The Hide Business

The editor of the Albuquerque Morning
Journal in a communication to himself ii
yesterdays issue virtually admits the charge
alleged to have been hurled at him by the
Reverend R. Z. Farley in a public meeting in
the Duke City, that the sac editor was dis
posed to have inclinations tending toward
the removal Of the political cuticle of the
governor Of New Mexico and the superimr
posing of the said executive epidermis upon
one certain back yard fence; this drastic and
extreme measure being suggested, it is al
legged by the governors action in suspending
preparations for the guard camp at Albu
querque until the city met his wishes as to
the protection of the soldiers from booze.
1t is intimated by the editor in question
that the idea of such politico-dermatologi-
cal operations was entertained by reason OF
the fact that the governors action was bas-
ed, not on the refusal of the council and
mayor to meet his wishes with a strict sa-
loon regulation ordinance; but on account
of the governors personal pique because
Of certain slurring remarks attributed to
the mayor of Albuquerque, including the
statement that the saloon license money
was worth more to albuquerque than the ma
tional guard camp.
5 There might be an analogy TO this reason
ing in the case of the cop who arrested the
tramp because the latter called him a flat
foot and robbed a hencoop;s or the incident
Of the employe who quit because he didn't
like the style of the boss whiskers and be-
cause his salary was stopped. When you
go to- segregating and differentiating rea
sons you get in deep water. We believe it
is rather logical and natural to conclude
that the governor acted as he did because
tho mayor Of the largest city in New Next
co was quoted as making the astonishing
statement that saloon revenue was worth
more to it than the honor, revenue and
privilege of having the mobiIization ami
training camp of the New Mexico's first
soldiers to enter the war with Germany. 1t
seems to us that all the personal pique in
the world ought not to have restrained the
governor from taking the prompt action
which resulted in an immediate change OF
front by Albuquerque.
1t appears indiscreet to talk of attempting,
to go into the executive hide exhibition
business, because the governor took a firm
stand for the protection OF The young men

III Acres Must Feed
Each Person in World

The June Farm and Fireside says:
"The earth has a tri1e less than 1877, 000.-
900 square miles Of total surface. A little
over a fourth of this surface is land, IS, 000,-
900 square miles of it. And of this rs, 5000, 900
square miles, or & scant fraction over one
half, is soil that can be used for food pro-
duction. The rest Is desert, mountain range
and polar regions. A little of this might pos
sihly be reclaimed, but not very much.
80 here we have two vital facts in the
practical geography Of today: There are
/, 900, 900, 900 people on the earth to feed.
and $4,000, 900 square miles of tillable land
with which to do it. Or, reduced to figures
in which we are more accustomed to think,
this means that one person has to live off
the production of IL acres, on an average,
the world over. Don't say 1T can't be
DONE for it must be done or somebody will
starve. In Belgium today, as for the last
two years, helpless mothers watch their
babies slowly starved to death before their
eyes. Poland is in almost as pitiable a
plight, judging from the fragmentary re-
ports that have filtered through, and all Eu-
rope is suffering to som extent, the poor es-
pe~cially."-

A Good Way to Save

In encouraging the peop,e of America to
save it is believed that the Liberty Loan
Bonds are going to perform an important
function in our national life. The small de-
nomination Of some of the bonds renders it
practical for the ordinary wage Garner to
purchase one with the savings of a few
months, and the banks Of the country have
undertaken to provide for the purchase of
these bonds in small weekly or monthly pay
ments.
BY devoting each week or each month to
the purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds such
little sum of ready money as are often frit-
ted away for useless things one can not on
ly acquire property that ranks among the
very best securities in the history of the
world, but can at the same time feel that a
patriotic duty has been performed and a
habit. of saving acquired.
OF course the ultimate result of this war
will be a victory for America, but what the
effects of the war will be upon America and
American people is unknown. When such
an unknown future confronts us prudence
demands that contingencies be provided for.
No one knows how great a help savings in
vested in a Liberty Loan Bond may be a few
years hence.
And your savings not only will be absolute
.ly secure but will be constantly bringing in
interest-an income absolutely free from
taxation and absolutely certain.
There are other possibilities--they might
better be called probabilities-and one Is
that the Liberty Loan Bonds, when peace
ONE and money now in active industrial
use will be seeking quiet investment, may
bring a handsome premium.
The Liberty Loan Bonds offer every incen-
tive to, saving-easy payments, absolutely
safe security, a service done to the country,
and a probable handsome profit.

The Governors Stand

Whether or not AlbuquerQue's belated &C
quiescence comes. in time to save the mo
bilization camp or the guard for the Duke
city Governor Lindsey is to be congratulate
ed for his firm and Incorporating stand
for full protection Of the morals Of the en-
listed men in this state. 1t is unnecessary
to say that he has had every father and
mother with him in his stand. 1t must be
borne in mind that most Of these recruits
are young boys. They leave conventional
home surroundings, are placed largely on
their own resources during hours of leisure,
former restraints are removed, and if the
opportunity presents itself the rookie" is
likely to feel inclined to go the limit. He
has to have recreation and is disposed,
naturally, to follow the line of least resist
ance in getting it. 1t is this demand which
the army Y. M. C. A. is so successfully sat,
isfying with games and reading matter and
athletics and refreshments and other whole.

sonable measures for the protection of the

ment that the saloon license money was
worth more than the guard camp to Albu-
querque were somewhat astonishing. The
state will be glad to see Albuquerque back
water, wherever. the camp is located. 1t was
well-nigh inconceivable to hear of the larg-
est city in the state in this time of patri-
otto appeal taking such a position.

newspaper getting very far on such a plat
form. We are sure the esteemed editor OF
the Journal will repent his hasty utterances
and call off the barbecue. Its a rather
flimsy tale he would have go WITH the hide.
To attribute the governors action to per

Hike reproving the petty spite of the father
who licked his son because Johnny had just
burned down the barn and told his father
he was an old billy-goat.
These being Of course mere ratiocinative
analogies, with no intention OF likening the

looter. He simply made a bad break.

A Dollar or a Ouietus

If you own a dog-if you take the trouble
to W him--it must be worth a dollar to

better dead. There is a large and increasing
number of these better-dead dogs in Santa

must be tagged or executed. He is jingling

tration unimportant, but the problem has
simply been crowded to one side until a
more favorable day.
When the story. is told of the American
arrested in London as a German spy, unable
to obtain a birth certificate because his birth
had never been recorded and because the
doctor had died, but finally saved by the
discovery of an old letter which, told of his
birth, the people grasp the point aud agree
that births should be registered; but as the
story relates TO somebody far away, some
body unknown, and probably never heard of
before the point is soon forgotten and no
wave of strong public opinion is ever really
started. So too the statements that birth
records are needed to prove men Of voting
age, to establish old age pensions and pen
sions for the children Of soldiers, to es-
tablish rights of inheritance, to determine
how efficiently the states are protecting tho
health of the children, and to determine who
is entitled to the protection Of our flag
these statements are too apt to be. treated
as old axloms which call for no immediate
reform.
The need for complete birth registration
is recognized but the inertia Of the people
still prevails. 3e

civilization are settled slowly, but not so in
