PEACE. PROGREss,PROsPERITy"

Everybody is tired Of the political
bunk with which the papers are filled
these days. The papers are not to
blame for they are getting paid for
printing the nonsense. Even at that
the rawest sort of flapdoOle stirs the
feelings through the appeal to partisan
bias We applaude sentiments that
would make us weep, II we We're not
under the spell.
OF course everybody knows that the
United States Is sick nation and ii
Is perfectly natural that politicians
should offer their favorite panacea..
But lot Of arguments are an insult
TO the intelligence OF voters.
Meanwhile the taxes, both federal
and state, continue 10 become more
burdensome. The high cost of the nee
essities is probably the least Of all our
troubles. So long as commerce flour
ished and wages were high the increas-
ing cost Of living was supportable: but
now industrial stagnation threatens
and contracting credits begin 10 pinch
those who must borrow. Money Is still
cheap, hut IL is getting harder to get
at that.
The service the American people re-
ceive from government controlled agen-
cies is rotten TO use a vulgar term.
With fingers to nose public servants"
taunt the exasperated public ana de-
mand that the voters turn the indus
tries over TO them
The nation that used to boast of the
expanding milage of its railroads can
hardly keep the trains running on the
present long-established lines.
The politicians for the most part
avoid these painful subjects and throw
a smoke screen by pointing out the
ideals in foreign relations, money spent
by candidates, appeals to class preju-
dces and any old thing that will con
fuse the voters and keep them pulling
steadily at the party traces,
Barnum must have been right.

IT'S ALL WHO MAKES BUDGET

Golfers stys Install a national
budget system to save waste Of peo-
pies taxes"
Fine idea for state and nation. But
all budget systems 80 far are for the
hired hands.
Those who want more appropria-
tions. more salaries, more offices,
more taxes make budgets now.
A bank, factory. a mercantile bust
ness or a corporation does not make its
expense budget that way.
The farmer does not leave II all to
his hired help 10 make up list Of their
financial demands.
But so far budget laws have only
provided for representatives Of all de-
partments to stack up their demands.
To save taxes budget law must be
made up by representatives OF taxpay-
ers and not OF aggregated officialism.

JAZZ IN COLUMBUS

Columbus. which was shot up and
burned by villa, seems Ia have AS hard
boiled lot Of thieves as ever cut
throat. The Columbus Courier says
that three-fOurths Of Luna county Jail
occupants are from the border town.
More than a dozen homes and business
houses were raided last week.
one thug, WHO used gas pipe to
beat victim Of one Of the raids Is In
custody The local paper says II the
jail were filled the town would still
have many thieves. Many petty Of
fcnses are committed by discharged
soldiers, ii is said. The troops at the
post are black men, many OF them OF
good repute. but are hard-boiled.
Large numbers are being released
constantly Some hang around unless
they re-cnlist. and the smuggling Of
| liquor from Mexico cause dissipation,
crime among the idle and extravagant
who soon squander their pay. There
are plenty Of harpies and fighting Is
common between men who seek them
Columbus Is good business point
aud has plenty Of good citizens, but Is
oyerrun with predatory persons from
both sides Of the border. Prior to tht
establishment Of an army post the
town was as orderly as any Other
place.
Army life apparently possesses pecn
liiar attractions for negroes, as instruc
tions have been received at the United
States army recruiting stations to nc
oept no more enlistments for the twen

WARSAW IS SAVED BY

never safe To corner people on their

that Is the least expected.
A few days ago the Entente powers
and the Poles themselves were nt the
| feet Of Ienin and TrotZky begging for
any terms that would lcale the Poles
] with their independence. The terms
given out were, ON the face of them,
very fair. the only apparently harsh
measures was the demand for instant
disarmament of the Polish forces. But
il makes little difference now for il Is
safe Ia say that the Poles will accept
nothing IN reason from the Soviet del
egates. II is probable that the Poles
will even attempt another invasion cf

develop favorably.

CIVIL WAR IN IRELAND

The causes of disorders in ireland
are m understood in this country. ex-
cept. perhaps, by Irish-Americans who
are pro-Sinn Fein and who naturally
feel very strongly against the unionists
and the British government for what
they feel to he tyranny over ireland.
What this tyranny consists of other
than failure to recognize Ireland as an
independent nation, does not appear.
Friends Of human freedom everywhere
desire for Ireland the degree OF indie
pendence she Is able to maintain and
defend. However, IL is one foreign
complication that our government
should remain clear of because OF our
inability TO comprehend the strong
