nations that professed its religion wero

appeared as the religion of the great

Religious Changes.
But before we consider these families
that held Europe in subjection we had
better givo thought to the religious dif-
iercnces that separated some of the ma
tions from each other. At the beginning
OF me 18th century we may say that the
whoie or western Europe was in COM
munion with the western church. There
was no nation not Christian. and only q
rev people among the Laps In the far
north unconverted. What how took
place was analogous to the division into
different forms that In earlier days had
taken place In the Latin. the Greek and
pire.
1t IL unnecessary to detail the reasons
FOR the disputes that led during the early
part of the 18th century to the import
ant religious separations and political
events. 1t Is only necessary to say that
the end Of all these disputes saw large
part OF western Europe gradually be-
come separated from Rome The Ro-
nance nations remained true to Rome,
while as general thing the Teutons
fell away. Yet England changed little,
Scotland. changed q great deal. while
Ireland remained as 1t had always been.
For long time men considered 1t to
be a crime to allow any kind of worship
except that I'm which they themselves
believed. Thus the Reformation-as Il
was caled-caussd in some countries
civil wars. and in others prosecutions
that troubled whole nations. 1t Is with
this understanding Of these general con-
ditlons that we may now approach the
events taking place in individual nations.

WYE are now about to consider
NJ period when In the discovery o.
new lands. In the establishment
Of colonies. in the general stirring OF
4 mems minds In material things and In
religious matters there was greater ad'
vance than ever before. Yet. Oddly
enough. for time political freedom
didn't advance but rather fell back.
It was a period when governments
grew stronger As laws now could be
better carried out than ever before there
was an Increase in tho number of houses
outside of walled cities. But one of the
things that made law easily enforced
was force 'nlmical to political liberty
standing armies.
Throughout Europe kings contrived to
get all power into their own hands, and
they waged wars for their own purposes.
To wage these wars in which the ma
lions as nations had very little interest.
kings had to keep standing armies. Now,
while these standing armies were very
unlike the mercenaries who. for in
-tance, served any prince in Italy who
could pay them. they were always paid.
always under arms, and were very DIFF
ferent from the citizen armies that were
eager to fight, and having accomplished
their purpose returned to their homes
again.
Old Ideas Passing.
Now, a standing army makes the gov
eminent that employs 1t far stronger
IL. ~ - IL
ing armies did good In that they stabi-
liked laws and made strong governments
that could enforce the laws. But they
were the means of overthrowing in al
most every nation those free institutions
of earlier times. 1t Is only recently that
the people have generally won these
back again.
The chief outward difference between
the times we are now considering and
those that went before them Is that the
old idea of the church and the empire
now passed away forever. The eastern

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

After trying the direct primary for
fifteen years, the legislature of Idaho
has voted, democrats and republicans
alike, with practical one voice fol
it's repeal and a return to the old sys-
tenn of nominations by delegates sent
from the precincts to the county con-
ventons and by the county to the
state convention.
There were two great reasons for
this change: Having first contest
for the nomination and then a contest
for election was found too expensive
for candidates and their friends; the
next reason for changing it was that
the personnel of the men elected to
office was shown to have greatly de-
Perforated.
These were the most important
reasons for the action of the legisla-
ture, taken in response to popular de-
mand of the people of all parties
throughout the state.
But there was still another reason.
Whereas, this is u government by po-
litical party. as must always be the
case in government by majority, it
was shown that party principles were
being cast aside in the interest of GER
tain leaders-mostly demagogues-
who were always on the job to pro-
mote their personal interests.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

Never did Woodrow Wilson speak
more eloquently, or with so much
poetic sentiment than IN his address
to vast audience, Tuesday night,
just before embarking for his return
to France.
But all of the address was devoted
to argument for a league of nations
on which practically every man in the
United States is agreed--and none of
it TO clearing up the objections to the
proposed constitution for a league of
nations.
The president gives warning that
failure of the United States to join
a league of nations would fill the
world with despair and precipitate
grave international complications.
But there are constitutions and con-
stitutions. The United States has a
constitution and Mexico has a consti-
tuition. But these two constitutions
are not alike.
At the White House conference the
president let it be known that the
draft of the constitution adopted was
Englands, and that the American
draft was turned down. Therefore,
we may guess that another kind of
constitution would be more to the
presidents liking, but he is afraid if
the one drafted by England is not ac-
cepted the whole scheme will fail.
The president holds there are only
two possible courses open to the Uni
ted states-to ratify the constitution
or not to ratify it.
The senate sees a third course-to
have the constitution suitably amend
ed before we ratify.

