After making a plea for moralization
of youth and copdemning sensational
journalism, the Archbishop closed as
follows: Americans, we love Amer1-
ca; we fain would make her great.
Our hearts prayer is: May she he i'm
mortal, to bless during the ages of our
sons and their sons, and those that
will be born of them; to bless during
the ages all people who may strive in
their own land for civil and political
liberty. Let us work for America, but
remembering that not in sciences and
arts, not in commerce and armies, must
her trust be, but in men. Nothing more
significant and more worthy of our heed
than the words of our own Emerson:
The true test of civilization is not the
causes, not the size of cities, not the
crops, but the kind of men the country
turns "
The other speakers were Judge w.
Cowles, ex-President of the chamber,
and President c. t. Thwung of West
ern Reserve University. Professor
Thwung spoke of The. Coming Cen
tury," and held that the development
of the next century would be mainly
along sociological lines.

EDITOR SEHORN.
Makes Pressing Appeal to be Locked
Up at San Quentin.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-W. A.
Sehorn, editor of the Willows Jour
nal" Glenn County, made a pressing
appeal to-day at San Quentin to be
locked up for eight years for man
slaughter.
Il have no warrant for your commit
ment," said Warden Hale, and must
refuse your request"
Then 1 shall stay around here until 1
am locked up was the reply.
Sehorn waited at the prison till late
in the evening, hoping he would not
have to spend another day outside the
walls. At last he went to the hotel
near the prison gates, there to remain
until necessary papers for his incarcer-
alton are furnished.
Il have been found guilty of man
slaughter" Sehorn explained and as
the Supreme Court has affirmed the de-
cision of the Glenn County court
FASTENED here to surrender myself. My
first obligation is to my bondsmen,
those good friends of mine who stood
by me in my hour of trial. / want to
release them, so they may not feel I'M
easy about me- That is the reason 1
! desire to begin to serve my sentence.
1t may look very strange my trying to
break into Jail, but L realize that there
are eight long years before me within
San Quentin walls and I'm eager to be-
| gin at once to serve my time. 1t would
look more natural for a man to stave
1t off as long as possible, but in my case
L can have no peace of mind till the
punishment begins"
! SehOrn was convicted of shooting and
killing DR.. j. e. Putnam, a drggist, at
| Willows, two years since. Sehorn still
maintains that he shot in self defense,
or rather with a strong conviction that
he was defending his own life in shoot
| ing. Twice the jury disagreed. On the
third trial Sehorn was found guilty of
manslaughter, and sentenced to eight
years imprisonment. Last Monday the
! judgment was affirmed by the Supreme
/ Court.

The New Woman Very Old.

When our new woman is not pro-
posing to herself and her readers re-
version to the ancient system of poly
andry Con which consult McLennan,
Westermarck, Morgan, and Bachofen),
she is apt to disdain and shrink from
the atrocious and oppressive male sex.
She is not so new but that Mrs. Mary
Astell was before her, in 1909 Mrs.
Mary proposed a sort Of female col
lege. in which ladies nauseat ting the
parade of the world might find happy
retirement" Queen Anne meant TO en-
dow this establishment but Bishop
Burnet persuaded her that it savored
of Popery. Sir Walter Scott (who had
nothing new about him) speaks of Mrs.
Mary as a Precieuse, who is anxious to

has fixed for the employments and
studies of the two sexes. Swift laughed

with such virtuous freedom that 1 could

the unprincipled Poquelin. For Moliere,
too, had nothing new about him; he
laughed at these original delicacies of
sentiment.
The new young lady in society is re-
marked for the generous breadth of her
language and the large frolic of her
wit. But, alas! even this is not so very
new. In the correspondence of Lady

