EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE "BABY CONGRESSMAN"
(From the New York Times)


It is hard to keep track of all the "blocs" form
ed and forming in this congress The farmers have
one, the ex-servce have theirs, the irrigation
lists working in group. there is Pacific coast
bloc, The latest appears to be the one dubbed 'the
baby congressman" This name might be in
ferred, given in contempt But it has been
defianty accepted by those to whom it was applied
as IL 1t were badge of honor. They body of
young members of congress-or, at least of men,
bers young In servicewho have set out to dethrone
the ruling oligarchy. These men, needless to say
come mostly from western states. Westward the
star of blocdom takes its way
Arrived in Washington, these impetuous gentle
men found that they were not so much g bloc as
blocked. They could do nothing against the veteran
leaders, particularly of the senate. Their own adj
jectve for these leaders is sene rather than vet
eran. They talk of the senate dictatorship" and
speak of 1t super animated" Hence the pro.
posal Indian fashion, to knock the old men on the
head and leave them along the trail by which the
progressive Baby Congressman have marched to
new triumphs.
This new revolt is evidently patterned con-
sciously unconsciously after the which broke
up republican harmony early in President Tafts
administration. Then "Caknonism" was overthrown
temp orarily-and great was the rejoicing thereat
But of the leaders in that rebellion are now
the hoary conservatives who are rebelled against
in their turn. So easily does the lapse of years
change a Baby Congressman into lean and slip
pered reactionary. But let the good work go on
"Maxima reverentia pueris debetur" Out Of the
mouths of babes and stockings in congress may
yet learn lot. Anyhow they will add to the amuse-
ment of nation somewhat in the dolefu
dumps.

FRANCE WILL REDUCE, If

Latest word from France relative to her atu-
tude at the coming armament limitation confer
cnce at Washington is that she is now willing to
discuss reduction of her army, and indeed Is anx-
ious to do So provided she is given that guarantee
upon which she has insisted right along, Of protec'
ton in case Of a German invasion.
In his invitation to the powers President Hard
ing said while in the discussion Of armament the
question of naval armament may naturally have
first place. It has been thought best not to exclude
questions pertaining to other armament" In the
present race for the biggest navies France is not
competitor. Her latest naval budget is most mod
crate. She has also been reducing her army until
it is smaller today than It in 1913.
But she is willing to make even further reduc-
tions If she can be shown that danger will re-
suit The United States Japan and Great Britain
have the big navy budgets Our alleged justifica-
ton is that of general defense but any Of these
three powers show that it needs great navy more
than France needs adequate army?
ANY form Of assurance that is concrete and
satisfying" we are told, will cause France to in
dorse the principle OF reduction of land we'll as
naval ornaments The United States has lately re-
duced its army materially. But" says France
syou are not menaced by a powerful next-door
neighbor You believe invasion will come by the
sea and so you building your fighting fleets.
Although it has not received much attention in
preliminary, unofficial, discussions, France will be
one of the foremost problems Of the disarmament
conclave.

THE CITY'S STAND.

It should have been a source of satisfaction to
every resident of Albuquerque to follow the news
stories of the phone-rate hearing at Santa Fe and
see how carefully the interests of the phone users
here were safeguarded by the representatives of
the city commission. The phone company gener-
ousy assumed the burden of proof and it must GER
tainly be admitted that the citys staff made that
burden unpleasant as well as extremely difficult to
carry.
w. A. Keeher. city attorney, justified the faith
which the city commission has reposed in him for
several years. On two previous occasions he has
represented the city at rate hearings-once with
reference to gas charges and later upon the ques-
ton Of higher street car fares He brought to the
phone hearing the knowledge of procedure and OF
law which the two former tests had given him.
E. E. Gano, representing the firm of Gano and
company accountants, assisted the city without pay.
j. N Gladding. city manager, spent much time at
the hearing looking after the city's interests.
George J. Burns, consulting engineer, contributed
his share. But it Attorney Keleher who fired
the bullets they made well as a few Of his own
manufacture He handled the great bulk of the
examination of phone company witnesses, in fact
all of 1t as far professionals were concerned.
Mr. Keleher pointed out that there is million
dollar difference between the figure which the com
pany desires to use for rate-making purposes as
the value of its plants in the state and the figure
which its officials have represents the full
valuation of the property for taxation purposes. He
very correctly insisted that the valuations
should coincide.
The city of Albuquerque the only one rep
resented at the hearing, although other cities were
as vitality concerned and some had more grounds
for anxiety. The only added cost to the city was
the actual travel and subsistence OF its representa-
lives and the payment Of a nominal sum to the
expert The conduct of the entire matter is worthy
q praise.

