SCHOOL MONEY.

The Chippewa Indians, of Minnesota, have re-
ceved 100000 from the sale of timber. This
money is to go into schools, live stock and farm
ing implements, the news dispatches tell US. If
this proves to be true, these primitive Indians are
showing better judgment than the rest of us.
We pay 95 per cent Of federal taxes for the
expense Of past wars of preparation for future
wars Less than per cent goes for education.
If 20 per cent of federal monies could 60 for
education we would show progress as a nation
which would make our past achievements look
pigmy.
Like the Indians, we do not need the superla-
lively educated few nearly so much as we need
the fairly well educated many.
The safety of a republic lies in the education
of the masses. Any proposal which will facilitate
this end, so devouly to be wished for should have
our support. Whatever will tend to make educa-
tion more difficult inefficient for the average
child should meet hearty condemnation Our
school money is our best investment.

in many college to permit automobile rides, socley

THE PRESIDENTS PROPOSAL.

The people of America will receive with enthu-
siasm the announcement of the state department
that President Harding has sent informal note
to Great Britain France, Italy and Japan, sound
ing them as to their attitude toward
ment Limitation conference to be held in Wash
ington in the future.
1t is fairly safe conjecture that the response
will be favorable and that such a conference will
be held. If these nations in good faith in
their professions, there will be no strings tied to
their acceptance. The conference will then be per-
mitted to take its and evolve into what
it may. Any effort to make it conditional, will
make it difficult to get together and will be a
symptom of bad faith.
Our confidence in the conference table as a
solver of troubles is implicit. When men sit face
ficulties melt away. The Journal is for confer
ences in of dispute whether personal, Off
cial or international. The development of a con-
ference spirit will help us over more hard places
than anything else.
Our present policy of piling up armaments is
utterly senseless 1t cannot go on forever. There
fore it should end now. before our backs are
broken.
The efficacy of prayer will manifest itself when
such a conference meets. Christian people all over
the world will join hearts in behalf of the move
ment Even those who fail to believe in the or
thodox idea Of prayer, will join in that earnest
hope" which is prayer.

OUR FRIEND sTAMM AGAIN.

Mr. NJ p Stamm told readers yesterday mat
+be Journal was "all bobbled up" on the question
of capital and labor and the radical doctrine OF
socialism Mr.. Stamm meant, of course that ne
thought we were. Mr.. Stamm is a confirmed So
cjaIist in his theories of government. His views
are not subject to revision. Whoever disagrees
with him is wrong. Aside from his wierd political
theories Mr Stamm is a most loveabe man and
a good citizen.
Our correspondent seems to forget that publicly
owned capital Is private capital which the gov
ernment has forceaby taken from the individual
through taxation, Therefore to achieve MI
stamms desires the government would be forced
to take what we have away from us. With 1t they
would take all incentive to any industry beyond
that necessary for the needs of today.
True some publicly owned capital could come
from our natural resources which are nationally
owned This however, is a passing phase In a
brief time this would be gone Then 1t
must come from the Canned labor of the indi-
vidua.
Mr. stamm would take from the industrious and
the frugal and give to the idle and the extravagant
In .doing this he would attempt to suspend the
laws of cause and effect. Nature rewards us for
our economic virtues and Furnishes us for our eco
nomic sins If we are industrious, we may eat; II
we are idle we must starve. The law has thou
sand applications. Europe, as well as America, is
paying the price of the economic waste of war. If
will fight, we must pay, Inc Teileuy Is u
stop fighting. No patent economic remedy will
avert the penalty, if do not stop.
The world recognizes the need of charity in the
cases where people helpless even though they
brought their distress upon themselves. But char
ity as an economic theory, instead of as a Chris
tian duty in emergency, would bring the world
to pauperism.
We favor legislative control of the "hoggish.'
The stern hand of the law and not visionary
economic theory is what such men need. Pub
lie sentiment achieve this under our present
system. Without that public sentiment, no system
can achieve it,
Mr. Stamm's fling at Christianity is not genuine
We know the He practices the Christian
virtues in his life. He has the heart Of a Chris
tan. He merely refuses to acknowledge it
source There are hundreds of thousands lik
him. or civilization could not stand
The heart of America is Christian. AS more
men bind themselves to practice its virtues W.
will become more and stabilized as ma
tion. Without a dominant public sentiment whcl
is Christian at its roots, the compulsory laws o
which Mr. Stamm speaks would be useless a

gily. There is too much guess
work about this. The nest isn't on

what it is all about"
Uncle Wiggily entered the home
of the robin family and at once he
saw that something was wrong, for
Mrs. Robin Redbreast was sobbing
in one corner, and Cherry oh, the
robin boy, was wiping tears out of
his eyes in another corner. But
none of the other little robin chill
dren was missing, and certainly
the next house was not on fire.
What is the matter, Mrs Rob-
in?' asked the bunny gentleman
kindly.
"Oh, such a sadness!" chirped
the mother bird. "My little boy,
Cherry oh, can't pick up any more
seeds or things to eat"
"Is that so asked Uncle Wig
gily. "That is too bad, for robin
or any other bird who can't pick
up things is in a sad way. But
what is the matter with Cherry Oh
Is his bill broken?"
"Oh, no, Uncle Wiggily," an
swered the boy robin for himself

