THE FOURTH HoRsEMAN.

The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse, who
spreads death in various ways. but who usually is
thought of in connection with famine and pestilence.
has seldom been better described than by former
Premier Kerensky of Russia in talking of the starv-
ing in his unhappy country. While the statements OF
Kerensky who is now in Paris, having been driven
from his native land by the bolshevik may contain
exaggeratons account of his prejudice against
the soviet regime, the fact that the call of the ALL
Russian central executive committee for the aid of
the stricken looks to the American relief organza-
ton to provide for 100000 children and nvalids
shows the extreme gravity Of the situation.
Never in the history of the world has such a
calamity confronted a nation" says Kerensky.
Never was such a mass of people left without pro-
visions, exposed to disease famine and plague Even
the great famines Of China, and India not to be
compared with that in Russia"
Unless immediate aid is given he fears the num-
Der of deaths in the country this from hunger
and pestential diseases will reach Is, $1,000 He
bases his statement upon information he obtained
from Russian refugees. Ten million persons he de-
cares have Joined the caravans that move over the
dusty plains in search of food with thousands con-
stantly falling by the wayside. No vivid language is
necessary to give the world to understand that condi
tons must be terrible in Russia and arouse SYM
pathy for the victims How could the situation today
be other than frightful in that land In view of the
fact that the people seriously oppressed before

HANDLING TAx-DoDGERs.

The soviet government in Russia has evolved a
system of handling rich tax-dodgers which had not
occurred to u.s. 1t took them out and executed them
This seems bit severe. We are trifle squeamish
for such heroic We might feel faint at the
sight of the bue-blood which would be spilled If
such a system were adopted in New Mexico. On
second thought the Journal is opposed to it. Prob
ably our opposition will make our tax-dodgers favor
it, They seem to be for anything to which are
opposed
Russia started in to show us how to ideal
government. Mr.. Lenine and Mr.. Trotzky appear to
grow irritated in the attempt They evidently were
decidedly peeved at these tax-dodgers.
We advise the species to stay in New Mexico. The
climate here is good Tor both "lungers' and tax
dodgers Both thrive under our benign influences.
In Russia they execute tax-dodgers. Here they
are invited to put their feet under upon the gov
ernor's mahogany furniture and tell him how they
want the law drawn so as to make them safe against
possible annoyance.
Once they did that way in Russia. In the reaction
they execute them This ought to make few gentle
men in New Mexico shiver: They a reaction COM
ing here These worthless begin to wonder what will
happen.
But they apparently need not worry gentle
slap on the wrist and warning to come across" in
the future is about all that is likely to be done to
them.
Something midway between what we probably
will do in New Mexico and what they have done i'll
Russia would seem about right We at least should
make ax-dodging less respectable and far less safe

REAL LEADERSHIP.

The building contractors have taken the initiative
in an attempt to bring about such a reduction in
building costs in Albuquerque will result in slim
ulating construction. They have fixed September
as the date for reduction of 81 per day in the wage
scale of all building crafts.
At the same time they voice the general discon-
tent the public against the maintenance Of prices
In building materials.
The communication of the contractors is good
natured and is lacking in any arbitrary tone. They
express wish for conferences the subject matter
of the letter.
1t is to be hoped that their proposal will be re-
ceived in the spirit in which appears to be written
and that an effort will be made to stabilize costs in
the building trades.
Construction work has slowed up perceptibly in
Albuquerque. Yet buildings needed How to
revive building should the attention of crafts

There was time when the public did not demand
a voice In building costs. Owners built buildings re-

pubic expects recession In costs and is waiting for
It, reasonable readjustment would inspire public
confidence.
If the people VIII not build, men can not work.
There is no way to coerce owners into going with
their plans. 1t is time when prudence, fairness and
wisdom are needed by all concerned.
The Journal has confidence that the craftsmen
will act with judgment Rashness and arrogance have

adjustment 1t is idle to shut eyes to the
nomic conditions which prevail.
This paper has wanted conferences on building
costs for long time. 1t foresaw stagnation unless
something done.
The test of real leadership is here.

PROGRESS TOWARDS IRISH PEACE.
(From the Boston Transcript.)

(From the Boston Transcript.l
The working out of basis for permanent settle

will satisfy the aspirations of republican Ireland. De

those associated with him proceeding cautiously,
endeavoring to themselves of the safety of the
path ahead of them. Nor have they far fol n1aily
laid the terms of the peace offer before the Dali
Ereann. They certainly not willing to accept
with precpitate haste the proposals Of the British
government.
Ulster in the meantime. is showing no particular
disposition to join with Sim Fein in forming ALI
Ireland national parliament, the latest report from
Dublin indicating that Sir James Craig has rejected
the proposals. but 1t Is difficult reconcile this with
the summoning OF. the All-Ireland national parlia-
ment. Sim Fein's delay in definitely accepting or
turning down the British peace offer may probably
be aseribed as recent dispatches from London have
limited, to the fact that 1T Is marking time until U-
ser, through Sir James Craig, her PREMIER shall de-
clare her attitude towards the British government
plans for bringing peace to Ireland We may be sure
that republican Ireland is exerting considerable
pressure on Ulster to induce her to take share in
the All-Ireland parliament, though she should
retain her autonomy in local affairs.
With the passage of time the prospects for a
durable settlement seems to be growing steadily
brighter Sim Feiners assuredy stand to gain little
from continuance of an .internecne strife within
Irish borders and each succeeding day of the truce
emphasizes more strongly the blessings of peace.
Easily the most encouraging feature in the pres
ent situation In ireland is the fact that the Irish
publican leaders busy engaged in studying the
terms OF Lloyd Georges peace offer.

