THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

For many months the journal has been highly
dispeased by the conduct in office of two of the
county commissioners. We believe that Mr. Albert
Simms has done all that could be expected under
the conditions. lie has been compelled to agree tc
many things against the best interests of the public
in order to hold the other of the two remain
ing commissioners with him. Only in this way could
he stave off the present combination against him
between Sanchez and Gutierrez. which menaces the
entire county. Mr.. Simms has been in an extremely
difficult position and the public should be grateful
that he did not resign long ago, in the face Of all
the annoyances lie has been compelled to face.
The journal refused to support these men In
1920, although they ON the democratic county
ticket They are fusion republicans and were given
a place on the ticket as SUCH Their opponents were
little better.
Gutierrez record during the previous two years
proved his unfitness for the place. He has con-
ception OF public service Sanchez is wholly incom'
petent.
These should be removed from office. Legal
grounds can doubtless be found for such course
At least, an attempt should be made, for they men
ace every interest OF the county
The ultimate remedy is for the people to refuse
fatty to support incompetents TO manage great
business corporation like Bernao county. The
party which attempts to foist such men onto the
people should be punished by defeat unless it re.
pudates their misconduct.
Democratic and independent republican leaders
owe it to their organizations to abandon these two
commissioners and to see that an action is brought
to remove them. political organization must show
willingness to clean its house if it expects tc
retain public confidence
For month past the Journal has been in touch
with the sheriffs office and the district attorney:
office in an effort get tangible proofs justifyine
public effort to remove these commissioners.

ditons which will make success possible in these
lines and to stop practices which retard develop
ment
A campaign Of publicity, through the press and
the schools should be carried on TO educate the
children to stay off from wet lawns and to let the
flowers alone The present vandalism in these lines
is a disgrace to the parents Of the city. Not only
are flowers pucked and stolen from private 81 ounds
but often the entre plant is torn out by the roots
Another service be rendered along the line
of educating people not to throw loose papers and
other light debris where the wind can sweep 1t
about one woman found tender missive in her
front yard which had been carried by the wind from
the home OF young flapper fourteen blocks away
Another woman found one in which husband told
his wife that he was tired Of her and not COM
ing home any more
Such an organization could encourage small in
Generators in back yards and city project for a
municipal incinerator. There are many other prof.
ects of civic identifying doubt which could prof
itably receive the attention OF such organization
The effect upon the community generally Of such
a movement would be extremely wholesome. Albu-
querque must arouse her pride and take new
life in the matter of the city beautiful. We are ex-
tremely laggard in this regard
Are there public-spirited men and women who
will help in such movement? without her con-
sent the Journal asks Mrs Neill B. Field to serve
as a point of concentration. Call write to Mrs,
Field IL you agree with this suggestion.

A WATER SUPPLY.

Will some one who knows please call our atten-
ton to great and prosperous city in the United
States which lifts its city water from nine hundred
feet under the ground? We know Of none. The
fact that live in the desert where unusually large
quantities of water needed adds to the problem
Albuquerque come into her own while
depending her present water supply.
The Journal realizes that this is matter which
cannot be quickly corrected. Nevertheless the pre-
limnary steps looking toward solution should be
begun by the city commission in the near future.
What should be the source of the city wate'
supply is a matter upon which the journal has not
matured present opinion That new source Of
cheap and abundant supply should be found should
be apparent TO everyone.
Many canyons lie to the east of us. Some of
them have living streams. Almost any of them
handle annually many times the amount of water
consumed by Albuquerque.
The question of where is engineering prob
lem Costs of installation and of operation can be
easily learned by competent Guess work
should be eliminated. Two years from now the
public mind should DO educated with the facts
and figures that intelligent verdict can be given
Certain it is that abundant supply OF pure
soft water must be obtained by gravity before the
low water rate can prevail which will make Abu-
querque what she is entitled to be. We should be-
gin to investigate now.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL LAMENT.

1t has been the custom for so long among college
plore numerous defects in education it is dshed
out by the public schools that ore or lest Ia
mentation of this character should not make much
difference Nevertheless, the complaint DR.. Light
ner Wilmer professor Of psychology at the univer-
sty Of Pennsylvania, finds 1t impossible to refrain
from adding to the long list is interesting because
of its novelty.
The great flaw of the present-day system of
public instruction Dr. Wilmer has observed 1t Is
that it attempts ito educate mediodcrities beyond
their intelligence" He would keep average chill
dren from going beyond their appropriate numbef
of school years by making their parents understand
that it will do them good to have further learn
ing; that they might we'll be at work helping to
money for the family.
"The same thing" he adds, lis true OF the col
leges Each year great number Of pupils are al
lowed to matriculate who have no business in col
lege who accomplish nothing except to clog up the
system"
This theory if applied literally to all school chill
dren would do away with education, since the pur'
pose of all instruction is teach the pupil things
that were beyond his intelligence before Nc
pupil. even though dun some college profes'
sors fails TO benefit from additional instruction
however far he may have already progressed in q
given line of study.
The human being learns something new every
day of life If a pupil can go to school and learr
nothing the fault is in the school, not the pupil.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
BRAINY BABE RUTH.
(From Rock Island Argus }

