BELIEVES IN RAINBoWs.

Chicago man, interviewed in Washington
where the speeding evil is perhaps at its worst,
expressed the hopeful belief that in 10 years hence,
a will be safe the streets of any big
city as on a battlefield 1t must be delightful to
tote this brand OF rainbow sunshine around the
country. But it twists ordinary mans curiosity
to understand how any American, free as the air
to jump for his life at 80 per cent of all street
crossings, gets that way
Ten years is a relatively long period in the life
of an Individual but a short time in the evolution
of national habit. 1t is theoretically impossible
that in 10 years motor drivers will have placed
under close restraint their impulse to over
every pedestrian they see desperately trying to
carry his life in safety across street or outlying
highway. 1t Is possible, but difficult to believe
that such happy day is so close.
The traditional beggar on horseback Is fee
BILE minded infant compared to the modern red
blooded 101 per cent motor car driver. Alcohol
is said to be the great agent to steal away mems
brains. Today have developed the dope In
dustry as a national pastime and enterprise. But
neither moonshine, home-brew or drug dope can
ever hope to equal the seductive influence which
your pneumatic tired wheels throw into man the
instant he feels them revolve under him. The
man who thinks that In 10 short years human
life will be as safe in the streets of big American
city as on a great battlefield has faith enough to
go hunting pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
HUMAN WEAKNESS IN JURY BOX
(From the Milwaukee Sentinel)

In Sacramento, Calf, recently two handsome
scapegraces stole automobile, valued at $4,000.
The facts established and the jury of six men
and six women found difficulty in agreeing as to
the guilt of the defendants.
But the women stood soldly against convic-
ton on the charge of grand larceny which was OBJ
viously the only correct verdict. They insisted, and
finally prevailed, finding the prisoners guilty Of
petty larceny and a verdict accordingly rem
dered to that effect much to the disgust of the
court who gave utterance to some obiter dicta en-
trely uncomplimenary to the jury, its intelligence
and its appreciation of the duties of citizenship.
This incident, 1t is contended by some COM
mentators serves to prove the frequent allegation
that women jurors cannot be relied upon to return
verdict which will inflict particular pain upon
good looking masculine offender The fact that
the six women the jury in question rushed to
congratulate the prisoners after the verdict was
rendered, is adduced additional proof OF this con-
tention and a convincing argument against their
fitness to serve Jurors
But this argument, powerful as 1t may be- is
somewhat impaired by the welknown fact that
it is generally impossible to induce a jury Of men
to find a good looking woman guilty of anything
more than a misdemeanor, even IL her infraction
Of the law proceeds to the extent of getting rid OF
undesirable husband a formidable rival by
means of pistol.
1t would seem to the candid observer that the
ends of justice more dangerously subverted
by the acts of women Jurors who permit good look
ing young malefactors of the sterner to escape
deserved punishment than they by the per-
Torrance of male Jurors who insist giving at
tracve feminine defendants considerable more than
the benefit of the reasonable doubt which the law
requires.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
ROAST APPLES

"Have we any matches in the
bungalow" asked Uncle Wiggily
one day of Nurse Jane Fuzzy WuZ-
zy, the muskrat lady housekeep-
err.
Matches? why, of course we
lave matches, Wiggy," answered
Nurse Jane. "But I hope you
aren't going to set fire to the pi-
ano"
Indeed not!" laughed the bum
ny gentleman. I need the match
es for Johnnie and Billie Bushy-
tail, the squirrels, whom / see
coming down the woodland path"
"Oh, my goodnN, me, sakes
alive and a bushel of candy kis-
ses!" cried the muskrat lady. II
never can let those little squirrel
boys play with matches. Mercy
moi"
"They aren't going to play with
them," laughed Uncle Wiggily. az
am going to take the matches and
go off in the woods with the SPUR
rels to build a fire"
"What for?" Nurse Jane wanted
to know.

So Nurse Jane gave the bunny
gentleman some matches. Mr..

with apples, and by the time John

chaps, as they capered about I'm

"Tm going to eat ten roasted
apples!" cried Billie.
$50 am II" said his brother.
Maybe eleven!"
Uncle Wlggily said nothing, but
he twinkled his pink Nose and he
thought to himself:
II don't want those squirrel
boys to become greedy little chaps.
Ten apples each will be too many.
They must not be greedy or self
ish!"
Soon the three friends were In
the woods. Uncle Wiggily took
the apples out of his tall silk hat
where he had carried them, and
began to make the fire. Billie
and Johnnie counted the apples
and found there were only ten
altogether. Think of that!
II don't see how we can have

ten apples for ALL of us." whis-
pered Billie to his brother.

answered Johnnie. II want a lot

squirrels sort of shuffled their
paws in the dried leaves. rather
impolitely.
Uncle Wiggily said nothing. but
he twinkled his pink nose again as
he put the ten apples in the hot
embers Of the fire to roast. Then
he and the squirrel boys sat about
on tree stumps, waiting for the
apples to cook. Soon a most love-
ly smell filled the air. The apples
were baking and the sweet juice
was bursting through the brown
skin.

