WHY SHOULD THIS BE?'

The people bought the water plant
in the expectation that they would
get cheaper water-particularly for
watering gardens about the house.
Without impairing his profits, Mr.
McMillen found a way to let the peo-
pie have water for gardens at fifteen
cents a thousand gallons. The city
manager has recommended, and the
commissioners have taken it under
Amusement, that the price be set at
twenty cents. In about two weeks
q decision will be rendered,
Those of us who are going to put
in gardens must make preparations
now. Also very few of us will pay
twenty cents-twenty-fi per cent
more than was charged under private
ownership.
If any real reason exists for making
the figure twenty per cent the COM
mission would do well to take the
public into its confidence. The peo-
pie of Albuquerque are quite reason
able, also forebearing Of criticism.
But they like to be shown.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
OUR NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
BY JOSIAH T. REED.

He probably felt that he was lord of
all creation. Yet was Adam free?
Ask Eve.
/ am not myself married man.
This regret and will remedy if can.
But / find a singular uHanimity
among married men on this: Matri-
mony involves a distinct loss of SOW
ereignty and in general married men
agree on this also, that the gains are
greater than the losses.
We must get the idea that loss Of
sovereignty is not an insuperable OBJ
lection to anything. 1t is the neces-
sary price we pay for association, for
partnership And just as there could
not be much of marriage If each
party insisted on absolute sovereignty
so there cannot be League of Ma
tons unless we make UP our minds
in advance that we must not expect
always to have our own way. We
must weigh the advantages against
the disadvantages.
If the league is really likely to full
fill its avowed purposes--to promote
international corporation and to Sc
cure international. peace--we can af-
ford to lose a little national sover-
eighty 1t was. Germany's insistence
on national sovereignty which brought
on this great war.
And just as when man gets mar
ried, he does not lose his sovereignty
to his wife nor she hers to her hus-
band, but each party gives in little
for the sake Of the home; so the
League of Nations will not ask the
several countries to sacrifice sover-
eighty to each other. but all will alike
sacrifice for the general good Of the
world. 81 al Il ukSS Is

sounds the big note in the interest of
these colored children.
ITO ignore our children Is to be
indifferent to the progress and best
interests of our race. Any scheme
of racial betterment which does not
take children into consideration Is
bound to fail.
Persons who are interested in
racial solidarity will surely fail in
their endeavors unless they see to it
that the negro boys and girls of to-
day think differently from the negro
youths of other generations. Human
beings are what their thoughts make
them.
Our children must be made to
realize that as members of the great
dark skinned family known as the
negro race they have duties to per-
form. They must be made to under
stand that they can best serve them
| selves by proudly and fundamentally
serving their race"
The tread of the time is certainly
indicative of betterment all along the
line, especially in the direction Of the
colored people.
Neither white nor black men have
yet forgotten the thrill of the home
coming colored troops, whose feats of
fighting must prove a big incentive
to the eolored children who will be
told the history of these black hell
fighters. They will be inspired with
the one big lesson that has been
learned in this connection--that, CIV

THE FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN.

One month from today the Fifth
Liberty loan will be launched. -Four
Liberty loans have gone over the top
They were carried over with compare
tive ease when our boys were "over
there" and all felt the necessity for
sustaining the war. We would with
hold nothing in support Of the SOL
diers.
But now that the war is over and
victory finds many of us with re-
sources depleted. we begin to wonder
about the, Fifth Liberty loan. With

from today. and II seems well now
that we give moments consideration
to it; that we groom ourselves, as 1t
were, to meet 1t.
How shall we meet it? With all
the hazardous promotion schemes of
various serts which have lately been
shown up, 1t would seem as if the
Fifth Liberty loan might appeal to
conservative persons who are looking
for sane and safe Investment.
But with the higher rate that will
be offered and the short time of the
certificates, it may be that even this
will not overcome certain depletion
which people feel, now that the driv-
ing force of war has spent ieself
If this be so, then We have to APP
peal to the honor and loyalty of our
people-to the same idealism that
drove us into the war We must fin
ish the work that We have begun,
The people will not fail; they never
have failed in any great need of our
national life, r
A people that engages in a war
three thousand miles away, gathers
an army in six months, establishes
camps and equlps them, surely will
not fail with the last Liberty loan.
1t would be a poor expression of
our gratitude to the fathers and
mothers who sent two million sons
into the bloody pit of war, if we
failed them at this juncture.
- AS Secretary Glass recently said:
THE next Liberty loan will be a
Thanksgiving loan as well as a Vic
tory loan. The honor of the govern
ment is involved. and you being the
government it is your honor which is
involved The American people must
supplement the patriotism of the war
by the patriotism of peace"
Here we have it. The patriotism
of war Is so dramatic, SO intense, so
commanding, that We have come to
identify patriotism with war

as commanding and heroic as that of
war 1t is shown by the mother who
gives the son dearer to her than life
itself to her country. 1t is shown by

The patriotism Of peace--this is
the patriotism that challenges us to-
day. This patriotism will put over

The big thing is to give him the
opportunity and the chance he seeks
to make good.
In order to make himself fit to
play his part well. the fine effort be-
ing made in the direction of the col
ored boys aud girls is surely to be
commended. That this new effort is
wisely directed in the interest of prop
er education and practical lessons is
voiced in the first page letter to the
boys and girls
Dear Boys and Girls: Do you real
ize that you are to be the future men
and women of our race, and that what
we older folk are doing now to i'm
prove conditions are to uplife our
race you will be called on five, ten
twenty years hence to do. but in a
more Intelligent, effective and practi-
cal manner, because you will have had
a larger training and opportunity for
mental development than many of
us who are now trying to show you
the great need and value of education
have had?
Cultivate your minds, read, think
and make up your minds to be
somebody in the world and remem-
Der that he can who thinks he can,
and you can rise to any height to
which your ambition scars If you will
read and study good books and pom

sons which these books teach.

except love is education Of the right
sort, and by the right sort l mean
education that broadens the mind
develops the intellect and the reason
ing powers, and makes you see with
clear vision and think sanely and ra-

Each one of you possesses some
innate power, some particular talent
or gift for doing some particular
thing better than some other boy or
girl"
Nothing need be added to this en-
deavor toward reconstruction. except

AS TO TAFT.

