The platform of Rotary offered, he
stated, the very chance the business
man needed for that very thing. The
materialistic and the idealistic might
be combined through the membership
of the Rotary Club.
In the olden days, stated Prof. At
kinson, the men of those days used to
segregate themselves according to
their occupation or profession. He
pointed to the method adopted by the
men of religious sects who used to
dress differently than other men,
woul eliminate themselves from the
society of those who were in trades
and exclude themselves almost entire
ly from the public.
The materialistic can be idealistic
more easily when the world is pros
porous, stated Prof. Atkinson, be-
cause then there is no worry over
the economical affairs, and the man
who through business acquires the
means can indulge his idealistic de-
sires. No one can devote a life to
materialistic things, thinking later,
| when wealth has been accumulated, tc
enjoy the idealistic.

Now Wcstcrn Fiction.


After the din and Clatter that
have ragged in your columns for
some weeks | dare hope that q
voice may be heard in protest, q
voice loud and clear raised in de-
tense of Harvey Ferguson and
THE Blood of the Conquerors."
1t is indeed encouraging to find
one writer honestly and fearlessly
trying to put in fiction a bit of the
other side of life in the southwest
For years we have been fed up on
the thriller written by fourth-rate
authors who knew nothing of the
west at first hand. Best sellers
they have produced. but of the real
people of New Mexico they have
told US nothing To have told of
existing conditions might have
shocked some weaklings who are
morally too unstable to trust them
selves beyond the shadow of
church steeple.
THE Blood of the Conquerors" is
an earnest attempt at realism. Why
should we wink at the triCkery Of
the cunning Anglo-American who
is trying to rob the Spanish Amer
lean of his holdings and to supplant
his language and ideals? We know
about this, and the author no doubt
could have used different names,
names that are well but unfavor-
ably known in Albuquerque and
vicinity. Why shut our eyes to the
abuses of the church, and to the
awful practices of a secret order
that is a survival of the Dark Ages?
If we wish to remedy such things

a glance-withou being burdened
with the usual sickening slang Of

the native and the newcomer In

recommended to the serious mind
ed person who wishes to gain some
knowledge of the southwest as it is.
