FOR RIGHT is RIGHT.

The journal wishes to express its appreciation
of almost universal moral support 1t is receiving
from the pepoe. 1t is a safe estimate 10 say that
ninety per Of the people with this paper In
the hand-to-hand struggle in which 1t has been
engaged.
The editor Of this paper is not personally we'll
ACQUAINTED in the state. This is a matter which he
greatly regrets He would gladly know the hopes
and aspirations of every Learthstone in the state 1t
is his wish to be the medium through which these
hopes and aspirations may be made artculate.
None of the popular support aroused is considered
as any personal tribute 1t is only the response OF the
people to our uterances in their behalf 1t is proof
that the complaints which we make are the COM
plants of the people and that our demands for
remedy the peoples demands.
The subscription list of the Journal ia the largest
regular in the history of the paper This s true in
spite of the hardness OF the times in which othcr
businesses feel shrnkage.
Our advertisers get better results than ever In the
history of the paper People patronize those who
paronize us and have reflected confidence in what
they advertised in the Journal We try our best to
keep our advertisements worthy of your support.
The Journal is clean family newspaper We
do not admit to columns any matter which can
not be read with propriety in any mixed company
of people,
Above all this we refuse to be controlled by any
influence except judgment and conscience. We do
not pose as infallible. We make mistakes but we do
it in all good faith We try our best to serve you
We are fighting for equality of opportunity and
a fair deal in New Mexico We resent the coercion Of
the weak by the strong. We for the underdog in
lifes fight Men of talent entitled to the fair re-
wards of that talent But they not entitled to rob
the weak because they are strong.
The journal feels apologize over the personal
nature of its fight at times But it is forced upon
Because we will not yield our opinions OF what is
square and just, set upon We can serve you
only in case we can survive Therefore must fight
upon whatever ground the enemies of the people Sc
lect. It is not of our choosing.
The Journal is without personal malice toward
any of these gentlemen They fight to preserve their
private snaps The who pokes hornets nest
must expect to get stung 1t is the nature of the in
sect. 1t is useless to get angry with the hornet
None the less they must be removed from the
path of the people. The journal is trying to be as
good natured the character of the fight will per-

the prohibition law or to wink at its violation by
others he is treadlng on dangerous ground
The fact that the new law has been found diff
cult of enforcement is indication that it is i'm
possible Of enforcement proof that the country
at large does not want it. Many states had prohib-
ton before the federal act became operative. They
had their booteggers too but they remained in the
prohibition column despite frequent battles in which
recourse to the ballot taken.
We believe majority of the people of the United
States, what, theri views on prohibition, for
strict enforcement Of the law while it is on the
statute books That 1t will be strictly enforced in
TINE seems certain, but the officers in charge will
ave easier time if those who really respect our
general laws will become thoroughly aw-abidng and
not permit camouflaging phrases to blind them.
When the violator of the prohibition law occupies
the same plane in public opinion as the bootlegger
mail bandit or transgressor of any other federal
statute, enforcement of the dry act will be much sim
plified.

The morning mail brought a
letter from Dicks sister Agnes.
She was coming to New York. and
would spend a couple of days with
us--"if we could put her up?"
"Of course we cani" said,
when Dick read her letter aloud.
"And oh, aren't you glad we are
out of that horrid cheap apart
ment? 1t would be awful to try
to entertain her there"
"Oh, l don't know that she is
any better than we are! We lived
there all right"
but she is different The change
from her beautiful home would be
so obvious. 1t is bad enough here
when one compares them, but

"Of course it is a much more
comfortable apartment, Nan. But

we were happy there, you know,
at first anyway"
After Dick left I commenced to

forgotten to tell him, however, to

money; that we would want to

"All right! I'll do my best, but
don't cry if | lose"
I was delighted that | had ad-
ded to my wardrobe before Agnes
came. With what l had ordered
(the dress and blouse) l could
make a very good appearance for
the short time she would be with
us. A longer stay would have ex-
hausted my changes.
She came at the end of the
week. Dick met her, and came up

ON THE DOORSTEP OF SIBERIA.

