NOT NEAR BANKRUPTCY.

1.-THE republicans put New Mexico
near bankruptcy" That headline in
the Roswell Record may be in line
with the practice of political lying.
But why not remember that New
Mexico is not anywhere near bank
ruptcy? OF course the headline
writer knows that no Legislature does
all that every locality desires to have
done, or does things that suit every
community. ....'
AS the state grows new public needs
arise. The legislature passed meas
ures calling for some increased ex-
penditures, but the public will get the
worth of the money. AS the popua-
ton increases public institutions call
for greater support and new utilities
must be provided Any legislature
that fails to give the state what is
needed, from time to time, will be
worse hated than a body which adj
vances the public welfare. New
Mexico does not propose to go back
wards. The people are not crabs.
Public economy Is proper. But had
the legislature turned down measures
needed there would have been attacks
made by the Record headliner Any
political party expects such captious
assertions, and readers consider the
motive. But to call New Mexico near
bankruptcy. with her wealth and in
terests rapidly growing. is not exactly
the thing to do for a party advantage.
In closing let It be noted that one
of the big increases in appropriations
was for the New Mexico Military in
stitute located at Roswell. Will the
Record say that increase was not
warranted?

London, March 2S.-Maj. Gen. Sir
Percy Granville Girouard, a distin-
guished engineer, has conceived plan
by which letters can be reduced for
the purpose of transit to one-fiftieth
of their present weight. so making
airship mail between Great Britain
and the United States practical
proposition.
'In other words" says the Daily
Mail sit will be possible in the near
future for business letters from
Great Britain to be delivered in the
United States in four or five days at
a cost of not more than double the
current rates. The system has been
submitted to the postmaster general,
yand as Sir Percy is on a business
trip to the United States he may
place his proposals before the Ameri-
can government.
by his system each letter on
standard notepaper, say 10XS inches,
will be photographed and filmed in
space one inch by three-quarters of
an inch. The film will be carried
by airship across the Atlantic in
three days at most and then repro
duced on the same size note paper,
placed in an envelope and addressed,
sorted and delivered. 1t is estimated
that the present average business
mail from Great Britain to America
is ESQ to 800 tons on each steamship.
Reduction in weight to one-fiftieth
would make the weight of film five
or six tons. The procedure has been
thoroughly tested with existing APP

clash in New York and Federation of
Labor men announce that they will
drive the Bolshevist and |. w. w
combination out of the unions. The
combination has mailed a call in the
name of Workers Council, to 120,0
workers in the waist and dress in
dustry, to send delegates to a con-
vention at the Russian Peoples
house, preparatory to taking things
into their own hands. in shops in
their line of work. The leader of the
movement, who publishes radical
sheet, when interviewed by the dis
trict attorney, declared says the New
York World, that he favored armed
revolution to overthrow the govern
ment; that he would fight in such a
revolution with force and weapons"
and that he favoredE an uprising of
the poor of the east side" to go TO
Riverside Drive and take from the
rich the things that belong to them"
To head off the effort to Russianize,
dress unions in the Federation of
Labor are preparing for drastic treat
ment of the anarchists and have adj
dressed communication to the work
ers, saying substantially as follows:
efforts are bling put forth by
group of extreme radicals to effect
Soviet form of government in this
country. AS Americans and as men
who have spent their lives in this
trade we feel that you will sooner or
later wake up to the realization that
this group of Reds are using the
needle trades and yourselves as work
ers in those trades, to establish con-
dition in society that will not only
make our lot as workers intolerable,
but will place our country on the same
low level to which other nations have
sunk that have tried their wild and
irrational theories, with Russia as
shining example"
That the Red element are not Amer
leans and that the loyal Federation of
Labor men propose to bounce them
from the unions was declared to the
World, by the regular organization
leaders having charge of the matter,
in the following emphatic language:
THE elements we have to fight
against are the Russian, Hungarian
and Austrian revolutionary members
of the unions 1t cannot be truthfully
said that all of the membership from
those countries are Reds, but there is
no doubt that all of the Reds are from
those countries. We will fight the
Reds by forming an organization with
in the unions. 1t is battle between
Bolshevists and /. W. WIS, and their
principles on one hand and American
labor ideals on the other. Our object
will be to convert to Americanism
those men and women who may be
willing to embrace American ideals
AS to the others it will be our duty
and pleasure to kick them forever out
of the American labor movement

been wrought on these words in the
last months? The sovereignty idea
we borrow from Europe. 1t seems to
assert the right of nation not to he
interfered with but to interfere with
other nations at will. The isolation
idea we get from man who spent
the best part of his life opposing
provincialism and working to estab-
fish a union of states. We remember
the letter of the Farewell Address,
but have forgotten the spirit of the
man.
- AS for the Monroe doctrine If we
would stick to Monroe It would be all
right. But there are some who assert
that the United States is quite COM
petent to settle any dispute we may
have with the nations to the south Of
us and resent any agreement that
might involve the participation OF Eu-
rope in our affairs. This is imperial
ism in its simplest and crudest form.
But because it is our own nation
that is involved we call Il patriotism
and fail to see the viciousness of the
idea. Does anybody suppose that
South America would ever subscribe
to a Monroe doctrine of that kind?

