In the United States the anarchists,
whose Vaccinations were largely re-
sponsible for the strikes on the Pa
cific coast and In Montana and Ari-
zona, sustained hard blow from the
government. II developed that the
agents OF the bureau OF immigration
had been gathering up a lot of the
most undesirable aliens and was pre-
pared TO deport them. awaiting only
the necessary shipping. A big bunch
OF these scamps were taken, under
guard. to New York. where lawyers in
sympathy with their doctrines under
took 10 obtain their release under
writs OF habeas corpus. The anarch-
lists make war on organized labor as
much as on capitalism. and the par
liamentary committee OF the British
trades union congress has declared
that the unauthorized strikes which
they cause cannot be tolerated. Down
on the Argentine-Chile border the dis
turbers have caused so much trouble
that those two countries are preparing
TO take joint action against them.
They are fast becoming the Ishmaels
OF the entire world. but they seem TO
glory in having the hands OF all decent
folk against them.

China and japan, relating to the dis

japan is trying TO obtain for herself.

the desires Of the Chinese and the

The prospects Of the proposed meet

from the allied nations at Prinkipo
are growing better. Seven of the gov
ernments In Russia, including the Es-
thonians. Let's and Lithuanians, are
willing to participate. though the first

set up Independent republics and are
no longer parts Of Russia. The admis-

their operations in many regions, with
varying success. In the Archangel Sec

The best thing about the good roads
movement now is that it is a move
ment of materials toward the roads
to be improved and not exclusively a
movement of devoted and public
spirited jaws. as it has ben for 10 or
Is years. More highways are definite
projects or under actual construction
at this time than ever before in the
road building history of this country.
The returned soldiers from France
are telling us stay at homes what
good roads mean. The young Yanks
in the A. Z. F. came in contact with
roads that had been kept good for
centuries. They know what would
have happened in the movement of
troops, supplies. etc, had it not been
for the excellent French highways.
Highways are meant to travel over
They will insist that our roads must
meet this reasonable test. All inn
provements have to go through their
talking stage" That is characteristic
of any democracy. But our public is
about to issue an order for a real
system of good roads. These conf
dent statements are borne out by the
fact that a number of states have
adopted road building programs and
provided for the money. This is not

STATE SHOULD CONTROL.

If the state lands leased to oil pros
pectors yield millions in royalties to
New Mexico, will the men who OPP
pose having the federal domain ceded
to the state. still argue that it would
have been better for the government
to have retained the property?
In the last few months more than
100000 has been paid in by oil pros
pectors alone for the holding of tracts
for exploration, much of which sum
has come from without the state Dis
covery Of oil my make many men rich,
and double the value of New Mexico
property, Royalties may possibly be
sufficient to make levy of taxes un-
necessary.
Wyoming receives a large sum in
royalties and is counting on a million
per year within the next five years, at
the present selling price of oil.
Rentals from grazing lands, and
proceeds of sales, that cause taxes to
come in are of great help in support
ing the New Mexico schools and other
institutions, for which congress gave
land to the state.
All the desirable homestead lands
having been taken. the plea for re-
tention of the public domain for allot-
ment to occasional homeseekers, is
old stuff. The other objection is that
some political party, officials. or

administering lands.

The interview between the senate
foreign relations committee and the
president at the White House was dis
appointing, in the fact that President
Wilson communicated no facts for the
guidance of the senate, He merely
expressed opinions The facts, he SAID,
were left in Paris.
The presidents opinion is that the
United states, in entering the league
of nations, would assume no legal
obligations and that we shall be
obligated to nothing, except by our
own public opinion.
Wars are made. or not made, in
this country, in response TO public
opinion 1t controlled when we went
into Cuba. just as it, controlled when
we went to war with Germany, 1t

have a league, other nations will have

should not 60 to war, and they Will

European opinion, regardless of what
our opinions may be.
For example, when we engaged in
war against Spain. the opinion of

us, and Russia ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The president has no objection to

should be no reservations. That. he
says, might cause the league to fail
entirely, and such failure, he assured
us in his address to congress. would
break the heart of the world"
When asked as to how the Ameri-
can delegation voted on the Shantung
provision, the president declined to
state, just as he declined to pass judy

The contention of the president and
particularly of his spokesman in the
senate, Hitchcock, of Nebraska, that
Germany never would consent TO
amendments--it was reported from
Washington that the president had
facetiuusly suggested that Lodge and
Knox undertake the task of reconcil-
ing Germany to any amendments
was easily punetnred by Senator Fall
who observed that as Germany was

amendments would not be submitted

me. No, she would not"

opinions before. and he merely
reiterated them.

1t would be interesting to learn from
the suppressed notes of commissions

influences were exerted to save the

dren are properly clothed, properly
nourished, and that their physical and
mental ailments are cured as far as
it is possible for science to remedy
them.
But for this work there is an APP
preparation of only six thousand dol
lars available. and If the plants to be
carried forward with any degree of
success private funds must measur-
ably supplement the meager funds of
the state.
This work in other states has been
shown to produce incalculable benefits
which make for better citizenship in
the generations to come. There is no
state in the union where this work is
more needed than in New Mexico or
where the people respond to it more
enthusiastically.
But there must be money with
which to pay the necessary expenses.

strict accountability and publicity
would be easily exercised.
To say that the state could not and
would not handle the domain in a
wise and beneficial manner, is TO say
that the people are not fit for state
government and congress should not
have granted statehood
The desire of the people of the
western states to control the public
domain and make it contributory to
support of local government and pub
lie welfare. has been expressed
through the assembled governors at
salt Lake City. under a call from Gov
ernor Larrazolo. of New Mexico The
movement is devoid of any partisan
political purpose and is being actively
assisted by leaders of material inter-
ests of all sorts.
Various sessions OF congress have
been held since land grants were made
to New Mexico for specific purposes,
and no serious criticism has been made
from any source charging abuse OF
the trust.
There have been no sensational dis
closures or charges of corruption in
administering the lands and the gem
eral policy has brought good financial
results sooner than was hoped for
when the lands were coded. Admin
istration has alternately been under
land boards of different political
heads, and there would be no lack of
criticism and condemnation had the
lands been squandered or turned over
to favorites and grafters.
There are some persons who do not
admit that New Mexico should handle
the twenty millions of acres not in
forest, Indian or other reservations.
Such doubters were probably against
statehood, ineredulous of the honesty
and ability of the people and those
among them who are chosen to man
age affairs for the benefit of all. The
opponents of state control of the pub
lie domain retain their old idea of the
superiority of the federal administra-
ton in Washington or in men picked
up from divers states and trans
planted to posts in public domain
