To Fight Assigned Cars
Northern West VirginiaS were inter.
ested In Wednesday evenings special
meeting on assigned cars. There were
liberal, discussions on the subject.
Attorney Charles Z. Goodwin, MOI
gantown, W. Va, addressed the meet
ing on the evils OF assigned cars. In
detail he reviewed the situation along
the Morgantown and Wheeling rail-
road in Northern West Virginia. he
told OF how Northern Pacific railroad
assigned cars were sent into the region
and on frequent occasions the CONNER
cial coal loading was very much re-
stricted because Of the use Of the as
signed car.
George T. Bell executive vice presi-
dent OF the Northern West Virginia

operators in that section desired quick

The conference went on record as
being in favor OF employing every
means necessary to fight the assigned

Andrews Tells About Transportation.
One Of the most important reports
made before the third annual meeting
OF The National Coal Association TO-
day was that OF ". L. Andrews, Balu-
mnre vice nresidpnt of The ConSOlida-
ton Coal company, who is in charge Of
transportation for that concern. Al
length Mr.. Andrews reviewed the Sit
uatlon and told Of the various confer:
ences that were held, which included
q meeting on April 5 and at Pitts
burgh with the representative OF the
American Railway Association. He
incidentally said that the conference
failed to produce an agreement and II
was decided to put the stenographic
notes Of the conference up 10 the Inter
state Commerce commission.
From what could be gathered 1t IS
believed that the commission thought
that the assigned car was the only
way railroads could get their fuel,"
but the speaker added, perhaps at
that price," that is, their own low
price. Mr.. Andrews contended with
certain Interstate Commerce commits
sioners that the country would be bet
ter of Just as soon as they decide once
for all whether assigned cars are to be
legalized or abandoned, preferably the
latter. y
AZ the conclusion Of the reading Of!
the report Mr.. Andrews read as fol-
lows: ut is recommended that the
general counsel of'the National Coal
Association Immediately establish
their illegality and take the necessary
steps TO bring about their discontinue

ROUND NUMBER ONE.

This editorial is purposely written before the out
come of Tuesdays political caucuses is known.
1t is written to emphasize the fact that, whatever
the outcome this is only round number one in fight
to the finish for the program which stands at the
head of this column.
Except for chance blow, fights are not won in
the first round. The relative advantage the end of
the first round rarely tells the story the outcome.
We have travelled far in two months Then it was
regarded foolhardy for to propose our program
We advised against the possibility Of success.
Today great party in the state is certain before
this editorial is printed to have declared for it with
great enthusiasm and to have named candidate for
governor who is ardenty and courageously for that
platform. Thus almost one-half the people of the
state stand committed to it by the official action of
their party.
Today the only avowed candidate for governor
of the other great party stands squarely upon that
platform and is rapidly moding the sentiment of the
party for these reforms He may fail of the nomina-
ton but he is certain have elevated himself to the
place of great leader of his people by having forced
reluctant group at the head of the party to formally
acknowledge these reforms in the party platform.
Thus he will be leader in his right and not by
virtue of the argess Of sef-consttuted bosses Yes,
we have travelled long way in two months.
Local issues and local quarres have complicated
matters in Bernallo county. The great fundamental
issues have obscured by less important matters
The fact remains that the overwhelming sentiment
of Bernalillo county is for our reforms.
Entrenched privilege resists by claw and teeth,
being routed from its position We have felt the claws
and the teeth. We have had to fight part of the
time in the mre. The spectacle bad but the
principles for which fought none the less
the peoples rights.
And we have only just begun to fight. Can any
believe that New Mexico be returned to the
condition of apathy upon these great questions in
which it was when the Journal tore the lid off?
Our aspiration is to be of service to the people
through the riumphs of these reforms We have in
deed travelled long way.

ABOUT BOIiTING.

We have been criticized for intimatng that If
the republican party fails to give us a forward
looking platform and sincere candidate, while the
strained to support the democratic state ticket.
Upon statement we stand ground. The
journal is not party organ and has not professed
to be- 1t has republican leanings and would prefer
to support republican state ticket
1t is not necessary to nominate the candidate
whom the Journal favors in order to its sup
port. Any free, untrammeled and sincere candidate
will suit
The issue is one of reform. If the republican
party in New Mexico is to be the party of reaction
are out of sympathy with its program.
If We convinced that the program and candi-
date of the democratic party will best serve the
people of New Mexico. in vital respects we will
most certainly follow conscience ..~
This is not threat; it is plain statement of
fact Would anyone honor the position of party
loyalty regardless of views of its harmful pol
iciess
Our fight Is TO restore popular government.
Parties, with us, are n means to that end. If one
party fails to function to that end consistency would
drive us TO the other Such course should not be
taken lightly. The cause must be vital.
We have been accused of trying to boss the re-
publican party We have attended conference
done single act except to attempt to arouse
republicans to take charge of their party.
Bosses seek to thwart the will of the people. not
TO arouse them to action. We may seek influence
by disinterested service. The boss seeks power.
There is vast difference between influence and
power. There is a vast difference between urging

