FROM THE RABBI.

Cincinnati, o., July 80
Editor FL Paso Herald:
Now that the state wide prohibition
campaign is over, 1 hope that you will
grant me few lines in your paper
At the outset let me say that I am an
-prohibitionist. but 1 hold no brief
for the American saloon. believe
that 1t has been the cause Of great
deal Of harm and that it needs regu-
lation-stringent regulation. But !
know that temperance is not prohi-
bition and that the development Of the
CORNER will add to the strength of our
nation, the substitution of the latter,
even honestly enforced, will sap some
of our moral stamina.
But the matter that 1 wish to en-
phasize especially, even plead for it, Is
a ceasing Of useless agitation. 1t SIM
ply keeps us in q turmoil and no state
can do justice to its own DEVELOPMENT
when exercised over a question that
leads to as much fanaticism on the one
side as on the other. Now that the
election is past let US return to our
normal pursuits and strive for the
fullest development Of our mighty
more stringent regulation of the sa-
loon ard also an honest enforcement of
the laws now on our statute books
Let the communities that favor the IL
quor traffic have it, and those who op-
pose 1t, vote 1t out The vote cast
proves that some are just as anxious
to keep 1t as others are to keep 1t
out.
Above all, let US not cry out fraud in
the election. 1t is legally wrong to
send out poll tax receipts or vote nom
citizens, but 1t is just as wrong NOR
ally. II not legally, to march through
streets singing songs and doing other
things. with the hope of influencing
votes. AS a moral question the one
seems as long as the other broad
And believe we can even go further
than this. The very fact that the mat
ter was carried by a small majority,
proves that the state is not ready for
prohibition, and that it could not be
enforcedt Had the prohibitionists won
by the same majority 1 would still be
opposed to a constitutional amendment.
because I do not believe that 5000
should enforce law so dras-
tic that it upsets the conditions under
which people have always lived. Such
a question should not be settled for
the state by bare majority, but by
two-thirds vote.
But let me plead for peace at this
time and a return to our normal condi.
lions. Let us not continue the agita-
ton and let us allow each community
to decide what is best for that com

THE FASTER THE MUSIC
THE MORE CUSTOMERS EAT

In a certain FL Paso restaurant, the
proprietor has installed an automatic
piano, the idea being that customers
will be kept in a happy frame of mind
by the sweet music Lately, the pro-
prietor put on roll of music which
ground out slow. mournful tunes. A
customer would pensively balance a
piece of pie on a fork or sip water tc
the slow cadence of the music
Sales fell to almost nothing and the
proprietor was in despair. Suddenly a
great light dawned. He sent to the
piano company and ordered the fast
est liveliest tunes to be had The
faculties Of every customer are now
strained to the uttermost to keep time
white eating soup, with the music.
Sales have increased 100 percent and
the proprietor has set aside one hour
Of his time each day to interview au-
tomobile statesmen

THE DILEMMA.

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
was surprised when 1 read Ella P
Hausts letter in The Herald I
thought every right thinking person
classed the church element" and the
prohibition party as honorable people.
But she says they are using lying tao
ties, and doing the things that an
honorable man would shudder to even
think OF, much less put IL into effect.
What are the ministers OF the gos-
pei and the prohibition leaders going
to do? II they go to the saloons to
get the evidence themselves they are
called hypocrites and dishonorabfe men
and accused of using lying tactics to
accomplish their design: on the other
hand II they do not go they are ac-
cused OF being a set of towards, both
morally and physically, standing
around doing a lot OF talking and try
ing to shove. the job Of making the
saloonkeeper obey the law over the
shoulders OF the officers.
The officer who will break the law
and violate his oath Is ten times
meaner than the saloon man who
breaks the law. for we do not expect
anything better of a man who has be-
become so degenerated that he dabbles
in the liquor traffic for a living, but
we do expect better things from the
man the citizens put confidence in and
are willing to turn the destiny Of our
city in his hands by e1ecting him to
office, and when he holds up his RICH.
hand and says: 81 will do my whols
duty so help me Cod we expect him
to be honorable enough to do it.

