If NOT BOSSES, THEN WHAT?

The Journal is informed that there politi-
cal bosses in New Mexico in either party. That
settles the whole matter and everybody is satisfied
and happy.
Perhaps, however. we may be permitted to Won
der what the gentlemen who manage the state ma
chinery Of both political parties really are if they
not bosses?
1t may be are wrong again and nobody runs
the machinery of the parties. 1t runs itself, per-
haps while certain well-known gentlemen merely
stand around and watch the wheels go round.
We suspect however, that some of them apply a
few drops of oil occasionally.
Certain results obtained with rather clock
like regularity for machine without engineer.
For instance there is a strange similarity between
a corporation commission which cannot act against
offenders for want of appropriations an attorney
general who is curtailed in his activities for want
of appropriations and land commissioner who
cannot classify rental lands to know actual
rental values, and so obtain fair rental for want
of appropriations. Funny, isn't it, that it happens
each time-just happens-to be a lack of appro-
prations which stands in the way of service and
efficiency?
Then it is something of a coincidence that it
just happens that the Santa Fe railroad, which
doesn't maintain a lobby, pays its maximum taxes
and the Springer Interests and the Chino Copper
company which do maintain highly efficient Hobbies,
get off with small part of a just tax. 1t is also
very strange that these lobbyists happen to be the
intimate personal friends of United States senator's,
national committeeman, state charmen and others
of known political proDensities in both parties
1t strikes peculiar, also. that among all the
gentlemen who in the past have been able to OBJ
tain any political prominence in the state, there is
not who is preacher of civic righteousness,
fair dealing and spirit of service in the common
good. There is not seeking to the soul of
New Mexico by preaching honor. courage, indie
pendence and sacrifice in the public service.
Is all this accident and it just happens that,
while other states have developed such public men,
New Mexico has been so unfortunate as to be passed
by? Or have those showing such tendencies had
"their beaten down and been retired to private
life by sinister and unseen power in our
politics?
Has it been merely unfortunate circumstance
that those in high position in party organizations
have been selfish and sought only personal aggran
dizement and personal ends. has it settled into
a System" where such conduct is the rule?
The answer is perfectly clear.
What is the remedy? public sentiment that
will longer endure it will settle it at The
public is made up of individuals of whom you,
gentle reader, Your part is to speak out
loud upon all occasions and say you will no longer
tolerate it and then vote according you see
the light.

FREEDOM FOR THE FILIPINos.

John Burke treasurer of the United States, who
is the first member of the congressional party
which visited the Philippines to return to Wash
ington declares that it is his belief that the Fill
pinos are capable of self-goveEnment.
His report seems to have been made after a
careful study of the situation, and should doubtless
be given considerable weight by the American peo-
pie in forming their judgment of the situation.
Mr. Burke says that the islands have made great
progress since the American occupation, that the
schools well ordered and the children courteous
and well disciplined Nearly all of the teachers are
Ffpinos teaching in the English language.
In a word, the situation seems to be similar to
that which prevailed in Cuba at the time gave
the island its independence BY this action the
United States the respect and affection of a
large part of Latin-America, which became almost
convinced that the Colossus of the North" this
country Is frequently called by its Latin neighbors
was not ready to pounce the weaker Spanish
speaking nations of the western hemisphere.
The American people do not wish their govern
ment to retain the Philippines day longer than is
for the good of the Filpnos themselves.
Our traditions demand that we respect the right OF
self government the part of peoples capable of it.
Amy authoritative opinion that help us to a
conclusion is therefore desirable. We must take
facts from others, but decision must be own.

DISTRIBUTION OR DESTRUCTION.

