GLORY FOR EVERY STATE.

The annals Of the civil war recount
the deeds Of the state regiments. Men
of this state made brilliant and his
toric charge, those of another held at
vital point those of still another
state captured a strongly held posi-
ton or stayed an enemy rush.
Before the war began in Europe, the
civil war had become 50 much history
that a northern man could thrill at the
recital Of the marches and battles of
the men under "Stonewall' Jackson,
could admire tho genius of Lee and
the heroism OF the men he command
ed, could be proud of the splendid
dash and tremendous resistance of the
south.
But in the war just ended, no state
is missing from the great roll that be-
gins with Alabama and ends with
Wyoming. The stars of all the states
were aeleam on every battlefield
where Old Glory was unfurled.
Men Of Massachusetts. shoulder to
shoulder with the men of South Caro-
lima, drove the Huns. Sons of the land
Of cotton, sons of puritan New Eng
land. sons Of the COW country and the
corn land marched and fought to-
gether.
The casualty lists are sorrow and
a glory. Those dead on the field of
honor those wounded in great cause,
come from cities, towns, countrysides
in forty-eight great commemorative,
every one American, every one patri-
otto, every one of the sisterhood of this
republic,
Our soldiers They are Green Noun
tain boys and cowpunchers from New
Mexico, miners from pennsylvania
planters from South Carolina, wheat
growers from the Dekotas, ranchers
from Texas and lumberiacks from Ore
pon. and SO on through the lists OF
every profession and industry of the
whole land from Maine to California
and from washington state TO Florida.
The war has done more than would
have been possible in many years OF
peace TO take us a nation, as the presi-
dent has observed The army, with
its millions Of our youth, the flower OF
the land, typifies the nation, and when
that army dissolves into citizens again.
It will direct the nations future.
To have fought in this war will
bring honors in the future, as well
as now The next generation will show
preference for few men who did not
serve when the great call came.

ond probably no great number Of the
returning soldiers win care to go
pioneering.
Nearly all the utilized arabic land
in America is now in private hands.
It Is estimated that about seventeen
million acres of reclaimable arid land
now remains; that there are about
two hundred million acres of rough
cut-over lands and about fifty thou
sand acres of drainable swamp lands,
practically all of which have been on
the market in their present ragged
condition for years.
This land did not attract the young
men before they went to war. and
nothing has been done to make it
moro attractive since they have been
in the war. If a deed to q quarter
section of this land were given to
every returning soldier, few of them
would be utilized for the building of
homes. If the soldier could do so, he
would sell his quarter. and if he was
not allowed to sell to Spectators at
the spectators prices, he would
abandon it before he had expended
much effort for its improvement.
The government has its greatest
opportunity in the utilization of the
twenty-one months it has after peace
is declared formally for building
branch-line railroads to open up new
lands and other natural resources.
That would mean the building of
towns and cities. the employment of
labor in construction work and the
opening of new opportunities for
business generally.
But the government not only con-
templates nothing of the sort. but
actually frowns on the efforts of rail-
road companies to promote the open
ing up of new opportunities. The
customary terms of travel to settlers
are refused, advertising literature is
prohibited and even education is dis
couraged. as has been shown by the
recent refusal of the director general
to grant the customary reduced rates
to teachers for the New Mexico Edu-
cational association.
The symptoms we have of govern
ment operation of roads do not put
us in sympathy with Mr.. McAdoo's
suggestion that the government have
an opportunity to experiment with
operation of railroads for the next
We years.

In the state of Washington, the leg

Ernest Lester that the national amend
ment will receive the favorable vote
of every member of both the senate
and the house.
In Colorado, Governor Julius c.

legislature, which meets in January,
will promptly ratify.
In Oklahoma, Governor I. l.. VIII

Both political parties have declared
for it, and there is no organized oppo-

Your Christmas Gifts This Year
BY SOPHIE IRENE LoEB.

Copyright 1918, by the Press Piblishil
Every year the picture of the worn
an article on the subject of early
Christmas buying.
Every years the picture of the worn
out clerks is brought forward and
people are urged to start early and
avoid the last minute rush.
Every Year everybody makes the
same resolution to begin at once and
secure all the presents ahead of time.
But alas! and another alas! when the
last days arrive the stores are crowd
ed to the sitting point and there is
the same old thing over again.
Not TO the same degree. of course,
because the plea does Sink in with
some procrastinating individuals, but
the same overburdened clerks are al
ways there at the counters in the final
mad scramble.
Therefore I am going to take an
other angle of the matter in the hope
of alleviating at least one department
which in the end has to do with all.
1t is the mail
Why not make a special effort to
buy at once the things that you will
send away? If everybody did this an
enormous burden would be lifted.
When you stop to think of the
weight under which the letter carriers
and postal clerks have been working
you will see that of all burdens to be
lifted theirs calls for earliest consid-
Grafton.
Two million men have gone abroad
as soldiers, to say nothing of civilians
employed in Red Cross and other
welfare work. Each one of these two
million has relatives and friends who
naturally have been sending letters,
post cards and packages to them and
in return receiving many communi-
cations.

HUMOROUS WRITER NEEDED.

