ALBUQUERQUE PROSPEROUS.

The advertising manager OF the
Journal has learned by inquiry among
the merchants of albuquerque that
their cash sales during December mas
been about fifteen per cent, in most
cases. higher than were the cash sales
a wear ago, and still higher than two
years ago during the same period.
This is a marvellous record in the
face of the fact that Bernalillo county
has invested about three million doll
lars in Liberty Bonds and thrift
stamps. and has also contributed lib-
erally--more than its apportonment
to such war work as the Red Cross
the y. NJ. c. A. and the Is. of G. ana
the Y. w. C. A., and other calls which
have come to us during the past
twelve months.
We have had no direct benefits from
the building and occupancy Of canton
ments and other sorts of training
camps. We have had no war contracts,
no employment of labor in factories
stimulated by the war. Our money has
gone elsewhere.
But the reason for Albuquerque
prosperity is not difficult to state--ir
fact there are two reasons. First of all
| the wages of railroad employees have
been advanced and the saloons have
! been closed since the first of October
! These things have brought prosperity
| to our people.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS---
WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS
BY JOSIAH II. REED.

In most of the articles up to this
point Rhave emphasized the points of
similarity between nations and indi-
viduals and have insisted upon the
importance of applying to nations the
standards of right and wrong that we
are used to among individuals Men
as individuals sometimes lie and steal
and plot to uotwit their neighbors,
and we all feel that such things are
wrong. But men, combined in ma
tons. allow their foreign offices to lie
and steal and plot to outWlt their
neighhors. and people in general have
not felt that such things We're wrong
at all. These foreign offices talk
about national destiny and the neces-
sity for expansion as though such
phrases could excuse anything. They
advocate for their nation courses
which everybody would immediately
condemn If any private corporation
undertook them.
In many ways this comparison of
men and nations is useful. 1t suggests
that as men have a government over
them to enforce justice. SO the nations
must have a league to enforce Justice.
And Just as all men are in the gov
eminent, so ultimately all nations
must be in the league.
SO far so good. However, in many
| ways the Illus ration is not satistac-
tory If there were no other instances
| of the ways men can unite, this one
| alone might be insufficient.
| But as matter of fact history pre-
/, sents us with number of cases. Aus"
/ tralia is a federated commonwealth

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

II is now announced that the sale of
war savings stamps will be continued
into 1919. Hallett Reynolds, In
charge of that work in New Mexico,
announces that the same sales agents
will be automatically continued.
When the thrift stamp plan for in
vestment in government securities was
devised, the greatest opportunity for
founding self-made completeness was
offered to the Amer can people.
Americans are not greatly inclined
to endow themselves They usually
have little esteem for small coins,
The strength Of the war stamp savings
plan is its power to convert loose

suaded to buy thrift stamps not be-
cause they hoped to start a savings ac-
count, but just 10 help out the gov
eminent Now that the war is over
they are using their stamps as trading
stamps and are spending them freely
for current expenses. Many of them

Portable financial circumstances must
put himself there by slow degrees, as
rule. This rule is SO general that
there are few exceptions to it, The
fairy godmother and the rich and
benevolent old uncle are rarely found
outside of story books.
The average man must start his for
tune with small change ana decvlop it
gradually. And TO do this he must
learn TO love systematic savings as a
child loves candy. This is a habit
easier 10 acquire than appears at first
sight The thrift amp is devised TO
foster the habit. The stamp is the
nest egg of competency.
The war savings stamp pays four
per cent interest annually from start
10 finish, and compounds the interest.
Compound interest is one of the most
profitable instruments any man ever
had working for him. The habit of
wasting ten cents day takes COM
pound interest out of the waster's
pocket But the habit of saving that
much puts compound interest into the
purse.
Ten cents q day for twenty years
amounts to more than one thousand
dollars, and that thousand dollars left
for another twenty years amounts to
twenty five hundred dollars If not
another penny than the interest ac-
cretions is added.
This is larger endowment than
ninety per cent Of Americans at the
age of sixty now have.

1t was Madame De Stael who said
she didn't believe in ghosts but was
afraid of them. Likewise we know
there are no modern people who can
forecast coming events with accuracy
AStroloEy belongs to mountebanks,

HOW KNOX SEES 1T.

Senator Knox, formerly secretary
/ of state, has made a notable speech
in the senate-which has equal power
| with the president when it comes to
making treaties with foreign nations
i'm which he suggests that the first
thing to be done is to end the war
with Germany and Austria. After that
will be the proper time for taking up
and settling such matters as a league
of nations, freedom of the seas. and
the like.
The question of peace, as Senator
Knox points out, is naturally divisib'e
1t In fold. Two sorts of issues are
to be settled: The issues between the
allies and the central powers, which
demand quick settlements; and the
questions which must be settled be-
tween the allies themselves as to a
league of nations and a revision of the
laws of the seas, issues in which the
neutrals and all the world are directly
interested.
II the peace conference should de-
eide to settle all these issues in one
treaty it might be found that the sem
ate would want to ratify some of the
provisions, while rejecting others, II
the senate were faced with the neces-
sity of ratifyng all or rejecting all, it
might reject all.
If the senate rejected the whole
treaty because part Of it was ob1ec-
tionable, it would be delaying a settle
ment of the status of all central
| Europe, a settlement that ought to be-
| come effective at the earliest moment,
If it ratified the whole treaty, despite
the Objectionable part, 1t might COM
nit the United states to Obligations
fraught with danger to national exist
ence itself.
| Perhaps n dilemma OF this sort is
| highly improbable. But it must be adj
/ mitted that it is possible. The diVls-
| ion of the peace question into two
parts would ohviate any such danger,
This is why Senator Knox has intro
| dnced a resolution in the senate for
the expression by that body Of the be-
/ lief that consideration of the question
of league of nations and its related
question of freedom of the seas
should be postponed until after the
settlement of the immediate issues OF
| the war.
What President Wilson purposes Is
not known. because he has confided
/ nothing definite to the public.

EDWARD,S VIEW OF WILHELM.

The late King Edward VII Of Eng
land, according to the London Globe,
thus sized up Kaiser wilhelm:
THAT fellow is foolish anough ant
insane enough to fight for the mast
cry of Europe, and to involve Eng
land among his enemies in the con-
flict, because he suffers from the de-
fusion that he understands the Eng
fish people better than anyone else
in Eurone, He is ohsessed with tn
notion that, should he lose, he will
always find apologists and support
ers among the leaders of English OPP
inion."
