THE CAMPAIGN.

The Morning Journal has openly adj
vocated the election of the Republican
state ticket 1t was prompted to 90 so
bv its belief in the superiority OF that
ticket over the Democratic ticket. The
Renublican ticket, taken all in all, Is Tar
above the average and its candidates,
by virtue of their records and their char
acter. are such as to commend them
selves to the support Of the people.
The candidates of both parties are
now engaged in an active campaign and
are presenting their issues to the voters
of the state. In making their choice the
people are also making the political bed
upon which they are to lie for the next
two years. 1t is the peoples inning. All
the candidates, regardless of the party
which they represent, are entitled to a
fair hearing upon which judgment is
to be rendered for or against them. If,
during the campaign, the voters will
realize that the greatest danger to their
political welfare is their own indiffer-
ence, which is the underlying cause Of
the political incompetency about which
they complain and will be guided by in
telligent consideration of the issues in
volved instead of indulging in personal
tiles and partisan opinion, the result will
be increased efficiency in the admins
tration of their affairs and less cause
for complaint.
A newspaper can only point the way.
There can be no better guidance for the
people in reaching a decision than the
presentation of the issues by the can
didates themselves. The mere state
ment of principles in party platform
is not in itself sufficient to convey an
adequate idea of the problems confront
ing the state. This can only be elected
by fair and open discussion. As the
campaign advances the Morning Journal
will discuss the issues and the qualifica-
tons of the candidates impartially in be-
half of what it believes to be the best
interests of the state. If the public
wants an efficient administration of its
affairs, the way to accomplish it is to
take an active interest in the selection
of its officials.

WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLE.

Unless it has something to do with air.
planes or motor cars or with the more
vigorous and spectacular games like
tennis or base ball, it is not likely that
the announcement of a coming national
tournament will get much attention from
us, And when We learn that the tourna-
ment in question is to decide the national
championship in horseshoe pitching we
are inclined to yield it even less than
passing notice.
In an age when we demand for diver
sion nothing short of headspins on the
wings of rushing airplane; when a
game of auto polo is an ordinary occur
renee only occasionally thrilling us, and
when a ball player has to be consistent
home run hitter, we are not likely to wax
enthusiastic over horseshoe pitching.
And yet, this ancient pastime is not
without its merits. More keenly than
ever should it today challenge our at
tention, for it goes back to time when
life was simpler. 1t carries us to remote
countrysides and lanes at a time when
the noise of the world was barely max
ing itself heard even in the great cities
Quiet days those! when men got their
exercise at their work, and didn't find
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1922-09-22

it necessary, as men do now, to work
at their play.
The game of horseshoes satisfied to
the full the simple desires of a simple
life 1t did not take years of most eX-
acting toll to perfect ones self in it.;
one improved with practice, of course
one may become exceedingly skilful at
it, but the nerve-racking apprenticeship
required for perfection in game like
tennis, for instance, is not needed to
enjoy pitching horseshoes.
1t recommends itself to the novice and
TO the master; to old and to young. 1t
stimulates an easy-going interest; its
lesurely pace permits of conversation
running into amiable channels of every
sort. 1t is associated not with thronging
multtudes ieering and opposing player
or luckless umpire but with individuals
engaged in talk the while the happy
hours go by.
AS such the game of horseshoes is a
restatement of view of life and man
ner of living now rapidly going from
among us. We are glad that a national
tournament is coming off in Iowa this
month. 1t will be in some way an as
surance that the good old times may be
brought back occasionally.

Chicago, Sept. 21.--Conflicting
reports as to the war outlook kept
wheat traders on edge today and
prevented any decisive change in
prices. The anarket closed unset

Corn finished &c to $c down,

At first the wheat market tended
downward, Liverpool and Winni-
peg quotations having declined,
and there being no actual fighting
reported from Constantinople.
Denials in the last few days that a
tremendous amount of Canadian
wheat had been purchased for
shipment to Europe had further
bearish influence. With no sign OF
any important new export business
being done, profit taking on the
part Of yesterdays buyers set in,
