Wild. Disorder Prevails.

They disch0ged their firearms into the
air; cheered for the rebel Zapata; impris-
oned their colonel and the chief Of police,
who was in hiding. and generally threw
the town into 2 state of anarchy.
The consul confirmed the press reports
as to the extent of the disorder, which
involved the stoppage of the train serv-
ice. the footing Of shops and homes. the
release of convicts, the destruction OF
bridges. and finally the shooting Of sew
eral persons, possibly including some
Americans. in a gambling house.
The encourag ing feature of the consul s
reports is that the occurrences were un-
marked by antiAmerican sentiment.
Beyond an admouition to the Ameri-
can consuls along the border to look after
the safety OF Americans, there is nothing
for the State Department to do at this
,uncIure put to await Developments.
Mexican troubles are by no means con-
fined to Juarez, according to State De-
partment advices, but are spread over q
vast extent of territory. A memorandum
Of official reports made public at the de-
partment today shows that no violation
Of the. United States neutrality laws has
been attempted as yet, and the cavalry is
patrolling the border. There are rumOrs
of an uprising at PaSo del NOrte.

Accepted as Indicating Unrest.

The mutinous outbreak among the Mex
lean troops at Juarez, while not REGARDED
as important in ITSELF is believed in
Washington to be indicative Of general
revival. outside Of the Mexican capital
OF the feeling Of unrest and the spirit Of
turbulence that existed in the days pre-
ceding the fall Of the Diaz administra-
ton. Omdals here have been closely
watching the various small and apparent
ly sporadic outbreaks of rebellious feel
ing at widely separated points in Mex
leo, and believe that q considerable pro-
portion Of the men who formed the revo-
lutionary army under Madero have found
it impossible to remain in peaceful pur-
suits, and are willing to avail Of any pre-
text to regain their old wild half-guerilfa
life.
1t appears from reports to the State De-
partment from its consular officers and to
the Department Of Justice from the secret
service men and legal officers on the bor
der that the trouble at Juarez grew out
of refusal Of some of the garrison to
submit to discharge from the military
service, which would involve their return
to the paths Of productive industry. Con-
sui Edwards, at Juarez, said these fed
eral rurales were responsible for the riot
at that town because Of their dissatisfac-
ton over an order to disarm about 40 per
cent of the garrison.

BONDS CONTRACTED FOR

 Approved Later

The bonds for the building of concrete sidewalks were awarded on a contract to Gunter & Alex ander, of Ft. Smith, Saturday by the committee who has charge of the work. The committee also awarded the contract for putting down the walks to Couch & Ken erdye, of Hoxie, after their bond had been approved.
 The work will be started within the next 30 days and 1t Is estlmat- ed they will be completed within 60 or 90 days from the time actual construction begins.
 After these walks are put in, 1t IS safe to say that they will en- nance the value of property along the streets traverSed at least twen- ty-fye or ffty~ per cent. The Journal predicts that 1t will only be a matter time until a more and better system of walks will be built along other streets that are badly in need of them.

PRESENT LAWS ARE IN
 CONFLICT WITH BIBLE  Was Never Intended by Creator That Land Should De Sold
 to Anyone Forever

Editor Newark Journal:
 If any person doubts or thinks that a law of limit is unjust or un- wise, he should read the twenty fifth chapter of Leviticus, espeei- ally verses 10, 23 and 31.
 Verse 10 says: And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year and pro- claim liberty throughout the land and unto all the inhabitants there of. It shall be a jubilee unto you and you shall return every man unto his family"
 Verse g: "The land shall not be sold forever, for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and so- journ with me"
 Verse 31: But the houses of the villages which have no walls around them shall be counted as the fields of the county. They may be redeemed and they shall go out in the jubilee. t"
 According to this law revealed to Moses by the Creator of land and the first owner of 1t, no man has a lawful title to land for more than fifty years and 1t then reverts back to the original owner. A man cannot lawfully convey more title than he has.
 A title obtained by force in any manner IS not q good title. To ignore almost a whole chapter means that we might as well ig- nore the whole of the Mosiac law.
 If this question should be passed upon by the supreme court of the United States, or any other coun- try that recognizes a Creator, the Bible and the Mosiae law as a cornerstone or foundation princi- pies in government and law-mak- ing, that court would have to say that the people have overstepped their intentions and authority in making laws that permit land to be sold, forever, or for longer than fifty years. The Creator, or first owner, gave us only that kind of a title and we cannot add to it un- less we ignore the Bible and the Mosiac law.
