MEXICO MISSION
MRS. }. P. COOPER TO CARRY RE.
LIEF TO PEoNs IN DIAz's
CAPITAL.
pLANIsNON-sECTARIAN
WILL APPEAL TO DOMINANT
CHURCH AND BETTER CLASS
OF MExIcANs.

Denver-For the purpose of taking
up settlement work in Mexico City,
Mrs. j. b. Cooper. widow of the late
Governor Cooper. will leave Denver the
latter part OF this week and will go
direct to the Mexican capital. Accom-
panying her viii be Miss Lillian O'Neil.
whose work as one OF the visiting
nurses in Denver has gained her an
enviable reputation. Mrs. Cooper's
stay in Mexico will depend, she says,
upon the success which attends her eff
forts. She may make Mexico City her
permanent home. Her palatfal resi-
dence at 1900 Grant will be left in
charge Of her daughter. Mrs. Dwight
Ryland.
The primary object OF Mrs, Cooper's
plans is to relieve the conditions of the
poverty-stricken native OF Mexico.
With the aid of Miss O'Neil. she will
visit the sick and relieve their suffer-
ings. She says that on her visits to
Mexico she has found that the little
children are subject to blindness and
many forms of disease because of the
conditions under which they are
reared. She will attempt to change
these conditions In such a way as to
make 1t healthful and pleasant for chill
dren and parents.
1t is Mrs. Cooper's purpose to form
an association of the Spanish or native
born Mexlcans OF the capital. This
association, she hopes, will be strong
enough to maintain any work she un-
dertakes. II the better class of Mexi-
cans refuse to aid her in her work she
says she win appeal to the Americans.
and. failing to get proper response
from them. she will do what she can
without aid from any one. Mrs. Cooper
will make her work non-sectarian in
character and will not proselyte In any
way. She says she prefers to have
what aid the dominant church in Mexi-
leo can give her rather than attempt
to ALLEVIATE the Mexicans from their
faith.
First of all, she will teach the women
how to keep house. She will teach
the girls how to sew and cook and the
boys how to do useful manual labor

tuition reported will be investigated at

= Apropos of Prof. Darwin's theory as
Ito the intelligence of plants, the inter
esting circumstance is recalled that in
some lectures delivered by Prof. Jo-
siah Royce before class in metaphy-
sizes at Harvard dozen years ago, he
maintained sthat not only plants but
all forms of so-called inanimate nature
may have intelligence whereby they
communicate with each other. He
even went to the length of maintain.
Ing that we cannot logically say that
those intelligences are lower thar
those of the human mind. We are thus
again reminded that there is not
much that is new under the sun now
adays either in the domain of fact or
theory.

FoFestry and Fire.


Some reflections that were given
much publicity about the time tho
congress OF governors met last spring
now comes back to memory. bearing q
twisted look. We were all very virtu-
Gus just then. We had learned to our
surprise and horror that our progeni-
tors had been unpardonably reckless
in their dealings with the property
they should have left intact to u.s. We
scoided them vigorously because they
were within quarter Of century of
national badness. The ghosts Of
those pioneers must be holding their
sides when they look down on their
successors in this supposedly mex
haustible region Of natural affiuence
and behold US figuring up our fire
losses for this summer. The bureau
of forestry at Washington estimates
that the destruction in the forests SO
far would equal the cost Of a whole
fleet of first-class battleships. That
would probably amount to more than
si00,000.000. Either our forefathers
were not as extravagant as we have
been calling them. or we ourselves
have not profited by their example.
The offence is the more grievous on
our part since we realize how easily
our forests may be exhausted. Our
predecessors thought they would last
forever.-Detroit Free Press.

The victory put the wearers of the red

Stevens scored early in h first half,
when Dunn, on a delayed forward pass,
ran around East Oranges right end
and down through a broken field fifty
yards for q touchdown. Schultze kicked
q pretty goal. To this lead the Ho-
boken lads added two points in the
second half. After kicking off, Stevens
held East Orange In her own terri

bells pass for a punt and fell on the
ball back of his own goal line for a

Right after that East Orange took
a brace and just rushed the Stevens

in executing two forward passes, which