them?
1t seems to be law of civilization that peoples
can learn only by experience; that no triumph OF
progress is to be without struggle-without
the payment Of price. 1t would seem that only by
such painful methods can backward people be
aroused and developed. The trouble of the Russian
people today is due principally to their own gnor
ance that has made it possible to fasten such mis-
government upon them. Out of the trial. however
there should soon some awakening that will start
them on the road to better government
AS for the rider of the pale horse, see, in the

the needy in Russia, that he is Judgment that

sense should have little difficulty in ripping away
some of the things now cursng Russia.

AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

1t hardly seems possible, that
the intensely loyal, patriotic citi-
zens of DENVER mean those who
have the money would allow such
a diversion from the straight and
narrow path of the past.
Such tendency toward anarchy
and freelove. Such evident inten-
tons to follow the teachings Of the
bolshevists, the socialists, 1.-The de-
stroyers of the home and family
ties" by making such a start upon
the downward road to perdition.
Albuquerque undoubtedly ought
to take immediate steps toward in
forming Denver of what she may
expect from the patriotic dailies of
the large eastern cities If she in
sists upon such q lawless course.
Some will say that it is none Of
our business what Denver does, but
those people should stop and con-
slider what might happen to our
own fair city.
Coal is now $3.50 a ton In AL
buquerque and will probably go to
$50 this winter. Twenty dollars
would be only "a fair profit on the
investment" but 1t is hard to
pound facts into the average mans
head and If Denver is allowed to
pull off this stunt, the more .gnor-
ant and lawless might start such q
thing in albuquerque.
Call a public meeting, Mr.. Editor,
and let us nip this socialistic, an
archistic thought before it gets
fairly started.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago. Aug. 8.-Improved ex-
mort demand together with pros
pective falling off in the domestic
movement, from rural sources. had
a bullish effect on the wheat mar
ket today. Prices closed firm, 2
to 2Ac net higher with September
s1.22 to s1.22A and December
S1.25 to s1.25A. Corn gained ss
to M@1c and oats u to n @ sc.
In provision the outcome varied
from 22c decline to Sc advance.
Germany and Austria were re-
ported as having bought 100000
bushels or more Of wheat, and 1t
was said other European countries
were also participating, helped by
a sharp advance in sterling ex-

and that the United States govern

prove bullish. A good domestic
milling demand was likewise fac

On the other hand. an increase Of
nearly 100000 bushels in the

friend informs us that he is authorized to say
to us that a certain prominent man is prepared to
buy $4,000 worth of Journal bonds if we will agree
not to support Senator Bursum in the approaching
election. Here is our answer;
When we get ready to sell our independence we
will advertise that fact in the Journal which is New
Mexico's best advertising medium and will sell 1t to
the highest bidder. We already know where we can
get more than $4,000.
The action of this man, If he is correctly quoted
by our informant is beyond comprehension He
has appauded our refusal to be dictated to. He has
pronounced our present policy of independence to be
the hope of New Mexico. Yet he offers his help in
keeping us independent only in case we will sur
render that independence to meet his view.
We know some gentlemes who willing we
should be independent upon every subject IN the
world except mine-taxation. We know some more
who favor our utmost independence upon every sub
ject except that of land office management We know
others who particular only upon our silence with
reference to the deposit of state monies Support OF
our policy with such string to it. is support OF the
exact reverse of our policy
We are willing to print articles all sides of
every question. We want the public to have all the
facts upon every question. We want nothing con-
ceaed from the public in the interest of any person.
faction or special interest This is far important
than our editorial view on any question An open
press is what New Mexico most needs.
As to Senator Bursum, absolutely honest
with our readers when say we do not know. Sup
pose for instance that there is reconciliation be-
tween Bursum and the old gang. Suppose at the
same time the democrats nominate a capable man
who is fit leader of the people We say unhesi-
tatingly that we would support the democrat.
Suppose, however, that Bursum openly breaks
with the gang and leads fight for the people II at
the same time Fall and the gang accomplish their
purpose and nominate democrat who Will serve
will SIN Bursum
Between these two extreme suppositions' are
half-dozen possibilities difficult of decision.
Until they arise, not forecast wise decision
Whom we do do not support will be entirely aside
from the question of who does or does not buy bonds
We neither nor will make promise as oondl-
ton precedent to the purchase of bonds
Perhaps we are too independent 1t has threat
ened our undong. But have fixed policy OF IN
dependence and of service to the public and will ad-

And it passed by the ashore. where the foam-aces

Where the city barouches only rarely are seen
There the queen played her Chopin in the high palace
tower,
And there listening to Chopin. the young page loved
the queen.
And what passed there was simple, and what passed
there was charming:
The fair page cut the pomegranate as red as her
dreams,
Then the queen gave him half thereof with graces
disarming,
She outwearied and loved him in sonata-sweet
themes.
Then she gave herself stormily till night shut her

Till the sunset the queen lay, there she slept a

Where sonatas are singing and where foam frets the
