ROBERT Il. LEE: AMERICAN.

The southern states today observing the
one hundred and fourteenth anniversary of the
birth of the great commander, General Robert L.
Lee.
The entire country, however, today claims him
as a great American Northern historians join south
ern chroniclers in accaiming him of the
worlds greatest military leaders and a of
pure and selfess ideals General Winfield Scott his
commander in the Mexican war; said that his
(Scots) largely due to the skill valor
and undaunted courage of Robert E. Lee" and that
"if opportunity offered, he would show himself
the foremost captain of his time" Events justified
SCOTS faith.
No better appraisement of this great American
can be found than that given by the Encyclopedia
Britannica, which can hardly be accused of bias
either way:
ITO do justice to his extraordinary ability as a
general, displayed under circumstances of great
difficulty, when his movements were continually
hampered by political necessities well by
lack of material resources would require elab-
crate military biography; it was never more nobly
displayed than in the last hopeless stages of the
fatal struggle. = Political friends and foes alike
acknowledged the disinterestedness and purity of
his motives his sef-denyng of duty, and the
unrepining loyalty with which he accepted the
lluin of his party.

What's formality between friends?
One doesn't require a lawyers license to see
that OCallaghans status should be judged from the
manner in which he left Europe and the manner in
which he entered the United States. He left Eu-
rope as a stowaway-this much is admitted He
arrived here not because he wanted to the
on him, but clearly because he wished to testify
before the commission of the Committee of One
Hundred In fact, he has already testified so we
world or because the call of the brine was strong
need not conjecture about his intention.
This OCaIlaghan has been muddled suf-
ficiently already If the government finds that his
entry into the United States was regular, why then
he should be permitted to stay. But let us not try
to strain a point in his favor by invoking law
that child can see does not apply.

FORMER SOLDIERS IN .
ENGLAND SEIZE LAND

London, Jan. 1S.-Former sol
diers who were promised gifts of
land after the war, but who have
failed to receive it, are forcibly
taking it in some of the Hebrides
Islands, off the west coast of Scot
land The dissatisfaction over
failure to obtain land appears to be
spreading among the islanders.
On one of the islands the former
service men have seized and divid-
ed among themselves 5000 acre
farm, driven off the stock which
was on it and restocked it with
their own cattle, sheep and horses.
They blame the British Board of
Agriculture for failure to keep the
promise to provide them with land.

A LAND SEAMAN.

If Lord Mayor OCallaghan is seaman, then we

The chief executive of Cork left the "ould
country" as a stowaway the steamer West Can
non. When his presence discovered, after the
good ship was plying the high seas, his lordship
made virtue of necessity and worked his pass
age to Newport News.
Now comes Secretary of Labor Wilson with the
ruling that O'Callaghan landed American soil
with a legal status-that of~seaman-but that he
cannot remain here. He must ship other
vessel bound for foreign port. The secretary
does not say whether this distinguished freshman
can ship as q stowaway again. or whether he must

if IF had a penny!" said Moo
die, sort of sad like and unhappy.
ooh, ho!" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. 80 that's the trouble! Well,
here's a penny to buy a jawbreak-
en-" and he gave the money to
the beaver boy.
ooh, thank you!" politely said
Noodle. Don't you want to come
along with me and watch me buy
the jawbreaker, Uncle Wiggily?'
he asked the bunny gentleman.
81 might" answered Mr.. Long
ears. perhaps there would be an
adventure in it for me-"
There's only this about it,"
said Noodle, slowly like. 81 can't
give you a bite Of my jawbreaker,
for you can't bite 'em-you'd break
your teeth"
"Then / shan't try" spoke the
such candy. Carrots, such as Nurse
Jane gives me, are all l need"
So Uncle Wiggily and Noodle
went to the candy store near the
hollow stump school. Noodle
bought his jawbreaker and he was
just going inside the hollow stump,
to have the lady mouse teacher
hear his lessons, when, all of a
sudden, out from behind a bush
jumped the bad old Blue Nosed
Balloon.
II want something! want some
thing." howlsd the bad chap, LASH
ing around with his stubby tail.
do you want me?" asked the
boy beaver.
mo, l don't want you," howled
the Baboon.
do you want this?" suddenly
asked Noodle, holding out the jaw
breaker he had not yet put in his
own mouth.
what is it?" slyly asked the
monkey chap, who was very cur
ious, not to say nosey.
ITS candy" answered Noodle,
but he did not say what kind of
candy.
"oh, I love candy!" cried the
Blue Nosed Balloon.
Quickly, and most impolitely, the
Baboon grabbed the jawbreaker
away from the beaver boy and
stuffed it into his own mouth; the
Blue Nosed chap did. And then the
Baboon brought hi@ teeth and
jaws hard together, intending to
crush the candy. But something
else happened! b.
"Oh, my jaw! Oh. my jaw!"
howled the Baboon my Jaw is
broken" and away he ran through
the woods, dropping the candy
but not hurting Uncle Wiggily at
all, which he would have done
only for Noodle.
"Those candy jawbreakers are
rightly named" laughed the bum
ny gentleman as he gave the boy
beaver a penny to buy another,
which Noodle did after school.
So everything ended happily, you
see, except for the Baboon.
And If the sugar spoon doesn't
go sailing in the gravy boat, and
get cranberry sauce all over the
table cloth, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and the carpet
sweeper.

