A NEW FIRE CHIEF.

Without any reflection upon the present man
agement of the fire department the Journal wishes
to suggest the propriety of placing highly trained
expert in fire-fightng at the head Of the depart
ment.
Albuquerque is becoming more metropolitan
every year. The dangers Of loss by fire grow more
and more serious. What seemed fairly well for a
village will not be sufficient for city.
Fighting fires is a science. To know how to
get at to the seat of fire and extinguish it
with a minimum use of water, is the job of an
expert. Such man save serious losses to our
people. As efficiency in the department increases,
insurance rates 90 lower. Skill is important to
every citizen.
A fire department should be out of politics, out
Of labor entanglements and out of everything else
except fighting fires A new chief who has had
nothing to do with the controversies Of the past
year will have chance to increase the morale Of
the department and the unanmity of public sup
port.
Experts, who have members of their families
who need the benefit of our climate. can be had at
salaries which otherwise would be much higher.
We are in position to get experts as good the
best. This should be done.

LLOYD GEORGE.

Lloyd George publicly regrets the absence of
America from the Genoa conference. We are pre-
pared to accept his avowal that the reasons for his
regret not wholly selfish.
The United States is leaving Lloyd George to
fight against the prejudces and hatreds Of the Old
World. He alone seems to that the welfare of
England will not be served best by fighting for
petty advantage but rather in reconciling differ
ences and restoring peace in the world.
Our isolation is purely geographic. Even in this
respect we are not as isolated choose to be-
Meve, as long as have the Philippines to defend.
But in no other way isolated.
Economically situation is very much COM
plicated with that of Europe. Our goods for export
pile up on hands while our potential customers
quarrel over practical methods instead of settling
down to substantial production.
Morally we failing to assume that leadership
which came to us as a result of the war.
1t is idle for us to talk of avoiding foreign en-
tangements, We are entangled in foreign affairs
whether we will it so not. Better far to frankly
take hand in adjusting things than to let them
drift from bad to worse. We will suffer with the
rest from the failure of peace to prevail in the
world.
AS well leave court room without judge he
cause li.igants and lawyers troublesome, or
leave a school room without teacher because the
pupils are unruly, as to leave Europe without the
moral and intellectual leadership of America. our
power comes from the very isolation from their
political quarrels which leads some Of states
to keep hands off.
There is something heroic about Lloyd George
at Genoa. The supreme courage and astuteness OF
the man as he faces begerent world, has great
appeal TO the imagination.
God grant that he may not fail

WHOM DID WE SHEER AT?

Tho evening paper says that we sneered at the
American army uniform; cast reflections on ex-ser-
vice men and minimized the services of the national
guard at Gallup That paper grows grandose, not
to say grandstandy on the subject
The editor Of the Journal has who wore
tho American uniform and is an ex-servce man.
This boy spent many months under the Smelling OF
German guns We hardly have the mood to speak
lightly OF these things.
We suspect that we have shown about much
interest in the ex-service the evening paper
For instance will be glad to compare records
on the subject of adjusted compensation legislation
We did not speak lightly of even the national
guard. We have said before that they are merely
cbeying orders.
III We were speaking lightly of making monkeys

ITO be lat home attending TO business. 10 order

COOPERATION.

All effort to create the impression that there is
friction in the new city commission, should be
ignored as false. There is only the normal differ
ence of opinion among who have minds Of their
own, except for the deliberate effort of Commits
soner Thomas Hughes to throw monkey wrench
into the machinery. Mr.. Hughes is acting in bad
faith as result of soreness over the outcome of the
election.
Public opinion will punish him IL he refuses to
accept the verdict of the people at the polls and
TO cooperate cordially with those whom the voters
chose to give him colleagues.
The public is satisfied with the choice of Mr..
Walton as mayor. The remainder of the commits
sion Mr. Hughes excepted, satisfied with the
course Mr.. Walton is taking. The effort of Mr..
Hughes newspaper to create different public i'm
preston is characteristic Hughes politics
The Journal did not approve of the old COM
mission but it let them alone because it did not wish
to handicap them in their task Mr.. Hughes will
find his present policy possess terrific kick
back.
Tom Hughes is nice fellow personally but he
sleeps restessly political bed at night and has
his front feet in the political trough by day. He
acts as though nothing short of taking him by a
hind leg and dragging him away will keep him from
crowding.
We hope that Mr.. Hughes will see the light and
will cooperate with the policy of the new mem
bers. These there with brand-new com
missions from the people.

FARMS FOR VEGETABLES.

