WEARING "CIvvIES' AGAIN.

The army is put finally peace-time foot
ing by Secretary of War Weeks order permitting
OFFICERS and enlisted to civilian clothes
within the continental limits of the United States,
except when duty at a military post or
reservation"
During the war. wearing of the uniform was
obligatory whether on duty or off. Then
there 50 many soldiers about that the uniform
ceased to attract the attention that it ges now
when he forces have been demobilized. Both Off
GERS and enlisted will welcome the opportunity
to get into "cits" for change. Before the war it
was not unusual for enlisted men both Of the army
and navy to be denied admission to places of
amusement and entertainment when in uniform.
While the present order applies only to the army,
and soldiers, doubtless would prefer to doff their
uniforms when going out for pleasure, 1t would be
rash individual who would deny admittance
to a soldier or sailor in uniform. Since over 4O00,-
600 men donned the uniform there is Jealous re-
gard for what it means that would bode i'll for one
who might dare to insult it by intimatng that it
is no a proper garb for any occasion.
The uniform is not emblem of miltarism but
Of the willingness to fight despotsm if need be- 1t
is the badge of patriotism, patriotism that seeks
no aggression, but will permit invasion of our

MILLIONS NOT IN SCHOOL.

Dr. John ]. Tgert, United States commissioner
OF education, in addressing the National Education
association the other day declared that there are
more than 10000 900 children of reasonable school
age, in the United States who are not enrolled in
any school Presumably the commissioner, with the
1acts and figures available for his reference
knows what he is talking about That seems a
large number Of boys and girls out of school who
ought to be in school--a prodigously enormous
proportion of American children receiving no train
Ing for future citizenship The argument in favor
OF education of the coming citizens-and now the
women as well as the men will be in full nos
session of the rights and liable for the same re-
sponsibilities as the men-need not be recounted
and re-emphasized.
The pertinent suggestion is "What can be done
about this condition." Communities the states and
the nation are at fault in degree: thew have
taken upon themselves the duty of popular educa.
uon' they have in many cases passed compulsory
education laws; they have provided means of edu
cation in way. The community and the state and
the nation, cooperating can do more than they
nave hitherto done; they provide better teach

WAITING.

There are three important classes Of voters in
the United States: Those who will vote the repub-
hcan ticket regardless of candidates or the party
record; those who will unfailingly vote the demo-
cratic ticket regardless of conditions and those who
will refuse to support any party with unsatisfactory
candidates a bad party record,
The present administrations, either national or
state, pay attention to the first of these classes
1t is not necessary. They pay no attention to the
second class 1t would do good. The third class
is the one which them concern. Its decisions
mean success or failure in the next elections.
This should give the straight party man or
woman plenty Of food for thought. Would you be a
factor for good? Then make the party feel that IT
must your support in order to have it,
New Mexcos great drawback in the past has
been the secure feeling the party managers have
had that their partisans would "say regular" re-
gardless of the record The menace of an independ-
ent element, which would reward punish as the
merits might indicate, has not been held party
leaders in either party.
Political parties are all right and are, no
doubt, necessary to our present system Of govern
ment None the less it is the group which will vote
conscience directs, which makes the political
parties be good.
An election is approaching in New Mexico. A
well-aid plan will be put into execution by both
parties to infect the people with electionts, which
is a temporary mental disease that obscures
science and leads its victim to support the party
without regard 10 tne 1aCtS or the needs OF the
people,
There is primary law in New Mexico for the
nomination of senatorial other candidates. There
fore the people will have nothing to do with the
candidates The politicians of both parties will hand
the people handmade ballot Between the two
candidates the people must choose. OF course, the
voter write in but that only wastes
his ballot.
Therefore ideal condition. in which the peo-
pie might have a chance to array themselves
against their expoiters. is very unlikely to arise.
The situation probably is going 20 be very much
mixed.
In such practical situation it will be necessary
to make careful analysis of candidates and rec
ords and the probable future effect of the outcome
of the election. With such analysis made the
earnest voter will be compelled to do the best his
judgment and conscience direct
1t is a f1regone conclusion to whom the
republican candidate will be- His opponent is un-
known yet He may be wisely or unwsely
chosen.
Under these conditions a suspension of judg-
ment seems to be indicated, until the lines are
more definitely drawn.
If II ere is a direct benefit to the people to he
had in this election, advantage should be taken of
it. With no choice left most people will follow
their party incuations
The Journal is waiting, along with several
thousand others, to what may happen. The
public good should be the deciding factor

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CHOCOLATE CANDY.
By Howard B. CARTS

