UNFRIENDLY AND DANGEROUS

The offense of Huerta was one
against democracy in a faraway land
where democracy is a weak, crawling
infant. Peter of Servia was made to
feel that hetwas a pariahy and Great
Britain helped to convince him of
his condition Huerta is made to feel
that he is a patriotic Mexican, and

small army has been concentrated
against Mexico for a year. Two ad-
ministrations have prayed that they
might exercise the wise diplomacy
which would keep American soldiers
out of this southern country, knowing
the hateful and wasteful work which
might have to be done if insanity
south of the Rio Grande and folly
north of it prevailed for a single day.

EDITORS NOTE: Regarding the COM
ment made by Blackstone in reference to
the Mirror and the orchestra; the Mirror
is indeed sorry that anything has succeeded
in creeping into its columns which might be
held criticism of the orchestra. We are
quite sure the former editor had no such
idea when he penned the lines. We are
proud Of our band and orchestra and of
Prof. Burchard and are ready to champion
their interests at all times-you may depend
upon that.-Editor Mirror.

has come to realization Of the fact that he was
pursuing wrong course, He has tired Of his
hunt and the bounding of criminals. He has
the fruits of it ALL his conscience rebeled and in
stead of making and ferreting out evidence to send
to prison, he is devoting energy toward
freeing and putting them the right path toward
honest living.
The story is we'll written by Mr.. Macfarane and
we hope every reader of the Mirror Will take time
to read it all carefully. We hope those on the out
side may read it. Possibly some of you who have,
through desire for notoriety or misguided sense
of public duty helped to manufacture evidence to
send unfortunate fellow being to prison and
thus rob his family of his support and protection,
may be impressed by Mr. Olders reason for his
change of heart
Do his words strike home to you? Do they
enter YOUR heart like the sharp pronged end of a
molten rod of steel? Do they smite YOUR conscience
and bring to YOUR mind thoughts of dependent lit
tie who will spend this Christmas in sorrowful
solitude with father cheer comfort protect or
provide for them Santa Claus to bring gladness
to their young hearts? Will YOUR Christmas be as
merry--will the Christmas dinner taste quite SO
good when YOU consider the scene in another home
which YOU have helped make miserable?

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE

- HERE is something in the Christian Science
service that cannot help hut impress up
on the mind the thought, nay the knowl-
edge, that true faith brings health, hap
pness and even life itself. Whether it
is due to the unusuaness of it, the diff
ference between the mode of Worship
and that practiced in the orthodox
faiths, we cannot say, but there is
ii sense of restfulness and comfort in the
quiet, transformations method in which
these services conducted which is as
delightful it is indescribable 1t has
been pleasure to attend these SER
vices in the costly edifces of the faith in New York
Chicago ST. Louisan the mother church at Boston,
and at no time have them better or more i'm
pressvely conducted than by the ladies in our own
auditorium last Sunday.
Many of us may not be able now, to accept all
the doctrine OF Christian Science as being logical
but we cannot question the sincerity of those
who do, deny their faith in the allness
OF God or His power to mankind in this life
and that which is to come. We are indeed clad the
opportunity is afforded to attend these services
every two weeks and hope the inmates may con-
tnue to attend all religious services of whatever de-
nomination generously as they have in the past
1t will do you no harm. 1t cannot fail to do you

FEARLESS GOV. HATFIELD
PRAISES NEGRO PROGRESS

Charleston, W. Va, Sept. 30
Gov. Hatfield was principal speak
er at the unveiling of the bust of
Lincoln at the Colored Institute
Saturday. Gov. Hatfield said in
part:
For two hundered years your
race was subjected to the chains
of slavery and oppression. In this
period of time every human tie
that bound your people was des
troyed by the bloody, brutal hand
of avarice and greed. What
if the great emancipation
could look upon the wonderful
achievements that have been made
accomplished, by you as a peopllss
since his deliverence of your race
from the bonds of slavery placed
you as race in a position to con-
spire and aspire as ii free people
to the goal of achievements tc
which every human mind aspires
in this great world of human en-
deavor and energy.
Through the enuity Of this
noble character, Lincoln, upon
whose wonderful achievements
all nations look with wonder aud
admiration. you can assure your
boys and girls of a liberal educa'
tion and to them are the avenues
of every profes sion open. he
sponsible positions have been filled
by your people, and to the achieve
ments of the shining lights that
repr sent your lace in the Sc posi-.
tions you can point with pride and
al dmiration.
You can compare the past with
the present and look, [ am sure
with IA great deal of pride on the
changes that have been inaug urat-
ed in the past fifty years and the
wonderful strides that have been
made toward the education and up,
lifting of your people. Your ac,

Repres S. A. Roddenbery
of Georgia, one of the arch enc
mics of the Negro in Congress, is
dead, His remains have been in
TERED in the family plot at Thom-
asville, GA. Roddenbery belonged
to that class of Southern politi-
clans who, failing to attract public
attention as a statesman, makes
sensational utterances i'll the halls
of Congress against the Negro cit
liens. The only time Roddenbery
got his name in print was by ad-
vocatlng Jim Grow" cars for the
District of Columbia or some other
proposition equally as idiotic and
un-American. According to ply
siciaus, he talked himself to death.
AS nineteenth of what he had to
say in Congress was against the
Negro, his friends think the So
called Negro question proved his
undCing.