According to statement from Secretary Fail
Of the interior department. about 600 inquiries
have been received by war veterans regarding the
possibility of obtaining farm land from the gov
eminent and over 900 have made definite APP
plicaton, with more applications coming in all tbs
time.
1t is significant" says the secretary, that the
bulk of these inquiries generally comes from states
where the price of land has reached such heights
that opportunities for of small capital te
acquire home extremely limited"
All sections OF the country are represented, how
ever. There have been nearly 100000 inquiries
from the middle west, over $4,000 from arid and
semi-ard states. $4,000 from the east and 100000
from the south.
The reclamation service has been able to offer
former soldiers only 400 farms in the last two years

squirrel boys one good little turn"
thought the bunny, as he pumped
more air in his tire 20 it wouldn't
be flat. Then he rode on little
farther, wondering what his next
adventure would be. when, all of a
! sudden, a little angle worm boy
, crawled across the road in front
of the rabbit gentleman, raised
! himself up in the air as far as he
could, and cried: "Stop!"
Are you a traffic policeman? ?"
asked Uncle Wiggily, joking like.

boy. "but my friend the Lady Cow
is stuck over in the Doggy swamp
and she can't get OUT"
| "How do you mean stuck?" ask
ed Uncle Wiggiy.

the angle worm boy. 'She waded
out too far in the swamp to get a
drink and her legs sank away down
in the mud, and now she can't pull
them out. She is mooing for help.
If you listen you can hear her"
Uncle Wiggily listened and. sure

the angle worm. Though it isn't
far from here, it takes me Il good
while to crawl the distance. as |

So Uncle Wiggily kindly lifted
the angle worm up on the front
seat beside him and together they
rode to where the Lady Cow was
caught in the swampy bog.
Moo! Moo! Help! Help" she
cried.
"IIl help YOU" said Uncle Wig
gily. "I'll tie soi4ething to you
and fasten the other end to my
auto. which I will keep on the

gave Uncle Wiggily a glass of milk.

the bunny, and he did. and that's

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
CONAN DoYLE's HEREAFTER.
(From the New York Times.)

(F'rom the New York Tmes)
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has made some very dis
quoting reports about the future life. 1t appears
that wide is the gate and broad the way that lead
eth to eternal felicity whereas the road to Gebenna
is straight and narrow. Apparently, it takes con-
siderable ingenuity to achieve eternal damnaton
The old -fashioned Byronc hero who for one rea-
son or another used to announce that he was CO.
ing to the devil was biting off more than he could
chew Sir Arthur's own Professor Morarty might
perhaps be brilliant enough to lose his soul, but
the task seems beyond the powers of the average
man.
Thus there seems to be some excuse for the young
clergyman whose presbytery refused to ordan him
because he couldn't give the location and bound
aries of Tophet If even those who try to go there
can't find it, one can hardly expect geographical
eXacttude from preacher who presumably is try
ing to keep out. But any satisfaction which the
pered by Sir Arthurs description of Heaven. Those
who have lived virtuous lives here below will be
greeted at by their friends, whereas the evil
must wait around in Heaven like newcomers in a
strange town, befriended only by some occasional
kindly angel" For those of US who think of Hea-
ven place where shall never have to see
our friends of earth this puts quite a premium on
bad life.
Poorly mated husbands and wives, says Sir Ar
thur, never meet in the hereafter. "but go their
ways to find those for whom they destined"
Thanks to the divorce courts, most Of them are
able to do that here below; and the evidence indi-
Gates that those for whom they were destined are
not always satisfactory than the unhappy
first choice. There seems to be growing up a wide
spread belief in the sanctity of second marriage,
which is not wholly borne out by experience. Sir
Arthur says also that in the next world each OF us
does the work for which he is fitted; music. sci
ence and literature consequently flourish But what
Is to become of the uncounted mutitudes. by no
means all of them Montmarte in Greenwich
Village endowed with the aptitudes Of subway
ticket chopper but cursed by artistic ambitions? In
the hereafter, apparently, they will chop tickets
That may satisfy eternal justice. but 1t is pretty
hard on the unsuccessful artists For most of them
get more satisfaction out of futile efforts to be
artists than they could from the highest success in
ticket choppng. proper heaven ought to allow
everybody to do what he wants rather than what
he can. One feels an uneasy suspicion that Sir
Arthur has missed something of the highest inn
porance in his geography of the hereafter. No
doubt his heaven is easy to reach, but is he SO
sure it is really Heaven?

THE SUBWAY is LIT.

The subway is lit like a great cathedral,
And myriad shadows whisper and float.

And a scream of steel is in the winds throat
The trains are moving like things of madness,
And the eyes of men have CLASSY stare.
Where is the music of holiness?
And where the uplifted face Of a prayer?

THE MARKETS
(By The Associated Press.)
FINANCIAL
Wall Street.

New York. April 27.-Recent re-
dictionary tendencies on the stock
exchange became more accentuat-
ed today. Virtually every branch
of the list figured in the extreme
declines of one to three points on
dealings approximating 1,450,000
shares.
The coal strike. which affected
a further decrease of car loadings,
persistent reports of freight rate
reductions by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and the less
favorable aspects in the interna-
tional situation were among the
days restraining influences. Rail-
road earnings were favorable, how
ever, both Norfolk & Western and
Atchison showing large March
gains.
Further buying OF sterling cotton
bills sustained the London quota
ton in the local foreign exchange
market, but continental rates were
irregular. Francs eased slightly,
Belgian and Italian ,remittances
hardened, German marks were
finn and the Dutch quotations also
were higher. Other so-called neu-
trails showed ne material altcra-
ton.
