\ TWO-SPOT.

w. A, Hawkins of Eel Paso says the Journal
misquoted his testimony before the Finance Com
mitee in its hearing on mine taxation.
The statement of the gentleman from Texas
was so aimess pointless and contradictory
that it would be difficult to quote him correctly.
Yet we insist that made good-faith effort to do
so. Mr. Clinton p. Anderson handles that matter
in his own column today. MI Hawkins certainly did
not say what he now insists that he said. He has
corrected" his remarks with his usual hberality.
Whether he was "double-crossing' the people,
the republican party the mine owners all
three, was an open and disputed question when he
had finished. He defended the present mine tax
law, including the contiguous property clause. He
did this vigorously as to embarrass Mr.. Charles
Springer aRd Mr.. Percy Wilson, both of whom had
admitted the injustice of this clause and had RECON-
mended its repeal He passed the buck" to the
state tax commission and laid the shortcomings of
the law upon their administrative incompetence, He
advised the republican party to "break them -
when asked about it's platform pledges, He dis
avowed wanting to take any position as to.the kind
of law which should be enacted. He was for an
ad valorem tax if Observation-Disclosures that meant.
In fact, this sinuous and oily gentleman pro-
ceeded to muddy the water in every way posi-
BILE. Everybody wondered why Nobody could tell
whom he after what he trying to do.
With his bland cherubc smile; with his habit
of washing his hands continually with invisible soap
in inperceptibe water, the listener was chilled at
his insncerty. Yet the distinct impression that
he trying to do something to somebody.
Once the most powerful, dangerous and willy
politician in New Mexico, the people have gradual
ly got his number until he is no longer a factor
even among his old associates He is distinctly
"has-been" He has become too much of load
for the special interests and wants to carry
him.
The Phelps-Dodge-E. P. & s. w. interests would
do well to keep him busy trying justice court
His presence at such hearing hurts their cause.
After all it seems too bad that brilliant
and powerful if insincere leader has passed
with yesterday.
1t makes little difference what he really said. 1t
is not important whether "two-spot" in the dis.
card is red or black.

OUR PLATFORM.

1. A primary election law which win
store the power to the hands of the people,
where 1t belongs.
g A non-partisan commission of three or
five to have charge of our school and institu-
tlonaI lands, and the permanent trust funds
derived therefrom.
g. A fair, ades nate and Just tax law which
will equitably distribute the burdens OF gov
ernment. We have especial reference to the
mining tax laws, although we will seek to
reach any other evaders, big or little, whom
we find. We favor a mine tax law based
upon ad valorem property basis, as other
property is taxed.
A. A fuller budget system for the state in
an effort to put state expenditures an eff
Client, economical and progressive basis.

plain that failure to pass these revenue laws will
not be a violation of the platform pledge.
Not only good faith but public necessity as
well, demands the passage of these laws. Without
them the state will be upon the verge of bank
ruptcy TO fail to pass them means that the repub-
lican party will prove itself incompetent to deal
with difficult situation.
If these laws enacted and then they fail
to produce the necessary revenues, the mine own
ers will be free from responsibility for the bad
situation resulting. If these laws defeated by
the mine owners and bad financial situation re-
suits, the public cutlery against the mines will make
it difficult to deal justly with them. These gentle
men should sense this situation and secure just
law while one wants them penalized.
The future of both the mine owners and the
republican party is at stake The present state of
the public mind will not endure being trifed with
Safety lies nowhere but in constructive action.

LOYAL COOPERATION.

"You newspaper fellows always telling PEG.

pay to take the time?" he continued Il set out the
other day to bundle up old newspapers and it took
half an hour and l got just fifty pounds
will get about 20 cents for them. That gives me
40 cents hour for my time which should be
worth several dollars hour. 1t doesn't pay"
This mans point of view illustrates how hard
it is to get people to cooperate in community
movements unless they a definite personal re-
turn. If everyone would cooperate to save old
down. Saving old paper that paper contain
ers and wrappers and many other things can be
produced for less with smaller tax on the con
sumner.
But of course people must cooperate generally,
if the individual is to get full return for his time.
The return old paper is not merely what you get
from the junkman The millions Of people who are
saving old papers. keep down the price of every
thing made out of paper stock People should CO.
operate to take their share of this general COM

or not they immediate personal gains you are

WHITE EAGLE.

