CUMMINGS A CONVERT.

When the facetious chairman of the
democratic national committee was
before q congressional committee,
asserting that he would roast the re-
publican party through his publicity
department, one of the committee
asked Cummings how long he had
been democrat. Thereupon the
Yankee chairman admitted that he
was not one OF the number who could
boast that he had always voted the
democratic ticket. He said that only
since the Bryan free silver campaign
had he been standing by the party. He
did not enlighten the committee as
to the reason for the change.
L'he versatile chairman did not tell
New Mexico democrats assembled in
Albuquerque to listen to his cheerful
party pfophesies, that he had not
always been properly dyed. The con-
fession will not add much to the pop
ularity of the gentleman among the
democrats of the south. who consti-
tute the bulk of the party. though

been placed In the hands of the con-
vert living in Connecticut. the state

The Women's Betterment League
of Delhi has taken up the task of

Mayor Walker and urged him to look
after that muddy place. but. accord

to the councilmen and they passed
it on to various others. until it finally
reached H. Percival Hamilton, the
keeper of the city dump. Mr.. Ham

up the hole, but as he had no one to

OUR SOCIAL INVENTIONS.


THE true epic of our times is NOT
arms and the man, but tools and the
man am indefinitely wider kind OF
epic," said Thomas Carlisle.
There is no question that invention
has Mayed a vastly important par' IN
rrogress. Each mechanical device Is
generally credited to one man as aus
ORIGINATOR. but more often it is soclai
uroduct arrived at by groups OF men
experimenting upon q common prop
lem, The inventor simply represents
society's concentrated skill.
Rut it is a common mistake to think
NJ tools and mechanical devices as the
only inventions of vast Importance
There are also social inventions Whleh
have done far more for the human
race than have mechanics.
The Hebrew prophets. for example
invented the idea of worship without
sacrifice, while later the christian
church invented the Benedictine rule
OF poverty, chastity and obedience
which shaped civilization for tlVe
centuries.
John Howard was the inventor oil
prison reform. and somebody invented
the hospital for insane. To Rooer'
Raikes, moro than century ago We
are indebted for the invention of th'
sunday school. These things came al
necessities for the Improvement O
human society. as did the inventor
of the ballot in elections, of the iur.
system in trials at law.
Mans greatest ingenuity IS shown
as in institution-nla The home
the school, the press, the church. thu
market, the state, the city, are simpl.
inventions made by groups of mei
working together under the spur o
necessity.
Tools or social inventions are no
necessarily all good. There Is Away
the danger that inventors will bree'
worship of the thing invented, while
the man behind the machine anc
within it is forgotten. We frequent!
attach too much Importance to tn
invention,
For example, man was not mad
for the Sabbath. but the Sabbath TO

Machinery making for machinery
sake is Just as perilous as art for art

are used. and whether in the end the.
are made to minister to human happi
ness and welfare.
Man is the social builder benin,

reason for alarm over the reconstruc

OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW
AIEXICANS.

The Spanish speaking people Of
New Mexico have a great opportunity
If they will only get the necessary
training educationally and otherwise
to fit them for the opportunity.
The Journal carried the story the
other day of the appointment of
Frank r. Harris, formerly cashier of
the First National Bank of this city,
TO q position of great responsibility
in one of the Latin-American branch
banks of the National City Bank of
New York. The position came to Mr..
Harris because he has q splendid
knowledge of the Spanish language
plus a good knowledge of the banking
business, plus reliability and integrity.
Not many men in New Mexico get as
large salaries as that paid Mr.. Harris
at the start, and he has almost limit
less opportunity for promotion.
Boaz Long. Of Las Vegas. has been
named minister of the United States
goes to Havana from another posi-
ton that paid $4,000. Long got his
opportunity because he knew the
Spanish language, plus a general
education and good reputation.
The general education and the good
reputation are just as necessary as
knowledge of the Spanish language.
Gilbert Cosulich, who worked in
this city on The Journal and after
wards on the Herald was a splendidly
educated young man Of high prin-
ciples. He spoke the Spanish Ian
guage fluently. He has been assigned
to one of the best positions under the
Associated Press. He has been sent
to South America.

employed in the State National Bank,
