CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

Any person who reads the leading newspapers
of the United States is confused by the conflict
ing opinions as to what measures will afford relief
in the present agricultural slump and by the con-
flicting interests which are at war over the pro
posed measures,
Papers in the industrial ccnters refer to the
Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill as vicious class
legislation" "Fragmentary, faulty and op-sided,"
"cheap political buncombe" "a crude, impractical
and dangerous procedure "a fraud upon the farm
ers themselves" and kindred remarks directed
at this measure.
One says that "lt will be an intolerable burden
upon every who eats food and wears clothes"
1t occurs to that that includes almost every
body in America.
Another says that tariff which sis going to
raise the price Of barrel of flour loaf of bread
or a mutton chop, deserves the condemnation of
the country at large"
One paper, in a milder tone, makes the re-
mark that "the passage of of the proposed
bills for the special benefit of producers should
be considered with reference to that great class of
consumers that work for salaries and wages
On the other hand are the papers in the agri-
cultural districts who argue convincngly that JUS
tice and prudence both demand the enactment of
this tariff measure. The man who wishes to
apprase fairly and do Justice, finds himself in a
whirl of conflicting arguments.
Certainly the farmer is entitled to as fair treat
ment as others-but nothing more. Farm products
have declined 81 per cent since the harvest began
recession in prices all along the line is necessary
If textiles and wages have declined 81 per cent
also there is nothing for the farmer to do in all
fairness but accept his loss.
But this latter thing is not true. In few in
stances wages have declined 10 per cent to 20 per
cent, but, in the main, wages have not declined al
all If we are to reach REIMBURSEMENT without any
being unduly hurt the decline must be grad
ua and affect all, nearly alike possible.
IT, therefore, emergency measures of a suffi-
GENTLY elastic nature be found to stop too
radical declines in single lines and yet not overdo
that protection they should be used. Aid should
shift from line to another another
shows tendency to undue depression. The decline
should not be stopped but it should be graduated
and equalzed far possible.
Probably to hope for such solution would be
too idealistic The interests with the strongest po-
1itical pull will doubtless get than they are
entitled to and the weaker interests less than
their due.
Each wants restoration to normal-n every
line but his One is reminded of Judge Rich
ard Harry Hanna's story of the clothing merchant
from whom thief stole coat. The merchant
gave chase, calling for help. policeman Joined
him and when the thief refused to stop the police
man prepared to shoot "Shoot him in the pants"
shouted the excited merchant "the coat is mine"
To arrange outlet to the markets of the
world for both farm products and manufactured
goods is, in our judgment, the natural protection
against both over-reduced prices and idle or under
paid labor.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

one," said Uncle Wiggily, as he
was hopping along down town
near the five and ten cent store in
Woodland, at the foot of the Or
ange Ice Mountains one day.
'One of what? What are you
going to get Nurse Jane?" asked
Grandfather Goosey Gander, who
was waddling along beside Uncle
Wiggily.
"A washing machine" answered
the bunny rabbit gentleman. "See,
Grandpa Goosey, the washing ma
chine is like a barrel. You put
the dirty clothes in, with some
soap and water, and then you turn
a handle, which makes the barrel
flop upside down and do somer-
saults and peppersaults. Then,

doing them rubbity-d ub-scrubbity-

Goosey Camden gentleman, as he
and Uncle Wiggily looked in the
store window, where little mouse
lady was working away at sam
pie washing machine.
"I'll get Nurse Jane one of
those for her birthday" said Uncle
Wiggily. COR else I'll make one.
They look easy. All need is a
barrel, and have that, and an
old crank to turn it. Nurse Jane
has plenty of ,oap and water, and

THE SWORD OF HEROD.

Then Herod & " was exceeding wroth, and
sent FORTH and slew all the children that were
in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof
from two years old and under e
st. Matthew, H. &c.
Great Britain has announced its intention to
destroy homes in the vicinity of zones of out
rage" which definitely known to be occupied
by militant Sim Feners
ID Dublin Castle seeks to justify this ruling by the
following explanation:
although it is not yet possible to identity
any persons actually engaged in attacks the
military governor is of the opinion that it is
impossible to effect preparations for such at
taeks without the knowledge of local residents
who, therefore, held guilty, at least to the
extent of having failed to give information to
the authorities"
The Journal has tried to abstain from mucI,
comment on the Irish question, because it is too
involved for fair apprasement. Only in so far as
certain Sim Fein elements have apparently tried
to embroil this country into war with Great
Britain have we protested.
This latest decree of Britain's, however, is too
unjust and too unwise to escape comment Unjust

DAVID GOLDsTEIN's LECTURE.

It would have been well if every young man
and young woman in New Mexico could have heard
David Goldstein "Bolshevsm," at the High
School auditorium Sunday night.
The picture he drew of socialism practiced
by Bolshevists gave great food for thought. It's
fundamental moral weakness was the impressive
thing depicted.
Our institutions are founded upon certain phil
osophic principles of government, of course. But
our strength lies in their being founded upon deep
seated moral principles. A belief in God, in the
family and in righteous living are the foundation
stones of America.
Bolshevsm denies God, minimizes the home and
ignores righteousness. Therefore it will fail as
every socialistic movement ignoring these funda-
mentals has failed. The conventions of our civili-
cation which the socialist pictures iron bands
to restrict freedom are fact the crystallized
wisdom of centuries, based upon moral principles,
without which it has been found that every civil
zaton degenerates. We require the restraining
hand of controlling public opinion upon our
impulses.
In the last analysis these were the basic lessons
which the speaker sought to drive home These, we
wish this foroeful orator might have said to all
young people.

THE GREAT, THE BRAVE, THE WISE.

These are the great: the men who never ask
More from this life than strength to meet their

The patient, willing toers day by day
Who serve to keep their children at their play;
These the nations builders and her pride
Men who stand fast when towards step aside
These are the brave: the men who day by day
\Have much to do and not so much to say;
The quiet ranks of men who bear the weight
OF burdens heavy and the blows of fate,
And yet keep on, some little gain to make
Not for themselves, but for their loved ones
sake
These are the wise: the men who find delight
In childrens laughter and their love each night,
In the rich treasury of friendly few,
And pleasures which need not be ever new
Who follow humble ways of toll and mrth-
These are the wise and happy of the earth.
