THE SENSE OF pI-MoR.


An American journalist has beer
analyzing English humor. And he
tells his countrymen that by some
"strang fatality they never mention
ed it unless it happened to annoy
them. Nothing English had the same
mower for anovance. He quotes George
Eliot: "A difference in the sense of
humor is a great strain upon the af-
fections." And the lack Of that sense
in one party to marriage "would go
some way towards its dissolution,
says Stevenson in "Virginitus Pueris-
que an essay so discerning that there
ought to be a fine for not reading 1t
as it's author in another essay said OF
Haylith's ''On Going Journey" Tne
sense of hsmor is a divine gift but
humor itself has many sides and not
Il few qualifications. 1t is often sub
RE bond between those who, lacking
it, would drift farther and far
Their apart, be it in marriage or in
friendship. Stevenson goes to the
point when ne says that humor must
be shared You can forgive one who
will not or cannot follow you through
an intellectual discourse, but-''to find
your wife laughing when you had tears
in your eyes, or staring when you were
in fit of laughter Separation looms
in the near distance.

institutions merged with the Uniyer.

Just for the sake of keeping the rec
ord straight, the Journal wishes to say
that Albuquerque has no thought OF
attempting to consolidate the educa.
tional institutions at this point. Fur
thermore, Albuquerque would not al

even at the poin! Of the bayonet. state
capitals are political centers, but not
good for business, and it is in a bust
ness way that this city seeks to win.
AS for the educational institutions
it would have been better had the
School of Mines, the College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts and the
University been conferred in one insti-
tuition. The normal schools could not
be better located than they are, and
no one would have the Military Insti-
tute from Roswell if he could

would do the work without having

But let it be said here that no at
tempt so far as any one in Albuquer-
que knows or believes, will be made
to move the Agricultural college
from its present location. We have
no idea that any such move will be
be made regarding the School OF
Mines, though the attendance of that
school has nevV justified its exist
ence as a separate institution.
1t is said that treveling expenses

and Of overhead expenses would save
about one hundred thousand dollars a
year, even now, il the three institu-
tons were consolidated.
But what the politicians did years
ago cannot be undone now. 1t would
create too much turmoil in the state.
Furthermore, the Journal would sug-
gest to the Citizen that, while Major
Llewellyn may be elected speaker,
that sort of campaign waged in his
behalf will not contribute anything of
value in that direction.

THAT zy,,MERMANN LETTER

Everyone will remember the excite
ment in this country produced by the
publication of the Zimmerman letter
which was an effort to induce Mexico
to make war on this country, promis-
ing German aid and the annexation of
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico to the
Mexican republic as an inducement.
Some recent correspondence of The
Associated Press gives the inner his
tory OF that matter. 1t appears that
one Chemitz who was an authority on
Latin affairs proposed it, but at first
it was rejected. The account says:
Or. Zimmerman kept the matter
in mind Presently Chemitz came and
told him in the next few days an espe-
cially reliable messenger would start
for Mexico, to which the message
could safely be intrusted, and that it
was a matter Of now or never"
1t turned out that this especially
reliable messenger was one of Secre-
tary Lansngs secret service employee.

