Of that organization very anxious that 1t shall
remain in the state
Belen chosen originally as the seat of this
institution. Until 1t definitely settled by tbs
women that 1t would be removed from that place.
Albuquerque business men refused to consider the
matter Of its location here. They were unwilling
to enter the competition against neighboring and
friendly city. We understand that the school will
not remain in Belen. Santa Fe Clovis and other
cities are bidders for the location. 1t is fair, of
course, for this city to enter friendly contest for
the location
The Journal is without authentic information as
to the plan for the building and main tenance of this
institution If the W. c. T. U. in the state and ma
ton behind It, its future is secure, wherever
located.
1t has been intimated that bonus of $500
may secure the school for Albuquerque If nation
wide institution of this character be had for so
small sum. we should hasten to pledge ourselves
to 1t.
Boarding schools for girls, at little cost to stu
dents, more needed in New Mexico than any
where In the United States Nothing promising re-
lief from conditions should be overlooked.
If the business men OF the city are convinced
upon study, that the proposal is feasible the entire
city should get behind the project and secure its
location here. ...-.

OP I'M / S NJ,

There does not seem to be any effective method
of disposng OF the confirmed pessmist. You may
think you have him permanently suppressed, but
he will bob up sereney with his string of Jeremiads.
The pessimst is prevalent-you not suppress
him; the only course is to ignore him. Estimates
of persons who have been in touch with the indus
trial and trade situation express the opinion that
there million fewer idle persons now than
there were October l. which should lend encour-
agement to the belief that considerable progress is
being made in the transition to normal conditions.
One gratifying phase of improved Industrial
situation is that the predictions of persons who have
been trying to incte the resentment of labor have
not been realized. Numerous steel plants have re-
sumed operations, and others preparing to do
so. And the backing of present activities in steel
production and other lines is substantial than
the business of equal volume last year. Building
costs are becoming stabilized, the automobile and
tire industries are taking almost normal activity
and conditions generally are such as to give
for the early part of the new year.

THE MARKETS
(By The Associated Press \

New York. Dec. stocks were
hesltant at the outset of the days
trading but came forward later.
New nigh records for Liberty bonds
and the strength of international
remittances were favorable influ-
ences. December interest and div
idend payments were inaugurated
without strain to local reserves.
Call money opened at 5 per cent,
eased to Az to midday, but re-
bounded to 5 per cent In the final
hour and touched 5h per cent on
belated borrowings just before the
finish.
Dealings in the principal foreign
exchanges especially British,
French, Dutch and German bills
were on an extensive scale. An
nouncement that the Washington
government will aid in the proposed
reimbursement of Europe's fallen
currencies was a paramount factor.
In the stock list representative
rails and several European and
domestic oils were the outstanding
features. Standard Oil of New
Jersey continued it's upward course
at net gain of 9h points.
News Of the extra dividend on
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy en-
livened later dealings. Hill issues,
which will derive substantial bene-
fits from this disbursement, reacted
from their best prices and other
leaders gave way on profit taking
sales.

moLLoMAN AND TIE GovERNoRsHIP.

The friends of Judge Reed Holloman have an
nounced that the judge will be a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor next year. The
judge blushingly offers no denial of the soft i'm
parchment. So, perhaps it may be considered as a
fact. AS the first robin reminds of approaching
spring, this announcement reminds us that politl-
cal campaign will be upon us before we are aware
OF it.
We have no criticism to offer. Last year the
Journal tried in vain for many weeks preceding the
convention, to persuade men to say that they were
candidates and to announce the platform which
they felt entitled them to the nomination. Only
Governor Larrazolo willing to come to the sur
face and tell the people where he stood. Every
other candidate insisted upon conducting mean
ingess subterranean campaign. To the hour when
a nomination was made no other candidate took
the people into his confidence.
Judge Holloman may possess possible shortcom-
ings candidate Presumably he has political
enemies who will take the pains to tell soon
enough what those defects However the judge
possesses two qualities in need of which the state
stands He has the power of making firm deci.
sion. Having made it, he has the courage to fight
to sustain it., These qualities will multitude
Of political defects.
It a fair conclusion that the announce
ment of Judge Hoomans candidacy not die
tatcd by the old guard. 1t does not use such meth
DDS. Mum" is the word with it. Its candidates

