KIDNAPPED

 RETURNED

ElPaso, Tex, April 5--Evi- dently dismayed by the attitude of the Uuited States, word is received here today, stating that Roberts the American who was kidnapped by the Mexican authorities, early in the week,
 had been given a "trial'-just what for it were hard tosay- and had been acquitted, and is now OH his way to this city. Of course it is impossible to say just what indignates he has
 been subjected to, but his
 friends here are intending to see to it that full satisfaction is eXacted. For months the sentiment against Americans
 has been steadily growing fos tered by the government, until
 now it is absolutely unsafe for a lone American to cross the
 border. Conditions have reach
 ed such a pitch that almost ev- cry American employee on the
 Mexican railroads has been
 compelled to leave the country on account of the treatment ac-
 corded him by both govern
 ment and common people.

Daniel Webster
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

IN ANIEL WEBSTER died just
IsiXty years ago. When it be-
gan to be noised abroad that
the mighty man was no more,
deep gloom settled down upon the
country. and men looked at one an
other in mingled amazement and
fear, as though the very end of the
world was at hand
Webster was so colossal, aud the
constitution and the Union had be-
come so interpenetrated by his spir-
it that when he passed away it was
felt that the fabric of the govern
ment must so along with him.
Nor was the fear without a foun-
dation. History can and does re-
peat itself, and between the pass
ing of Webster and the taking away
Of Mirabeau there is an almost per-
feet historical resemblance. If
Mira beau could have lived it is be-
lieved that the terrors of the French
Revolution would have been avert
ed, and many feel that had Web
ster been spared for a few years
longer the Civil war would not
have come.
Be that as It may there is no
doubt about the fact that Web
ster'S was the one commanding
presence in the republic. 1t over
lowered everything, standing up
above the personalities Of other men
like a great mountain above the lit
tie hills about il.
1t was Webster who made us

feel, for the first time, that we were
Americans, and that every Ameri-
can was the brother Of every other
American.
The purpose of his almost super
human eloquence was always to
help his countrymen keep step to
the music of the Union. He loved
his country, and his whole coun-
try. y greater, tru ar patriot never
lived. To give up to party what
was meant for mankind" or to win
party or personal adva ntage at the
cost Of sectional i'll will was
thought that never once came near
the head or the heart of Daniel
Webster. Had the Thought been
suggested to him, he would have
spuned it with monster disdain.
Webster wanted to be president,
and might have been had he been
willing to be president of less than
the whole Of his country. Kut that
he would not be and he dice with
his great ambition unsatisfied
lie aleQ-and smaller meI ran
the ship of state upon the rocks
which came near splitting her for
ever aSundeT; but fortuna. elv
tthanks to the spirit of union which
Webster had engenderedl the rivpn
timbers were joined again. and with
the sentiment of nationality strong
in all hearts We are sailing on
ward toward the destiny of which
Webster dreamed.

Possibly the danger of the Third
Term has been overrated in this in
stance, but, as Thomas Jefferson
minated, there may come a time
when man, drunk on power, rid
ing on the whirlwind Of his ambi-
ton, will fill the Office twice and
thrice, and then decide to hold it
for life against all corners.
Even now thild-term and unlim-
ited-term advocates are agitating
the circumambient ether. AS a peo-
pie, We are tired of them.
Everything moves in circles, and
the man coming in the name of re-
form has, time and again in the
past. proved himself first the dem
agogue and then the tyrant.
SO now, while the subject is up.

troll, there is a very genuine demand

Copyright 1912. by American j urnal- Examiner

IN HERE was a pretty little story
told on the last page of a
metaphysical magazine re-
Gently and signed Selected"
Here is the story. and it is full
of meaning:
A tired woman with a big basket
entered a car.
She seemed very weary, and
staggered down the car to an empty
seat.
Then she sat down and lifted the
heavy basket to her lap.
She moved it from one knee to
the other to ease it's weight.
Finally nottingham reached
across the aisle and said to her:
Madam, if you will set the bas-
ket on the floor the car will carry
you both"
Take the story home.
Are you not carrying your basket
on your lap?
Are you not feeling it very heavy
and very hard to manage?
Then set it down on the floor OF
Gods Car.
There is power enough to carry
you both.
The basket may contain Disagree
able labor, innumerable worries and
all kinds of troubles.
Forget Your Tribulations.
That is your basket, and you are
given the work of getting it to your
destination.
BUT SET 1T DOWN on THE
FLOOR OF THE CAR WHICH IS
CARRYING YOU ALONG.
And take the journey as easily as
you can.
Forget about the weight Of the
basket while you may, and know it
will be carried for you
The same magazine has q month
ly motto.
This month it is:

LY TO THE INTEGRITY AND
POWER OF THE LAW OF THE
SPIRIT"
That is a great and glorious
thought to keep in mind.
No matter what your faith may
be or what your creed, hold to the
consciousness of the POWER or
THE LAW OF THE DIVINE
SPIRIT to bring things out for
your best good.
Do not be in a hurry to have it
manifested
It will prove itself when you are
ready.
There was a young girl who
longed and prayed for the infiu-

It seemed cruel and unkind Of
Providence to refuse this boon.