Young Housekeeper, "What Is a
"Tacky Party?' I am to go on a
visit next month and my hostess
writes that she is going to give
such party while I am staying
with her. Please help me out"
Answer: The word "tacky"
means "ill-conditioned," and a
Iacky Party" is one to which
everybody goes dressed in her old
est clothes. So take along some old
things to wear! The idea is not to
be costumed, but to look like a
trump. This kind of party is great
fun. If you could get hold of one
of the waists worn during the
Gibson-girl period with leg-of-
mutton sleeves (full at the top)
and one of the hats worn at that
time the kind that curved up over
a full pompadourD you will be as
tacky as anybody there. You might
have rat" plainly showing from
some part of your hair and have
the tongue gone from one shoe or
the shoe-trings badly knotted. The
person who has never been to a
tacky party has missed a great
deal of fun.

by letting them be entirely killed
off in the Zunls2 We kniw how
this system has worked iii the PAST:

matter how short the season, or
how limited the bag, deer and Wild
turkey have been wiped out in
place after place. The fallacy in
hoping foc game production by the
traditional method i% Obvious: tic
annual open season does not pro-
vide safe breeding places for game
and it takes no account of special
local dangers 20 ganle--such as
good roads, proximity to cities,
overshooting, etc. The game COM
mission bill does both. 1t provides
for the creation u refugees; 1t pro-
vides for iocal closed seasons where
game is IN such critical danger as
to need special protection.
OF course. Under the proposed
law, there would still be identical
open seasons throughout the state
as to species or places needing
special drastic protection. The
commission is not to have authority
to open, extend, or shorten seasons
fixed by the legislature; 1t can
merely establish closed seasons as
a special measure Of protection.
Mr.. Brinton charges the game
protective associations with repre-
senting special interests" They
do represent the special interests"
of the great body of sportsmen, or
ganized and unorganized, and still
more the special interests" of our
fast diminishing wild life. The
NEW MthlCO STdlilc 1lUlcCllNc do-
sociation is deeply interested in the
preservation of free grounds for

future will not, be confined exclu-
sively to expensive hunting clubs
We have free hunting grounds
of vast extent in the state and fed
eral lands of New Mexico. What
is now needed is an intelligent
method of perpetuating the game
on them. Anybody who studies the
question irnpartially must admit
that the present system is not pro-
ducing the game and never will
produce it. Tho question then is:
shall we make intelligent provision
for the future by practicing some
measure of self denial and restraint
now, or shall we go ahead and
hoodwink ourselves into believing
that we can produce game out OF
nothing as magician produces
rabbits from hat

rbe Proposcd Game Commission.

The Proposed Game Commission.
January IS, 1921.
Editor Albuquerque Morning
Journal
Dear Sir:
Mr., George M. Brinton, of Carls-
bad, writing in your issue of jan
uary IS, favors standing pat on the
present system of game protection
and opposes the creation of Game
Commission that would have real
power to deal intelligently with
game. Mr.. Brinton's main objec5
tons are three; first, that COM
mission could not safely be entrust-
ed with such powers as the creation
of game refugees, the enforcement
of local closed seasons, ETC.; sec
ond, that game protective asSocla-
lions are working for certain local
closed interests rather than for the
public at large; and, third, that
the real enemy of big game is not
mankind, but the predatory AMI
mails, particularly mountain lions.
Beginning with the first, will Mr..
Brinton explain why for untold
ages great variety of big game
deer, elk, antelope, buffalo, noun
tain sheep. wild turkeys-flour-
ished in New Mexico in vast num-
bers until the coming of the white
man and particularly of the, de-
structiVe Anglo Saxon? Within the
lifetime of men not yet old ante
lope lived in vast herds on our
plains. in the days of the Span
ish explorers and colonists, elk and
mountain sheep were abundant
everywhere. The destruction of
these fine animals is due to the
Anglo Saxon, the thirty-thirty, and
the kind of game laws Mr.. Brinton
advocates. No one denies that
mountain lions and other predatory
animals do destroy much game. but
it is not true that the disappear
ance of our big game is due main
ly or even in large part to preda-
eious animals. And is Mr.. Brln-
ton not aware of the fine work be-
! ing done by the U. s. Biological
| Survey in cooperation with the
State of New Mexico in killing nox-
| ious animals and is he not aware
tnat the Ola bounty SybltIh HoS q
failure? Ever since it's organiza-
ton the New Mexico Game Pro"
tective Association has strongly adj
vocated the destruction of these
costly animals; but by expert scien-
tific methods sucn as those now
employed, and not Ky the antiquat-
ed bounty method.
Now as to- the powers of the pro-
posed commission. II Mr.. Briaton
is approaching the problem OF
! game protection from the angle
I of giving every man the utmost
personal liberty" in killing game
without regard to any of the SOUND
principles of game management, he
can do no better than to oppose
the creation of d Game Commission
endowed with power. We cannot
produce game by nursing the ten
der susceptibilities of local selfish
interests; by never creating a game
refuge for fear of hurting the eee!'
ings of nearby inhabitants; by
never under any circumstances in
