LODGES TRIBUTE
NOT TO w. w,

Here's a bit of biography
that is of peculiar interest in
these days of the attempted
dominancy of Messrs. Lodge,
Knox, ct al:
"When the war drew to a
close, it was he who began
alone the task of making
peace. He had nearly COM
pleted the work when his COL
leagues appeared in Paris, and
by incautious words broke the
web so carefully spun. y *
Finally, boldly disregarding
the /. instructions of Congress,
he emerged from all complica-
tions with a triumphant
peace"
Is this a tribute to Woodrow
Wilson? Looks like it, doesn't
it? Well, it isn't! 1t is a
portion of a eulogy delivered
by Senator Lodge to the men,
ory of Benjamin Franklin for
the part that the noble old
patriot played in winding up
the Revolutionary War. There
are those who are so keenly
appreciative of humor as to
consider this a pretty good,
though altogether unconscious
joke played by Senator Lodge
upon himself and his fault
finding colleagues.-San Fran
cisco Bulletin.

COST Of \. N.
STATE GOVERNMENT

The total cost of govern.
ment in New Mexico cannot be
given accurately, says the Tax
Review, because of the lack OF
any central supervision Of the
finances of Incorporated cities
and. towns. It is estimated
conservatively that 100000 is
the total amount of payments
for city government, $5,000,-
900 for county government
and $3,000,000 for state gov
ernment, making the total cost
of government approximately
$8,500,000 of which $6,750,-
900 was paid from taxes and
the remainder $1,750,OOO from
sales of bonds, income from
state and institutional lands,
federal aid, licenses, permits,
interest on deposits, fees and
miscellaneous sources.
The payments through state
departments, boards and in
stitutions amounted in the
sixth fiscal year ending No
vember 80, 1918, to $685.
518.S5 distributed as follows:
l. General Government,
S292,916.10.
2. Protection to person and
property, including regulation
of. business, $318,865.46.
3. Development and con-
servation of natural resources,
S169,974.76.
a. Conservation of health
and sanitation, none.
5. Highways, $547,O71.57.
6. Charities, hospitals, cor
rections, $374,321.6S.
7. Education, S910,578.46.
8. Recreations, none.
8. Miscellaneous, $10,878.-
CT.
10. Interest on redemption
of state debt S215, ,O46.97.
II. Trust Funds, $780,
029.00.
12. Agency transactions,
$698,836.18.
Total, S3,988,518.85.
Payments to trust funds and
on account of agency transac-
tions should be deducted from
the total payments in estimat-
ing the cost of government. In
the agency transactions are in
cluded the appointments of
the current school funds. By
deducting these two items, we
arrive at the estimate of ap-
proximately $3,000,000 as the
cost of state government.
Similarly from the total pay
ments made through counties,
there is deducted the pay
ments to the state and to NUM-
cipalities leaving something
over $5,O0O,000 as the total
payments through county ag-
encies. Thus, with the esti-
mate of S500,000 as the aggre-
gate payments by city govern
ments, it is estimated that the
total cost of government in
New Mexico is about $780,
900.

ADOPT AN ORPHAN

One of the most appealing
of the after-the-war cam
paigns will be launched this
month, asking for foster par
ents for 10000 little war Or
phans of France. Mrs. Wal
ter S. Brewster, wife of the
Roumanian Consul to Chicago,
Chairman of the Chicago. Com
mittee and Vice-President of
the National Committee of The
Fatherless Children of France,
has charge of the promotion
/ of this campaign.
Mrs Brewster has just re-
turned from a tour of investi-
cation through the devastated
regions of France.
The highest French officials
provided her with military es-
cort and bestowed upon her
every courtesy during her visit
to the war zone. She lived
with the appalling conditions
of these children and their
mothers - she knows that
thousands of children "over
there" are undernourished,
starving, and succumbing to
sickness.
''In all the northern coun.
try" says Mrs. Brewster
"there is no village untouched
and scarcely a house with a
roof. There is not a bridge
that has not been dynamited
a factory that has not beer
ruined. The tales that are
told of the boche invasion are

branches of his administration
were conspicuously successful.
The News-Herald does not
defend the president, neither
would it adopt the Journals

"insulted millions of voters" in

AS to the talk of sacrificing
the Monroe Doctrine, etc., that

merely the Journals interpre-

accurate to say it is the inter-

The decorations were on a
grander scale than is usual in
weddings-in place of a floral
arch was the vast dome of the
sky, while myriads of stars
shed their lustre upon the cere-
mony.
1t happened in this wise be-
cause party of friends were
in pursuit of the bridal pair
with intent to make it interest

witted them. He slipped the
preacher out and the bridal
party hied away to a country
lane, where the ceremony was
performed, and the would-be
fun-makers searched for them
in vain.
