p Davis head of the United States reclamation
service and investigator the Boulder project
will recommend congress that this government
enter into an agreement with Mexico for the
construction of dam near Brownsville, Texas,
to irrigate 600 600 acres Of land with water from
the Rio Grande.
What will New Mexico get from the Browns
willie project? The citizens in this section have
every priority right to some Of that water. In
addition, much of the Rio Grande's flow originates
in this state.
New Mexico wants a dam near the New Mexico
Colorado line to protect the San Juan basin. 1t
wants another somewhere in the north central part
of this state or the southern part of Colorado to
conserve the waters Of the Rio Grande.
1t would seem that one of the cabinet officers
in Washington might call Mr., Davis on the carpet
and ask him what he has planned for New Mexico.

FREE WORSE"
Consider free Yerse.

Consider free verse.
1t seems to be catching. One can scarcely pick
up magazine without seeing at least one speci-
men of it. Everybodys doing it.
What is it? Poetry? Perhaps some of it is
But some of it decidedly isn't.
Let's see.
The following was taken from recent issue
of magazine devoted to modern" poetry:
PRESENCE.
"You Your presence. Why I not dip
into your presence l dip into sleep, clasp
it and bask in it? How hold it? How SAVIOUR
it? 1t is more than | wanted. And less.
"Now you have left-you, in whose pres
ence l would steep around whose presence L
hover like gull the lake. And ere l
have tasted it, your presence is your
presence.
You have left You have returned to
Your presence longer disturbs from
you"
Deep stuff isn't it?
Of course the poet has some thought in mind
She probably is not writing gibberish. although
the product may sound like it. Very likely SHE
means that the physical presence of her beloved
makes her forget his inner, spiritual presence
which returns to her when his baser clay il
absent.
But why choose such a turgid paradoxical
hysercal way of expressing this thought? Ten
nyson could have voiced the same conception il
quatrain, and Pope perhaps in a couplet.
Affectionate--that is the answer. The writer il

phrasing for a less familiar notion She
is obviously striving after an effect which she
hopes to achieve by such neurotic paradoxes a,

Some modern needs return to nor

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A DOOR TO CLOSE.
(From the New York Tribun,

(From the New York Tribune)
The correspondent of The Associated Press at
Berlin reports the following interesting statement
by a member of the German government:
So long as the door to Washington is open
to us we do not propose to knock at other
doors.
Here is summed up the reason why the wash
ington door should be closed. TO keep it open does
not contribute to early settlement 1t does the
reverse. 1t encourages Germany to think that a
bombardment of Washington with messages may
do the Germans good and her opponents harm
In October, 1918, Germany. then knowing
she beaten, but wishing to secure negotiated
rather than an imposed peace, addressed not the
allies as a whole but Washington singly The i'm
plication was that this country not engaged in
a common cause. President Wilson listened came
near committing himself to the policy that the
war was merely be called off, with no guaran-
ties eXacted.
Fortunately, an alarmed public opnoin halted
Mr.. Wilson before it too late. But. unfortu-
nately though he yielded the specific point,
Mr.. Wilson was unconvinced, and later in another
way, renewed and stubbornly adhered to the idea
that in way he an outsider at Paris
and in a measure attorney for Germany.
The Washington door may be regarded as al
ready closed. If Germany has further proposals to
make she must knock at other portals. The pres
ent administration at Washington knows when it
has had enough .--. - -----

we are to travel and by the time
we reach New York it would be
out of style. SO after we arrive
you will have to help me fit my
self out with all ! need. Dad has
been most generous-for him. He
does hate to give up, but as
there is no one else for him to
squandcr his money on l sup
pose he thought he might as well
open up for once. He gave me
a check for $4,000 to buy my
rousseau. | shan't use it all, as
want a little of my own to
spend on our western trip.
"DO write and say you are
glad for me. l am very happy,
and shall do my best to make
Everett a good wife. My ring is
wonderful, and Everett has fair
ly loaded me with presents. You
know how generous he is. Your
mother is delighted. You know
she always liked him. She never
tires of telling how nice he was
to her on that first visit of hers.
How he gave her violets. etc"

There was but little more.
Father was just the same, and
mother was so patient and loving.

has given Peggy" l asked Tom,
feeling of jealousy creeping
over me. "She says he has been
most generous"
"Oh the same things any rich
fellow gives the girl he is going
to marry, | suppose"
"Do you think it is jewelry?"
"Probably-and other things"
Tom answered absent mindedly.
aren't you most through Sue?

it is two O'clock"
Peggy had some nice jewelry
which belonged to her mother. If
Everett gives her a lot more she
will be we'll supplied"
"JeWclry goes out of style like
everything else" Tom returned
as he started for bed. Everett
probably has given her odd pieces
which are very different from
anything her mother might have
left over, DO let the rest go until
morning and come to bed" and
making no attempt to stifle a
yawn he left me.
SO Everett and Peggy were
going to be married. I picked up
her letter and read it all over
again. of course it would be
perfectly fine to have Peggy live
in New York, but--well I
couldn't expect Everett to be as
nice to me when he had a wife
to look after as he had been
when he was a bachelor. 1 put
the letter back into the envelope
with a sigh at the thought. Then
after sending Norah to bed, l fol-
lowed Tom. But | dreamed of
Peggy, Everett, and wonderful
jewels all night long.

