The Food Situation

In New York the mothers have been
shrilly clamoring before the mayors office
for bread.
1t hasn't quite resched that stage before
the office of the governor of New Mexico.
GIVE us pie or we perishl" is the heart
rending cry which echoes through the CAPT
toll building.
Today their hats have been hanging on
the nails so thick it has kept three Office
boys busy picking them up, reports from
the state house say. The seats Of the chairs
have been worn down to the thickness of
milk-tickets and the trail worn in the floor
is several inches deep.
Today and tomorrow it is quite likely
that Governor Lindsey will be furnished an
immense amount of advice. Probably he
will get more advice than ever furnished
any other executive in the same length of
time. This reminds us of the man who was
compelled to see all the Chicago exposition
in four hours. Too much advice admins
tered at one time is likely to leave only
a hazy impression.
To be perfectly frank, the probabilities
are that the old Republican organization
will put the big squeeze on Governor Lind
sey today and tomorrow.
The handle of the squeezer, however, is
badly fractured, according to all reports.
Meanwhile the governor continues to adhere
to bis determination to be governor, not
for the Old Guard, but for the people OF
New Mexico. He is in a peculiarly adj
vantageous position to stand the pressure.
He owes responsibility only to the state and
its citizens. He has no record which may
be attacked, he comes into the JOB with
clean hands, and has a tremendous oppor-
tunity to give New Mexico the best admin
i~stration it has ever had. The people of
New Mexico are confident that all tho wiles
and threats of the old Republican machine
so thoroughly repudiated at the last cleo
ton will avail nothing to swerve the gov
ernor from the path OF duty to the public
and from his expressed determination to
seek only legislation and appoint only men
such as will serve the cause Of public eff
cheney and good government.

NEW GOVERNOR HAS
CHANCE OF LIFETIME
(Portales Valley News.)

lP0rtales valley News
Mr.. Lindsey has the opportunity of his
lifetime. Should he justify the predic-
tons Of those who have faith in him,
he would be an almost invincible can
didate to succeed himself, which laud-
able ambition he canno help but har-
Dor. On the other hand, should he
choose the other course, his political
career would come to an untimely end.
Those who are acquainted with the old
guard know full well that they would
lever submit to having a rank out
slider, one who had consistently fought
them for four years, and one who pro-
fesses to have nothing in common with
them, to thrust them aside and usurp
the best Office within the gift of the
people. These old line Republicans are
slow to forget and swift to punish, and
Mr.. Lindsey should be sufficiently astute
to realize that whatever of political
preferment he is to receive must, of ne
of the party. Should he do the graceful
thing, the reasonable thing, he will per-
NIT the appointments OF the late Gov
ernor De Baca to stand and to insist
upon their confirmation and to follow
the lines laid down in the message OF
his predecessor. This would give him
a following in the state that would
render any movement toward his elimin-
alton by the old crowd abortive and
make him the almost unanimous choice
of his party two years hence The News
can never be the champion of Mr.. Lind
sey politically, but it can and does hope
that he will prove that his friends have
not misjudged him, and that he will
make good in his exalted capacity. He
is the governor of the state and as such
should be assisted in all things that
make for the betterment of the people
generally, and to this end the News will
lend it's help.
El Nuevo mexicano., 1917-03-01