A reader of the Journal sends the
following communication: d.
Il notice that in recent editorial
utterances you have endeavored tc
show that former President Taft is
opposed to the Monroe Doctrine, and
cite as proof several of the treaties
that he submitted during his term of
office.
ut seems to me that this is a rather
poor way to show his attitude, espe-
cially when he has many times stated
that he was heartily in favor of this
doctrine. Every man has different
ideas about some things, and | see
no reason that because his treaties
differed slightly from those of his
predecessors that he should thus be
construed to say that he opposes
something he has in fact always up
held.
Your attitude towards the pro-
posed League of Nations can be
strengthened by better means than
this. There are plenty Of men of ma
tional importance who are opposed to
the doctrine as well as the league
Why not use them instead of attempt
ing to distort the real attitude OF one
whose attitude is just the contrary
from what YOU make it seem?
IF you will read Mr.. Taft's address
in New York City on the 4th of this
month you can see what his attitude
really is He said in part

would favor a recognition of the Mon.

that of the present league. and that
European nations should not inter-
vene unless requested to do so by the
request of the American nations
ut is unfair to Mr.. Taft and t6
your readers to make such assertions
as you have towards his attitude tc
the Monroe Doctrine"
Yes, Mr.. Taft made the statement
quoted in the communication. Bu'
he also made the following explicit
declaration against the Monroe Doc
trine, just as it is matter of recorc
that he sent the six treaties witt
arbitration clauses from which hat
been stricken the reservation of ques
tons of national honor and the Mon
roe Doctrine:
Those who would seek to enforce
a Monroe Doctrine which makes thu

BUILD ROADS WISELY.

Within the next three years nine
million dollars will be spent on the
public roads of New Mexico. because
it is now certain that this state will
match the federal fund of four and a
half million dollars with an equal
sum.
There is no difference of opinion
as to the geed Of the roads. But
whether the expenditure of this vast
sum is to be blessing or a curse
to the state depends.upon how it will
be spent.
There will be two items of grave
concern to the taxpayers: Interest on
an Indebtedness of four and a half
million dollars will be a considerable
annual charge; and there will be the
upkeep of the roads if they are to be
of permanent benefit to the state.
Nine million dollars is large sum
to be distributed IF it is wisely spent
and the roads so constructed that
there will be a minimum of cost for
upkeep, the outlay will be a blessing
If the money is wasted in providing
political jobs and the results are not
worth the outlay. 1T will sound the
death knell of the republican party in
New Mexico
The best possible road engineering
force should be found, and the hunt
ing for the personnel of such force
should not be confined within the
limits of the state. 1t is results we
want, and not political jobs. Manag-
ing the whole work there should be

A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.

Mr.. Field requests the Journal to
say that by typographical error in the
publication yesterday morning of his
letter to DR.. Boyd he is made to say
that in his opinion the. objections to
the constitution of the League of Ma
tons are "hypocritical." while the
word actually used was "hypercru-
CAL" The words are quite different
in meaning.
Mr. Field does not question the
good faith of the DIRECTORS and would
be much chagrined Il the impression

The first stock objection to the
League of Nations is that it will inter-
fere with out national sovereignty.
Well, it will interfere. And let us
grant that this is a fair objection.
The answer is that It will be worth it..
There is no kind of an alliance or
partnership that is not to some ex-
tent a compromise, that does not in
terfere with sovereignty, When two
men go into business together, each
yields a little. but they wouldn't make
the agreement if they didn't expect
it to pay. ...
When you come right down to It,
! exercising sovereignty Is about the
same thing as having your own way
II you don't put it into a high-sound-
| ing phrase. you can see that it isn't
such a noble thing after all. Is there
any particularly good reason why we
should always want to have our own
way? As individuals. we all give in
more or less to other people, for the
sake of the genera! peace. There's
no great misfortune about It. It's the
| price we pay for living in a commu-
nifty. If our neighbours daughter sings
abominably now and then, we don't
call the police. We reflect that we

What Is The Cause of Headache?
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache Is perhaps the most
common ailment from which
women suffer. Rarely do you
find anybody free from it..
Sometimes the cause is obscure,
but DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
q high medical authority says
the cause is very often a form
of catarrh that settles in the
delicate membranes Of the femi-
nine organs. When these organs
are inhamed, the FIRST symptom
may be backache, or headache,
dizziness, accompanied by bear
ing-down sensations, weakness,
irregularity, painful periods, irri-
tation and a general rundown
condition. ANY woman in this
condition is to be pitied, but
pity does not cure. The trouble
calls for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is a separate
and distinct medicine for women.
1t is made of roots and herbs
put up without alcohol or opiate
of any kind, for DR.. Pierce uses
nothing injurious in his prescrip-
ton. Favorite Prescription is a
