cREEL is A BORN DIPLOMAT.
Washington Regrets Departure of POP
ular Mexican Ambassador.

The long expected has finally hap
pened, and Ambassador Creel has
been recalled, bit of news that is
not pleasant to chronicle, for since
Mr. Romero's time no one has been
accredited to this capital from cur
neighboring republic in the south who
could approach in ability and pop
ularity the retiring ambassador. The
reason for his recall is simple and log
ical-he is more needed at home. And
now that the chief object of his mis-
sion IS accomplished, the cementing
Of friendship between the fiery little
republics of Central America and the
insuring of peace there, there is no
reason, save a sentimental one, for his
remaining here, especially as affairs
IN Mexico need her wisest and most
astute statesmen for their conduct.
It is pleasant 10 think that Mr..
CreeTs success in iffe-for he is
self-made man, the architect OF his
own fortune-is due in part at least,
TO the fact that he IS of American
parentage, his father, who bore the
good old name of Reuben, having
been a native of Kentucky, but the
son was born in Mexico, and has
made his career there. Beginning at
the very bottom OF the ladder as
small merchant, he has been school
teacher. newspaper man, miner farm
er. railway official. financier banker,
politician. diplomatist-in fact, he has
been real jack of all trades; and
that he has been good at all is doubt
less due to that shrewd Yankee COM
mon sense that he inherited from his
father
Mr.. CreeIs interest in politics dates
back to the year of our centennial,
and since that he has been a power
ful factor in Mexico, holding every Of
fee in her gift, save only that of pres
ldeut. and it is not at all improbable
lin fact. his admirers insist that ii is
written on the cards-that when Pres
ident Diaz retires the present ambas-
sador to this country will succeed him.
No one would be better fitted for this
post. or better grace and dignity it;
and unless Mexico wishes to lose
all the prestige she has gained since
Diaz assumed the presidency. unless
she wants to take a backward step in
the wonderful progress she has made
in the last quarter of a century, it
behooves her to act wisely in Sc
ecting his successor.-Washing

can be claimed By old Missouri To
be sure, he was born in Kentucky,
but he was only year in age when
the family removed to historic How
ard county which, although now in
the center Of civilization, at that time
was exposed to savage beasts and In
dians.
Howard county In the '20s grew too
tame for him, and his apprenticeship
to a saddler David Workman, Ca good
name), waxed uninteresting. The call
of the wilder wilds was insistent. ard
when he was II he joined a Santa Fe
caravan. He already was an excellent
shot, a proficient hunter and a strong,
alert, steadfast youth
In November, 1926, he turned up at
Fernandez de Taos, now of north.
eastern New Mexico, then of Mexico
itself Here today are to be found
many traces of him, for Taos was his
rendezvous and home through 40
years. AT Taos he and his wife are
buried.

The doings of kit Carson after
his arrival in what is now New Mex

embodied in print But unfortunately
his boyhood in Howard county seems
vague. 1t is to be hoped that the right
effort will result in more information
concerning this not unimportant pc
riod of his life-the crucial period real

perils and vicissitudes and lore of
frontier life and he extended his To-
Gale, according to hazy report by
hunting buffalo with the Sioux His
knowledge of the Sioux tongue after
ward stood him in good stead.
He is a character of whom Missouri
may be proud. His honors apparently
are untarnished by the vices so prev
alent IN his rough and ready day.

Worry.

One who could rid the world OF wor-

the race than all of the inventors and
discoverers that ever lived.
We Americans pity ignorant savages
who live in terror of their cruel gods,
their demons which keep them in alb
ject slavery, but we ourselves are the
slaves of a demon which blasts our
hopes, blights our happiness, casts
its hideous shadow across all our
pleasures, destroys our sleep, mars
health and keeps us in misery most Of
our lives.
This monster dogs us from the era

sion so sacred but it is there. I'm

funeral alike. 1t is at every reception
every banquet; it occupies a seat at
every table.
No human intellect can estimate the
unutterable havoc and ruin wrought
by worry. 1t has forced genius to do
the work of mediocrity; it has caused
more failures, more broken hearts,
more blasted hopes, than any other
one cause since the dawn of the world.

How One Congressman Came Very
Near Losing Out.

'Tis of singular joyousness-
nessness that Harry Maynard the
fat person who represents the
Second district Of Virginia in
the house OF representatives, has been
renominated. 'Tis Of particular joy
ousnessnessness, because, according TO
Mr. Maynard. he came near getting
the hook on account of a story pub
lished here in town just before con
gress adjourned that he had been seen
wearing a red vest.
1t seems ridiculous that so enlight-
ened a constituency as that of the Sec
ond district should paw the air and
stand on its hind legs at the mere
idea that its representative in con-
gress had buttoned himself into
loud waistcoat But according to re-
ports, that's about what happened.
Trouble was. Mr.. Maynard's record
was clean against him. Most of
the time he wears pepper and salt
suits with shoes and waistcoat and
ties of neutral hue. Down in his dis
trict they declare that never has he
put on frills and that he has been
just as much at home in a-well, most
anywhere as most anywhere else.
But last winter ne broke loose and
fioated down the main aisle of the
house chamber with his expanse-front
upholstered in crimson. And, as il
that wasn't enough, he switched to
.anstard-seed yellow a couple Of days
later
All this was chronicled in the Wash
ington papers and in due time got
down tidewater way. Then the cross

sible, is it conceivable that our rep
resentative in the congress OF the
United States, the man who has our
interests in care. should so far have
forgotten himself as to act in this un-
seemly manner?
Other comments were along the
same line, and Mr. Maynard was
mighty uncomfortable for awhile.

of scolding was dying away. and l
