many Southerners, who regard Scotland

should flock into London, which is much

North Sea to Poland. and at later Pc
riod to Russia itself. Scots went as SOL
diers, they crowded in as traders for in
those days the sea offered greater facili-
ties than the road. and the path to tho
Baltic ports was easier and the welcome
greater than the highway that led to
England. Some of the descendants OF
these ventures still remain in the land
of their adoption, retaining their Scotch
surnamcs, but quite unable to read line
of Burns: and they are readily traced,
tor they usually carried with them a doe
ument, known as the birth brieve, de-
failing their origin, a duplicate OF which
was kept by the magistrates who granted
it, and is still to be found in what Is
known as the propnquity registers OF
Scotland.
The name of Peter the Painter" IS
equalcd in the first half of the eth cen-
tury by a Scotsman who entered the
Polish cavalry and who is constantly de-
scrbed in Scotch documents as Patrick
Gordon, alias "Steelhand." From tho

the Greats right-hand man. the Laird OF

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
For several years I have made FL
Pase my home and do not wish to be
considered kicker, but wish to here
with register a complaint against the
city's nocturnal Internal street sweep
ing machine. To take an evenings walk
or drive through the business district
after supper is to encounter one or
more OF the dust singers on every
corner Clean streets are a necessity
but the present method should be done
away with. or the hours for street
cleaning changed so. that one can en-
JOY a little fresh aiS while gazing in
the shop windows OF our great white
way.
What must be the condition of our
lungs after passing through these
whirlpoOls of filth?
We need a new sort Of street sweep
er; one that removes the dirt without
raising great clouds Of dust to settle
in few minutes on the same spot or
blow through the store doors and win
dows.
This matter needs serious attention
and the remedy is to remove the cause.

olutions that shall have ended in that
victory"
President Roosevelt said:
TT (the liquor traffic. tends to pro-
duce criminality in the population at
large and law breaking among the sa-
loon keepsrs themselves When the
liquor men are allowed to do as they
wish, they are sure to debauch, not
only the body social, but the body pub
lie as well. If the American people do
not control it. il will control them"
President Taft said:
Leave drink alone, absolutely, He
who drinks is deliberately disquaIi-
flying himself for advancement. Per-
sonally I refuse to take such risk. I
do not drink"
President jefferson said:
''The habit of using ardent spirits
by men in office has occasioned more
injury to the public and more trouble
to me than all other sources. And
were I to commence my administration
again the first question I would ask
respecting a candidate for office would
be: Does he use ardent spiritsg"
Emperor William, speaking to the
cadets at Flemsburg, Prussia, Nov. 81.
1910, counseled total abstinence and
said, 1.-THE nation which, in the future,
uses the smallest amount Of alcohol
will march at the head Of the column
on the fields OF art and war;
Won Moltke, the great German gen.
eral who conquered France, said, Ger
many has more to fear from her beer
than from all the armies of France"
No correct construction Of such Ian
guage car be made TO oppose prohibit
ton. Why was no mention made Of
president Hayes? He prohibited liquor
in the white house.
Questions los and 1o6 and answers
read:
"1O5. If vote were taken
amongst the governors Of the
states on the question Of state
wide prohibition, how would 1t re-
suit? Seven for prohibition, SO
against prohibition"
This answer is wrong, as were those
about the presidents. Governors Har--
ris Burke. Smith. Cutler, Fernald, Has
kel, Conner, Campbell, Noel, Broward
Dawson Buchte1, Han1ey Glenn, Stubs
and Cruce are publicly on record in IA
vor Of prohibition. It is insincere and
evasive to attempt distinction between
local option and state option in cues
tioning mans convictions about the
liquor traffic.
