The two Mexican-Amerieans VINO
we're. caught in Matamoros yesterday
afternoon by the Mexican soldiers
and forced Vi ct armies to help in
building a levee to protect the town
from the river seem to feel abused,
They should console themselves with
the thought that, though they were
forced to work against their will
vet their work was for the noble
purpose of saving people of their
own blood from possible suffering
from the Hood. Instead of doing
the work grudgingly, at the point
of a gun, they should have done 1t
willingly and cheerfully- If our
neighbors "a 'lotro lado" need as
sistance in throwing up levees to
kaen out the encroaching waters OF
me Rio Bravo, let's all go across
Asnd lend hand 1t is silly to
,aise a fuss because two able-bod-
led men of Mexican descent were
.ompelled to throw up few shovels
of dirt to protect a Mexican city in
ubicb one of them had just placed
,wo of his children at school

a large quantity of clothing of every

will be several boxes of these
clothes Some were expressed this
afternoon, and the remainder viii

Has DR. Cook really discovered

now agitating geographers the world
ever. Since the explorer could not
bring back a chip off the pole or
any other visible proof of the fact
that he has actually touched the

States Must Be Bona Eide.
Other Items From Washington
Of Interest to Kansans.

Washington Dec. S-Tardy recognl-
ton of the New Years resolutions has
come from congress. but 1t is connned
as yet to the dry states. 1t gives
the man who depends upon the express
company for his red liquor" a. distinct
advantage over his competitor in the
resolution" business, but law experts
affirm that 1t is not in this respect class
legislation
Upon January 1, 1910. there will go
into effect a new criminal code. 1t was
passed upon by congress during a
stolen moment from the tariff consider
alton of the extra session, and legls-
lators who have not before had time to
read it are likely to have their atten-
ton called to its provisions in demand
for an explanation" which will make
the Nicaraguan crisis sound like
fairy tale.
1t puts a crimp in the practice of
shipping liquor &c, o. D" into prohloi-
of supply, which had been regarded as
inviolable.
There is a touch of deviltry in the
subtle rising to a climax which the
committee on the revision of the laws
has followed in shutting off the last re-
sort of the tippler mo railroad COM
pany or carrier says the code, shall
ship liquor into a prohibition state to
other than the bona fide consignee."
Violation of this section is punishable
by a nne OF $o,UUV ana Two years lHl-
prisonment, or both.
Not content with this restriction of
the supply the makers of the code have
set down that every package which
does not bear the name of the person to
whom it is shipped, the kind of liquor
which it contains, and the quantity.
upon the outside. may be seized and
condemned.
Here is the climax which. has made
the thirsty in the prohibition states
wonder if the code committee could
have been packed" against them. 1t
says that it shall be forbidden to COL
lect the purcha Sc price of liquor ship
ped as interstate commerce before, on,
Or after delivery"
If this latter provision has not killed
the c. o. D. package the trainers of the
code would like to have another oppor-
tunity further to amend it. In the
south. where the prohibition wave has
submerged several states bordering upon
others less afflicted in this regard, the
express business has been enormous. In
some cities it is represented that
quantities of packages of liquor would
be shipped to the agent and that the
man who wanted a quart for Sunday
night need not even exercise the FORE
thought which foretells Saturday
night thirst on Wednesday With al
