president, and also for the indigna-
ton manifested against his slayers
by his close friends. But there are
some very wild and reckless charges
being placed against Ambassador Will
son through the medium of a certain
section Of the yellow press" In
due time, most likely, it will be de
MED" that the charges we're ever
made, as Secretary Of State Bryan
has categoricaliy denied that they
have been officially filed with his de.
partment.
Most Of these charges fall of their
own weight. They make Ambassador
Wilson an alder and abettor in one
OF the foulest crimes of the century.
There is no conceivable combination
Of circumstances which would place
it within the power Of one ambassa-
dor to say the word that would de-
eide the fate of a deposed president
Of the Mexican republic, even if there
was any sane reason for believing
that he would not say the merciful
word If the opportunity was afforded.
Nothing whatever was to be gained
by sacrificing Madevo to the present
regime, any more than by the &C.
rifice of Diaz or the collapse of the
Huerta administration. 1t has been
the united testimony of Americans
III position to know the facts that
Mr.. Wilson has conducted the coun.
try's affairs with signal ability and,
impartiality, throwing such influence
as was his to the side of justice and
not taking any part whatever in the
political intrigues and coups d'etht
Of the contending factions. That he
should have deliberately. betEayed- Nh
dero is utterly impossible, even had
he desired to do SO. If the Madorp-
lists themselves, and especially the
members Of Madero's immediate fam
lily really believe what they are re-
ported to have charged they evident
~ have been misled.
1t is not at all certain that they
ever made these charges, for one de-
NAL after another follows the publ
cation of the yellow" stories. The
strong probability is that the accusa
tons are inspired by political influ-
cAceS interested in discrediting Mr..
Wilson with the administration and
with the American people. For the
former there seems to be no real ex-
case, for his early retirement is a DO.
litical certainty. The people will not
be induced to believe him guilty of
a heinous crime without much strong
err proof tllan has yet been presented.

Burt Thurston, deputy in the office

STORIES OF SHERIDAN.
The Great Writer Had a Hard Time
Dodaing His Creditors.

Like many a brilliant man before
and since his, time, Richard Brinsley
Sheridan had a habit Of resting on his
oars a bit too long when he thought
himself tired. Then. finding himself
short of money, he would borrow. This
habit increased with his years, and,
moreover, his efforts to discharge his
obligations grew less and less. His
reputation at last was such that trades
men demanded cash on delivery.
Benjamin Robert Hayden, who was
himself woefully addicted to the same
bad habit, tells with evident glee two
stories Of his fellow sufferer. ~
A butcher Il day brought a leg OF
mutton to Sneridan's house. The cook
took it, put it into the kettle, and went
upstairs for the money. AS she stayed
away some time, the man entered the
kitchen, took off the cover of the
kettle. fished out the joint and walked
off with it.
But the laugh was not always on
Sheridan. 4 creditor whom he had
successfully avoided for some time
came plump upon him as he emerged
from Pail Mall. There was no posi-.
bility Of lodging, but Sheridan did not
lose his presence Of mind.
"Oh," said he, "that's a beautiful
mare you're on!'
"D'ye think so"
"Yes, indeed. How does she trot?"
The creditor was pleased-even fiat
tered. He told Sheridan he should see
and Immediately urged the mare to do
her prettiest. But long before the
anima!'s best pace was reached, Sher'
idan had turned again into Pail Mali
and was lost in the crowd.-Exchange,

action was taken regarding the system
to be installed. The members Of the
commission have decided to take a
trip over the Great Northern about
the first of May to look over a num-
Der of places where there are COM

a number of places where the people
have petitioned for agents, crossings.

things and all of these matters will
be cleaned up on that trip. 1t is en-
pected that the trip will take about
two weeks, but the places where stops

for everyone interested to have a

THEY CAN'T SEE JOKES IN ENG.
D.. LAND.

Continuing and now fast-succeed-
ing Ares, explosions and other dis
%turbances of the peace in England, or
ground invariably found covered with
sutfragette literature, convey the i'm.
preston that women in England be-
lieve themselves deprived of their
natural rights. Such tactics cannot
fail to convey such an impression.
But they cannot prove the case as
clearly as does that Of one James
Wilks, an Englishman now in Jail be-
cause his wife, a suffragette, refuses
to pay her income tax. The case OF
James Wilks proves clearly enough
that married women in England are
deprived OF their natural right to 20
to Jail for penal offenses committed
by them.
British law moves in mysterious
ways its wonders to perform. Re-
fusing to regard Mrs. Wilks as a re.
sponsible person, although in receipt
of an income making her liable for
the payment of income taxes IT turns,
on her refusal to pay any taxes while
she is denied a voice in government,
to a husband who relies upon his
wife's income for his own support, as
a person responsible for the failure
OF. his wife as a taxpayer. Demand
having been made upon him for the
amount of the tax, his inability to pay
has resulted in his imprisonment,
while Mrs. Wilks, an irresponsible
person under British law in such a
case, remains at large. Resolutely
refusing to release him, through a
payment Of the tax, she may now be
%avenging him and herself by blowing
UP railway stations. setting fire to
schoolhouses, or pouring molasses in.
to mail boxes.
we can catch a very broad glimpse,
in the Wilks case, OF woman's real
status in England, under British law.
The right to go to Jail for ones own
offenses is a natural and inherent
right. The reason why it is so sell
dom asserted is that, ordinarily, the
responsible person, finding his re.
sponsibility recongnized and admit.
TED, is anxious to avoid it. If told he
was irresponsible, and that some re.
sponsible person must stand as his
hostage, ne would more often insist
upon his in%alienable rights. Mrs.
Wilks has been trying to break into
Jail in London. She has been insist
ing that it is she, and not her hus.
band, who is taxed and refuses to pay.
But while the government is forced to
admit that it is Mrs. Wilks who has
the money and whose name is carried
on the tax books, 1t. sticks to British
law and says, complacently, that, al.
though she has the money, and has
long paid the tax, she is an irrespon-
sible person, while MI. Wilks, who

NEATNEsS IN ATTIRE.
II Not Only impresses Others, but 10 a
Factor In Self Respect.

The fixed habit Of presenting always
a neat and clcanly appearance to the
world is sure of q double reward. 1t
not only creates a favorable impress
sion. but begets a sustaining self re-
spect. 1t is scarcely reasonable Of a
man who does not respect himself to
look for much consideration from
others. 1t is not the cost of clothing,
but the scrupulous care Of it that
counts. The man Of slender mean
should be neither "toppy" nor Sloppy"
but always tidy and neat in his attire,
seeing himself with the coidly critical
eye Of a possible employer to whom
an applicants dress may mean much
more than his address or politest de-
pertinent.
Style in writing. as defined by the
fastidious Chesterfield. is the dress Of
thoughts. SO the true style Of the aver
age mar may be correctly surmised
from the care he takes of his persona!
appearance. He needs not be 1inicky.
but should always be free of grease
spots and dust. He. should like his
bath even if it has to be taken by
means of a bucket. He should never
neglect to brush his hair. his shoes,
his teeth, his coat. trousers and hat.
If he can't afford a pressing iron he
should put coat and trousers under the
mattress and sleep upon them. IT
laundry is a serious item. he should
wash his own handkerchiefs. dry them
on the window panes and never by any
chance be seen with Il soiled; one
