Dor quarters as being too compre-

who are not in sympathy with the

that the remedy invoked was i'll
chosen that experience has reason
ably convinced Of the futility Of
injunction proceedings in a crisis
such as now confronts the coun-
try: that another and more effec-
tive line of action was available to
the government and should have
been employed long ere this. Views
of this nature are OF course Wor-

Indeed. it may and should be read

of Justice has sought remedy OF

IMPRESSIVE TRIUMPH

y With respect to the temporary
agreement arrived at between the
anthracite operators and miners
the esteemed Washington Post
says: agreement by anthracite
operators and striking miners on
a basis of settlement is an impress
sive triumph for the Harding adj
ministration'S method OF dealing
with industrial disputes, and this
triumph is not dimmed by the fact
that. as a result of Stubbornness on
the part of the conflicting ele-
ments, it has been too long de
ferred. Praise for the final result
goes to the executive who, since
the menace of coal shortage was
first raised, has unfalteringly
urged the need for settlement and,
to this end. has spared no effort
to bring proper pressure to- bear
on operators and miners alike.
The foregoing was manifestiy
produced in the first flush of en-
thusiasm. 1t reminded one again
of how firmly established are the
social relations between the Post
and the White House. Later ON
in the same editorial, when the
mind OF the writer passed from
dinner engagements to a more Sc
rious discussion of the subject IN
hand-that is, the mine strike,
there followed d more rational, and
far less enthusiastic treatment OF
the theme. We find this Observa-
ton, for example; "While this
agreement promises to clear the
way for immediate resumption OF
production, it does not promise
permanent settlement.
This is much better. No doubt
the President did the best he could
or, one had best say, the best he
knew how, but the Presidential
intervention was apparently OF
small value. \ temporary or par
tial agreement was arrived at al
ter the operators had gone through
the motion OF asking for a public
mandate" after the decision to
continue the war wage scale, and
after presenting to the ultimate
conSumer" the alternative OF ireez-
ing or OF paying the freight and
the bills.
Other mine wars have been set
tied upon this same basis OF a dl-
vision of the SpoilS or the profits,
as other winters have approached.
1t is not apparent that the PreSi-
dent had much 10 do with the
agreement one way or another.
Had the President kept well out OF
II the strike would doubtless have
run this same, familiar course.

A BIGGER AND A BETTER
ALBUQUERQUE.

"Not only a bigger, but better Al
buquerque," was the keynote of an ad-
mirable address delivered by Rev. F. b.
Mcclure at the luncheon of the Kiwanis
Club. If Albuquerque does not prosper,
neither will its people prosper. The in
terest of one is the interest of all.
This city's growth has not been the
result of any artificial impetus; it has
been a natural and healthy growth. Its
potentialities are unlimited and with
whole-hearted cooperation on the part
of all. there is no reason why Albuquer-
que should not vie successfully with any
other city in its class. To be able to show
an increase in its building record of over
four hundred per cent for the first seven
months of this year as compared to the
corresponding period last year is an en-
viable record. Furthermore, out of fifty
representative industrial centers selected
by the post-office department for the pur-
pose of a revenue test, Albuquerque head
ed the list with an increase of over forty
per cent in July over the same month last
year, or the greatest increase of any city
in the United States.
All this portends a bigger Albuquer-
que. But the prosperity of people must
have NOR than material foundation if
it seeks to be permanent. A common in.
terest demands a common effort. Out OF
such an effort alone may we expect tC
grow better as we'll as a bigger city.

MEASURES WITH POLIT-
ICAI PIONEERS.

Coincidental with defying the
national government in the matter
of enforcing the new law for the
defense of the German republic
against the Vaccinations of both
reactionary and communist agita-
tors, the Bavarian authorities have
intensified the severity of the re-
gime maintained by them in the
fortress of Nieder8chonenfeld,
where scores of political prisoners
are serving time for their part in
the communist uprising in Bavaria
in the spring Of 1919, according to
accounts found in Berlin papers.
Although confinement in for
tress is supposed not to constitute
any reflection upon the character
of the prisoners, it is asserted that
the Bavarian reaction, not content
with having slandered its 'politi-
Gals" in defending itself against
caustic criticisms made in the
Reichstag some months ago, Is now
subjecting them to treatment only
accorded to the lowest common

ONE THING OR ANOTHER

Never before in the history of our
country has there been revolt so nearly
bordering on lawlessness as the wide
spread opposition to the prohibition
amendment. While polls are everywhere
being taken to ascertain the sentiment
of the people, there are fragrant viola
tions of the law which officials who are
charged to enforce are wholly ignoring.
The result is that the entire nation is
bearing a stupendous burden of taxation
while few bootleggers are making mil
lions in the illicit selling of liquor. If this
traffic were confined to one class of peo-
pie, the problem would not be difficult
to cope with. But in every community
with which one comes in contact may be
found men, and women avowedly having
every respect for law and order, who do
not deem themselves any more culpable
for violating the prohibition act than the
officials who openly frown upon its en-.
forcement.
Prior to the eighteenth amendment Of
the Constitution, the liquor traffic was a
source of tremendous revenue to the gov
eminent; subsequent to the amendment,
the government has expended millions
of dollars for its prohibition, but the traf-
fic continues.
We do not argue here for or against
the law. That is another question. But we
maintain that the law should either be
repealed or modified or else, like all
other laws, honestly and rigidly enforced.

weak, in sympathy with lower quo
tations at Liverpool and the break
in foreign exchange. but prices adj
vanced sharply later on short COW

At the finish wheat was easier

A partial lifting of the embargo

in the selling toward the finish in
wheat. Reports regarding the

busy with the months bills and accounts
when bright-faced, starry-eyed lad of
twelve rushed in and impetuously an
nounced: Say, pa, this is your birthday;
you are fifty-five years old and / am 60
ing to give you fifty-five kisses, one for

his word when exclaimed, ooh, Andrew

lence attracted my attention, and, look
ing up, saw his big blue eyes filled with
tears and apologetically said, "You can
finish tomorrow" He made no reply,
but was unable to conceal his disappoint-
menf, his face wearing a grieved ex-
preston as he quietly walked away.
The same evening | said, Come and
finish the kisses now, Andrew, but he
did not respond to the invitation.
Two months later, in consequence of
an accident, the waves of the Fox River
closed over his body, and we carried him
away to sleep near the village where he
loved to spend his summer vacations.
The robins note was never sweeter
than his voice, and the turtle doves that
COO to their nestlings where he sleeps
