believed they never would be turned

belief was general that the telegraph

public has been enduring higher and

HUNT FOR HURRICANES.


One of the most important govern
ment activities interrupted during the
war was the weather work in the
tropics 1t IS reassuring to learn that
its meteorological service in Caribbean
and West Indian waters. which was
much disturbed, is being rapidly re-
habilitated by the return of men or
the weather bureau who have beeh
doing valuable things for the army
in France. Our all but abandoned
southern stations are now being IN
spected, renamed and put in condl-
ton to give the earliest possible
WARNINGS of danger from the region
in which our most destructive sum-
mer storms originate.
II is none too soon that this is done
The hurricane season frequently re
gins in the early part of June.
Tropical weather work takes on
special interest this year because OF
the acquisition of the Virgin ISLANDS
by the United States, the development
of our merchant marine and increase
of our commerce with the countries
of I.atin-America. The weather bu-
reau already has Is stations in the
Caribbean sea, which furnish the
hurricane service by giving WORD OIL
dangerous air conditions there ana
over the Gulf of Mexico. To these
points of observation will be added,
this season a special meteorologlcal
station at Fort Meyers, Fla which Is
about $50 miles south of Tampa.

READJUST, If NECESSARY.

The warning is sent out by the
government that the cost of building
material, as a rule, is likely to be
higher during the coming twelve
months, and that there is no likeli-
hood of any lower prices for long
time.
What is Albuquerque going to do
about it?
Are we going to have the only com
pleted city in the United States?
If rents are not high enough to
warrant building, the answer is raise
the rents. There must be a read
justment. There has been readjust-
ment of wages, and some readjust-
ment of salaries. We must have re-
adjustment of rents, if that is stand
ing in the way of building enterprises,
Albuquerque must have more
houses.

The CANNING SEASON.

The golden harvest of fruit is rum
ming its annual course, and the war
has not detracted in the least from
the luciousness of the peaches. april
cots and cherries. The calendar of
fresh fruits passes all too swiftly. but
much of the sweetness is conserved
by the magic of canning. so widely
practiced now in well-managed house
holds.
Under direction of the experts sent
out from the agricultural college it
has become a practical economy to
store the wealth of the summer safely
away for the lean months of the win
ter and the spring.
Scientific instruction during the
early war period established canning
as a national conservation movement.
OF course, the initial Investment in
jars and tops and rubber bands and
sugar and fruits seems heavy just
now, and the process of canning i'm
poses hard work on the housewife, but
she finds her reward in the later APP
probation of the family and in the
reduction of food bills for the winter
and spring months.
Canning clubs were formed during
the war They reduced the amount
of work for the single family and also
reduced the cost by cooperative
buying.
Canning demands skill and fine
technique. The State college instruc-
tors have been of the greatest posi-
BILE benefit. and now large percent
age of the women of the state are able
to do canning about as scientifically
as the demonstrators.
The tradition of canning used to be
handed down from mother to daugh-
ter in sort of esoteric circle, but now
the schools teach the art in their do
mestic science courses.
1t is really marvellous how much
of the fruits sweetness is retained, tC
be enjoyed when the winter has SCI
in and before the spring has had time
to grow new crops.
But the canning should not stoI
with fruits. We now know that we
can have fresh beans the year around
as well as a lot of other vegetables.

HOW BOIlSHEVISM WOULD WORK

The difference between Bolshevism
and the present order of society,
which some call capitalism. arises out
of the question how the products of
labor shall be divided. There are
two fundamental ideas on that ques-
ton,
Take the case of a colony of people
who settle new country. How shall
they divide the products Of their
work? If they decide that the entire
product of the community should be
put in a heap and divided equally,
that is socialism. If each man keeps
what he produces himself, that is cap
italism or individualism. If the gov
eminent is by representatives of pro-
ductive labor only, that is a soviet
government.
Both the good and the evil of mod
ern life grow out of the principle that
every man be permitted to keep what
he himself produces. That principle
established, tremendous differences in
human ability show themselves. In
the new country. where everyone, did
manual labor. there would be no great
difference in production. A smart,
active man might be able to produce
four or five times as much as a lazy
one, but there would be no uemend-
Gus dispropOrtion
But when it comes to organizing
production on the big proportions OF
modern industry, the infinite differ
ences in human ability show them
selves. The man with executive abil-
! ity can take a run down industry and
rcvolutionize it. He throws out in
competent people and puts in fore
men having gifts for management. HI
systematizes processes, so everything
! follows in orderly rotation.
He introduces division of labor, sc
that by doing one thing right along
a man can accomplish many times as
much without working so hard. He
! obtains labor saving machines thai
greatly reduce human effort He
commands idle workers to bestil
/ themselves and he incites the ambiti.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS
TUESDAY. .......,
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

The issues upon which the great
presidential battle of 1920 Will be
fought are fast shaping themselves
II will be a contest fateful with his
tory in the making. The United
States faces new era, and new prob
lens press for solution.
The CONFUSION created by the most
terrific war that ever occurred on tins
planet has upset the ideas and pur-
poses of great populations. The Uni
ted States feels this volcanic upheaval
less than Europe. But it is impossi-
bic TO revolutionize Europe and not
feel the rocking of the storm on this
side of the Atlantic. AS the Whlrl-
wind and the tempest stir Europe TO
its depths the impulses Of this storm
must profoundly affect American life.
Europe is rebuilding its economic
and social system. Among the leu
tonic and Slavic peoples the recon-
struction is complete and entirely new
social structures are being erected,
IN fslSldlt. + tlllNt anu iNt'iS Ni-N
changes are not as revolutionary. But
they are going very deep.
As fast as social experiments are
made in Europe, there VIII be an in
sistent demand to have similar
changes attempted here, How far
will these demands be just. and how
far will they be illusory and perilous?
This is the great underlying question
which politicians and candidates must
face in 1920,
They cannot dodge and gumshoe in
the face of these demands. and be
content with the old type of strad-
ding utterance which used to satisfy
unthinking people. Each party must
present frankly, sincerely, in clear and
definite terms, its idea Of the proper
basis of reconstruction in the United
States.

BREAK. IN SOCIALISTS RANKS.

New ! OIk Evening l'OSl.
On its right. too. the socialist party
is in trouble. A rapidly growing ele-
ment of organized labor outside its
ranks sees the necessity of going into
politics, and set out to form party
which will capture the labor vote
why not join u.s." say the socialists.
Because" says the labor party,
through the mistakes of the socialist
party in the past, the very word is
more distasteful to many a GOOD trade
unionist than any other party name.
Socialist speakers used to attack re-
ligion. They used to organize indie
pendent unions to fight the official
labor movement. Even yet they are
violent against the American Fedora
ton of Labor. instead of trying tact
fully to penetrate ii from the inside.
Therefore, we are going ahead to do
the job we cannot wait for you to do.
We don't propose to disrupt the
unions, We are trade unionists first
and a party second We invite you to
see the evils of YOUR way and come
along with us And u would not be
strange if many socialists, disguised
with the left. We're inclined to do so.
