WOULD TEAR UP CONSTITUTION

England is all eady experiencing a
reaction against government owner-
ship and control. and even the gov
eminent investigators themselves are
urging a return to private control.
Agitators and socialist leaders IN
this country are surreptiously ad-
vocating socialism and government
control. They make their appeal to
the foreign-born and the radical ele-
ment of the country. If socialism
is the fine thing they claim it to be.
why do they not pursue this ideal
openly, and present it without ca
mouflage to the practical business
men and the COmmon-Sense laborerS
of the country?
Socialism and government control
are directly opposed to our previous
existing form of government. If the
advocators of socialism believe it to
be the better form, they should open
ly air. preach and advocate the adop-
ton OF this form of government
True progress never ONE by hid
den paths.
Our present form of political, bust
ness and social life may be full of
flaws. but it is the best there is
so Americans believe. We are all
willing and anxious to improve our
methods OF life; but to throw over
the present existing system for
thing new, untried and diametrical-
ly opposed to the ideas, the history,
and the theory upon which this coun-
try was founded-the real thinking
Americans are distinctly opposed to
such action. - Washington State
Weekly.

A LAND OF

Ii has been said hat New Mex
leo is the land of promise for the
home builder, offering every condition
Of soil, climate, water and uccess
full agriculture. 1t has been known
for many years as a cattleman's
paradise, and with tremendous min
eral resources.
There is probably not a state in
the Union hat is less known by
the north and East than New Mex
leo. There have been reasons for
this condition. In the first place,
being SO closely situated to the Mex.
lean border, many have had the i'm
preston that the state was peopled
with an illiterate class Of people and
those who did not believe in pro-
gress and development. This has
been an injustice that has bcen done
the state. The climate is without
equal in the world for the ~allevia-
ton of diseases of the throat and
lungs and at the same time adapted
to the maturing of almost every
crop grown in the temperate zone, a
soil that is rich, deep and enduring,
easy to work and highly productive.
BY showing a spirit of encourage
ment and cooperation toward indus
tries and the investor, in its legisla-
ton and taxation, the state of New
Mexico has an opportunity to become
one of the greatest commercial states
of the Union.

lHelp One Another

This little sentence should be writ
ten on every heart, stamped on every
memory. 1t should be the golden
rule practiced o only in every
household, but throughout the world.
By helping one another we not only
remove the thorns from the path
way and anxiety from the mind, out
we feel a sense of pleasure in our
hearts. knowing we are doing a duty
to a fellow creature.
A helping hand or an encouraging
word is no loss to us, yet it is a
benefit to others. Who has not felt
the power of a little sentence. Who
has % needed the encouragement
and aid of a kind friend2 How
soothing when perplexed with some
task that is both difficult and burden
some to feel a gentle hand on the
shoulder and to hear a kind voice
Whispering: do not be discourage
ed; | see your troubles; let me help
you" What strength is inspired,
hope created. What sweet graft
tude is felt, and the great difficulty
disolves as dew before the sunshine.
Yes, let us help one another by en-
deavoring to strengthen and encour-
age the weak and lifting the burden
of m from the weary and oppree
sed. that life may glide smoothly on
and the fount of bitterness yield
sweet waters; and HE. whose willing
hand is ever ready to aid us, will
reward our humble ~endeavors. and
every good deed will be as bread
upon the waters, to return after
many days" if not to us at least to
those we love.-Missouri Freema-
son.

A VERY PARTISAN LEAGUE

The Non-Partisan league is grow
ing in strength in the northwest and
is reaching down to Kansas. Its
leaders look forward TO winning
three or four states in the next con-
gr%essional elections. Our quarrel
with the Non-Partisan league is not
so much that it has been accused
of pacifism and specific pro-German-
ism or that its chief organizer, Mr.,
Townley, has made speeches which
sounded s%editious, but that it openly
arrays one class against another
class. lining up the farmer against
the mill owner and the banker and
the manufacturer. A cooperative eff
fort among the farmers is a splendid
thing, But the policy of the Non
Partisan league savors too much OF
the class war which in itself is war
against democracy. II the league
is to benefit the farmers it must
clear itself of this suspicion.-Mc-
Cures Magazine.

