WANTS HATES LEVELED.


The general increase in passenger
and freight rates the country over,
to take effect June 10th, has brought
Hugh H. Williams, chairman Of the
state corporation commission Of New
Mexico, back nto his old fight to
bring the rates in this state to a
lower level, and he has addressed a
communication to Secretary W @.
McAdoo at Washington calling his
attention to the high passenger rates
charged over some lines IN the state.
In some cases this is as high as 5
cents mile, not including Pullman
fare. Mr.. Williams has asked. Mr..
McAdoo that the rate the state over
be lowered to the maximum men
toned in the recent order, which Is
3l-2 cents per milo, including Pun
man fare.
Freight rates also have come in foI
Mr.. Ely's attention, any raise in
which be declares viii work a con-
siderable. hardship on the people Of
the state. He declares that both
inter- and intra state rites in The
pasi have operated to discriminate
against the development and growth
Of The state. "This is q new state,

Nat Goodwin's famous farce,
Confusion" is the bill for the rest Of
the week at Teal's theater, where the
0rpheum Follis company came last
week for an indefinite stay. The
0rphem company has made good in
a most emphatic way already as a
successor to the Teal company,
which enjoyed q tremendous popular
ity from the first day of its long stay
in Deming, and we look for them to
establish just as strong a following,
Confusion" is a play in which their
unusual entertaining abilities are
given full opportunity for display
and the opportunities are certainly
made the most of. You would laugh
no harder at the presentation Of
Goodwin himself. The bill at the Teal
will change twice a week, just as
when the Teal company was here.

TWICE TURN BACK
 THE GERMAN FLOOD
(Review of Reviews)

1 Twice, at the Marne and at Verdun, the French alone, for the British share in the Marne was nothing, have ar rested the German flood, stopped it. turned it back, retained the field at the end of the struggle and the prizes that go with the victory. To have forecast in 1914 that France could do this would have been to invite ridicule in Berlin and dubitation in France. And this is the great and enduring con- | tribution of France in the war. It is not in the power of the country infer | for in population and resources to its great neighbor to win an offensive bat tie. The battles of Champagne in 1915, | of the Aisne this year, demonstrate this.
 The United States, Great Britain, l Russia must turn :he French achieve ment into the final profit; they must defeat the German whose two great efforts France has parried and beaten down. And since Russia is out of the running, the burden falls upon the United States and Britain. Already Britain has, made beginning. The Somme, Arras, Messines-these are material and promising signs. But Russian collapse has released German troops and these troops demand fresh allied forces to face them; so the struggle goes over another year.
 Yet just as Antietam and Gettysburg were the highwater marks of the Con- federacy, the Marne and Verdun are enthusiastically the supreme limits of German effort. A victory on either I field would have won the war; defeat on both fields made victory impossible in the larger sense. Nearly two years separated Gettysburg from Appomat- l tox. But the power of the south of 1 fensively, was broken in the first days | of July, 1863. All the chances that they could hope to have were with them | and they lost And all the chances were with the Germans both at the Marne and at Verdun. They had far greater advantage than Lee had, l for he WIS outnumbered and outgunned on both fields.
 The proof of this is that after Yer l dun. after the campaign of 1916, the

 But it is one thing to secure a sig nature, and another to read it-and in this case it was unintelligible to the salesman. So the most difficult point in the transaction was still ahead Af- ter profuse gesticulations and expla- nations he somehow convinced the Mexican that it would be all right for him to disclose his identity.
 So the vulcanizer with majestic sweep of the arm toward his front window seemingly indicated that his name could be found there. The salesman sailed suavley out of the shop to find in perfect alignment on the window the sign, "Llantos Tu- bos," all of which was noted on the order