AN INCREASING PERIL.

The various agencies. state and national, de-
voted to the work of fire prevention, to be
especially anxious this year for a thorough obser-
Of the day set apart for impressing their
on the general public. judging from the amount of
literature they sending forth. This Is probably
because the menace from fire never greater.
Last year more than $1,000 lives were lost in this
country through fire and 1900 persons were in
jured About so per cent of these victims were
women and children. Fire caused property damage
OF 100000 600.
At the coming observance of fire prevention day,
October 10, special stress is to be laid the factor
of carelessness, of our national sins. We Amer
leans are Enthusiastically careless; we are too
prone to take a chance" We let property burn
up every year at a cost exceeding that of the main
tenance of postal system, or what we spend on
public school, teachers salaries. We have the most
efficient fire departments in the world They have
to be. The safety first movement has done much
to prevent accidents. We and must reduce the
number of destructive fires in this country.

NORTH DAKOTA A BATTLEFIELD.

1t is evident that considerable proportion. If
not a majority. of the voters of North Dakota has
grown weary of the process of bankruptng the state
which has been carried on by the Non-Partisan
league recall election for the governor, attorney
general and the commissioner of agriculture and
labor has been ordered for October 49, On the out
come of that election will depend whether the league
will pass from the stage in that state be given
q further lease Of power.
The fact that it possible to get enough sig
natures to force recall referendum may be con.
sidered as proof Of the waning strength Of the
league The various socialstic enterprises which
were inaugurated by the Non-Partisan league are

with few exceptions. Even the Bank of North Da-
kota, with deposits between s300o0,00O and $4O,-
100000, refuses to pay checks, though still open.
To end the msmanagement and restore the state
TO position Of credit is the purpose of the present
movement.
However, 1t is not proposed to abandon all the
enterprises in which the state has invested money
if the coalition is successful in the election. The
state projects which millions have been expend-
ed will be given under careful management chance
to survive. IL survival is possible. The movement
is at least a step toward the return to sanity in
commercial affairs and in the hands OF sagacious
men there is reason why North Dakota should
not regain standing.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND

BY Howard 3. CARTS

How the wind was blowing! II
shook the leaves from the trees
( and whirled them about as if maxi

