Will u. S. Soldiers
Marry English Wives,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Press Correspond
ence)A.Speculating editorially on whether
the men of the American army will marry
English wives to any appreciable extent, the
Liverpool Post says:
viii American men marry here? We
wonder il the coming of the American army
will have any effect upon the matrimonial
prospects of our girls. For some treason,
the men of the new world have hitherto
never shown any great eagerness to take
brides from the old, and ever the theory
that this is because 1t has not been the way
of the American man tc cross the Atlantic,
though it is consoling to our national vanity,
does not work. For it is noticeable that
the Canadians, who have abounded in our
midst during the past three years, are not
nearly as fond Of marrying into this coun-
try as are, for example, Australians.
"Few of the young men from Australia
seem to want to return home without Eng
fish brides, hut the Canadians either are
married when they come or show a disposi-
tion to remain single.
"Still, there is no need for the girls to
despair yet, and if SOM of them do not
spend their lives as matrons in the, United
States we shall be surprised. Certainly it
will not be their fault, as they show a most
amiable desire to like any of the American
naval and military and medical men they
have seen, although in some ways the fell
low citizens Of President Wilson are 50 cur
iously unlike our own men"

interesting

1t is extremely interesting to note in the
Socorro Chieftain, generally regarded as
the mouthpiece of a distinguished friend Of
the common people, two separate and dis.
tinct editorials pointing with pride to the
present price of coal in New Mexico. The
Chieftain seems to admire the price OF coal
Doubtless it admires the, extra dollar tackled
on to the price in Santa Fe recently on
the ground that the retailers have to give
away considerable coal to charity, which
charity the generous buyer, OF course, is
SO glad TO defray.
The Chieftafn tells us that after the east
ern coal men have cut the price at the
mines a third, it still remains a third more
than in New Mexico, where 1t says the cost
of production is greater. II feels that the
coal business isn't as profitable out here as
it ought to be.
We cannot repress an expression Of adj
mfration for the newspaper or statesman in
New Mexico game enough to come out and
champion the price OF coal at this time.
Judging from the tenor of the Cfieftain's
editorials, we should not be surprised to
see it enter a plea for the addition of an
other dollar q ton to the price. And in view
of the oft-pfofessed love for the common
people expressed by the Chieftain's patron
saint, It may be we'll to keep this in mind.

There seems to be nc longer any doubt
of a well-defned policy on the part Of the
administration to prevent Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt from taking any active part in
the present war. The idea is evidently to
suppress Colonel Roosevelt, and force him
to remain a mere onIooker.
The Colonel, of course, has said some ex.

Der correctly, he abated his prejudice sufi-
GENTLY to go to the executive and pledge his

Roosevelt remain a dynamo OF energy,
despite his advancing years The driving
power of his personality is needed in this
national emergency. He wants to get to
work; he is bursting to take a hand; he has
a keener perception, perhaps, than any other
American of the underlying causes of the
war, what victory or defeat will mean, a

A Dangerous Theory

The New Mexican believes that more sa.
cred than all the man-bestowed panoply Of
Office conferred on any PUBLIC servant, more
important than any authority, prerogatives
or immunities with which the people clothe
those whom they intrust with the admins
tratfon of government, is the right of the
free press of America to tell the truth.
II is not conceivable that in this ultra
democratic country voters are going to ele-
vate any man to Office with the purpose Of
placing him where they cannot reach him.
1t does violence to every principle of our
self-government to assume that In employ
ing a servant Of the public we are going to
deliberately renounce the right and privilege
OF criticising that servant when he fails to
live up to the trust we have reposed in him.
1t, is %repugnant to every idea Of autonomy
to conceive that the creature is greater than
the creator, the officer whom we place in
power Is immune from ~denunciation and ex-
posure when he is recreant to his trust.
But 1t is even more intolerabie to set up
the contention that such q public servant
loses his individuality as a person and a
citizen; and that whatever crookedness or
dishonor he is guilty of as a private citizen,
the fiction must be set up that he fs i'm
msculate because he happens to hold d pub
Ic Office. The doctrine is insidious, danger
GUS, disastrous. The minute the press and
public admit that such an offender can skuik

The following are some OF the common
New Mexico Ways Of drying these vege.
tables:
New Mexico Green Chile
Take full grown, green pods, preferably
those that are smooth and have no shoulder
at stem. Cut Off end of. each pod, for steam
to escape. Place them in an oven or on q
~toaster over Goals. Keep the heat up. so
as to blister the thin skin on the pods. Turn
them over occasionally, until all OF the skin
has been thoroughly blistefed. Remove
pods from fire; cover them with q cloth and
let them partially cool; then remove the
blistered skin with the thumb and forefinger.
Remove also the stem, seed and placehta,
though this is not absolutely necessary. Put
the peeled pods on boards, or on anything
that they may dry thoroughly. Place them
IN the sun, turning the pods over after the
first day or two, to prevent their sticking
10 the board. In d few days, when thor.
oughly dried, the chile can be sacked and
put away This green dried chile can DO used
in any way in which the green, fresh chile
can be used. 1t will keep a long time.
Summer Squash or Pumpkin
Take young, tender squash or pumpkin
from two to four inches in diameter. Have
a good, sharp knife. and slice them into thin
slices. Place these slices ON boards, cloth,
grass, or anything that is suitable for hold
ing for drying. Put them out in the sun,
and be careful that they are not rained
upon. In two or three days they should be
moved or turned over, so that they may dry
quicker. After they are dried thoroughly
they can be boxed in small boxes and kept
for a long while.
Corn
There are two old, but good, New Mexico
ways of drying roasting ears (known as
"chicos7 in Spanish.
Take tender roasting ears and steam them
until done; then either cut the grain from
the cob or simply put the roasting ears out
to dry. The grain can be spread thinly
upon dishes or boards in the sun to dry.
When the corn ON the cob is thoroughly
dried 1t may be shelled and sacked, or it
can be sacked without removing it from
the cob.
Another way is to take the roasting ears
and place them in the oven or right in the
fire, without removing the husks, and let
them cook until done. Then remove the
husk and allow the roasting ear to dry in
the same manner as when steamed. In pre-
pairing large numbers of roasting ears by
this method, a good way is to build a large
adobe oven and heat it thoroughly; remove
the Goals, throw in the roasting ears with
the husks on, Immediately close the over
tightly, and let the corn remain in it all
night. The next morning the corn can be
taken out, and after removing the husks,
placed out to dry, shelled or On the cob.

"The, Santa Fe New Mexican sees no rea.
son why the press Of New Mexico should
give publicity to the activities of the Ozark

its assertion that the organization seems to
be engaged in nothing more than boosting
Colonel "coin" Harvey, its president. The
New Mexican takes offense at the organiza.
ton because, 1t alleges, the annual conver.
