NO BACKWARD STEP.

The creed which appears at the head of this
column was left standing there for a period of
time in order that readers might repeatedly
see it. We hoped that it might become your creed,
as far as political appointments were concerned
and might lead to standards of service, effic-
iency and integrity in New Mexico.
There is doubt about the ability of the
people to fix the standards, If they will to do so.
If the public will accept incapable and indecent
appontees without furnishing their sponsor for his
perfidy toward the people. bad appointments
will continue to be made. When bad appoint
ments become suicidal to politicians, they will
stop making them.
The Journal does not wish to over-emphasze
the importance of good appointments. 1t does
want to lay all possible stress upon the need of
a high requirement by the public. Then bad
appointment slipped by the people now and then,
will do little harm. But while the public accepts
them as a matter of fact and inevitable, there
is need of preaching the gospel of civic decency.
We must set ideals Of what demand high.
We then can bring the appointing power to a bet
ter grade Of appointees.
Tomorrow this creed will be taken from the
head of this column We have other subjects
which, in their turn, ought to be emphasized We
trust our readers will understand that the Journal
does not recede one whit from its loyalty to this
creed. We will unfailngly condemn improper
amendments.

MEANS MORE TROUBLE WITH FRANCE
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
SPEED THE SOLDIERS REWARD.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

(From the Chicago Tribune)
Chairman Penrose Of the senate finance com
mttee has named a subcommittee to inquire into
the actual need for soldiers bonus law. 1t is to
be hoped that this action will speed the necessary
legislation. There has been by far too much delay
in this matter of granting justice to the young
men Of the nation who left their jobs their pro-
fessions their business connections, importing
their economic future II not their lives, to
their country.
The actual need OF the law should require
little investigation. 1t is estimated that than
5000 veterans of the world out of work
in Chicago alone. Hundreds marched through the
loop a few days ago in an appeal for jobs. They
did not ask for charity but for work The money
which they sacrificed in service would help to tide
them over their pressing present need. The nation
accepted that sacrifice. 1t should be willing to
adjust its obligations toward these men at least in
part by granting them the financial aid which is
their due.
their wages against this rainy day, If they
had not been called to war. Perhaps many would
even now spend the money fooshly Perhaps
others have pressing need. But none of these
things relieves the nation of its moral obligation
to help provide for the men who provided for 1t
in the time of need.
The need Is most urgent, of course, for those
who are out of work, without food shelter. But
even among those who have jobs there is legiti-
mate demand for justice Many Of these latter made
great financial sacrifices to go into the war. In
addition to those sacrifices they are now COM
they helped to win Even a small rebate in the
form of bonus would be nothing more than
justice to such men.
Many persons in this country who did not en-
gage in war activities inclined. in self
defense. to belitte the service of those who did

the rest of us will take turns
pushing and whirl!ng them
around. I'll get a lot of other
bugs"
soon after Uncle Wiggily went
to tell the scissor grinder bear
gentleman to come and get the
toadstool to fix it. in through
the window crawled the June
Bug, some crickets, grasshoppers,
some Lady Bugs and some Gen
tlemen Bugs.
Now don't make any noise!"
buzzed the June Bug, "and Wen
have a lot of fun"
So as many of the bugs as
would fit, took their places on
the toadstool in Uncle Wiggily's
bungalow, and the other bugs,
getting some long pieces of stiff,
dried grass for poles, began push
ing the top part of the toadstool
around.
My! How it turned, twisted and
twirled, just as the piano stool
does only, of course, not getting
taller or shorter.
"Oh, what fun this isl" cried
the. June Bug, who was helping
push.
please let me off" chlrped a |
cricket. I'm getting dizzy from
going so fast"
The cricket hoped off and the |
June Bug flew on, and round |
wen the merry to dstool again.
Then along came the scissors
grinder bear to get Uncle Wig
gily's seat to mend it But when
the bear gentleman looked in the
room, and saw all the bugs hav-
ing a merry o-'round ride, he
laughed so hard that he shook
the dishes in the china closet.
whats the matter?" asked
Nurse Jane, running in. And when
she saw how the bugs had made
a merry go-'round of Uncle Wig
gilys whizzie toadstool seat, the
lady had to laugh also.
Its too bad to spoil their
fun" said the bear. "I'll get Mr..
Longears a new toadstool, and let
the bugs keep this old one. I'll
set 1t out in the woods for them"
And he did, and the bugs had
lots Of fun riding on the whiz-
zing toadstool, while Mr.. Long
ears ate his supper from a new
-oadstool, the top of which was
on good and tight.
So you see sometimes the bugs
and animals have fun as we'll as
adventures, And If the rain drops
don't tickle the umbrella in the
ribs and make it laugh so 1t
turns inside out, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the vel
low flowers.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
TOADSTOOL.