GOOD ADVICE

From Douglas (Ariz) Dispatch.
The FL Paso Herald views with sat-
isfaction the fact that newspapers If
the southwest from time to time pub
lish items of this kind: John Thomp-
son has gone to Ell Paso on a business
trip; his wife went along to visit
friends" The Herald then remarks
that the way to build a town is to
pay attention not alone to the inhabit.
ants of a city but its visitors as well.
It's good advice, too.

WITH
The Exchanges
AN AUDIT NECESSARY,

From Santa Fe IN. Nd New Mexican.
The Ell Paso Herald insistently de-
mands an expert audit of the munich
pal accounts of the Pass City. Mayor
Arthur Seligman has asked for such
an audit by the territorial travelling
auditor for Santa Fe, but the law does
not provide for it. Such an audit, If
nothing else, would lead to the IL
stalation of modern system of ac-
counting and bookk eeping for the city
and the regular publication of a de-
tailed financial report.

A LITTLE LEAVEN

From Santa Fe IN NJ New Mexican.
The FL Paso Herald urges that the
Pass City park all of its residences
streets and avenues. Mayor Seligman
has recommended the parking of the
wider avenues and this should be done.
Wide and shady streets make the city
beautiful and there should be no lag
ging in the effort to widen such thor

A QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT.

TT HE address of Mr. T. Allen Hes before the
l. Social Service Club supplemented by his
statement printed in The Evening Journal yestcr-
day is interesting in many ways. 1t strikes Mr.
Hilles. as business man, that the present method
of collecting city taxes is entirely too expensive.
We may say, in passing that the observations by
Mr.. Hilles are worthy of serious consideration on
the part of the new charter commission.
Giving due weight TO Mr. Hess remarks about
the collection of city taxes, might it not also be
true that the cost of administration of the affairs
of the city and the county and the state for that
matter is entirely too heavy for the amount of
service rendered.
Mr Hilles opens the entire subject of govern
ment He looks at the question from the point
OF view of the business man and would apply
methods Of business. His point Of view is differ
ent from partisan political view.
According TO the latter, the idea is not so much
an economical administration Of the affairs OF the
city or state as it is the question Of providing
places and jobs for the job-hungry. AS many
Offices are created as the placid people will stand
for and the cost of the administration Of all at
fairs is made just as heavy the people will en-
dure without serious resistance If one party eX-
ceeds the limit of endurance as TO expense, it
is routed from Office, although this is sometimes
hard TO do, because party loyalty and fealty arc
still potent thing with which to blind voters as
to the real issue involved in good local or city
or state government.
In most conflicts between business methods and
political methods in the past the political methods
have won, but there are many indications that
they arc not always to win If dozen men like
Mr. T. Allen Hilles should get together and SER
ously and persstently consider the plain ques-
tions Of good government we think agitation
could be stirred up in Delaware such as would
materially reduce the cost of our government and
would give the people great deal more for their
money than they now get

THEIRS BUT TO DO AND EIE
BY john 5. hamilton.