The Republican Mutual Admiration So
ciety, with a few jarring notes audible in
the chorus Of love and affection, has spent a
day or 30 discussing at considerable length
what ails the party and political physicians
have prescribed remedies all the way from
mental and spiritual healing to calomel and
castoria.
Why shouldn't the Republican organiza.
ton be frank with itself and look this thing
in the face?
Charlie Spiess came the nearest to a
common-sense prescription. He gave som
brutal figures to show what the party Is up
against and what 1t must do II 1t defeats
the growing Democratic vote next election.
He also told the inevitable and inescapable
truth when he informed the central com
mittee that to win 1t absolutely had to
have the independent and Progressive vote.
The r u Of the whole matter-as every
Republican knows in his insides-is that
the leadership of the party has to pass into
new hands. The men who are running the
organization have been running 1t for q
quarter of a century. Their day is past.
1t is useless for these men to Come for
ward each succeeding campaign and declare
that they are Progressives, that they are all
full of entirely new political ideas and that
they are ready to give the party the leader
ship 1t needs. 1t is a case of old wine
in new bottles. 1t won't work. The men
who have held and sought Office for several
decades past and who have bossed the Re-
publican party to death must now retire.
Retirement does not mean getting out OF
sight and pulling the wires. 1t means turn
ing over the actual control Of the party to
the newer and younger men, who are not
puppets of the old crowd, men who are
younger and newer and fresher and abso-
lutely free from the old affiliations and the
old methods and ideas, nor does retirement
mean getting out of the party.
We Like the frankness Of Charlie Spiess
about the Old Guard. He doesn't profess
that there isn't any Old Guard and that he
is a brand-new Progressive and everybody
is a Progressive and that there being no
reactionaries in the party, they are the ones
who caused the recent defeat at the polls.
He admits he belongs to the Old Guard and
declares the Old Guard is something the
party has to have il it is going to show
the votes. We gather, however, that Mr..
Spiess realizes that the Old Guard must
get back into the ranks and let the New
Guard lead. Spiess is a seasoned and
shrewd politician who won't deliberately
blind himself to a condition when it is star
ing him in the face.
Why bubble, and beat around the bush?
The warehouses; are spawned and suffering
from stringhalt; they are %windbroken and
they interfere; and they get left at the post.
The Republican party in New Mexico has to
become progressive in fact and, not merely
on the label if it is going to get the votes.
Spiess told it some real truths yesterday.
Governor Lindsey pointed the way in his
speech last night. And as sure as the
sun rises, If the old bosses don't get out
of the saddle the time is coming when they
will be lifted out.

LAS CRUCES CITIZEN
HAS UTMOST CONFIDENCE
(Ias Cruces Citizen

M &. t&F"@ f1N ."
The Citizen believes that Governor
Lindsey is distinctly a man Of eminent
qualifications to- fulfill not only his du-
ties as governor OF this state, but as
titular head of the Republican party.
He belongs to that progressive group
OF thinkers, who, while thorough party
men, are yet not SO tightly bound by
party chains that they fail to- realize
that progress, observation-disclosures and ef-
f~ciency are the correct political doc
tines Of the day and age. The Citizen
has unbounded faith in Governor Lind
sey. While we confidently expect him
to maintain and build up In every way
the Republican party organization In
this state, we just as confidently believe
that he will be his own man and not
the s~ervitor of any man or self-seeking
element in the party; he will know how
to listen to and act upon the counsels :
of the best men of all schools Of thought
in the Republican party and how to
weigh and properly value and adjust the
opinions and preferences of all citizens.
Of whatever party who come before him.
Governor Lindsey's responsibility to
the Republican party is great; his &C
tions, more than all else, will determine !,
the mediate future Of that party in New
Mexico, but Governor Lindsey's respon-
sibility to the people OF New Mexico is
still greater and higher; the success and
happiness Of all the people, insofar as
he can influence them. should be his
first consideration and that is the high
est and best political doctrine we know
of. We have all faith in the common
sense, good judgment, high purpose and
pure ideals OF our new executive and be-
lieve that this faith will be amply justi-
fed in the light Of future events.