"Tm sure some bad fairy must

Robin. He was all right yester-
day. But today when I watched
him picking seeds from the ground,
1t happened just as he tells you.
He tipped right over. I shall have
to call him Tippy Robin instead of
Cherry oh. What shall we do
Uncle Wiggily?"
LET me think" said the bunny
So Uncle Wiggily thought for a
moment, every one in the nest

Then, all at once. the bunny rabbit
said;
"Go out now, Cherry Oh, and
let me see you pick up some seeds

Out flew "Tippy Robin" as his
mother called him. Surely enough,

A TEACHER Talks BACK.

We publish the following from
the pen of a prominent New Mex
leo teacher. Evidently she failed to
catch Mr.. Hessler's subtle irony.
Mr.. Hessler is against the amend
ment as we understand him.--Edi-
torial Note.
Editor Journal:
Dear Sir:-Will you please allow
me space in your valuable paper in
which to express a few comments
concerning an article which ap-
peared in Journal, under date of
July 9TH, written by l.. B. Hessler,
pertaining to teachers salaries?
Being a teacher myself, l am in
position to reply to the scathing
and wholly unwarranted attack
made upon the teachers and their
salaries by this person; and, truly,
l am amazed" that he is amazed
at Mr.. Mines reply to the state
ment of the T. p. A.
And what is the Taxpayers As
sociation Of New Mexico? 1t is a
group of men working merely for
their own personal interests, and
entirely disregarding education,
religion, politics and everything
else except those things which will
swell the flow of gold into their
Golfers. From whom does Director
Asplund receive the greater part
of his salary? Why are certain
men and corporations exerting all
their energy and power to bring
about, on the twentieth of next
September, the passage Of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment,
decreasing the present school levy
from 1S mills to 10 mills? Their
argument for it runs something
like this: at will decrease the
taxes" 1T will enable the state
legislature to make school appro-
priations," ct cetera. Why did the
state legislature "break faith" with
the committee on education con-
cerning the mill levage for schools,
and in this proposed amendment,
attempt to lower it? Because there
is a certain clique in this state so
desirous of accommodating wealth
and still more wealth that they
care not how badly education is
crippled, or, whether there is any
or not, just so long as it is to their
interest.
Something is wrong with Mr..
Hessler's statements, for at one time
he says that we may take it that
the teachers of New Mexico are
paid more than they should be, and
again he says that 'if other states
see fit to underpay their teachers,
should the young state of New
Mexico presume to point the way?'
Evidently the gentleman has his
wires crossed. He should not so
flatly contradict the report of the
T. P. A., purporting to show that
the teachers of this state are paid
salaries in excess to those paid in
the majority of other states. He

CASSEROLE COOKERY.

80 that's what you call a "cas-
serole,' is it?" said a dear little old
lady friend of mine who had come
from her farm home to pay me a
visit, "Humph It's the same old
covered baking dish that I've al
ways used, and my mother before
me, and my grandmother before
her" And we both laughed merrily
because it was true. The much
talked-of Casserole" is just the
age-old covered baking dish, only
rigged up with a silver or nickel
holder, and made in variety of
attractive wares.
If you have never tried cooking
in a casserole, l advise you to get
one. There are a number of strong
arguments in their favor. In homes
where the father of the family
cannot always get home from
business promptly at dinner time,
the casserole solves the problem of
keeping his dinner hot for him:
the other members of the family
may be served from the casserole,
then the cover put on, and the
dish slipped back into the oven to
keep warm till father comes.
Ordinarily, however, the casser-
ole goes straight to the table from
the oven. This saves soiling a meat
platter or vegetable dish and
lightens the task of washing
just so much.
"Please tell me just which vege-
tables may be cooked in q casser-
OLE" say so many letters from my
readers. They do not seem to grasp
the fact that all vegetables may
be cooked in it. Many housewives
use it daily for their dinner vege-
tables. Such vegetables as aspara-
gus, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers,
eggplant, kale, onions, parsnips,
peas, potatoes. satisfy, sweet corn,
rutabagas, Swiss chard and turnips
are perhaps best when cooked in
| the casserole in a cream sauce
made by using one tablespoon OF
flour to one cup of sweet milk, ad-
ding seasoning to suit taste, and a
small lump of butter.

These lovely days so golden with the sun
And overfowing with wholesome graclousness
So rich in natures bamy- -soued excess
And raptures from innate bounty spun.

OF brooklet when it feels the fond caress
OF zephyrs that exuberantly press
To gladden. its first flush of life begun.
These lovely days so fancfully rich
With winged song and flowing harmony,
AS luscious timbered a symphony
OF deeply throbbing utterance in which
The comprehensive varousness OF life
Is ever most delightfully."- at strife
