GENERAL DICKMAN is RIGHT.

There is a good deal of testing in
this country and in Mexico over Major
General Dickmans order that the
$4,000 held out by Captain Matlack,
who daringly took the last of the
aviators on his horse behind him and
dashed into the Rio Grande with the
remainder of the ransom money in his
hand, must be paid over to the
bandits. He says the good faith of
the government and the army is at
stake.
Mexican and American newspapers
are jestingly constituting it that the
American cavalry is pursuing the
bandits for the purpose of forcing
upon them the unpaid balance due
them.
While we applaud the daring of
Captain Matlack. we must all agree
that the sober Judgment of his COM
mandor is right. This government
cannot afford to break its word, even
with bandits.
Once pledged. the money should
have been paid over. If the army
then could overhaul the miscreants
retake the money and kill them. il
would he entirely proper. There was
10 promise that the United states
would leave them unpublished after
payment of the ransom No sucl
promise was even implied But it wa!
promised that the money would be
delivered in exchange for the prison
ers That promise was not kept I
should he kept to the letter, even a
this late date, if it is possible to do so
Kant laid down the rule that W.
may not do that, which if done by al
would destroy society. If all were t.
break their promises We would hav'
anarchy, just as we would hav
anarchy if all were to resort TO ban
ditry.
Germany regarded her treaties a
mere scraps of paper. and the worl'
war with it's untold miseries resulted
Great Britain stood by her pledge +
Belgium, and civilization was rescue
from ruin. The word of Greece wa
pledged to Serbia to come to her as
sistance should she be attacked b
Bulgaria. King Constqntine refused
to keep the pledge, and he is nov
living in retirement in Switzerland
The private citizen who breaks hi
fellow men. The word of a great ma
ton should be far more sacredly KEEP
than that of private individual, be
cause it is supposed to represent tn
collective conscience of the whole pee
pie.

THE PIlUNlB Plan.

New OrK IflDuIit.
Suppose the railroads were turned
back to private control and managed
by boards of directors elected by the
stockholders; then suppose these
stockholders could declare any divi-
dcnd they pleased and the interstate
commerce commission were compel ed
to fix rates that would realize the
money; under these circumstances one
may imagine what the stockholders
would do. And human nature being
about the same, whether a man is a
stakeholder or a railroad worker, one
may imagine what would happen
under the Plumb plan. 1t is funda-
mental to have public control over
rates, and if h ere is a lease, to have
the lecsces take the risk of the bust
ness But these things are the exact
things the Plumb pan avoids pro-
vidng for. SO it is difficult to assess
its quality or to predict its conse-
QuenCeS.

THE UNREsERvED PUBLIC LANDS

Twenty governors assembled at
Salt Lake City endorsed the plan pro-
posed by Governor Larrazolo to tufA
the public lands over to the states.
That does not mean the forest re-
serves, because they are not public
lands.
The state of New Mexico's future,
unless oil. is struck in quantities lies
in securing title to the twenty million
acres now held by the federal gov
eminent as public domain. Securing
that land would mean a great reduc-
ton in the taxes of every taxpayer in
the state.
The only excuse of the federal gov
eminent for retaining title to these
Glands is that they may be taken up by
homesteaders. But we know that no
sands are left upon which a home
steader can make a living. He can't
live on any section, let alone a quar-
ter section. He can't live on two sec
lions.
But these lands could be sold to
livestock men in large tracts at prob
ably an average of three dollars an
acre, thus eventually producing a fund
of approximately sixty million dollars
for the state. This fund should be
permanent, for the maintenance OF
public schools or for the endowment
of public roads,
Until the lands could be sold they
could be leased and the income there
/ from used for the same purposes
When sold they become subject L
taxes, thus yielding to the state IN
comes from the interest on the none!
and from the taxes.
The federal government doesn'
make expenses from the administra
ton of these lands. therefore, as nj
homesteader can get anything from
even section except disappointment
they should be ceded to the state, TO
the only beneficial use that can b
made of them.