REO HEAD DEPL0RES PATRIOTISM NOTE
 IN ADVERTISING
DECLARES MANUFACTURER OR DEALER SHOULD SELL CARS
 PURELY ON MERIT

If you have noticed a pleasing absence of appeals to patriotism in Rec automobile advertising, it is in tentional," says General Manager Scott of the Rec Motor Car com pany.
 T sometimes wonder at the af- frontery- of business men who use so sacred a thing as our national patriotism to push the sale of their wares.
 Seems to me it is prostituting mans finest emotion to very ordi- nary, if not a base, purpose.
 We are just as alert to further the reputation of the Rec product as any other manufacturer car be, but we do not believe in stopping to such methods by telling the buyer that it is your patriotic duty to buy, etc, etc.
 Nor do we believe that as a firm it is right for us to Haunt before the eyes of everybody the little part we are so fortunate to play in helping Uncle Sam along with his war pla1..
 That is our patriotic duty and ouf privilege-it is as unseemly to ad- vertise the fact as it would be to exploit personal charities or to press agent ones actlVltleS III tHe interest of public welfare.
 T have been astounded to note that some concerns chat are manned by individuals who, in private life, would seem to be above such meth ods. have made the most fragrant abuse of the word patriotism in this form.
 We Rec folk hope to do our part if it were not for violation of what I have just said above, might specify how and in what dirdections we are and have been doing our part-but we do not feel that we are any more entitled to public patronage on that account
 Tn fact, if somebody else makes a better automobile, we would feel that we were less entitled to hls patronage or his confidence.
 If the quality of the product ltsei1 is sufficient grounds for exploitation in peace times, surely we can ad- here to those same qualities in war times and without appropriatlng to our own little personal advantage the quality of patriotism that all Americans feel and which, like re- ligion. can be played upon by those who are sufficiently irreVerent to | do so

DON'T LIKE MISTER"
 THEY USE ESQUIRE
lphila. North American)

To the mind of the average Amer ican John Jones, Esq, and MT. Joiili Jones" are exactly the same, put Tn England and, indeed, throughout the British Isles, the distinction between the two is so definite that campaign is now being waged to prevent the use of esquire save by those Who nave a right to the title. For title It Is Ill British eyes. and so proud of It are most of those who have. it that they will nav extra to have it added to thelr names in printed lists of citizens, and will protest angrily to anyone Who ,,ares to send a letter addressed Just to ''Mr So and So.' Indeed, AAS irate Engishman de- clared that noS enly was 1t an insult to him but it was ba1 -r the tone of the whole household for the servants to see letters about addressed with just a MT. instead of esquire, While other men have carried their quarrels over it almost to court because they believed the man who wrote the letter addressed them with deliberate inten- ton to annoy them when they omitted the esquire from the envelope of letters.
 The fact remains. however. that it is quite as much a source of annoy ance when the esquire is used to per- sons who have no right to it, and the difficulties of the American in London who fears to insult a man by not ad dressing him as esquire, or insulting others by using it are easy to imagine.
 Common usage has of course to a great extent made its use permissible to "all who are gentlemen of good standing," but the title itself belongs only to the sons of noblemen or those holding office under the crown.
 The word itself means shield bearer and originally the eSquires were the companions. of the knights, carrying their shields into the lists or in battle and ranking next to the knights them selves, and much higher than the mere valet or attendant. To be an esquire one had to be a member of titled house, though the title itself originally went with the office, not the office with the title, but when times changed and being a knight meant bearing a title instead of a shield, the word "esquire" became in itself a sort of title.

and he took it on his own responsi- bility.
 Things are different now" con- tlnued MT. McArthur, flor after me- chanics and painters get through with used car, some of them can hardly be told from a new one and instead of being in the basement, the used car department occupies prominent space in every up-to-date automobile building.
 McArthur Brothers have adopted a policy of having big used car clear ance sales twice a year, a sale of two weeks duration, during which time special prices are made.
 The first 1918 used car sale starts with us January 19 and to give you an idea of the prominence of this event, we are moving all of our new cars from the first floor and the entire salesroom will be devoted to used car selling.
 About 60 cars will be placed on sale and the efforts of all our sales men will be placed on used cars dur ing this period.
 So you can see, said MT McArthur, that McArthur Brothers semi an nual used car sale will make the
