A STATE official of mature years and
"A large experience was recalling incidents
Of hi. interesting life when the mention of
the name Of Bob lngerso. famous ng-
no,tic and champion OF liberalism, recalled
the folowing:

1t is significant that no public man, no
organization. no newspaper has had a word
of defense for the kluX. The crazy and
malignant business has been denounced by
the Masonic order, by the Patriotic Order
Sons of America by the American Legion,
by ministers of almost all the Protestant
denominations. Only newspapers that seem
to have been born frightened have failed to
turn their guns upon Simmons and his
crowd.
The klcngle and the klcaglcttes in the
Bellevue Court Building rattle their type
writer's to keep their spirits up. But the
Klux is dead. and It's remains shouldn't be
left lying loosely around. For the sake Of
our national self respect the thing ought to
be buried. 1t ought to he buried by Con-
gress with such aid as the executive de-
partments Of the Government can give. The
work ought to be done quickly
1t isn't pleasant TO be reminded that thou

THE SEARCH FOR OIL

1T Is TOO early 10 say what IL anything. may result from die gas
flow encountered Saturday in a test well heing sunk near Aztec
: San Juan county, Prospecting for oil has been going on in that
district, at intervals, for the past five years. Several gas pockets and
some showinTs Of oil have been discovered. Nothing in the way Of
production has been fond. Tho gas well, reported in Sundays Her.
aid. is the most encouraging sign the district has produced.
The somewhat feverish boom Of oil prospecting which struck New
without having shown anything IN the way Of oil. 1t is worth recall
ing. however. that only eleven deep wells were actually sunk during
that period, IN an area Of 1872 600 square miles. The San Juan county
report Directs attention 70 the fret that although the tumhlt and
shouting and stock selling has ceased, a number Of standard drilling
rigs IN si pounding away in no less than seven Of the counties,
backed not BY spectators Of the hurry-up class, but by those whose
business in life is the search for new oil pools
Too many biologists of established ability have found structures
and recommended drilling Investments in this state to permit the
effort now going forward 70 be cIassed as rainbow chasing. Punch
ing q few dry holes here and there in 100000 acres of land does
not prove or dispfose such an area. The oil verdict on New Mexico
is still TO be returned.
II the jury Of drile4s would bring in a gusher somewhere just
now 1t would be generally appreciated and approved.

BIG FIGURES

~ UGH attention is being given TO the nations manufacturing statis-
W ties for the year 1913, recently made public by the census bu-
. resu. In that year 2S9,76 manufacturing establishments in the
United States employed 9l03200 wage earners These wage-earners,
the figures show, took $37, S72 $4,000 worth of materials; and in the
words Of one commentator, 'by human labor, converted them into
finished products that sold for s62 9l0, 202, 900"
Thus it would appear that in the year 1919, the great "boom
year, . the manufacturing establishment of this nation created some
thing more than twenty-five billions of dollars worth Of wealth.
This same commentator concludes:
"when the Great American Novel is written, its background will
be the romance and adventure involved in these statistics. They ex-
press the soul of Anerfca.
We love big dgures. Recently we have become accustomed TO
speak Of billions gibly and TO draw strange conclusions from figures
which few Of us even family understand The comment quoted above,
on the apparent industrial production result in 1919 is typical of the
kind Of careless thinking that helps to make it more difficult to pro-
coed onward TO ''normaicy."
There was romance and adventure in the industrial history of
1919. particularly adventure. AS we look back on il, however, one
is more and more inclined 10 the view that there was more of tragedy.
The great national production machinery may express that soul Of
America, but God forbid that the soul of America should be found
in what was expressed in the year 1913. Into that feverish years man
pfaetured products was erammed more production cost and less work
per unit than in any year in our history. Onto the selling price of most
OF the products massed In that sfxtytwo billion dollars, was loaded a
new burden known as excess profits tax" II was not without other
burdens
We thought we were getting rich in that marvellous year. We
reveled In feyered dreams Of easy money. Romance and adventure,
10 be.surci Most Of us had a touch Of il.
In the cold, gray dawn OF the morning after successive and in
cfeasngly serious pnchings still do not suffice to awaken some Of us
10 the fact that those miraculously created billions were in large pr-
hnn no more than romantic excursions into fields Of financial adven-
fure.

ttlegraphed TO The Sunday Herald shows that the Lobos played O

Football at the University of New Mexico has not attracted much
local interest in past seasons. The game, like the institution, has
been entitled TO much more cordial support and much more enthuS

Now we have a team at the University with genuine possibilities
