suIar agent at Torreon notified
Secretary Bryan today that he
would leave FL Paso at once for
Chihuahua, where he goes as the
special envoy Of the state depart
ment to protest, against harsh
treatment of Spanairds there by
General Villa. Because Of Caroth-
ers' long acquaintance with Viiia
1t was felt that he would have con-
siderable influence with the arebel
leaders. Later dispatches from
Consul Letcher at chihuahua
have been forwarded from FL Paso
to which point they were sent by
courier. Secretary Bryan's teIe-
graphic protest to Villa did not
get through because wires were
down.

consumed the morning and afternoon
of Tuesday, and the arguments took
place in the evening. Mr.. Starrett,
deputy prosecuting attorney of Boone
County, Mr.. Coal, prosecuting attor-
ney for Galloway County, and Mr. An
derson made able arguments for the
state. The arguments by the attor-
neys for the defense were at the same
time logical, convincing and elo-
quent. The court instructed the jury
in regard to the law in the case, eX-
planning that unlike most crimes,
ignorance of the law is in the case f
illegal voting an excuse.
1t was necessary for the prosecu-
ton to prove not only that Joyce had
voted Illegally but also that he had
knowingly, fraudulently and malic-
iously done so. The court ruled that
minors residence is that of his
parents, and that to establish a diff
ferent residence it is necessary for
him to live one year in the state and
sixty days in the county. Under
these Instructions it was plain that
Joyce had no legal right to vote
but it still rested with the jury to
determine whether he had voted in
good faith.
The Fulton Sun reported that
number of attorneys not connected
with the case were surprised that the
jury did not bring in an immediate
verdict of acquittal Evidently,
however, the discrepancies in his rec
ord had aroused in the minds of some
of the jurymen a question of his own
veracity, and in the absence of very
much corroborative evidence the re-
suit was hung jury. Judge Harris
held the Joyce jury to their delibera-
tions from Tuesday night, when the
case was given them. until Friday,

SELFHO0D.

Mans ingenuity has been directed
largely TO devising means of tighten
ing the days task, of taking the
drudgery out OF creative manual and
brain labor. We have worked in or
der to make work less difficult. So
a touch on an electric button will
flood a room with light; pressure on
KEYS will make letters faster by far
than one can write with a pen or
pencil; the lifting of telephone re-
ceiver from a hook starts a process
that will put one in communication
with a person hundreds of miles dis
tant.
1t is a day of conveniences, but
none the less a day when selfhood is
important Let the freshmen start
ing in the University-the older stu
dent, tOo-strive to express himself
to be not a copy OF any man, but
his own man. The drudgery has not
all gone out of labor Preparation
is necessary for almost any task. The
rough board must be smoothed with
tool and sandpaper before it can be
painted. The student must first of all
learn how to study He cannot do
this by touching an electric button
or by repeating a formula that will
open a magic gate. He must get down
and dig. He must be more than a
machine; more than a man dependent
wholly on levers and push buttons !;
he must be himself.
Even our devices for eliminating
drudgery, many of them, are express
ed in terms of self. We have the
self-starting automobile and the
self-flling fountain pen. Let it be the
day also of the self-expressing stu
dent.

up the national advertising of the
manufacturers whose goods he
handles-he should educate his clerks
to become better salesmen-he should
strive to increase his trade in the
territory surrounding Columbia
he should strive to keep Columbia's
retail trade at home
In short, he should strive to become
a better merchant, for in becoming a
better merchant he not only benefits
himself, but he builds for the future
by making Columbia better retail

The second case on the docket was
that against NJ. N. Beeler, student in
the School of Journalism. This case
had attracted considerable attention
because of his having evaded arrest
and the opinion among many people
was that he might likely be convicted
This idea was speedily dispelled when
the evidence was presented.
In his opening statement to the jury
the prosecuting attorney asserted that

MERCHANTS COOPERATION.

Secretary Coffin of the Retail Mer-
chants Association of Kansas City,
was surprised last week to find the
retail merchants of Columbia organ
ized for mutual assistance and better
ment. He said it was the first asso-
citation of the kind he had ever found
in a town of Columbias size
A prominent advertising man from
New York City, while visiting in CO.
lumbia last week, was surprised to
find that the grocers and butchers
of Columbia had combined to reduce
the cost of delivering merchandise.
The achievements of the Retail
Merchants Association of Columbia in
the last year show the possibilities
of these organizations in the retail
betterment of the small towns. And
there is no reason why retail mer-
chants should not band together for
mutual assistance against the profess
sional dead beat, the bad check man,
the fake advertising graft, and other
pests that combine to injure a city
The strawberry growers of South

attempts to sell inferior fruit can't
have the associations emblem placed

grower of Southern California who
does not spray his fruit, can't market

FAMOUS ARTISTS
Picture Stories that Will Appear in
The Herald Every
Day.
WRITTEN BY AN ART CRITIC

Strictly speaking, the word cherub is
used as the name of an angelic order,
placed in pictures with the seraphs near
est the figure of the Deity. But this
word has come to be used in a much
broader sense. In art both cupids and
pretty little children are referred to as
cherubs. Next week in The Herald and
in THE Mentor" the publication of The
Associated Newspaper School, you will
read about some of these "Cherubs In

BartolOmmeo; 'Cherub,' by Sassofer-
ratio: Holy Cherubs." by Rubens; THE