scribed as dime novel;"
Before the end of Taft's term of Of
| flee, he and Roosevelt had become
both politically and personally antag-
cnstic The campaign of 1912 was
one of the most spectacular in Amer
lean history, but the Bull Moses, "
with their platform of social Justice
did not succeed in sweeping the coun-
try. Much that Colonel Roosevelt then
advocated now has a permanent place
in American policies, but the country
would have none of his declaration in
favor of referenduming supreme court
decisions involving questions of consti-
tutional law.
Eut. let it be said here that, instead
of destroying the republican party,
Roosevelt saved it. He overthrow the
ultra conservatism which controlled
the party under the Taft administra
ton got a large contingent of liberal
democrats with him, and also held
hundreds of thousands of voters who
otherwise would have left the repub-
lican party. When he returned to
the G, O. p. most of the Bull Moos-
ers went with him.
When the great war came on he
soon pierced the designs of Germany,
seeing clearly what it took the admin
istration two years to see. He urged
American Intervention to rescue Bel
GUM and France from the Huns; he
began violent attacks on the Wilson
administration when the sinking of the
Lusitania brought nothing more than
a protest.
When the United States entered the
war Roosevelt tried hard to get sent
to France at the head of division of
volunteers, but his services We're re-
ieeted. However he sent his four
sons, and one of them was slain while
battling in the air; two Others one of
them severely, were wounded in bat
tie. All of them did heroic service
for their country.
But, it is probable that Roosevelt's
fame will rest more on his writings
than on his career in politics. His
early histories were epics of the west
where he had been rancher ana big
game hunter. As an essayist he had
few equals, and as an editorial writer,
which engaged his time for the past
year he was trenchunt and at times
picturesque.
Had Roosevelt lived and been in
good health, there is little doubt that
he would have been the next presl-
dent of the United States. The repub-
lican voters were for him, and the
soldiers who have returned from
France were for him almost 10 man.
But Roosevelt's active work is fin
ished At the age of sixty he had lived
greatly, had achieved much, his influ-
ence on the nation and the world was

THE FATHER OF THE SHORT
STORY

The father of the short story was
Giovanni Boecaccio, an italian novel
ist and poet. who died at Certaldo 54S
years ago. His 'Decameron," collec-
ton of short tales, each complete in
itself, practically marked the begin
ming of the short story. Boccaccio
was born about 1913, and his works
reflect the immoral-or immoral
spirit of the tmies in which he lived,
and a majority Of his tales are of a
character which would now land the
author in inil, if he could find n pub
Usher to offer his works for sale. De-
spite their immoral tyT-possibly be-
cause of 1.-THE "Decomeron' has
been translated into nearly every Ian
guage and is still widely read. Liter
airy critics rank the work as master
piece. Ralsac and many other modern
authors have found inspiraticn in the
works of the celebrated Italian. His
faults were those of his time--and, for
the matter of that, of much later

WHERE Is BERNHARDI?

"World Power or Downfall?" were
the alternative put before the Ger
mans by Bernhardi. The answer to
the question is downfall. 1t Will be
interesting to see what happens to TINS
apostle of German jinsoism in the
shuttle. When last heard from, some
five months ago, he was COMMANDING
German army in the Lys salient,
where he was being daily mauled ana
manhandled by the British troops. IL
is interesting to remember that 1t was
Bernhardi who, as a young German
officer. was the first man to enter
Paris at the head of the German
forces in 1871. He saw the begin
nings of n-Germanism; he became,
in the days of its power its most ar
dent champion and now he sees 1t
crash down into utter ruin. or course
when he asked his famous question he
had nc doubt about what the answer
would be. But he did not know the
quality of the peoples whom he view
ed as sacrifices to the German sword.

WHERE FATHER WAS WEAK.

Speaking at a diner, Senator Joseph
f. Ransdell of Louisiana, referred to
the ability that some people have of
making excuses and recalled an anec-
dote along that line.
Some time since the call of the wild
proved too irresistible for Willie, ana
when the school bell rang he was far
away trying to fit. an objecting worm
to Il fish hook. The-next day he was
called to the front by the teacher.

you remain away from school | want
you to bring me an excuse from your
father, telling me why you were not
here
Il don't want to bring an excuse
from father, Miss Mary" protested the
boy. 1T wouldn't do any good
"Why not from your father?' asked
the teacher, although she had what
she though was the reason well fixed
in her mind
Because father is poor hand at

Joiner of Willie. Mother finds HIM

Although the battles of bullets are

Many stories came to me from the
hospital of Decentralization. And of all

these women as they take up the task
of drawing the threads of things to-

lest on them.
But | cannot think of anything that
might soothe their sorrows and suf-
ferings more than the letter that the
greatest man of all the ages wrote to
