EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE SPIRIT THAT WINS.

(From the Minneapolis Kwanan.>
The who lives hermit grows a hermit
He robs his fellow men of service and cheats
himself out of the joy of that service.
OF his foolish choice he is cut off from
that best earthly boon-worthy, helpful human
companionship.
His nature Is ingrowing his God-gven spirit
He does himself wrong in that he flouts the
good that man should be alone"
Cooperation is one Of the keynotes Of the serv-
ice of this day.
1t has laid its compelling charm upon the ma
tons in their relations to another and to the
world.
1t is infusing inself more and more into the warp
and wool of the industrial fabric.
1t has gone to the farm and found there a con-
genial place to thrive and play its helpful magic.
1t is an eloquent watchword for civic bodies and
for relief agencies whose objective is the human
upft.
Good is It to that Kiwanis is not Of the her.
NIT spirit; that it knows the sage may learn of the
dolt; that 1t has the outlook than the inlook
that 1t believes In teamplay in joining hands with
those outside its own ranks in doing good works.
II breaches cooperation and practices it. For the
Rotary club the Lions club and other organizations
of type kindred to itself it reaches out the hand
Of fellowship and extends from a sincere heart the
word of well-wishing.
Clubs like that are square with the spirit of the
age which, IL not new spirit is vitalized in new
strength. They will go far in the propagation of
true human service.

BE w is e.

The Journal has insisted that the declaration Of
the republican convention at Santa Fe. regarding
its state policy. is all that any progressive. repub.
lican democrat, can wish. Senator Jones, in his
speech here, confirmed statement The sena-
tor said:
$50, too, my friends, observe in your
morning publication boast to certain
things which had been put into the regular
republican platform, Certain declarations for
equality - for equal opportunity for equal
justice-for legislation in favor of the masses
of the people as against the few. That was
part Of the platform about which your Morning
journal boosted, and 1 say to you. my good
friends that there better democratic
doctrine anywhere than those few paragraphs
put into the republican platform"
This being true. according to Senator Jones' own
statement, whence comes all the democratic prop
uganda that this campaign is being conducted in a
reactionary basis by the republicans?
In view Of the fact that Senator Bursum stands
upon a platform which Senator Jones says he can
accept and in view of the further fact that Senator
Bursum can be more useful to New Mexico in the
senate than any democrat why should not all peo-
pie, republicans and democrats. lend Senator Bur-
sum their support?
The Journal goes step farther and insists that
1t is the duty of voters to put the stamp of their
approval upon this progressive step of the repub-
lican party by supporting Senator Bursum. Show
that party that it pays to take forward-looking
stand To repudiate the advanced position taken
would be to encourage the cynicism of the reaction
aries who seek to regain control.

AMERICA ON UPGRADE.

Government officials are confidently predicting
an early speeding up of industry A number OF ex-
perienced observers of finance and economics agree
with them. Even symptoms that are disturbing IN
themselves are pointed out as evidence of change
in the tide of affairs. rising wholesale COM
modify price level for Instance, is said by some 10
promise more employment because it reflects grow
ing demand for goods.
All this is gratifying indeed, and the average
American will grasp eagerly at every straw OF COM
fort No one wants to longer face than
occasion demands. And, the other hand, few
will care to go about smirking and smiling In the
presence OF situation Of seriousness and real
tragedy.
Whatever may be the turn OF the next few
weeks. the fundamental consideration should not
be forgotten. Be the flux of circumstances as 1t
may, for the long pull the wise man can be only
"bulr" on America. The United States Is on the
upgrade. We have not reached our zenith, nor
have we, indeed approached within view Of full
fillment of possibilities Sooner or later we are
certain again to reach the high road Of prosperity,
broader and more substantial than ever

But these are different" said
Sammie, trying to smile. "They
are good to eat!"
Whats that?" Flowers good
to eat! ! never heard of such a
thing!" cried the Bear. Let me
see!"
Sammie handed over his candy
bouquet and when the Bear chew
ed 1t and found it sweet (being
very fond of honey. molasses and
such) the Bear rolled up his eyes
and said: "Yum-yum"
Here, take my candy flowers
and let my ears alone" cried Su-
sic. She tossed over her sugary
eating them, and closing his eyes
because he loved sweet things so
much, Sammie, Susie and Uncle
Wigg.ly ran far, far away and
were safe,
Then Uncle Wiggily gave the
animal children two more pen
MES to buy more candy and make
other flowers, and they took them
to the lady mouse teacher just in
time, and she liked them very
much.
So this shows us that candy is
good for something else than just

AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

/ booming state fair. A whole week
Of real entertainment and / have
known people to come from far
eastern points to see 1t. Six months
before the opening of these fairs
we began to talk and plan for
them. Everybody, merchants and
citizens and all jumped in the
band wagon and we pulled togeth-
err for a big time and we had 1t.
This was the spirit of albuquerque
and the west.
Then after 1t was all over we
talked about 1t and enjoyed the
memory of it for another six
months, while the Indians returned
to their reservations, the cowboys
went back to work, and the Wis
itors returned east with stories of
the big events pulled off in Albu-
querque.
Now, the limit of our amuse-
ment or annual entertainment
seems to be the big ball game be-
tween the Kiwanis and Rotary
club at which time sedate business
and professional men and other
dignitaries dress or undress in kilt
skirts or come and see me alls"
for one big day of fun, and it is
fun.
There is strife among many of
our business men and unrest
among citizens. We have substi-
tuted that former lively action
with a mere slogan, "Step Lively"
which has been set to both poetry
and music. Now let step really in
fact.
Entirely apart from the fact that
this first rodeo Is for the benefit
Of disabled soldiers, If merchants
and citizens will get behind it with
half the pep and push we used to
show few years ago, the good re-
suits will be far-reaching.
I am writing this letter because
for long time and like many 9TH
er citizens, l have thought of the
pep and push that used TO abide
with us the sleep period and strife
among some of our citizens that
has taken its place and l think it
will do US all good to practice pep
tomi1m on this occasion.
Yours very truly,

the whipping post does act a deterrent Some
fifty years ago unusual outbreak of holdups in
the city of London impeled the authorities to re-
vive whipping punishment. Before that terms
of Imprisonment had been given without effect
Almost Immediately the holdups were reduced to

According to a Scotland Yard official the aver

thrashing. When it comes to physical pain he is
the greatest of towards. The London police were
we'll satisfied with their experiment, which it was
not necessary to continue for long. Nobody likes
the idea of whipping criminals, but nobody likes
their brutal methods either. Society has to defend
itself and there is no reason why it should be any
more particular than It's enemies in the matter of

THE WHIPPING POST.

For the first time in nine years the whipping
post has been used at the Baltimore jail. The
punishment was administered to a wife-beater in
accordance with legal sentence. Delaware also
has the whipping post for certain classes Of Of
tenders. Whenever the suggestion is made In other
states to go 'back to the old form Of punishment,
opposition is expressed by some persons on the
ground Of brutality" Criminals may employ all
the brutality they desire in attacking their victims.
but it is felt that the law should not fight them
with their own weapons because it might degrade
its dignity.

September IA, 1921.
Mr.. Carl G. Magee, Editor, Albu-
querque Morning Journal, Albu-
querque, N. NJ.
Dear Mr.. Magee:-I have been
reading the news items on the Tri-
State Rodeo which is to be staged
here September 90 for three days.
Very little reflection is necessary
in order to recall the big times we
used to have at Albuquerque dur
ing state fairs, round-ups and cat
tlemen's conventions, etc. When
the old Albuquerque spirit pre-
vailed to the extent that it bubbled
over with far-reaching effect.
1t seems to me, and / voice the
opinion of a great many citizens
when / say, that this three days
exhibition which is to be a future
annual event, is just what we need
and that all Albuquerque should
unite in an effort to develop an an
nual New Mexico rodeo equal to
the nationally advertised Cheyenne
affair.
We have the Indians, cowmen,
cowboys and cowgiris, The rope
drllStS, Dull uOSSerS anu SteeI Tlu-
ers The Spanish entertainers, wild
horses and steers and in short we
have everything needed to make
such an annual exhibition a factor
in the west.
Albuquerque is progressing COM
mercially She can't help it, But
are we not overlooking good bet.
Are we not missing something big.
Are we not slumbering.
Our climate is gift of God and
it is big gift, a glorious blessing.
To get up in the morning-every
morning-365 days in the year and
be able to step out of doors and
find q pure atmosphere and as n
rule, warm sunshine, is a health
treatment that doctors prescriptions
and drug store medicine can not
duplicate. 1t is free to all who
live here but let's have Albuquer-
que known and advertised as some
thing more than health resort.

They've settle down beside the

and here they'll dwell until they

New York. Sept. 15.-Profes-
sional interests dominated today's
less active and more restricted
stock market. Efforts of bull pools
in several prominent industrial and
special issues proved abortive,
leaders showing losses of one to
two and a half points at the heavy
close.
Baldwin Locomotive again fea-
tured the dealings at an extreme
rise of one and half points. but
closed at a loss of slightly more
than point. Among affiliated is
sues, also oils, steels, motors and
rails, heaviness prevailed. Sales,
600, 900 shares.
Apart from the operation of
pools, stocks were influenced large
ly by the money market. An OPEN
ing rate Of 5 per cent for call loans
gave way TO 4 u per cent at noon
but belated borrowers forced the
quotation pack to per cent in the
final hour.
There was no other explanation
for the unexpected stiffening of the
money market. Local banks evil
IDENTIFY having taken all necessary
measures yesterday to meet today's
very large income tax payments.
Dividend omissions by sugar
companies and one Of the minor
steel producers indicated further
readjustment of the industrial situ-
alton. This was balanced in part,
however, by the higher prices post
ed by Independent steel manufac-
turers.
International remittances again
took their cue from London. That
market sent over lower quotations
for all leading exchanges. including
marks, which duplicated the early
weeks low record. Later rates
were rirmer. sterling making full
recovery. Another decline in the
Argentine rate was attributed to
reports of a suspension of negotia-
lions for loan to that government.

S1bs, was the feature of the bond
