WRECKING CHINO COPPER.

Some little time ago, an afternoon paper wrote
humorotisly upon the Route of the Wrecker." 1t
pointed out that the editor OF the Morning Journal
had written editorials of such potentcy that the
Chino properties had been forced to close.
The Journals rejoiner that we appreciated
the compliment, but declined the honor We in
sisted that the condition of the copper market had
occasoned the closing.

paper published in Cleveland, contains the follow

is it not?
Cost after credit of only 81 cents pound
of copper for precious metals and miscellaneous
income, was 14.4O cents a pound of copper, COM
pared with 1881 cents the year before"
Very interesting in view of talk about rising
costs in the production of copper
The trade papers statement also points out that
the selling price of copper is unchanged "most
large agencies quoting 10 cents delivered" If
production costs are 14.40 cents pound and the
selling prize is 10 rents delivered it would seem
that the Morning Journal was not wholly without
facts when it insisted that the close-down of the
Chino properties was due to market conditions.
Now if the vitrioic writer whose chief aim in
life is to attack the reputation and dstort the
motives of the Journals editor will publish some
new propaganda on the Chino situation, we will

Factors which contributed to the

In paper published under shell-fire at Arras

IMPROVEMENTS

THE COMMISSION MUST BE SUSTAINED.
In the past the journal has had some things to
say about Invisible Governments and Super-GoV-
ernments We have stngingy rebuked few big
politicians and few special-ihterest men for
gathering in back rooms to nominate candidates or
decide upon governmental policies.
We have pictured as best could the bad
effects which have resulted in New Mexico by
reason of this invisible super-government Favors
TO the few added burdens for the many; a back
ward and stagnant state; these some of the
evils which have resulted to the harm of the
people.
We have demanded the release of the throttle
hold of these few. We have demanded that New
Mexico be ruled by the people at the polls ana
not by the bunch from back room. Thereby,
we have earned the hostility of these enemies OF
the people. They are in sympathy with
the present management of the Journal than they
with the man who works with his hands.
All right Now, let us
Is it any more desirable to set up a super
government presided over by few labor leaders?
We ask this question without reference to the per-
sonality of those leaders,
If we allow the organization and affilation OF
our city employees, a Central Labor council, or
similar body, made up of so-called leaders,
will sit down in a Darkroom and send out in
structions and advice to those unions exactly as
the big interests have been doing with their
henchmen. There will be change in the system
used in carrying on an invisible government The
change will be in personnel only. 1t is as repre-
hensible in in the other.
Sworn officers of government owe their I'M
divided allegiance to that government, whether il
be municipal state national Advice as to of
ficial conduct and Instructions as to their duty
must from their superiors in the govern
ment which the people have set up and not from
superiors In labor organization.
At first blush it may seem that there is an
advantage to labor in such system of super
government This is untrue Beaine and Trotsky
, have shown how skful labor leaders, when in
charge of the government, can outczar the car in
arrogance and defiance Of the peoples well-being.
The rule of the soviet is failure and the people
its victims.
This whole question goes to the fundamentals
of government. When such system be estah-
shed in America, the rocks. We must
insist upon the good old American system of ma
jority rule at the ballot box If would survive
We must compel it to apply to both rich and
poor.
Laborng men-unon men-should swat this
recall matter hard. They are Americans first and
union afterward. There is principal in
volved in this question which affects labor in
private employments

A MEMORABLE DATE.

For humanity in general and for students of
literature in particular this date-April 23-is a
memorable one.
1t is the death-day of Miguel de Cervantes
Ssavedra, and the traditional birthday and death

Both these men died in 1916. Although the
difference in calendars actually places the date
of Shakespeare's death May (Aprl %, old
syle) while the death of Cervantes occurred April
20. new style, for sentimental reasons scholars
have been accustomed to ignore this difference of
ten days between the old and the new style, and
have fixed April 20 as the day on which to observe
the death-days Of both writers. In many in
stances, this observance has taken the form OF
elaborate memorial exercises by literary assoca-
lions.
What new thing can be said of William
Shakespeare in 1921 A. D.? After commentators
like DR.. Johnson, Theobald Coleridge, Pope
Warburton, Hammer and OF others have
scrutinized the masters texts with a microscope;

time with mother, helping her
take care of Tom, .Ir. Father was

felt anxious about him. Mother

that he was getting better very
