Herbert Hoover did his hestatng at the wrong
tme far as his candidacy for the presidency was
concerned, but the right time made decision as
the welfare Of the national ticket is concerned
Hoover is progressive and forward looking. He
hesitated to re-affate himself with the republican
party after the war. for fear it might become too
reactionary
OF course his critics said he hesitaed that he
might decide where his personal interests lay. We
feel that charge TO be absurd,
Had Hoover been moved by weening per-
sonal ambition he could have professed to be scan
dazed by the republican platform and candidates
and have boed to the democrats with fair pros
pect of receiving the presidential nomination even
now
Hoover, instead, weighed and pronounced the
work of the republican convention good said that
it gave all progressives room to stand upon it.
From this position within the party the progressves
can fight to lberaze the party in accordance with
their varying views.
Hoover feels it is safer to move a little too slowly
than considerably too rapidly. For party to feel
its way carefully into things, through timid-
iy but through caution, is good failing, if 1t is a
failing The progressive wing will push the repub-
lican party on a constructive forwarding looking
program.
Rashness is not progressiveness: it is just plain
foolishness. AS have remarked before it takes
time to evolve the wise changes We pay the price
of agitation and unsettled conditions either before
or after the fact And it hurts the when it
comes afterward
The wise general moves up to ground he can

The journal is temperamentally progressive. We
find in Mr.. Hoovers attitude fair expression of
state of mind. We feel that all men who wish
to adopt a wisely progressive attitude will best
the cause of the common good in the ranks of the
republican party this year.

INTERNaTIONALISM.

There are people who feel that national patriot
ism is of date. They believe that we shall all
become united in great international brother
hood in which national lines would become negli-
gible factor. -
To get any efficient work done in this world
one must identify himself with a somewhat limited
community. The nation does many things that the
world is not ready to do. States do many things
that the nation can't do as we'll. Cities do many
things that states will not do.
If all to become internationaliss, we shall
be single atoms in great formless mass, too in
efficient and too little organized to DO anything well.
If we remain loyal to our country, shall be able
to organize life on the best working basis and ac-
complish the things that need now to be done at
home. The people Of the United States owe their
prosperity and their enlightenment to this form of
government They will protect and develop as
ISOLATION that is so beneficient.

A PREMATURE SQUEAL.

1.-THE New Mexico republicans and the republican
state tax commission advocate disfranchise-
ment of the electorate to all except governor and
lieutenant governor, leaving all other state officers
to be appointed by the governor Some pickin' for
the Bursums Hubbells etc. if it can be put over"
Nay The state tax commission has not advocated
the short ballot plan referred to by the Pcrtales
Journal in the above item. The state taxpayers
association non party organization is making the
proposition and will urge both party conventions TO
adopt resolution asking the legislature to submit
an amendment to vote of the people Neither re-
publican democratic leaders, generally, have
nounced their views intentions. The taxpayers
association proposes the change for purposes of
economy and efficiency. The state officers would
be chosen for fitness by governor, from the party
which might elect the chief executive. 1t is not
clear that such a change would be the advantage
of either party, that any of the gentlemen named
would favor the plan secure any benefit, any
more than it is that democratic leaders who need
not be named would enjoy the results.
