Signs to Make
Traffic Safe at
Bad Corner

In an effort to make traffic safe
within the narrow portion Of Don Gas
par avenue, between Water and San
streets, and at the two in.
tersections, the Santa Fe Water Il
Light company will place two iron
poles, seven feet high above the pave.
ment, in the center of Don Gaspar ave.
nue., one at San Francisco street and
the other at water street. These posts
will bear signs directing drivers OF
and other vehicles to
keep to the right in turning the cor
ners, and will make it dangerous for
them to attempt to turn the corners
at high speed. The posts will be top
ped with electric lights and large red
for night signaling.
An effort to put in the posts free
of charge to the city, in the event the
lights were paid for by the munich
pality, was made to the city council
last night by Manager Frank Owen Of
the Santa Fe Water G Light company,
and was unanimously accepted. The
work Of putting in the posts will be
undertaken at once.

SENTIMENT RULES EVEN IN
BUSINESS, SAYS WADLEIGE

Traffic Manager Frank A. Wadleigh
of the Denver & Rio Grande, Is a past
master of publicity. He knows its
value. He knows Santa FEES posi-.
bilities. He said today in his private
car here:
1T would be neglecting a publicity
asset worth $4,000 a year to the
owners and to the community to build
a tourist hotel in Santa Fe in any
ether but the distinctive Santa Fe
style. ! know something about pub
licity and the things that would adj
vertise themselves such as the Mis-
sion Inn at Riverside, Cal, and I know
that a tourist hotel along the lines OF
the new Museum, or the Water COM
pany building. or the Deaf and Dumb
school, would advertise itself, and
many a man and many a woman
would make the detour to Santa Fe
just to spend a day or two at such
a distinctive hotel and would be will
ing to pay almost any price for the
privilege. Sentiment rules the world
and it's generally the fellows who
have the money to pay who are most
ruled by sentiment"
SERIOUS MISTAKE NOT TO,
DECLARES COLONEL COLLIER
Colonel D. G. Collier, the moving
spirit in the success of the beautiful
San Diego exposition, one of the most
experienced promoters and publicity
experts in the southwest, declared
most emphatically today that it would
be a lamentable mistake to ignore
the great possibilities of a hotel with
typical architecture and surroundings.

in Santa Fe If the place is made suf-
ficiently attractive to them. Put them
up at a fine hostelry that is different,
that is unique and you've won half
the battle. An ordinary hotel, how
c0mmodious, has no pulling
power for this class. They can GO
elsewhere and stop at half million
dollar hotels. Look at the business

.LUCER0 AND PATTON
EACH TAKE PUNCH
AT JOHN BARLEYc0RA
FEWER SALOONS MEANS MORE
SCHOOLS, SAYS sEcRETARY or
STATE; ATTORNEY GENERAL
EXPECTS DRY VICTORY

The liquor traffic In New Mexico
got a severe slap in the face, and the
cause of statewide prohibition got q
corresponding boost today when the
dry headquarters here gave out for
publication a letter from Secretary OF
State Antonio Lucero and one from
Attorney General H. L. Patton, both
strongly espousing the dry cause.
In the opinion Of Secretary Lucero,
the CLOSING of the saloons In New
Mexico will mean the opening of more
school houses" In his letter, Sec
rotary Lucero says:
1.-THE closing Of the saloons in New
Mexico will mean, in my opinion, the
opening of more school houses and a
considerable decrease in the number
Of unfortunates in the p~enitentiary. A
man who has the welfare of the state
at heart ought not to have any trouble
In deciding how to vote upon the pro-
hibition question on the 9th Of next
November"
Attorney General Patton expresses
confidence in the result being a VIC
tory for the drys, declaring himself
in hearty accord with the prohibition
cause. He writes:
II am heartily in accord with the
cause of statewide prohibition in New
Mexico, and from expressions which
I hear from all parts of the state, l
am confident that the saloons will be
banished at the coming election In No
vember."
The recent declaration Of Governor
Lindsey for statewide prohibition, and
the similar %utterances from Chief JUS
tice Hanna, Of the supreme court, and
both associate justices, Roberts and
Parker, does not leave much comfort
for the saloon man around the New
Mexico capital. Practically every
state officer, it is declared, is openly
or secretly in favor of the statewide
dry policy. John Barleycorn does not
have a look in around the state house
at Santa Fe.

