THE UNIVERSITY DEBATE.

The University of New Mexico debated Monday
night with the University of Southern California
and lost, by a two to vote university OF
$50 students may well feel honored to have a
standing and classification which would make
California willing to debate with her at all
Added honor came when the local boys acquitted
themselves so well that one judge of the
opinion that they should have won.
The odds were against New Mexico. Local
men. were judges The fear of favoritism leads
conscientious men to 'lean backward" and makes
the problem difficult, =. r'.o.t t.,t.t
Only on rebutta did local men fail to
hold their own with their opponents.
This fact suggests the Importance of young
men learning to think on their feet" and to
express themselves with directness. and grace
Rarely is the average man called upon to make
a finished address But in his club, or union or
church town meeting he has frequent occasion
to express his views Leadership lies largely in be-
ing able to think and talk better than the other
fellow. .~4. AE,7 4s-t- ,.'...... .-.
Ii Men need TO learn to think, rather than to
remember. They need the mental capacity 20
attack a question and to quickly encompass all
its angles. Then they need the graces of extern
poraneous speech with which to give expression
to the thought.
We are not minimizing the Importance of
preparation. That. however, is largely question
OF the years of. study and work. Hours spent on
the specific subject is good but it will never be
complete substitute for long training.
General mental culture lies at the bottom of
successful extemporaneous speech
Beyond that presence of mind and a gracious
bearing must come from continual practice
Extemporaneous address needs larger place
in our curriculums.
In this instance we were proud OF New Mex
ico's boys.

BOOSTING NEW MEXICO.

The Santa Fe railroad is fully awake to the
present development possibilities of New Mexico
Advertising by the company in the next few
months is expected to stress never before the
resources and opportunities of this state.
A. NJ. Hove assistant editor of the railroad $
magazine, "The Earth" is travelling the state
gathering statistics for a booklet on New
Mexico which promises to be distinct improve
ment over the former publications of the COM
pany. Mr.. Hove is securing figures on yields of
grain, on the number of cattle on ranges and
stock FARMS on every known resource of the
state
The booklet will be prepared in the hope that
it will be truly representative of the state and
worthy of its industries It's circulation will be
wide, particularly in the sections from which New
Mexico draws immigrants. 1t will be good adver-
Using for the state.
Every commercial body in New Mexico should
seek to tighten the burden of collecting informa-
ton and see to it that of the states advant-
ages is omitted. ...r

THE FATHER. OF DEMOCRACY.

America today is celebrating the 17Sth birth
day of Thomas Jefferson, author of the declaration
of independence, founder of the democratic party
and third president Of the United States.
3lWestmoreand Davis governor of Virginia,
Jefferson's home state, has written eloquent
appreciation of the great American. We quote
from copy of this eulogy, which has been sent
to the Morning Journal by the University OF
Virginia press bureau:
M Jefferson wrought we'll for his age. His in
fluence touched the nation at many angles during
the formative period of the Republic. His versa
tility found expression in craftsmanship, letters,
architecture, medicine science and agriculture.
But. if he achieved much for the age in which he
iHed he achieved more for those who should
come after. Guided by the chart of human rights
he mapped out nearly century and half ago,
the world today is heading toward that equality
of opportunity which he said was the inalenable
right of every and every nation
His ideals of self-government to accentu-
ated by the World War, have become the aspra-
tion of peoples everywhere who have felt the
heavy hand of autocraey. 1t is the hope Of the
world-the beacon light of liberty guiding ma
lions safely into the harbor of happiness from
the stormy of national despair. y
NJ THE keynote of Jefferson's character his
love for freedom. 1t was his dominant trait. the
ruling passion of his life lie believed that hui
man liberty indispensable to human happiness.
TO him. the two went hand in hand--the one
unattainabe without firmly establishing the other.
A Striking example of this passion is afforded in
the inscription he wrote for his tombstone.
II was written after he had reached the summit
OF his and could look back through the
years upon the things he had wrought.
s7"It reads:
Here Lies Thomas Jefferson,
Author of the Declaration OF independence,
OF the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom
And Father of the University of Virginia. ?
In that brief summary OF achievements he
did not think it important to mention that he had
been president and vice president of the United
States, secretary of state in Washingtons cabinet
plenipoentiary to France and governor of Vir-
ginia."

Greece, the land of Helen, Penelope and

movement. The first suffrage convention in the
history of Hellas held in Athens Sunday The
king and queen were present. -...
You can't stop the ladies, once they make up
their minds to do a thing. While details of the
convention are lacking, it is fair to suppose that
1t was lively affair If things happen when
Greek meets Greek, it is to be expected that some

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A GOOD BEGINNING.
(Detroit Free Press.l

