The wiley Won Huffman, Ger
many's foreign minister seems
as the French view it, to be try
ing to stir up discord among the
Allies by his statement that the
Alsace-L Lorraine Is the only OBJ
stalce in the path of peace. He
lately made a speech in the
Reichstag, evidently in reply to
an im~passioned plea in the
French Chamber Of Commerce by
Mr.. Ribot. for the restitution of
the lost provinces in which he
outlined the policy of the new
cabinet.
Won Huffman saw his chance
to stir up discord among the AL
lies by trying TO peeve France,
with the inference that the lost
provinces was the only barrier 10
peace. France wants her old
possessions but there are other
things of Importance which con-
Germ herself and her sister allies
and we may rest assured that she
Is on her honor as she always has
been, and no enemy maneuver,
no individual weakness, can turn
her from her determination to
stand until the last claim of the
allies are satisfied. Until those
glorious principles Of liberty

Pile, which today bring together
the civilized universe against

The Nemesis of Germany

What years, what centuries, shall
cleanse your name?
What from the scorn of men
shall set you free?
You, who have built of black
iniquity
The dreadful pillars Of your house
of fame.
Echoes of agony shall prolong
your shame:
Dead lips shall tell your deeds
of imfamy;
And all your savage hopes, in
days to be,
Shall die like shriveled leaves be-
fore the flame.
The bitter fruitage of your mon
strous art
Shall cease not with the 'ceas-
ing of the strife;
Still shall men enter with a
shrinking heart
Sad places where your ravag-
ing lusts were rife:
And stern DEGREES shall set your
soul apart
From all the kindly brother
hoods of life.

The man that claims to be out
of a job these days and comes to
your back door asking for aims,
should be turned over to the po-
lice. We do not wish to be mis-
understood or m%isquoted, but
when labor is in as much of a de-
mand as it is today, and wages
reasonably good, there is no ex-
cuse for a man to beg his way,
and prey on the public sympa-
thy. In times past, deserving
characters were oftimes met
with. Jobs were scarce, and men
were sometimes compelled to
move from one place TO another
in search for work, but now a
man can sell his labor In any
market. So we may say to the
housewife whose sympathies are
always with the unfortunate, if
such a character should knock at
your back door and ask for a
handout, phone for the police
and remove the nuisance TO the
rock pile.

The % per cent share of ma
tional forest receipts paid over
TO the counties of New Mexico
for the support of the roads and
schools, is sos, 900, which repre-
sents an increase of 1923, 900 over
last year according to figures
compiled by the forest service.
Arizona's share is $18, 600, which
represents an increase of SIT, 900
over last year. School funds paid
over to Arizona and New Mexico
on account of shcool lands adj
ministered by the forest service,
and road funds, accruing from
forest receipts, are said to show
corresponding increases in both
states. An increase of SIT, 900
over last year is shown in the
total amount paid over directly
into the road and school funds
in the two southwestern states.
Forest officers ascribe the in
crease to the more active
markets for forest timber,
greater demand for forest range,
and 25 per cent raise in grazing
fees put into effect at the be-
ginning of the year.

Her method of many years study

phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers Demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."

when the income tax blank came in, try
ing to pare down your income and IN
crease the number of your dependents
in order to make yourself exempt. Or
if YOU don't like to think of that, think
Of the open season for property taxes,
when YOUR millionaire friends trip light
w down to the tax bureau to explain,
first, that their property doesn't amount
to nearly as much as their assessments
say. and. second, that they live in Cleve-
land, Ohio, anyway. Some of these same
men, by the way, probably put their
manufacturing plants at the disposal OF
the government last week.
That's all very well, but if our gov
eminent was half as efficient as it ought
to be our taxes wouldn't be so high
Quite so. And who puts inefficient peo-
pie in governmental jobs? You can't
blame Congress or the war. Think of
what might happen if a wave of patriot
ism should strike our citizens around
election day. Instead of going into the
booth and marking crosses opposite the
names of two men he knows, one man
who is an awfully good friend of Cousin
Elias husband, and nine men whom he
never heard of but who must be all right
because they belong to his party, the
average voter might actually spend two
or three hours looking up the political
records and professional qualifications
of the candidates and then vote for the
men he thought best qualified.

One of our favorite pastimes, for exam
pie, is cheating the government OF Our
country. Let me tell you a story
heard not long ago-a true story.
An American citizen, prominent one,
went to Europe year before last for al
extended visit Being a prominent
American citizen, he was invited to pub
lie dinners and public meetings. He was
also invited to speak at these gather
ings, and being a prominent American
citizen he did. He claimed, | believe, to
represent public opinion in America. In
the course of his speeches he spoke OF
merica's-unoficia America's-sym-
pathv with the Allied cause, said unklnd
things about the Administration. and
mourned the decline of American patr!-
otiSm.
Last wear he returned to America;
and when he passed through customs
the inspectors found ten thousand dol
lars worth of undeclared goods in his
trunks.
Not that he was an exception. partlc-
uIarly, except that the amount was bit
large and that he got caught. We al
look upon smuggling as more or less OF a
joke. Suppose some one offered to sell
YOU. cheap, a box of struggled cigais.
Would you spurn the offer Indignantly,
ON the ground that the smuggler had
robbed your country of fraction Of its
income? Somehow | doubt it.
Think. too, of the hours you spent,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-02-18

Congress should hesitate long before con-
ferring.' When Senator Overman, who
must have dangerous socialistic tendon
cies. still insisted, Senator Oliver deliv
cred the supreme, crushing argument
that finally killed the pernicious meas
ure. He said: 81 will not confer upon the
President of the United States or upon
any one else the power to do away with
anv bureau or to restrict any of the eX
ecutive departments as they have been
established year after year and term
after term by Congress. That settled
that.
If wave of patriotism had happened
TO hit the Senate Just about that time,
everything would have been much sim
plified. of course. The Senators would
have argued that if they could save the
country money it was their duty to do
so; and they might have done the abol-
ishing themselves, instead of first pass
ing the buck to the President and then
deciding that it would be dangerous to
allow him to have it.
Perhaps it is hardly fair to be t2o
hard on Congress. After all, Congress
claims merely to represent the people;
and after a brief consideration of orr
average annual per capita output OF
patriotism one is forced to the reluctant
conclusion that Congress probably does.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-02-18

vet, however. At present writing the
chief abiding place of Congressional
patriotism is the Congressional Record.
The Senate, too, would find patriotism
a great help. Last month, for example,
our Senators were debating the question
of consolidating certain governmental
bureaus and divisions. 1t was estimated
that by abolshing duplication of work
this measure would save the coun-
try about $3OOOO,000 year-almost
enough to pay for Congresses public
buildings expenditures. All the Scna-
tors admitted that the money should and
could be saved but they were afraid OF
the pressure that would be brought to
bear upon them by the people whose OF
fees had been abolished. Finally Sena-
tor Ogerman had happy thought. He
nut the responsibility for carrying out
the proposed reforms up to the Presi-
dent. and for further safety proposed
that the President carry them out dur
ING the vacation of Congress"
However, the bill didn't pass. Sena-
tor Oliver, of Pennsylvania, killed it. he
wasn't going to stand idly by and see the
country degenerate into monarchy. AS
he so cIeverly put it, the proposed bill
"confers powers upon the President that
