JUST FOLKS
THOUGHT FOR AUTUMN.
Copyright. 1890. By Edgar A. Guest.

Autumn's comm on again. summers work is al
most done.
Fruits an trees an fields o. grain have their
richest garments on.
Now the humblest vine seems proud in bit O.
splendor dressed,
Sort O. satisfied to go, KNOWN it has done its
best.
Human like it seems to me are the things that
bloom and grow.
Some JUS the common run. some are raised
fer pomp an show;
the fall,
But when autumn comes along. nature glorifies
i, 'em all.
Gold an red an purple hues deck the common
est O. things,
An the simplest sprig that grows wears robe
too rich fer kings;
Nothin' stays neglected now, may scorn or
fail to find
Many hidden plant or vine, but God has 'em
all in mind.
Mebbe when our work is done and our autumn
time draws near +
We, too, like the growing things in rich gar

Look Sons in Face.

Editor Morning Journal:
In your issue of September you
quote Mrs. c. L. Collins of Clayton,
vice chairman of the democratic
state central committee, as follows:
II cannot understand a woman not
voting for the league of nations
Perhaps if she, or any other
woman, mother of a boy or boys,
would only read Article X of the
league of nations and Senator
Reeds address in the senate on the
subject, she, or other women.
would readily understand why
women should not vote for the
league of notions. Please note |
wrote notions, not nations.
'Twould be well for all mothers
of sons to strictly examine that
Article X, look their sons straight
in the face first. and then vote.
do not think many mothers would
dare vote for that which means
that to preserve the integrity of
Siam, Honduras or the HedgeZ or
Montenegro we stand ready to yield
our sons for overseas service in
the interest, not of America but Of
IUIltu lllllt COuilli It's blldl WIFI
behave themselves. And all this
Notwithstanding that our constitu-
ton says that the senate alone has
the power to declare war
These super governments and
super covenants are suspicious
that there is something rotten in
Denmark.
They want Uncle Sam to use as
cats paw to brush the burning
chestnuts off the hot stove of Eu-
ropean malice, envy, deceit, ha-
tired, conquest and politics. Let's
set our own house in order first
before flying to evils that we know
rot of.
would like to see the whole
country placarded thus:
American mothers, beware!"
american mothers, have you a
boy or boys? If you have. don't
betray them. but read Article X
of the league before voting"
am a democrat and all my
southern ancestors for four score
years, but this time please pass me
up voting may"

The following is from ''The Nation" a leading
socialist periodical:
'"Today Kansas has ceased to raise hell
and is turning out bumper crops of corn and
wheat As one goes through Ohio, Indiana,

barns and fine farm houses; it is a fat and

GUS promise. But the intellectual crops are

approving periodical. 1t asserts that "Townleyism

can be washed if the colors are
fast. First get it free from dust
by beating it or with a vacuum

lather (as heavy as shaving lather)
of any good white soap and water.
With soft brush this suds may
be spread on the rug, always with
the thought in mind of keeping up
strong frothy lather. After APP
plying, rinse it off with a soft
cloth or sponge which has been
wrung out of warm water. Do
only a small portion at a time.
Rinse each part as you work. being
careful to change the rinse water
as soon as it becomes dark in color.

For Better postoffice Service.

EG1tOf Morning JOuiIdl.
| am a resident of Albuquerque
and have had considerable expert
ence resulting from the mail serv-
ice of this city. Having lived here
| for three years / have had ample
opportunity to observe the methods
of this postoffice (if methods they
are supposed to be-.
Some of my mail has not only
been untimely delayed, but | have
lost two letters containing cheques
and have sent mail to Whitconb
Springs that was never received. !
have gone to the postoffice myself
to hunt up a registered letter
which | knew had been sent to me.
| found it there, too, and the date
of the postmark showed it to be
week late.
In hunting for this letter l was
impressed with their total lack of
system l know now, for a fact,
that some of the names on file at
that postoffice are not even in
dexed.
Upon discussing these conditions
with friends of this city ] find that
/ am not alone in my dissatisfac-
ton. One woman received Xmas
package in the month of May,
which had probably been laying all
that time in the local office.
They tell me the postmaster Is
short of help. If the government
sees fit to limit its working force,
then let those few who are en-
ployed be efficient and know their
business. Unless Mr.. Roehls po-
sition is a political one, why don't
the. people put a man into office
who can give this city the mail
service it is entitled to?
It behooves you. Mr., Postmaster,
to go through your office and es-
tablish all the work on some sort
of systematic basis. People are
willing to and can excuse an oc-
casional error in the postal service,
but continuous mistakes are not to
be tolerated. / do not believe in
criticism unless 1t makes for better
conditions. Therefore, Mr., POST
master, it is up to you whether this
criticism be idle or not.
Albuquerque Is proud of her
Chamber of Commerce. All right,
then please give us some mail serv-
ice that we can boast of. am
for a better Albuquerque.

