LARRY SMILES HIS LAST.

Larry is dead. The lips that smiled in the face
Of bitter odds chilled A prophet Of resolute,
unwavering cheerfulness is dumb.
Few men in Albuquerque had such great
health handicaps to battle against and few fought
their losing fight gamey did Larry Glase-
brook. His backbone was stiff in proportion his
lungs weak The disease had never attacked
his nerve
First associate editor of 1.-THE Kill Gloom
Gazette" then managing editor of 1.-THE Herald
of the Well Country and finally founder and
ruling spirit of the Well Country camp near the
town Of Tijeras, in the Sandals Larry sought to
ease the lot of his fellow-sufferers He asked
nothing for himself, but he gave his own dwin-
ding energy for his brethren.
For long time Glasebrook had cherished the
idea of a summer camp for convalescent health
seekers He homesteaded the land which it is
located, raised most of the necessary money him
self, and up to the time of his death took active
part in the management of its affairs
Today it is his monument-a monument more
enduring than marble or granite, for it represents
ideal And ideals indestructible.
We mourn his passing. But his friends know
that Larry faced the crossing he had faced
every other crisis-with smile.

human Self-preservation is the first law Of ma

Therefore agree with Colonel Harvey
that the Prussan menace to the United States

Hohenzollernism; but cannot agree with him
when he goes further and maintains that it was
our only motive. Nor can we agree with him when
he says that the United States reluctant" or
laggard" in her entry into the war.
She was, indeed, slow to wrath; but once she
plunged into the conflict she followed Polonius's
advice and so conducted herself as to make her
opponent beware her.
In short, we believe that Colonel Harvey's
apology with which he closed his speech, was
certainly necessary:
But enough of public affairs Perhaps 1
have gone too far along that line already but,
if so, 1 must ask you to attribute the over
stepping to the self-bestowed prerogatives of a

One cannot help wondering whether the presi
dent did not in sending a novice to such an
important post the court of st. James
No doubt his British hearers willingly accepted
his apology, since he had erred distinctly on their
side; but doubt whether similar willingness will
be exhibited by other European nations with which
we had hoped to establish or maintain cordial
relations.

commanding position among the nations she cam

bunny, and after him chased the

"Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" sighed
the wild, sporty rabbit, as the

If l hadn't l would not have been

And Uncle Wiggily hidden UNI

couldn't see him, laughed a little.
But he also felt sorry for the
wild rabbit.
Then, after nibbling the sporty
hare's ears as much as he liked,
the gator went away and Uncle
Wiggily could get out of the bas-
ket and bring in the rest of the
clothes.

HEADLINE HARVEY HARANGUES.

One rather suspects that George Harvey, Amer
ica's new ambassador and envoy penipotentiary
to Great Britain, anxious to get into page one
when he made his sensational speech before the
Pilgrims society in London the other day.
If that was his object, Harvey certainly sue
ceeded. So would a bull in china shop, or a
grenade at pink tea
Like Roosevelt, the new ambassador believes
in shirt-sleeve diplomacy. But unlike Roosevelt,
he does not to subscribe to the first half
of the Theodorean formula-"Speak softly and
the big stick"
For Harvey spoke so vociferously that both
sides of the Atlantic still reverberating with
his stentorian tones.
In the first place, he undoubtedly is an en-
thusiastic Anglophile. Witness for instance, his
statement intended to convey the impression that
President Harding would allow his British extrac-
ton to incline toward English viewpoint:
1.-THE outstanding attribute of President
Harding, Mr.. Harvey said breadth of
vision, greatness of heart, fidelity to his race
no less than to his clan, and to his
family than to his ancestry, drawn from all
parts of the United Kingdom" o..
Mr. Harvey added that these were sufficient
reasons why Mr.. Harding felt that friendliness
and good will should exist between the great Eng
disappearing nations, and why he pledges
unfaltering cooperation in achieving that aspir-
alton. I..
Again:
Il shall fail miseraby to the grievous
disappointment of my chief, if I do not so
greatly strengthen those bonds of friendship
and mutual hepfulness that hereafter our gov
ernments will not only prefer durable en-
gagements to tentative compromises as between
ourselves, but will instnctively approach all
world problems from the same angle" ... 4
Although many of in the past sometimes
have found it difficult to agree with that ever
ready democratic apologst, Senator Hitchcock, we
believe that there is Justice in his criticism that
neither the ambassador to Great Britain nor the
ambassador to any other country is the one to am
nounce the foreign policy of the United States"
We likewise must partly agree with Senator
Hitchcock when he says that Colonel Haryeys
to the war is discredtable performance -
Partly repeat; for in this, in many
similar cases, there is modicum Of truth mixed
with considerable error. o.. .t .....
OF our motives for entering the war Colonel
Harvey declared: o..
mot few remain convinced that sent
our soldiers across to save this kingdom,
France and Italy That is not a fact. We sent
them solely to save the United States and most
reluctantly and laggardly at that"
If the colonel had said that self-preservation
was Americas CHIEF motive for entering the
war. rather than the SOLE motive; and if he had
omitted those gratutous adverbs, reluctantly
and "laggardly" would not take issue with
him.
1t can hardly be denied that when Germany
continued sinking American ships and floutng