Is not looking
The Journal honors any who will go to the
people who alone possess the right to give, instead
of to the bosses who usurp that right at times. If
Judge Holloman feels he be useful to the peo-
pie governor he is doing precisely the right thing
in saying In proper time he should tell the peo-
pie why he thinks
Whether the name of the next governor is Hollo-
man Smith does not much matter. But whether
he has program of usefulness and the ability and
will to promote its acceptance is of vital import
forceful personality, behind program o.
progress, is what New Mexico needs above all
things. We hope Judge Hooman will stay in the
race, net asking the office personal honor, but
fighting for 1t q leader and representative OF
those people who wish New Mexico to progress
man should be willing to put forward a plat
form and then stand upon 1t, inviting those who
agree with him to support him and those who dis
agree with him to support some who repre-
sents their views. Then we will get somewhere.
The Journal hopes that the day of avowed can
didacies and avowed policies has arrived in New
Mexico. We invite Judge Holloman, at his pleasure
to announce platform. If he aid in making
policies instead of personal libels the basis OF
campaign by casting the issues on a higher plane
he will have rendered public service
When candidates and policies become known the
people will be in a position to know whom they
should support

WORKING THE VICTIM

Despite fears he may have had of his ability to
undergo the round Of luncheons dinners receptions
and to bear up under the American plan of con-
ferring honors, Marshal Foch appears to be stand
ing up well. He may not especially enjoy the siren
uousness Of the welcome he has received but he
has endured 1t. Ever since his arrival it has been
continuous round of activity for him. If he
would have preferred less exuberant manifestation
Of American regard for himself. he has been too
polite to show it.
To a man Of Marshal Fochs years the constan.
attention must be wearying 1t is possible that
Americans are bit excessive in honoring a hero
bit more demonstrative than is needed to prove
our regard. 1t should be possible to exhibit our
feeling without rushing the object of admra-
ton to exhaustion. However, that is our way and
whoever becomes the target of our adulation must
bear it or take the risk of offending. The demands
we make on public characters admit OF excep-
tons When we have hero at home give him
no more rest than help. We treat notables
from across the sea in the way.

and, as quick as flash, she took
one of the electric light bulbs, OF
which there were extra ones in the
kitchen. Susie wrapped this bulr
up in a slice of cake, handed it to
the Wolf and said: Here is some

"Good!" snarled the Wolf. "I'll
eat that and then I'll nibble Uncl5

swallowed, at one large and inn

"Oh me! oh my!" howled the

when the ice cream and other

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
ELECTRIC LIGHT.
By Howard B. CARTS

One morning, when Nurse Jane
Fuzzy WuZZy came downstairs in
the hollow stump bungalow to get
breakfast she was surprised to see
Uncle Wiggily out in front with
Grandpa Goosey Gander. The two
friends We're pointing toward the
roof of the bungalow, making mo-
tons, one with his paws and the
other with his wings.
whatever can be the matter, l
wonder?" thought Nurse Jane.
Can the chimney be on fire."
The muskrat lady housekeeper
grew so excited that she nearly
burned the maple sugar pancakes
she was baking for Uncle Wiggily' }
breakfast. Out of the bungalow
she ran, her tail ribbon catchins
on the door knob.
"Wiggily! Wiggy," cried Nurse
Jane, whats the natter"
"Oh, nothing much" answered
the rabbit gentleman. "Only I'm
going to have electric lights put In
the bungalow, and Grandpa Coos
ey is to do the work"
Good morning, Nurse Jane"
quacked the goose gentleman. Tn
sure you'll like electric lights"
"Oh, just love them" exclaim-
ed the muskrat lady, clapping her
paws. "They are so bright, and
you don't have to fuss with
matches"
Putting electric lights In the
bungalow is a sort of a Christmas
present for you and me, jamie"
explained Uncle Wiggily. Though,
of course, there are going to be
other presents, too, when Christ
mas really comes" added the bum
ny gentleman.
"Oh, | hope sol" laughed Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy, as she thought of
what she was going to ask Santa
Claus to bring for Uncle Wiggily.
Well. the work of putting new
electric lights in the old hollow
stump bungalow went on quickly.
Grandpa Goosey and some other
goose workmen strung wires, fas-
tened them to poles, and in about
a week Nurse Jane could lust turn
a button, or pull a chain, and she
had as bright a light as heart
could wish.
"oh, it's just lovely-the new
electric light" exclaimed the
muskrat lady one evening, as she
sat looking at the bright glow.
DO you know, Wiggily dear, we
ought to give a little party to show
our animal friends how nice our
place looks all lighted up"
That's a fine ideal" exclaimed
Mr.. Longears. "And invite the an
