LOST BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

July 4, 1919, has a pecu liardistinc-
ton. 1t is the first Independence day
on which Americans will have had to
think not only of the liberties they
have won but of those they have lost.
The above editorial in the New York
World was a slam at prohibition.
We have lost the liberty TO make
our fellow men drunk, for the benefit
of our pocket books. Should it be
otherwise?
We have lost the liberty of selling
cocaine to poison its devotees. Should
the privilege be restored?
We have lost the right to carry
dynamite secretly in suit cases on
passenger trains There are dyna-
miters who regret the deprivation.
The government permits citizen to
have booze in his home and to drink
it, That personal liberty is not lost.
But he cannot turn such privilege into
matter of business.
Oh, yes! for the first time America
has had an Independence day when
all the people could think--yea. know
they had lost" the greatest evil
that ever existed under the misnomer
of liberty.
Liberty in use and traffic of alcohol
ruined more lives, wrecked more
homes, made more paupers. melted
more murders. caused more deaths,

ALBUQUERQUE LOSES.

Ground has been purchased at
Phoenix for million dollar hotel,
The Arizona city first acquired fame
as a climatic resort for inyalids of
the class that supplies several thou
sand visitors annually to Albuque cque.
In sunshine and health giving air
Phoenix does not equal Albuquerque.
The Salt river valley is so intensely
hot that citizens and visitors alike
desert it in droves when summer
comes.
Albuquerque people do not have to
flee to the California coast for RELIEF
for weather here remains compare
lively comfortable Those who seek 4
change or recreation find such in a
drive of two or three hours into the
high timbered regions where trout
streams and mineral springs abound
But Albuquerque has not a million
dollar hotel in sight and the winter is
coming on when wealthy climate
seeking tourists will pass by without
stopping, en- route to Phoenix and
California.

PAGAN DAYS WILL END.
Living Age,


Just at the moment, much is being
said and written about the laxity in
manners and morals when has APP
peared since the ending of the war
All great crises have had just such
social reactions. The period of the
French directory, for instance, was
extraordinarily profilgate and loose.
Dancing, too, was the rage.
Yet, though today's Jazz is vulgar
and Hottentot it is, less repuisive to
modern minds than the Ball of the
Victims, made illustrious by the lovely
Madame Tallien. These balls were
the height of the fashion, ana every
body had to wear "coiffure a la
victime," which, being interpreted,
meant style in which the hair was
pulled up from the nape of the neS>
and held by comb to keep 1t out OF
the way of the guillotine!
For some years, therefore, we shall
probably have to look forward COM
placently to unsettled weather in civil
lized manners and morals. But a re-
action will come. The pagan days of
the English regency in Victorian pro-
priety, horsehair furniture and crino-
line,

THEY'D LEARNED THEIR LESSON

ftdTNdTu
Professor Quincy was one of the
most genial instructors and the most
skilful of disciplinarians. AS a teach
er Quincy was always kind and cour-
teous, but nevertheless a terror to
drones and evildoers.
For example, take the case of a
student who was afterward a distin-
guished professor in the medical
school. We were reading Cicero's
Epistles. In the lesson for the day
he was describing a scene in court,
when it was evident that in the morn
ing before the witnesses came in they
had been suborned and instructed
what to testify. l will call the student
Drake. He had not looked at his
lesson, and when called upon began
to translate until he came to this
passage.
He could make nothing OF it. but
looked up with a helpless air and said,
II don't think ! understand this pas
sage" Quincy bowed, and with the
utmost suavity said, 1T means, Mr..
Drake, that they had learned their
lesson before they came In in the
morning"
AS that was exactly what 1t did
mean, the fellows set up a shout and
Drake dropped into his seat.

THE FALL RESOLUTION.


