New Museum Opened.

The imposing ceremony which
marked the opening of the new mu-
scum building in Golden Gate park,
presented by NJ. II. De Young to the
citizens of San Francisco, was a great
occasion, and the various speakers
view with each other in the desire to
voice the citys appreciation of the
magnificent gift, All present ax-
pressed themselves as amazed at the
artistic and distinctive design of the
building, the striking beauty of its in
terror, and the profusion of mastery
specimens of the various arts.
1t was the life purpose of the
founder of the Memorial museum TO
put San Francisco on the map of the
world as museum city. To that end
he mad devoted many years of pa
tent effort, and had expended consid-
cradle sums of money when he real
lied that the original building was to-
tally unequal to accommodating the
growth of the museum idea in our
midst. The spirit of giving things to
museum having overrun the con-
veniences for housing them, it was
his thought to catch IN IN the build-
ing, and even to anticipate the devel-
opments of the future But between
the birth of the building project and
the day Of opening. new and unusually
valuable gifts We're added in such
number that instead of an addition
the donor was able to present a new
museum. AS such it has been well
coined, and San Francisco is now con-
sciously proud of the posessession of
collection of museum treasures
ranking with some Of the worlds
most notable institutions of the kind.

USING PUBLIC CREDIT.

The State Loan Board of Arizona
seems to be an organization with far
reaching financial power. An irrga-
ton and land company constructing
the Lymen dam found its plans for
| construction swamped by increased
mate OF $4,000 being swelled by
100000. The state has come TO the
RELIEF of the enterprise by loaning
! $50, 900 on the lands under the sys-
tenn, the company providing $4,000
and farmers outside of company
holdings supplying $1,000
That is good example of what
can be done at home by private and
public cooperation when capital can
not be secured from abroad. The
merits of this particular enterprise
are not known to the Journal. but
the instance goes to show that local
initiative is often the best way to get
results. New Mexico has no machin-
cry of this character. California is
aiding in reclamation of swamp lands
by loaning money secured by certifi-
Gates. and reimbursing the treasury
with payments from farmers.
Banks and other investors will ac-
cept public securities at times when
they will not make loans upon private
industries, and at lower than regular
loan rates. Great caution, however, is
advisable before launching any
scheme for public financing of enter
prises dependent upon the good
faith of communities needing devel-
opment. The failure of irrigation
companies in the last quarter of a
century have been many. The un-
dertakings of the government. how
ever, that does construction work and
accepts easy payments covering a pc
Rod of many years, are proving sue
cessful, enabling the water users to
acquire homes. Through final pay
ments associations of water users ac-
tually acquire the water, DAMS canals
ana power systems.

EXCESSIVE GAINS.

Secretary Redfield of the depart
ment of commerce announces that
the first efforts of his industrial
board will be to reduce excessive
profits"
Most peoples definitions of an exc
cessive profit would be the money
that some other fellow is making.
They would find good and sufficient
reason for any gains they could tuck
away themselves.
Nevertheless, many concerns do
charge exorbitant prices for lines of
goods in which they happen to have a
near monopoly. or q large control
over the market. A concerns reputa-
ton is frequently so thoroughly es-
tablished by tremendous campaign
of advertising. plus genuine merit in
the article. that 1t can produce at a
far cheaper rate than when it did
only small business.
The question must come up to such
a corporation, whether it will con-
tinue to maintain prices far above
production expense. or base them on
the actual costs, plus what would be
considered fair profit in other lines
of business.
The temptation to grab the imme-
date dollar is very big. The majority
of men would yield to it., But there
are several objections to this policy
The fact must generally become
known in the trade that there is a
large profit in those goods That is
sure to stimulate sharp competition
Other people will have the courage to
start in on big advertising campaigns

The League of Nations
BY JOSIAH F. REED.

We can accept 1t; but in adopting the
covenant we do not agree to follow
any recommendation of the council
whatever.
Neither the executive council nor
the body of delegates have power TO
make general laws or issue general
orders, and their recommendation
the nations of the league are in no
way bound to accept. Therefore |
say they have no legislative powers.
But we shall have to do under this
covenant, we shall have to do because
we agree to do it in the first place,
and not because we are setting up any
government with power to order us.
Our responsibilities will be independ-
ent of the organs of the league. They
will be binding whether the executive
council ever holds a session. And
therefore / say we are making a
treaty we are entering a league
What we agree to viii be part of
our law. But we are not setting up
a government over US. Is not the dis
tinction legitimate?

is LOVE BLIND?
BY HELEN ROWLAND.

