"ExhibitiOn' Is B|ood|ess and Lasts Fifteen Minutes

El Paso, February 7.-The first bat
 tie of Juarez between federal troops
 and insurrectos was exhibited here to-
 day. 'Exhibited" Is the proper word,
 The exhibition was viewed by 1000
 or more Fl Pasoans. who lined the bank of the Rio Grande on the American
 side about three miles west of this
 city.
 The exchange of missil,s occupied about 15 minutes during which about 200 shots were fred Tonight the fed : erals are behind the walls of the Ca thedral of Guadaloupe, the barracks and the bull ring at Juarez, across the river from here. OroZco remains in possession of the position, which he occupied at noon and held against the federal advance. He said in an inter- view with the Associated Press cor respondent that he intends to attack Juarez but will ah cit the arrival of
 General Blanco with $50 men. He stated
 he expected the latter at any moment. Orozcos present force in the vicin- ity of Juarez numb bers under 500 men probably $50. Of these 320 were with him in the skirmish this afternoon.
 The federal forces, by actual count, number 1S4-100 foot soldiers and S4
 mounted infantrymen They took with them no artillery and Orozco has none. The insurrecto leader and his men spent last night at a ranch known as Rancho Flores" usually inhabited by
 few horses and a herd of goats.

How Joy Riding is Killed.
It IS said that in ST.. Paul, Mir

It Is said that in st. Paul, Mimi,
brooms are responsible for the end
ing of "joy riding" The connection
between the two lies in the fact that
every joy rider arrested and convict
ed has had To- serve his sentence in
making SO many brooms. No dis
tinction on the ground Of social posi-
tion Is allowed. Patrician and plebian
are treated alike, and that Of course
comes harder on the patrician fresh
from his luxurious home and disdain
for mental work than it does upon
the plebian. And as it was generally
the patriclan and not the ple5ian that
went joy riding the broom making
bore especially hard upon him. But
the effect is remarkable and joy rid
ing in that sanity city is practically
dead. It would be we'll If OF er
cities, in which the JOY rider mains
and kills inoffensive people, would
adopt the same punishment. More
than that, it would be great bless
ing, one making for higher regard for
law, and a just penalty for men
"higher up" who go wrong, if thu
same equality of punishment seen in
the broom making penalty were
meted out 10 both rich and poor Of
tenders.

than were ever the tabled dragons.
More people are killed by dirt, in ore
form or another, than by railway
trains and automobiles. 10
The emphasis which the medical
world has come to lay upon sanitary
and aseptic conditions betoken oiia
of the longest strides civilization has
ever made. When the truth Of these
conditions Is fully realized: By cities
and individuals the term Of life will
be greatly heightened and the death
rate OF every community reduced.
Simple cleanliness is the first and
the safest nurse OF health. B. s.
The poisoning that sets in from
some particular or suddenly acquired
taint is in the long run no more de
structure than thatwhich is breathed
in or drunk in; slowly, day by day.
This is an extraordinary story from
Wilmington Of a little child goine
blind having wiped her eyes with an
unclean apron, but continually and
everywhere . children are losing
health and not infrequently life itself
from, causes just as simple though
not 80 unique. Accumulated dust,
neglected trash cans, unkept back

commonplace things come infection

Today, Just one year ago, the death
sngel visited our home, and bore
through the pearly gates, into the
presence Of God, the precious spirit
of our darling mother, Mary Vic
toria Cook. Dear mother, without
thy presence the world seems sad
and cheerless. We miss thee every
where; we miss thy loving care and
guidance; but we have the sweet
consolation that thou are home with
Jesus Home, sweet home, where
no temptation assails, and no sor--
row: disturbs thy sweet repose. Dear
mother, If we are faithful, we will
soon be reunited in that bright
home, where death is not Vnown, and
tears are never shed.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
They fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.
Tho thy darling form lies sleeping /.
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shalt have a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.

