ter Amendments.

Attorney Harry Shaw in his new
role Of tribune Of the people was the
principal attraction of meeting held
in the Circuit court room at the court
house last night. The meeting was
attended by a crowd that about half
filled the court room and it was called
to order by 4. B. Carskadon Of the
East Side. D. H. Morgan, also Of the
East Side, vas elected chairman and
aside from a prayer made by Rev. j.
70. Broomfield, the only speaker was
Mr.. Shaw. This gave the meeting
rather an East Side cast. Mr.. Shaw
paid his respects to pretty nearly ev-
erything about the charter amend,
ments and tlen sprang a serier of
personally prepared resolutions which
said some more things. The meeting
also adopted a motion empowering
the chairman to appoint commit.

charter movement.

Ludendorf and Townley
New York Times)


The German people and their lead
ers, as was to be expected, are call
ing heaven to witness that the peace
terms are the utmost in brutality and
injustice. Not all of them are so
ingenious as General Ludehdorf, who
blurts out that they had expected
America to let them off easy; but il
is clear enough that their outcries
represent a deep and sincere feeling
that anything uncomfortable to Ger
mands is eternally unrighteous. All
this, of course, is truly German. Nor
was it to be expected that the terms
would suit Mr.. Townley's non-parti-
san league, the attitude of whose
principal leaders during the war pre-
pares us for the assertion Of its
official press that the treaty is "a
CHASTITY mockery Of democracy"
1t would have been easy enough to
write a treaty which would have
suited General Ludendorf and Mr..
Townley and the rest; but may be
doubted if such surrender would
have brought safety from Germany,
while it is certain that would have
abandoned justice and betrayed the
nations which fought for justice.

Are They Changed?
Trio Grande Republicl

When Foch had the German armies
all fight out of them within week,
the civilian authorities Of America
and Europe stepped in and saved the
German armies from destruction on
the grounds that we were fighting the
military caste, headed by the kaiser.
and not the dear deluded people of
Germany. Ii turns out that our
civilian authorities were the deluded
ones, not the "dear ones of Germany"
IL was more German deceit worked
10 the --th degree.
So far from being ashamed Of their
military government, or of the fright
full acts of cruelty and oppression
done in their name, they seem to
gloat over their past and worship at
the shrine of Wilhelm and his coterie
OF baby killers. The supreme point
Of this conceit and self-worship is
reached when they counter with a
claim for over twelve billion marks
for damages caused by the blockade.
We wouldn't be surprised, when the
full text of the German reply is pub
lished, to find claims against Belgium
for manages to the German armies at
the siege of Liege.
In 1915 the civilian" manufactur-
ers and bankers of Germany sent to
the government their idea of what
would be n just peace. "All of the
coal and iron fields Of Northern
France, the French northern ports, all
Of Belgium, India, Egypt, and in adj
dition all of Germany's war expenses.
plus a sum that would make il I'M
necessary for the German govern
ment to levy taxes on the chosen
people of God. This was done by
the same men who are now claiming
mercy and disgracing themselves and
the German name (if. such a thing Is
possible) by appeals to the allies and
neutrals alike.
If the matter could be taken back
to the status of November 18th there
would be no peace except when the
German armies were everlastiagly
whipped and wiped out of existence.
Ii is not the first time when civilian
interference at the wrong moment
has destroyed what men have died to
bring about. President Wilson and
his advisors (probably the unknown
Colonel House) acted with the best of

Deming's treatment of the opportu-
nifty afforded by the made-to order
community house that the War Camp
Community Service is trying to hand
us on q silver platter, figuratively,
will be looked upon by the whole
Southwest as a test Of the Deming
spirit. Deming spirit was a live and
tangible force in the days before the
war. But there are those who would
have us believe that II is altogether
a thing of the departed past. This is
a chance-a most timely chance-to
"show" these parties.

That Two-cent Tax on Gasoline

Every time you buy gasoline now
you have to pay n tax Of two cents
per gallon. Now don't get the idea
into your head that the Democratic
administration at Washington is to
blame for that. II is a pure home
made tax-"Made in New Mexico"
by the last legislature, Republican
organization that operated at Santa
Re last winter for a month or so
under the management Of Governor
Larrazolo. The purpose Of this tax
was not to provide better article Of
gasoline with which to run your auto
mobile or gasoline engine on your
farm, but to provide a soft job for
Republican inspectors at $500 a
year.

FL Paso, June IA shortage Of
labor to harvest the record wheat crop
in the. dry farming territory around
Roy. N. NJ, north of Tucumcari, is
presenting a new problem TO the far
mers in that vicinity, according to
r. S. Trumbull, agricultural agent for
the FL Paso & Southwestern railroad,
who returned recently from a trip
through that section of the country.
A meeting of farmers will be held at
Roy Saturday night for the purpose
Of discussing means of obtaining the
labor necessary to harvest their crop.
Mr.. Trumbull intends to attend.
There is about 10000 acres Of
wheat to be harvested in this terri
tory and the prospects are the best
they have ever been, according to Mr..
Trumbull. The farmers are predicting
a yield Of % bushels TO the acre.
Although the average yearly rain
fall in that region is only 16 to IS
inches, more than the usual amount
of moisture has fallen the last few
months, which accounts for the
bright outlook this season. The
ground is in good condition at pres
ent, Mr.. Trumbull said, and there is
enough moisture in the ground now
to insure a big crop. The wheat will
be ready to harvest about July LIST.

only 80 feet deep, but dirt and stones
taken from the shaft give off an odor

There could be no better evidence
of the universal desire Of the people
to pay tribute to the brave boys who
were called into service in the great
war than has been manifest by the
large number Of people who have
stopped from day to day at the win
dow, arranged by l.. r. Whitemore, in
Gold avenue store, to look at the
fine collection of photographs Of the
Luna county soldiers. Everyone
seemed to be glad Of this opportunity
to make themselves acquainted with
with the appearance of our boys in
uniform. Mr.. Whitemore deserves the
thanks Of the community for the OPP
portunity thus given.
