One Recommendation.

The members Of political party IN q
certain county were holding a conven
ton to nominate a candidate for treas
urer. The leading aspirant was a man
who had formerly been noted rs q
baseball player. He had made a grea,
record as a batsman. but was noto
riously slow in running bases. The
men who had placed him in nomina
ton made a speech eulogizing him as Q
man and a citizen. He was followed
by others in the same vein. and things
seemed to he going smoothly enough
when one Of the delegates rose and
said:
"Mr. Chairman. are good men SO
scarce that we have to choose base
ball player for the most important Of.
fee in the county. involving the han
ding Of hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars?"
"AIr. Chairman" replied tho original
mover. 1T Is true that the candidate I
have mentioned was a ball player. but
let me ask you. Mr.. Chairman. is there
n man here who ever knew him to
steal even n base?"

GRADUATES MONDAY
Eighty-three of the Original
l46 Future Generals to

West Point. June 1O.-Commence-
ment week begins Monday at the mil
itary academy. The class OF 1911,
which began four years ago with one
hundred and forty six. will graduate
eighty-three survivors, amid the
cheers of their fellow cadets, the
booming of the salutes, the congratu-
lations OF friends and relatives, and
the compliments of many of the fore
most men OF army and political life.
The vast war school has donned its
holiday attire. The young officers
who will face the vicissitudes of mill
tary life are the envy of their class
mates and. today, while the quiet OF
Sunday pervades the student body,
there is manifest an underlying note
Of excited anticipation that only
awaits the Formally of the exercises

trains will bring famous visitors from
all parts OF the United States to

Wednesday the remaining members
of the academy go into summer en-
campment and the graduating class
scatters to the four winds to enjoy
brief vacation before assuming the
arduous duties Uncle Sam will impose

None who has not traversed the
scholastic duties prescribed by army
regulations can understand the weight
of the victory won by these future war
heroes in their four year ioust with
the technical training through which
they have reached their sheep-skins.

association were conducted by the
government with view of having the
court impose jail sentences.
Mr.. Wickersham lays the blame en-.
tirely on the Sherman law for the
fact that judges have not imposed the
jail sentence. 1t says that upon con-
viction for directly restraining inter.
state trade, the sentence may be "im.
prisonment not exceeding one year. or
by both fine and Imprisonment at the
discretion Of the court"
According to some of the many
prominent attorneys who have been
engaged In these cases there is an
other reason for not imposing Jail
sentences. II Is that the court finds
great difhculty in fastening the re-
sponsibility on an individual connect
ed with a corporation. Such individ-
uals may simply be carrying out the
orders Of higher authority. and the
imposition Of jail sentence would
manifestly be improper and unjust.
Some managing officer for instance,
may be violating the Sherman anti.
trust law by obeying specific order
Of the board of directors.

The Evenings Hit.
The hit of the evening was an
anonymous poem by one Of the diners.
Tt follows:
Here In this lively border town far from
the eastern ken.
Where Mexican growls and grievances
make matter for our pens
Where black moustached muchachos
beside the river stalk;
But at the Mauser's spiteful crack most
always run and balk.
This bunch of gringo grafters that's
here to file the stuff.
For once forgetS the whole
thing; of war we've had enough.
No insurrecto has been asked to join
our humble spread.
No federal has been bid to help us
For once the noble press is free to
boldly speak its mind.
I'll tell you Of the Mexicans, judged by
a gringo mind
There is a noble country, lads, south of
the Rio Grande
It's made of rocks and dirt and mud,
and there is also sand
It's people eat frijoles. cooked with
chill; they are grand.
For every man, ten million sorrows live
in that happy land.
1 cannot tell how many ginks Porfirio
may have shot.
Yet of the ones who should be- killed
he somehow missed a lot
And now throughout the country. a
bunch do revolute
And talk about the rights of men
but very seldom shoot.
In battles. sieges. ambuscades, sur
prises, night attacks,
This war 1t sure is wonderful, If all we
hear are facts
And as to resurrectipns, the big bugs
on both sides !
Can beat common nine lived cat and
several more besides.
Here's to our neighbors of the south.
May Mars inspire their arms,
For if he doesn't, 1 fear they soon viii

The brotherhood of man sung TO La

W. w. Fisher, in charge Of the 1911

merce, reports that work is progress
ing well and that the publication will
soon be issued. He says:
About 100 pages Of illustrations and

gress of not only FL Paso, but the FL
Paso country, and it Is believed the re-
port will attract many thousands in
dollars and people to this section, as il
will have circulation in all the states

try.
Among the many interesting features
OF the report viii be an article entitled
History in Ell Paso.' by Gen. Arson
Mills, which will be illustrated with
engravings never before published
showing the original Ponce house and
the Grand Central hotel, formerly occu-
plying the site of the present Mills
building, which will be also shown in
