HARVARD HAPPENINGS

Harvard schools closed a, successful
! term Friday afternoon under the able
management Of Misses Vivian Mum
son and Nell Barrackman in the pri-
mary and advanced grades respective
ly The graduation exercises were
held in the school house Friday even
ing, and diplomas awarded to Anna
Gleason, Beulah Glider and Mona
Tinnell An excellent program was
rendered consisting mainly of those
old families melodies, which though
we may hear them often never grow
old. The salutatory was given by
Anna Gleason, Beulah Glider read
the class history and Mona Tinnell,
the class prophesy.
The school room was packed to the
doors by the many friends who gath
cred to pay their respects to those
young people who have finished their
work in the local school and are pre-
pairing to take their different ways
through life Both Miss Munson and
Miss Barrackman, during the two
years that they have been in our
midst have proved themselves to be
able and efficient teachers, handling
their work at all times in thorough
and capable manner besides adding
materially to the welfare of the COM
munity, taking an active part in the
Sunday School and in Grange work
and in all social affairs. Their many
friends regret that the closing of the
school term necessitates their removal
from the community.
The Senior class of Harvard Sun
day School gave a kitchen shower in
honor of Miss Ruby Garfield at the
school house Saturday evening. The
affair was we'll planned and was
complete surprise. Despite the wet
evening almost thirty friends and
neighbors were present. Miss Can

would be found useful in the kitchen.

Picture An Ideal Comedy

It is not so surprising, at that, that
Mr. Neilan should have produced
Don't Ever Marry" 1t is just such
a comedy as all producers are always
seeking but which are seldom found.
There is not laugh in it dependent
upon the grotesqueness of any char
acter, but all the humor and comedy,
with which the picture abounds, come
from situations in which every day
people find themselves through a
combination of circumstances
Edgar Frankling, the author of the
story from which the picture was
taken, in writing the tale struck upon
theme in which the action was the
main part, novel which lent itself
admirably to adaptation to the mo-
ton picture screen Mr. Franklin is
known to thousands of magazine
readers for the delicious humor of his
stories, and Mr.. Neilan has transfer
red all of the humor in the original
story, with some added touches made
possible only by the scope of the cam
era. Don't Ever Marry" will be the
attraction at the Liberty Theatre,
ending tonight.

THE RIGHT IN WRITING

The action OF the Post Office De
rartmcnt in restoring Second Class
Mail privileges TO two papers from
which the privilege was Withdrawn
by the Democratic administration is
good as far as il goes. but there
should be definite legislation making
it clear that no Postmaster General
has the power TO refuse second class
postage rates 10 any publication com
plying with the law. Whether a pub
LEGATION is unavailable is one thing
and whether it is entitled TO second
class rates is another. The question
Of Availability is one that should usu-
2llv be a proper one to submit to a
jury IN a criminal court. for If a citi-
zen mails matter that is obSence. dan
eerous or incendiary. he is subject
TO punishment. The law defines pub
LEGATIONS that are entitled to a special
rate and when a publisher has COM
piled with the law he should be as
much entitled to the rate as is any
citizen entitled to mail a letter when
he presents it with first class post
age on if. \ mans right should
be fixed by law and not be subject
to the judgment or discretion of an
administrative officer.

ONLY A STEP

The cut OF y per cent in the aver
age pay OF railroad employees, or
dered by the Railroad Labor Board,
is a step in the right direction, but
only a step. The decision contains
the statement that there has been a
decrease in the cost of living" and
upon that the reduction is based. But
the decrease III living costs has been
far greater than y per cent. 1t is
nearer 80 per cent. and the percent
age is increasing all the time. 4 re-
duction in wages, to be logical, should
be in the same proportion as the dror
in living costs, and deflation in wag-
es will not be complete until such
reduction have been put into effect.
Before the great rise in prices oc-
Cured, the law Of supply and demand
governed in the labor market, both
on the railroad and in the industries
Railroad wages were raised bv law
and by executive order, but other
scales of pay also went up as The
war withdrew men from their ordin-
airy lines OF toll, and others r%efuesc
to work unless paid a wage com
mensurate with increased living costs
Now that there is no scarcity OF labor
and the cost of living has reduced
the ordinary toiler has to offer his
services in competition with others
in other words. the law of and dem
where wages are subject to arbitrary
decree as in the case of railroad en-
ployes.