Ell DORADO CANYON (Nev), May
ian Indian called Ahvote shot and
killed two teamsters of the Northwest
ern Mining Company named Lee Fran
zen and Ben Jones, on the ore road be-
tween the mines and the mills this af-
ternoon, and then went into the cabin
of Christopher Nelson, prospector,
and killed him also.
The teamsters left the mines this af-
ternOon on the down trip, but did not
arrive at the mill on time. The mama
ger, Charles Gracey, supposing they had
broken down. did not suspect anything
out of the way until an Indian came to
the office about 6 p. M and reported
AhVote had taken a gun, and might
kill the teamsters About six miles up
the canyon the latter found the teams
standing quietly, while the bodies of
the teamsters lay on the ground near
their wagons. He at once returned and
warned the people at the mill.
A. H. Gracey, the foreman, drove ten
men in a light wagon to the scene of
the shooting, and brought the bodies
down to the mill. Franzen had several
bullet holes in his body, and Jones one
just below the heart. A party went up
to Nelson's cabin early this morning,
and found him dead in his bed.
A Chinaman just arrived reports that
Charley Monaghan, who lived along
the banks of the river, was also shot
dead in bed. 1t is feared that the In
dian has several more victims who live
alone on the route he probably took af-
ter killing the teamsterS.

College BUSHES Condemned.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 10.
The class of 1900 to-day adopted reso-
lutions condemning the annual Fresh
men-SophomOre rush as a barbarous
custom, unworthy of a place in a pro-
gressive university. Heretofore from
one to three "rushes" occurred at Stan
ford during the college year, all of which
were hotly contested. Having won it's
rush this year, the Freshmen class was
in the position to discontinue the Gus
tom in the future. The action meets
with the approval of the Faculty and
student body at large.

THE EDDY SUGAR FACTORY.

The Eddy sugar beet factory has cost
about 100000 Friends of the enter
prise favor exempting it from taxation
for a certain number of years.-Albu-
querque Citizen.
The SD legislatively assembly can do
no more timely or wise thing than to
pass an act exempting that factory from
taxation for the next six years. That
factory is the pioneer one in the territory
and it's erection and operation has dem
onstrated that New Mexico is one of the
finest sections on Gods green earth for
the growing of sugar beets and for the
manufacture of beet sugar. 1t took pluck,
energy and good deal of hard work to
raise the necessary funds, very large
sum, amounting to over 100000, for the
erection and construction of the factory
and the increase in values in real estate
and the increase in population in Eddy
and Chaves counties, brought about di-
rectly and indirectly by the establish
ment of that factory in Eddy, are very
great and very beneficial. Hence il is
but just and proper that the pioneer con-
Germ of the kind should be classed with
new factories hereafter to be established
and should be cared for by law. The
people of the territory, by an overwhelm-
ing majority, will approve such action
by the assembly and it can not be made
too favorable.

HONOR THE BRAVE.

The bill which has recently passed The
house of representatives providing that
officers of the army to whom medals OF
honor have been awarded, shall have the
letters M. II. set opposite their names
upon each published register of the army,
is but tardy recognition of our military
heroes. Why not 60 further and provide
the same recognition of our national
decoration as is shown in foreign armies?
When the ribbon or rosette of the Legion
of Honor appears in France, the sentry or
guard presents arms. So with the Vic
toria Cross in England. The letters V.
G. after the name of British officer or
soldier is the proudest distinction that a
subject of the queen can enjoy. The
medal of honor is our Victoria Cross
our Legion of Honor. There is strong
disposition in this country to scott at
such things as the toys of effete mon
archies-the playthings and baubles of
court favorltes and decorated dudes. This
is because of the second rate place as
signed to the military by our constitution
and the small part which this department.
of the government plays in our national
life. But surely we can not &c TO much
to honor the brave-those heroes who
fecsi the dangers and privations of war
at their country's call.

THE LEADvILLE STRIKE.

The recent Leadvllle strike cost the
state of Colorado for pay and expenses
of the militia stationed at Leadville $780,
600. The militia was there to keep the
peace, preserve order and protect pri-
vate property. The strike itself was in1-
quitous and frivolous in it's inception,
without lust cause and brought about by
selfish and wicked agitators. But never
theess, it lasted several months, injured
the city of Leadville and the state OF
Colorado greatly and cost the state, in ad-
dition, cool $25o,oOo of the tax payers
money. Verify it is not always the cap
italist who is to be blamed in strike mat
tiers in this great and glorious country of