.yearEswas not confined to suicides.
Homicides were 1915 as compared
with s;163 in$190s. The causes OF
nearly asthousand Of these murders
are unknown, but in the twelve tab
ulated causes the number runs all the
way from quarrels WHICH were re-
sponsible for 45049 to criminal out
rage with sixteen victims.
1T IS not pleasant to contrast these
statistics with those OF most other
countries because they show this
country in "a rather unenviable light.
Not only is the total number of mur-
ders greater than that in any other
civilized country, which in itself is
not surprising considering our larger
population, but relatively, also, the
number is much larger. For this
various reasons may be assigned. 4
No doubt the polyglot character Of
our population has much to do with
that. More than any other country
our population Is a mixture Of 'vari-
Gus nations. Each year vast num-
bers Of people from every European
nation land on American soil, and
while much OF this immigration is
honest, Industrious and laW-abiding,
q good portion OF 1t Is the reverse.
That is not all. OF the undesira-
Bile element a large proportion. freed
from the espionage and restraint to
which Sit was subjected in it's own
countries, has q distorted idea Of lib
erty and in coming to this land mis-
takes liberty, for; license. Forty MUIR
ders by the Black Hand and fifteen
by Highbinders are partial confirm
alton OF hat fact. Unfortunately
color is given to that idea by the lax
enforcement OF law; SO marked in
most parts of the country.
ALLOWING for the two or three
states which have abolished capital
punishment It is unpleasantly sug
gestive that with nearly 5000 muir
ders in the; country there were but
1o4 legal executions. To what ex-
tent capital punishment may or may
not deter crime is question, but It
is no question that in those states
where It Is exercised but little more
than one murder in a hundred was
followed. by an execution. It points
to the fact, altogether too apparent,
that not only in the matter of homi-
cides but also in other crimes, justice
is 100 lax and law is broken with
well nigh impunity. e: e

Blease and the Negro.

Rev. Richard Carroll, who is one
of the best and most Intelligent ne
groes in South Carolina, does not be-
lieve that Gov. Blease really dislikes
the negro and that they have nothing
to fear at his hands. Here is what
Carol says about the matter in his
newspaper, the Ploughman:
Governor Blease must not forget
that the negro contributed much to-
wards making him Governor Of South
Carolina. Some Of the negroes voted
for him, and Governor Blease took
occasion in all his campaign speeches
to fight gro education and call ne
!groes bad names. ~
Such an appeal to prejudice OBJ
tanned for him many votes from a
certain. element Of white people, The
rlegro has certainly contributed much
towards making him Governor of
South Carolina, and he has used the
negro well. .!::,,i..z ;$:i IS
The colored people in Newberry
seem to think that Governor Blease Is
the best white man In South Caro-
lima. We wonder why? Were those
campaign speeches simply made to
catch votes? 1t.
The Governor speaks of the friend
ay manner: in which the colored peo-
pie of his home county speak of him.
why make some other white people
believe he Is a negro hater when at
heart he is not? If Governor; Blease
be himself, we fear ne is going to
be, too good to the negro; as we learn
that he is avery impulsive man, and
while. Mayor, OF Newberry the negroes
on the changing found him to be
their best friend. E..' IA.
A. certain negro presiding elder in
the "A. M. E. Church travelled more
than one hundred miles TO see Gov
ernor Blease inaugurated, and stated
to the writer; that Mr.. Blease would
prove to be the best Governor the
negroes ever had in this State; We
are no prophet, neither the son of a
prophet, but we predict that Governor
Blease will give white people much
more trouble than he will give ne
groes during his administration.

Many business men get slack after
the rush of the holiday season is over
and make no attempt to push trade.
They cease advertising, are indiffer-
ent to the appearance of their stores,
and in other ways show that they
are negligent, all of which is great
mistake. The wise merchant, o.
course, does not make that mistake.
On the contrary he pushes things.
By attractive, persistent advertising,
and by keeping up his stock Of goods
he pushes things, has steady bust
ness and reaps the advantage Of his
enterprise and good judgment.