Absolute waste of half million dollars worth
of fruit is reported in county of Michigan
alone. 1t is rotting on the ground or is being fed
to the hogs.
On the other hand, this fruit could bring
the peach bloom health into the cheeks of saow
tenement children. 1t could refresh thousands of
factory workers who have never seen a farm except
in pictures.
Why does such a grotesque situation exist? Va
rious causes given, among them car shortage
sudden ripening of the crop, and tricky contracts
by commission men, by which the farmers would
be forced to sell at loss. Ebertas, which bring
the farmers $3.50 bushel, selling for Sc in
Chicago
The implication contained in the Associated Press
dispatches containing account of this deplorable
waste is that the farmers, rather than sell their
fruit below cost, letting it rot
Whatever the specific for this situation
1t is clear that while in part of the country there
is want in another there is waste.

read as foreshadowing great BUSH
ness enterprises for women. who
will win supreme success.
This should be an suspicious d.
rection of the stars for love af-
fairs, and even though it is Friday,
it should bring happiness to brides
and bridegrooms welded under
this sway Of the stars.
Lawyers, whether they be men
or women, have the most import
ant leadings while this configura-
ton prevails, the seers declare.
This should be a day most bene-
fetal for theaters and all who play
in them. making especially for
large financial returns rather than
artistic success.
Hotels and restaurants still have
the most prosperous outlook, ac--
cording to astrology, but they will
seek to conform more to home con-
ditions, astrologers prophesy.
The ingress of the sun in Libra
in trine to the Moon is read as ia
vorable for the country and the
people generally, so that the win
ter should find the world condi-
tons improved, even though evil
stars seem to presage much suf-
fering in Europe.
1t is prognosticated that many
jurists and literary folk will end
their careers before the dawning
of the new year. This prophesy
applies to Great Britain as well as
the United States.
Distinguished visitors to this
country from Asia as well as Eu-
rope are to be entertained in the
winter and spring
Persons whose birth date it IS
may expect a happy year, for both
financial and domestic affairs
should be satisfactory.
Children born on this day prob
lbly will be high strung and alert,
out prosperous because of good
uck rather than hard work.

always yanked to draw 1t together.
and this naturally causes it to wear
out quickly.
If one wishes to use rings, she
should take the width of the win
dow and make a curtain which
measures that width when fin
ished. She should then make
groups of little plaits and sew on
ring at each group. As the full
ness has thus been distributed
evenly by the small plat groups,
the curtain will not sag between
the rings when it is pulled to-
gether.
Material 2S inches wide will re-
quire eight rings on each curtain,
the rings about two and one-half
inches apart. The small plaits
should be whatever size is neces-
sary three plaits accompanying
each ring. When this curtain is
drawn together, the fullness will
be evenly distributed.
Hemstitching gives very pro-
sional look to a curtain. This is
easy to do If the scrim is not too
fine. A fairly deep hem looks best
and a hem which is turned in
twice will make the curtain hang
better, as it will give it weight.
If it is desired to have a French
heading at the top of the curtain,
one should first turn a wide hem
and then stitch it both at the hem
itself and then a little above-thus
leaving a narrow channel through
which to run a brass rod.
And now comes the question:
"How long shall the curtains be?"
This depends upon circumstances
If the woodwork is unattractive,
the entire trim may be covered.
A room which is large and formal
in decorative treatment and fur
nishings, requires full-length cur
tains and over-drapes. But in bed
rooms or rooms in a home where
is the keynote, curtains
reaching to the sill, or a few inches
below, are appropriate.

Upton TIPS

Intuition is that thing which let's woman
know she is right whether her husband agrees
or not.
Personally, we haven't any use for the
big, easy chairs in a dentists office. The
hard, square cornered ones seem much more
responsive to our mood.
Signs again point to normal times. A
young lady offered a Kansas City pawn broker
$32 georgette nighte with the explanation
that she wanted to buy pair of shoes.
And again perhaps you've observed that
somehow when your party men are out trying
to spread the gospel truth the other candi-
dates are busy as bees sowing propaganda.
Q o o o
"Be good and you will be lonesome" Is
probably the theory that keeps the profiteers
heart warm toward the man who has just
received his back pay.
The girl who looks her prettest in furs
seldom has anything nice to say about her
pretty cousin who poses in a one-pece bath
ing suit
One reason given for the good dying young
reputation. +
Invention is making everything more or
less mechanical. A red-hot brake shoe flew
into the window of Pennsy flyer car the 9TH
er day, but it was fistimed. The bride and
groom got on at the next station.

THE DWINDLING CARAVAN.