Rosie" Uncle Wiggily was hop

blue striped barber pole rheuma-
tism crutch, looking for an adven-
ture. He laughed as brown leaf
came sitting down. tickling him
on the end Of his pink, twinkling
| nose.
Hello" cried the bunny rabbit
gentleman, looking up to see II
any more leaves were falling.
THAT might have been a message
from a tree fairy, telling me a Sc
cret. 1 wonder what it said"
Then he smiled ais he thought how
strange 1t would be to hear a Sc
cret from a real fairy. He came
to a little brook, where he stop
ped to get a drink of water. AS
he leaned over a merry red leaf.
from maple tree, dropped on his
neck. Mr.. Longears looked up, to
Sc whence 1t came, and there was
the mother tree--Mrs. Maple
smiling down at him.
Hello, Uncle Wiggily" she
whispered in her jolly voice, 81
am sorry my little Posie child
dropped down your neck. I didn't
intend to have her fall there.
Would you mind lifting her out ?"
For a moment the bunny gentle
man didn't know what the tree
lady meant, but when Posie, the
leaf, gave him a little tickle inside
his shirt he put his paw down and
lifted her out. Posie seemed very
happy to be In the bright sun
shine again, and with nod and a
smile away she blew on the au-
tumn wind.
my goodness" cried Uncle
Wiggily, as he watched the leaf
child sail away. WAS that Po-
sic? I must say I didn't know her
in her new fall dress. Did you
make 1t, Mrs. Maple?"
Yes, I made 1t. I am very sor-
ry to have Posie and my other leaf
children go away, but 1t Is need
full. We trees send out leaves
down to Mrs. Green Moss on the
ground, each fall, so they may
learn to help Mother Nature. So
Posie is gone. Thank you for
helping her out of your neck.
Perhaps may be able to help you
some day"
pray do not mention 1t. You
were very welcome to my help"
said Uncle Wiggily politely. But
I think ! hear Nurse Jane calling
me, and I must hop to my bunga-
low to see IL she wants me o go
to the store"
Saying goodbye to Mrs. Maple,
Uncle Wiggily hoped home. Sure
ly enough, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy
wanted him to go to the three and
four cent store.

stocks at Kansas City and on the
possibility of shipments being made
from there to Chicago. Besides,
loadings were said to have increas-
ed in the northwest and larger
movement of the spring crop with
in few days was predicted. Mean
while, despite the severity with
which prices were breaking, no
European demand of importance
developed except for such wheat
as could be obtained advantageous
ly from Canada. Rallies took
place at times as a result of COW
ering by shorts. but no real
strength was apparent, and the up
turns failed to last.
Declines in the price of corn and
oats were largely due to the action

AUTUMN STARS.

Autumn stars are the stars I love,
Hard, clear, and infinitely high
The splashng stars Of summer. low hung
Cypress . . with dreams of flesh;
Consume the earth with burning strokes {

Until its body chars then
Are born the cool, cold stars Of Autumn
Things above the flesh
Electric swift, relentless in high fixity,
They call the soul of man to enter
That high ecstasy of life
Perpetual surge of law unbroken
Ever eapnE on itself,
Its own fulfilment in its constancy.

THE Market


New York, Oct. 5.-The stock
market was under continuous SELL
| ing pressure TO-DAY. traders paying
little attention to improved indus
trial conditions, easier money rates
and the buoyancy of foreign eX-
| change.
| These factors were counter
balanced in measure by reports
adversely affecting Mexican oil
properties and the increased weak
ness of sugar and tobacco shares,
due to their more doubtful diyi-
dend status.
Leaders were freely offered from
| the outset, but became especially
heavy in the final hour. Mexican
Petroleum made an extreme de-
| cline of six points. Pan-Americans
were increasingly heavy and sea-
soned rails. steels. equipments and
motors lost one to three points.
Among specialties losses of one
to seven points were sustained by
Sumatra Tobacco preferred. Co.
lumbia Graphophone preferred, In
ternational NJ ckel preferred,
Pierce Arrow preferred and Kresge,
the latter losing more than half OF
yesterdays 12A point rise. Sales
amounted to $4,000 shares.
Call money was abundant on
the flow Of funds from interior
sources, the rate declining from
to Az per cent at midday on the
exchange, while outside loans were
contracted on per cent basis.
Authoritative surveys of the steel
and iron trade indicated further
expansion Of pig iron production
and corresponding increase of
manufactured materials by leading
mills. including the United States
Steel corporation. The copper
market also hardened on the for
eign demand for metal.
In it's broader aspects the sharp
rise of international remittances
was the most significant develop
ment of the day. The British rate
of $3.77A for demand showed a
gain of cents in the pound and
continental bills were higher by
four to twenty points. Drachmas
or Greek exchange was the one
striking exception, losing from 20
to 35 points on the countrys fur
Their military reverses.
Liberty and Victory bonds again
were heavily dealt in, mostly at
gains, exceptions being the Liberty
Sks and Victory ANS. other do
nestle issues were irregular, but
internationals were firm. Total
sales, par value. $17.250,000.
