THE WORST NEVER HAPPENS.

Mt is estimated BY the department Of agriculture
at Washington" says the Albany Journal, that an
army of 100000 men is going back to the farms
from the cities, eager to aid in harvesting the ma.
TONS crops. At present, the supply of farm labor is
rated at 95.5 per cent of normal. It is expected that
in the wheat belt of the middle west n mobile force OF
10000 will follow the harvest from Oklahoma north
to the Dakotas and Montana.
zone result of this improved labor situation is the
encouragement it gives to farmers to plant bumper
crops. All reports indicate that the farmers are put
ting in larger acreages than were expected.
$50 it is demonstrated again that the worst rarely
happens. Not long ago there were loud lamentations
over the scarcity of farm labor, and a gloomy pros.
pect of inability to produce full crops was presented.
Unemployment in the cities, due to a considerable
extent to oversupply of labor, is having the effect that

BALLOT BOX RESISTANCE

A Democratic editor remarks that
we should everyone be as ready to
oppose illegal aggression upon our per-
sonal rights and liberties under the
law when Offered by public officers
or any other public servants as when
Offered by men not in uniform or in
office But there are a lot OF peo-
pie who find discretion the better part
of valor. To oppose illegal oppression
when committed by a private individu-
al is one thing-to oppose illegal OPP
preston when committed by an Of
ficer OF the government, with a public
prosecutor and an expense
from the public treasury at his COM
mand. is entirely another. Fighting
an ordinary oppressor and fighting
Burlesonism in office are two differ
ent things. There are a lot OF peo-
pie who stood the oppression of bure-
aucracy during the Wilson regime,
without manifesting resentment until
they got to the ballot boxes in Nov
ember, 1920. The secrecy of the vot-
ing booth is the only place where the
individual can resist official oppres-
sion without endangering his safety of
person and property.

IN ACTION

The Missouri and North Arkansas
railroad has been abandoned and sur
rendered to the "sab-cats." Last Feb
ruary the receiver of the road an
nounced a 20 per cent reduction as
necessary if the road was t. continue
to operate. The road, it appears, was
manned by radical unionists, who not
only refused to accept the cut, but
proceeded to prevent others who were
willing to accept it from doing so, and
then began an organized system of
sabotage on the road. According to
the reports, bridges were burned,
bombs placed in locomotives, obstruc-
tions were laid on the tracks, air hose
connections were cut, water tanks
drained, destructive chemicals were
placed in boilers. emery dust was
sprikled in machinery bearings. and
many other devices were resorted to
exhibiting a devilishness beyond des-
cription, So the road ceased to oper-
ate and the people on a strip of 800
miles between Joplin, Mo. and Hele-
ma, Arkansas. are marooned on dry
land. while the two States have con-
fessed the impotency of their laws,
and their inability to protect an Am
erican citizen in his right to work
for a living. Suppose this example Of
the Missouri and North Arkansas rail-
road were extended to the entire svs-
tenn OF the United States. Could the
"sab-cats" get away wifi i? Not

THE PROPER SPIRIT

The FL Paso and Southwestern Rail
road, at the request OF Educational
Auditor John Joerns, has agreed to
pay to the treasurer of Dona Ana
county an advance of ten thousand
dollars, to be credited to their school
taxes in that county for the present
year.
This is a real public service in view
OF the depleted condition of Dona Ana
county school funds. The taxes for
this year have not yet been levied,
much less determined, or extended on
the rolls, and are not payable until
December !, 1921 and June /, 1922, one
half or each date.
For a large corporation to come
forward and make a blind advance
for the benefit of the public in a GER
tain community is so exceptional as
to be worthy OF special commenda-
tion and much credit.

DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE

Have you ever done a thing which
other people declared could not be
done? If not, you have never known
the greatest JOY OF life. You have
missed the finest thrill that human be-
ings are permitted to experience.
No matter what it i~s-climbing a
tree. or mending a broken toy, or re-
yiving a dying business, or leading
any sort OF forlorn hope to victory
if you have done something which
other people have said could not be
done, you have placed yourself above
your fellows. You have made them
honor you, You have done a splendid
thing, and your blood will tingle while
you receive the praises that will be
freely given.
Try il some time-try doing the i'm
possible thing. 1t will be great fun
just TO try, and if you succeed it will
give you a sense of citation and mas
terry that will make all your ordinary
everyday tasks seem mere %trifles.

EFFICIENCY IN DETECTION

The reorganization of the detective
bureau of the Department Of Justice,
instituted by Attorney General Daugh-
erty by the appointment of William
J. Burns as chief, is already bear
ing fruit. The International associa-
ton for Identification, heretofore
maintained by subscriptions from vari-
ous local police departments, is to be
taken over by the Government and
developed to the highest standard of
efficiency. Details of Identification,
collected by police officials from all
parts of the country are to be col
lected at Washington and arranged
for immediate reference. Requests
for aid from local officials in any
part Of the country will be complied
with by telegraph. The new arrange
ments are part of a nationwide cam
paign against criminals that Mr..
Daugherty has ~inaugurated.

THE FORD PROPOSAL

Henry Ford is calling for a % per
cent reduction in freight rates, and in
asmuch as he is the owner Of a road
that would be affected by the cut he
is hailed as a s~elf-denying benefactor
OF the public. But the freight earn
ings Of the Ford railroad are 100000
a year, and a cut of 20 per cent would
mean a reduction of 100000 On the
other hand the Ford automobile fac
tory has an annual freight bill of be-
tween Sl5.O00,0O and s20.0O0,OO, and
a 20 per cent cut would bring a saw
ing to Mr.. Ford OF between 100000
and 100000 II is not difficult to
see from these figures that the Ford
suggestion for a freight cut is not
wholly dictated by altruism. Lower
freight rates are desirable but they
-anrot be changed to suit the IDEAS
Of any one mar nor regardless of costs
Of operation.

