DAMN THE TORPEDOES."

The days of kings are about over
Also the hour has struck for the abo.
ltion of all hereditary titles and priv
ileges. Likewise, the people who wor-
ship ancestry because that ancestry
in America can be traced back to
Plymouth Rock, or to the feudal
lords of the colonial days of the south
are soon going to be lonesome. This
is the day when every tub must stand
on its own bottom, when the indiyid-
ual must swim by his own efforts or
sink.
The Chinese worship their ancestors.
No man ever rises above that which
he worships. The fifth Command
ment reads: Honor they father and
thy mother that thy days may be long
upon the land which the Lord thy God
Eiveth thee" The days of China have
been long, but what profit Is it that a
people merely stays on the earth?
China has not honored its parents by
worshipping them. 1t has merely
numbered itself with a dead past.
The people of the world must inn
prove on their fathers accomplish
ments, lest the whole world Chinafy.
An ancestor is good for but two
things To make you what you are
and to inspire You to be what you
should be. And getting inspiration is
not a business it is only brief prep
aration for business. Time spent in
adoring the good old times" is Just
so much time wasted. No old times
are as good as those just ahead.
The human animal was born with
eyes in the front of his head and his
whole physical frame was shaped for
going forward. OF all the animal life
of the world. the crawfish probably
is the only one that finds it about as
easy to go backward as forward.
For this sermon. here is the real
moral: Men today are sitting still,
because they are tied to the past.
They remember the pre-war way of
conducting business, and they find
that conditions now do not square
with their experiences then. They are
waiting for the good old times" to
return. They are looking back across
four bloody years. They are afraid
of the future. They are standing still.
This is a new era, 1t calls for
courage, for daring. 1t was Admiral
Farragut who said: Damn the tor
pedoes; go ahead"
In this new era the man who put
tcth his hand to the plow and looketh
back is not fit for the kingdom;" nor
will he get there so long as he looks
backward.

LEGISLATIVE SLOWNESS.

1t is probably felt by the majority
of people that the state legislatures
fail to measure up to reasonably good
standards of civic service One rca-
son is that the men of best ability and
greatest competence are so frequently
reluctant to stand for a legislative
seat. And one reason why they won't
take these offices is that the perform
ance of this duty takes SO much time
away from business.
So, i'm so far as a legislative body
can quit dwadling and perform it's
work quickly and promptly and ad-
journ, it makes service in such bodies
attractive to men of the best ability.
state legislatures generally con-
tinue their sittings longer than is
necessary, They drag them out until
tho members become weary and at
tendance is poor. Many of the most
important matters drag along until
the closing days. Undesirable prop
ostions often slip through in a poorly
attended session that would never get
by full house.
The presiding officer and the dom
mating group in any legislature should
make promptness one of their first
aims. 1t will reflect credit on the
men who manage the thing, and the
political party responsible.
Every legislator should feel that
the prompt completion of the work Is
up to him personally. He should not
feel free to absent himself from SEES
slons on private business except in
cases of the utmost necessity. His
constituents have little use for the
man who does not answer when his
name is called. If he wants to absent
himself when important business is
pending, he would better absent HIM
self all the time.
II these standards of public service
could prevail, legislature could clean
up its business in half the time it or
dinarily takes. Then q man whose
time was worth q good deal of money
would feel some satisfaction in be-
longing to body that showed bust
ness spirit.

THE INDUSTRIAL UNREST.

| Never before has the world seen
such u condition of industrial unrest.
In all civilized lands the working
masses are demanding higher stan
dards of living. In spite of gains they
have made, the conditions prevailing
in many industries are still unwhole-
some. Men and women break down
prematurely, many factories are UNI
sanitary. Great masses of people can
barely meet the cost of living and
find difficulty in raising families ac-
cording TO American standards.
Wherever wages are below a STAN
dard rate or hours unduly long, they
should be readjusted to suit the more
generous spirit of the times. Also
there may still be classes of people
who have not had the same advances
that Others have had. But advances
in wages are not enough alone to i'm
prove living conditions.
As a general rule such advances do
not come out of the employing class.
Ihey are added to the prices of goods.
by the time everyone has had his adj
vance in wages everyone has had to
pay corresponding advance in cost
of living.
The result of it all is dissatisfaction
and frequently turning to socialism
for an impossible remedy.
Permanent gains coma p,oetI,, Prov,
an Improvement in efficiency. When
people become more intelligent and
more skillful so that they can pro-
duce more, they make gains that are
not offset by any corresponding ad-
Vances in prices.
The whole question largely comes
down to a question Of education and
training. The industrial problem is
to so develop and train the workers
that they can turn out greater and
better product. 1t also becomes nee
essary TO have vast equipment of
labor-saving machinery.
There must be plenty of capital for
business men to borrow at low rates
50 that all industries can reduce tba
element of rough and hard labor Is
much as possible. This calls for. thrift
so that capital shall be abundant. and
10 be had at low rates. Education
technical training, thrift and machin-
cry are the foundations of universal
comfort and well being.

CHANCE FOR \ RAILROAD.

New Mexico will get new and I'M
portant railroad, If a sufficient tom
mage to warrant construction can be
shown. Interested in the matter is a
corporation which has many millions
of dollars invested in New Mexico
now. 1t wants no bonuses or other
financial assistance. All it requires is
to be shown where freight can be had
in sufficient quantity to Justify the
investment
We believe the showing of freight
will be sufficient to satisfy the owners
of the capital, and there is no DISPOSE
ton in New Mexico to deal unfairly
with public service corporations. Be-
cause our future development, our
prosperity in any larger way. depend

sums of money in New MeXico's re-
sources.

scented outrages in Mexico upon our
citizens, so feeble that the Lusitania
outrage surprised and shocked us
rather than angered US. The flame of
our nationalism was wan and pale,
and there were patriots who were
ashamed of their country,
Likewise there were traitors who
did not realize their treason. because
Germany was living meaning to
them and the United States of Ameri-
ca name for their abode.
But there were others than Ger
man-born who were not loyal at heart,
even if they were not disloyal in act.
One of the latter sort was William j.
Bryan, who left the cabinet rather
than see this nation resent attacks by
Germany on its citizens. who sought
by every means possible to prevent
congress from declaring the existence
of state of war, who sought to pre-
vent the raising of an adequate army,
who sought to have our men remain
on this side of the ocean until Ger
many had become victor or vanquish-
ed. OF course, we were to defend our
selves if the Germans landed an army
on our shores
Now. Mr.. Bryan comes out Of his Sc
clusion and begins to chatter to the
people on the beauties of government
ownership of railroads. His voice was
not heard anywhere during the war
period, but he wants it heard, now
that his country's peril is past. His
slogan is government ownership of
railroads.
The people should send Mr.. Bryan
back to his seclusion The man who
refused to contribute the elolucnce of
tongue and pen during the days Of
the mighty struggle should not be
paid to use them now. whcr he dan
ger is over, to line his own pockets.