which he was criticized on the score
of extravaganza, but sustained by
unanimous resolutions of both houses
Of the legislature in 1882. The record
shows that in less than four years he
disposed of over 200 civil and 500
criminal eases.
Few persons havt- passed forty
years of such constant and varied ac-
tiVity, especially devoted to the de-
velopment of his adopted home. From
his large acquaintance with eastern
public men and editors, his work in
this direction was particularly effec-
tive. His defense of the people of

of a scurrilous letter in the New York
Times in 1882 somewhat similar to
! the North American Review affair of
last year, was printed by thousands
and attracted wide attention through
out the country. While still on the
bench he became the first president
of the bureau Of immigration and
| organized its work; and held the same
position under two subsequent gov
ernors. In 1882 he helped organize
the Santa Fe board of trade. which
was the first civic organization in the
and afterwards served fifteen times as
its president. He was vice president
of the Tertio Milennial celebration in
1888 and devoted much time to that
remarkable exposition. In the same
year he wrote the Historical Sketches
of New Mexico" which for many
years was the only history of this
section of the country; followed long
after by the Concise History of New
Mexico aud the Students History"
and recently by the book on Spanish
Mission Churches" From 1882 down
to the present he has been president
of the Historical Society and largely

THE KICKERS.

A newspaper paragraph states that
the city of st. Louis is spending $4,000
year in maintaining a complaint
board The duty of the board IS to
hear complaints regarding local con
ditions and remedy the same if possi-
BILE. But the board reports it has no
complaints to handle.
1t is possible that the citizens do
plenty of knocking in private CONVEX
sation. Yet they may lack the energy
to place their complaints before any
public authority. This condition is
one found in most towns.
There are many people everywhere,
and no doubt here in Albuquerque,
who are always kicking in an ire
sponsble way. They are full of com
plants of home town conditions, at
times when their talk can do no possi-
BILE good. The only effect is to dis
tribute pessimism and discourage
ment They give the impression that
their town is a run down place with
everything at loose ends.
X They do nothing to make it better
Oh to make anyone else happier,
Doubtless there will be room for
improvement, even in heaven. The
judiciaus kicker, who sees real COM
munity defects. should bring these
matters before the people responsible
for or in a position to remedy them.
Also it does take public agitation to
accomplish any kind of progress. But
aimless kicking distributed with no
purpose to organize sentiment for inn
provement, distributed among people
who themselves will never do any
thing but kick is dead weight on
any towns advance
So a complaint board is a good
proposition. But town does not need
any separate organization for that
purpose There should always be
some authority willing to receive
courteously, investigate
them carefully and take steps to re-
move them if such action is practical

AVOID NEW OFFICES.

When a city's streets and schools
are we'll provided for and police and
fire protection are ample, the city has
about all the government that will be
required by its people. Any multi
plicity of offices or agencies above
those required for these purposes is
merely throwing away the peoples
money.
what is true of a city is true of a
state Good roads and good schools
are about all that any state admins
tration can give, as the counties and
cities provide their police and fire
protection through local organizations.
OF course there is always the tax
gathering machinery to be provided.
There has been a distinct tendency
at Santa Fe to create salaried offices
for this thing or that-most of them
entirely unCalled for, except by cer-
tain individuals who want offices for
themselves because such offices pro-
vide easy jobs and lucrative ones for
them.
Let the policy be, as the legislature
draws to a close, to kill every new
salaried office that can be dispensed
with without actual harm to the in
terests of the state. Let the legisla-
tors consider carefully whether the
taxpayers of the state demand the of
flee or whether the demand is chiefly
backed by some person who wants
the office.

A PROPER SELFISHNESS.