Detroit Free Press)
In his effort to "humanize the postoffice" Will
II. Hays did very logical thing the other day
when he went to the cabinet meeting and chided
his fellow members for holding all their mail until
late afternoon He pointed out the disadvantages
that are incurred when unnecessary peak load
is dumped on the Washington office every work
ing day by the government, and he secured
promise from all of the cabinet heads and the
president to get some of their mail off in the
morning 49,. ~
With that done, the government come
before the country with clean hands and ask bust
ness to do likewise Moreover by beginning re-
form at home Mr.. Hays did one of those little
stunts which shows that he knows how to get his
ideas into the channels of publicity A formal
appeal to the country to to the postoffice early
and oftener would have been nothing but formal
appeal in wilderness of other formal appeals.
With all the power of the government behind him
he could not shout loud enough to make the coun-
try hear his request. But by gently rappng the
president and the cabinet the knuckles, Mr..
Hayes made story which travelled to the ends
of the country and interested everybody 1t was
good bit of work and makes good beginning in
an effort to improve the postal service. s,.N'

A Busy Housekeeper: 'In
house cleaning time and other
very busy periods, L make myself
the following quick lunch to save
cooking anything: simply take
two pieces of whole wheat bread,
spread them with butter then
with peanut butter, and put a
layer of raisins between them,
This sandwich is a we'll balanced
little meal in itself, as it con-
tains protein, fat and sugar"
A Young Housewife: will you
please publish the following in
your column? | believe it will
help other brides to make tender
bread: For months and months l
trien to bake soft bread but it
was always hard and leathery-
then / tried not kneading it at
all when l set it up and leaving
it just like a wet, heavy batter.
My recipe is: Put 4 tablespoons
sugar, l tablespoon lard and 1
tablespoon salt in bowl and pour
quart hot milk over them; let
SJduu lOG o. VI an IlOuT OF until
luke-warm, then dissolve 2 yeast
cakes in q cup with a little of
this milk, add the dissolved
yeast cakes to the bowl, and stir
in 2 quarts of white flour. Cover
with a clean towel and set in a
warm place to stand over night.
In the morning, early, turn this

flourcd board and knead into
it / pint more of flour. Cut with
q knife into 2 loaves, take these
up in the hands and pat them
with flour, then put them into
tins and cover with a towel UNI
til they are double in bulk (about
two and a half hours); bake
them for as minutes in medium
oven. Other recipes may be all
right for good cooks, but every
young and inexperienced house
keeper should, in my opinion,
have this one TO begin on in
learning to bake delicious, tender
bread"

VERSE OF TODAY
AN IDEAL HOME.

(Minna Irving.)
The robin redbreast and his mate
Have found bungalow
Exactly suited to their taste
Beside a portico,
High in an ancient apple tree
And in a quiet yard,
Where folks are fond of minstrelsy,
And hunting cats are barred.
The view is all bird could wish.
A splendid strawberry bed.
And cherry trees that promise feasts
Of cherries ripe and red.
When honeymooning wanes at bit
And summer days are long
And all the rent that robin pays
Is nothing but a song. ..

both pushing hard, they rolled it
right in the middle of the road.
1t was dark there, as the trees
branched together overhead, and,
coming out of the bright sun
shine, Uncle Wiggily did not see
the big rock until he had run
into it "ker- bunko!" There was a
sharp crack and the bunny was
nearly tossed out.
Something is surely broken
this time" exclaimed Uncle Wig
gily, as he jumped from his seat.
And it is something more than
a punctured tire, too! l must get
out and see what it is"
See. l told you we'd stop him

to the Fox. Nov all we have to
cAo is go down there and nibble
his ears!"
They started for the place
where the bunny's auto couldn't
so any more, on account of the
broken spring.. Uncle Wiggily was
STOPPING down, looking under his
car, when the two bad chaps
shuffled up. Then Mr.. Longears
heard them.
"Oh! You're here, are you?"
he asked as he saw the Fox and
Wolf. you came to help me, /
suppose?" said the bunny. He
pretended to believe this, but
well Uncle Wiggily knew what
the Fox and Wolf wanted.

Fox. pretend we're going to
help him. Then Well push him
under the car and nibble his
ears!"
"All right" grumbled the Wolf.
Then he turned to Uncle Wiggily
and asked: What do you want
US to do, Mr.. Longears?" ~
well, if you will help me pull
out the broken spring.. said the
bunny. 81 have a new one l can
put in. Then can ride along
again as well as ever. Help me
pull out the broken spring.
"All right, we'll do it, said
the Fox. winking one eye at the
Wolf.
"Pll take one of these long
poles | bought to prop up Nurse
James clothes line with, and pry
up on the auto, so you can easily
pull out the spring." said the
bunny. Get ready now. Stoop
down and put your paws on the
old, broken spring."
The Fox and Wolf did this
thinking they could jump up q
second later and push Mr.. Long
ears under his car. Uncle Wiggily
pried the spring apart with the
clothes prop. The Fox and Wolf
stuck their paws in between the
spring, and then all of sudden
the bunny gentleman pulled out
the stick and down came the
auto, closing the broken spring
together just like a trap, and
holding the Fox and Wolf there
"Oh WOW! Bowl cowm howled
the bad chaps. Let us go! Wei
be good" and they tried to pull
out their paws, but they couldn't
LET you out! Not much!" said
Uncle Wiggily. "There you shall
stay until | can get the Police