DEMOCRATS SUPPORT BURsUM

During the past week authentic in
formation has reached the State Rec
ord from half a dozen counties -
the effect that large numbers OF pro
minent Democrats will support Sen
ator Bursum for U. s. Senator tins
Fall.
These men do not consider that they
are losing their party identity in pur'
suing such a course, but they do con
slider that the need OF the state ton
II. o. Bursum in the United States
senate is paramount to party ident-
ity at this time.
The Democrats who intend to sup
port the senator are manly IRON
three classes. First, sheep men, who
know thai no other man from New
Mexico can do as much for them n
the way OF securing a proper tarnl
on wool and hides, Second, eX-serVic
men, who know that his sincere Ell
forts for their recognition ana re
endorsement viii be nor effective
than those of any other man they
can support. Third, mineral proSpec'
tors, who know that he understand
their difficulties in dealing with th'
government and particularly with tn
hampering rules OF the Forest ser
vice. than n other man who '
available, and that he viii accomplish
more to relieve their particular handi
caps.
Democrats OF these three classe
who will support Bursum have al
ready been heard from in Bernalillo
Chaves. Grant, Sierra, Sooorro, LIN
coin, Quay, DeBaoa and san Jual
counties.

OF INTEREST

Many indications from various
parts of the country leave little doubt
that the tariff is of more interest to
the people than any other one sub
ject at the present time. Reduced
taxation is something that an desire,
vet II is manifest that however low
taxes may be made, the reduction
will not help a man who has nothing
with which to pay, and American bus
mess will not long have money with
which TO pay taxes il the trend to
ward increased imports and decreased
exports keeps up. We have an en-
ormous favorable trade balance, it is
true, as a result of the war, but that
book balance will help rs little il
importations close American mills and
throw American workmen out of their
Jobs. No one contends that the situ-
alton is critical, but every believer
in a protective tariff recognizes the
fact that every dollars worth of for
eign goods purchased means a dol
lar Withdrawn from American trade
and not less than a ~ten-dollar pei
year turnover in American industry
Restoration of a protective tariff will
put new confidence into many line:
OF American business.

AFTER EN-

Preparations are being made h.
the Department OF Justice, under the
direction of Attorney General Daugh-
crty, to enforce the antitrust laws
against certain price-fixing associa-
lions. 1t is declared there are about
100 organizations in the United States
that maintains a system for ~eXchanp-
ING information that results in the
fixing OF countrywide prices on vari-
Gus products. II is understood that
Mr., Daugherty will bring a test case
in the courts, and on the outcome
OF it will depend the action to be
taken against the other alleged Of
tenders. What the Department in
tends to do" declares the Attorney
General, is to proceed vigorously
against those classes of business
which are violating the law"

THE SENATORIAL NOMINATIONS

With the snecial election TO choose
a United States Senator only three
months off nolitical discussion is
again becoming common in New
Mexico.
On the Renublicar side the present
Indications are tina II. O. Bursum
will have about three fourths of all
the delegates TO the Republican con-
yention. The only other candidate
who is making anv active campaign
at all is Ex-State Senator II. b. Holt
of La, Cruces, MIR. Holt is an able
man and well qualified to be a SEN
ator. but be has only a small person

BACK TO M

Workers in the steel industry ac-
cepted a 20 per cent wage cut, and
reported for work as usual. Therein
they showed their sound sense and
their complete recovery from the OBJ
session that led them into a disas-
trous strike a few months ago. They
have learned the lesson of deflation
and realize that continuous work for
them and their fellows was not pos
Sible until lower wage costs permit
ted lower prices for their products
with a resulting increased demand
The same lessons have got to be inn
pressed upon the coal miners and
railroad workers. The deflation oil
rail wages is about to take place, and
a similar operation upon miners wag-
es must also be performed. Wher
those changes have occurred, wag,
establishments in this country will
have been practically completed.

ALASKA LOOMS LARGE

Before the end Of the present ad-
ministration the country is likely to
see a great change in the develop
ment of Alaska. President Harding
had not been in office a month be-
fore he announced that he would Wis
it the territory at the first opportun-
ity, possibly the latter part of this
summer. Secretary of the Interior
Fall, under whose administration the
development OF the territory would
proceed, has announced his deep In
terest in stimulating work along that
line. The Alaskan Railroad is now
available to do its part in bringing
men and capital to the country, Hear
ings are now being held in Congress
On a bill that seeks to unity under
one commission control of Federal
property in Alaka, and it is thought
the measure will be a potent factor
in administering the affairs OF the
territory.

