sequence to be news our mention of it was there
fore casual
Others exaggerated the events into an incipien
riot and proceeded to excite public condemnation.
The route taken the public does not earn
appreciation. The result obtained at the hands
of the city commission will please us if it goes far
enough and proper Judgment is shown
The significant fact is that had similar events
ranspred at the close of church service, lecture
even a political meeting. it would have been
news" without need of exaggeration
In other words, it is the ENVIRONMENT which al
ways surrounds unsupervised boxing matches which
needs attention.
Boxing is great exercise. 1t develops alertness,
coordination of eye and muscle and both mental and
physical endurance. II teaches boys TO swap
punches" without losing their temper and schools a
young fellow TO standing punishment and still
carry on" All this is great training for lifes
battles. We would regret the necessity for sup
pressing boxing matches
However. it is a sport which seems inevitably to
gather in its wake the rough element in COM
munity Some observers construe this as being due
to a love for brutality We think not. We think it
is love for contest; admiration for grit and en-
durance-and chance to bet
In any event. it is pastime which must be SUI
pervised--or abolished We feel that the former
course should be first tried Failing in that, the
latter can be followed.
A license fee alone will not reach it. There
should be some one, capable of judging, who will
pass upon whether it is "fixed" affair. No frame
up to aid gamblers and defraud the public should
be endured. ~
Whether the antagonists are fairly matched and
both in good training should be determined.
All betting should be absolutely prohibited, and
the permitting of open betting should be ground
for stopping the bout
The promoters should pay for adequate police
protection. Excitement is the rule upon such occa-
sions and experience shows that police supervision
is necessary.
These matters should have the attention of the
city commission while dealing with the case.
From all information we can obtain Policeman
Chavez was the victim of circumstances. He doubt
less saw nothing to OCCASION any arrests.

THE CASH HABIT.

The inadequate supply Of credit is of the
fundamental difficulties in the business situation
1t creates high rates Of interest thus discour
ages enterprise.
While economy and avoidance OF speculation
are necessary fully to solve this problem, the habit
of paying cash. on the part of the public, would do
almost much. The credit system ties up vast
amount~of the countys resources; it acts a drag
on all business. and is charge adding to all living
costs Never before there such need for the
cash habit. .
If every person in Albuquerque would pay his
debts for home and personal supplies, and others
far possible; if everyone would resolve to pay
cash at time of purchase, it would release very
large amount of money now held up in credits. The
merchant who has to borrow to offset the
amount that the public him, could pay off his
loans incurred for that purpose
That would release many thousands of dollars
that could be loaned to farmers and business men
The result would be to reduce rates of interest The
interest charge that has to be made against the
price of all commodities could be made less. That
would reduce prices apprecably Also the lowering
of rates of interest would tend to restore Liberty
bonds to their original value.
it would go far of itself to business troubles.
The solution of the business problem is not much
more money and credit making the existing
money and credit work faster. Paying cash would
do it.

JUST FOLKS
Copyright. 1920. by Edgar A. Guest.
MERIT.

You don't need to shout: Come and see what
i do!
Come and gaze at my speed as my goals pur-
sue,"
You don't need bugle to summon the throng
To watch you perform or to cheer you along;
You don't need to boast of your strength or your
skill,
Or the things that you know or your courage
and WILL
Put the trumpet away there is no need to blow 1t.
Just do your work well and the wide world will
know it,
You needn't announce: 81 am great in my line!
/ rank with the best and my product is fine
Like street fakir loud you don't need TO attract
crowd that will gather and look at your act;
If your work is worth while, there is no need to
shout
The news far and wide. men will soon find it out;
The whole world is watching for splendid and
new things
And it's quick to discover the man who can do
things.
You don't need the spotlight, you don't need TO
boast.
Success will be yours if you stand at your post;
Merit speaks to the world in all language known,
you own;
And If you deserve 1t, your fame will go far,
Men will know by your deeds just how worthy
you are:
There's a task to be done merely step up and
do it,
Success shall he yours. That is all there is.to it.

/. Laws that will remove our
state institutions and our public
schools from politics.
2. The removal of the limita-
tons now placed upon our rural
schools, so that our children in
the rural districts may have as
nearly as possible an equal oppor-
tunity with the children in the
town, and city districts.
3, The tenure of office for both
state and county superintendent
should be based upon efficiency of
service. s
A. Our constitution should be
amended so that women may hold
the office of state superintendent.
There are many other changes
that might be made for the better
ment of our schools, but these
strike me as being of prime inn
portance.
When we consider that more
than fifty per cent of our taxes are
spent for educational purposes, we
are made to realize the import
ance of having our school funds
economically administered. This
is condition that will hardly be
possible as long as our school adj
ministrators hold their offices by
virtue of political preference rather
than because of fitness for service.

UNCLE WIGGHiY'S RAGGED
CLOTHES.
(By Howard X. CARTS. }

Are you going TO look for an
adventure today Uncle Wiggily?'
asked Nurse Jane, as she saw the
bunny rabbit at the rack, where
his tall silk hat was playing a game
of hop scotch with his red, white
and blue striped rheumatism
crutch.
mo, I am not going out at ALL"
was the answer. II am going TO
stay home and work in the garden.
That's why I'm hanging up my nice
shiny hat. ! don't want TO get il
dirty"
That's a good idea" said Nurse
Jane. "And. if l were you, I'd
change my shoes. Those are your
best ones"
I'm going to change my shoes
and put on my old clothes" re-
marked the bunny gentleman
Then I can work in the garden
to my hearts content
He went up to his room, but
when he came down a little later
Nurse Jane held up her paws in
surprise and exclaimed:
"Wiggy! You're never going out
in those clothes!"
why not?" asked Mr.. Longears
why, they're so tattered and
torn" said the muskrat lady. you
look like a rag picker
We'll. they are rather torn and
ragged and fun of holes" said the
bunny, looking at his coat and
trousers. But it is a hot day, and
with all the holes in my suit I'll be
nice and cool. Besides, no one
win see me back in the garden"
well, youll have your own way
about it, / s'pose Wiggy." sighed

If you observe the also rams
you'll note they're always making
plans. Some day they'll reach the
shining heights and bask in
wealth's and fame's delights. Next
week, next month, perhaps next
year, they'll venture on the high
career, and show the natives Cog
gle-eyed that they're all wool and
three feet wide. And while they
plan they let today, the golden
present, slide away. They sit
around the village pump. and plan
and dream while others hump. And,
Time flies on with eager pace; the
