In the highlands he who meets a red

SIZING UP FATHER

Speaking at recent birthday dinner given in his honor, Chauncey M. Depew said of Ameri- can history:
 'Is history bunk? One of our richest inanu- lecturers has said that history is bunk And yet except for what was celebrated in these cen tennials, this manufacturers opportunity would never have come. Again there is "a rapidly growing feeling of indifference or contempt for the past read addresses and articles condemn ing the education of our colleges and schools be- cause they are not wholly devoted to methods of money-making. remember an instance of a brief contact between the past and the present college rowing crew were located at Peeks- kill on the Hudson while they were training on the river. Passing up to their homes, they leap- ed on the terrace of our home and began an act i've discussion of the past and present. One of them said "The past can teach us nothing. My father is over seventy years old and am twenty one, but know more than he does." My father was sitting, according to custom, in the late af- ternoon, upon the piazza smoking his pipe and reading his newspaper. The young man turned around and said to him, Well, old gentleman, what do you think of that?' My father replied, I am thinking what damn fool your father must be-
 Our safety, our development, our prosperity, our peace and our happiness are in America with American ideals and government by Americans. They are the protection as against socialism, bo- shevism and anarchy of those precepts and prac- tices of American liberty and individual oppor- tunity which have made the United States the admiration and the hope of the world"

WELL, WHY NOT?

We have been asked, frequently, of late, to mention that this man, or that man, would be candidate for some local county office at the com- ing fall elections, and that they would appreci- ate nice write up up of their candidacy. We now and here declare the policy that the Magdalena News will use during this campaign. No candi- date, no matter who he is, where he comes from, what his politics, and whether he parts his hair
 in the middle or on the side, wears polka dot ties silk or cotton shirts and sox, whether he is wet or dry, can get any support from this sheet with out putting up the coin in regular advertising rates. We are running the News with the in tention of getting enough "con" out of the same to provide the necessities of life for the "old man., the "kid" and the better half of the Carter family during these H. C. of L. times We cannot make both ends meet by giving candi- dates, who expect to get their paws in the public crib, free notices. So just bear this in mind, Mr. candidate. If you want to air your qualifications and desires to serve the people we will be glad to help you out at so much per help. And we might also add, that the coin will be accepted just as freely from any and all candidates, regardless of the ticket he votes the party he desires to help out in his political aspirations. -Magdalena (N. M) News.

THE BIGGEST AND BEST UNION

The "One Big Union" is capital idea Only, it must be the real thing. No such picayune af- fair as the l. w. w., the Communists, and the Bolshevists propose would fill the bill. Neither would that which the American Federation of Labor and the Brotherhoods have in mind be sui ficient. They talk of "one big, Union" of two millions, four millions, six millions. But that would be trifling affair in nation the size of ours. The lone big Union" which we want; and which is needed, is one numbering hundred mil lions. Why not? If the railroad men, and min CTS, and steel workers and lockers, and who not, form unions, why may not other citizens do the same? And if all these various classes of indus triaists unite their unions into a single body of several millions, why should not the rest of our citizenship unite into single body of scores of millions? "One Big Union" let it be but let it be union of all American citizens for the common good of all without distinction of trades or class es.-Harvey's Weekly

REPUBLICANS WILL ACT WHEN
 THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY

The program of the democratic politicians now is to blame the eXtravagant expend- itures of the administration upon the pres ent republican congress. The New York Times attributes the failure to reduce the number of federal employees to congressional inaction. A little more familiarity with the operations of the national government would doubtless demOn- strate to the Times that responsibility for "hir-
 ing and firing ninety-nine per cent of the federal employees rests with the one whom the Times credits with omniscience. That, however, does not, of course, prevent the administration organs from trying to "pass the buck" to congress. What the facts are Is of no concern to the administra- tion press agents, just so they can put over on the people the idea that congress is to blame for the increase in number of peace time federal em- ployes by third of million even as compared with the number carried on the swollen govern ment payrols under the Wilson administration before the war. The Times calls upon republi- cans to translate their fine words into acts' by pairing down the executive payrolls. When given an opportunity the republicans will muster out the excess employees, but the opportunity will come only when the people have retired from power the administration responsible for the ex- isting imitation of the national salary list. The republicans in congress have cut the estimates of the executive departments for the coming fiscal year full billion dollars, and have gone as far as congress can toward the elimination of some 40,- 900 federal employees by reducing the appropria- tions, but there is limit beyond which congress cannot decently go in refusing appropriations de- manded by departmental heads as absolutely ,es- sentia to the operation of government. Control of the executive department is essential to con- trol of government expenditures, and when that control is given the republican party it will be fair to critcise republican officials for failing to curtai the federal payrolls; no one not mere administration claquer would do it before.
 Recently the secretary of war called on con gress for an increase in the number of employees calling for an additional appropriation of $800,- OOO This demand was accompanied by the threat that unless the appropriation was made the de- partment would be unable" to attend to the in- quiries of members of congress on departmental matters, or to reply to letters from ex-service. men, This is fair sample of the methods em- ployed by the administration to coerce congress into making the appropriations criticized by such administration organs as the New York Times National Republican.
The Coconino sun., 1920-06-04
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

The republican national convention, which will open at Chicago on June 9th, will be the fifth consecutive republican convention held in the great middle west metropolis. Roosevelt was nominated in Chicago in 1904, and the republi- cans have named their standard bearers there ever since. The convention of 1920 will be, per haps, the most interesting in the history of the republican party, with several strong contenders for the presidency and clements of uncertainty in the situation which will keep the country doubtful as to the outcome of the baoting, in all probability, throughout the convention. It is es- timated that the attendance at the 1920 conven- tion will break all records, and that for enthus- iasm as we'll as size it will touch high water mark in national convention history
The Coconino sun., 1920-06-04
ON THETRAIL

Another reason congress is unable to reduce the income tax is shown by the development of the fact that with the connivance of high officials of the Washington administration thieving war contractors managed to steal $78,O00,000 from the government in the construction of the sever al army camps. The house by practically unan- imous vote has decided to prosecute the cases to the bitter end, and there is absolutely no ques- tion that the exposures made will be as startling as they are shameful. The operation of the "cost-pus" system, the pet of the efficiency i'm passioned MT. Baker, seems to have proved one of the most infamous infictions ever visited upon this country, and it is likely that before congress concludes it's probing several very promising political careers will be sadly junked and num- Der of purse proud profteers safely behind pris- on bars. The committee on camps and canton ments reports the following losses to the federal treasury as result of the loose and criminal naothods of fhn war dena 1trnant
The Coconino sun., 1920-06-04

The federal reserve system has been used not only as means of tremendous currency imitation, but for the encouragement of speculation as con- trasted with productive enterprise. Loans have been freely made on "sure thing" purchases of food stuffs and other commodities bought for speculative purposes. This speculative activity has been responsible for much of the profiteerng in the necessities of life. There is growing de- mand that the federal reserve system be operated for the service of the country father than that of certain interests
The Coconino sun., 1920-06-04

Whether to nominate Wilson, who kept us out of war, or McAdoo, who perfected the railway service, or Edwards, who made New Jersey wet, or Palmer, who reduced the high cost of living, or Bryan, who gave us peace through unprepar- edness, or Al Smith, who reduced taxes in New York state, or Albert s. Burleson, who intro duced efficiency into our postal system, or Tom Marshall, who restored the government to the standards of JeffersOnan simplicity is all that is worrying the democratic party at present.
