POLITICS TO THE REAR
(Clement Hinhtower)


The elimination of politics as much
as possible this year with the view
of conserving our energies and money
in our efforts to aid in winning the
war, seems to have taken a strong
hold upon thoughtful people all e
the country, Hon. H. o. Bursum
one of the leading republicans of the
state in a letter to the Evening
Herald of Albuquerque, suggests a
special session of the legislature for
the purpose of presenting to the
voters an amendment to the state
constitution legalizing the continual
ton in office of all the present
state, district and county officials
for a period of two more years anil
dispensing with the election for
those officers this year, There is not
time for this suggestion to be car
ried out before the date of the next
regular election, and besides election
for the adoption or rejection of the
amendment would be just as expen-
sive as an election for the state, dis
trict and county officers. Conditions
prevailing at this time are extraor-
binary and transitory. therefore
amendments to the state constitu-
ton intended to fit these conditions
are likely to rise up and plague us
when the political world regains its
equilibrium and conditions again be-
come normal. The object aimed at
in Mr.. Bursum's plea can be accom-
ri ,hed without the pondercus pre-
iimiraries mentioned by him, if the

POWER BEHIND THE NATION

In an address before the editorial
convention held in the east it was
shown that sixty per cent of tn
American people are served by the
country papers and smaller dailies.
The smaller newspapers constitute
the real driving force and police
power of sixty million Of the Ameri-
can people-more than half the peo-
pie of the United States read the
smaller newspapers.
The farmers, the men and women
who feed the nation, and a great
pars of the rest of the ,world,-the
thinking, influential Americans who
do not live in the big cities read the
country weekly and smaller dailies.
While the city dwellers in flats
and apartments spend their money
on canned goods and picture shows,
the readers of the country papers
are the great buying class from farm
tractors to jewelry.
The advertising value and the POLL
heal power of the smaller news
papers is not yet fully understood
by the great business interests and
craftsmanship of the nation, and
still less appreciated.