A leading magazine is advertis-
ing and Offering prizes for heroines.
How absurd. Does the editor want
to bankrupt his organization. The
writer in his protest against the sug-
gestion contained in this ridiculous
oifer was about to say that he knew
millions Of heroines, but more modest
ly, he does say, knowing that humau
nature is the same among all the
readers Of the periodical spoken of.
that II it would undertake to give a
dollar apiece for heroines, nothing
but the resources Of a Rockefeller, a
Carnegie or a Morgan would begin to
stand the strain.
What is q h'rc'ne anyhow? Is it
merely q woman who will dash into n
burning building at the risk Of her life
TO save her offspring. The writer
has seen rats do as much OF a burn
ing dump. 1t is doubtful whether
there is any heroism, in it's real sense,
in the spectacular acts that are eX-
plotted as object lessons worthy OF
all praise and emulation. A man. who
was on General Hancocl1's staff, and
was near the latter during the battle
Of Gettysburg. and who vividly and
dramatically described the the actions
of "The Superb" on that day, for the
benefit of the writer, pretty nearly
convinced the latter that Hancock
was crazy for the time being, and was
hardly responsible for what he did do.
The writer once caught runaway
horse for which he received some
commepdation. but he was not the
least bit entitled to praise lie had
caught the horse before he knew what
he was doing, and after he had hold OF
the animal no was sorry that he did
catch him, but was afraid to let go
for fear he would be killed by the
wagon wheel before he touched the
ground. II is very likely that most
heroic deeds, as VIC understand them
arc similar to these here spoken
about.
There are heroic deeds, however,
and there are heroes and heroines
and so many Of them if the magazine
spoken of undertakes to pay for them
it is likely to get into trouble. They
arc to be found on every country lane
and in every city block. What is
every good mother but heroine? Is
she not giving her life for the benefit
of her kind? What If they do get
into the divorce courts occasionally
and what II they do kick against con
ditions some times? If no one had
ever fiinched on the line of battle
marching bravely up to the cannon's
mouth, that would entitle none to a
badge of honor The writer. while
writing. turns his eyes on block of
houses in poor section of the town
containing on its four sides perhaps
fifty homes. In the block there are
some twenty heroines who should be
entitled to a prize. They are giving
their lives for others and getting
nothing out of it but misery. They
may not be familiar with polite liter
ature or had the advantages afforded
by a dancing master, but they have
brave hearts, and they are in the fore
front Of the line Of battle, suffering
and bearing their burden. What II
they do complain sometimes? Does
Evening journal., 1911-12-23

any one believe that the historic
heroes did not stop to think and, #
they had time, also complain?
II is said that Lord Cardigan at the
battle of Balaklava. when. with his
immortal six hundred. he was ordered
to charge the Russian alone pulled
his hat down over his eyes and said
Here goes the last Of the Cardigaus."
II docs not require great imagina-
tion for one to conceive what Lord
Cardigan was thinking about when he
uttered these plaintive words. IT was
no reflection on tho courage of the
man that he said what he did and he
charged his not to reason why" into

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.

THE ruthless manner in which the great pow
4 ers of Europe deal with the little fellows is
we'll illustrated by Russias forcing the Persian
authorities TO dismiss Mr. Shuster the American
who was employed some time ago to untangle the
finances of the Persian government.
When Shuster took hold Persia was practically
Bankrupt just as Russia and England desired for
they have looked upon it with greedy eyes Shuster
applied scientific methods TO the finances of Persia
and soon the treasury of the Asiatic country had
balance instead of deficit The country seemed
10 be prospering with its parliament and new
Shah. Not long ago an attempt of the deposed
Shah to regain the throne was thwarted. Persia
would have reached fairly prosperous condition
if it we're not for the direct meddlng Of the Cars
government and the supposed indirect meddling
of England. But it not TO the advantage of
these nations to see Persia or any similar country
prosperous or wholly independent Such con-
dition might stir up independent thought in the
minds of Asatic other subjects of England
or of Russia and might prevent the financial ex-
plotation and squeezing of such subjects for the
benefit of the financial kings of England and
Russia. The dismissal of Shuster will be bitter
blow to Persia and will doubtless lead to internal
dissensions in the country, and then the big
power may seize the territory.
Mr.. Shuster has accumulated vast fund Of in
formation about the manner in which the Euro
pean diplomats and governments act in their re-
latons to less powerful countries And it is not
complimentary 10 them.
The Persian incident however shows how far
we are from realizing universal peace and inter-
national justice. The peace and arbitration move.
ment should have for is objects the protection Of
the little nations we'll as the prevention of wars
between the big ones, but so long as brute force
prevails the little nations have slight chance
