HARDING's WISE COURSE.

The public, regardless of party affiation, will
approve President Harding's recent announcement
that he has no intention of taking the stump in
coming congressional elections. To have done SO
would have placed Mr.. Harding In the same embar-
RAISING position Woodrow Wilson found himself
in 1918, when he made a personal appeal for the
election of democratic congress and aroused the
antagonsm Of voters the country over who re-
scented an attempt to dictate from the White House
what they should do at the polls.
Everybody knew that President Wilson desired
the election of democratic congress- which was
entirely natural, but when he demanded it he made
blunder that cost his party nestimable thou
sands of votes Mr.. Harding is just keenly de-
sirous of the support of republican congress the
next two years Mr.. Wilson was when he went
before the people in behalf of democratic congress
but he does not believe it wise try to swing the
elections by official pressure from Washington.
Democratic correspondents who tell their read
ers that the presidents position Is based dissat-
isfaction with the accomplishments Of the present
congress dominated by his own party, simply
silly. 1t is foolish to believe that Mr.. Harding
would prefer democratic to republican con-
gress particularly in view of the fact that congress
and the president good terms and that the
first Of the year the administration saw many of
the White House policies adopted.
Had Mr.. Harding decided to make a personal
appeal to the county, these same democratic cor
respondents would have been the first to wire their
papers that the republicans were frightened and
falling back the White House to save the day
for the party Nothing either congress the pres
ident does or says will satisfy democrats who can
not be hampered by facts in their campaign for
control at Washington.

DUTY AND A PRIVILEGE.

The Y NJ c. A. is mandatory where boys are
turned into useful citizens.
The gang spirit" takes possession of almost
every boy at the of twelve years and stays with
him until he is twenty. The fellows will gang
up" somewhere VIII it be around pool halls under
degenerating influences around the "Y" under
circumstantial surroundings? Which would you
prefer for your boy?
The Y. M is not self-supporting. If 1t is made
a self-sustaining club it ceases to function a
public utility in caring for the boys.
Making up the deficit in the best investment and
greatest privilege have who want the boys of
today to be city asset tomorrow. instead of being
liability.
A city without Y NJ C. A. is to be pited. To
have one is to show that think at least as much
or our boys as do of our dollars

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
WHY is A REVOLVER?
(From the Duluth Herald. J


Chicago restaurant owner offered reward of
a thousand dollars to anybody who would give one
good for permitting revolvers to be made in
America.
number OF people have reached for that re-
ward, but they have not attained It. Nobody yet
has offered a valid reason why revolvers should
be manufactured sold and it is not at all likely
that anyone will.
revolver is either a useless toy or criminals
tool Where revolvers are used they either
used for target practice. for which purpose a.
caber rifle would do well, to kill people who
get in the way of crooks.
Some of those who have tried to win that thou
sand dollars have urged that revovers needed
to protect the homes against invaders. That is
the poorest possible excuse for Them The most
foolish thing any householder can do, II he thinks
there is burglar in the house, is to take re-
volver and go hunting for him. The burglar is on
the lookout Is keyed UP and nervous, is desperate,
and will almost invariably shoot first. Though he
would much prefer not to shoot, he will kill rather
I than be killed. Besides. the average householder
is SO little accustomed to the of firearms that
he is likely to hit himself member of the
family than he is to hit the burglar.
The man who offered the reward says that II
people want firearms for target practice or to pro-
| tect their homes they should use rifles or shot
guns They can't be concealed, but the revolver
can be concealed easily as pint OF moonshine
on the hip, and that is one Of the most damning
| of the indictments against 1t.
| 1t is very doubtful indeed IL anybody ever sub
mts essay that any sensible jury of judges will
isay has fairly won the prize.

and make personal investigation of the immisra-
ton problem is perhaps foremost Of these. She
reports incredible poverty, disease. pauperized nv-

Mrs Moore recommended that the sitting Of
prospective immigrants be conducted abroad instead

Mrs. Moore recommended Suspension of immigra-
ton by an Immigration holiday" Of five years
Her testimony before the senate committee did
much to induce the extension of restriction which
it has recommended.
Certainly the situation Is such as to justify a
continuance of the restrictive law and little may be
expected in the next two years to change it,

"Am l here? OF course, I'm

telephone"
"Never mind about that" went

Fox. holding up one paw. We've
tried that more than once"
But have new way!"

KEEP OUT THE ALIENS.

The United States senate, II it is wise, will pass
the bill before it providing for the extension of the
present three per cent quota immigration act for
two years beyond July /. Undoubtedly the bill IL
put to a vote of the people would be approved by
an overwhelming majority
Labor especially is pleased at the results OF re-
striction Statistics show that without this law un
employment during the last year would have been
tremendously increased by the arrival of hundreds
OF thousands OF immigrants. Representative Albert
johnson, chairman OF the house immigration COM
nittee estimated the floor OF the house recently
that the percentage act has kept from the United
states 100000 or 100000 aliens date and will by
June 80 next have kept out 100000
That the immigration peril from which this
country has been spared Is not fcona is evidenced

So the two bad chaps sneaked
over the fields and through the
woods until they came close to
Uncle Wiggily's hollow stump

bushes. waiting for the sun to set

Just at dusk Uncle Wiggily
hoped across the fields to his
bungalow, his pink nose cheer

little tune as he went inside.

VERSE OF TODAY
THE STAR IN THE WEST.

The world has lost its old content;
With girded loins and nervous hands
The age leads on: her sharp commands
Ring plains and table-lands
OF this wide-watered continent,
Who calls the poor in spirit blest?
The rich in spirit win their own.
Hank to the wars shrill bugles blown!
Look to the ripping banner thrown
Outstreamirg in the west!
Who says the meek inherit here?
The earth is theirs whose hands are strong
Work, for the night comes; art is long.
Onward the keen stern faces throng
Quick-eyed, intent, sincere.
Our life has lost its ancient rest
The ccje blue flower of peace that grows
By cottage wall and garden close.
Star in the east, ah, whittier goes
This star that leads us west?

MIDDLETON SENTENCED

STATE PENITENTIARY

Especial Correspondence to Tho Journai.J
Las Vegas. N. M. April 14.-John
w. Middleton, who had been grant,
ed a new trial on the charge of
murder, entered /, plea Of guilty to
a charge Of manslaughter at the re-
cent term OF court at Santa Rosa,
and received a sentence Of not less
than seven years nor more than
twenty years in the state peniten-
tiary. Middleton was convicted Of
murder In 1918, following the kill
ing of a neighboring ranchman. He
appealed to the supreme court and
the case was remai. ded for new
trial. In the meantime, Middleton's
bondsmen had turned him in and
he was confined in the Guadalupe
county Jail. His health became
there. and he was taken
at Christmas time to the peniten-
tilry, where he might have better
care. Middleton is said to be suf-

of spotted" perhaps best expresses
the general outlook. As to the
weather condition, it might be said
that the rains in the west, while
delaying crop work, holding down
spring retail distribution and flood
ing the country's streams and low
lands, have compensated in ten
dency to greatly improve future
crop and soil conditions. The strike,
however, especially that OF the coal
miners involving the voluntary
idleness of $4,000 men, is virtually
a tax on industry as whole just
as truly as failure and fire losses
constitute a menace to all trade
and industry at time when nearly
all other prospects are pleasing.
