The Magonista party is ever pres

The Magonista party is ever present
in Mexico and takes advantage of
every opportunity to get in its work
the red party. In Juarez, Tuesday
blue was sent to the border city with
a large bundle of the official organ
of the Magonista party, the 'Regenera-
cion" and distributed them freely
among the inhabitants of the city
The policemen at the commandments
were presented with the papers as were
members of the insurrecto army in
Juarez bbut they did not take its con-
tents seriously and the little occur
renee seemed to be more of a joke
among them than an attempt to revo-
lutionize the citizens.
Chief of police Pascual Arellano, of
Juarez, called the little senorita to his
office and had her explain the meaning
of the distribution of the papers, and
had her read the contents thereof to
him. He laughed at the roastings of
the red Magon, and let the Mexican
maid proceed with her duties, as Mex
leo is now free and the press is no
longer censored.
The attempts of the socialists to
turn the convictions of the police force
and the insurrecto forces in Juarez by
giving them socialistic literature to
read, has no effect on the men of that
city as they now have their own free
government and are thoroughly salts
fled with 1t, and the ratings in the
Magon paper against the Maderista
government are taken as a joke by his
staunch followers Of the border city.

A Southern Woman.
From a Mexican Woman.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
In reply to a letter of July Z. which
appeared in your paper signed "A
Southern Woman" I wish to state that
7 think she was wholly unwarrantea
"a making the wholesale attack on the
Mexican women which she did. Tt is an
easy matter TO find fault but, before
we express our findings, let US remem-
Der that 1t is written: Let him who is
without fault cast the first stone"
We live in a country made up Of all
classes and races Of people. We are
all striving for upbualding and pros
perity of the nation. We are all neces-
sary for its progress, and we all have
a right to live here SO long we obey
the laws and conduct ourselves in the
proper manner. And If there be "one"
or any to whom we are Objectionable,
and we materially interfere with their
peace OF mind, since they are in the
minority, 1t might be advisable for
them to move TO some other climate or
to provide for themselves a special car.
The evil instinct is not confined to
any one race or class, but we find good
and evil IN them all It IS not the
clothes or the complexion which makes
a woman pure and entitled to respect,
but it is the heart and character of
the woman herself. do not believe
that the American soldiers or the SOL
diers of any other nation have a right
to insult woman, be she Mexican,
American, or a woman of any other
nationality. And in conclusion might
refer the writer of the letter to the
words of the poet:
There is so much bad in the best of US,
And SO much good in the worst of US,
THAT it hardly behooves any of us.
To speak III of the rest of us"

Editor FL Paso Herald:
While we are On this street car ques-
ton it may not be amiss to say a few
words from a soldiers point of view. I
have no desire to enter the Mexican
Mothers" controversy, and will drop
that as settled, but what I do want to
discourse upon is this:
Many of our FL Paso women get on
the cars with the notion that they are
entitled to a seat; which they are, if
the seats are not already occupied
If a soldier gets up and gives a wo-
man his seat, does he get a grateful
thank you? He is in nine cases out
of ten the unwilling witness of the up
turning OF a pretty but disdainful nose.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
I. too. have read both letters. the
Southern Woman's" and the Mexican
Mothers" 1 think the Southern Wo-
man perfectly right in the assertion she
makes, and, too, she did not class our
mothers and sisters in her letter which
was very sensible. For 1 have been in
FL Paso a few years myself and win
say that the conduct of the Mexican
women GENERALLY speaking) is a little
too much for an American women to
see and approve. OF course, those who
take their side must either have Next
can wives or husbands or associate
with them socially; if SUCH is the case
why they are congenial and would nat

may be laboring under a delusion in
considering ourselves gentlemen and

any woman to consider it her priYi-

Phillips, last year with the Montgomery

relationship had anything to do with
their present prowess.
In the 0. and p. League Phillips is at
tracing about as much attention as is
jackson in the major organization. Scouts
from Boston and st. Louis are said to
have looked him over. 1t Is known that

HARVARD AND YALE

American College Stars Ap-

LONDON, July 4.-The Harvard and
Yale athletes who will meet the best men
of oxford and Cambridge in the inter
national collegiate meet at the Queen 8
Club grounds July IL reached London
last evening. They will go into strict
training Immediately.
The passage across the ocean on the
Vaderand was enjoyable in every way, a
party of American schoolgirls and the
athletes making the voyage a very jolly
one. The men followed the usual rules
of training on the way over, but were
unable to do any but the lightest work
which consisted almost entirely in jog
ging around the decks. None OF the ath-
letes had days illness. and from their
appearance they are as fit as on the day
they sailed, and are confident Of winning
a majority of the events. although they
are a little anxious as to the effect the
change of climate will have.
The Yale and Harvard men were eager
to know the results of the London meet
Saturday last. and we're not disappointed
when they learned what their English
competitors had done.
