FRIENDS IN CONFERENCE.

Announcement that the ienlarging of the British
delegation to the Washington armament conference
to include six members, to make possible the
representation of three of the dominions will cause
change in the size of our own counrys delega
ton to emphasize the informal character of
the coming gathering which constitutes its greatest
strength Each nation it is said shall feel free to
send as few or many delegates as It desires, kindly
conference shall not become so large as to be I'M
wiedy.
1t is true that the United States government
made first announcement of its delegation Of four
members, but it had no intention of setting nu-
merical precedent. Our delegation is regarded as
fully representative and as capable Of presenting
the American attitude reduction of ornaments
and on the Far Eastern questions as if it twice
the size. The British had not expected to send
than four delegates until the desirability Of repre-
sentation for Australia. New Zealand and Canada
was realized. The Far Eastern questions, rather
than armament reduction, hold for them the chief
interest Indeed their interests in the Pacific
nearer to those of the United States than most ma
tons.
There Is every indication that the coming
ference will possess exactly the character desired by
President Harding: that 1t will be a gathering for
friendly conversations in which a sincere effort
will be made to gain each others point of view and
the peculiar problems and circumstances of each
nation will receive sympathetic consideration. Many
difficulties undoubtedly will be encountered, but the
encouraging thing is the spirit that is being shown
by the nations invited to what may prove to be the
most important international meeting in the worlds
history

A NATIONAL PARK.

The Hon. Albert Bacon FALL Secretary of the
Interior at last has it in mind to do something for
New Mexico. The Journal approves this state OF
mind--an entirely novel one for Mr.. Fall. 1t has
required castgation to bring it about, but we
do not begrudge the energy expended If it gets re-
suits. When patting Mr. Fall on the back failed
get results the Journal favored the big stick to
see what that would do.
Mr.. Fall proposes all-the-year national PARK
in southern New Mexico We favor it. The people
down there and in western Texas are entitled to 1t.
The whole inter-mountain country would benefit.
Mr. Fall has talked. viii it end there or will he
do something? We shall In the meantime,
the people who directly interested should get
busy Park associations should be formed and the
matter pushed.
We advise against waiting on the activity of Nj.
Fall. He has made a good suggestion, Perhaps he
will help in its contamination. But the citizens in
the south should lead on.

THE WISDOM OF THE FATHERS.

The wisdom of the trainers of the constitution
becomes apparent from decade to decade.
Just now we have in mind the manner in which
they constituted the congress. 1t was compro-
mise of course, but most wise things are COM
promise.
The densely settled colonies Of the Atlantic sea-
board wanted representation according to popula-
ton. The sparsely settled sections wanted tn mat
ter settled by equal representation for the states
1t was finally settled by making representation in
the house according to population and that In the
senate by equal representation for the states.
The house is hopeessly controlled by the eastern
states. Anything granted to the west is matter
Of generosity But New. York is stronger in the
senate than New Mexico only in case she is repre-
scented by more capable experienced senators.
Control of the senate is shifting. Lodge and
Penrose are gradually losing their dominating grip
The organization of the agricultural bloc in the
senate is about to sheer these gentlemen of the'
extraordinary power. The west is coming into its
own.
New Mexicos interests life largely with the new
bloc. We are that Senator Bursum sees this,
Next year elect senator He should be a
progressive. The people should begin to think
about this.

ROSLINGTON TACTICS.

George Roslington, trackless street car magnate,
seems determined to make himself ridiculous He
says he will classify his jitneys to suit his own con-
venience or quit operating them
When is gasoline-propelled motor car not an
automobile? Mr.. Rosngton says, when 1T is n
trackless street car" If the court says anything
else, Mr. Rosngton will quit cold and don't you
forget it.
When "jitneys" bothered Roslington's street-car
system he procured the passage of an ordinance
taxing them $50 per year each and requiring a
49, 900 bond to protect the public Thus he put the
jitneys out of business Now he seems about to
hang from his own scaffod.
The information which the Journal has is TO
the effect that the socalled rackess street
not owned by the same corporation as the street
car lines but operate in conjunction with the latter
on transfers through some kind of working agree
ment.
We have objection to Mr.. Roslingtons jltney
service. If he make it pay and it serves need,
we contented. But opne that the law ought
to apply to him exactly 1T applied at his own
request to other jitney drivers, without any word
bubble about "trackless street cars"