But it does not always produce better government
In the times when people got excited over poll
tics they followed the acts of their public men very
closely An unfaithful public servant could not
easily get by that gauntlet of criticisms.
Sometimes tolerance degenerates into mere luke
warmness and indifference. The ideal way is for
people to take keen interest in public life yet to
be big enough recognize that there are two sides
to every question Most people can look back and
see where their political judgments were wrong, so
one should not be too dogmatc about his present
conclusions.

A Moving Movie Situation.

"A MOVING movie SItualiOH.
Editor Morning Journal;
wish to pass comment on the
article regarding the immoral and
indecent moving pictures shown in
our city.
The person who finds these inn
moral and indecent things in NOV
ing pictures is generally the person
who is looking for them. The die
tionary contains a great many inn
moral and indecent words, if a per-
son cares to look them up.
There are two different classes
of people who attend moving pic
ture shows. The following article
from a moving picture magazine
will illustrate these two types:
(The other evening | went to a
picture show. The play was as
sweet as the air of Home, Sweet
Home" The celluloid reels re-
vealed very little acting; mo pistol
shooting; no rough riding--but de-
pended upon pure heart-throbs of
true-to-life characterization. 1t
CHANGED that at my right sat an old
man, unkempt, wearing worn and
soiled garments. Instinctively l
drew away from his filth toward
the modishly clad girl at my left.
At the splendidly acted climax,
when, through force of unhappy
circumstances, two people who
loved each other dearly, were sep
arated--never to see each other
again-her voice still prattled on
about the new suit she had bought
and the number of card. parties she
had been invited to that week. l
glanced at the dirty, rough old
man, wondering if he too We're
bored. In amazement | saw two
tears trickle from the corner OF
his eye and lose themselves in the
grey-black maze that served as a
beard. | had found man with
a soul and a girl who had none.

the old man for a FRIEND)
There is a worthwhile lesson in
nearly every moving picture story,
but the real lesson can only be
found by the people who are look
ing for it. l.. j. X.

At first the bunny gentleman
managed to pull out a few bast-
ings, but it was not as easy as he
had thought, and he had to work
more and more slowly. Nurse
James claws and teeth were just
the things for pulling out the
threads, but Uncle Wiggily's paws
were not made for this work.
"Still, I'll do my best" said the
rabbit uncle.
He was working away. getting

basting threads. and it looked as
if Nurse James dress would not be

the answer, and the little hen girl

low. "Oh, Uncle Wiggily, let me

cackled Arabella. MY bill is just
made for such work"
Right gladly will let you do
it, said the bunny uncle. So. with
her bill, Arabella picked out all the
thread hastings from Nurse James
dress, and, just as the last one was
! out, the door was opened and the
funny old Skuddlemagoon stuck
his head in.
"Any souse today?" he howled.
"Now cackled Arabella, and she
gave him such nip on the nose
with her sharp beak that he ran
away, trailing a lot of basting
threads after him. And they tan
gled in his legs and he fell down
and bumped his nose. And when
Nurse Jane came back. after get

Much to the Point.

Editor Morning Journal:
Your four paragraphs In this
Monday mornings issue relative to
the home merchant are very much
to the point.
AS member of the "salary brig
ade," the writer has for many years
found the Albuquerque merchants
as a rule accommodating, patient,
and very fair in their dealings.
Human nature Is as prone to ex-
pect everything and give nothing
as it is to confess other peoples
sins. We need more mutual APP
probation and goodwill in our fair
city, and home trading is a great
incentive to this. Unfortunately,
some people seem to have for their
motto, Get all you can; trust and
appreciate nobody" Yours for a
square deal. d. S.