James Bryce: Europe has made
many settlements, but it has never
yet made a settlement"
Out of every great peace treaty
signed in Europe for centuries new
wars have come. Yet every such
treaty was made in the belief that it
would establish permanent peace.
After Il great war the world has
turned instinctively to the idea that
war must be abolished forever and
that to make.another conflict impossi-
BILE il was only necessary to eliminate
the things that had caused the war
just finished. But it has always
proved that other causes, quite un-
forseen when peace was made, have
arisen to make war again irrepressi-
BILE.
Statesmen have gathered in solemn
conclave to rearrange the map of Eu-
rope with boundaries meant to be un-
changeable, with relations between
the nations fixed and immutable, with
regimes in the various countries that
would continue to function indefi-
ntely
Yet within a period of forty years,
on the average, the new generation
of men would be locked in u bloody
struggle that ignored the boasted per-
manence of the Old arrangement.
How is the present peace confer
ence to accomplish what all its pre-
decessors failed to do? The great
advantage the present proposal has is
that it will be signed by republics and
republican monarchies. rather than
by monarchs. Therein lies the hope
of the future.
Through the instrumentality of the
league of nations-nations republican
in sentiment if not in form--it is pco-
posed to guard the peace of the world,
to settle disputes before they bring
about war. But If the new league Is
made inelastic, if it is to be constituted
now in its final form. it will inevita-
bly, fail--just as all other final and
fixed agreements have failed, through
out human history
Human society is in a constant state
of flux. Forms and laws and expedi-
ents that suit one era, may prove
wholly unsuitable TO another. The
only supreme law for all mundane
things, is the law of change.
But certain American rights can be
reserved. before we sign the league
covenant. which will not subject us to
great embarrassments which might

New Mexico state Record.

This passing month of February
marks the completion of forty years
of residence in New Mexico by our
friend, l.. Bradford Prince, ex-chief
justice and ex-governor and entities
him to be counted among the "old
timers" He returned from protract-
ed Illness in the east just in time to
celebrate this completion of four de-
cades in the clear air of New Mexico,
to which he first gave the name of
the sunshine State" in 1892.
1t was on a Saturday morning in
February, 1879, that he came in the
Concord coach of that day, over the
Santa Fe trail. into this Ancient city.
The railroad then ended at Trinidad,
and fifty hours of continuous travel
was the schedule tine from that towa
to Santa Fe.
The old Fonda, or Exchange hotel,
afforded the only accommodation for
the traveller, but in many respects
Santa Fe was more lively than to-
day. The great wholesale houses of
the Spiegelbergs, the Selgmans, the
Stabbs, and others, We're centers of
activity, as the entire trade of the
southwest was concentrated around
the Plaza; the bar, headed by Catron
and Thornton, by Breedon and
Waldo, and many others, was of un-
usual brilliancy: the army head
quarters, the center of vast mill
tary district included lines of build
ings on Palace and Grant avenues,
with the commanding general. the
staff officers and hosts of clerks, and
the famous Ninth cavalry band, which
furnished concerts on all days but
Saturdays in the plaza.
Judge Prince brought with him the
reputation of remarkable legislative
career in the Empire state, crowned
with the Impeachment of the corrupt
judiciary there and the adoption of
the most advanced constitutional
amendment; he had just declined the
positions of governor of Idaho and
chief justice of Utah. and was finally
induced to accept the appointment in
New Mexico by the glamor of her
romantic history. He brought with
him also the untiring energy so neces-
sary in those times. The court bust
ness was far in arrears and the coming
OF the railroad attracted the worst
gang of desperadoes and crooks that
was ever congregated together. 1t
was an interesting as well as strenu-
Gus time; the era of Rudabaugh and
Billy the Kid and Hoodoo Brown of
murders and robberies and lynchngs
The new judge was sworn in as chief
justice on that Saturday in February
opened court in the present reception
room of the Historical society in the
Palace on Monday. and in the course
of that first circuit of the north half
of the territory tried fifteen murder
cases and cleared the dockets OF their
accumulations. He introduced vari-

Let US keep the record straight.
Nobody is trying to defeat the league
of nations. But enough men to defeat
the proposed constitution of the
league of nations have pledged them
selves to do so unless clear defini-
tions are made as to what the terms
of the new constitution really mean.
The president says attempting to
make such definitions now would
create confusion. Wouldn't it be bet
ter to have the. confusion before than
afterwards? If the other delegates
understand the terms as the president
explains them, why shouldn't they
readily agree to have their under
