tbs BUSINESS OF EDITING.

The profession of editorial writing is given a
substantial boost by the announcement of a new
book, Editorials from the Washington Post" The
editorial page OF the Post has been in charge of
Ira f. Bennett since 1908. During that time it has
been noted for the high character of the work
exhibited there Mr. Bennett has been fearless and
patriotic while being sane.
The editorials a period from January l,
1917, until the day after the election last fail.
They are selected by Mr., Bennett himself, and they
present his views of the problems Of war and
reconstruction.
While the offerings not needed to form
opinion now it is of interest to know that oCcas-
ionally editorial writings to be preserved. 1t
will stimulate the craft to better work and higher
standards,

JUDGMENT MAY BE SUSPENDED.

The Journal has expressed itself upon the mat
ter of the removal of DR.. Frank H. II. Roberts as
president of the normal university and the selec-
ton of J. H. Wagner his successor. We be-
lieved that the public welfare demanded that this
be not done. But it is done; it cannot now be I'M
done and must be accepted as inevitable.
The normal university is one of our great edu-
catonal institutions We all deeply interested
in its progress. No one wishes to keep up a
feud which will imper its future. DR.. Roberts
has put ten years of the best of his life into
building it. Neither he his friends wish to
see that work undone and the ten years Of time
and the hundreds of thousands of money wasted.
We must start from where are, not from
where would like to be. If cooperation with
the board of trustees will help New Mexico, the
Journal wishes to lend hand. Only in the event
that a protracted fight becomes necessary to pro-
tect our institutions, will we indulge it.
The Journal has great faith in the ability and
high purposes of Dr. Boyd and John w. Morrow,
of the board. We confident that they would
have resigned except for the belief that the future
held possibilities of their being of use to the
people of the state. We will follow their lead and
await results.
We have reason to believe that Governor Me-
chem is giving the situation there his thoughtful
attention. II plan can be evolved whereby the
majority Of the board viii work with DR.. Boyd
and Mr. Morrow in their plans for the future of
the school, great and rreparable harm can be
avoided. Perhaps the board will join
them in seeing that politics goes further in the
boards action.
Mr.. Wagner possesses ability. If he wishes to
give himself undoubtedly to work as school
man. he can succeed. If he attempts to mix poll
tics into his policies he will fail. If he has
the purely political ambitions with which some
credit him, his failure is foregone conclusion,
What happens is up to him. The friends of edu-
cation in New Mexico will give him every chance
to make good.
In the meantime, the Journal feels that judg-
ment should be suspended and time be given to
work the matter out. One false step does not make
complete record of failure any than one
swallow makes a oumrner's day.

cushions of the porch swing. He
was slowly moving to and fro,
swinging a little, and thinking he
was quite smart rabbit to do
this for Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy when,
all of a sudden, up the stoop
came the Bob Cat-the BAD old
Bob Cat l should have said, for
he was bad.
ooh. ho!" howled the Bob Cat
to Uncle Wiggily, as the bunny
swayed to and fro in the porch
swing. you are sitting here all
ready for me to nibble your ears,
1 see!"
mo" answered Uncle Wiggily,
you are wrong, if you please. l
am sitting here to show Nurse
Jane her new porch swing"
whats a porch swing?" asked
the Bob Cat, who crept closer
and closer to Uncle Wiggily.
"Pm sitting in fright here"
answered the bunny gentleman,
and as Uncle Wiggily said that
he gave himself a push by shov-
ing his feet down on the floor
of the porch and he sent himself
back quite little way.
Let me get in and have q
swing!" howled the Bob Cat
Let me get in the swing with
you, Uncle Wiggily, and IL can
easily nibble your ears" and he
ran in close to the swing, which
just then, was far back toward
the side of the porch.
But just then the swing came
sailing along the other way as
swings always do, and, as Uncle
Wiggily had his paws stuck out
straight in front of him, they
bunked right into the Bob Gait
"Biffi" the swing and Uncle
Wiggily struck the bad creature
and knocked him head over tai
in a back somersault off the
porch.
"Oh! Obi" cried the Bob Cat
as he skunk away, II didn't know
porch swings were like that!
don't want any on my porch!"
I'm glad you don't!" laughed
Uncle Wiggily, as the unpleasant
creature hoped to his feet and
Hmped away "This one is fol
Nurse Jane, but 1t also saved my
ears" And when the muskrat
lady came home she was surpris.
ed and delighted as she sat in the
porch swing and had a ride.
So if our puppy dog doesn't
chase his tail so fast that he
looks like merry go round play
ing tag at picnic. I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wigily and the