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

Objection to the women casting a vote in the
republican caucuses in Albuquerque Tuesday, is an
illustration of the extent to which otherwise LIBERAL
minded citizens will go to carry political point.
The anti-reform group did not dare to openly in
Vite the to participate. They knew that
they were almost unanimously for reform
Knowing the sensitiveness of most women about
being whore they are not wanted where there may
be unpleasant controversy over their participation,
these gentlemen had the of the interests an
nounce that the women would not be permitted to
vote. 1t well known that this would prevent
most women from offering themselves for the priv
ilege of voting. The effect to throttle the pop
ular will
The call gave women the right to sit in the con-
ventOns. The inference is fair and complete that
they could participate in the selection if they were
eligible to be selected Empty, indeed, is the honor
if power to participate in creating the personnel
of the convention is given them.
The women will not easily forget the ruse prac-
tced upon them by these worthy gentlemen who
profess a theoretical belief in women's rights but
deny them in practice.

people to do duty and attempt to lull them
to sleep and usurp their functions.
We are making fight to liberalze the party
in the belief that progressive and thoughtful people
can only so be held loyal to it.
If the forces Of reaction are in control we believe
the party is doomed to become a minority party
without regard to the attitude of any particular
newspaper.
We are looking to the salvation of the party, not
to its destruction. The reactionaries say: let us
alone in our control you will ruin the party by
the disturbance you create" We answer that left
to them, the party is certain of defeat,
Boss rdden New Mexico will be boss-ridden no
longer.
We hope for platform which will make its own
appeal The cry of party regularity is a poor
argument in this latter day.
If a Of service to the public will permit
us to support the republican party we will surely
do so.

Don't waste your time, but keep right on
Or you'l have to stay when the hour is gone.'
Or maybe the maid looks in at me --
And says: You're not playing as can see,
Just hustle along--Tve got work to do
And can't dust the room until you get through"

And Mother called down to me Don't forget
A full hour please. It's not over yet"
Oh, when I get big and have children, too,
There's one thing that will never do
won't have brothers to tease the girls
And make them mad when they pull their curls
And laugh at them when they've got to stay
And practice their music an hour day.

that the advancement of the
schools of Curry county during the
past five years has been remark
able; they will find that Supern-
tendent Buckley has built up
through consolidation six or eight
of the best consolidated schools
that can be found not only in this
state but outside as well. These
high school work and all of the
boys and girls Of Curry county are
being we'll taken care of and most
of them have a truck conveying
them from their door to school.
What other county in the state OF
New Mexico can this be said OF,
and what other county superinten-
dent or school man has done SO
much?
l trust that when the intelligent,
far-seoing democrats of this state
select their Grew" that is to steer
the old ship to victory in Novem-
Der, they will not forget this worthy
man, James NJ. Buckley, who is not
only worthy Of being state superin-
tendent but who might be well con-
sidered not only a member of the
crew but rather the pilot of the
ship.

Hillsboro, n. NJ, Aug. q, 1920.
Editor Albuquerque Journal:
one day this week / received a
program of the Curry county insu-
tute which l am sending to you. 1t
seems to me that this program is
almost ideal. Certainly, it does not
take more than one glance TO prove
the right of this new system of in
stitute over that of the old one.
Permit me to state, furthermore,
that due to that, l think, unjust law
Superintendent Buckley will not be
eligible to reelection and in view of
the fact that our democrats are
about to hold their convention for
the purpose of selecting their team
seem to me that 1t might be well
worth their time to investigate the
work, character, ability and power
of this man-BiCkley for state su-
perintendent. He has served well,
his county, Curry-for at least five
years. having been appointed at
first to fill out the uneXpired term
of l.. C. Mersfelder and having been
elected twice by the people, both
democrats and republicans of Curry
county, ...
If these gentlemen - the loyal
democrats of New Mexico-will in
vestigate Bickley's record as a
county superintendent they Will ma
a school spirit that can not be eX-
celled in any other county in the
state: they will find that the teach
ers of his county are almost to a
teacher behind him; they will find