All of a sudden one morning.
when Uncle Wigglly was eating
breakfast in his hollow stump
bungalow, he reached over to help
himself to another carrot pan
cake and he fell down to the
floOr-ker bunko!
Dear mel" exclaimed Nurse
June Fuzzy Wuzzy. the muskrat
lady housekeeper. Whatever is
the matter. Wiggy. my dear? Are
you hurt?" and she jumped right
over the table. she was so ex-
cited, and helped the bunny rab-
bit gentleman to his feet.

Mr.. Longears, as he brushed some
cookie crumbs off his pink.

ITS my toadstool seat. The top is
loose and when l turned quickly

that made all the trouble. Nurse

They both looked at Uncle
Wiggily's toadstool. Surely enough
the round top part was loose and
1t spun around just like a piano
stool when the little kitten tries
to ride horsie back on 1t to
the moving pictures.
II must send this toadstool

TESTS OF CHARACTER.

The head of surety company some days ago
expressed the conviction result of his observa-
ton that married men, fat men and profane men
offer the best risks in his business. There may be
a valid reason why married men would be deferred
from violating a trust even though under other
circumstances they might not refrain Family dis
grace and the pain that would be inflicted in
nocent persons through the husbands crimes might
operate to keep them in the straight path, though
there might be just powerful reason for the
unmarried man with parents and brothers and
sisters to avoid peculation.
1t may be that fat disposed toward
good nature and that easygoing man is not
tempted to go wrong because 1t would involve too
much trouble. Profanity by some one has been
defined due to a limited vocabulary. Because
is unable to command approved words of
sufficient strength to express his feeling he in
terlards his remarks with profanity on the prin-
ciple that the statement is thereby strengthened.
But why should with limited command of
language be better risk than who uses good
English and is able to express his thoughts with
out the use of profanity?
1t is probably true that profane
outspoken transparent and less subtle than
self-tained men. Perhaps their explosive quality
acts as a safety valve to their conduct In any
event profanity would be merely the result of their
type. 1t could not be the cause of their conduct.
If observation supports the view expressed by
the surety company official it is coincidence rah
er than cause and effect. Ones reliability
tainly depends ones principles rather than on
ones marital state, corpulency or manner of
speech 1t is the inner man, the part Of the man
that cannot be seen. that determines ones trust
worthiness 1t may be revealed partly by ones
language, it may show in his countenance, his
family relations may offer proof but were
to rely solely being married, fat and
profane long chance would be taken.
Integrity Is quality that cannot be de-
termined by surface Indications 1t has to be de-
termined in living. The honest may meet all
three of the superficial conditions laid down but
he is honest not because of them but because it

up with two Dicks in the

MORE RECIPES FOR PUTTING
UP STRAWBERRIES.

Last Wednesday I gave direc-
lions for canning strawberries by
the Cold Pack method. Today /
am going t, take up other ways Of
putting them up.
My Neighbours Way of Canning
Strawberries: (This is an out-of-
the-ordinary recipe which is used
by a neighbor-friend of mine who
worked it out on herself and will
use no other method). Hull and
wish the berries, then crush one
fourth Of them, straining the juice
into your preserving kettle. To
pint of this juice add l pint of
granulated sugar and 1-2 pint OF
cold water; let it simmer for 90
minutes, then take the kettle off
the range anu skim the juice. Now
fill hot, sterilized jars with the re-
naming berries, as you used one
quarter of the amount to crush,
you ill have three-quarters of the
original quantity left). Place the
filled jas on the rack in your wash
boiler, in which there is only
enough hot water to cover the
rack. Pour the prepared hot strip
over the berries in the jars to with

not press down the side wire. Now
add hot water until it comes half |

mind, this is very important |
point. For, you can say what you
