KEEP EYE ON JAPAN

In a recent address to the gradual
ing class at Johns Hopkins College,
President Frank Goodnow, who for
wears was China's constitutional adj
wiser, warned America to keep her
weather eye on Japan. He declared
that the United States must look
to its interests in China, for if Japan
succeeds in getting half her demands
in that quarter of the globe it viii
mean the end Of Our trade in Cathay.
Our exports to China are o aver
aging some $6,00,0W annually, al
though there is already a marked
dropping off in our sales 70 her OF
goods, Japan having secured
practical control Of 'hlt trade. The
fact that We have joined her in the
alliance Against Germany will not de
ter Japan from grabbing all She can
Get in China, and if she can ever
bring power enough to bear to
cocrcc China into discouraging the
of American goods the
door which John Hay opened will
be closed in our faces.

M'KINlEY
Freak Found Near Gallup.

One ot the wonders of the age,
and one Of the most peculiar freak
of nature has been discovered near
Gallup, a two-hcadcd and two-leg-
ged calf was found by Roman Cha
vcz on the ranch Of an Indian about
three miles west of town. The calf
had been dead several months, but
had been buried in regular Indian
fashion, and had blcached out and
dried in perfect form. The Indian
had evidently become frightened
when he saw the form OF the new.y
born animal and decided to give it
decent and honorable burial, at least,
The calf had two perfectly develop
ed heads that were joined at the base
Of the neck, One back and one fore
leg we're perfectly developed close
together just back Of the neck, and
the balance Of the body was entirely
out Of proportion and undcveloped.

LUNA
Farmers Should Raise Sheen.

Robert !. Manning of Manning
Bros, & White, was in the city, Satur-
day. and in conversation with the
Graphic stated that their large flock
OF sheep had done remarkably well
this summer and that their lamb crop
was better than 95 percent saved.
The boys have above 100 head in
fine condition and are quite enthusi-
astic over sheep raising in this re-
gion.
Incidentally Manning Bros. are put
in about As acres of irrigation

dry farming from which they expect
to realize a handsome return.
Mr.. Manning is of the opinion that
every farmer in Luna county ought
TO have a small flock of sheep, as he
believes them to be the most profit
able stock = farmer can keep.

A

The war budget bill : carries a
larger total OF appropriation that the
cost OF the entire Civil War--and
it is only the beginning of our war
expenditures. 1t is not the only
way in which our Civil War legis-
lation is being exceeded. In con-
ferring power upon the President,
Congress is proceeding far in ad-
vance of anything which has ever
been known in This country, and
beyond, it may be added, anything
a constitutional monarchy has
ever known. As Senator Lodge has
out, it is physically impos-
sible for Mr.. Wilson to exercise the
powers he already has, and it will
be necessary to hand most of them
to agents, as yet unknown, who
will be chosen without regard to
Congress. The temper of Congress
is steadily rising against further
disposition of its powers to
the executive; and the inevitable
clash cannot be much longer post
poned.

EVIL OF IRRESPONSIBILITY

Considerable discussion is being in
dulged in on the part of certain small
manufacturers who have been given
the cold shoulder by the Govern
ment, when seeking an opportunity
to get in on war supplies, relative
10 the manner in which that business
is being handled in Washington. A
mar in Washington recently cited an
instance: A certain trust has con-
troll OF n large percentage of a raw
material o much in demand by the
Government in the form of soldiers
equipment. A subsidiary corpora
tion of this trust manufactures this
equipment from the parent company's
raw stock. An official of the trust
is one OF the dollar-a-year employees
of the Government. The subsidiary
company puts in a bid for supplying
this equipment. The bid goes to the
War Department and is referred to
the committee which is making gov
eminent purchases. This committee
refers il to a subcommittee to re-
port on whether or not the price
is fair. Sitting on this sub-com-
mittce is the dollar-a-year employee,
whose salary from the trust will keep
the wo'f from the door for some
years 70 come. OF course the sub
committee finds that the price bid
is very, very fair, and the contract
is awarded,

directed against society in general
by a large percentage of the inmates
of this Institution, in de%nouncing the

as there is no foundation to base

wrath.
Since the entry OF the United
States in the present conflict, pa
triotism has wrought a great change,
or has rather shown the true moral
of the convict. Great interest is
now manifested in National affairs,
particularly military. The writer
has heard men speak. whose re-
marks regarding the United States

unconciously champion its every

Society in general does moi look
upon an ex-convict. ordinarily dis
