CLARA BOEKE
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1918-08-09
KEEP OUT, YE SERFS!

Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo travel
ed from Hot Springs, Virginia, where
they are spending the summer, to
Lenox, Massachusetts, to attend the
wedding of one of Mr.. McAdoo's
subordinates in the Treasury Depart
ment. This was entirely proper and
was very complimentary to the sub
ordinate. The most interesting part
of the news, however, is that the trip,
both going and coming, vas made
in a private car-"in their private
car" is the language of the New
York Times in narrating the incident.
Now it so happens that among the
things which have fallen under the
McAdoo taboo since the Presidents
s~on-in-law began running the coun-
try's railroads is the private car.
Even people who owned such luxu-
RIGS and who had had them built
to order and who were willing to
pay for their haul were not permit
ted to use them. The argument has
been that private cars are generally
heavy and expensive to haul, that
the hauling of them uses up too
much fuel of which, as everyone
knows. there is a scarcity; and an
extension of this argument has led
also to increasing the cost Of travel
in sleeping and parlor cars even
for persons who are compelled to
travel long distances day and night.
Yet Mr.. and Mrs. McAdoo can go
from Virginia to Massachusetts to
attend a wedding and can ride in
their private car"

have started, and have widely adopt
ed, the organization of Letter Writ
ing clubs to send messages of cheer
to our soldiers boys in Europe. In
the letters SEN by the persons en-
gagged in this service, a few words
of encouragement printed on slips
in French and Italian are always
enclosed.
Library Cooperation
CLOSE cooperation with the libra
ries of the country has been obtain
ed by the committee, in searching out
elusive German propaganda. This
work is being handled through the
2Sl branches of the National Securi-
ty league in the various states, all
of which are provided with our
printed instructions concerning Ii
brary service, work in the elementary
schools, the organization of Letter
Writing Clubs etc.
Every mail brings letters to my
desk from teachers in the remotest
parts of our possessions. During the
last six months, l have been actually
in communication with tens of thou-
sands of teachers in every state n
the union, Porto Rico, Cuba, the Phil
ippines, Panama Canal zone, ALASKA

PAYl PAY! PAY!

a.. B. ldsn in Kansas City Starr
We speak of the dead in hushed
low tones,
And honor them where they lie,
But what OF the men with shattered
bones,
OF the brave who cannot die,
Under the smoke-black sky at night,
with scarcely breath to pray.
Men of your kind who fought your
fight?
Then pay and pay and pay!
And who shall send to the brink of
hell,
Where the wounded gasp and die,
The rose-red banner, waving, tell,
Say who, but you and l?
And who shall hurry the ambulance
down,
Through the dawn of the blood red
day,
But you, my friend and I? Go on
And pay and pay and pay
Then give, if needs, Of your last red
cent,
Aye. out of your meanest mite
And rouse you out of your sweet
content,
And hear we the groans tonight;
For the half dead lie in the black
shell cars
With scarcely breath to pray,
And breathe their prayers to the
mute, mute stars
Then pay till it hurts, oh, pay.

Five counties in the Pecos Valley
have arranged for Inspirational ms
titutes during the last week in August

ers who will do the work on the
circuit on the Ch~autauqua plan, each
speaker taking his turn one day II
each institute. There will also be
five state speakers who will appear
on the program Of each of the five
institutes and a number Of loca.
topics of educational Importance will
be discussed by local talent. Excel
lent programs of music have been
prepared and there will be evening
sessions as we'll as morning and
afternoon. A similar institute viii
be conducted in Otero county the
same week and the first week in

O WAIT TOO LONG

The State Central Committees of
both parties should wake up to the
fact hat the new Australian Bal
lot system, now in effect in this
state, presents several practical diff
ficulties which will require more
time than heretofore in preparing for
the election.
The booths to be provided; the
completely of the ballot, which can
not be printed with anything like
the rapidity at which the old style
tickets were turned out; the neces.
sity for study Of the law and ballot
by election officials and voters-all
make il incumbent to allow more
time between conventions, especially
county conventions, and election
day.

WHAT MORE CAN DO?

II is patriotic to buy Liberty Bonds
War Savings Stamps, contribute to
the Red Cross and Y NJ. c. A., II
conserve food stuff and assist If
saving wheat and meat for the allies
and our boys,
1t is patriotic to raise war-gardens
pigs and chickens, or large crops
flocks and bcards where possible.
It is patriotic to live simply, fly
the flag at all times and participate
in public demonstrations.
These are the conventional forms
OF patriotism that show ~outwardly
that we are for our government.
That there are personal ways OF
expressing ones patriotism that every
individual must work ont for him
self. These are o so much a direct
service to Uncle sam as the helping
of one another.
For instance: A man with land
had no team and another man loan
ed him the team for the season
that the land might not lie idle.
That was patriotism stripped Of
glamor and glory.
The bank that renews a note in
stead of pressing for pay when the
payment would cripple the workers
production, is truly patriotic.
The store that extends its credit
to the limit, assisting workers in eve
cry department OF labor, is patrio-
tic.
Personal service to one another
increasing the power of every one
to his uttermost capacity is patrio-
tic. A consideration for the welfare
of every one, is not only patriotic
but essential.
He who cripples the power of a
producer is a yellow dog no matter
if he is within the law or not. The
man who would foreclose a farmers
mortgage for interest due, when the
his country's sake, is not a patriot.
The creditor who in these unsettled
times would sieze a mans cattle,
his work horses, his implements, etc,
and sell off his land rather than give
him a chance to make good is not
only unpatriotic, but he is a yellow
dog.
When a man pushes another to
the wall, merely because he has the
legal right he is weakening the war
cause.
No amount of Liberty Bonds
purchased would make up for shear
ing a man of his individual strength
to do his part in this great conflict.
Misfortunes, hard times and loss
come to communities and individ-
uals.
There is no more vital way to
prove ones patriotism than to help

merely supplying the needy

opportunity to be self-supporting,
SO patriotism is not merely giving to
Sam of ones means, but in
also a giving to every one a chance
10 do his bit.
To push for a debt in order to
Duy War Stamps or Bonds is merely
Peter to pay Paul. Nay, it
S worse-it is Gripping Peter to
,trengthen Paul.
But now as never before, the good
If one is the good Of the country.
Together we stand, divided we fall.