LETTING HERR GEORG DO 1T.

Difficulty is being encountered in the lorna
ton of German cabinet that will handle the
question of the allies ultimatum. According to
DISPATCHES received Sunday night, DE- Wilhelm
Mayer German ambassador to France, who mas
been summoned to Berlin to attempt to form a
new ministry is reported to have announced ms
inability to do
No person party in Germany seems to be
courageous enough to face the inevitable and as
sumo the responsibility for a decision as to
whether Germany will agree to the ententes re-
parations terms or allow the French to occupy
the Ruhr district. In other words, there is no
patriot in Germany big enough to see that not
only the most expcdient but the most ethical
policy for Germany TO pursue is to make cheer
full restitution for the wrongs of 1914-l9lS, IN
stead of haggling at every step of the way
Teutonic politicians trying to play the safe
game They realize that matter how the
cabinet decides the dilemma that confronts the
nation its decision will be Unpopular If the
answer yields to the demands of the allies, the
ultra -nationalists will howl that the cabinet was
craven hearted If the reply is negative and the
allies occupy additional German territory the OPP
position will cry that the ministry bungled in its
craftsmanship and lost to Germany an important
slice of her territory,
Therefore likely cabinet timber is being back
ward in coming forward. The German politicians
are willing to let Herr Georg do it.

As the People View It



Albuquerque, n. NJ, May 8, 1921.
Albuquerque Morning Journal, AL
buquerque, n. NJ.
Dear Sir: l quote from report
that appeared in the Albuquerque
Journal recently, covering "the
most successful meeting of the
state medical association ever held
in the state"
THE consensus of opinion on
tuberculosis seemed to be that by
the time one is sure that the pa
tient has tuberculosis one already
has a chronic case and the best
cure for tuberculosis is not to
catch it.
MANY of the so-called cures
did not really have the disease
The Dallas News of the same
date had an entire page on the
Texas State institution for treat
ment of tubercular victims. 1t Is
equipped with everything that sci
ence can suggest for the comfort
of the patient, maintains a herd
of fine dairy cows, and has a train
ing course for nurses" Some 7OO
patients are cared for annually, the
time limit of each being from six
to nine months. AS the institution
was established in 1911, the con-
clusion is based upon what may be
called a rather intensive experience
of ten years and as it gives a much
brighter outlook than the first
opinion quoted, submit it in the
interests of the element of cheer
fitness listed as one of the great
essentials to a speedy recovery"
Rest, fresh air, nourishing
food, checrfulncss and a good doc
tor are the great essentials to u

WATCH THESE IRRIGATION PROJECTS!

A special feature service has sent out story
from Washington about the Boulder canyon pro-
ject through which the colorado river is to be
shackled to turn American deserts into agricultural
lands" This seems to be a revival Of the old
Franklin X. Lane project to use the waters to
which New Mexico is rightfully entitled in the
irrigating of arid regions in California.
The story points out that the bill will be in
PRODUCED by Congressman Swing of Imperial, Cal
iforna. 1t is frank enough to state that the
water from the Boulder project will be used to
"extend the present irrigated area in and near

What the journal wants to know is: Where
does New Mexico come in? Will the Boulder can

basin where irrigation rights are prior Ia those

she put on her bonnet to go out.

But when he was left alone
with the little piggie girl Uncle

Squeakie threw her playthings all
over the floor, she made Uncle
Wiggily get her a drink of water
and then she waved her paws
around until she spilled half of
it, and then she threw a spoon
at the clock and nearly hit it in
the face.
Why, squeakie!" sadly said
Uncle Wiggily.
Il don't care! l like to be bad."
grunted the, little piggie girl.
Uncle Wiggily began to think
of how he might amuse her so

he looked from the window of
the pig house, the bunny saw
something that made him jump

'Ha! I know how to keep
Squeakie quiet" he said as he
hoped out, and Speakie, looking
from the door saw Uncle Wiggily
chasing an old rag dog. This was
a dog who went about, buying
up old rags, bottles and bones.
Wait q minute, Rag Dog,

Wiggily.
"Oh, | know what he's going

Squeakie opened the door and

was making the cutest rag doll

for eyes! Really he was!
"Oh, isn't she just too sweet

And is she mine?"

he gave the rag doll to the little
piggie girl, who was getting over
the measles.
Squeakie Rugged the rag doll in
her paws and said:
