How Great Wars Were Ended

beginning of 134S the Mexcans were
everywhere routed
In almost every battle throughout
the war they had outnumbered, their
United States opponents, and in every
real battle the Americans had beaten
them.
A peace treaty between the Mexi-
cans and their triumphant conquerors
was signed at Guadalupe Hidalgo on
February 2. 1913. The terms of the
treaty, in brief, were Mexico cons
coded that the Rio Grande. and not
the Nueces, was the legal boundary
line between the United States and
the Mexican republic. Mexico also
turned over to the United States the
captured provinces of California and
New Mexico.
In return for all this the United
States agreed to pay to the Mexican
government the sum of $4,000, 900
and to make itself responsible for all
debts (not exceeding $3.50, 10000 owed
by Mexico to American citizens
Thus ended war which gave us
the great state of California. as we'll

less than we afterward paid for the
Philippines islands alone.
Thus, too, ended the first conflict
of any Importance which our country
had waged since the War of 1912.
Many of the Mexican wars best
fighters were to be ranged side by
side, opposing one another, thirteen
years later. in the civil war Among
those were Grant, Lee. Hooker and
jefferson Davis.

But there remains one bigger mis-
take Jones can make. namely, if he
should seek and get the democratic

Then the voters would give him a

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS--
WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS
BY JOSIAH f. REED.

The Articles of Confederation,
adopted h the Continental Congress
in I'LL, arranged first of all for a
Legislative body. Each state was al
lowed to send from two to seven del
egates, but since each state had to
nav its own delegates and the voting
was done by states. each state having
one vote, there was no great OBJECT
in sending large delegation, Inn
portant legislation required nine votes
out of the thirteen. Taxes were ar
portioned among the states accord
ing to land values. and their collec-
ton was left to the states. The fed
eral army was composed of units fur-
nisffed by the different states and
equipped by them IN a soldier-hhe
manner" The contingent from each
state was to be based on population,
not counting negroes. The treaty
making powers of the states We're
abridged but not abolished. The sew
eraI states were forbidden to declare
war except with the consent of con-
gress, or IN emergency as from a
sudden attack of Indians They were
permitted to fix their own import
and export duties as long as they did
not interfere with any stipulations IN
treaties.
In case of dispute between the
states, elaborate machinery was pro-
vided for the choosing of court to
settle the matter This court was
only temporary and it's purpose was
conciliation and arbitration rather
than justice.
AS an executive department. there
was a sort of standing executive com
| mittee chosen by the legislature from
its own number,
This was the general scheme and il

JONES MAKES ANOTHER
BLUNDER.


Under the heading. What Happen
ed TO Jones'" the Santa Fe New Mex
lean calls editorial attention to poor
showing made by Senator Jones Of
New Mexico in his recent effort to
reply to the Morning Journals charges
that the south, through its Kitchins
and Simmonses. had so framed the
revenue laws that they cinched the
north and the west and allowed the
south to escape its just burdens of
war taxation.
The New Mexicans editorial APP
pears elsewhere in this page
The effort by Senator Jones to
take the Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal to task for alleged misstatements,
ended, when under question by re-
publican senator's, in his admission of
the truth of every statement the
Journal made.
Senator Jones has made a series
of grave mistakes rccently--in addi-
ton to his continuing mistake of do
ing nothing and attempting nothing
in the specific interest of the state
that sent him to the senate of the
United States.
The first big mistake by the sena-
tor was his attempt to make the
state food administration a recruiting
agency for the democratic party. That
failed dismally,
The next big mistake was when he
attacked Senator Falls amendment TO
the new soldiers homestead bill The
amendment was attacked by Jones,
not because he really opposed it, but
because he did not want Senator Fall
to get credit for it, The result was
that, after Fall had made an exceed
ingly clear speech. the amendment
was passed unanimously by the sem
ate, as it was passed unanimously by
the house.
The next big mistake Senator Jones
made was when he sent his telegram
to the democratic state convention,
urging that democrats should not re-
gard politics as adjourned, and in the
same message he said it would bring
JOY to Berlin if the republicans should
have majority in the next congress.
Just few days after 1t became
known in Berlin that the republicans
would have majorities in both houses
of congress. Berlin Internationally
SURRENDERED. Also the telegram con-
tributed, as did the appeal of the
president, to the success of the re-
publicans in New Mexico.
The next mistake of Senator Jones
was in his efforts to cause the court
martial of a New Mexico soldier who
had distinguished himself in France,
fighting the Huns with so much BRAY
cry and success that he was promoted
from buck private to commissioned
officer. The offense of the soldier
was that he had criticized the parti-

