ialists of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, you are throwing away fat
which French housewives consider the finest
OF fats for making cakes and especially puff
paste. In certain seasons in New York and
other big cities, this fat Is so highly es-
teemed that It brings as much as $1.10 per
pound, So great is the demand for this fat
that many people make a business of col

try dressed. BY using chicken fat in cook
ing they can cut down the amount of fat
they must buy for that purpose, To pre-
pare 1t, try 1t out in a double boiler, or
other vessel set In hot water, until the fat
just melts away from the tissues and can
be poured off. This fat becomes rancid
easily and should be kept cool and covered
like butter and used in a very few days.
Chicken fat, like goose fat, may be used
for shortening in cakes such as spices cake
where the seasoning used will mask any
flavor which the fat might have. 1t can also
be used for frying the chicken itself or
other meats and for warming vegetables,

The Price of Coal

The federal trade commission says the
railroads are responsible for the coal short
age and the producers are responsible for
the high price Of coal.
The federal trade commission is com.
posed of experts who have made a study
of the situation and we are willing to take
their word for it. They declare there is
sufficient bituminous coal in the mines now
being operated to supply the country.
Meanwhile, all New Mexico consumers
know is that, for years, living in the midst
of one of the great coal producing sections
of the country, they have had to pay ex.
orbitant prices for coal,
The trade commission says the govern
ment may find it necessary to take steps
to regulate the distribution Of coal from
the mine to the cook-stove-7and establish
the prices. We are very strongly in favor
of the governments going as far as it likes
in this regard.

Hon. Billy Walton and
His Gold-M Mounted Bean
washington POST

Have you noticed that Representative
William B. Walton, of New Mexico, is wear
ing the latest thing in scarf pins?
No? Well, look again. All, you observe
a strange looking gem reposing in the bos-
ON of his four-in-hand. Naturally you cata-
logue 1t with the precious variety. And
you wouldn't be far from wrong, at that, for
it is a bean, and you know beans and po-
|tatoes and other such homely edibles are
now rivalling in price diamonds and pearls
1t is a pinto bean, named after the pinto
pony, the two being New Mexico's most
famous products. The pinto pony is spotted
and so is the pinto bean. The pony was
there first, so when the bean became poput
lar, because of its spots, 1t was called the
pinto,
The bean Representative Walton Is wear
ing is handsomely set in two spirals OF
gold and we'll mounted. 1t is a present
from M. r. Gonzales, county. agricultural
agent at Las Vegas. When the farmers
down there hear that Mr.. Walton is wearing
q pinto in his scarf, he will be popular
enough to make the next race without cam.
paigning.
There are $4,000, 900 pounds of pinto beans
raised annually on the dry farms of New

Americas Defense of
International Right
BY Roland G.. Usher Of the vtniIantes
Author of "Pan-Germanism''. and "The
Challenge of the Future"

The United States has entered the war
with the full realization that the existence
of a new international order after the war
depends very largely upon the part which
this country shall play in the war.
Not our words but our deeds-are import
ant.
The international council has hitherto
as a matter Of fact been controlled by the
great European powers. It's decisions have
been based primarily upon European poll
cies. The reason has been that there was,
outside Europe, no power which could in
definite fact compare in military, naval, and
economic force with the greater European
powers. Whatever we may call interna-
tionaf relationship, mo government truly in
ternational can exist until there is at least
lone non European power admittedly the
equal of any of the great European powers
themselves.
This must be a question of fact and not
of theory. +
This non-European power need not have
the greatest army nor the greatest navy,
but it must possess striking force and in
dustrial organization capable of immediate
utilization, It's actual resources available
DIT any ulOIutut muSt NC SUCH DIS 10 CduSe
all European powers to feel that no de-
%cision can be reached upon any information
al question without consulting this nom
European power. Until such a power shall
actually exist, a new international order,
actually as well as theoretically internation-
al, will remain a desirability and not a
fact .fa44
The United States must become that
power.
In the interest Of the rest of the world
and of the neutral states in Europe the
United States must become the one great
nQn-European power which must be con-
suited upon every international decision of
the slightest consequence. The duty of the
United States therefore in the defense Of
international Right, in the interest of inter
national organization at the close of the
war, is the prosecution of the war in real
earnest, and the organization of this coun-
try's potential force in such fashion that
it can never again thinkably be ~disregarded.
The part we play in the war will more
than any other one thing decide the rela-
~tionship OF the United States to Europe in
the future. Upon the reality of our inter-
national status, moreover, will depend the
character of the new international govern
ment which will certainly be forced at the
close of this war. II at the end of it the
really great forces in the world are all
European, that government will not be
truly international. If at the end of it the
United States shall have, achieved an actual
equality in organization with the greatest
powers of Europe, international %organiza-
tion will be a fact, congress or no congress-,
theories or no theories, codes or nc codes.
Facts are facts and we have it now in our
power to make a new international fact.
We may rejoice that in achieving this fact
we shall achieve it literally more in the in
%terest of others than in our own.