White Eagle, poet of his race,
Is travelling eastward, friends of mine.
YouI know him by his kindly face
And by his beads of old design;
YouI note he has a wistful eye
In which there swim unspoken dreams
The forests and the great wide sky
The praires and the mountain streams.
And he is spare and 1.-THE of frame
Nor can he hear the birds that sing,
But he has loved them just the same
And mended many broken wing;
His speech is pitiful and SLOW
Sad relic Of a feyers touch
Yet<he is glorious to know h"
And in his way can tell you much.
out of his struggles he has caught
The music of the rolling spheres,
And though untutored and untaught,
And though he walks with silent ears,
He still has found way to sing
The beauties of his life and ours
The great free Eagle on the wing,
And the divinity of flowers.
White Eagle, poet of his race,
Is travelling eastward, friends of mine,
And on his tanned but kindly face
There's printed many lovely line
Be kind to him, as he would be ...
To me were from home afar-
For my sake. let White Eagle see
How white and kind my yeople are.

CHAPTER LIV.
The next morning Helen and /
started out about ten o'clock. We
would go to the French shop
first, then il we found nothing
there that just suited me, Helen
knew of another place where she
said she could introduce me. She
wanted me to plan to stay out for
luncheon. but l told her | must
hurry back on account of the
baby. Norah couldn't do much
for him with her hand and arm
bandaged.
What color are you going to
get?" Helen asked when we were
seated in the subway.
Il had thought of a black net"
I replied, then l could get a lot
Of wear out of it without it's being
so evident | was wearing the
same dress"
Don't think of such thing as
buying a black dress this season"
Helen replied. "In the first place
no one is wearing black--no one
| but old fogies--and in the next
place you won't look nearly as
well. Why not buy a pink, or
deep rose, if you don't want too
delicate a color?"
I'D love q rose colored dress
but it is such a conspicuous col
or. And you know, Helen, l can't
have very many clothes, not now
at any rate"
you should have them now.
You won't care when you get old
| and wrinkled whether you have
pretty clothes or not. It's when
you're young that you need pretty
things / only wish | knew that

would invite us to her parties.

has such swell friends"
Next time we invite Vivian I'll
have you and Walter again. Per-
haps if you get acquainted that
| way she'll include you at her next
party" l returned, grateful to
| Helen for her interest in me-.
An Embarrassing Situation.
When we arrived at the shop
the head saleswoman greeted
Helen cordially; then grew very
distant as she saw me. / felt my
checks flush as the thought came
that her reason for sighting me
was because the blue dress wasn't
yet paid for. What should / do?
Helen seemed to sense some
thing wrong, and left me for a
moment and went with the sales
woman into another, room. When
they returned the woman's man.

almost thought l had imagined
her cold. Certainly l now had
nothing of which to complain.
She brought out all the gowns she
had in my size in either old rose
which / said / would try on.
1t was a lovely thing of rose
tulle and chiffon; with a girdle
of a queer old blue and lavender.
A frenchy sort of a thing that
appealed because of it's oddly.
You certainly have good taste,
Sue" Helen remarked. ITS the
one | should have selected of all
we have seen. You'll be per-
feet dream in it, won't she ma
dame?"
Indeed she will" Madame en-
Unused just sufficiently to make
me forget my embarrassment, and
to decide that | must have that
particular dress.
TOO Great Temptation.
I put the dress on before I
asked the price. 1t was a perfect
fit, and so lovely that / fairly
gasped as | saw my reflection in
lllC Sld9n. Dull iltItH anu MD
dame We're so enthusiastic, that l
almost forgot to ask the price.
When l did | could feel myself
getting white; l certainly was
faint.
"One hundred dollars to you--
because you are Mrs. Thurston's
friend" Madame said.
tits the cheapest thing I ever
saw! Why it's perfectly stunning
on you, Sue! Tom will lose you
If you wear that dress"
Just for moment the thought
of Tom, and what he might say
came into my mind. But then /
caught a glimpse of the back of
the dress in a hand mirror Ma
dame held up for me, and Tom,
price, everything was forgotten
save only that 1 never had looked
so we'll before. I had pretty
dimpled shoulders; and as the
back it showed them to great ad-
vantage.
l knew I would buy the dress,
but tried to be careless and not
show Madame too plainly just how
infatuated / was with it.
Us that really the lowest
price," l asked, nonchalantly.
1.-THE very lowest" she return
ed. "The price is one hundred
and twenty-five, but as | told you
we make the reduction because
of Mrs. Thurston."
Every well, I'll take it," said,
and Tom, the fact that it would
take half his salary were forgot
ten in the delight of possession.
