The Right Kind

In it's unhappy plight, Mexico, of course, retains it's governmental ser vice a few men of the right stamp. Un- occasionally one of these is Gen. Els cudero, the little fighting governor of Lower California. Thus far he has been fortunate in keeping the lid tight upon that active province since his ap- pointment by Meexico's provisional president last August. Regardless of who the occupant of the presidents chair may be in the future no better man could be placed in command of Baja California that the active and courageous man of business and wide military experience who is now it's executive.

Governor Tries Honor
 Experiment Again

l
 Convict Ed Delaney, No. 31S7 on the books of the state prison at Florence, this morning left the Tempe Bridge construction camp at Tempe without guard, and started to Florence to re- port for an operation which will be made upon him in the prison hospital after his arrival An executive order was filed with the proper officer at the bridge which authorizes this ac- itno.
 Phoenix, Feb. 26.-The state or Ar izona thus saves a little over $6 eX- pense which otherwise would be paid the guard, and Governor Hunt makes his second test of his theory that men will be good and remain good if req sonable incentives are offered in the shape of higher standards of conduct. The governor killed two birds with one stone yesterday. Accompanied by Dr. G. w. Stephens, one of the asyl- um physicians, who is tending the sick at the Tempe camp, and Seth Moyle of New York, the latter a friend of Sir Gilbert Parker's, the governor went to the camp in an automobile on a tour of inspection On the way down and back he chatted with Dr. Ste phens regarding improvements in the asylum. At the camp while Dr. Stephens made an examination of De- laney and other men requiring atten- tion, the governor and MT. Moyle went through the stockade. There was no announcement of his official presence, and the men strolled along with no companion except Chauffeur Shea and local newspaper man.
 No. 3452, who in private life ans wers to the name of Wiggins, ex- emplified the mysteries of his fast drop, while No. 3469, Thompson, dem- onstrated how big league men handle difficult shoots and puzzling curves. They are members of the camp base ball team which a week ago trimmed a team from Phoenix, 13 to 3. They are thinking of putting up another game, but find it litle difficult to raise money to pay expenses when teams come down to visit them.
 The governor Inspected the bunk houses, the cooks quarters, the din ing room and the bath room Then 1fe stepped over to where Dr.Stephens had finished his examination of Ken nedy. The two officials conferred, then the governor spoke to Kennedy, who crossed to his side.
 'Kepnedy, you will report to the prison hospital at Florence tomorrow without a guard" said he. "The doc tor tells me you require an operation. I am putting you on your honor for the trip.'
 Kennedy's figure strengthened with military-like abruptness.
 ''This is Governor Hunt, Kennedy" said Dr. Stephens.
 Kennedy flashed a grateful look, and replied:
 "I'll be there, sir" said he.
 The other convicts looked on, silent ly, but when the governor and party turned away in their machine, the buzz of conversation evinced their viv- i'd interest in the novel procedure.
 Gov. Hunt entertained Dr. Stephens and MT. Moyle at luncheon at the Ford, on their return to Phoenix, and other projects which are to be taken up were discussed at considerable length. Another inspection of the state prisonw i'll soon be made for the | purpose of planning more radical in-

While the first body has only nominal duties, and is composed of the youth of the leading clerical socie- ty of Rome, the second is a real and proper organization of soldiers, with regular pay. whose objects are as inn portant as those of any other army in the world.

 A new commander has been ap- pointed. M. Rapon, a retired colonel of the Swiss army, who has immedi- ately started his work of reorganiza- tion. The obsolete halberd relic of medfaeval times, has been replaced by a powerful rife of Swiss make, suit able for any up-to-date European army. With such a modern weapon the Vati- can troops could no longer wear those picturesque uniforms, with yellow and black stripes, which rendered the Swiss Guard conspicuous at a great distance. AS the gray and Khaki" colors had been adopted by the Ital- ian army, and. therefore. could not be used, the new uniform has been cut from a dark blue material, almost black
 This uniform will be worn every day, but a special costume has been adopted for occasions of state cere- monies. It is entirely different from any style used at the Vatican till now, and is much like the costumes worn by the knights of the middle ages when crusaders were fashionable
 Up till now the Vatican army has been composed of a small number of men, but it is the intention of the new commander to bring the regular forces 10 about 500.

BETTER THAN MANY BROWNS
Right Kind of Smile Stands Always for the Best Things There Are

At the door of a hospital is the sign: If you cant smile don't go in There are smiles and smiles. but of course this means the smile which stands for the best things in life. not the kind that irritates, but the kind which cheers and inspires and stimu

Whoever con-. ceived of that sign was not far from being good physician. though he may have been serving as janitor Better than medicine is the smile of friend ship to those who are set apart by their infirmities.
