WHAT NOW?

Eugene " Debs is a free man. He comes out of
prison with his leadership among the socialists but
little. If any, impaired.
Mr.. Debs is not an unkndly violent man.
He is radical in his thinking rather than in his
duct. He possesses great abilities His good sense
should put restraining hand his theories Of
government.
Could the influence of Debs ideas be confined
to men of ability, they would be less harmful But
they are incendiary in the minds Of weak or dis
contented men. Violence follows the fusion of
Debs theories with certain kind of mind.
Debs believes in different form of government
than we have. No control should at
tempt to control his thinking. except by moral and
mental suasion. To attempt to repress those who
disagree with us is dangerous.
If Debs believes in working out his thorles
through revolution he will come again against the
stone wall of the law The majority must rule in
America and the vast majority OF people are
Interchangeable in their belief in institutions. Mr..
Debs will feel the weight Of this opinion II he
breaches violence
II he desires TO preach doctrine of evolution
toward what he deems to be better conditions. he
has that right. No should attempt to repress
him. The people will peaceable accept that which
they deem to be good and emphatically reject what
they consider bad dangerous. SO progress.
The public will watch with interest Mr.. Debs
present mental attitude. His future is In his own
hands

SUPPOSE 1T HAD BURNED

The Journal does not wish to be hypercritical
We merely wonder whether there is anyone on
guard for the people in Santa Fe. The governor
discovered the other day that s45Oo0 of additional
fire insurance directed to be placed the capitol
building and for which $4,000 appropriation had
been made, had never been issued. THE $4,000 had
been spent otherwise.
The added insurance is in force. We are
uniformed of the plans to pay for it. Perhaps
some bank will be given state deposit If it will
loan $4,000 to pay the bill and the next legislature
will be asked for deficiency appropriation We
say perhaps because such methods not I'M
known in Santa Fe.
What ails the insurance OF Santa Fe? Had
this appropriation covered property in Albuquerque
81 varieties of insurance solicitors would have been
on hand at a. to get the business. The Journal
suggests that Hall and Wiley, surety bond experts,
go into the fire insurance business also. They over
looked something, somehow.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Dec. S1.-Powerful sup
port today largely nullified forced
receivership liquidation on the
Chicago board of trade and as a
consequence net changes were linn
tied. December wheat was the
sole exception, that option closing

and July wheat closed unchanged,
corn was - to q lower, oats u C

Trade in wheat started fairly
large but the initial offerings were
taken promptly and when 1t was
seen that the larger interests would
support the market, the downward
tendency was checked. e. w. Wag-

December wheat, which fluctuated
wildly and then slumped sharply in
the final half hour when the in
terests supporting the market
ignored 1t. The general outcome
of the day was regarded as salts

sighs Of relief when the gong end

Corn had some early support
when the Wagner movement was
on but turned dull and heavy later
Oats followed suit.
A sharp advance in hogs helped
steady provisions but they were
easier with grains. There
was some liquidation evident in

THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

Bankers industrial managers and travelling mer
all agree that business is considerably brighter now
than it few months even a few weeks
ago In the language of the road, its beginning
to roll" Now the big question in the minds OF
small dealers and retailers is how will this
Improvement begin to make itself substantially felt
among the rank and file.
The is problematca Nobody can
forecast the exact date for prosperity to begin.
Indeed, it is likely that the turn Of the tide If not
already here. will be gradual, as to be almost
imperceptibe.
The railroads are in better shape than they
were. The steel mills report slight increases in
payros and building and construction work is
swinging brsky along There is still much I'M
employment and will be during the winter. With
the coming of spring, the whole prospect will
change and the tide of damned up business will
begin to flow. The reservoirs of supplies are low
all the way from retailer to manufacturer, and
when orders begin to pour in upon the mills and
factories there will be haste to build up depleted
stocks.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE WINGS OF SAFETY.
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer)
Truly the wings of safety shelter us even though
perusal of the daily press seems to Indicate that
death by accident has become a common place in
cident of human experience.
The accident record is an appalling to con-
template, but in reality the few suffer, the many
go unscathed
The automobile toll of lives has attained menac-
ing proportions. But in this field, in industry,
sport in business the world constantly ia labOring
to make life and limb safe The education in this
direction Is ceaseless. Ultimately the benefits of
this education will be realized.
Nothing strikingly could prove what may be
done with respect to avoidance OF death by accident
country. We travel by millions Every hour of the
day and night hundreds of thousands of men, wom-
en- and children are being carried here there every
where. And the wonderful thing about 1t Is that
these millions of precious lives go and come in COM
parative safety. No scheme system of transpor-
tation could be made absolutely SAFE but when the
chance of being killed in railroad accident is in
the ratio Of 4529000 to /, human and ingenuity
to have accomplished about all that is pos
sble in the matter of safeguarding lives intrusted to
this means OF conveyance,
The Pennsylvania system vouches for these fig
ures According to its computations the ratio in
1889 $4,000 to /. In 1919 the ratio OF safety
had increased to 1859 900 to l.
Should the strict rules and regulations enforced
by the railroads and all the requirements for safety
exercised by them, be generally brought into play
in the streets the factories end everywhere that
human beings face possible danger, what a delight
Tul word this would be to live and labor in.
If only in five million passengers is killed
the railroads 1t certainly should be possible to
duce the number of deaths that result from auto
mobile accidents and mishaps where machinery
menaces life and limb. Intelligent care Is the es-
sential rule to be applied everywhere.
Be careful and the wings Of safety will shelter

THE NEW YEAR,

The Journal wishes every reader happy and
prosperous New Year. The past twelve months have
been full of problems, Recession has been in full
swing. The losses OF have been great, All
have felt the pinch OF conditions.
Today face a period Of reconstruction. The
swing is upward. The worst is over. Recuperation
may slowly, but It will come in 1922.
The woman who is bear on the flu
ture of the good old L. s. A. fails to take into ac
count the vastness OF our resources and the char
acter of our citizens We will forward swiftly
in the future have in the past.
Now is the time to count losses only that we may
be intelligent in our use Of our resources This is
no time for repining announcement 1t is a
time for high courage and invncible determination.
At no time in it's history has the future held
in store for New Mexico than this New
Years morning. Our trend is upward. Our natural
resources adequate Our and are
equal to the need. Let us move forward
Albuquerque is especially favored. The new
Santa Fe shops completion. This year will see
them in full swing with hundreds Of additional high
saared employees.
There is every reason to believe that the new
railroad, opening up the San Juan basin, will be
constructed in 1922. An empire is at door.
Our climate offers sanctuary to the sick Of the
giving qualities that thousands may come and be
healed. 1t requires nothing but the spreading Of
the good news to bring hordes of sef-supporting
guests.
This year will see a new Chamber of Commerce
activity. Completely representative of the people,
1t will function with a efficiency.
We might go with note of hope Every
promise is for progress. We should face the future
and be happy and courageous today.

THE MARKETS


New York, Dec. 31.-The brief
trading period which marked the
close OF the year on the stock ex-
change developed no special fea-
lures.
Standard issues. both rails and
lndustrials, once more gave way to
specialties, some Of these being
strong, while others became irreg-
ular and reactionary. Reversals of
one to two points among invest
ment stocks were generally re-
trieved in the short covering Of the
final hour. sugars and textiles then
being most prominent. Bull pools
celebrated 1928 departure by ag-
gressive tactics in special stocks,
including some OF the more obscure
issues. Among these was Phillips
Jones. which rose thirteen points
on nominal dealings. Sales. AGO.
600 shares.
The bond market also was de-
void OF features, although relative
ly more active than stocks. Real
ling for profits caused moderate
easement among Liberty and Vic
tory issues and the domestic list
moved sluggishly. Total sales, par
value, aggregated sS.275,O0o.
British exchange held around
yesterdays final quotations, but
most continental rates were sub
stantially higher. Guilders or the
Dutch rate were strongest of the
neutrals. presumably in conse-
quence Of the announcement that
the home government had appor-
toned 40 per cent of the proposed
$1OO,000,000 issue to an American
banking syndicate.
The clearing house statement
showed few important changes,
considering the heavy transfer of
funds incidental to the years end.
Actual loans and discounts in
creased by s53,O0O,o0O and another
cash contraction of $11.20O,000 re-
duced excess reserves barely more
than $17,000,000.
