Veteran Officers pissruntIed.


A score or two OF officers OF
the United States army, who
served In many fields and for many
years. are asking 10 be placed ON the
retired list. although they have some
years yet TO 20 before the axe limit
would compel retirement These ofii-
GERS are dissatisfied with the recently
announced promotions Of junior off,
GERS Of the army TO the rank Of briga-
dler general. These promotions would
compel many veterans Of the service
10 serve under the orders OF men
whom once they commanded and TO
whom many OF them taught the art OF
soldering.
Congress, II Il said. will conduct an
investigation into the manner and
method OF these recent promotions.
Favoritism Is charged and denied, and
so one may take his choice Of opinions
until the investigation. II IL shall be
made. discloses the absolute facts In
the case. The truth remains. however.
that many officers OF forty years serv-
ice suddenly found themselves ranked
by those whom the army terms young
sters.
Under the law, officers who have
served for 40 years may ask for re-
tIrement. This law has been taken
advantage Of by many Of the officers
and the service IL about 10 lose sea

the Apaches and the Sioux In the old
days. the Spanlards In Cuba. the In

No one has any conception of the
heart burnings which have been caused
by recently announced advances In
commanded divisions in France with
unquestioned credit suddenly found
themselves denoted and were given
orders 10 report for duty to men who
once had served under them. Con
gress probably will give the whole
thing an airing. and make an attempt
10 find out whether or not injustices
have been done and II so. why. II Is
probable II II Is found the old sol
dlers have been badly treated that
congress will do the only thing Il can
do for them that Is, pass a resolution
OF commendation for their good serv-
Ices and give them an advance of one
grade on the retired list. This has
been done before in good many in
stances.

II was not 80 many years ago that
men spoke Of the possibility of the

preston was used with no real thought
that the day ever would come when
any one congress would appropriate n
billion dollars. Now II II not simply n
billion-dollar congress. but u is much
more than n blllion-dollnr session for
each congress. No ones mind can con

dollars means. II would take much
more than lifetime to count II dol

presented by the Treasury depart
ment for the next fiscal year total the
enormous sum OF Sl.TOOOOOOOO

Last spring the house Of representa-
tives provided n rule for the Increase
In the membership of It's committee ON
appropriations. The Intention was to
put all the bills requiring the actual
appropriations of great sums OF money
into the hands OF this committee In
stead Of sending them. as as the case
In former years, to other committees.
There has been some difficulty In car

There is rather n pretty controversy
going on In congress over the matter
Of the expenses Of government The
Republicans naturally say that the
Democrats have been wocfully extrav-
agnnt ever since the present admins
tration came into power: and that ex-
trnvngance has become fixed habit
Is proved. Republicans say. by the
enormous size OF the estimates just

partment
The Democrats. OF course, reply
that IL cost great sums OF money 10

that while huge sums were spent. the

Gratis also say that II the Republicans

Some people say that this Is not

General Avaro Obregon, president-elect of Mex

The transition from administration to an

DECENCY WINS.

We have purposely refrained from election prc
dictions until the record was made up
llama and the entire democratic state tickle
will win. y minimum of 8, 900 independent repub
Iiseans will support Hanna. His majority will ex.
coed 5000.
All over New Mexico republicans are in an IN.
rising against the boss control which has so long
hcIu 'he state back and controlled it in the inter-
csts of the few.
The republican organization in New Mexico is
not truly and representatively republican. It has
fallen upon evil days In the hands of the maninu-
ators its majorities have fallen from 10000 a few
years ago to 100 two years ago and a minus
quantity now
Mono of the great national republican ideals
have characterized the party in New Mexico 1t
has been run by few in the interests of the few
The many have been imposed upon. Progressive
legislation has been denied the people. Special in
terests have written their own laws against public
interest. No primary law which would give the
people control has been permitted. No budget law
which would stop graft has been passed. Bad
faith has been shown in handling the childrens
land Labor legislation has been denied Women
and children have been given relief in the
law.
But deconcy and progress have chance.
Hanna will win. But there is most unconscious
able boss gerymander in the state which will de-
liver the Legislature to the bosses unless voters do
their duty The people can really win control Of
their affairs by getting to the polls and sup
porting the democratic senators and representa-
tives Never mind minor objections to the candi-
date. In matters of policy, outlined in the state
platform, he will be bound by his party's caucus
action
The redemption of New Mexico is assured if
the people get to the polls.

HOROSCOPE.
Monday, November 1, 1920.
Copyright, 1920. by Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.


Monday, November i, 1S2O.
The Sun and Jupiter are in bene-
fic aspect early today, according
to astrology. but Mars is adverse.
The rule seems to encourage all
persons who seek high office and
thus it is read that uncertainty will
mark the political situation on the
eve of election more decidedly even
than during the campaign.
This should be a fortunate sway
under which to push ambitious de-
signs of any sort.
1t is an suspicious time to seek
positions or new business connec-
tions.
Judges and lawyers of all de-
grees of successfulness should be
active while this configuration pre-
walls, for profit is at hand for
them.
There is a forecast Of great hon
ors for a man prominent in uni
versity work. He will render pub
lie service at a critical moment.
Strangely enough at this time,
the seers foretell that women who
vote will be disappointed in the re-
suits of their political efforts.
Intrigues and trades that are
confusing and perpleXing are indi-
Gated by the planetary government
that will dominate election day.
Mars is in a place that is read
as foreshadowing discussions and
quarrels among leaders of political
factions. Both the great parties
will be affected by this direction
Of the stars.
Mercury gives warning of per-
sonal attacks in the press that will
have but slight effect on candi-
dates.
Gossip of the most misleading
sort will be increasingly prevalent
until the beginning of the year, for
it will not cease when the ballots
have been cast.
The seers foretell a drop in
wages that will affect many trades
and demoraliZe certain lines of
business but readjustments are in
Dictated as likely to be rapid.
Suffering among the unemployed
is forecast, and the seerS declares
that there will be many without
work before the spring comes. This
may be due TO strikes which nave
been indicated as continual and nu-
merOuS.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the forecast Of a successful
and prosperous year, but they must
avoid quarels of all sorts.
Children born on this day may
be quick tempered but gifted.
These subjects of ScOrDio usually
are keen and alert. They prosper
greatly. Girls have the augury of
happy marriages.

81 WAS HUNGRY"
BY Rev. ID. p. Lawton, S. ~

To lesson the hardships of war-harassed lives
Our State. noble hearted, promoted great drives.
With zeal patriotic, she made all her own,
The fate of each National Liberty Loan.
To Hume, in the world, Democracy's lamp.
Her little ones purchased the War Saving Stamp.
Its great work to foster, she deemed II no loss
To answer the call of the Jealous Red Cross.
The ''Y" and the * c." and like mercy bands,
Her heart found responsive, and open her hands.
Nor did she hard hearted, Implying view,
The need of the hapless, and sore oppressed Jew.
And Italy also, likewise the Near East,
Found her benefactions by means the least.
But truce to these drives, she's done her full
share,
There calls nearer home that merit her care.
Our orphans at home in similar need
Can we? No, cannot ignore their appeal
To the breadless abroad, and these we must feed
Our hearts, to their peadings, unfeelingly, steel
IT'S true it will tax us, but then what we give,
Will help Gods afflicted less wretched. to live.
And He, who in bounty, is never outdone,
Our deed will reward when our life's race is run.
Who gives to the orphan, but lends to the Lord,
And He, in good time, will that kindness reward
BE it ours then this Drive, to make success,
By giving our mite to the orphans distress.