SOCIALISM AGAINST INDUSTRIES

The reformers, ~rallying around
Pinchot and other conservation
theorists. continue to block o%il-land
leasing bills. power bills, and pro-
gressive laws to develop natural re-
sources.
Practical horse-sense and good
business judgment wants American
initiative. enterprise and capital turn
ed loose to unlock the natural treas
ures of land and water to save the
nation.
Not less than 100000 barrels of
crude oil more than the United
States consumed last year must be
produced this year-a total of b5
million barrels, or approximately 20
per cent of the worlds output" says
Mark l.. Requa, director of the oil
division of the United States Fuel
Administrator.
Every new destroyer will add to
this amount every airplane will use
80 gallons of gasoline per hour every
tank. motor truck and ambulance
must have the products of petroleum
and you must help in making these
products available in ever-increasing
quantities for shipment to France"
Senator Berenger, of France. de-
clares that ION the battlefield. on
the sea or in the air, a drop of petrol
is equal to a drop of blood"
But Pinchot and the socialist press
use the national crisis to force their
pet theories Of federal ownership
and operation of these vast indus
observation-disclosures.

NEW MEXICO LIVE STOCK

While the production OF coal ana
minerals has greatly increased IN
New Mexico during the past decade
and farm products of all kinds are
increasing in quantity and value every
year, the raising of cattle and sheep
still stand out as the occuPations
which affect the prosperity OF the
largest number of our people.
The greater part of the state has
been, is now, and probably always
will be. devoted to the live stock
industries, and while that line of
endeavor has been allowed to shift
for itself in the past, and has thrived
without any particular assistance or
protection, the time is near when
This situation must be changed and
when, in order to meet the ever IN
creasinp demands Of competition and
Improvement, this great source OF
livelihood and prosperity u be
fostered and promoted by a more
extensive code of just, beneficial and
protective legislation.
The republicans have already re-.
coenized this changing situation and
have provided the means by which
this protection is to be provided by
recognizing these industries in the
placing of competent and able re-
personalities thereof IN their nation
al, state and legislative tickets in
this state.
Messrs. Fall and Hernandez can
both be depended upon to look out
for the interests of live stock grow
ers in the halls Of congress.
Benjamin F. Pankey, as the most
successful cattleman in the state, will
naturally be consulted by state SEN
ators. while he is presiding over that
BODY a. lieutenant governor, when
ever any matter relative to the cat
tie industry is being considered.
Nelson Field, familiar with New
Mexico and her live stock require
ments for more than a quarter OF a
century can be depended upon to
continue to give the purchasers and
l~essees of state ranges a just and
liberal opportunity to utilize the pas
ture lands at a rate and on terms
alike fair to the state and their
business.

do not give these matters due con-
alteration when they 60 to the polls

THE OLD ROAD OR THE NEW

Under the American system Of gov
eminent our people have enjoyed
freedom, prosperity and happiness
~equalled by the people of no other
nation in the worlds history.
Now a group of individuals, taking
advantage Of war conditions, are
urging upon this government adop-
ton of policies wholly foreign to
the American system as established
by its far-sighted founders.
They are taking the position that
many steps, taken as useful and ne
cessary war measures shall become
the fixed and permanent policies of
our country in time Of peace after
close of war.
The only result of the extension
our government ultimately more So
cialistic and autocratic, and less and
less democratic and representative of
the will of the people.
Which road shall we take-the old
or the new? Shall we stand for
the ideals of the founders who gave
us their splendid record of achieve
ment and happiness, or wander after
false gods of socialism and auto.
cracy?
To those who believe this govern
ment as founded under the constitu-
ton, is preferable to any Euro
pean concept, and who do not be-
lieve it should be changed fundament-
ally, p~aternalism is dangerous and to
be opposed.
The war has increased the res
possibility for the welfare of the
individual on the part of the govern
ment, and we can never return to
pre-war conditions, but this involves
adoption of no general Or radical
changes.
As helpful aids to winning the war,
for instance, giving the soldiers and
sailors and III ir dependents insur-
ance benefits largely at public cost
was a wise and equitable way to dis
tribute the financial burden.
In the same way it was wise for
the government to enter the field
of marine insurance, with the seas
infested by ruthless submarines, as
duced by war that could not be
measured.
These wholly justifiable and neces-
sary steps for strengthening the life
of the nation and protecting its de-
tenders and the merchant marine of
our country should not be made the
excuse for general state insurance.
The radical and ambitious advoc-
ates Of socialistic theories are now
using the same steps taken by the
government to urge similar assump-
ton of war risks for all persons
engaged directly and indirectly by
Uncle Sam.
An influential member of the SEN
ate proposes a large federal bureau
and a government fund of billions TO
carry risks on all insurable property
connected with agricultural produce
ton and all private munition plants.
Is not the extension of such poll
cies to different lines of private in
dustry, beyond the absolute necessi-
ties and conditions growing out of
the conduct of the war, dangerous
and s%ubversive to proper and desir-
able permanent government policies?

