A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Suppose we We're to name some
OF your streets GREED, ENVY.
HATRED, MALICE, HYPOCRISY,
do you suppose many of us would
want to make our home in that
part OF the community, unless
we could prove by our mode OF
living that we were mis-named?
But would we not delight in lv-
ing on a street called HARMONY,
INDUSTRY, HAPPINESS, JOY,
JUSTICE, EQUALITY, MERCY,
or kindred names, when proof
bore out the fact that they were
named in perfect keeping with
the sort of folks who lived along
them, walked in them, and shared
to the full the responsibility of
keeping faith with them'

THE SUFFRAGE TEMPEST.

The atmosphere has been cleared
as to the suffrage question in New
Mexico. Representation had been
made in the east, as shown by a
press letter from the woman's
party leaders that republicans were
going to throw down the cause.
The letter from the woman's
committee in New York was pub
lished in the Journal Thursday.
1t bore evidence that they were be-
ing misinformed for the advantage
Of another political organization.
There was never an intention of
New Mexico or national leaders to
permit ratification to fail and con-
sistent work has been done to make
sure of satisfactory result here
and over the United states.
Representative Padiila says he
never had an idea of breaking any
pledge made by his party ut the
last state convention and his plan
was but to let local suffrage he
voted on at an election on an
amendment which he intended to
ask the legislature submit. The
party platform had pledged sub
mission of such an amendment,
and so it was his idea to adhere to
the platform plan, which was
framed before congress took action
But upon receiving unmistakable
evidence that the people of his own
county and the state were for seiz-
ing the opportunity given by the
shortcut that the republican con-
gress provided, to give TO women

Pumping For Irrigation Pays.

Springer Stockman: Many places
over the dry farming areas of this
part Of the state could be feasibly
irrigated by pumping and there are
some projects getting under way.
In some localities the electric mo-
tor is a desirable power and many
Of such installations are proving
very successful. A first class mo-
tor represents an investment of
about 80 per cent of the cost of
an oil engine of equivalent horse
power. The depreciation in an
electric motor is relatively small.
with a slight depreciation and low
investment two sources of. expense
are eliminated. When these are
considered as they should be cleo
trio power at q relatively high rate
unite often has an economic advan-
tage. The oil engine when well
housed and not overloaded is also
giving excellent satisfaction, This
tyne Of power is more generally
used for irrigation because of great
err accessibility. No farmer who
suffers from drouth should delay
getting some sort of an irrigation
plant if water can be developed
from any source.

Fort Sumner GrowIs

Fort Sumner Review: The re-
ccipts of the local depot were over
$4,000 greater for the month of
February this year than for the
same month last year. This con-
clusively shows how much more
business Fort Sumner is doing at
the present time than for the past
two years. A large amount of this
increase is directly tracable to the
oil companies, and which is expect
cd to become greater and greater
as the summer advances. Every
business house in the town is doing
a good business, while several of
them have employed more help
than heretofore.
More dwelling houses, more ho-
tells and rooming houses have been
the crying need here for more than
a year past, but there seems but
little prospect of any new buildings
going up; while all recognize the
need, everyone seems to be waiting
for building materials to go down
in price.

ceive immediate attention and that

tive. For his purpose Calotabs, the
perfected, nausealess calomel tab

agreeable laxative.

swallow of water-that's all, no
salts, no nausea. and no upsetting
of the digestion and appetite. Next

FOOD FOR UNITED STATES.

At the moment that food relief
for hungry Europe is commanding
closer official attention than any
thing else with the possible eX-
ception Of the peace treaty, two
ships are about due at New York
with few thousands of tons of
Danish vegetables and butter.
Carrying 5000 tons of foodstuffs
TO the one country under the sun
which has enough to undertake the
salvaging of human life in Central
Europe is a brilliant parallel to
carrying Goals to Newcastle. The
humor in the situation is not af-
fected by the pretended cheerful
ness in the announcement that
these 5000 tons of food will be
sold in New York at less than cur
rent American prices, and will have
a good effect upon, living costs in
the United States. Every Ameri-
can knows those two cargoes will

\ WISE DECISION.

The railroad wage controversy
which. after repeated postpone
ment. seemed to be being fastened
to a crisis by the approaching re-
turn of the roads to private owner
ship, has again been slowed down.
There is every reason to believe
that in accepting the presidents
proposals for adjustment the lead
ors will be approved by the mem
bership. At any rate the danger
of a labor crisis on the eve of the
release from governmental control
has been averted. The one prob
lem at a time will be sufficient to
test all the ability that can be
brought to bear upon its solution,
without being complicated by the
other
Unthinkable as a general inter-
ruption of transportation through
a labor controversy ought to be,
past adjustments have given no
assured method of amicable settle
ment that promised a permanent
basis of solution. The very settle
ments in turn started a now series
Of conditions that inevitably led TO
a repetition Of the problem, This
was frankly recognized all around.
The new proposals, if properly I'M
dcrstood, aim at a scientific basis
of adjustment on ascertained facts
and relationships, thus setting up
machinery that should be of per-
manent value.
In these nationwide utilities, up
on which the very life Of the nation
depend, their uninterrupted opera
ton is Of first consequence. At the
same time this operation should
not ask more from those concerned
in the operation, on either side,
than they should reasonably be ex-
pected to give. This implies that
some method of equitable adjust
ment must be supplied which will
protect alike the interests of all
three factors, the public. the COM
panies and the employees. That is
the purpose of the proposed meth
cd which appears to have been APP
proved by the mems leaders as a
fair experiment. Some such plan
for rational adjustment must be
found. 1t is impossible that the
vital interests of the whole people
should be left continually to the
issue of oppOrtunism.

EDUCATION AND LIFE.

A man who recently paid a visit
TO a college and talked with sew
cral of the professors was i'm
pressed by the idea that they and
their students seemed absorbed in
range of thought remote from
the conditions of everyday life.
out in the world the people are
struggling with problems Of pro-
duction and business and politics
and labor and industry 1t is all
intensely practical and rather ma
terialistic.
In the colleges much of the
thought is going into literature and
the dead languages and classic
studies and philosophy.
It would be a mistake, however,
to say that the colleges are not in
touch with ordinary life. They are
devoting a great deal of time to
teaching the duties Of citizenship.
They have no greater duty than
this. If young people are not being
turned out with stronger sense
Of civic duty and fitted to lead their
countrymen in the ways of prog
rcss, then their education is largely
wasted.
Also economics should be thor
oughly studied. There must be
strong leadership on the part of
educated people against quack
remedies and fake panaceas. Ev-
cry student also should be required
to study history thoroughly A
knowledge of the development of
the human race, Of the ideas that
this country stands for of the ev-
olution of other nations, is one of
the most vital preparations for
citizenship.
