The Morning After

On the day after Christmas most
people pick up the wrapping paper
and string scattered about and ask
themselves whether they really had
as much joy and pleasure from the
giving and receiving of gifts as they
ought to have had. They know that
those to whom they gave liked and
appreciated the spirit which led to the
giving, but did they like the gifts?
The overfowing ash barrels, the crowd
around the exchange counters in the
stores and additional packages on the
top shelves of unused closets and at
tics give the answer, in many cases.
It is less trouble and less effort to
give sensible and useful and appro-
pirate gifts than those which will
bring neither profit nor qualification
to the recipient. No matter for whom
the gift is designed or how expensive
or inexpensive you desire to make it.,
Government Savings Securities will
supply the giver's needs and the re-
ceivers' wants. Thrift Stamps, War
Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings
certificates and Liberty Bonds are ad-
justed to the limitations of every
purse.
Moreover their usefulness is not
momentary. They will not be cast
aside as out Of fashion or outgrown
Itsor they grow and increase in value
with the passage of time. They car
ry with them the spirit of desire for
future well-being expressive of true
friendship and affection. They are ap-
propriate for all and more than lit
tie excuse exists for a recipient to
feel that little thought has been spent
on gift no matter how expensive, if
it is manifestly inappropriate.

BURLESON DOESN'T LEARN.

The New York Evening World says
the fundamental trouble with Post
master General Burleson is that "he
is born bureaucrat without the abil-
ity or grasp to make his bureaucratic
methods produce one iota of justifica-
ton in the shape of results"
That is a splendid generalization.
Put concretely, Burleson has bossed
the telephone and telegraph service
into a muddle of confusion and in
efficiency. He has carried his policy
to the extreme of favoring one private
enterprise over another of attempting
to wreck one for the purpose of build
ing up another.
Within a few days Burleson will
turn back the cable lines to their own
ers, but he says the telegraph and
telephone lines must be held by him
until congress acts.
What he really means is that he
wants congress to grant the twenty
per cent increase of rates demanded
by the Western Uunion. but which the
Postal says and proves is unnecessary
Burleson has given government
ownership the blacklist eye it ever
has received in this country. He has
shown what an INSCRIPTIONS bureau
crat might attempt to do toward con
trolling the utterances of the press
and toward wrecking one business
enterprise in the interest of another.

several times he kept on, until blow
came that SO disabled him that he
could no longer fight. He was sent
home with the sign of signal service
pinned on his breast.
Sorry, indeed, was he to find the de-
plorable condition at home. Yet his
lame leg did not stop his mental pro-
cesses and his courageous viewpoint.
T'e pondered over it all and then
81 oke to his brother something like
this:
Now, you go! Get into it some
how. Many an athletic heart and
flat foot is over there doing some
thing, some place. The cure Of a
coward is in the practice of courage
THE first element of courage is in
itiative. The way to have initiative
is to be able to stand alone or to go
alone.
"And finally, remember one thing,
the line of least resistance is the
furthest away from the firing line
The end of this fable is in the afore-
said advice, which the young man
followed
He learned that while the Zine of
least resistance" may sometimes be
the lifeline, more often it proves to
be the halter that hangs achievement.

CARRANZA QUOTES WILSON.

In condemning the Monroe doctrine
Carranza's official organ, FL Pueblo,
says Mexico, by approving of Monroe
ism would be denying her own SOW
ereignty and confessing that she need
ed big brother.
To strengthen its position FL Pueblo
quotes from an address delivered to
visiting Mexican editors by President
Wilson, who told them. according to
the editorial, that the Monroe doctrine
was a perennial source of difficulty,
in his opinion. in confirming friendly
relations. His address concluded with
this sentence:
"Let us have common guarantee
that all of US will sign a declaration
of political Independence and polit-
ical integrity
1t should have caused no surprise
that the president made no original
effort to preserve the Monroe doctrine
after throwing it down in talking to
Mexico through the journalists.

with coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await

Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and

gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sickheadaches,
backache. bilious attacks constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in

OUR GREAT MISTAKE.

