THE GRAPE HANGERS.

Prophets of gloom are still present,
though their doleful predictions as
to the outcome of the war were falsi-
fled. Their favorite brand of despair
just now is as to what the demobilized
soldiers are going to do, and as to the
general spread of Bolshevism and la
Dor unrest. There are people who
dread the outcome when 1000, 600
men are suddenly turned loose. They
think many of them will acquire wan
dering and vagrant habits.
The older people who lived through
the civil war recall that precisely the
same predictions regarding the SOL
diers were made at that period Yet
in short time most of these men had
gone to work again.
Very few of them ever became
tramps. No one has ever claimed
they developed wandering and change
able men of the rolling stone" type,
any more than any other class of
people.
AS far as social and labor unrest
goes, students of history will recall
that century ago when the Napo-
leonic wars closed, Europe was in a
state of turmoil and disorganization
greater than the present. Armies
were wandering over Europe, plunder-
ing and struggling and violent men
were defying all authority. Those
were lawless old days and there was
every reason to fear a long period of
chaos
Yet in a few years it all settled
down. The nations took up orderly
living again, There is u lot of sound
sense in average human nature that
rights and stabilzes itself.
The mass of the people like set
tied conditions They prefer the bird
in the hand to the two in the bush.
They want a clear definite hope of
betterment before giving UP tried in
stitutions. 1t will work again as it
did in the past. There will be many
changes, but many changes are need
ed. But the progress will be slow
and orderly, and it will not cut loose
from past human experience.

REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT

The new charter is a step back TO-
ward representative government, 1t
is not a return to the aldermanic form
of government. But, suppose 1t were
There is not a prosperous city IN
the United States that did not pe-
come so under the aldermanic form.
ANY city that has prospered under the
commissioner manager form was pros
pering under the aldermanic form be-
fore it adopted the commission form.
Denver tried the commission form
and returned to the aldermanic form
Our evening contemporary is all
"het" up over the wickedness OF poll
tics in representative city government
the aldermanic form. But our great
nation is governed by politics; so is
every state in the union and so are
nine-tenths of all the citles-lnclud-
ing every big city, except Milwaukee,
and it elects a pro-German socialist
for it's bipartisan mayor.
The chief advocates of the defeat OF
the proposed charter therefore ad-
yocates of the present charter are
the socialists, w P. Metcalf and
Henry Westerfeld. 1t was Wester-
field as mayor who appointed the
commission to draft the present
charter. He instructed his commits
sion to allow no man in Albuquerque
outside of the commission, to see the
charter before he had called an cleo
ton and therefore prohibited the
possibility of changing a line of it.
Practically every advocate of the
adoption of the present charter rec
ognized it's glaring defects. and got
votes for it by promising that it should
be promptly amended, But since its
adoption every proposition to amend
il has been fought by the same men
who are now fighting the adoption of
the new charter which corrects the
defects of the old
The men now opposing the addition
of two members do so because they
want the control of this city to re-
main until 1922 in the hands of the
three men who are now city commits
sioners. They do not want either
union labor or the small taxpayer
represented.
IT is to be a government of big
business only, unless a majority of

THE PROGRESSIVE TOWN.

1t is very interesting question why
some towns are known far and wide
as progressive communities And
others equally well situated either
have no such reputation at all, or
else are known as dead and stagnant
places ...e
Some people will say that a repu-
tation for progressiveness is attained
principally by the towns that have
the most money to spend, a town
with a lot of wealth or well to do
people, they argue. will naturally put
up handsome school buildings, and
ohtre public edifices. Also it will
have modern business blocks.
While progressiveness is not prin-
cipally dependent on money-spending,
a center of fine looking business
buildings is a splendid advertisement.
When you see handsomely built brick
and stone, erected with architectural
taste, it suggests solid foundations
and substantial growth. 1t gives the
impression that the town is prosper
Gus, that it's business men believe in
its future and are willing to bank
on it,
Many cautious business men are too
slow to see the value of this class of
improvements. IF | give the public
good values, they are going to come to
my store" they argue. "eyen if it is
located in a mean looking structure.
What they want is good goods. not a
handsome place to show the goods
in"
Very true to a limited extent Yet
with human nature as it is, the ma
jority of strangers who come through
a town having old and seedy looking
buildings will condemn the place off
hand without stopping to investigate
the quality of its store service. Peo-
pie living half way between such a
place and one with a bright and at
tractive business center will be ten
times as likely to visit the one having
the modern and finished appearance.

CONCLUSION.

I come now to my final paper upon
the present covenant. | have passed
over entirely some matters of i'm
portance, for instance the question
of mandatories. Article XIX is one
of the most splendid of the covenant;
but since we are in no way obliged
to accept a mandatory. the question
may be postponed until we find what
is expected of us. l presume we shall
be asked to take one, perhaps several.
But If we have an obligation to our
allies and to the world to take care of
some of the backward peoples of the
earth, this obligation is in no way
made greater by our joining the
league; nor could It be less by our
remaining out of 1t.
have tried to show what our def
mite obligations are under the COW
enant, and to make it clear that we
know in advance just what they are,
and can in no way be bound by the
subsequent actions of any, organ of
the league, so long as we keep our
agreements.
These agreements may not be
enough. Surely if they were less
binding, or less stringent; If the pen
alties were any less: the agreements
would fall below the irreducible mini
mum for safety. As it is, the league
may succeed. 1t depends primarily
upon the public opinion of the world,
and upon the progress of democracy.
1t depends in no small measure upon
the earnestness and honesty of pur-
pose OF two or three of the greatest
nations.
1t is splendid that there has been
such wide discussion. Without it the
peoples might have entered blindly
an agreement whose implications they
did not understand. and when the
test came have failed because they
We're unwilling to do the one thing
necessary to save the league.
1t has been said that IL the threat
OF force is sufficiently definite no ma
ton will dare defy it. 1t is hard to

NOT LACK OF MONEY.

But" the men who are opposing
the new charter say, I'VE want an eff
ficient city government"
Have we an efficient city govern
ment? If so. why are the streets not
in better condition?
They say: THE commissioners
have been Handicapped by lack of
funds due to the abolition of the sa-
looms
But the fact is that more money is
received from the water supply than
came from saloon licenses, after de-
ducting the expense Of operating the
water plant. The commissioners are
using more money for operating ex-
penses than was used by any alder
manic administration in the citys

of the standard return guaranteed
to the companies. 1t is not conceiv-
able that the results throughout the
year should continue to be so bad but
it is probable that if existing rates
should be~continued the deficit for the
year would he at least $500, 100000.
The standard returns guaranteed
10 the companies are based unon the
average net operating income earned
in the three years ending on June so,
1917. Therefore, to say that the rail-
ways are earning about one-half of
their guaranteed standard returns is
equivalent to saying that they are
earning only one-third as much net
operating income as they earned in
those three years.

A SPLENDID CHOICE.

The State Normal college at Silver
City is fortunate in securing w. o.
Hall, now of the Wisconsin State
Normal, as the new president to sue
ceed Dr.. Enloe, who retires on ac-
count of bad health, after making a
splendid record as a school builder.
The new president of the. Normal
was formerly superintendent of
schools at Roswell, where his ability
was recognized by every educator in
the state. 1t is doubtful if another
school man in the state is so well
trained for training teachers as is
Professor Hall. He has the rare
combination of scholarship in it's

pleasing personality which insures
popularity of the right sort.
Not only Silver City but the state