was to be hung from the ceiling
of the porch by chains.
"Send it home this afternoon"
Uncle Wiggily told the cat gen.
tleman clerk who waited on him.
"Tll get Nurse Jane out of tho
way and put the swing up While
she is gone. She'll be surprised to
see it when she comes home"
at is very nice OF you" said
the cat gentleman clerk, twisting
his whiskers with his claws.
When Uncle Wiggily hoped
back to his hollow stump bun
galow, to which he hurried that
he might get home ahead of the
porch swing, he said to Nurse
Jane:
Miss Fuzzy WuzZy, would you
mind going over to Grandfather
Goosey Ganders pen and asking
him to. come here 2"
mo, / wouldn't mind" Nurse
Jane answered. but why don't
you go to see him."
"Oh, / want Grandpa Goosey
to come here" Uncle Wiggily an
swered, trying to keep his pink
nose from twinkling, so Nurse
Jane wouldn't think he was up to
any trick 81 have something l
want to show him"
IAN right-Pn CO." promised
the muskrat lady, as she tied a
red hair ribbon on her tail.
And she never dreamed what
Uncle Wiggily had as surprise
for her.
Mr.. Longears was a bit fussy,
fearing the porch swing would
come home from the store before
Nurse Jane had gone. But every
thing came out all right, and
soon Nurse Jane was hopping
over the fields. She had not been
gone more than ten minutes be-
fore along came the porch swing.
Uncle Wiggily had ready the
step-ladder, hia nails, hammer,
screwdriver and different things
he needed to fasten the chains
of the porch swing to the ceiling
of the piazza. The swing itself,
which was something like q little
bench, with side arms and a back
to it, was made fast to the
chains.
After some hard work Uncle
Wiggily managed to fasten up
the swing, and then he went into
his bungalow to get some sofa
cushions to put in it so Nurse
Jane would have soft place to
sit.
81 guess I'll try it to see if it
is safe" Uncle Wiggily said, as he
put the cushions in place and
turned the last screw. "I wouldn't
want the porch swing to fall with
Nurse Jane in. She'll soon be
back from Grandpa Goosey's,
And won't she be the surprised
old 'muskrat lady, though, when
she sees this?"
Uncle Wiggily laughed to him
self, and he sat down on the

POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOU BEN ADHEM.

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increaseD
Awoke night from deep dream of peace,
And within the moonlight of his room
Making it rich and like lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold,
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said:
What writest thou?"-The vision raised its head
And with a look made all of sweet accord
Answered, THE of those who love the Lord. -
And is mine one?" said Abou NAY, not So"
Replied the angel-AbOu spoke low
But cheerily still; and said, Il pray thee, then,
Write that loves his feow-men."
The angel wrote and vanished The next night
1t came again, with great Weakening light
And showed the names whom love of God had
blessed
And, 10! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest!

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A TAX SUGGESTION.
(From the New York Herald,

(From the New York Herald.)
Secretary Mellon recommends that the sur
taxes personal incomes should be modified
that 40 per cent should be the maximum in
Guiding the normal tax and surtaXes, and that 80
per cent should suffice after this year.
This is mertorous project. 1t will cost the
government practically nothing because people
whose income carries their taxes TO higher fig
than this put their money into the tax
exempts, of which there from $4,000, 100000
to $15000,000 600 available for investment
Secretary Mellon also recommends a curtai-
ment of tax exemption the part of states and
municipalities He is undoubtedly right in his
contention that it is unfortunate that they should
enjoy advantage that which the federal
government takes for itself its own bonds, but
it would probably require amendment in the
Constitution to bring the change to pass, and that
might be slow process, well as Objectionable
from Washington.
If Secretary Mellon gets his first reform he
will not greatly need the second. The taxes
on the ordinary business investments could com
pete fairly successfully with the taX-eXempts. with
only 80 per cent disparity maximum, just as
those Liberty bonds which subject to surfaces,
sell in reasonable comparison with those that are
exempt all the way up.

Asparagus in the Supper Menu
The asparagus season, like the
sweet corn season, is all too brief
to please the average family. But
the housekeeper who likes to give
her family the dishes they most en-
joy, will make the most of the
fresh asparagus while it is aVaila-
BILE. The following menus suggest
ways and means of serving it for
supper:
Asparagus Eggs Cheese Sauce
Tea Walnut Cake
Asparagus Eggs: Toast slices of
white bread and arrange them on
individual plates. Arrange on these
only the tender portions Of hot,
freshly boiled ana drained aspar-
agus. Then place a poached egg
On this asparagus-Iayer and pour
over all the following hot sauce:
Cheese Sauce: Melt two table
spoons of butter in a small sauce
pan; add 8 tablespoons flour and
stir to a smooth paste. Then add
2 cups scalded milk gradually,
beating constantly. Season with
is teaspoon pepper and IL
cups grated American cheese. Con-
tinue stirring until the cheese is
melted, then serve.
Walnut Cake: Cream IL cup
butter, add cup graduated sugar
slowly then 3 egg yolks well beat
en-; IL cup milk and / ga cups
of flour which have been mixed
and sifted with 2 1-2 teacups of
baking powder. FoId in the whites
of 2 eggs stiffly beaten, and add
3-4 of cup of walnut meats
