WASHINGTON. Jan. Slope OF

the democratic national committee,
at it's jackson day banquet
Tho president. many republicans
and democrats agreed. after carefully
reading wilson's letter. has closed
the door upon any compromise which
would command the votes Of 81 sen
ators. Since he has chosen 10 make
the treaty an issue In the coming
campaign, there IL no way that II

league IL. / shall have no objection.
There can be no reasonable objec-
ton to interpretations accompanying
the act OF ratification itself. But
when the treaty IL acted upon / must
know whether Il means that we ratl-
fled or rejected g. We cannot re-
write this treaty We must take II
without changes which alter It's
meaning. or leave It and then, after

william J. Bryan's split with VII.
son will have no effect on the treaty

SEVERAL senators pointed out that
even il the democratic members
should align themselves with Bryan
and accept the Lodge reservation on
Article 10. which Is virtually what
y IN advocated in his Jackson day
speech-the resulting ratification by
the senate would never become effec-

NATIONAL PARK IN sACRANiENTos.

Cato Sells, commissioner of the Indian bureau, has
aroused tempest of protest from southern New
Meyico parts of Texas by seeking bids from lum
Der men for fifty million feet of timber to be cut on
the Mescalero Indian reservation, The purpose Is
announced to be to funds for purchase OF adj
ditional cattle for Apaches on the reserve.
While forestry officials hold that mature timber
should be removed and would be replaced in a
decade or two, lovers of the wild do not believe that
the reserve in the Sacramentos should have the axe
applied and the giant trees taken away leaving but
stumps and small timber, no matter how geomet-
rically orderly might be the appearance OF the
remaining growth.

OUR CANDIDATES.

By the happy choice for president of the honored
senator from Ohio the Republican party has secured
standard bearer of very patriotic American type,
clear and common sense thinker.
The country has been filled with the clamor Of
radcasrh Many people have been swept off their
feet by false propaganda. Quacks and 'demagogues
and shallow thinkers gain great following of I'M
thinking people for their half baked notions In
all this fog and mist social turmoil the country
needs leader who stands for clear commonsense.
practical thinking. We want who can do
things not one who will dream dreams.
Senator Harding is in every respect one of this
type He is a man emnently calculated to unite
the party.
At time when the split between the Progressives
and the straight Republicans was deep and bitter,
and when the Democratic tide still strong, Mr..
Harding was elected senator from Ohio by 10000
plurality. This remarkable achievement testifies to
the strength of his personality and the breadth of
his appeal
In nominating Governor Coolidge for vice pres-
dent the party conforms to the principle which so
often has been ignored that the candidate for the
lower office should be man of the first order Of
ability Governor Coolidge has made himself fore
most national figure by his sturdy stand for law ard
order and his democratic sympathies

to be presented at primaries conventions. All
this requires lot of preliminary work. The people

THE ENTHUSIASM OF YOUTH.

. -
Many people during the iastSfew weeks have been
attending ball games and other sporting events at
colleges and schools They must have been i'm
pressed by the tremendous enthusiasm of youth, of
its vast capacity for eXertion in in which it
is Interested - '-''t '.'-'' 80
The same boy who drags along with his study, his
tired head resting his anguid arm will rouse into
the most feversh activity at the ball game He will
fairly tear his throat pieces with the vehemence
of his enthusiasm.
1t is very inspiring to see how the young crowd
will throw itself into these sports. There seems no
limit to their energy, they go through with long
and gruelling competitions and yell for their com
rades through long afternoon.
The participants may seem at the end of their
powers. Then their Tagging strength spurred or
by encoura cement of loyal rooters they will go
to even greater exertion and beat previous records
1t may seem singular thing that the boy who
feels that the success of his athletic team is such
tremendously vital thing cannot usually feel the
same concern his own personal success in study
and preparation for life.
However, this school and college spirit, which ex
presses itself so theoretically the athletic field
is going later to show itself in other and more per
manent ways. These boys who throw themselves
into pastmes that seem to older people of no per
manent value, will later throw themselves with the
same spirit and determination into the pursuits o.
manhood It's good spirit, and one loves the boys
for the enthusiasm they put into the efforts tina
mean much to them.

State Administrative Consolidation

possible. Illinois, through the great
er elasticity of her new form of
government, was able to meet every
emergency Of the war without an ex-
traordinary session of the legisla-
ture.
New Mexico, in striking contrast,
found it necessary to have an ex-
traordinary legislative session and
it would appear from chapter 'l29.
Session Laws, 1919, that certificates
of Indebtedness in the amount oil
$4,000 were required to be is
sued to meet her war emergencies.
Further reporting the effect of
this Illinois consolidation act, di-
rector of finance, Mr.. Omar ID.
Wright, on February 4. 1920, re-
ported as follows: "Our htate tax
rate was decreased II per cent in
1918 and 20 per cent in 1920.
This Appropriated about $4,000
900 per annum. Aside from this
reduction the revenue fund of the
state treasury, when Governor
Lowden was inaugurated, was less
than 100000. On January 1,
1920, this fund amounted to nearly
SIG, 000, 900" BY way of interpo-
lation, the general property tax
rate in Illinois was thus reduced
to SO cents ON the hundred dollars.
Please contrast the same with the
rate in New Mexico as given by
Governor Hagerman.

NECESSITY OF ORGANIZATION.

The result of the campaign made in behalf OF
Herbert Hoover for president beautiful illus
Itration of the necessity of political organization
Mr. Hoover had very larFe support throughout
1.-The country. The Literary Digest poll showed him
among the three leaders, with total not far below
he top. But he failed to get the votes of ten dele
\ ates at any of the ballots at Chicago. This is
IN interesting fact that will very strange to a
lot of people.
The reason is simple enough Mr. Hoover had no
good organization behind him. He was favored by
a group of highly intelligent people, like college
teachers minister's and other prof aisonal men. and
a good many business men. But most of them had
not been active in politics. They did not know how
to take hold TO accomplish political result As a
result they got nowhere.
To accomplish anything one must organSe. and
form systematic plans for presenting case 70 the