TIME TO TAKE NOTICE

If further financial advances are
made to Europe it should be thor,
ough understood before the money
is handed over what il is to be spent
for. Too many millions of good AM
erican dollars already have gone to
build up foreign navies and maintain
foreign armies that might, under
conceivable conditions, be used
against the United States. Poland
today owes this country about
Sil0,OO0,OW on which she has been
unable TO pay even the interest for
yo years, although she found no
trouble in meeting a league OF nations
assessment against her. 1t would be
interesting to know how much OF
that MONEY is being used to prosecute
the offensive in Upper Silesia, to re-
peal which English troops are he
ing rushed across Europe. Great Bri-
tain owes us $4,2OO,0O0,0O France,
$500. 100000; and Italy, $1,000
100000; all with two years arrears
in interest. Each of those countries
however, is spending hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in keeping up its mil
itary strength.
Not only should American loans tc
limited in their expenditure to ma
%terials needed in the economic recon
struction Of European countries, but
they shorid be made with the under
standing that they shall be spen; il
the United States, There is no rea-
son why this country should contri'
butte toward the construction of for
eign merchant marines to compete
with our own, or toward the stimula
ton of commerce between the Dor
rowing country and another foreign
nation. 1t is reported that Belgium
devoted many millions of her form
err American loans to the purchase o
Argentine wheat when there was
tremendous surplus in this country
England is said to have made
$50,OOOyOW loan to Argentine with TIL
stipulation that the South American
country spend it in British markets
Practically England loaned none,
previously borrowed from the Unite'
States.
The United States has always stoot
ready TO extend all proper assistance
to Europe in her struggle to recove
from the effects of the war. Blu
American generosity in that regar'
will be tempered by the spirit in whicl
our aid is received and utilized. Am
orleans are not going to have thei
assistance diverted to the erection o
economic or military menaces agains
the United States. That polio
should be insisted upon and clearl
understood before negotiations pro
coed further.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC PAPER

political attitude of Union county
has so changed during the past two
or three wears IRON a nigh majority

Senator Smith was forced to decide
between disseminating his publication
altogether, or disposing OF IT TO the

course and has leased it to a new com

A SAN JUAN OUTLET

The people OF the San Juan basin
Of New Mexico and Colorado are
again working hard with a syndicate
of Los Angeles capitalists to finance
and construct a railroad into that sec
ton. Probably no section Of similar
area in the whole country is as much
in need Of railroad facilities as san
Juan. and certainly no section has as
much to offer in the way OF ultimate
business and tonnage as the san Juan
with IT., four billion tons OF coal on
the New McNico side, mountains of
gold. silver aud lead ores, on the COL
orado side, and large agricultural, hor-
iicultrral and live stock resources on
both sides.

Juan basin viii Dc OF advantage and
a solution of their development prob

western road into Arizona we Ger
iainly hope that nothing will be done
by ans other locality 10 New McNico

that any SGT OF New McsNico men are
so short sighted as to try TO handicap
them.
Last week the san Juan newspaper
were considerably pceved because
certain business men at Albuquerque
were ~cudcavoring TO secure the con-
struction OF the proposed road to thar
point instead OF southwestcrly as
planned by the San Juaners. We fail
to see where such action can do any
thing but show the Los Angeles cap
i%talists that Albuquerque appreciates
the magnitude Of the resources Of the
San Juan and thus enchanoe their
chances to finance the road.

A GOOD

The appointment OF Andrew r
Stroup Of Albuquerque, to be feder-
al prohibition Inspector for the south
western district, consisting OF New
Mexico. Arizona and West Texas. i,
a good one in every way. Mr.. Stroup
has been one of the most consistent
and efficient workers, first to bring
about national prohibition and more
recently TO secure adequate enforce
ment of the law against intoxicants.
His selection by the secretary OF the
treasury. ii is understood. had the
endorsement not only of Senator Bur
sum. but OF Senator Cameron as well.
From a party standpoint. the selec-
ton IS equally satisfactory, since there
are few men in the district who have

lican party principles and success than