Only Start

1t appears that the civilized world has
made only a start in persuading the imper
ial Hohenzollern that he is not to occupy
the role of emperor of the universe. The In
formation of government agents as out
lined in yesterdays dispatches is that the
German autocracy is still confident OF sue
rcess in its "Mitteleuropa" scheme Of con
solidating the strategic half of Europe, from
the North Sea to the Mediterranean, into
IAN impregnable military and economic
unit upon which the later and greater
world-empire is to be built.
The significance of this information IL
not that such a world empire of the Ger
man is to be feared, but that Germany
is still far enough from defeat to retain
confidence that she can carry out such a
fantastic scheme; fantastic Notwithstanding
how many nations Germany may have con
quered for the time being in central Eur
ope. 1t has been demonstrated that the
people of Germany can be made to hunger
that the armies Of Germany can be de
feated and wiped out, that the voice OF
Democracy in Germany is becoming stead
lily louder and more insistent, and that
virtually every other country in the world
will sooner or later be aligned in the
fight to explode this bubble of a German
world-dominion.
G~ermany's, obsession that she can Ger
mamie the world has no basis in fact. She
could not in all, these years Germanize AL
SAGE and Lorraine; she cannot Germanize
Belgium without exterminating the Bel
gians to the last man; she could not even
Germanize the Germans in the United
States into effective or formidable factors
for her aid. But she still cherishes her mad
Prussian dream; and there is much work
to do before Prussianism is SO crushed that
not even the P~russomapia is left. In another
year OF war France will have lost, at the
present rate, the increase in population
gained since 1870; Britain is reaching the
zenith of her m%an-power; and it is more
and more becoming evident that not only
viii the war last for two or three years
more, but that the United States must bear
the brunt of the war for that period. q

despite the staggering reverses which the
Germans have received and the astound.

an uncomfortable conflagration OF pestilence,
something that must be methodicaliy and
scientifically and unwaveringly met and
fought and wiped out at-whatever cost,
knowing always that no cost of success
can be more disastrous than defeat.
The world will not have Pan-Prussianism
and the world will fight until it is gone,
There may be a temporary peace of ex'
haustion; there can be no lasting peace
until the job is done; and every soldier,
citizen, farmer. artisan, scientist, inventor,
laborer, thinker, man, woman and child in
the United States of America must force
himself or herself to realize that we have
put our hands to a task which cannot
be abandoned until it rs finished.

Russia

The Russian government has succeeded,
apparently in restoring some degree of CO
hesion and unity of purpose in the empire
and the manifesto declaring that a Nsepar-
ate peace proposal will not be entertained
is reassuring, even though it may not mean
that Russia will be an effective factor in
the war.
At any rate the outlook as this is writ
ten is immensely more encouraging to the
allies. The visit of the American commits
sion, moreover, ought to have a profound eff.
feet in disseminating through Russia an in
telligent conception of the fact that Russia's
fight against autocracy didn't end when
Nicholas Romanoff was deposed.

A Canadian Alliance

The English speaking nations are in this
war to maintain the democratic idea against
German military ~despotism. What this
means for Europe and for the American
continent Is foresha owed in the war meas
ures of the allied nations. These wal
measures have revol, ,tionized society. Never
again may the belligerent countries revert
to pre-war conditions in the relations OF
the citizens to the state, of capital to labor
Of nation to nation, or of man to man, says
the Toronto Globe.
Swept away forever are the hidebound
traditions which in the past impeded re.
forms along democratic lines. The millions
OF men engaged in the war and millions
more at home will never relinquish their
hold on the fundamentals of national eff,
cheney which statesmen have put forward
as necessary for purposes Of war. What
democracy had been assured was impos
sible has been accomplished in the prosecu.
ton of war. What the nation has found to
be practical and helpful in days of war
CANNOT be set aside as impossible of reali.
cation in days Of peace.
On this continent Canada and the United
States have been brought into closer rela,
tions as belligerent countries, united by a
common resolve to defend and perpetuate
democratic government and democratic
thought. The future is opening out for
Canada-a future indissolubly bound tI
