EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
DE VALERA AND PARNELL.
(From the New York Times.)

(From the New York Times)
Mr.. de Valera frankly admits that the majority
Of the Irish people would lat the moment" vote
to ratify the treaty with England He seems also
to be that he will be outvoted in the Dali
Ereann. Why, then, does he proong hopeless
contest? Possibly he is consciously initiating the
course of Charles Stewart Parnel in 1890. In that
year Parnelps leadership of the Irish Nationalist
had become impossible account of his figuring
in a divorce suit The atory of the Irish mem
would not retire voluntarily, set about deposing him
But it took 10 days of meetings and impassioned
debate to do it. He presided the turbulent
sembly in the historic room fifteen, always imperl-
Gus, interrupting the speakers snatching papers
from the hands of an opponent and refusing to put
the decisive motion. In the end there was nothing
for the forty-five members to do but walk out and
leave Parnell in command of his twenty-six. The
whole, wrote that faithful friend of Ireland John
Morley, constituted "lamentable chapter" in the
"demented scroll Of amess and untoward things
that if they made up the history of Ire
land"
Sensible and patriotic Irishmen can wish to write
no more chapters OF that kind. The split due to
Parnelps obstinacy and arrogance deferred irish
hopes for twenty-five years If de Valera should
succeed in wrecking the treaty and tearing Sim
Fein asunder there is no telling how much longer
The motto of clear headed Irishmen today ought to
be to agree quickly with England and avoid the
risk of some mischance, some collision, some out
break that would set passions aflame again and
plunge all into chaos and misery once more.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND MIR.
RINGTAIL.
BY Howard B. CARTS

Uncle Wiggily came hopping up
the steps of his hollow stump bun
gaioW almost as soon as he had
hoped down one morning and
knocked on the door.
What is the matter now?"
asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy,
his muskrat lady housekeeper.
Did you forget your pink, twink
ling nose, that you came back in
such a hurry?"
ut is my red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch that |
forgot to take with me-. said Tn
Gle Wiggily. II feel a rheumatism
pain coming on, and 1 think I'd
better take my crutch with me
when ] go looking for an adven-
ture today"
"Oh, I'm sorry If you have a
pain" spoke Nurse Jane. Here
Is your crutch," and she handed
him his red, white and blue striped
rheumatism helper down off the
mantel, where 1t was trying to
tickle the face of the clock.
We'll, perhaps my pain will not
be as severe as it sometimes is,
and / may not need my crutch."
the bunny said. Anyhow. I'll
take it with me-"
So along hoped Uncle Wiggily
through the woods, carrying his
red, white and blue striped crutch
over his shoulder as he might
carry a fishing pole, for his rheu-
matism did not hurt then. 1t was
only that he thought it might sud
denly make him lame.
AS Uncle Wiggily hoped along,
the old Fuzzy Fox, looking down
out of his den, on the side of the
hill, saw the bunny and, lollng out
his red tongue, the Fox said to his
wife:
I'm going to trail after Uncle
Wiggily and get him"
If you do bring him home with
you SO I may nibble his ears!"
growled Mrs. Fox.
II will" said Mr.. Fox.
Off he sneaked through the
woods, going very softly and max
ing no noise, for that is the way
with a fox.
Uncle Wiggily hoped along and
along, and. all at once he heard n
rustling in the dried leaves of the
forest. The snow had melted and
the dried leaves were scattered
over the ground.
Dear me! I hope this isn't the
Wolff" thought the bunny. He
was just going to run when a kind
and gentle voice said:
you must be tired, Uncle Wig
gily. Please come in my den and
sit down."
ooh, A den! Can this be Fox!"
gasped the bunny.
mo, I am not Fox. am a
friend of yours" went on the
voice, and then kind animal face

FRANCE YIELDS.