lfrOm ROCK island ArguS.)
DR.. a. r. Winship editor Of the Journal Of Ed
Iucation, in discussing education and sport, re-
marked that Babe Ruth has larger salary than
supelintendens. because Babe knows how to use
home this he did in 1921 he will
draw down compensation 100000 greater than
Warren G.. Harding will receive as president Of the
United States. DR.. Winship does not grudge Ruth
his big income. He is not hurt because he gets
only about one tenth the wage that the baseball
player gets. He says that Ruth is unusually
clever in making calculations and in concentrat-
ing his mind on his job. He thinks that Ruth has
no equal in accurate thinking and praises his con-
fdence in his ability to make his hands do the bid
ding of his mind This is certainly original sp-
probation of the great American game. 1t puts
sports in higher category The University of
Maine has elected its president former
Harvard athlete and coach.
Bacon used to say that il found his wit
was wandering he should study mathematics. DIR.
Wnshp thinks that Babe Ruth is a practical math-
ematcian, and summons his fellow educators TO
aim to develop a generation of accurate and per-
sistent thinkers. The man who has originality and
q determination to think all around and through
and find the center Of his problems may become a
Babe Ruth in his particular place in life. Those
| who differ from Mr.. Winship In his high vaua-
ton OF the mentality of Babe Ruth may argue that
the public will pay for sport than for educa-
| ton, but get around the point that
Ruth's success is not matter Of chance or freak
luck. He has made his business a scientific thing
and elevated his accomplishment to fine art
There few people who would find themselves
hurt by better application of their gray matter to
! the tasks they have in hand.

LOBBYING" CONGRESS.

Some years ago lobbyists in the halls of congress
demand that they be placed under ban.
In recent years not much has been heard of the
professional lobbyist but there indications that
he is operating in more genteel way.
There at present good and bad Hobbies in
congress-representatives Of organizations and of
private enterprises who seek to secure support By
bringing pressure upon members Of congress by
personal contact, rather than depending petit
tons to proper committees for the action sought.
Both wet and dry interests active among the
members Of congress, and If there is anything cal
culated to distract the attention of a congressman
from the duties to which he has been selected it is
to be harassed by the representatives of interests
which seek his pledge for support.
Other interests little less obnoxious in the
manner in which they press for support for meas
ure in which they interested. One of the favor
lite arguments of these lobbyists is that they repre-
sent a strong public sentiment-and public sentl-
ment may be converted into votes either for or
against congressman who seeks reelection. There
is nothing new in the situation, except that there
are more Of the lobbics and that they better
organized and much more efficient.
The system only exist by the tolerance OF
the folks back home''--the constituents who are
content to go on working and paying their taxes
while special interests make life unpleasant for the
men who have been elected to congress Congress
has power to protect itself but it does not seem &c
exercise it.

GRAIN
Chicago Board OF Trade.

Chicago, May 2.-Wheat aver
aged higher in price today owing
chiefly to persistent buying of May
delivery, although such buying was
confined almost altogether to a
single house. The market closed
unsettled at the same as yester-
days finish to 2Kc higher, with
May $1.43% to s1.43% and July
s1.2SS to $1.2S1s. Corn closed
&c off to a shade advance, oats
up nc to ~ to &c and provi-
sions varying from sc decline to 7c
advance.
The house which did the bulk OF
the buying of Nav wheat was 81
multaneously engaged in selling
July. This action caused the price
difference between the two months
to widen about 11sc a bushel as
compared with yesterday. Persons
who professed to know said most
of the shorts in May were prepared
to deliver cash wheat on May con-
tracts when the time arrived and
that the only other important short
interest was on the part Of millers
who had their wheat stocks
hedged.
Corn and oats advanced with
wheat, but during the later deal
ings something Of setback In corr
prices took place, domestic ship.
ping demand for corn being light
and export bids out of line.
Good cash demand for meats
rallied the provision market from,
an early decline due to lower quo
tations on hogs.

fool me on flannel ears, either. I'll
.nibble your real oues."
Poor Uncle Wiggily hardly knew
what to do. lie looked at the dish
OF potatoes on the table and said:
"WiIl you have a potato, Mr..
Wolf. before you nibble my ears?'
well, yes | don't mind il ! do"
growled the bad chap. Uncle Wig
gily put n potato on a plate and
then reached for the caster of red
hot cayenne pepper, and busted a
lot of the hot red stuff on the po-
tato.
What are you doing?" asked the
Wolf
"Oh. just putting a little flavor
on your lunch" answered the bun
my. "Here, eat this and then, il
you wish, l suppose you'll nibble
my ears"
That's what I'll dol" howled the
Wolf. Then he took a bite of the
potato. but the red hot pepper
burned his tongue and with howl
the bad chap jumped out of the
window the way he had come.
"Oh, ho!" laughed the bunny. 81
guess you won't nibble my ears to-
day. What you need now is ice
water!" And the Wolf had to go
a long way to cool his tongue. Then
Nurse Jane came In, and she
laughed and was delightfully."- sur
prised to find lunch all ready. She
said the bunny gentleman was quite
smart.
And IL roller skate doesn't try to
play baseball with the popcorn bail
and make the rubber ball sprinkle
water in the eyes of the potatoes,
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wig
gily and Mr.. Sucker.

He stood a moment at the weathered edge
OF the highest cliff, and looked far out with
Upon the great valleys ending In the haze,
And mountains that from haze drove up wedge
OF snow in skies of apis-lazuli.
Then something of the littleness of days
His life could span to him dizzily;
And he, who boosted of his strength with men,
Turned back and grasped a little cedar tree
Near by, for safety; and he shut his eyes,
Shaken, and would not turn to look again.
Back from that cliff-edge, jutting to the skies.
He crawled, and spoke at last with heavy BREATH
