LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
Shapiro Explains Itor of The Are-HeraId.

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid:
 Last Tuesdays issue of your paper con- tained a private communication written by myself to MT. D. B. Grace, praising an article on the question of direct election of United States senators by Mir. Emmet ONeai.
 MT. Grace kindly called my attention to this article a short time after I had the honor of being selected as q member of the Yale interdepartment debating team, and in reply to his reference wrote the letter alluded to. It is as self-evident as humps that it's publication, occurring several months after It's receipt, and dur ing Mir. O'Neal's candidacy for governor. was for political effect While I haven't the faintest idea thatAit will influence a single vote, I wish 1t understood that the letter was published without my sane ton. Furthermore, believe that Mir. H. 6. D. Mallory ia the logical candidate for governor. ISADORE SHAPIRO.

Wealth In Training. While the plan of putting aside a dollar each week will not of itself make you a man of wealth, 1t is nevertheless true that there is no better training for the young man or woman just form ing life habits.
 If carried on for several years, this plan of banking part of the earnings becomes an excel lent habit, for it means you have mastered your expenses and ex- penditures and are living on less than you earn.
 Any business man will tell yon the value of this habit as well as the value of having a reserve set aside for emergencies.
 With money in the bank there comes a feeling of Independence, life is the more enjoyable and your business success is not merely a possibility, but a prob ability.

Hidalgo issued an edict and attached grave
penalties for the offenders he was powerless
to prevent the excuses committed by the I'M

to the manufacture of cannon for his troops
and the minting of the silver bars, from the
many mines in that vicinity, which had been
captured in the city.
Meanwhile the government prepared to
combat the revolution and through the medi-
UNI of the church sought to gain control over
the minds of the lower classes, an edict of ex-
communication being issued by the the bishop
of Michoacan against Hdalgo, Allende and AL

minds of the people, Hdalgo published an an

On October 10 Hidalgo marched toward
Mexico City and was met at Las Cruces by
the royalist forces under command of Lieuten-

the insurgents and forced to cut his way
through the enemy's rear and retreat to Mex

in killed and wounded. and instead of advanc-

influenced in his decision by the news that
General Calleja had left San Luis Potosi with
reinforcements. The retreating insurgents

exclaimed: Gentlemen, we are lost; there is
now no other recourse but to attack the Span

were spent in vain discussion. Hidalgo
showed his greatness. He did not think of
flight, although on account of his sacred pro-
fession he could easily have found safety But
he preferred to fight for his principles and his

Hidalgo then, with his brother, Allende,

threatening the mayor with his pistol, demand

MARRIAGE $500 YEARS OLD

Most of us make the acquaintance of Egypt
in the splendidly dramatic story of Joseph and
his brethren, and come to look on Pharaoh
and his people gloomy and malign persecu-
tors, fit only to be swallowed up In the Red
waves, writes Charles Johnson in Har-
per's Weekly. Or we read of the graves and
sober monuments of the Nile valley, with
their perpetual reminders of death and the
kingdom of night, with the result that we are
hardly prepared to realize the gay and light
some side of ancient Egyptian life or to credit
the thought that these tomb builders could
ever break into a smile. But there was a
side of gayety and of charm, and just as we
are finding that so many of our deeper and
more philosophical thoughts go back to the
people of the Delta, so we are beginning to
discover the originals of all our Jokes In the

Not even Chicago or Reno can boast OF a
franker contract than that, and there is some
thing wonderfully naive in the idea of the
good lady Isis "discharging" her lord on the
ground that she hates him and loves another
better The sum she returns him. as part Of
