storm that drove the United States
border guards to shelter.
A Daring Foray.
One OF the most daringly successful
crossings of armed insurrectos fol-
lowed a short time later, when "Dyna-
mite Slim" and SO followers got over
in safety near Fabens, 80 miles east
of FL Paso. They, had originally at.
tempted to cross at Polvo, n. NJ, west
of FL Pasos over a dozen miles, but
found too many United States soldiers,
SO they cut back across country, ia
the north OF Ell Paso. Marching across
the desert for a distance Of so miles,
counter any opposition and finally got
over the border in safety, almost fam
ished, but successful.
AutomobiIfst's Daring.
An Ell Paso automobilist showed his
nerve on another occasion, when he
crossed the river with Coloradoan
and a rapid fire gun near Fabens. on
their way to Ojiaaga. The automobilist
took the Coloradoan and his rapid fire
gun down the river and was to wait
at some convenient place until night
and let the man with the gun slip
across, but along in the afternoon, they
saw two horsemen coming in their di
rection on a dead run and concluded
that they were soldiers. The automo-
bilist put on all possible speed and
headed straight for the river. When he
struck it, the momentum of the car
carried the party over, but the water
had filled the carbureter and the ma
chine stalled on the opposite bank.
They were on Mexican SOIL, however.
The horsemen proved to be friendly
Mexicans and not soldiers. The Mex
leans attached ropes to their saddles
and pulled the machine back to Texas
soil, where repairs were made and the
return trip TO FL Paso resumed and
completed without further accident.

Beer and Wool.

The American Sheep Breeder
sets forth an interesting discov
lery when it says:
Al knollin has been doing a
little figuring and finds that the
people of Chicago are great con-
sumers of beer. The population
Of Chicago is two millions and a
half. The majority in every big
city are poor, and the poor drink
more beer than the rich. Mr..
Knollin finds that the consump-
ton of beer per capita during the
month of May was 80. 35, while
the consumption of wool per cap
ita was s 3-4 cents. People of
Chicago evidently like beer better
than wool.
At this rate the expenditure
for beer in twelve months would
amount to SIP. 20 while the ex-
penditure for wool reaches a lit
tie less than one dollar. This
shows what fearful tax the
Tariff is.

The Wiley Case.

Secretary Wilson's testimony,
guarded as it was, quite clearly
showed that he was in the scheme
to put a muzzle on Wiley. His
explanation of the phrase our
people" in one of his letters was
specious, but at least showed
that he was arrayed against
Wiley. His declaration that the
board of three was created be-
cause he objected to one man
power, showed that it was only
one mans power-Wiley She
objected to, because it was merely
a change from Wiley to McCabe
as the single power.
The investigating committee
will not be through in time to re-
port before the regular session.
In the meantime, the President
may feel that he must make a
decision on the recommendation
of the Personal Board and the
Attorney General, that Wiley be
dismissed. Yet it would not be
surprising if he ignored the mat
ter entirely, and if Secretary
Wilson quietly dropped ont of the
cabinet about the first of the
year.
With a new man at the head of
the department as free from the
old influences as the new Sec
retary ofthe Interior. there would
come an end to the blockade now
being maintained through
McCahe. The President made q
great mistake when he upheld
the reactionaries in the Ballinger
matter. He is not likely to re-
peat it.-St. Louis Star.

SIR WALTER SCOTS DOGS

One Of my pleasant recollections 10
that of seeing Sir Walter Scott out on
q stroll with his dogs: the scene b.
ing in the neighborhood of Abbots-
ford, in the summer Of 1894. while az
yet the gloom of misfortune had not
clouded the mind Of the great man.
There he was limping gaily along with
his pet companions amid the rural
scenes which he had tolled tn secure
and loved 80 dearly.
Scott's fondness for animals has
perhaps never been sufficiently
acknowledged. II was with him Z
kind OF second nature and appears to
have been implanted when As . child

his grandfather. Robert Scott. at San

The Hartman railroad system
is said to be dropping thousands
of employees from it's payrolls
to retrench it's expenses. This
means that many of these men,
their wives and their children
must pinch themselves in the
things that mean life and happi-
ness to also retrench expenses.
On the other hand this railroad
management is probably taking
care that there may be no re-
trenchment of dividends on it's
shares. That would be a calamity
the rich shareholders could not
possibly stand, since it might
lead to a curtailment of their ex-
penseS in steam yachts, red
automobiles, monkey dinners.
etc The poor can stand pinched
bellies, they are used to it; but
for the rich to have to undergo
pinched purses, that would in
deed be a woeful. Yet we are
perpetually trying to justify a
system that produces these con-
ditions. Someway and inevitably
society must support these thous-
and upon thousands of people
that the capitalistic system is
continually depriving of their
means of livelihood to protect
itself, though it constitutes only
very small part of the whole
mass of society. Cannot the
capitalistic system be said to
have broken down as the vehicle
for performing the worlds work
while these conditions remain?

that the congressional districts

the people of this State would

has refused to make the initiative

the matter of creating congress
sional districts it stands in the
way of further gerrymander of
the sixteen districts by a Demo-

he may seize them as sufficient

machine of their party to Oust
two of the Republican members
of the bench as well as the state
superintendent of schools, also a
Republican, under the contest

will do almost beyond doubt,
and it is just to correct such
partisan disregard for the will OF

This Sounds Socialistic,

A certain country ltown has
$4,000 population, is not the
county seat, is more than forty
miles from the nearest city, and
depends almost entirely upon
the neighboring farms for it's
prosperity. In appearance this
town differs little from a thousand
others of its class, except that
the three garages are surprise
and the lawns and houses might
be remembered as neater and
more trim than the ordinary.
Ask question and it leads you
far. You notice, perhaps, that
the press of the country news
paper is run by an electric motor.
The power and light plant is the
property of the town and pays a
revenue of $500 month into the
public treasury The heating
plant for downtown stores also
Is owned by the people. 1t utili-
ZeS the waste steam from the
power plant and cuts the mer-
chants fuel bills in half. A
country physicians son, who in
this little town now is completing
a $4,000 hospital for general
practice, has credit for the sug-
gestion that the steam be con-
nected with the water system so
that if the water pipes ever be-
come infected they may be ster-
ilized with live steam. To this
municipal light, water, and heat
ing plant is attached a private
ice factory which sells pure ice
made from sterilized water at As
cents a hundred pounds. A
wholesale ice cream factory
