o R DATA ON SCHOOLS

VxIE WOULD like to call the attention of Mr.. Antonio Lucero, our
w able prohibition enforcer and democratic candidate for congress,
W 20 some additional school statistics, in connection with MS re-
cent charge from the platform that Valencia county schools are the
worst in the state
In an editorial Thursday, The Herald showed that Mr.. Lncero
either was not Informed about Valencia county schools, or that he
misrepresented the facts; since the schools in that county stand very
close to the top of the list, in percentage of attendance, in efficiency
of teachers and system and in low operating cost.
~ Mr.. Ifceros attention is directed to the school situation IN quay
county. one of the rock-ribbed democratic counties of the state, from
which he no doubt expects a substantial majority a week from Tues
day. He will find, by looking into the matter that the 1919 enroll
ment showed only 63 per cent attendance Of children OF school age;
that this is not a good percentage that it does not compare with the
showing made in Valencia county.
Mr.. Luccros attention is directed TO the fact that it cost Quay
county taxpayers in 1919 $2l5,000 to run their school system, or a
per capita cost of $l1S per student, as against about 500 per capita IN
Valencia county; that there are % teachers employed in that county
who hold lower than first grade certificates, as against "A such teach
es in Valencia county; that Valencia county 5 school buildings are
mniformaliy much more modern and more comfortable than those "
Quay county, and that the Quay county schools have been entirely
under democratic direction.
1t is popular with Mr.. Lueero, Mr.. Hanna and other proteges o.
Arthur Selgman, the democratic boss, TO refer to Valencia county
people as sheep, = to speak ~slightingly of social and educational con
dihons in that county and to pirate of bad government there,
IT would pay these apostles of the gentle art of job chasing to df
a little examining inside the family records.
The evening herald. [volume] (Albuquerque, New Mexico) 1914-1922, 1920-10-23

ernor himself This statement is partly accounted for when you
take into consideration the fact that the antisaloon league says that
Cox was elected governor in 1916 by booze interests as a means
OF showing their gratitude for his assistance.
To show the. contrast, this chief Inspector says that whereas he
was continually hampered by Governor Cox in The enforcement Of
the law, That when Governor Willis succeeded Cox he made frequent
raids on saloons in Cincinnati for violating the sunday closing law
and that he was allowed a free hand. And 20 back law enforcement
|Governbr Willis issued a statement in which he said he was going
to enforce the prohibition laws in all respects.
Nav contrast this with Cox's efforts to help the booze interests.
The inspector says he was called three times for raids he had
planned TO make and in disgust offered his resignation. Governor
Cox, he says, sent for him and refused to accept his resignation aud
Urged him TO retain the office.
So the statement Of the Inspector can hardly be classcd as that
Of n disgrunilcd and discharged employee:
On the other hand it clearly bears out all the charges Of
William Jennings Bryan and other democratic prohibition leaders
that Governor Cox is the candidate of The vets.
The brand has been firmly fixed aud Mr.. Cox is making no
effort TO remove il,
The antisaloon league which has successfully fought for pro.
Ihibition in this country is justified in fighting Cox as an enemy TO
the cause which it has so valiantly fought for.
And what are the women going to do with their first ballot ?
Are they going to vote TO safeguard the interests for which they
have fought so longS The issue is clear. Cox has made it so by
refusing to reply t. the anttsaoon league. Are the women going
to vote 70 restore saloons in the United States. The question is mp
to them. .

THE JAPS AND THE LEAGUE

Japan has shown what She thinks Of the League of Nations
The foreign office and cabinet have decided not to submit the
" racial equality Question to the league.
The Japaneses consider the time inopportune on account OF the
California. complications and they desire to maintain the theory that
the league is not sufficiently strong TO settle international disputes,
and thus forestal any attempt by the league to settle the Shantung
question. .,
Thus, at the outset of the league you see one nation ptted
against submitting its troubles to the supreme council.
What would happen If Japan should persist in this determine
ation7
Would The league have TO take up arms against Japan AND
would the United States have to furnish troops and warshipsg Presf
dent Wilson admits he would be under u moral obligation if the
league is ratified.
And what will happen should Japan decide to appeal the
California land question TO the league Of nations. They probably
would be entirely willing to do this inasmuch as they know there
are seven foreigners on the council ~ Arerca's one member.
Is America willing to take up the burden of bringing Japan inf
line on its far east problems and then let tue supreme council o
foreigners settle our lard question in California.
The two question present a striking example OF President vii
sons internationalism and he would pledge us to this policy by
election Of Governor Cox on a platform 10 ratfy the treaty anc

Would you not, Nh. Voter, rather stick to Harding $ policy o

yvTE NOTE in a Clovis dispatch to one of Mr.. Seigmnns campaign
w organs two interesting statements.
~ One is that Hanna is going to he elected, and with him a
democraticl legislature.
The other is that Clovis, Portalcs and Roswell people are com.
pleting plans for a north-and-south state highway, to be built with
federal aid funds.
II will be necessary for one Of these assertions to give way TO the
other for one event to get out Of the way of the other. They will not
work together.
If Hanna and a democratic legislature should be elected II would
mean the enactment of a law, prior TO March 10 next. abolShing the
state highway commission and returning state road building entirely
TO local county administration. This, IS n matter Of course, would
terminate any further use of federal aid funds; and would efectualy
check intcr-county road building with any kind of road funds.
This is the destructive program to which Hanna and democratic
Legislative candidates are pledged.
The leaders Of good roads effort in this state are confronted with
n definite pledge to legidate their efforts out Of existence.
The republican party is pledged TO continue a sane, conservative
program Of intelligent highway building and maintenance.
IN this connection The Herald is still waiting to hear what Col
oncl j. X. y. Sellers, our leading preacher of good roads and tourist
travel promotion, has 10 say about the pledge that binds him, II elect
ed, to put a stop to all Through road construction and maintenance.