POISON TAKEN FROM NAcClNEs
Nail

A new method of preparing vacolnes
is described in the Lancet by Captain
David Thomson and Captain David
Lees. which, the writer's think, may re-
suit in the complete mastery of in
fectous diseases.
The discovery that has been made
is that vaccine can be detoXicated'
with the discovery of the 'detoXica-
ton tremoval of the poison), says
Doctor Thomson II have been able
to inject without toxic symptoms doses
greater than We're ever dared before
with the result that much greater
amount of immunity is developed.
Doctor Thomson believes that a lew
doses of a compound detoxicated vac
cine given in october and again IN
January will afford considerable pro-
lection from influenza.

MIn the DAYS NcwS.v

Probably the only man who was
present at the signing of the peace
treaty which concluded the Franco
Prussian war in 1871. as well as the
treaty ending the late world conflict,
is Lord Dunraven, the noted sports
man, soldier and politician. In his
early days he was war correspondent
for a London newspaper, and 1t was
in that capacity that he went through
the siege of Paris and later was pre-
sent at Versailles when the peace
treaty was signed. Lord Dunraven's
family is one of the few of Irish origin
in the Irish peerage and claims to be
descended from one of the early kings
of ireland. The present holder of the
title has been undersecretary for the
colonies and has held several other
public offices. but to the people in
general he is best known in his char
acter of a brilliant yachtsman. on
two occasions he has built yacht for
the purpose of trying to win the
America cup, in both of which at
tempts he was. however. unsuccessful.

One never hears of 1. w. w. leaders
trying to settle a strike. Their pur-
pose ever seems to be to start some

calling for wage increase and when

goods securities offered by the
swindlers were worth as much more
than Liberty Bonds as they say they
are, they would not be so eager to
part with them for the government
securities.
Concerning the use of the latter in
ordinary merchandising, the authority
says that those displaying the notices,
Liberty Bonds are accepted in pay
ment," must know that they are en-
couraging a bad practice, and one
that, in most cases, works ultimate
harm to the small investor. 1t dis
courages thrift and tends to undo the
great work zone in the Liberty loan
campaigns to teach people to invest
their savings in good bonds. 1t con-
tinues:
"UnQuestionably there is chance for
fraud in exchanging merchandise for
Liberty Bonds. Exorbitant prices fol
articles and goods may be eXacted and
a deprecated price put on the bonds
taken. There is probably as
much fraud in the exchange of mer-
chandise for bonds as in exchanging
stocks or bonds of questionable value
for government securities. If the prac-
tice is not discouraged. it will end in
greatly deprecated market for Lib
erty Bonds. The rich and provident
will then possess the bonds and the
small investor will be long only of eX-
perience, with the usual cutlery that
he has been exploited"
Those who advise you to stick to
your Liberty Bonds are your friends
Those who urge you to sell are only
after your money,

STICK TO YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Every holder of Liberty Bond
owes it to himself as we'll as to the
government to stick to his investment
to prevent the depreciation Of all gov
eminent securities.
Obviously the only reason that some
of these choicest of securities are
selling below par is that a number of
individuals are willing to part with
them at reduced prices. Now comes
the test of whether you have the quail
ties of thrift; whether you merely
bought under the patriotic impulse Of
the movement and can now, with the
excitement of hostilities ended, pa
tempted to bow in your savings for
something you could get alons with
out, or whether you are able u hold
your gain over expenses and continue
adding to 1t.
The Wall Street Journal sounds
some timely warnings IN the subject.
1t attacks not only the swnd'ers who
are trying to get these gilt-edge bonds
by exchanging worthless securities for
them, but also the retailers who en-
courage the use of bonds by. the peo-
pie as money in ordinary exchange for
merchandise. Referring to the cases
of the comparatively few individuals
who find themselves in positions
where they have TO sell, it says:
Those who must sell their Liberty
Bonds for pressing reason should dc
so through well-established houses OF
through banks where honest treat
ment and advice can be relied upon
The reputable house will tell yot
that there IS no better security thar