But in the distance / can hear

One thing is becoming apparent to even those

amounts to international conspiracy there seems

open in its expression. If 1t is not official that is
merely for the sake Of saving the conventions But

CRISP PARAGRAPHS
BEFORE THE HIGHEST TRIBUNAL.
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer

fFrom the Cincinnati Enquirer)
Sometime this autumn the supreme court of
the United States will hand down a final ruling
with reference the constitutionay of the federal
law having to do with child labor. This law was
declared to be unconstitutional by southern Judge.
1t is not the province of courts high or low to
create legislation. The courts interpret laws and
direct their enforcement 1t is altogether probable
that the supreme court may affirm the decision Of
the lower court. 1t be guided and influenced
only by those principles which have been laid down
for the protection and preservation Of guaranteed
rights Of the states.
Sentiment In opposition to the employment OF
child labor has grown tremendously during the last
decade. Congress responded to this sentiment when
it enacted the present law. 1t believed it had sat
sfied public opinion and ended the practice of en-
ployng children of tender years in mills and fac
tories by indrection at least The trouble arises
that clause in the law which provides that 10
labor shall go into the treasury of the United States
This the court below holds is illegal tax. He
may be right.
To the humanitarian the matter Is not for
economic consideration The mind of the normal
and woman revolts from the spectacle of chill
dren of tender at work in mills and factories
Those children have rights. Such life means more
than hardship and privation during their forma-
tive yearsit means, in most cases. practical ruin.
What should be done in case of a decision sus-
tanning the lower court, is for congress to enact
law which, in clear and unequivocal terms shall
prohibit the employment Of children for purpose
of gain in industries. Nothing be of higher
importance than securing to children their natural
rights and the to them of the opportunity
to secure common school education.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Unexpected
falling off in the visible supply to-
tai, together with increased talk of
the rail STRIFE being averted led
to a material upturn today in the
price OF wheat. Closing quotations
although unsettled, We're ia to

provisions, the outcome varied
from 121sc decline to 15c adj
vance.
Most wheat traders had looked
for liberal enlargement today in
the visible supply. AS soon, how
ever. as indications appeared that
the general assumption In this re-
pect would prove unfounded, per-
sistent buying on the part of strong
commission houses set in. Demand
for wheat was further stimulated
on account of current develop
ments which caused many dealers
to conclude that the strike situa-
ton was clearing rapidly. Still
further encouragement for bulls
was found in predictions that for
the next few weeks receipts would
be held back to take advantage OF
reduced freight rates. On the
other hand, export news was bear

"Have. you cleaned your teeth to-

"Why, no I--er-that is, I don't

"Then you can't bite my ears
until you clean your teeth" said
the bunny gentleman. That's a
new rule I just made. No teeth
cleaned--no ears nibbled! Clean
your teeth at once, you bad bear"
"But I have no brush!" whined
the bear, well knowing that it
would never do not to clean his
teeth when once told to do so.
"Here, I'll lend you my brush
it's new one" said the kind bun
ny gentleman, taking it from his
pocket and handing it to the bear.

brook and clean your teeth. Brush
them well, up and down, then

sang.

bear. But mind-no running

Uncle Wiggily never answered

than losing his ears, and he bought
himself a new one next day. So

'tNow, children, how many OF

From where he stood the bunny
gentleman could look into the
school room, and he saw every
paw raised in answer-of course
some of the boys and girls, like
Lulu. Alice and Jimmie Wibble-
wobble, the ducks, had no paws,
but they raised their wing tips as
did Dickie and Nellie Fliptail, the
sparrow children.
That's perfectly fine!" squeak
ed the lady mouse teacher. II am
glad none of you forgot the teeth
cleaning lesson. And now how
many Of you brushed your teeth
up and down, instead of side
ways?"
Once again every paw, or claw,
or wing tip was raised.
"Fine again" laughed the lady
mouse. Now you may have a