We know today that the United
States made great mistake when
she undertook To NEEDLE in the affairs
of Europe. We did not go to war for
the purpose of hberating down
trodden nations or oppressed peoples
but for the purpose of making the
world safe for democracy. which
means making the world safe for our
selves.
The kaiser had demanded of us
conditions which no self-respecting
nation could submit to- He had
murdered our citizens, destroyed our
property and had openly boasted
what he would do to us when he had
conquered Europe.
We sent an army to Europe, be-
cause we could win with the assist
ance of the allies. and could keep
war from bringing its destructive
blasts to our own shores.

CREEL'S NEW JOB.

Perhaps there was another reason
for resignation of George Creel as
publicity agent of President Wilson
Upon returning from Europe Creel
gave utterance to a crouch he felt
because American journalists in
France declined to accept information
from him. He announced that hf
would at once proceed to 'delouce
American politics." 1t is now stated
from Minneapolis that Creel is to be
the publicity agent of the non-partisan
league that has socialized the farmers
and the government of North Dakota
and which, is seeking to control Min
nesota and other farmer states o;
that region. Is Creel to be the con-
meeting link between wisconsin and
the socialist movement? Was he
loaned for the purpose by his late
chief?

HOW NEW LAW IS WORKING

The coal mines of the st. Louis
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Railway
company in Colfax county are work
ing on full time and getting produc-
ton in proportion. But the other
coal properties in adjacent territory
are being worked but from two to four
days per week says the Ration Range
Last year all were busy all of the time.
The slowing down means much loss
to labor and trade in Colfax county
and in the markets which supply COM
missaries.
The New York Times of April 90,
in market report from Boston. said
that the four big porphry copper
mines, the Utah, Ray, Nevada and the
Chino of Grant county are down to
fifty per cent production basis com
pared with last year
In February of this year the total
production for the four was 22,2S7,67G
pounds. In March it decreased to
19,572,000 pounds. In March one
year ago when copper prices were
good and demand existed. the produc-
ton was almost twice as great, ST.
79S,046 pounds, says the Times.
How much of this decrease is
chargeable to the Chino IS not shown
in the market statement. But the
ninth annual statement gives the
Chino net earnings as $4.65 per share
in 1918, $11.62 in 1917, and $14.7G in
1916.
A Boston brokers' market letter in
the Silver City Independent says that
though the Chino treated more ore
In 1918 than in the preceding year
the copper production was much less
because of character Of ores and con-
ditions of operations.
The market letter adds that the
Chino taxes in 1918 Increased 1870
per cent over those of the previous
year. Most of this increase was due
to the federal law. for war purposes

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED
THE BOMB CONSPIRACY.

The attempt to terror!ze the nation
nv means of assassination through the
medium of internal machines SEM
through the mails, was the work OF
the |. w. W.-the American Bolshe-
Wiki.
The time has come for this gov
eminent to act vigorously and mer-
cilessly, in the stamping out OF TINS
anarchistic movement. Its aim is the
overthrow of majority rule. Its pur-
pose is 10 achieve its ends by murder
not by converting its small minority
into a majority at the ballot box.
Not long ago, Vice President Mar
shall in an address before the Ma
tional Press club said: America Is
not an anarchistic cafe nor an inter-
national boarding house."
But members Of the present admin
istration have not, as a rule. taken
that view Secretary of Labor Will
son, who investigated the deporta-
tons from Bisbee, vigorously con-
demned the course pursued by the
citizens of the Warren district. He
also took occasion to criticize the
mining interests, that were menaced
to the point of ruin by the l. w. w.
because they refused to take back the
deported men into their employment
Also, in order to find something tt
complain of, Secretary Wilson con-
demned the mining companies fol-
seeing to it that their employees had
the best housings, the best schools ant
the best wages in the world. In hi
estimation it sayored too much OF
feudalism. Too much was being done
for the employees by the companies
and too little was being left for the
employees to do for themselves.
OF course, if the companies had
done less the secretary would have
been even severer in his criticisms.
We have in this country free dis.
cussion and free ballot. and the
choice is with the majority as to how
we shall be governed That is the on
~ pidStlC"i way ~ 0e''ie ''i'S
But that is not the way the anarchists
want to settle questions. They have
no hopes of ever becoming a majority
therefore, by violence and murder
they want to terrorize the majority
into accepting their loathsome views
The time has come for the majority
to act in its own defense, and to aci
with vigor Nothing can be gained by
temporizing or by being sentimental
The remedy will be found in Ions
prison terms, in deportations and il
the gallows. when murder has beer
committed.