is WITH GERMAN PEOPLE, MADE
MONSTERS BY PRUSSIANISM


not consent to a peace that may brinl
us into contact with the generation
OF Germans whose armies have out
ragged. murdered, tortured, and pol
luted, and whose women at home hav'
applauded the outrages and murders
the fortunes. the pollutions.
The Most Horrible
There is q tale told OF the Germans
Ia tale which, more even than tn,
chronicle of their crimes and thel
oruelties, has sent q shudder through
the soul of Christendom-Uhe tale o
that sinister factory nesting among
dark pine forests, a factory with III
iron gates that let in, but do not le
out, its trucks laden with the bodie!
Of dead soldiers, its efficient, relent
less machinery. its hooks, its tubes, II;
boiling watts full of something that II
stirred by iron hands, its chemists
ceaselessly at work, its constant, busy
output Of little barrels of yellow oil
This story may be false. the whole
thing may have been invented by
some great artist who has known how
tn invest imagined horrors with the
overwhelming power Of truth. It may
be false. But then 1t may be true. II
may be true that the Germans make
oil and manure and food for pigs out
OF the bodies of men-fathers, lovers.
sons. soldiers who have died for their
country. There is nothing inherently
impossible in the story; II may be true
Of the Germans. There is not another
nation in the whole great world OF
which 1t could be true. Had this
story been told of the French or the
Italians, OF the citizens of the Unit
ed States or the savages of the Solo.
mon Islands, there could not have
been found on earth one mind to think
1t wen possible that 1t might be true.
But the Germans are not as the rest
of mankind, full OF faults, capable of
crimes; they are a nation apart. The
thing that is u~nhtinkable of every
other nation Is not unthinkable of
them. Reason accepts as probable. in
them, what in all other men is patent
~ impossible.
These things we should bear ever in
mind, never letting them be changed
or obscured by any accidental happen
ings, by any social or political incl
dents, nor even by the transferring
moonlight Of our own coming victory.
The Germans stand alone; they must
be changed, as education onlya can
change them, before any other nation
shall bear to let them stand again
with arms length.
Internal troubles and disunions and
discussions are maturing in Germany.
There will be, perhaps already is, a
conflict between the rich and the poor.
And when that conflict becomes
acute, and the news of it comes to US,
our %incorrigible generosity will tempt
El Nuevo mexicano., 1917-10-04

Us to side with the German people
against the German mobiles. We must
resist this temptation. 1t is not one
class only that Is the kaiser's creation,
made in his own image; 1t 10 all
classes. The governing classes know
we'll enough what Is before them, now
that they know that they can never
win this war. The governing classes
know that they will have to deal with
a people who have sold their soul and
find that they are not to have the
price of it. But they have sold their
soul, even though the devil, as usual,
has gilked them Perhaps this is why
the German soldiers are being sent to
death so recklessly, so uselessly. Per
haps these counter-attacks are not
wholly directed against us; perhaps
they are directed less against the
allied armies than against the German
army. The more men left on the lost
battlefield, the fewer there will be to
reckon with when the time comes for
kaiser and princes and generals and
politicians to stand before the bar OF
the people and own to a lost war. Per-
haps the kaiser says. Since the war
is lost, the fewer strong men who go
home to demand an account from us
the BETTER" Is this treachery impos-
sible? To any other nation, but to
Germany.
Germany must be purged.
Germany should, for a period OF
years, be ostracised, be set outside the
pale. Neither In trade nor in social
life should we be called upon to meet
this generation which WIlliamqof Hoh-
enzollern has set up. We do not want
to buy things made by the hands Of
torturers and ravishers, nor to touch
hands that have been dyed in the
blood of the innocent. We should
have no truck with Germany till the
generation has passed away which did
these things and approved these
things.
Mo matter what becomes of the
Hohenzollerns, the German nation
must do penance, and, If possible, be
purified. Part Of its penance NAV
we'll be hard and constant work, to
pay us a little of what 1t owes us for
the material wealth it has destroyed;
and its qualification must be wrought
where its degradation was achieved
in its schools. We should insist on an
education for German children which
may make them men and women, and
not swine. And when these children
are grown to men and women, then
perhaps u own son and daughters
may be able to take them by the hand,
to forgive, and to forget.
For us, we are not as President
Our quarrel is with the Ger
man people. And it is a quarrel to
the death.