AS to have been expected France has yield

the demonstration her representatives made has left
bad taste in the mouths of her friends in this

Americans who feel that the French, Of all peoples,

BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED
MAN IS FOUND IN ROAD
rs MILES OF GALLUP
Especial Correspondence to The Journal,)

Especial Correspondence to The Journal.)
Gallup, N. NJ. Dec. 26.-The
body of an unidentified man was
found Friday afternoon lying in
the middle Of the Farmington- GAL
lup road. at the foot of Tohatchl
mountain, about rs miles out from
Gallup. Two Indian girls coming
to Gallup from the Tohatchi school
saw the body lying in the road and
when they reached Gallup reported
the matter to the sheriff. Later in
the day the Pennington mail stage,
a two-ton truck, came upon the
body of the man also and later re-
ported to the sheriff. The man
was lying with his head In the rut
Of one track Of the road, which had
been cut in so deep that it was i'm
possible for the mail driver to turn
his car out, so it was necessary for
him to move the body from the
road in order to pass by without
passing over 1t.
Friday morning the sheriff with
the justice Of the peace went to the
place where the Dody had been re-
ported seen, and brought it to the
local undertaking company. The
mans neck had been broken in
some way. 1t is believed that he
fell from the rear of an automobile
as 1t was speeding down Tohatchi
hill over the rough roads. He was
a young man between rs and 80
years of age. and about six feet
tall. There was absolutely no mark
Of Identification on his person. A
large, broad brimmed hat which he
wore showed that 1t had been pur-
chased in a store in Los Angeles
The man apparently had been a
member OF the navy, Judging from
his appearance. He was we'll de-
veloped and robust appearing
and chest were covered with tat
tooed figures of every description.
On one arm there was tattooed the
head of a wolf and under 1t the
words, Lone Wolf" A name, per-
haps his own had once been tat
tooed on his chest. but this name
had later been >obliterated.
It is believed that the man hop
ped on to the rear OF a passing au-
tomobile and that he was thrown
from the car as 1t went down the
steep hill and that his neck was
broken in the fall. He had been
seen earlier in the week walking
along the road. At this time Of the
year there Is very little traffic on
the Pennington road. and for that
reason the body lay in the road for
nearly twenty-four hours before 1t
was discovered.
Some of the officers are Of the
opinion that the man might have
been a deserter from the navy,
which might account for the lack
of Identification marks about his
person or clothing.

looked out from between two big
stones, and Uncle Wiggily felt no
longer afraid.
ooh, Mr.. Ringtail 7 am so glad
to see you!" exclaimed Uncle Wig
gily. 81 will gladly come in your
den and sit down." and in he went,
with his red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch.

was following Uncle Wiggily, II

While the Fuzzy Fox was sneak

to try to get Uncle Wiggily the
bunny was sitting at his ease in
side talking to his friend, Mr..

THE FIRST NATIONALS NEW BUILDING

The announcement of the First National bank
that it is about to advertise for bids for its new
building at Third street and Central avenue has
aroused public interest As soon the public is
convinced that the announced decision is bona fidc
and that building is to begin in the spring the an
rouncement will elicit public enthusiasm.
The building Of this great structure will be g
distinct step forward for Albuquerque. 1t also will
mean great things for this strong institution.
Coming as it did solely through the columns OF
the special organ of the bank and on the day fol-
lowing the publication in the columns of news
of the indictment Of Mr.. Raynold and Mr.. Rogers
by Arizona grand jury, many people are dis
posed to be skeptcal to the good faith of the
announcement
The Journal does not share this skepticism The
bank is able financially to build this structure when
ever 1t peases. To do so now. when the conduct
of of its officers is under criticism, will be a
stroke of business genius and will go far to allay
public hostility. To build now would be a good
business policy. The Journal believes that it will
be done.
There is nothing the matter with the First Ma
tional 1t is institution of which Albuquerque
has long been proud
When it comes to wisdom in determining on a
sound and just public policy, the present manage
ment sorely lacks the sagacity of its former presi
dent which made the institution great. Its officers
do not lack capacity to pass upon loans They know
how 20 keep the banks assets intact Their great
defects is their foolish notion of compelling every
one to bend the knee. To cross them in their dc.
sires means the bringing down of the wrath of this
powerful institution upon the head of the poor fool
who regards himself as a free-born American
citizen.
If these gentlemen will learn that loan is
service instead of a club they will be all right
