitter and We
hement the nearer the governor has come
to the actual vacating of his office. How
much more they can hate him after he gets
clear into private life is a matter of specu-
lation.
AS a farewell word to Governor Mcdonald
"a man who has given New Mexico five
years of honest, efficient. graftless admin.
istration, five years marked by notable state
progressive congratulate him 'on return
ing to private life with sucn a commend
able and highly desirable list of enemies.
There could be no greater tribute to his
honesty and integrity than these enemies.
He ought to be proud of them. He doubt
less is.
The New Mexican has frequently had oc.
casion to say some pretty frank things
about Governor Mcdonald. There was one
time when he didn't like us a bit for 1t.
We have always recognized the fact that as
a party man and a politician Mcdonald had
HIS shortcomings-but no one has ever
questioned his absolute squarenesss and hon.
esty. His record as governor, whatever his
future political fortunes, is a bright spot
in New Mexico's history, a record, Of duty
faithfully done, a record with which MELON
aid should be we'll content. We believe the
best wishes of the people of New Mexico
whom he has tried to serve will follow him

Our National Parks
And Their Highways
(Chicago evening POSED

Stephen T.. Mather, assistant to the see
rotary Of the interior, makes an interesting
report on the growing popularity Of our
great national parks and the work that has
been done for their improvement during the
last year.
The increase in motor travel is noted a
feature deserving special attention. The
automobile has yielded to the lure of tho
parks, and last year nearly $4,000 tourists
employed this means of seeing the beauties
of Uncle Sans vast pleasure grounds. Over
1000 more cars than in the year before were
registered at the park portals, or 1888
IN all.
The obvious lesson of this development
lof motor travel is the need of more and bet
ter highways through the parks. AS yet,
Yosemite and Yellowstone are the only
parks that possess more than a few miles
of road over which motor cars may pass
with comfort and safety. Auto tourists must
leave their machines at, the park entrances
and travel by foot or horseback over the
trails in order to view the natural wonders
and scenic charms that lie beyond the bor-
tders.
The number OF motor tourists to Rocky
Mountain park, the splendid mountain play
of Colorado, was especially great,
but the annua Observation-Disclosures to
$10,000-is too small to permit OF the need
ed improvements. 1T covers barely the cost
OF appropriation. Senator Shafroth has in
a bill to remedy this stringency,
1t ought to pass. The value of a park lies
in Its usableness, and proper provision must
be made for the travel and comfort Of tour
lists If it is to serve its purpose. Another
bill before the senate provides for the adj
ditiorf to Rocky Mountain Park of a number
of scenic tracts, including Twin Sisters,
Deer Mountain, Gem Lake and the Needles.
If this bill passes as it should it will ex-
tend the eastern borders OF the park almost
to the city limits of Estes Park.
MI. Matthew recommends the erection Of
simple, digified gateways to the parks. One
such gateway stands at the northern en-
trance to Yellowstone and another at the
southwestern entrance to Mt. Rainier. They
need not be costly, and they should har-
monte with the native ~ruggedness of the
parks themselves. They carry their mas
sage of national proprietorship, marking ap-
propriate1y where private ownership ends
and the collectively owned heritage of the
people begins.
The creation OF the national park service
is the beginning of a better care and utili-
zation Of our big Fairgrounds. 1t has splen-
did possibilities for the future, and we hope
to see them fully developed for the health
and happiness of all the people.