that continental currency was issued
with no proper security behind it.
Soon this currency began to depre-
ciate in value. AS for soldiers. Mas
sachusetts furnished twice as many
as any other state and twenty five
times as many as Georgia, where the
war was felt comparatively little.
Compare this scheme with the ar
engagements of the recent war. in
which each state was required to con-
tribute men and money according to
it's ability.
After peace was concluded with
England other defects of the fedora
ton came into prominence. Import
duties varied in different states. This
caused jealousy and friction.
But though there were constant
quarrels between the states, the ma
chinery for the court was too eab-
crate and cumbersome to settle them
properly. The court when called into
existence could settle only one par
ticular dispute. and court called the
next year to settle a similar dispute
might render a contrary decision.
The executive department, if such it
could be called. hampered at every
point by lack of funds and with no
means of enforcing obedience. was
foredoomed to failure. Their efforts
to rouse, the states to a sense Of re-
sponsibility proved abortive. The
system was wrong. The states had
not delegated enough powers to the
federation to give the federation a
reasonable chance to success.
We are about to form a League of
Nations. Its success or failure will
depend upon the wisdom of the con-
stoitution or covenant which the ma
lions adopt Our national experience
and it is the experience of other
derations-suggests
Cd The executive and judicial de-
partments ought not to be dependent
upon the legislative department, but
ought to be co-powerful with it,
CD The duties and powers of all
three departments ought to be made
definite.
CD There ought to be some pen
atty attached to failure of nation to
discharge its obligations to the league
The machinery providing money for
the league must be sufficient,

OUR WAR WITH MENICO.

OUR WAR WITH MENICO.
Bands of United States pioneers
had wandered to Mexico, and there
had settled in rich section of that
country-in "a region known as Texas
AT once these Americans had clashed
with their Mexican neighbors. ! and
then with the Mexican government,
and years of border warfare followed.
At last, under the leadership of
Sam Houston, the Yankees conquered
Texas from the MeXicans and turned
it into a republic with Houston as
its president.
Houston turned it over to the Uni
ted States, and Texas thus became
part of the union. (TeXas. by the
way has probably been hnder more
flags than any other state First, un-
der the French flag; then the Span
ish, then under the Mexican, then
under its own, then under Old Glory,
and for four years under the flag of
the confederacy)
The Mexican government bitterly
resented the anneXing of Texas by our
country. When all other protests
failed the MeXitan5 declared the
boundary between Texas and Mexico
was the Nueces river We claimed
the boundary was at the Rio Grande.
This boundary dispute brought on
war between the two countries in
1876
The war was so unpopular here
that President Polk sought to shift
the unpopularity by sending to the
border a mere handful of men under
General Zachary Taylor. who was a
political opponent of the administra-
ton.
Taylor was sent to hold the strip
of land between the Nueces and the
Rio Grande. But it, was not Taylor s
way to do things by halves. He drove
straight ahead, thrashing Mexican
forces Of double his own army's size
and making himself master of nearly
all Northern Mexico,
His exploits made him such popu-
lar hero that Polk found he himself
had defeated his own ends in sending
political foe to reap such glory.
So he removed Taylor from com
mand and sent General Scott, with a
much larger army, to complete what
Taylor had begun.

ince of California--which he did il

Worth Nearly Three Millions Cash


1t will be wise for the people of
New Mexico to know something for
what the New Mexico College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts is doing
in the way of assisting in the produc-
ton of foodstuffs.
Under the direction of the college
the boys and girls produced for this
year approximately eight hundred
thousand dollars in foodstuffs of va
rious kind. This will cause the aver
age citizen of the state to sit up, rub
his eyes and wonder just what has
been going on in New Mexico.
But let him consider another fact:
Traceable to the work of the extern
sion service of the agricultural college
and not including the work of the
boys and girls clubs, increased crops,
due to control Of pests and through
conservation of livestock, the state
was able to make a showing of twelve
hundred thousand dollars more than
would have been possible without the
colleges assistance.
To these figures must be added the
war on predatory animals and ro-
dents by which an additional three
quarters of million dollars was
saved to the state. One million, three
hundred and eighty thousand acres
of land were cleared of prairie dogs.
This vast amount Of land was so in
tested with the rodents that it was
nearly worthless for grazing pur-
poses.
Thus it will be seen that the direct
value of the agricultural college in
dollars and cents to the state was
nearly three million dollars.

But in this dream of the golden

New Mexico understand the value OF

The breeding of animals and plants
and grains tells the biggest story of
mans progress in food production,

these cows costs, counting investment
