as he sat in the shade on the lawn and

river, twice. The river looked like
q broad silver ribbon. The sensation
Of riding was very pleasant, the only
indication Of swift motion being the
appearance Of the landscape far below

"rruly a remarkable performance"
said Judge William S. Raymond in
commenting on the event. Three
years before the birth Of Mr.. Glover,
in 1928, the first steam railroad was
put into operation in the United
States near Baltimore. The engine
was made with a vertical boiler, and
instead Of a piston rod, q belt was
used to turn the wheels. And now we
find man born at a time when such
primitive means Of locomotion were
first used, rushing through the clouds,
miles in the air at a speed seldom
euualed by the fastest express train"

DISCUSS length
D SCHOOL TERN
Speakers at the Meeting Fa.
vcr Nine Months in the
Grades.

Last nights meeting Of the patrons
Of the schools Of the Union lndepend'
ent district was full Of earnest argu'
ment and some amusing incidents.
The attendance at the meeting was
small but everyone present showed
real interest in the schools and the
meeting was a success.
A petition signed by some 200 PEG
pie was presented for consideration.
This petition was for the introduction
Of manual training and domestic SCI
ence and for a nine months term. Up
TO the present time the grade schools
Of the district have had but eight
months. Manual training and domes-
tic science have never been taught
and It was the general belief Of the
patrons last night that the addition
Of these subjects would necessitate
the longer school term.
R. A. Johnson gave a talk in favor
Of the petition in which he stated
that he realized that increased taxa
ton would be necessary and that be
believed that the people we're willing
to stand for such an increase.
John c. Mckinney, Jr., made few
remarks and in defending the school
system Of West Virginia he stated
that in Ohio. which ranks high in an
educational way, there was a school
just last winter that had but a six
month term and the colored children
went to the same school with the
white children. He was interrupted
by woman who jumped up to defend
her native state Ohio. An argument
then ensued but was finally inter.
rupted by H. D. Robinson who said
that the question was not Ohio but
West Virginia
Among those who spoke were =.
P. Robinson, Levi B. Harr, Mrs. H. H.
Rose, Mrs. Levi B. Harr, Mrs. James
Quinn and Mrs. Traugh. All spoke ~
favor Of the petition and there seemed
little to do but endorse Il but Presi.
dent Harry Shaw then gave a talk
after which there was some doubt
about whether it could get by. Mr..
Shaw pointed out that they should
do what would be the best for the
children. He stated that he believed
that the eight months school was the
best for the children. With statistics
to hack him IN he showed that the
East side children were equally as
well informed and sometimes better
informed than the others. Mr.. Shaw
said he presented his own personal
opinion which he hoped would not
prejudice the board in doing the best
for the children. r
There will be a meeting next Mon.
day night Of the Board Of Education
when, 1t Is hoped. the question Of a
longer term will be settled.

SOCIETY GUSH.

The big metropolitan papers make
fun of the country paper, with its per-
sonals about Farmer Smith who has
just painted his barn, and the small
city dailies, with their many letters
from neighborng villages. Then they
print columns of silly detail regarding
the social higher-ups.
Every Sunday the society editors
dwell lovingly upon the costume of
Miss Jones. with her white satin and
irridescent sequnsi Miss Smith, with
her apricot chiffon taffeta with silver
lace and morning glories; Mrs. Robin
son, with her gown of lavender net,
and girdle of pale pink and blue rib
bon, etc, etc.
The absurd thing about metropoli-
tan journalism is that it picks out
some narrow circle of the alleged Four
Hundred, calls it society" records its
doings with obsequious detail. Mean
while the mass of hard working people
are ignored unless they get into the
police court.
When you read that Farmer Smith
iidS lolhAtu MS yarn, YOU thos
something has been done to improve
The community and put it on better
economic basis. 1t is worth mention
ing, and Farmer Smith should have
his picture in the paper.
But when you read how the -Four
Hundred are parading around in their
party clothes, you read about some-
thing that if no benefit to the COM
munity, and much of which repre-
sents mere extravagant spending. 1t is
of no more significance that Mrs. Got
rox has a new party DRESS than that
Mrs Corntassel has new checkered
apron. Both are equally worthy of
being mentioned in the newspaper.
Also Mrs. Corntassel is doing good
work with the apron, while Mrs. Cot
rox may be wasting her husbands
money.
Wherefore If you want TO get real
rustic provincialism, buy big met
ropolitan Sunday newspaper, and read
its society gush.

ASTOUNDING, IF TRUE.

Now and then something comes to
light that is so regrettable one wishes
it could have been kept under cover
provided, of course, the exposure
wasn't necessary to the public well
fare, Such is the recent exposure re-
garding the Browning machine gun.
Testifying before the house investi-
eating committee, Chief Statistician
Ayres of the army stated that the
Americans had plenty Browning ma :
chine guns on hand in the summer of
1918, and that the supply at the front
was ample, but that they were sell
dom used because of the fear that
the Germans might capture one of
them. Once in their possession, he
said, the Germans would discover the
secret of their wonderful efficiency,
manufacture the gun rapidly and turn
our weapon upon our own boys.
Representative oscar Bland, a mem
her of the subcommittee, was with
General Pershing in France in 1918.
He says he remarked to the general
one day: 70 .iWell. general. see that
you are We'll equipped with the Brown
ing machine guns and ! suppose you
like them" The general replied. you

A SAMPLE OF PROPAGANDA.

A statement sent out from New
York this week said; More than 300
600 Finnish radicals in this country
are organized in revolutionary
movement in league with Russian
Reds, the Lusk legislative Investigate
ing committee announces. A student
Of Finnish methods testified that
there are 200. 900 White Firms in this
country who, she asserted, are vigor-
ously opposing the radicals"
Loyal Americans who might unhes-
itatingly accept these statements
might well be alarmed at such dis
closures. Fortunately the census hu-
reau's figures do not bear them out.
There are but $4,000 Firms in this
country. Is there anything one can
believe in these days of propaganda?
Yet never was there greater need for
strict statement of fact.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-01-13

from what I saw of that one I judge
it is all right"
The hearing disclosed that the army
had few of these guns for use, but
that Just before the armistice was
signed numbers of them We're rushed
to the front and that the army had
plenty of them after the fighting was
over.
If Staustican Ayres' statement,
that the guns were not used because of
the fear that the Germans would cap
ture one of them, learn its death-deal-
ing possibilities manufacture the guns
quickly and turn them against our
own men, is not true, he should be
punished. If the statement is true
the person or persons responsible for
such policy should be exposed and
court-martialed or impeached, ac-
cording to whether the the official po-
sition neld was military or civil.

SIXTY APPLICATIONS
FOR DEPUTYSHlPS IN
REVENUE DEPARTMENT
tsreelAl eossssronosnee 70 nosnlno louRnAll

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Santa Fe, Jan. 12.--Something like
sixty applications for deputyships un-
der Internal Revenue Collector Hatch
have been received by democratic
headquarters. 1t is astounding how
many men are willing to give up good
positions in order/to work for the gov
eminent at less salaries, or are will
ing to sacrifice brilliant careers as
lawyers, physicians and in other pro-
fessiOns for the sake of government
salary of $500 to $1,000 a year or less
than 81 day. The lure of the gov
eminent job is irresistible Some OF
the recommendations offered include
letters from United States senator's
famous persons in every walk of life
ard les ding politicians. Hatch w t.
ave the appointment of bat few per-.
sons as civil service covers most Of
the positions, Former Assistant Sec
rotary of State Adolph p. Hill whp
was Hatchs principal rival for the
internal revenue collectorship, is the
leading candidate for the chief
deputyship and is likely to land it.