Lulu WibblewoLble the duck
girl, fluttered up the front steps
of Uncle Wiggily's hollow stump
to the bunny rabbit;
Everything is all ready now,
Uncle Wiggily Come on to the
woods with us and have fun!"
Mr.. Longears twinkled his tall,
six, rheumatism cruteh--excuse
me, l mean his nose-and asked:
What do you mean, Lulu
everything ready out in the
woods? Do you mean the Fox is
there ready to nibble my ears?"
"Oh, no; nothing like that"
quacked Lulu, making funny faces
with her yellow oil but we are
going to have a candy party i'll the
woods and we thought you'd like
to come"
"I should love it," laughed I'm
Gle Wiggily, and down off the
porcl he jumped, making such
jolly racket that Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy cried:
where are you going, you
funny bunny rabbit"
"Off to the woods after candy"
said Uncle WiggiIy.
"Oh, yCu are funnier than
ever!" exclaimed the laughing
muskrat lady housekeeper. Candy
doesn't grow in the woods"
mo" agreed Lulu, 'it doesn't
Nurse Jane. But wood grows IN
the woods, and with wood we are
going to make a fire and boil
some sugar, mOlasses and choco-
late together in a kettle and then
we are going to make candy"

PIRATE STORY STRENGTHENED.

Strength is added to the theory that pirates may
have been responsible for the mystery surrounding
the fate of ships and crews that have disappeared
off the Atlantic coast in the last few months by
the report of a skipper that his vessel had been
approached by another craft, which later speeded
away without answering signals At least the gov
ernment places sufficient credence in the story to
cause it to send out wireless warnings to ships at
sea to be on the watch for a craft that might
approach in the darkness with lights yelled That
is the manner in which it came upon Munson
liner 500 miles east of Philadelphia, according to
the report of Captain Giles who apprised the own
ers of the affair after he had brought his vessel
to port.
Fully a score of ships have vanished In the
vicinity Of where Captain Giles encountered the
vessel of mystery since the first of the year. The
unusual circumstances surrounding the disappear
ance Of the ships resulted in varied possible expla-
nations, among them being one that a sea marau-
der either a pirate a "soviet cruiser" was re-
sponsibe. These views later gave way to the opin-
ion that the missing ships had been lost in storms
Sill the situation remained puzzIing because it
seemed improbable that large a number of yes-
sells could be wrecked and leave no trace what
ever of their fate. Now the other theory has some
solid ground seemingly and, with that as a basis
1t is likely that the possibility of the operations of
an outlaw craft will be followed up until il IS
proved such vessel exists or until il is cantured
or destroyed.

ers and pay them more and thus build up a better,
stronger force for teaching; they can do much in
systemtic way to encourage the people to take
full advantage of the opportunities offered; they
can pass more stringent laws to compel school at
tendance and they more thoroughly enforce
those laws.
But the community the state and the nation are
not alone to blame for the 100000 children out
of school and growing up in Ignorance. The real
trouble is in the homes with the parents. The
parent who earnestly coyets for his children an
education always finds way to get his child to
school, Thousands Of parents do sacrifice and make
real denials that their children may have the op-
portunities of training.
The compulsory law we'll enforced will do much
But what will not inspire the best spirit of desire
the part of the parents to cooperate with the
state in the education of their children, the states

ton among the parents education that will reveal

cessity for education a part of the equipment

POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
THE GULF STREAM OF THE SKY.

On cloudless nights its course I used to trace
While faring homeward on the dim-lit ways:
A pearly sea-broad river flung thro' space,
Its isles ane shores with beacon lights ablaze
From garden, too, and easement I would scan
That drift of star dust, galaxy of spheres;
Inc suns fleet arrows, swerveless could not span
The gulf it svers in ten thousand years
on moonless nights in town 1 see no more
The mystic river awesome to behold
Only the beacon lights along the shore
Paled by our radiant roofs and towers of gold
have lain oft at nght-the stars o'erhead.
The forest still the river lisping by,
The embers of the campfire smoldering red
And roVed that ghastly gulf stream Of the sky

VERSE OF TODAY
LOST SHIPS.