For the Good Of the Party

One of the New Mexiean's ~favorite in
door sports is giving advice to the Republi-
can organization. 1t relieves us and ap-
p~arently doesn't feaze the organization.
And yet a newspaper worth being the ia
vorite DOGGY of the G.. O.. p. organization
ought to be worth listening to, when you
come to think about it. ,
Previous to the last Iamented nominating
convention Cap CLEARWATER, the chairman;
H. O.. Bursum and Frank Hubbell, the can
didates, came to the New Mexican and asked
our opinion. We gave it freely and told
the gentlemen we would support the right
kind of a Republican ticket, but would fight
their kind to the last a~cequia. We then
with as much solemnity as we could sum.
mon, warned the party what would happen
IL it nominated these men. They did it,
told us to go to the blooming devil-and it
happened. That was the second time it had
happened in face OF the same identical kind
Of a warning.
The Republican state central committe IL
in session in Santa Fe today "for the good
of the party" At the risk of again being
told to go to the devil, we are going to
make a suggestion for what we consider the
good of the party.
H. o. Bursum for a quarter of a century
has been the hywheel of the Old Guard Re-
publican organization in New Mexico. He
typifes the old territorial organization
crowd. He always has and always will and
1t is mere piffe to argue anything else.
AT two elections the party has made the
most desperate efforts in it's history to elect
II. o.. Bursum governor.
Each time IL has registered a spectacular
failure, despite bodies of slush fund and
every expedient known to politicians OF the
kind who put Bursum and Hubbell on the
ticket.
Now the most ordinary political shrewd-
ness and all considerations OF party expedi-
ency demand the retirement of a man who
has twice failed to get across though backed
by all the resources Of the organization. 4
Mr., Bursum wants to say that a split in
the party did 1t, the answer is the same.

STRONG MAN NOW IN
THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR

(Silver City Enterprise.)
Washington e. Lindsey, the new gov
ernor of New Mexico, is a man of pro-
gressive tendencies, being a Progressive
Republican in every sense of the word.
He holds advanced ideas on prohibition,
woman's suffrage, and other public
questions which are just now prominent
before the people. Yet he is conserva-
tive in his execution, believing these
reforms should come not by revolution
but by evolution. That these should
be a gradual awakening of the people
to the ~desirability of the reforms after
which the reforms will come of their
own accord. That the time must be ripe
and the moment opportune for carry
ing out the work in order to insure its
complete success.
The public and private life of the
new governor is absolutely above re-
preach, he being a devout church mem
Der and having always allied himself
in every good cause in his community
docking to the betterment of mankind.
We believe New Mexico has a strong
man in the executive chair and that he
will give a good account of himself be-
fore the administration is over. He can
be assured the loyal and united sup
port of the people of Grant county as
long as his efforts are confined to Civ
ing the people Of New Mexico. a clean,
honorable administration of the execu.
tive duties of his office-and knowing
the man and his record in the past, the
Enterprise believes it can pledge him to
our people to give just that kind of
administration and none other.

OF all the odd twists to which fate
has treated a trustful nation in The re-
cent past, the oldest is that by which
New Mexico now is possessor of a Re-
publican governor.
All the bitterness, the labor, the fury,
in fact, of the political campaign in
our young state is too recent history
to be worthy OF repetition now; out of
1t came seeming defeat to a band of
citizens--but they had one solace which
was, that the next in line to the gov
ernorship of the state was an able, hon

Until lately II was not known wheth-

infect more than one person. Recent
experiments Of the public health serv-

have proved that an infected malnrial
mosquito. can infect several persons
without again obtaining blood from an
original source of infection, and that
an infected mosquito retains her abll-
ity to infect with malaria for at least
25 days. Even If mosquito empties
her available supply of malarlal para
sites into one man she may infect n
second man few hours or few days
later through a new generation Of para
sites. This is n most important dis
covery, for 1t shows that the indlvld-
ual disease-laden insect is vertable

Il emphasizes the necessity for stamp
Ing out the breeding places Of the ma

Gray Whale still Lives.

Half century ago the gray whale.
known on the West coast as the devil
fish, appeared there in numbers every
year, coming SO close inshore that the
Indians often killed the great sea crea-
lures from their canoes. Later the
whales changed their route, and tray
eled fur out TO sen. but there whalers
found them and the whales won their
name of deyllfish by the courage and
strength they showed in destroying the
boats Of the harpooners. Finally they
disappeared, and were believed extinct
until 1912, when Roy Chapman An
drews, naturalist of the American
Museum Of Natural History discovered
that the gray whale IS stlll abundant
off the coasts of Korea.