May state fact and then
ask a question of reader?
America contains a citizenry of widely varying
vocations and conditions. We have business men,
professional men and laboring men. In New
Mexico our business men divide themselves roughly
into wholesalers. retailers, manufacturers, mine
operators railroad operators farmers and live
stock These in turn, sub-divide themselves
into many classes, Laboring men fall into equally
varied elasificatons.
Our governmental system is founded upon the
theory of individual rights and individual liberty
Every in every legitimate walk of life is
entitled to equal treatment with every one else.
None is entitled to a law which will favor his
business above others and none should be penal
lied with undue burdens restrictions.
Now the question: Do you look at public
problem from the standpoint of your special
advantage or are you broad-spirited enough to see
the question a whole? In other words are you,
a citizen, thinking in terms of your business
alone or can you think in terms of a fair deal
for all?
If you think in terms of your business you
may be leader in your line, but you can never
be a leader of the whole people, Instead of re-
straining others from unfairness you must be
restrained by others who can think in broader
terms. Breadth of vision is essential to real lead

which you are justly entitled You must accord to
others their just due

my fault that he had made love
to me? Was l entirely to blame?
If so what excuse could offer

that Tom might look Int it from

efforts to ape others, lost his love.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

Once upon a time Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy said to Uncle Wig
gily Longears, the bunny rabbit
gentleman:
"Wiggy, my dear, would you
mind taking the basket and bring
ing in the clean clothes. My whis-
kers ache so from having done
the washing, that l hardly be-
lieve / can take the clothes off
the line"
"Of course I'll do it," said I'M
Gle Wiggily most kindly. So he
took the clothes basket and went
out in the yard back Of the hol-
low stump bungalow.
Uncle Wiggily was just lifting
down the clean. dry sheets and
pillow cases, and putting them in
the big basket when, all of a
sudden, the bunny gentleman
heard a laugh,
"Goodness! I hope that isn't
the Woozie Wolf or the Fuzzy
Fox" thought the bunny gentle
man. He turned with a clothes
pin in his, mouth, ready to stick

come for him, but Uncle Wiggily

SOLUTION OF INTER-
RACIAL PROBLEM LIES
IN BOY, GIRL SCOUTS

Honolulu, y. H., May S.-That
the solution of the inter-racial
problem of Hawaii lies in the Boy
and Girl Scouts, was the declara-
ton of w. w. Thayer, Boy Scout
troop leader, at the recent terrific
-ial social service convention held
in Honolulu.
Thayer cited his experiences
with hio~own Boy Scout troop in
support of his contention. He said
that in his troop of forty-eight
boys every racial and cross-racial
group in the islands was repre-
scented and, he added, he never
found a vestige of race prejudice
in the troop.
The boys regard one another as
fellow scouts and not as members
of different racial groups" Thayer
said, and, he argued, 1T is logical
to suppose that when these young
sters reach maturity they will car
.ry this regard and liberation for
members of races other than their
own into their business and social
activities"
