Fall of Vera Cruz.

Mexico City, May 17.-Ignorant OF
the fact that general armistice was
about to be signed, the rebels who

were joined in their demand 0y the
marines on the Mexican guuhoat
Bravo, according to an unconfiTmed
private message received here to-

dition that the federal prisoners in
San Juan de Ulua and the city pris-

"SMALL-HEADED" MEN

President Taft, in an address before
an audience at the Jewish Temple IN
| Washington "A few nights ago took oc
casion to take potshot at the Small
headed" men in clubs who display
their greatness by blackballing widely
known men proposed for membership
Mr.. Taft should have gone further
and paid his respects to the small.
headed men in public office. These
men, termed "small-headed" by our
broad.smilng president, who take ad-
vantage of their preroGatlve to black
ball widely known" men, usually have
a bona fde reason for so doing and
in most instances they exercise that
right after carefully weighing the ap-
plicant's fitness for membership. The
average member of any secret society
rescnts the use of the blackball for
other than legitimate rcasons-but
sometimes the same fellow in the en-
ploy Of municipality forgets that he
is voting against the best interests of
his community and of his constituents
and influenced in it through his per
sonal dislike, perhaps for one indiyid-
ual citizen That kind OF man is
more to be feared than the Small
headed man in the lodge room.
II a man measures mp to the quail
dcatIons required to gain membership
in club or secret society he need
not fear the blackhan.
In this connection It is manifestly
evident that in the matter of the cleo
lion Of men to public office sometimes
there are too few of these same small
headed men who exercise the right
OF hackhall in the election booth.
Above all else broad minded men
should hc elected TO office-tho people

Need Of Ideals.

Mankind always needs ideals which

they cannot fail to see them clearly.
More than ever is thus true of today

tentimes hides the skies. Enthusiasm.
dreams, hopes are to be encouraged,
and belong to youth, which ever re-
news itself In warm hearts, although
reason is needed to cool and guide
them. The fact that We believe that
our ideal is beautiful and holy Is not
ground for forcing 1t on our mates.
To win success a man must not be a
pure ideallst, else in practical things
be will fail. but he must have ideals,
and he must obey them.--Atlantic.

ENTITLED TO HALF HOLIDAY.
