PROTEST AGAINST PARDON

A movement is on foot at Santa
Fe, said to be promoted by the Red
Cross women, to obtain a pardon for
w. A, Gray. A remonstrance against
the pardon is in circulation at Noun
tainair, and quite likely there will
be others. AS far as can be judged
the preponderance of public senti-
ment in this county is against a
pardon. Gray is under a 75-year
sentence for the murder of his niece,
which occurred near Lucy about 8
years ago. He plead guilty to murder
in the second degree. The evidence
was circumstantial, and some
thought a conviction on first degree
murder could have been secured,
while others doubted it. The sec
ond-degree plea was accepted, but
the court imposed a very stiff sent
ence. The crime was a most brutal
and revolving one. Gray is said to
have been a model prisoner, and
through his work on Red Cross
knitting at the penitentiary has come
in contact with the Red Cross wom-
of Santa Fe and aroused their
sympathy.-Estancia News Herald.

of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the

That couldn't be done, and he did It'll
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you will
do that
At least no one ever has done it."
But he took off his coat and he took
off his hat
And the first thing we knew he'd
begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of
a grin,
Without any doubt or quiddit
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it

There are thousands who prophesy
failure,
There are thousands who point out

The dangers that await to assai. you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a

That can not be done, and you'll do it.

BEAN INSPECTORS-WHAT FOR :

The latest excuse and perhaps the
most novel one yet devised, by the
present administration to create more
federal jobs is revealed through an
unpretentious item in the Des Moines
Swastika which is as follows:
"Hal Franklin received notice of
his appointment as a U. S. bean
Inspector on Tuesday of this week.
This job will not take him away
from this place as it is only local"
After interviewing all the bean
rover and most of the bean eaters
in this section of the state we are
unable to find one who ever saw or
heard a pinto bean that was not
perfectly vigorous and at least l13
per cent efficient.
OF course it may be that Union
county growers have been imposed
upon by seed men and haven't been
raising the right kind Of beans, or
many of them being new corners to
the state perhaps they do not know
what to expect of a pinto bean, in
which case to have an Inspector may
or over in Torrance, or down along
the Rio Crande, no bean Inspector
would be able to add anything to the
pinto bean as il is-and il is equally
certain that nome Of them could re.
move any of its more noticeable
charaeteristics.
So the State Record convinced
that this new bean inspection job
lie = nor sineeure and will not

GREAT BRITAIN'S WAR RECORD

OF all people the English are least
concerned with praise for having
done what the conscience of the ma
ton understood to be the right thing
to do. They never seek applause,
nor are they swerved from a purse
deemed right, for lack of it, 1t is
a sterling quality, which has often
been mistaken for mere stubborn
ness. Among some other things we
have discovered during the war, one
is that the Huns have ~insidiously
and persistently, for years, sowed
seeds Of suspicion and hate OF the
English throughout the world, Be
cause Germany was jealous OF
England she hated her; and hating
her wanted all other countries to
hate England also. And SO around
the world went an arlny of German
spies whose mission was to spread
a propaganda OF hatred. Germany
ungrateful, had no cause for this.
English ports the world over were
open freely to German ships to come
and 60 and trade at will. England
herself bought from Germany an
nually millions of dollars worth of
~German-madc goods IN excess of
what Germany bought from England.
Germans in England were as free
to work. travel, sell goods as any
Englishman, while the Englishman
in Germany WAS subject to constant
surveillance and in arriving at a
German city must first of all lille
"A lengthy report containing a per
sonal history, the nature Of his er-
rand there. and how many days he

As we all know, it was a question
OF honor and not necessity which

ception of a strong navy was entirely
%unprepared, and the world will never
cease to owe a debt of gratitude to

at awful cost OF life, the Hun line,
while an army, was gathered and
munition works were being built. But
for the English navy, the war would
have ended very differently. But for
English ships, also, only 80 per cent
of our troops could have reached
France. IT,.
OF all the great things OF the war,
none is greater than the magnifi-
cent loyalty of the English colonies
to the mother country. While they
might have remained aloof, without
a moments hesitation they unitedly
and heartily rallied to her aid. OF
their best of life and treasure they
sem from far-distant lands and
climes, freely, voluntarily, uncom-
plainingly. 1t was a grand spectacle;
a mighty tribute.
Because no press bureau was main
tanned to keep us constantly re-
minded, there are few of us who
as yet begin to realize our debt to
Great Britain in this war but time,
which adjusts all these things, will
write the story Of our debt, and with
that understanding will come a truer
sense of our obligation.-H. H. Wind

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to
men,
From heavens all-gracious King"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears
not
The love song which they bring:
Oh. hush the noise, we men Of strife,
And hear the angels singl
And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing!
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels singh "
For 10, tire days are h%ostening on,
By prophet bards f%oretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When Peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the
song
Which now the angels sing.

A THE

With very few exceptions school
boards have paid teachers the reg
ular salary as though the schools
had been in session during the re-
CEN epidemic of influenza.
With one exception, the attorney
generals of the states where the
question has been asked, have ruled
that the teachers must be paid. In
Nebraska, the school law specifical-
ly, and we think unjustly, provides
that teachers shall moi be paid dur
ing an epidemic.
A sense of common justice will
reveal to any school board member
that teachers should not be made
to suffer personally because of a
great common misfortune. Certain
ly the pay which teachers receive
will not permit of losses amounting
to ten per cent, or in some cases,
twenty per cent.-American School