all earthly paradise in a single human
smile, all virtue in single kindly i'm
pulse.
Friendship says, 81 hope, think, I
believe"-Loye says, Il know"
Love seeks the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow-and finds it in
a sunset, a poem, human heart.
And yet they paint Love with a
bandage over HIS eye.
And he is called "Blind Love"
Why?
Because love wears rose colored
glasses! ~
Because love sees all things beau
tiful, and closes his eyes to all that is
unlovely and unlovable.
Love sees no flaws in the beloved,
nothing to criticise, nothing lacking
Love sees so MUCH that is good
and wonderful that the little specks
do not show.
Love sees the COLOR of the soul,
the GRACE of the mind the LIGHT
in the eyes-and overlooks the brush
marks in the picture.
| DO not say. He loves her-but he
sees her faults" She loves him
but she does not understand him"
Love never misunderstands, never
criticises. never sees faults
| Love is never blind--until selfish
ness, or stupidity, or jealousy, or time
steps in, blurs the vision, and distorts
the picture.
! Love is NOT blind.
1t is lovers who are blind-blind to
| their own good fortune, to their own
high hope and happiness.
They are blind, when they wine the
star-dust out of each others yes-with
| reproaches, with suspicious, with crit
| icism!
| Then love throws W his hands,
| cries, Let me out of this"
And departs.
| For love will NOT look upon the
| unlovely--lest he get acid in his per-
| feet eyes!

THE WORLD WAITS PEACE

The urgent need for peace becomes
daily more evident. 1t was plainly Q
mistake to delay peace for more thar
four months-probably more thar
five months-in order to work out Al
the details OF covenant for league
of nations.
Germany would have signed rea-
sonable peace promptly, and the men
ace of Bolshevism there would have
been removed There would have
been no opportunity for Hungary tc
become Rolshevist. which may EN-
broIl us in another war
Word from Berlin indicates that the
Ebert government is likely to be over
thrown by Bolshevsts strikes on the
inside and attacks Fl ON the Lenine
government from the outside. In that
event the whole country, from the
Ural mountains to the Rhine would be
under Bolshevik rule--a menace to
civilization itself.
If the peace treaty had been signed
the work of reconstruction, of which
the wracked world stands so greatly
in need, would have been put under
way and hungry peoples, now en-
gagged in violence, would have had
something else 30 think about.
1t would have been practicable tc
insert agreements on the basic prin-
cples of league in such peace treaty
leaving the details to be worked out
later, with the advice and consent OF
the senate"
1t is most fortunate that the presi-
dent did not have his way about the
acceptance of the first draft of the
covenant When he cabled on Feb
ruary Is requesting that its terms be
not discussed by congress until he ar.
rived. he added this explanation
Each article was passed only after
the most careful examination by each
member of the committee. There Is
good and sufficient reason for The
phraseology and substance of each ar.
ticle."
If those who still are willing to ac'
cept on sight so vital document, are
not impressed with the constructive
criticism of Senator Fall, as published
in his recent interview in the Journal
let them refer to the statement Of
President Lowell of Harvard univer.
sity, supporter of the covenant, who
in opening his address in the Boston
joint debate said:
"The covenant is very defective II
its drafting. In places 1t is SO OBJ.
scure that the meaning is often incor.
rectly expressed and sometimes doubt.

has In fact been widely misunder.
stood"
President Wilson has recently giver
out statement in which he has ad
mitted the wisdom of the criticism
and reports from Paris say he is try
ing to have Incorporated in the docu.
ment specific reference to the Mon
roe doctrine, safeguarding 1t as one
of the vital principles of the Ameri'
can government.
Perhaps he will also consent to g
redrafting of that section which APP.
parently obligates the United States
to send fighting force anywhere in
the world on order of the league. Sen.
ator Fall said he never would vote
for league that might draft a New
Mexico boy to guard a Turkish
harem. , -..-

THE LISTENING POST
With Comments
Southwest

For Better Road-The distribution
of road funds in various counties by
local officials causes considerable
dissenson because locality paying
the most taxes and having the most
people does not always get q square
deal. Grant county has some very
fine roads. That from Silver City to
Tyrone, an important mining camp,
is much commended by travellers.
The big mining development near
Silver City justified the construc-
ton of the Tyrone road. The Chino
News, published at Silver City by the
Boy Scouts, O. X. s the Tyrone high
way but very strongly calls for bet
ter treatment of the Hurley Santa
Rita Fort Bayard country. This has,
1t is asserted, five times as many peo-
pie as are served by the Tyrone route
and pays more taxes than all the rest
| of Grant county.
Besides it appairs that the highway
| from Deming. much used by automo-
biles, should go through the Santa
Rita country, and a stretch of road
eighteen miles long not used much by
/ residents Abandoned. The suggested
route, would be but slightly greater
| in distance.
There is hardly country road in
| New Mexico more used than one from
! Santa Rita to Silver City would
| be IL made as good as it should be.
| Because 1t is not up to requirements
| doubtless many persons go by rail
| to Silver City, They who pay the
| fiddler should have chance to
| 4 ,nce. The Santa Rita folks and
mines are certainly doing much of