TiIE DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS

ed that she should have 10 pay no
federal taxes, and furnish no troops

have considered it tinreasonab Or
dinarily we recognize the, connection
between privileges and obligations.
And suppose that some men had said
they thoroughly believed in the noble
ideal of statehood, but were opposed
to making any sacrifices or assuming
any, responsibilities. Their position
would have appeared unsound to ev-
erybody. In general, we do not get
things without paying for them
We must not expect to get a league
of nations without making some con-
cessions, Many of these concessions
we ought to be glad to- make. Sup
pose we agree not to attack any coun-
try suddenly, but to walt at least until
our grievance is aired before the
world This is certainly giving up
some of our sovereignty But that
is the kind of sovereignty we ought
to renounce.
Suppose we agree that If any ma
ton. contrary to the constitution
makes a sudden attack upon another,
we will break off all trade and finan-
cial relations with the offending ma
ton. Loss of sovereignty again. Shp-
pose We agree that private munition
plants are to be abolished or taken

sovereignty. Suppose We enter an ex-

all the countries of the world. We
are abandoning our traditional policy
of isolation and submitting to the die

DISPATCH RIDING FINKNofERs

STARS ana Stripes, FRANCE
There are certain couriers with tho
Third American army who don't
worry about the paymaster. They had
been hiding their Inorganic talents in
the humble Guise of dispatch riders
and their daily courses lay between
Metz or Nancy on the one hand and
Luxembourg, Trier or Coblenz on the
other. n
They noted that the value of the
mark flunctuated greatly between
these cities. They noted. for instance,
that on the same day when they had
been asked 125 francs for 100 marks
in luxembourg. they were asked las
marks for 100 francs in Nancy. So,
on the side. they dabb1ed in interna-
tional finance.
For 500 francs at can be done by
craps) they would buy 725 marks in
Nancy. This would bring them around
800 francs in Luxembourg next day,
With this they would acquire more
than 1900 marks in Metz. And so
on and so on.

ming the western hemisphere alone,
he is talking not only against the pro-
posed constitution of the league of
nations, but against any constitution
that might be devised And what
ever he may say about believing in
the theory of the league of nations
must be largely discounted.
1t is still for man to say that he
believes in partnership, but also in
always having his own way 1t is
silly for a man to say that he believes
in streets and schools. but not in
taxes And it is silly for man to
say that he believes in a league of
nations, but not in making any sacri-
fices to obtain one.

criticisms and hurry onto the con-
structive ones-the ones that are like

BODY OF JOSEPH ENDICOT1
FOUND YESTERDAY
Boys Fishing Along the Blue
Earth Locate Remains Near
SibIey Park

While fishing along the bank of
the Blue Earth river, just below the
Northwestern and Omaha railway
bridges near Sibley Park, Edwin
Hughes, fifteen years old, and anoth-
er boy discovered the body of Little
Joseph Endicott, nine year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. l. L. Endicott, who
was drowned in the river about eight
weeks ago.
The body was found about twenty
feet below the bridges, lying in the
water in a small eddy near the roots
of large box elder tree that hangs
over the water. 1t is said that the
boys were looking for a chance to
reach farther out in the water with
their poles and one of them remarked
he would step out on that "log."
Father Was Notified.
The other young man halted, re-
marking, Don't step on that, there
is shoe on it." A moments inves-
tigation revealed the fact that it was
the body of the lost boy. L. l.. En-
dicott was Immediately notified and
he in turn informed the police de-
partment. Chief of Police Jack
Martin hurried to the scene and
Coroner G.. A. Dahl was also mott
fed. The body was removed to the
Landkamer undertaking parlors.
Due to the fact that the water was
cold this spring, and also that the
body had probably been lodged some.

Gently, it was stated that the remains
were not badly decomposed. The
body was found about 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. 1t is thought
that sand had held the boy down
until recently when sudden shift
in the current probably released the
body, raising it to the surface. The
part of the river in which the body
was found and above this spot to
the place where the drowning &C.
CURED was thoroughly dragged sew
eral weeks ago.
Private funeral services were held
from the Landkamer undertaking
parlors this morning and burial was
made at the Minneopa cemetery.
The other young man with Edwin
Hughes was Richard Pontius, son of
Mrs. Anna Pontius. The two youths
were fishing when they ran onto the
body.
