doing such thing they would be far beyond their
rights and guilty Of crime against the common
good. Public policy demands that the avenues OF
publicity be kept open. Then public sentiment will
keep the balances even.
But if it be true that newspapers. owned by any
interests, refused to carry the counter propaganda
of the unions against the open-shop then, in our
judgment refusal to set open-shop advertising was
in order and was the proper remedy. If the news
paper insisted arbitrarily upon depressing one side
of the argument the unions certainly had the right
to arbitrarily repress the other side, il they could

Out of the action of the newspaper in discrimi-
mating against union advertising grows bitterness and

which adopts such course.

equal terms Then. with all the facts before it., let

A BOOMERANG.

The following news item from Labor, an organi
cation journal. raises an interesting question:
Union, printers employed the Mime
apos Tribune, morning newspaper, have
fused to set matter for advertisements advo-
eating the open shop. For over two weeks
full-page advertisements inserted by the Citi-
zens Alliance of Minneapolis have been ap-
pearing in the daily papers, filled with what
members of organized labor claim to be false
and vicious statements.
1.-THE corporaton- owned daily papers of
that city refused to accept advertising from
the labor unions which sought to combat the
open-shop propaganda .>.
"As last resort and in retaliation for this
discrimination in the sale of advertising space,
members of the Typographical Union refused
to be a party to spreading false propaganda
against themselves and other members Of
union labor.
printers, stereotypers and pressmen, en-
ployed on the other two daily papers in Min
neapolis have announced that they will stand
together and go on strike in event further
attempt Is made to have such open-shop ad-
vertisements appear in any Of these papers"
II union printers were to refuse to set type upon
lvertising which displeased them, they would be
Iilty of exercising that control over publicity con-

THE ROAD TO LAUGHTER.

This s the road to laughter
Hands clean from the CRIME OF shame.
No sin that may follow after.
No smudge on an honored name.
Kindness and open dealing.
And though you may weep awhile.
In days when. the laughter's pealing
You shall be free to smile.
.' - ...s........
This is the road to gladness-
Courage in time of test,
Faith in the hours of sadness,
Believing that all is best;
With never wrong behind you
And none who may doubt your worth,
When the glorious joys shall find you
You may give up yourself to mirth.
For laughter and joy are treasures
Which those who false must lose,
Shame offers men tawdry pleasures
But better the hurts which bruise,
And better the failures burning
Which pass in little while
If down where the road is turning
They leave us the right to smile.
For this is the road to laughter
Honor and truth, my boy
For never. il shame comes after,
Can man know hour of Joy.
Sorrow shall set you weeping
And burdens shall fret awhile,
But In the name you're Keeping
Lies ever your right to smile. 9 ssta

pass that something must he done
There is positively no reflection
on the sincere men who nronosed
this university building scheme.
Ihey saw that the State university
looked like kindergarten com
pared with the universities with
which they were familiar, and their
| lack of the basic reasons and of
| the class of legislators to whom
they would appeal, led them into
this pitiable excuse. Such an
idealistc and perantic method will
only make our thick-skinned poli-
ticians grin at our imbecility.
This argument is in behalf of the
restoration of the political virinty
of Albuquerque, the metropolis and
business center of our great state;
of its restoration from the present
degrading position of the political
power of a mere village, to the
power it once had and should now
have in state affairs. The lack of
support of the State university by
the, politicians because it is located
in Albuquerque is merely used as
an example, just as / might use
many other examples of Albu-
querque's political weakness.
The outside attitude toward Al
buquerque is not due to jealousy,
but to contempt for Albuquerque
politicians, whom they evidently
consider the greatest aggregation
OF non-entities; and the ease with
which our politicians have been
handled for many years proves
that they are right.
Now as to the solution: Political
pressure applied by leaders who
possess at least a vestige of states-
manlike qualities is all that can re-
store our political virility. Political
force applied by clean, intelligent
type of politician, nominated by
direct primary and working in
harmony with each other for their
own town and state.
Then perhaps. will New MeXico's
largest newspaper be able to print
the views of New Mexico's United
States senator without wiring to
Texas. Perhaps, then, both of our
United States senators will con-
descend to occasionally crafty the
largest city in their constituency by
at least showing their faces there
in, even if they still feel that their
views of public questions, either
before or after election, are no
concern of ours.
Better still. perhaps, an Albu-
querque man may be elected to the
United States senate. He must be
a man of character, eloquence, cul-
lure and good business judgment.
Albuquerque has that man.

MORE HELPFUL LETTERS.

X, Y. IA few weeks ago you
published letter in your Readers

who said her greatest discovery was

a long breath when tempted tC

feel her troubles going out on hel

that they were doing so. I am 60

much along these lines: Every
time l take misstep and am
tempted to worry about it l start
some new line of constructive en-
deavor. To illustrate:
Last winter | was unguardcd

which ] knew. the minute I had
said it, was foolish. / also knew
It would be repeated to my dis
credit. But instead of worrying
about it for the next few days, as
some women would have done, ]
kept asking myself: What new
and worthwhile activity shall en-
gage myself in-something that
will command the respect of others
and will thus in part atone for the
prestige ] have lost because of my
rash remark? Finally ! decided TO
give my services one hour each
week to philanthropic cause
which needed volunteer workers.
In some such way as this | always

Miner Murdered Mt Ration.
The body of Giovanni Batiste
Frankie, an Italian miner from Van

East Side arroyo, by George Avis,
driver of the city garbage wagon.
Frankie had apparently been dead
about twelve hours and his body
and head bore nine wounds from
.32 and .3S caliber guns. three of
one size and six of the other. Foot
steps of two men and one woman
leading into the arroyo and of one
man and one woman leading out
told the whole story OF the crime
except the identity of the murder
ers. ...-.
Frankie came to town Saturday
with money, paid off some bills
and a note at the International
State bank, and was seen about the
city and on the East Side by peo-
pie who knew him. Sunday even
ing he was seen on the East Side
in. company with strange man
and woman, and at about 10 p. m.
nine shots were heard in that
neighborhood; but were, not located.

The Mesilla valley of New Mexico shipped over
the United States thousand carloads of canta
loupes this season. Every melon bore a wrapper
telling the place OF its origin, but there could have
been more effective advertising had the shipping
association supplied placards for use in cafes and
hotels announcing that the melons served were pro-
duced in New Mexico.
Even at railway lunch counters within this state
there was nothing to reveal that the luscious prod
ucts were home grown. Travellers to California were
often heard commencing the excellence of what
were supposed to be Rocky Ford, Imperial valley or
Salt River decacies.
The Harvey system and the Santa Fe railway
should give deserved publicity to the Mesa valley