Mr.. Taft has made an analysis Of
Senator Falls resolution to declare
that a state of peace exists between
the United States and Germany. He
pronounces the resolution preposter-
Gus, because. he says, it would require
two-thirds of the house and senate to
pass it over the presidents veto.
Mr.. Taft does not contend. for a
moment, that war is not status. as
Senator Fall says. We did not declare
war against Germany, but merely an
nounced that a state of war; existed
with Germany. 1t had existed from
the time the Lusitania was sunk. Ger
tainly no person in the United States
doubted its existence from the mo-
ment Germany declared ruthless sub
marine warfare.
Congress merely passed a resolution
recognizing the status.
BY the same token, congress can
pass a resolution recognizing the stat
us of peace.
gress has to have the approval of the
president, except resolutions propos-
ing constitutional amendments, is a
fact. But the moral effect or a joint
resolution declaring the war ended
would be just the same, whether the
president gave it his approval or not,
OF course, the president would not
be bound to send diplomatic and con-
sular representatives to Germany.
But he is the sole judge of whether
be shall do so, even in times of peace
1t makes no difference what we
may say or do for or against the
treaty, it is not going to get the ap-
prevail of the senate without certain
reservations for the future safety of
the United States.
The advocates of ratification say
there need be no fear of this country
being compelled to do what it ought
not to do. treaty or no treaty" That
is an exact quotation from one of the
strongest advocates of ratification.
La Mar, the wolf of Wall street"
used TO say that mo man ever signed
a contract with any intention of keep
ing it. if adverse conditions arose, If
he could find q way in the courts to
break it."
We are being told to enter solemn
agreement, as solemn as any nation
in the world ever entered into, as
solemn as that Of Germany to main
tain the neutrality Of Belgium, with
the suggestion that if later we shall
find it desirable to regard the obll-
cation as mere scrap of paper"
we can do so.
Such theory, if held by a majority
of our people. would sap the founda-
tons of government, and would event
ually destroy civilization itself.

POETS VOICE rs FOR ALCOHOL.


Sir--It is no doubt generally rec
ognized by reasonable persons that,
while the brutalizing influence of al
cohol taken in excess is sufficiently
large fact, the genializing Influence
of alcohol taken in moderation is a
much larger one. And it has proba-
bly, also been noticed that those races
which are least capable of the notJe
emotion of pity are, broadly speaking.
the non-alcoholic races. But nowhere
have 1 seen stated, with any attempt
at a combined physiological. psyche
logical and ethical definiteness what
seems to me by far the largest fact of
all about alcohol-namely. that by
virtue Of its subtly and cumulatively
genializing Influence throughout the
historic ages 1t has played great
and beneficent part in the moral
evolution of man. Years ago I tried
to say this with some succinctness in
verse; but contemporary verse seems
only here and there to reacn thinkers,
even when written by them. as occa-
sionally it is. Perhaps this coarser
and cruder prose may eaten their eye.

WILL LANSING QUIT THE GAME?

Secretary of State Lansing will re-
turn to Washington this month from
Paris and it is not improbable he will
resign as secretary. 1t is assured that
he will cease to be delegate at the
peace conference, which has still i'm
portant work to do that should be in
the hands of a trained diplomat and
attorney like the secretary Of state.
The New York World correspondent
at Paris. whose communications have
all been in conformity with the policy
Of that paper. in favor of the ratifica-
ton of the league covenant, says it
is no secret that Lansing emphaticalN
opposed the compact signed by Presi-
dent Wilson to be submitted to the
senate, agreeing for the United States
to 90 to war in case of France being
attacked by her enemies.
Lansing says the agreement is in
violation of the constitution of the
United States 1t is virtually a decla-
ration Of war in advance of cause.
1t would bind the American gov
eminent to do something that might
at the time not meet with the APP
proval of the people.
1t is clear evidence that France
takes little stock in the ability Of the
league of nations to prevent war.
1t is just exactly what President
Wilson said would never again exist,
the balance of power in the hands of
few nations. Now he seeks to es-
tablish such a combination and would
bind the United States to become a
member of it. to finance and fight
with it.
The agreement is subject to later
approval of the league. it is true, for
the sake of appearance. But of course
France, England and the United
States could secure such approval
from the league.
In this instance President Wilson
abandoned the ideal he had promul-
gated, in order to prevent France
from throwing overheard the pro-
posed covenant. Clemenceau was
from the first for an alliance under
old methods, for an agreement for
certain strong nations to stand to-
gether,
1t looks very much as if the presi-
dent sacrificed ideals in order to carry
one point. namely. to have a league
OF nations, even if it be but a shell.

BIC EATERS GET 1.
KIDNEY TROUBLE:
Take Salts at first sign of
Bladder irritation or Back
ache

The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble, because we eat too
much and all our food is rich. Our
blood is filled with uric acid which
the kidneys strive to filter out. they
weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general de-
cline in health.
When your back hurts or the
urine is cloudy. full Of sediment or
you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night if
you suffer with sick headache or
dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach,
or you have rheumatism when the
weather Is bad. get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys; to
neutralize the acids in the urine so
1t no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater beverage, and be-
longs In every home. because nobody
can make a mistake by having a
good kidney flushing any time.

