N ostly Lies.

It seems strange that a certain class of border newspapers and border correspondents will persist in publishing and sending out for publication sensational articles about what they are pleased to call the revolution in Mexico. They do this knowing all the time that they are giving utterance to that which is not only untrue, but which is working much injury to the business interests of the whole international border,
 It would be just as reasonable to dignity one of those sporadic out breaks which occur in the mountain districts of Tennessee or Kentu- cky, as a revolution against the United States government as 1t IS to call the trouble in Mexico a re- volution. There is about as much probability of the United States government being overthrown by the mountaineers of Tennessee as it is that the Mexican government will be oyerthrown by the preda- tory bands which style themselves insurrectos or revolutionists.
 The day will come when 1t will be just as reprehensible to publish lie, and that is what three-fourths of the stuff printed about the trouble in Mexico is, as it is to tell one.-El Paso Business Farmer.

{ Bird of a Woman.
From Franklin CTexas) Fayorite.

Having four different surnames, and all these names of birds, is a distinction held by Mrs. Eliza beth Buzzard, of Paris, Ky. She began as Elizabeth Bird, and first left the home nest, marrying Bud Martin. When MT. Martin died, she married Edward Crow, farmer. When the time came to change nests, she allied herself with William Robin, and lived happily till the matri- monial season of Mrs. Robin again rolled along. Then David Buzzard, widower, more attractive person. ally and socially than his name would indicate, appeared, and Mrs. Robin became Mrs. Buzzard.
 Into the Buzzard roost Mrs. Buz- gard carried one little Martin, two little Crows and one little Robin. One little Buzzard was already there to welcome the other birds.

Then the great invasion of the
white men began. The lands that

the Creeks, were seized by the
government, and allotted in
sparse acres to Indians and white
settlers.

loves best. That is the plain and brutal
conclusion on the facts. But that it
must be confessed is not good reason
why public reference should be made
to those who are without fault.
Say what we will the saloon business
is not legitimate under state or social
statutes. Few men pursue it except
for the money there is in 1t and of the
few who find it congenial, the less said
the better. 1t is q business which can
offer but one excuse the money in it,"
And as to the money: How many
saloon keepers get wealthy? Man for
man in legitimate and illegitimate TRAIT
fic which dies rich and respected the
liquor retailer or the man who seeks
wealth along the path Of good repute?
Taken two men of equal intelligence,
of mutual nationality and with equal
desire to thrive, put one in any leEiti-
mate business from junk to jewelry
and the other in the saloon bust
ness in the same city and which
will he able to buy and sell the other
when they have come to their fiftieth
year? Does the man who pursues the
liquor traffic sell his talent and labor
in the better market? Does he get
value received for all he and his sacri-
flee?
But God bless the good women who
carry their tenderness out to the world
whether their husbands arep reachers
or saioonists And God bless the little
children and the decent bright girls
and boys upon whose lives the sha dow
rests of the business which has but
one argument, There's money in it."

TIE SALOON KEEPERS FAMILY.

In an article dealing with the condi-
ton in Atlantic, Iowa since that city
abolished the saloon which was recent
- published in the Times Republican
an unfortunate and somewhat unjust
reference was made TO the saloon
keepers family" The paragraph re-
ferred to follows:
Saloon men tell people that It vii,
Kill our town to close the saloons and
business men who would not permit
their wives to call upon d saloon mans
family will swallow the saloon mans
dope.
Now this IS ali true enough but the
T.-R is not casting sIurs or '.twitting
on facts" at any mans family. While
there Is nothing in truth to apologize
for there is cause for regret that the
paragraph should have appeared to
perhaps carry pain to those who
have not deserved hurt but sympathy
and complete courtesy. The Times
Republican IS sorry the para gra PHI
crept in. There are women among the
wives Of salOonsts whose neighborly
propinquity is blessing, whose tender
hearts stir them to samaritanism and
to sweet service when afniction cries
out for kindness and comfort and
neighborly aid. Such women are sacred
whatever may be said of the saloon
which is not their fault but their m is
fortune.
But the fact remains that the ban OF
the saloon reaches out and bars the
good women and the families of the sa-
loon from the social recognition they
deserve and which would otherwise be
freely offered. 1t is not the fault of
society primarily, for society is so con-
stituted that it deals with families
rather than with individuals. When
the situation is analysed fully the
fault lies in him who. for the pro-
fit of an ostracised business, is willing
to sell the social status of those he

BY HIS WORKS.

1t had been expected that Sena tor
Kenyon, the new senator from Iowa
would align himself with the progress
sives in their fight for committee rep
resentation but he said yesterday that
he would take no part in the contest
over committee. His decision in this
effect was induced by his late arrival.
But he counts himself a progressive IN
the matter of legislation, and probably
will be found voting with that wing OF
the party on most Misunderstanding
field (Mass) Republican.
This probably defines the attitude
of the new senator as well as ne could
define it himself.
His purpose will be to avoid fac
tional alignments At the same time
he will take an active part in pronot-
ing every measure that appeals 70 him
as for the public good-and with him
the public good Is not a convenient
phrase for concealing his real purposes
