thou hast not asked riches. wealth
or honor, nor the life of thine enc

life; but hast asked wisdom and
knowledge for myself, that thou
mayest judge my people, over whom
I have made thee king; wisdom and

"HELL SPRINGS FLOWING"

GOOD people OF Taos, the VICTORY
is not complete, De jure. we have
gone dry, but de facto. the hell
springs are still flowing. 1t is re-
ported that on Palm Sunday no less
than ten DRINKS were seen on the
plaza. The matter should be brought
to the attention of those whose duty
it is to enforce the law, and they
should he given to understand that
the people are with them in the strict
performance of their duty"
The Taos VALLEY News is right. The
people will sustain officials who sup
press the Illicit whiskey traffic. In
many counties heavy fines are being
imposed.

MAX NORDHAUS.
Albuquerque, April "a.

Editorial Note-Mr. Nordhaus' posi-
ton is correct. The attacks made
during the recent city fight were not
on local politicians, but on alleged po-
litical activities at Santa Fe.
The Journal, for the past six years,
has advocated keeping the city gov
eminent out of politics. and It has
used all the influence at its command
to prevent mixing the schools in pol
itics.
There is one thing, however, that
should be borne in mind: If the PEG
pie become indifferent to how their
city affairs are conducted. it will be
far worse in the long run than politi-
cal party control.

Mr.. NordhauS' Position
and Journals Agree

Editor Morning Journal:
| have read with interest your edi-
torial in Thursdays Journal entitled,
politicians and Bunk" Everyone
will agree with you that politicians
are necessary to the conduct of
government of political parties, and
| think that if all politicians were of
the standing and ability of those men
toned by you as leaders in state and
national politics. we would all agree
with you that resentment of political
interference in local affairs is bunk"
| Unfortunately for the point you seek
| to make, you cited as examples of
| politicians democrats and republicans
| prominent in state and national af-
| fairs who have won to their present
positions by strict integrity, honorable
methods and great ability. coupled
with the vision to see ahead to the
right course and the true objective
| in the public interest.
In my opinion opposition to tho
| injection of partisan politics into our
! local school and city government bust
ness and tha employment Of the ordi-
nary partisan machinery to control
those functions for a political object
or personal end, is not bunk" 1t
| is founded upon sincere conviction
on the part of the people that partisan
politics and partisan political man
agement has no place either in school
| or municipal functions and that it is
for the public welfare that they be
excluded.
It is my belief that if YOU could
obtain their opinions on this matter
each of the men mentioned in your
editorial, Politicians and Bunk, y
would unhesitatingly agree With the
view here expressed
Yours very truly,