A London publisher declared the
other day that there was at present q
great lack of humorous writer's. that
fortune awaited any new writer who
could turn out humor that would
catch the public fancy. Well, if
humorists are scarce in publishers
announcements, there is plenty of
writing about humor in the high class
journals An excellent article APP
peared the other day in the Saturday
Review, recounting the refining of
humor since the time of Homer and
the gods. 1t closes with Boswell's
story-in the dedication to Reynolds

GENERAL PERSHING'S HUMAN
OIrAI IrX
(FrOm Major Frederick Palmer's new
book. america in France'D

(From Major Frederick Palmer's new
book, America in France")
The thing which held their loyalty
with stronger bonds than those of his
interest in men was that spontaneous
human quality lighted by the smile of
interest in every man and breaking
out in a laughing sally when some
thing caught his sense Of humor. The
French spoke of the "Pcrshing mem
tality," which meant coming direct to
the essentials of the subject in hand.
He took an interest III III the chap
lains and the welfare workers. ana
in everything that pertained 70 the
care of the soldiers. Subordinatcs
each saw only 3ue professional side
of him; and, of course, the supreme
side was the soldier preparing His
army for action and directing mt in
action. Those who wondered about
his reason for some decision suddenly
graSped it when they understood that
he was looking out across the coun-
try, away from the red tape OF organ
zation, which he had cut remorSe-
lessly, past the headquMters of COM
manders high and low to the men who
were fighting, whose courage morale
and skill were the vital human and
military element.
A great army formed of recruits
was under his personal influence. Be
fore soldiers had been long in France
they developed in their bearing and
in the straight. level way that they
met your glance that spirit which
says. II fight to win. l shall win!"
and with that spirit q smile, a philo-
sophie acceptance of what comes their
way, an outstanding pride-a new sort
of Americanism; that of the determi-
nation and enterprise of the individ-
ualism of the youth who means to get
on in the world and of the aimless-
ness of the youth who stands at the
street corners with his hands in his
pockets, amalgamated by discipline
and example into common purpose
and character which would bring
nation into II new era.
Had our general done no more than
train the army and built an organiza-
ton for its direction, his place in his
tory would he quite secure without
regard to how he was to use the
weapon which he had forged and tenn
pered and sharpened.

eient history had to rely on upon COM
paratively few manuscripts, until the
study of inscriptions on Roman monu-
mentsand buildings supplied new evil
dences. The German, Mommsen,
availed himself Of that new evidence
But within the past twenty-five
years-largely within the past ten
years-by discoveries from Egyptian
hieroglyphics and Babylonian cunel-
forms, by excavation work at Mycene
in Crete upon the Nile, upon the Ii
girls and Euphrates, human history has
been traced back many thousands of
years.
DIR. Breasted, in condensed form,
gives us the conclusions of all the spe-
cialists who have been working in
these ancient fields, and what was re-
Gently prehistoric now lives before us,
reconstructed with considerable ac-
curacy
This little work, illustrated as would
have been impossible only few years
ago, shows the life giving art. The
pottery and art craft of a people are
made important because they disclose
the culture of those who used them.
The too's and metals reveal what the
employers of them were and how they
lived. The conditions of the human
race are traced from the times of the
cave man to those of the Romans in
their decline,
DR.. Breasted does not write of these
ancient peoples as a narrator of wars
and kings, but with the viewpoint of
the twentieth century sociologist. All
the prehistoric civilizations are made
very human under his hand.
This history is not only for the
schools. 1t is an invaluable asset to,
every home where an atmosphere of
culture and knowledge is appreciated.
1t is the recital of the evolution of man
from savagery to society, Of his pas
sage through the stone, the bronze
and the iron ages, of the birth and de-
velpment of art and mechanism, of.
progress of the human intellect from
primitive chatter to The achievement
of language of picture writing, of the
phonetic alphabet TO science and
philosophy--the greatest feat of the
human intellect.

g Co. (The New York Evening World)
Have you ever stopped to calculate
how many million pieces Of mail have
in the past year been handled by this
group of Uncle Sans employees?
Have you ever considered the enor-
nifty of their task in this one item
alone, to say nothing of everyday
mail? Well, then, if not, this is a
good time to reflect upon fright
after Thanksgiving, when there is yet
time to help save the situation. And
there is but ten days.
While there are thousands over
there still doing their bit to help until
everybody is back home, why not q
little of that spirit in the interest of
those who, although they stayed at
home, played their part in winning
the war.
Thousands of these helpers have en-
dured the strain of real soldiers at
the front without a mumur and sim
ply accepted the extra burdens as
their share to help win the war Il
Why not make this Christmas the
one big one for them by doing your
part in alleviating their trials? Why
not show your individual apprecia-
ton by individual effort? Never mind
what your neighbor does.
Get through with your holiday
shopping, at least the gifts to be
mailed, and have the satisfaction of
saying. to yourself that your con-
science is clear and that all along
the line from clerk to mail carrier
you have saved suffering. For that's
what it really comes to.
Suppose your friend does receive
his gift few days before December
25, he will appreciate your present
all the more if you tell him why you
sent it early.

WHAT MAKES A SONG.

y photoplay magazine says that a
subscriber complained because the ed

about coming song hits. The editor
answers that any man or woman who
coul do this could collect from $50, 200
to $10O,000,a year from publishers by
keeping them supplied with this adj

editor, can boom q song into popular

publishers spent $4,000 in ingenious
advertising. but it wouldn't take.

much to be thankful for in its seven and
half months stay at Camp Hancock,

to the boys in Colonel George c. Rick

Just so surely as they have made good
in the bayonet runs, the bombing classes
and the other specialties. so surely will
