DIR KINGS PILLS
AS THE Editor SEES /

We admire : man who is strong on
civic pride. Such man, or woman,
is a distinct asset to any community.
Too often a town suffers because
its citizens immense themselves in the
business of making money, TO the ut
ter exclusion of all other considera-
tions.
Always there are few who believe
in improving local conditions. Thru
their efforts a certain amount is ac-
complished, but uniform Improvement
is only brought about when the peo-
pie as body are willing to cooperate
to that end.
Conditions in our own community
would be better, and life would be
brighter, if all of our people had the
spirit of local improvement and the
will to put it into practice.
Again we suggest that it is time to
look over the field and see if there is
any ont in our midst who is likely not
to be remembered on Christmas day.
If there are any such persons the
spirit of humility and brotherly love
which Christ taught should phompt
us to put joy into their hearts on the
great day of days.
To him that hath not should be Civ
en-.
How many of the children who re-
ceive their toys on Christmas day will
understand why those toys are given
them at that particular time?
How many of them understand that
had it not been for the birth of Christ
there would be no Christmas, and per-
haps no occasion for toys.
1t might be profitable to tell them
the story of the child who came into
the world in manger and went out of
it upon cross, that their thoughts
on Christmas morn may instinctively
turn back to the day when the virgin
became mother.
You will be spending some money
this neutrality-suspicious. a consider
able amount. We all do.
If you spend it with our home mer-
chants at least a portion of it may
find its way back into your own pock-
cts. 1t often does.
Ii it is spent outside of our COM
munity you will never see it again.
They never do.
Since you are possesd of at least
an ordinary amount of brains, which
appeals to you?
The average minister breaches about
100 sermons a year.
This requires intelligence, education,
research, and concentrated thought.
In addition, he must keep a watch
full eye on the work of the Sunday
school, conduct mid week prayer meet
ings, foster and encourage all sorts
of church societies and activities, Wis
it the sick and oppressed, smile sweet
ly over the indifference of many of
the brethren, and blaze the path to
heaven for people who are too en-
crossed in worldly affairs to perform
this important duty for themselves.
We dole him on Ia sum that, with
rigid economy, will cover his naked
ness and keep soul and body together
and feel that we have done wonder
fully well.
The devil smiles at our parsimony,
the preacher doesn't complain of It,
and we, apparently, prefer to remain
ignorant of it.
It's a gay wolrd-for everyone but
the preacher.
And now, if you have borrowed
this paper in order to read this col
umn, return it with thanks and send
in subscription Of you own. 1t will
add to the enjoyment of your Christ
man dinner.

TAXATION


with apologies to Denver Post)
Tax the people, tax with care,
To help the multi-millionaire.
Tax the farmer, tax his fowl,
Tax the dog and tax his howl.
Tax his hen and tax her egg,
And let the bloomin' mudsill beg.
Tax his pig, and tax his squeal,
Tax his boots, run down at heel;
Tax his horses, tax his lands,
Tax the blisters on his hands.
Tax his pillow and tax his clothes,
Tax the rag that wipes his nose;
Tax the house, and tax his bed,
Tax the bald spot on his head.
Tax the OK, and tax the ass,
Tax his Henry, tax the gas;
Tax the road that he must pass,
And make him travel Ger the grass.
Tax his COW, and tax the calf.
Tax him if he dares to laugh,
He is but common man, so
Tax the cuss, just all you can.
Tax the lab'er, but be discreet,
Tax him for walking on the street.
Tax his bread, and tax his meat,
Tax the shoes clear off his feet.
Tax the payroll, tax the sale,
Tax all his hard-earned paper kale;
Tax his pipe and tax his smoke.
Teach him gov'ment is no joke.
Tax their collins, tax their shrouds,
Tax their souls beyond the clouds.
Tax all business, tax the shop;
Tax their incomes, tax their stocks;
Tax the living, tax the dead,
Tax the unborn, before they're fed.
Tax the water, tax the air,
Tax the sunlight, if you dare.
Tax them all, and tax them well,
Tax them to the gates of hell.
But close your eyes, so you can't see,
The couplin clipper go tax free.

Conference TO
SETTLE B. & O.
WALK0UT FAILS
Men Unwilling to Proceed
With Negotiations While
Possibility Exists for Ma
tional Settlement.
(Ry The Associated psess.l

Baltimore, Md, July 2S.-Negoti-
ations for a separate settlement of
the shopmens strike on the B. & O.
railroad ended abruptly late this
when Chairman w. j.
MCGEE, OF the system shop fedora
ton, conference, notified Vice
President Charles w. Galloway that
he and his associates were' unwilling
to proceed while the possibility eX-
listed for a national settlement. Mr..
Galloway thereupon withdrew the
proposals which he had laid before
the shopmen earlier in the week
and announced that the Baltimore
and Ohio will go ahead with it's et-
forts to build up its shop forces TO
normal.
The chief reason for ending the
negotiations, as set forth in a let
ter to c. w. Galloway vice presl-
dent of the b. & o. shop crafts
federation, was the unwillingness
of the delegates to enter into any
agreement other than on ma
tioHal basis. Mr.. McGee also said
that the proposal made by the rail-
road was too indefinite in places
TO afford the basis of discussion.
While the labor delegates re-
turned tonight to points on the
3. & o. system from which they
had assembled, officials of the
road prepared to continue vlgor-
Gus effort to rebuild their forces
Their proposition to the men was
withdrawn.

nit a sufficient number of miners
to return to work in order to pro-
vide necessary coal The message
was sent to Mr.. Hessler at Phila-
delphia, where he has been meet

East Las Vegas, July 2S.--Dr.
Hartley B. Alexander's address to
the graduating class at the Normal
here was not on the subject an
nounced, but on 1.-THE Place of the
West in American Civilization"
The speaker prophesied a decline
of civilization until sort of Re-
Nuisance should come to revive it.
The part of America, he pointed
out, Is to keep civilization alive by
keeping largely to the cultivation
of its own garden" and in the west
he sees the cradle of a new culture
and new civilization.
Nowhere" said DR.. Alexander,
have l seen more signs of a civ
ilized renaissance than in New
Mexico. 1t is the most wond-
derful land know for the
inspiration of human ideas and
ideals, and that is of vastly greater
than mere economic greatness"
DR.. Alexander has been greatly
impressed by the Pueblo and adobe
architecture, especially as eXempli-
fled in many buildings In Santa Fe,
and he believes that in that archi-
lecture, in the old Spanish colonial
interiors, in the pottery. weaving
and all art crafts of our Indians.
we have the nucleus Of a new and
distinctive culture.
DR.. Alexander several times re-
| ferred to the Dawn of a New
Day" here in the southwest. His
address presented a new point of
view in many ways, and was well
received.