UNGRATEFUL CARRANZA.

Carranza is not grateful to the Uni
ted States for the saving to him of the
important city Of Juarez. Following
that incident Carranza notified the
American oil companies in the Tam
pico district that hereafter they will
not be permitted to sink wells on their
own lands, bought and paid for under
provisions of Mexican law.
Only in one way can Americans
proceed to develop their property
by making formal acknowledgement
that it is not their property, but that
of the Mexican government.
The confiscatory laws decreed by
Carranza are retroactive in their APP
plication They are framed to de-
prive American owners of oil lands
of their property and to vest title to
the same In the government.

protested But Carranza pays not the
slightest attention to the protest.
Carranza was pushed into the seat
of power by the Wilson .administra-
ton, but he has been a thorn in the
flesh ever since. He was bad choice,
and he grows constantly worse.
Carranza is our enemy, because
temperamentally he hates us, because
educationally he despises us, and be-
cause racially he fears us, Avowed
or unavowed. he has been the one
German ally on the continent. Any
Carrancista government in Mexico will
be the potential enemy of the United
States, always ready to become an ac-
tive one upon any propitious occasion.
From any Carranza government we
may expect continued hostility to Am
erican interests and influence in Mex
leo, and support, open or secret, of
every influence there that opposes our
own.

Louis Ludlow in Washington Times.
One of the former Indiana vice
presidents of the United States tele-
graphed to George F. McCulloch to
come to Washington. McCulloch was
a power in state politics. At one time
he had the honor of being the news
paper boss of DIN w. Kennedy and

days he was guest at the vice pres
ident's home. where he was treated
royalty, but not word of explanation
was Forthcoming. Finally his press
ing engagements at home necessitated
his departure. The vice president es,
corted him to the depot in the vice

goodbye, said:
George, one of these days l want
to have a good. long talk with you.',,

later without knowing why ne had

DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASE.

Says the democratic Roswell Rec
ord:
we don't pretend to try to explain
it or excuse it. but we have noticed, in
common with others, that returned
soldiers are not very friendly in their
feelings toward the democratic party.
Some men who were strong democrats
before they went to Europe are now
declaring they will never again vote
a democratic ticket. Why? What
the matter with the democratic party,
anyway"
Probably soldiers are disposed to
quarantine the democratic party be-
cause it is suffering from interna-
tionalitis contracted at Versailles and
carried to the United States through
its victims.
But it is not likely to become cpl
remic among the troops. who were
thoroughly inoculated with Ameri-
canism before going into the infected
area.

SILVER DISCOVERED IN
DISCARDED MANGANESE;
MINER GETS SURPRISE
LsrseIAl eonnssrohpsnes 70 nosslne 1ouanA1l

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO AosNIAe JOURNAL
Tucson, Ariz., July Sit happened
at Patagonia, Ariz., since the recent
rise in the price of silver, but it serves
to show that in the mineral regions of
New Mexico mine dumps and ore
bodies may now hold many surprises.
A shipper had spent considerable
time and money in getting out big
shipment of manganese ore for the
war market, to find that the market
had gone by the time his shipment
crowded the ways at the Ell Paso &
Southwestern station.
He deserted the shipment and al
lowed it to remain, vainly seeking a
purchaser for weeks at a time. There
was none to be had. There simply was
no market for the stuff.
Finally, after he had been threat
ened with storage charges from the
railroad company, he went down to
take a look at it before wishing the
stuff on the company.
When he had looked over the ore
a little it occurred to him that it
might be well to see if there was any
sort of value in the stuff that might
pay for shipping. With his last few
dollars he paid for a general assay for
gold, silver copper, lead and zinc
That was the extent of his pile and his
last bet.
The Following day he got an assay
which started him for the railroad
freight office, where he ordered the
stuff shipped to FL Paso at once. The
stuff got through and he got a brief
testy message back:
I'VE are not in the market for man
ganese ores"
II amt sending you no manganese;
run it for silver"
For his assays showed so ounces OF
silver in the nearly discarded manga
nese ore pile.
