cent the 10 year average. For Ida

will have the good effect of reduc;n.
the volume of laws.

MAKING JOBS

Too late" il too frequently re.
corded in the activities of the ad.
ninistration at Washington. Last
summer people were assured that
they need not be in a hurry about
buying coal, and in the winter they
suffered as q result Of their over
confidence. A few months ago we
were told that there was no labor
shorta9e-that the only trouble was
poor distribution. Now the Depart
nsnt Of Labor Is out with a formal
statement showing shortage in COM
mon labor, skilled labor, labor in
nunition shops and labor on farms.
Many months ago the Department of
Labor had warning from members
Of Congress that this condition was
impeding, but the soothing re-assur-
anee Of no scarcity was the only res
ponse. Now the only remedy sug.
sssted 10 that Congress make enor-
nous appropriations to employ
Of agents to 60 over the
eountry and recruit werkers. From
our already inadequate ranks of
workers we must take thousands to
put upon the government pay rolls
10 hunt others to take their places.

PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS

Adopted by the republican conven
ton Of Dona Ana county last week
We commend and endorse in tht
highest terms the fearlessness, integ.
rity, consistency and answering
Americanism of that great leader in
the Senate Of the United States, oil
America, Senator Albert B. Fall, OF
New Mexico, and refer with pardon
able pride to his patriotic activities
in supporting the administration in
all measures required for the conduct
Of the war. We pledge the unani-
nous support of the delegation. from
this county convention for his renom-
nation.
We commend the administration of
Governor w. f. Lindsey. who has in
the past two years, under difficult
circumstances, given us a fair, honest
and patriotic management of State
affairs.
We commend and endorse the eff
Gent body of State. District and
County Republican officials for their
faithful and excellent services dur
ing their terms of office.
We declare that it is the supreme

the insolent attempt of German au-
tocracy to substitute a military die
tatorship for self government and
the right of independent thought.
The world must obe, made safe for
democracy by the defeat of German
m%ilitarism. We want no peace with
out victory and demand a victory
SO complete and conclusive that
military ambition will be forever sill
enced and a peace secured that will
make an end of war for all time.
The world must be kept safe
by the cooperation of the
major force of mankind, and
that force should be organic

keep the peace of the world. And we
favor the entrance of the United
State, after the war, into such a
League of Nations as may be ade-
quate to safeguard the peace that
be o by the joint military,
forces of the Allied Nations; and
as the n great issue before the
today is the complete and alb

of Dona Ana County to the policy
Of WINNING THE WAR NOW.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Another democratic state conven-
ton has passed into history.
Already what little enthusiasm was
kindled by contact and oratory in
the breasts of loyal members of the
party over men and issues has cool
ed.
The principals and issues presented
IN the keynote speech and platform.
one a resume of he other, were so
clouded by a multiplicity of words
of explanation that not one delegate
in fifty carried home with him any
DEFINITE idea OF what his party real
ly does proclaim or propose.
In fact it proposes very little ex-
cept that democrats be continued in
office--that seems to be the whole
proposition. Its platform does not
even 20 10 the pains of making pro-
misses. 1t starts no place and ends
nowhere.
The only definite work of the con-
%vention was its ticket. That is now
before the electors of the state.
II is not a ticket that arouses any
enthusiasm. The delegates regret
that they could not do better. Few
OF the nominees were really candi
dates, and those who were not are
having a hard time to bring them
selves around TO the point of asking
people to place them in positions
they never sought and do not care
to fill
Democrats generally will he salts
fled with the ticket-nomina1ly salts
fied-there is nothing about il to
especially enthuse them-no one on
il to rouse their opposition-except
that a few f%actionists in Colfax. So
zorro, and some of the Pecos Valley
counties are not in a frame of mind
to be satisfied with what the men.
who double-crossed them at home,
did in the convention.
From the outsiders view point the
ticket is weak.
Those who have held office before
have done nothing of special or ex-
traordinary importance-they have
filled the job and drawn the pay.
some of them have made plumbers
very ordinary blunders-that men of
ability would have avoided,
Those who have not held office
before have not accomplished any
thing in any other line to distin-
guish them-they probably would not
in the public service.
Those on the ticket who inherited
money from their parents still have
it-those who did not, do not have
il. The same applies to their other
accomplishments. 1t is a status-quo
ticket.
But the republicans are well pleased
with the ticket-they are p~ardonahly
jubilant over it and its status-quo
condition.

The War Savings society is the
most active and effective influence
yet found for encouraging persistent,
systematic buying of War Savings
Stamps, according to Hallett Ray
nolds, State director of War Savings
for New Mexico. As a result of an
active personal campaign carried out
by MI. Reynolds and his assistant,
G. J. Wolf. societies have now been
organized in nearly every county in
the state. Ration alone has "a; Al
buuerque has 10, and there are two
or more in Clayton, Taos, Gallup,
Clovis, Carlsbad, Artesia, and many
other towns. 1t is expected that the
number of societies in the state will
reach 1000 by October LIST. Mem
bership in the War Savings society
involves no obligation of membership
dues, but simply a pledge to buy War
Savings Stamps regularly according
to the means of the individual.

We are informed than Manuel M
Bueno from lower Mosduero. who
we understand was called by the
draft board at Clayton for service
and who has been trying to evade
being drafted has been killed at Can
itan while resisting arrest. II such is
the case we think it will be a good
example to others who are trying the
same thing in violation of the draft
law. and in violation of the sacred
duties to their country. An evader Of
the draft law is nothing mor than a
traitor to his country, and should be
as such.-Mosquero Sun.