Foreign fields for Americas commercial enterprise
appear is such rapid succession that in many in
stances the American product prolific thought it be.
Ia not abundant enough to meet the opportunity.
This seems to be the case in Siberia, where ma
tons literally are camped the doorstep with cara
of supplies waiting for the imminent renewal
of trade The United States however 1t is reported
is the only big exporting country not in position to
meet the demand with a sufficient supply. Neverthe-
less, the commercial attache of Tokyo embassy
has been sent investigating trip to Chta, from
which American interests abroad argue that the gov
eminent is preparing to place full information and
encouragement before its manufacturers and bust
ness men.
Vast stores of materials, unavailable to the
world for years, will be unlockedfurs, dairy prod
ucts, agricultural produce. timber and metals In
turn the Siberians want agricultural machinery,
clothing hardware, dry goods salt, sugar and many
things else. Money they have Hence trade will
revert to simple barter for tme with the monetary
system absent
Czecho- slovakia and Germany both have official
commissions the spot to assist their respective
citizens; Danes and Swedes on the ground; the
Japanese are both inside and on the frontier; the
British have placed bank at vadivostok. while the
American bank recently closed. Finally shipload OF
German goods is at this time nearing Vladvostok Il
it has not already arrived.
Clearly, all these peoples believe there is business
in Siberia. Clearly too this country could those
raw materials and has exactly the things the Siber-
ians need American business men can watch eagerly
for the report of the government envoy to Chta
to the best methods of carrying the trade.

BooTLEGGER BAD AS CRED"

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes said "a mouth
full" our picturesque speech phrases it, when he
asserted that the American who does not in the
bootegger danger great the bolshevik is a
short-sighted individual. Indeed, the bootegger is
than the anarchist of the socalled philosoph-
ca stripe. because while the latter may contend that
there should be no law whatever. he is not custom
ary lawbreaker and the Illegal seller of liquor is.
1t is dangerous attitude to take-that of tolerant
opinion toward breaking the law no matter what
the law is or who the person is who is guilty of it's
infraction. Even If personal liberty" SO dear to
Americans. were being interfered with in the en-
forcement of the prohibition law. which, of course
it is not, there still would exist for flout-
ing it.
Prohibition is a lava part of the constitution
and violation of it is just much a crime as the
breaking of other laws, no matter what indivd-
uals opinion about the matter may be- Appeals made
through the personal liberty channel intended
blind individuals to the real seriousness of the stu
alton. Every time an American is tempted to break

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THREE-CENT POSTAGE,
(From the indianapolis News.

CFrom the Indianapolis News.)
The suggestion that there be return to Scent
postage-which prevailed during the war-as
means Of raising the $4,000 100000 needed to pay
the governments expenses next year is worth the
serious consideration of congress. While this would
properly be regarded tax, 1t would be tax for
which the payer got his full moneys worth, which
is not the with all taxes The efficient dispatch
and delivery of frsclass letter worth more than
cents and 1t is worth than cents No tax
could be more equitable No pays 1t that does not
get the service given for l., and no one who gets it
can evade it, 1t is self-coectabe at no expense the
government 1t will cost more to issue Scent
stamps than 2-cent stamps and each one used means
l cent additional income for the government 1t is
spread over the whole country among practically all
OF the people, and is burden to one.
Custom is strong. and 1t has not been the
tom to place stamps on bank checks, such impost
would undoubtedly be resented, and might even. as
the bankers assert. reduce the number of deposits
and encourage other methods of shifting funds that
are inconvenient and risky, But this is not so in
regard to letters All letters that are to be mailed
must have stamps. This requirement has prevailed
during the life OF those who do the active work
OF the world. 1t will be trouble to affix g.
cent stamp to a letter than 2-cent stamp. To be
sure, 1t is a so per cent increase in the cost Of
mailing letter but this so per amounts only to
the value OF the smallest coin that Is minted in the
United States amount pretty generally regarded
insignificant. Spread out the whole year, the
additional mpost with most people will probably fall
short of 81, which will be paid on the instament
plan in the smallest insallmens possible. Even with
large organizations that send out much mail, the
burden would not be oppressive.

out from behind the sassafras

"Chewing!" cried the bunny.
Chewing? Why, you haven't any

II don't need gum! don't need

begged Mr.. Wiggily as he noticed,
out of the corner of his eyes, that
Billie was sneaking away through
the bushes.
"Nope! I'll not let you go until
I chew and nibble your ears"
snarled the Bob Cat.

he thought sadly.
Get ready, now, I'm going to

"Well don't nibble very hard at

the bunny. Uncle Wiggily shut his
eyes, for he didn't want to see his
ears chewed, and, just as the Bob
Cat was drawing him close, all of
a sudden there sounded:
"Bang!"

Cat.