The one army to which recruits cannot be had
is the Grand Army of the Republic, which held its
fifty-fo annual convention at Indianapolis re-
Gently.
Every year there gaps in its ranks. There
fresh reserves to fill them And the veterans
that remain are just little grayer just little more
stopped
But the finger of time cannot touch their spirit,
Although m anyof the $1,000 marchers in the In
danapolis parade had to be taken to first-aid sta
lions to from mild heat prostrations, it is
reported that all were delighted with the reception
that the Indiana metropolis had given them, They
marched onward over the hot streets until they
dropped in their tracks, for they were soldiers all.
Whenever feel tempted to relnquish some
of our Americanism for fatuous internationalism,
let us remember these patriarchal cohorts, who re-
ceived their traditions from George Washington. and
passed them to us untarnished.

THE BETTER JOB.

If I were running factory
I'd stick up sign for all to see.
I'd print it large and I'd nail it high
On every wall that the men walked by,
And I'd have it carry this sentence clear:
1.-THE Better Job that you want is here!"
It's the common trait of the human race
To pack up and roam from place to place;
Men have done 1t for ages and do it now,
Seeking to better themselves somehow;
They quit their posts and their tools they drop
For better job in another shop.
It may be I'm wrong, but hold to this
That somewhere something must be amiss
When man worth while must move away
For the better job with the better pay:
And something is false in our own renown
When men can think of better town.
So il were running factory
I'd stick UP this sign for all to see,
Which never eye in the place could miss:
s9tsThere isn't "a better town than this; t9nA
: You needs not go wandering. far or hear--
The Better Job that you want is here!'

CLIFFORD INVITES BROOKE
TO DINNER.

Chapter CXI.
Clifford came home before we
were through practicing, and to my
surprise he invited both Leonard
and Muriel to stay to dinner. Bur-
ton was away so Muriel immedl-
ately accepted, and. after a mo-
ments hesitation, Leonard did
also.

had he really meant to be kind
When | returned to the living
room the question was still unan-

At dinner Clifford was all that
could be desired. His manner to
Leonard was perfect. The little
condescension he showed was not
more than a man of his age would
naturally show younger man din
ing with him. Then he laughed and
joked with uriel, whom he now
really liked much to my delght'
Edith was allowed to sit up be-
cause "Auntie Muriel" begged for
her, and altogether we were a very
merry little party.
After dinner we returned to the
| library for coffee and Edith went
to bed, sleepily happy over her
treat. Just as Kate passed the
coffee the telephone rang and Cliff
ford went out into the hail to an

I wondered If the call was for
him. Soon l knew that it was from
the scraps of conversation that
floated in at the open door. Some
one he knew well evidently was
talking to him. l heard Clifford
laugh merrily and say that per
haps l will run down after a
while" Then, again he laughed
and said "Oh, about half an
hour!" and hung up the receiver.
When he rejoined us he made
no reference to his telephone call,

the conversation with Leonard

MAKING YOUR OWN CURTAINS,

September is the month when
the good housekeeper looks over
her home with view to getting it
In shape for the coming winter
months. If some of the old pieces
of furniture or drapery need to be
replaced, now is the time to make
plans for the new pieces.
Curtains are perhaps the things
oftenest replaced in the interior of
the house. A curtain which is
hopelessly torn, mended or pulled
out of shape from overriding use,
can give a room such a dis
couraged" look! If any of your
rooms have this forlorn or dis
couraged" look, ask yourself if new
curtains would not brighten and
freshen its appearance wonderfully.
And if you decide that they
would make the new curtains
yourself. So many women shrink
from this task. They fear faulty
hanging. Il bought cheaper
grade of material for my curtains
than l had planned to buy, so that
| could afford to have them made"
once heard a housekeeper con-
less. II decided that I'd rather
have them hang right than have
them of finer material and hang
wrong because I'd made them
myself"
But no woman need fear to make
her curtains If she will but use a
yardstick in measuring them and,
when she gets one curtain made
accurately, will pin the Others by
this one, instead of measuring each
one individually. A tape measure
stretches and has been the cause
of poor results in many a home
made curtain.
With window 26 inches in
width, the correct width of each
"glass' curtain when finished is
IS inches at the top. This will give
plenty of fullness. If a curtain is
made too narrow at the top it is
