GERMANY's CHANCE.

The first general expression of the political ten-
dency Of the new Germany will be given the world
in the elections which will be held in May.
When Ebert was chosen president Germany was
still country divided against itself uneasy, sus-
picous, and gravely uncertain for the future. The
nightmare Of war still preyed the minds OF all
Europe; the treaty was matter of daily specula-
ton; Germany sought feverishly for leaders, and
feverishly for sign by which they might choose
the road Of the future.
The passing of time has brought perspective.
The broken old man in Holland Is remembered no
longer in fear. Radical revolt has broken itself
against orderly government. Industriallsts like
SHINES have revitalized the business machinery
Germany, If still broken and depressed at least has
completed her stock-takng. has surveyed the sit
uation in which she finds herself and has had Bit
ter opportunity for second thought
All of this focuses in the coming election, when
the first president is to be chosen. Ebert became
provisional president until such time as every Ger
man citizen could cast vote unafraid. That time
has come, and the political parties are intensvely
at work to win the honor of choosing the course
and steering the ship through the dangerous waters
of reconstruction.
1t would be strange indeed If Ludendorff does
not appear as candidate. That is to be expected
not only does royalism die hard, but there Is much
in nation like Germany which clings to the tradi-
ton Of a strong-fisted ruler, even under the form
of democracy 1t is equally sure, nonetheess, that
the liberal groups including labor, prepared to
crystalline all their efforts of the past several years

ments, the president of whatever party he may
be- has before him not only difficult task but
an opportunity for noble leadership and construc
tive performance such as comes to only a few fig
ures in an era.

NO TRIUMVIRATE.

The law provides for five city commissioners
If IT had been intended that there should be but
three It is fair presumption that the charter would
state.
The reason for having five commissioners instead
of one is because five heads presumed to be bet
ter than one and five points of view nearly
representative OF all the people than viewpoint
would be.
The charter contemplates, doubt that each
commissioner shall act independently and the vote
represent the crystallized opinion of the five
For three commissioners to enter into hard
and fast agreement to settle, outside of the COM
mission meetings the policy which is to be pursued
and then to vote as unit is to decide issues by a
two to one vote and to ignore the remaining two
representatives OF the people.
The understanding between Messrs. Connell, Nc
Laughln and Reynolds, whereby this course is pur-
sued is unwhoesome and unfair If they are re-
tanned on the commission such practice should be
abandoned.
Their policy is shown clearly in the announced
statement that all three will run for reelection, or
none will run. Thereby they loan each other moral
support. They take the position that all three must
be returned to office if any to give their services
There can be but purpose in all this: If the
control by the trlumvirate is to be broken will
return to office.
II the public wishes the services of Mr.. Connel
but doesn't desire those of Mr. Mclaughlin; or Il
it desires those of Mr. Mclaughlin but does not wish
those of Mr. Reynolds, it should be privileged tc
have one without the other.
In any event there should be a return to the
policy of an open commission where decisions are
openly arrived at. Closed-door arguments and de-
cisions should become a thing of the past. Their
tendency is unwholesome. Such a government soon
becomes unrepresentative of the people.

GAME PROTECTION.

The local Game Protective association held its
annual dinner last night. This organization is OF
far greater importance to New Mexico than most
citizens realize. The public should stand ready to
support the endeavors of this group of men.

hunting ground of America. This condition is pass
ing rapidly and will be gone, never to return, If
something intelligent is not done to prevent it.
OF course, predatory animals must 60 Civiliza-

But the deer and the wild turkey; the fish and
the lesser wild birds should be here for a century
to come. 1t is folly to kill them off to the
point where there is no "seed" left to reproduce.
Supervision of game destruction is sef-sup-
porting department of the state. 1t costs the tax
payer nothing. Were there no economic or humani
tartan for controlling these things the peo
pie should be friendly to the efforts of the
intelligent sportsmen to control the killing of
game to prevent its extinction.
But there excellent economic reasons for
such a course 1t adds to the desirability of New
Mexico as a place of residence. 1t brings many

providing refugees for game, and by fixing a bag

against humiliation.
Public sentiment is needed to lend support to
the enforcement of these laws and to keep politics
out of their administration.
The present game law is the result Of the direct
efforts Of the New Mexico Game Protection associa-
ton. 1t is not all that the association wished but
it is far in advance of the law in most states. I'm

10 migratory bird refugees have been provided.
