DIsCOURAGING.

One very discouraging thing in New Mexico is
the seriousness with which many men take their
politics. We do not refer to the hold which a con-
test takes the conscences of these men. Our
reference is to the grip 1t gets on their temper.
The man who opposes them Is fool and a
knave. He is anathema. He should be annihilated.
There is no good in him.
Yet many Of these men are rght-minded men
and desire a cleanup of the state. Are they will
ing to place themselves in a position where there
can be no cooperation with them for the general
we-being merely because of previous minor dis
agreements?
There is a great need OF broadened spirit
among US. The Journal has enemies to punish.
We know of no one with whom we cannot and will
not cooperate in the public interest.
The need among sincere people is that all faces
be turned to the future. Never mind the past

Fox, the Woozie Wolf, the Bob Cat
and the Skillery Scalery Alligator
will sneak up and try to make

you'll see how 1 fool the bad chaps
with these make-believe ears"
chuckled the bunny.
"Tll come" promised the musk
rat lady.
1t was busy day in the hollow
stump bungalow. Uncle Wiggily
and Nurse Jane packed up boxes
and baskets of lunch for the ami
NAL children. and soon the bunny
gentleman and his muskrat lady
housekeeper, with jolly crowd of
animal girls and boys. were on
their way to the forest,
"Oh, what a lovely day for a
party in May" sang Susie Little
tail, the rabbit girl.
1.-THE April showers have brought
May flowers!" recited Curly Twis-
tytail, the piggie boy.
Now, boys and girls!" cried
jolly Uncle Wiggily, as they came
to dinghy dell grove in the woods,

time until noon, when we'll eat the
lunches Nurse Jane put up for us -
What are you going to do, I'm
Gle Wiggily?" asked Mamie Wag-
tail, the goat girl.
"Oh, l am going to be busy for
time in fooling the bad animals
that may come to nibble my ears"
answered the bunny gentleman.
Then, while the animal boys and
girls played tag and other games,
the bunny gentleman hoped over
to a big fallen log, and on 1t he
fastened, with some sticky gum
from a pine tree, the make-believe
cloth ears he had made. When he
had finished it looked as though
four rabbits were hiding down be-
hind the log, with just their ears
sticking up.
And that's what the Bob Cat, the
Fuzzy Fox, the Woozie Wolf and
the Skillery Scalery Alligator
thought. They soon came sneak.
ing through the woods, having
heard the jolly sounds Of the May

"Oh, look at Uncle Wiggily's
ears," howled the Wolf.

AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

When DIR Frank Crane said,
"The people who are against help
ing Europe and urge that the U. S.
keep in isolation to the rest of the
world Gas some people say we have
plenty of poor right at home are
the very ones who do not give even
to those poor must get over their
petty nationalism and visualize a
cooperative world. The fact re-
mains that the only intelligent basis
for any kind of ethics that can last
is humanity and the welfare of the
human race"
So the true woman--little moth
er--who sent that bundle of lovely
warm child's clothing to us for
Russia is too big to be petty. She
visualized the joy of some mother
who will smile as lie opens her
package and finds good warm
wooden stockings and shirts, hood
and muffler; and oh Joy! a lovely
coat newly made with even a pock-
ct in it which shall hold nickel
and she will tell her child that
women in America have hearts.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S MAY
PARTY.
BY Howard B. CARTS

Nurse Jane, have you In the

or some cloth that looks like the
fur on my ears?" asked Uncle
Wiggily one day, as he walked into
the kitchen. where the muskrat
lady was getting ready to boil a
carrot pie to make it tender.
white fuzzy flannel like your
ears" exclaimed Miss Fuzzy Wuz-
zy. What In the world do you
want that for? 1t isn't cold wealth
er now. and you don't need any
ear puffs."
II know that" laughed Uncle
Wiggily. with his pink nose twink
ling upside down. "But I want the
cloth just the same"
Wondering very much what he
wanted of it. the muskrat lady
housekeeper got from a closet
some odd pieces of soft white cloth
that looked just like rabbit fur. 1t
had once been used as trimming
on one of Nurse James. dresses.
"Ah, that's the very thing I
need!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily.
Now I'll be able to have my May
party in peace and quiet! Just let
me take a pair of scissors, Nurse

WESTERN STUFF
HOW TEX EWALT DID 1T ALL

Tex" by Clarence e. Mulford "a. C.
McClurg)
New, here is "Tex."
The appetizer flowing from the
title page gives one an idea: How
Tex Ewalt, two-gun man, phlloso-
pher poet turned whole
community upside down, and dealt
retributive justice to several OF
Windsor's leading citizens, for the
sake of girl he loved
This is the same story that west
ern story writer's have been grind
ing out ever since the days of AZ.
Tex has been rather a devil of a
fellow. He Is the reformed bad
man who becomes marshal of tile
bad town. He rescues the girl, out
wits the reprehensible town boss,
foils the claim jumpers, nolds 20
sneering DULLES at bay. There is
much ough-and-tumble lighting,
much poker playing, much whiskey
drinking. Most of the characters
are frank in the use of "h--l' and
"d-n."
In an endeavor to make Tex
unique, Mr.. milford resorts to the
ancient expedient of having him
quote Shakespeare and spout tire
lesAy on the nebular hypothesis )"
The characters are but faint
smudges on the readers imagina.
ton. Mr.. milford has lodged his
logical climax. His story lacks
punch. One misses Grey's back
grounds, Kynes characters, Whites
style.
And yet Mr.. milford shouldn't
be blamed too much. To be orig
inal, to dig up fresh characters, to
mold new plots, to polish ones
style, to paint distinctive back
grounds-to do all this, one must
think. Who likes to do creative
thinking?
Mr.. milford no doubt chose to
look at the matter as business
proposition. He saw that he could
write three stories like this one in
the same length of time that II
would take to write only one pos
sessing some claim (perhaps doubt
full, at that) to literary merit. It's
a mere matter Of proportions: Is
to as possible starvation Is to
probable bank account.
After all, he selected the sure
fire formula, for some readers
choose their fiction as they do
their tomatoes. They like the old,
tried brands best.
For those who enjoy having
things happen, the book will pro-
vide two or three hours enter
tainment. p. e.

that they had to run away to get
drinks of water. So they didn't
bother Uncle Wiggily at all, nor
the animal children, and there was
lovely time at the May party.
Wasn't the bunny gentleman smart
to think of fastening make-believe
cloth ears on the log to fool the
bad chaps? I think so.
And, II the scissors don't cut the
tail off the long thread when 1t
tries to tickle the needle in the
eye, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily's whipped cream.