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The mission of America is about to
be accomplished.
American soldiers in France are at
this moment demonstrating to the
world the reason for America and
the stuff of which this Republic is
made.
Their complete success and the
consequent eternal establishment
everywhere in the world of the in
tegrity of America rights, interests
and honor and the right of men to
govern themselves. are all assured
with the proper performance of the
plainest duty of the citizenry at home.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is our
next objective.
There is no geography, political or
physical, in the patriotism of this
country Democrats and Republic
cans alike love their flag and are
ready to die for it. We continual
ly insist for all parties that the war
be kept out of partisan politics and
that partisanship be kept out of the
war.
just as in Congress the Republi-
cans led the fight that made possible
the passage of the great wal meas
ures, so now the Party membership
and organization has an immediate,
definite war task in the accomplish
ment Of which it can fully function.
| repeat, let there be no contest in
this country as to anything that
touches the war except that contest
who best can serve, who most can
give.
The success of the Fourth Liberty
Loan shall be the Republican party's
supreme motif of thought and ac-
ton until that objective is attained.
Wherever Republicans are togeth-
er, by wv or two thousand, it shall
the Republican party's every action
at all times has been and shall be
determined solely by how we can
contribute most to the wars sue
cess, so now our every thought and
action shall be determined entirely
by how we can make certain the
quick over-subscription of the Fourth
Liberty Loan.
This is a united country's message
to Germany.
The entire Republican organiza-
ton in every voting precinct in this
country shall be a fighting force in
this Liberty Loan drive.
This is the Republican organiza-
business.
This is the real business of every
man, woman and child in America.
Everything else is chores"

WOULD MOVE RAIL OFFICES

If any bureaus of the Government
are to be moved out Of the city of
Washington Congressman Frederick
H. CilIett of Massachusetts,, Repub-
lican leader of the House, thinks a
start should be made with the Rail-
road Administration. 1t is true that
Mr.. McAdoo is Secretary of the
Treasury and also Director General
of Railroads, and would probably
have to remain in Washington. But
he is not the active head of the rail-
road system. "He 10 the figure-head
and does the spectacular work." as
Mr.. Gillett puts it. The real labor
of the railroad administration is per-
formed by a horde of clerks who
could accomplish their work much
more efficiently If they were locat-
ed in some large city that is a rail
road center. Washington is far from
that, and there is no possible reason
why the congestion at the National
Capital should be aggravated by
needlessly imposing upon the city
hundreds of additional clerks.

NOT ENTHUSIASTIC

The democrats Of New Mexico seem
to be taking very little interest in
their state ticket, and the candidates
thereon, this year.
OF course the personnel 10 not
such as to arouse much enthusiasm,
and the issues they present carry
SO little that is appealing that the
attitude of the rank and file Is not
surprising.

office holders seems 10 be that there
will be q change in two years any.

DEMOCRATS SOCIALISTIC

During the consideration of the
Emergency Power Bill Congressman
Richard Wayne Parker of New Jersey
was active in presenting amendments
calculated to limit the application of
the act strictly to the war period.
Just before the bill was passed Mr..
Parker made a motion to recommit
with instructions to so amend the
as to limit the time of re-
t~ention of power plants by the Presi-
dent to one year after the war period.
As the war period" is defined in
the bill as continuing six months
after the conclusion of the war Mr..
Parker's amendment would have per-
mitted government operation for n
year and six months after peace is
declared. But even that did not suit
the Democrats, and the bill went
through the House with no time
specified when the plants should be
returned to their owners.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDE Ne
THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington

My dear MI. SECRETARY:
am pleased to know that despite the unusual burdens imposed
upon IL 7, ole by The war they have maintained their schools
and other agencies of education SO nearly at their normal eff
cheney. That this should be continued throughout the wa and
that, in so far is the draft law will permit, there should be no
falling off in attendance in elementary schools, high schools or
colleges is a matter of the very greatest importance, affecting
both III strength in war and our national welfare and efficiency
when the war is over. so long IS the war continues there will
he constant need OF very large numbers of men and women of the
highest and most thorough training for war service in many lines.
After the wal there will be urgent need not only for trained leader
ship in all lines Of industrial. commercial, social and civic life, but
for a very high average of intelligence and preparation on the part
of all the people. would therefore urge that the people continue
to give generous support to their schools of all grades and that the
schools adjust themselves as wisely a possible to the new con-
diions to the end that no boy or girl shall have less opportunity
for education because of the war and that the Nation may be
strengthened as it can only be through the right education Of all
its people
Cordially and sincerely yours.