Where have you hidden them?" asked the sea-
And from its rim an answer came to me
In lazy tumblngs like purple wheat
Upon the ivory shore-line at my feet
But scarfed in magic by the silver foam
l lost the message it was bringing home
Where are the galleons," cried afar
The Argosies the barks, the men, of war
The battened prinnaCes that rode the bay
The souls and ingots that you warped away?"
A White shape rose above the curving sea-
But fog swept through ere it could signal me
Yet on l waited till the world was night
Then CLEANED the shape again in fog drenched light
II was the lodestar risen from the sea-
1t was the lurestar come to answer me-
And lest | hear its beckoning reply
fled under hill that hid the sky

candyl Let me see, whose candy
shall l take?" He looked hun
grily around at the children, some
of whom were nlbbling chocolate
fudge. Just then Baby Bunty, who
had hoped away to tag a butter
fly, came running back, and the
Fox hOwled:
"ITl take Baby 3unty's candy
and then Tlll nibble Uncle Wig
gily's ears!" ,,...-
mo! No! You can't take my
candyl" said Bunty.
"Why not?" barked the Fox.
"'Cause you're sitting on it now,
on that stump!" laughed Baby
Bunty, "and you're stuck fast and
YOU cant get up to nibble Uncle
Wiggily's ears or get candy from
ANYBODY else. You're stuck fast on
my chocolate fudge! Ha! Ha!
Ha"
And, sure enough, the Fox was.
He had sat down on Baby Bun
tys candy and when he tried to
get up he couldn't.
Then away ran Uncle Wiggily
and all the animal children, safe
and sound, and each one gave
Baby Bunty bit of candy to
make up for hers that the Fox
sat on. So, after all, the bunnys
ears weren't nibbled. And if the

to burn your whiskers, Wiggy!"
Uncle Wiggily said he'd be care
full, so away he hoped with Lulu,
and soon they had reached a
clump of trees where many of the
animal boys and girls were gath
cred.
There We're Sammie and Susie
Littletail, the rabbits; Johnnie
and Billie Bushtail the squirrels;
Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, the
puppy dog boys, and Mamie and
Billie Wagtail the goats
"Hurray for Uncle Wiggily!"
barked Jackie, as the rabbit gen.
tleman hoped along.
I'm glad to see you ALL" spoke
Mr.. Longears. And now what
about this candy? I must take
back some to Nurse Jane-that is
if you are really going to make
any,"
"Of course we are!" quacked
Lulu, another girl duck. start the
fire, Billie Wagtail, and I'll put
the kettle on"
"PIl put in sugar." said Susie,
the rabbit
"Tn put in chocolate" chatter
ed Johnnie, the squirrel.
Il brought molasses and I'll
put that in," said Mamie. the
goat girl.
Soon the fire was merrily blaz-
ing under the kettle, and into it
the animal children put the diffeE
ent sweet things they had
brought. The candy began to bub-
Bile and boil, and a most lovely
smell came from he kettle.
Uncle Wiggily knew little
about candy making, so he helped
the animal boys and girls, and in
little while The chocolate fudge,
as it was called, was ready to be
poured out into birch bark dishes
to cool.
"And when it's cool we'll eat
1t, cried Baby Bunty, the lively
little rabbit girl. But now let's
have game of tag! You're it.
Uncle Wiggily!" and she tapped
him with her paw. Baby Bunty
was always that way.
They played tag for a while and
then, as the candy was cool, Uncle
Wiggily cut it into squares with a.
sharp stick for knife, and gave
each boy and girl a share, spread
ing the fudge out on / flat stump
for a table.
Some Of the children began eat
ing their candy, but others found
it still too warm, and laid their
pieces on stumps or logs to cool.
Then, all of sudden something
happened. Out of the bushes
jumped the bad old Fuzzy Fox.
"Oh, hot" howled the fox. I'm

Mrs. Lynn, a charming lddy,
Whose intentions were the best
Had a way Of saying things
That would not stand the test
Try as she would to guard her
speech,
She'd get herself in Dutch,
Until she hardly talked at all,
For fear she'd say too much.
There lived next door an invalid,
Friend Brown, and his good wife,
The invalid was tired of things,
And SO he took his life.
He went up to his attic
And with a good strong rope,
He hung himself, his wife declared,
Because he'd lost all hope.
Now when our lady next door
Said She, ooh, goodness me,
| must go over and extend
My heartfelt sympathy"
Her daughter said, Now, please
use care;
You know your greatest failing,
Don't say the least, the slightea:

To set the widow wailing."
"Allay your fears, my darlina
child"
The mother fond replied,
I'm talk as if 1 did not. know
That Mr., Brown had died.
I'll talk about some foreign things,
The weather we have had;
I'll cheer her up as best L can
In her bereavement sad
And so she went to call upon
Her neighbor with the grief,
And said, Dear Mrs. Brown,
It's quite beyond belief,
But the weather has been very bad
For the past three days or four,
It's been so rainy and it looks
AS if we'd have some more"
"The rain has added to my grief.
Said she of many woes,
II washed on Monday and I've had
No chance to dry the clothes"
"Just dry them in your attic"
Suggested Mrs. Lynn,

And fine to hang things in"
