ANOTHER DREAM SHATTERED.

In taking over the operation of the
railroads the government undertook
the greatest task ever attempted in
the history of business. Running q
single railroad had been considered
enough for the biggest brains in the
country Sometimes when two rail
roads would consolidate, people would
say the combined thing was too much
for one man to handle.
Here it was proposed to have the
government operate the entire rail-
road system. 1t was known that gov
eminent employment has tendency
to deaden ambition and discourage in
itiative. One would think that such q
tremendous task. facing such formid-
able difficulties. would have called
for the entire time Of the best rail-
would have been too big a job for
him at that.
Instead of looking for such a man
for this almost superhuman task. it
was very characteristic of the admin.
istration to make one of the cabinet
officers. Mr.. McAdoo. the director
general OF railroads.
Secretary McAdoo already was
struggling under a tremendous bur
den, the financing of the war, He
handled it with much ability. yet il
was enough to take every minute of
his working time and keep him awake
nights.
The dreamers of the Wilson admin
istration regarded the organizing of
the railroads under government ad
ministration the greatest executive
task which the human brain ever at
tempted in the history of the worlds
business, as something that an over.
worked man could do in his spare
time. And that mans experience had
been along a different line at that, II
was no wonder that railroad operation
| broke down and has proved so disap-
pointing. The real responsibility is
not with Mr.. McAdoo. 1t is up to the
one who asked him to undertake job
that any ordinary business man should
have known was an impossibility.

taking pains outside of ones immedi-
ate personal interests. 1t means eter-
nal vigilance. The old New England
town meeting was the first unit of
democracy, and the closer the gov
eminent keeps to the folks--men and
women. old and young. wise and ig-
norance. strong and weak-the better
is the government and the better it is
for the people,
There is a constant tendency on our
part TO let some one else settle ques-
lions for us. while we theortze. But
an actual grip of a real situation is
better than much theorizing. At any
rate democracy is government by Just
average everyday folks; but they
must be willing to cooperate and TO
sacrifice something. If need be. for
the common good.
When democracy becomes willing
to accept some mans opinion on any
public question. the government is no
longer a democracy in fact though
ii may stll be bone in form.

\ HARD LAW.

According to the Carlsbad Argus
the government farm loan banks de-
cline to make mortgage loan on irrl-
gated lands in the Pec0s valley under
government irrigation projects. The
reason is that there is a lien upon
such lands to cover cost of systems
Land owners are making = vigorous
effort to have the reclamation law
changed so that payment of sums due
the government may lie secured
through ability to refuse service to
lands that become delinquent in such
dues,
There ought to be a way out past
the obstacle, The reclaimed lands are
desirable to many farmers who need
to borrow money to build homes and
equip places with stock In order to
reach a profitable stage or develop
ment quickly. As it stands now only
men with capital enough TO purchase
and equip can handle lanes under
reclamation projects.
The intention of the reclamation
law to make arid regions produce and
the intention OF the farm loan law
are checked By the restrictions.

LET ALI THE PEOPLE RULE.

Two great social experiments have
been tried recently. The cult of the
superman was carried to its ultimate
possibility by Prussianism. Ii was the
doctrine that might makes right. and
that the struggle for power results i'll
the production of the superman who
has the right to rule all others, be-
cause of his power.
Following that came the cult of the
under man, as he is pleased to call
himself, known as Bolshevism. Boil
shevisn has ruled in Russia for nearly
two years, and Russia is in ruins 1t
must be rebuilt. Disorder. violence.
hunger, disease and terror have done
their perfect work. and Russia is now
in the grip OF a small group of theor-
lists. sustained in power by an army
of plunderers and fanatics,
These two social experiments-tha
of the superman and the under man
have failed, and brought terrible
suffering with them. They are at
tempts at government by one class.
their appeal is to one class and their
unit is class unit. They are based
upon distrust Of democracy.
The unit of democracy is not the
educated class, the political class, the

AGRICULTURE OUR SALVATION.

In speaking yesterday morning Of
the menace of the rising water level
The Journal spoke of Magdalenl,
when San Marcial was meant Of
course. But the problem is in now.se
minimized by laughable typoeraph-
zeal error.
The journal again wishes to call
attention to the necessity for bringing
up the soil Of the Rio Grande valley
to the highest possible degree of pro-
ductivity. With the land properly
drained it would be quite possible to
produce several tines the amount of
foodstuffs produced now in that area.
Land is the chief source Of physical
life. one crop failure simultaneously
suffered over all the world would
probably cause the death of much
more than half of the human race in
one year It is not at all improbable
that fully three-fourths of the people
of the earth would perish as a conse-
quence-so close do we live to IT,
soil.
This Immediate and vital depend
ence on the soil has created kind
Of human instinct that one should
hold title to tand-at least to enough
to furnish a years food ration for one
family. Men who think carefully or
carelessly concerning self-support,
gree that a little land is good thing
for any man to own, as a kind Of old
age insurance.
The idea of safety in land is based
on two beliefs: First, that living on a
farm is the nearest approach to sim
plicity in living; and second. that the
man on the farm is the least likely
to die of hunger.
The history of the human race has
proved these two points to be well
taken. The case of Germany, during
the long and drastic blockade. is now
prominent testimony. The best nour-
ished people in central Europe today
are the comparatively rich and the
owners of land. Even the German
police, that searched the pantries,
were unable to prevent the owners of
land from living we'll. so far as food
was concerned.
North and south of Albuquerque are
enough lands, Of the richest in the
world, TO feed all of the people living
on them and the people of Albuquer-
que as well--if the lands are once
drained and put under intelligent cul-
tivation.
Large areas of this land are now
worthless Larger areas will become
worthless soon. if they are not drained
quickly If the water level is permit
ted to continue to rise. it will prove a
calamity of the first magnitude to the
economic destiny of this community.