"Well. have some of our baked

out another word Mr.. Longears
passed three apples to the Wood
chuck.
ooh, thank you!" exclaimed the
hungry animal, eating them as
they cooled. Billie and Johnnie
looked at one another. There were
only seven apples left now!
They'll soon be ready for you
to eat" spoke Uncle Wiggily, but
just then a poor old mud turtle
stuck his head out from under a
stone and shiveringly said:

LET GEORGE DO 1T

LEI SEoltuE III IL
Editor Journal:
1 enjoyed reading communica-
tons from Observer and Citizen
under the head of "As the People
View 1t" in Mondays Journal. but
I had to laugh at your Editorial on
Corrupt Practice Act"
My personal like for you pre-
cludes an expression Of opinion as
to your judgment, or lack thereof,
in advocating such for New Mexi-
CO. If general talk can be given
credence there must have been
more than 100000 spent by the
Republican party In last weeks
Senatorial election, and the DEM
ocrats spent every dollar they
could raise. The plain truth, were
it available. would startle. Men
and women, otherwise fair and
honorable, many Of them, seem to
cast aside all scruples in matters
political. If they do 1t voluntar--
lily then they should be stayed
therefrom. If In match" the OPP
position, as is frequently claimed,
then the cause must bemoved.
We indulge the hope that the
entrance of woman in politics
would purify" same, but the same
old story of man hiding behind
women's skirts is being repeated
and is going to make bad matters
worse unless the true women are
alert and respond to their great
responsibility.
The New Mexican has repeat
edly charged that there was 49,
900 of Republican money spent in
Santa Fe county in the Senatorial
election, intimating that same, or
much thereof, came from the
outside" Your Journal said "at
Santa Fe, some local group raised
a considerable sum Of money and
spent 1t improperly. Just who Is
responsible can not be stated we
note a statement in Tuesdays
Journal quoting Judge Reed Hol-
loman as stating that the expen-
diture for election purposes (enu-
merating items thereof as)
amounted to only $3.50. Judge
Holloman has the reputation
| Of knowing what is going
! on" whether it be In his
Court room or in politics, and II
| he Is correctly quoted in above
then our imagination is entitled
to and is ready to work for not
one cent of said $3.50 would in
! dictate any illegitimate use, and
| nobody that has ever heard of
| election methods in Santa Fe
| county, could think of any sort
OF election being held in Santa
Fe county without the illegitimate
use of money therein. Then too
$4,000 would not be any too much
to use on such an occasion and in
such a county IL the "old game"
is to be played and results are to
be had, but we do think that the
| New Mexican should be able to
| furnish some tangible evidence OF
from where said money came, and
for what purposes and by whom
same was used. The public has
a substantial right and interest in
such matters, and II this informa-
tion can be obtained and openly
revealed without subjecting to Ii
bel laws then 1t should be made
4 available.
The voter who sells his vote is
none less reprehensible than the
one who buys same or furnishes
the money for such use, so we
lave more than the voter; who
thus abuses his right Of franchise

VERSE OF TODAY
LAUGHTER,

LAUGHTER
Nothing there is varied apart
Than different peoples laughter; young
girls
That like a ripping silver streamlet purls;
A hypocrite's that makes one writhe and start.
So plainly it reveals crooked heart;
A lovers, breaking whispered word;
young wife's lyric mating Bird
An actors, subtle with consummate art
The bubbling mirth of gay tempered child,
That finds the world constructed for his play;
The nervous giggle of spinister, gray
With wondering how others Love beguiled
And saddest, covering mothers fears,
The little smile that is kin to tears

Albuquerque Morning Journal,
Albuquerque, N. M.
Dear Sir: had the pleasure Of
reading a copy of your paper to-
day. Albuquerque is certainly to
be congratulated on having such Il
live, up-to-date newspaper.
A live newspaper is one Of the
best town-builders In existence.
Your city must believe:
That the city that gets publicity
gets the business.
That the city that gets advertis-
ing grows.
That advertising a city is a bus
mess, not child's play.
That people will go miles to get
to a good live city to trade.
That your property will in
crease In value when the outside
world knows that your city is
wide awake. ...
That people from neighboring
towns will come where there is
something doing.
That the city which does not
seek something better than it now
has, Is going to lose out.
That now is the time your city
and business need advertising more
than ever before.
That II you don't get out and go
after the outside trade, some
neighboring city will.
That IL they do. they will get the
business you should get.
Yours very truly,

Mr.. Turtle. However, take some Of
our hot baked apples under the
stone with you. They'll keep you
warm. And with that Uncle Wig
gily took a stick and poked four
hot, roasted apples toward the
Turtle. The Turtle raised up the
stone. let the apples roll under
1t and then he let the stone drop
back in place again. for it was the
front door of his house.
Nov I'll be nice and warm" he
said. Billie and Johnnie looked
sad. There were only three apples
left now! And, all Of a sudden out
of the bushes jumped the bad old
Wolf!
"Oh, ho!" oh, ho!" howled the
wolf. I'm going to bite every
body!"
"oh, are you? Well I guess
mott" cried brave Uncle Wiggily.
And with that he took a stick and
rolled the three last hot baked
apples toward the Wolf. They
burned his nose and made him
howl "woww and then he ran
away after sma shing the apples as
flat as pancakes.
Dear mel" said Uncle Wiggily,
as he looked at the fire. "All our
baked apples are gone, boys!"
I'VE don't care" cheerfully
chartered Billie and Johnnie.
with the apples you helped the
hungry Grounding, you warmed
the cold Turtle and you saved us
all from being bitten by the
Wolf" And so Mr.. Longears had.
But the next day he found more
apples and roasted them for the
two squirrels. so they all had a
good time. And IL the pussy cats
tail doesn't tickle the face of the
clock and make its hands hide in
the keyhole, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and the butterfly.

more to redeem New Mexico than

for Germany This, more than any other single
point, seems to have hurried the newspaper to the
conclusion that the real spirit of the old monarch
list group has been broken and befuddled.
From these individual conversations the Eel
tung spreads analogy to the entire royalist
crowd and publicity expresses the judgment that
monarchy in any form will be re-established
In Germany. Late flareups in Bavaria and the
assassination of Erzberger are marked as isolated
fanaticism carry definite meaning in
tonal sense.
