with a 22-calibre rifle AID plenty of

sound brutal, but is no less brutal
than it is to keep a worthless car to

General Booth Tucker of the Saliva
tioa army is travelling in New Mexico
seeking a piece of land on which to
plant colony-the colonists to BE-
brought from the larger cities. Of
course these colonists at first may not
know how 20 plant oysters and sour
krOut but as they wander down by the
babbling brook they can watch the lit
tie humble bees making buns, the It
tie cowslids 'making cows, the honey
making hops. the pie melons making
pies and in this way they will become
farmers and afterwards prove them
selves an important factor in the indus
tries of the government There are one
or two newspaper reporters in El Paso
who should join the cOlony-they
would make first class farmers.
| Americans often make very embar-
RAISING error when talking to a Next
can of the higher C ass, but the latter
Is too polite and aHable to mention the
error or correct the thOughtless Amer
lean. The error is in saying to Mex
lean that so-apd-so is "Spanish or
Castillian gentleman" meaning OF
course a compliment, but instead Civ
ing an atfront. Mexican is a Next
can and he is proud of his native lar d
and don't like to be called Spaniard
or Castillian any more than an Ameri-
can lit es to be called an Englishman.
1t is true that the Spanish are proud
race, but they have not near as much
to be proud of as the Mexican. Spain
as a country is on the decline, while
: Mexico is on the asceudancy. Then
again the Mexican has much reason to
) be proud of his native country and an
ciept ancestry. When Cortez discov-
| cred Mexico he found a race there far
/ advanced in civilization. For three
) numbered years under Spanish rule this
race degeuerated, but as soon as the
yoke Of submission was thrown off the
reins of government fell into the hands
of the native Mexicans-the descend
ants of the Az'ecs, and since that time
| Mexico has made marvellous strides to
prosperity and civilization. and Is today
forging ahead fast to a prominent place
in the galaxy of nations. The ruling
powers in Mexico are all descended
from the Aztecs and the reforms and
progress that have been going on in
the southe 10 republic for the last fifty
wears all riginated with the descend
ants of MOntezuma. HidalgO, who
gave Mexico her Independence, was a
Spaniard, but Jnarez, the reformer,
and Diaz, the peace aker, are both
descendants Of the original race of
Mexico.

conference between these three gen

TIE Grant-Green controversy over
the distri button of public patronage in
Texas. still GOES merrily On and one
day Grant says he has everything
grabbed, while the next day Green
comes TO the front and says he will
dish out the patronage. The war be-
tween these two a5pIrants seems to be
holding back many appointments that
woult otherwise have been made long
ere this.