And away ran the bad chap, not

Dick wanted me to ask the Grays.
but they were so much older ! felt
they would not enjoy our party,
and that perhaps they might spoil
it for the others.
We played bridge after dinner,
and l had bought some very pretty
prizes. To my delight Agnes won
the lady's prize. Clara had sent her
Victrola up by the janitor, and so
we had some music.
Dick had looked so proud and
handsome as he carved, at dinner;
his sister had shown herself very
affable, while she, too, looked the
aristocrat, that l was as proud rs
a peacock. l didn't really like
Agnes Deland, yet was glad she
was with us.
She told me candidly that the
dinner was a success. She rather
spoiled it, however, by saying she
did not like Clara Watson. She
said:
Mrs. Watson doesn't ring true
to me. If 1 were Dick | should
object to your intimacy with her."

REDUCTION.

Judging from the number of let
tiers l have received lately there is
an increasing interest among my
readers on the subject of reduce
ing. 1 am always very glad to find
this, for somehow to me a fat
woman is q very pathetic object
in these hot summer days. There
is never any reason why woman
should be fat. 1t is so easy to re-
duce if one will only put ones
mind to it.
There are few simple princi-
pies which everyone must learn,
and after that the whole thing is
only a matter of addition and SUBJ
traction. If you weigh more than
you should you are eating too
much. You may not want to adj
NIT, few people do, but l am sor-
ry to say the fact remains, never
theless.
The easiest thing in finding out
what you should eat is to make
a study of what you are eating
now What you are eating now
constitutes your maintenance diet,
III is the thlng that IS Keeping you
too fat. Take a list of caloric val
ues, lists which are published in
this space from time to time. and
by use of them find out just what
the caloric value of your present
diet is. That it is too much you
will know from the fact that it is
maintaining you at your present
overweight. You will have to elm
mate about 1000 calories a day.
You are probably eating 5000 or
more. These figures are very gem
eral but they will serve you as a
beginning.
Another time | will talk about
the actual caloric value of various
foods. II you do not wish to make
study of these values you can
cut down on the amount of food

MORE IMPORTANT THAN GOOD
HOUSEKEEPING.

II always put my housekeeping
before everything else! I heard a
woman say virtuously. the other
day. And / thought to myself.
Then you'll be sorry, some day."
There are two things that should
come before good housekeeping:
Our health. and the happiness of
those we love. l have recently
written upon putting health before
housekeeping, so | shall not repeat
myself on that subject. But / do
not think 1 nave ever before pub
lished my ideas about the mistake
of putting mere things before peo-
pie.
Have you ever heard a busy
housekeeper-moth say to her
child: Run !aIong and play, dear;
mother has no time for you now"
OF course you have. We all have.
Sometimes the work she Is doing
is really of a nature that can not
be laid aside for a moment-but
oftener it is the kind Of work that
might be dropped for a minute or
two while mother takes her child
into her lap and listens to its lit
tie troubles or answers its eager
questions or does some little thing
for it that will make 1t happy for
hours. Although the mother is
working to make a home for the
child, yet she hasn't time to make
the child happy in that house!
Then there's the wife question
of being game" to go somewhere
on short notice with her husband.
Come on--let's go out in the
woods for supper tonight" sug-
gests John impulsively, running in
to the kitchen where Mary is can
ming. But Mary looks up with a
forbidding frown and replies: II
can't. I want to get these closed
preserve jars all labelled and
stored tonight so that | can have
a clear kitchen to work In tomor-
row" In other words, she takes
the Joy out of life" She puts her
mere housekeeping duties before
the happiness of loved one. And
yet she is working primarily to
make a happy home for him!
And let us not forget mother and
grandma, in our campaign against
our housekeeping seltishness-aud
it is just selfishness. and nothing
else, that makes us put our house,
hold duties before the pleasure of
others; 1t is hard for us to drop a
thing in which we have become in
terested, and to fly off somewhere
or take up some other work in
which someone else. not we, are
interested.
Many homes are blessed with
sweet-faced old people whose
hearts are as young as our own,
and who can still enjoy good time
when good times come their way.
But, unfortunately, the busy
hopsekeeper of the family does not
feel called upon to Interrupt her
working schedule to 60 on little
jaunts with these elderly dear
ores, or to make special trips here
and there to get them something
that will give them pleasure. Yet
they, even more than the younger
members of the family, are the
ones who should be made happy
for they will not be with us quite
as long as the younger ones.
/ do not want to make my read
er-friends sad by speaking like
this, but ! do want to impress them
with the fact that it is possible to
carry the good housekeeping"
ideal too far; apd that often good
housekeeping is achieved at the
expense of someone's else happi-
ness and comfort. To my mind, 1t
is better to be partly a bad house

New York. Aug. 5.--Further

were limited to moderate proper

Profit taking was active among
the railroad stocks. which were
most prominent on the recent rise.