SOME WAR

David F. Houston, former secretary
OF the treasury, is authority for the
statement that since the foundation OF
our government we have spent in
round numbers sixty-seven billion dol
lars, and OF this fifty-eight billions
went for wars-that is, for the army
and navy and their auxiliaries and for
pensions and on the public debt.
And yet we claim 10 be an enlight-
ened, a civilized, a peaceful and a
Christian nation.
The figures indicate that we have
been a nation Of hypocrites. We have
not been living up TO our profession.
Maybe, though If we of this genera
ton give the figures the thought that
we ought to give them, we will begin
10 do better. II has not been neces-
sary in the past TO spend SO much
money on war purposes, ard il will
not be necessary in the future.

HOW GOOD ROADS MAKE FOR
GOOD SCHOOLS
By Francis E. Lester

No two public interests are more
closely interviewer than those Of good
schools and good highways. Both of
them affect the material, moral and
social welfare of every community in
our state.
For hundreds OF years we of New
Mexico have been developing along
material and social lines our various
communities, large and small. In the
past few years, with a suddenness al
most starting, we have realized the
necessity for bringing these commune
ties closer together by improved means
OF communication. Only by modifying
the material and moral assets OF all
its highest destiny, and the best means
to this end is better highways.
Examples can be cited all over New
NJ exico showing that as highways are
opened up new school facilities are
made possible. In many a remote
precinct children have been liable to
go to school because they mus wade
through mud, climb fences or other
distractions, or if they get to school,
it is in no fit condition to get the best
results, Consolidated school houses
and civic centers are impossible with
out good roads. Hence it is that lit
eracy bears a direct ratio to highway
improvement. 1t is estimated that in
bona Ana county, the home of good
roads illiteracy has been reduced
from 29f6 to 4%o since its new sys-
tenn of highways was built in the past
four years.
(Ihe above article was contributed
by Mr.. Lester, then president of the
New Mexico Good Roads Association,
to the Education Bulletin of March,
1917, and express the relationship
which the State Record maintained
existed between the Roads and Schools
during the recent campaign, and which
position was amply sustained by the
vote OF the people who cast a vote
OF three to one against the school
amendment and gave a majority of
about eight thousand for good roads.
Mr.. Testers position Of 1917 has been
fully vindicated.)

BOOSTING OF STATES
is BRINGING RESULTS
PRIDE IN Achievement

Washington, Oct. 5.-The National
Capital is in receipt OF multiplying
eveidence of the pride which the in
dividual states OF the union have in
their achievements. advantages, and
opportunities, according Il commerce
al and other organizations of Wash
ington, which are glad to have sent
them printed, matter, booklets. PAM
phletS, etc, in which are set forth
the claims Of the states as to pref
erence. A healthy state pride, say
the officers of civic bodies. goes far
toward making a better and a more
typical America.
That the advent OF the motor ma
chine has done much TO arouse the
people OF the states TO the op%portuni-
ties afforded for putting their ad-
vantages before the country as a
whole is conceded. and a good-na-
tured rivalry as between the states
in this particular is bound to rebound
to the good OF the whole.
That America is well worth know
ing. and that better knowledge Of il
viii make the average American more
than ever proud of his country and
more than ever willing to stand up for
il, has been proved on many occa-
sions. The northern and eastern
states are busy advertising their at
fractions during the winter season.
Those states which have a happy CON-
bination OF weather and which are in
a position TO invite visitors any sea-
son OF the year, confident they will
be entertained in comfort, are natur-
ally making this fact known.
The increasing travel, brought about
not by the building OF more highways
and motor cars alone, but by the ar
oused spirit OF state pride, resulting
from the increased travel, is, accord
ing TO those whose business il is to
study these things. promoting a more
friendly feeling as between Ameri-
ans. and making il plain that no one
section or state has all the advant-
ages, either in scenery. weather, peo-
pie, industry. agriculture or energy.

THE FALL

Hon. A. B. Fall. secretary OF the
interior, is spending a short time al
his home at Three Rivers before re-
turning TO Washington from a trip
through the West inspecting nation
al parks, irrigation works and study
ing the problems connected with the
administrator OF the public lands.
Some Of the newspapers OF the state
are critioising Secretary Fall severe
ly on account OF some comments he
is reported TO have made in an in
terview with a reporter OF the Albu-
querque Evening Herald about the
republican campaign in New Mexico.
If the secretary was correctly re.
ported il is evident that he has been
very much ~misinformed about the re-
cent campaign, the result OF which is
so satisfactory TO the people Of the
state and the country.
When New Mexico was honored by
President Harding by his selection OF
Senator Fall as a member OF his cab
met for the Department OF the In
terror we had every confidence that
the interests OF the state and IFS peo-
pie, and OF the Great West. would
receive proper consideration. We be-
lieve this feeling is general through
out the West-thst at last there is a
man at the head of the Department
Of the Interior with broad vision and
a knowledge of the conditions. and
possessing the courage to deal with
the problems affecting the public land
states, and notwithstanding the eff
forts of the enemy TO stir up trouble
between the secretary and the repub-
lican senator and congressman from
New Mexico. we still have confidence
that they will be found working to-
gether in hearty cooperation in every
thing that affects the welfare of New
Mexico
