Would YOU kindly give us some idea
as to the attitude OF the government in
Washington towards the Mexican stu
atom DO they intend to recognize the
belligerence of the COnstitutionalist
when Villa takes JuaTeZ. in order that
the American people may have q chance
to witness the same Outrages that
We're committed in Durango and Casas
Grandes, upon innocent women and
girls, by these 'liberators2'

the Bible where the damnatOry clauses
are omitted altogether.
There were plenty OF opportunities
during the centuries that the gospel of
John had to be written and copied and
rcCopied by biased scribes. to add their
damnatory clauses to the statements of
Jesus for the rest so full of love and
hope and kindness even for the worst
types OF evil doors

on QUOTING SCRIPTURE.

FL PaSO, Tex, July 5.
Editor e. Paso Herald:
read the criticism by DR.. Hanks
about Pastor Sexton when he lectured
here on the 18th of June, and DR.. Hanks
accuses him of only quoting part Of
John 5-2S-29, thus: All that are IN
their graves shall hear His voice and
snail come forth I viii quote the en-
tire two verses and Will leave it to
the Intelligent reader to judge for
himself If there is anything in either
Of them TO be ashamed of.
Marvel not at this for the hour is
coming in the which all that are in
their graves shall hear His voice and
shall come forth; they that have done
good unto the resurrection of life, and
they that have done evil unto the res
direction Of damnatiOn."
Now. is it not strange when some
one like DR. Hanks is trying to correct
one brother Of an error and delibera-
tely commits the same offence by only
quoting about half of End Peter 3:16,
thus. Which they that are unlearned
and unstable Wrest as they do also
the other scriptures. unto their own
destruction" He should have given
the whole. so the reader could know
why they wrest the scriptures.
A part of Peter 3; l6 reads thus:
In which are some things hard 10 be
understood Is that not true tOday2
Is it not true with this brother2 1t is
hard for him to understand these
scriptures who gave himself a ran
som for all to be testified in due
time" Tim 2.6.) Not mans due time.
God hath appointed a day in the
which he will judge the world in right
eousness by that man whom He hath
ordained Wherefore He hath given
assurance unto all men in that He hath
raised Him from the dead" (Acts
17.31.) In thy seed (Which is Christi
shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed" Gen. 22:1S) Gal SIS, 16, 29.)
Behold I bring you good tidings. which
shall be unto all people" duke .: 100
The thing that is troubling this
brother more than anything else is the
goodness Of God We have been taught
al along that God was only going TO
torture chamber where he would
condemn 95 percent of the world to an
eternity of misery, but from the bright
light that is shining from every page
of Gods word. We see il teaches no
such thing, but the very opposite. The
election OF the elect. instead of mean
ing the condemnation of the nOn-elcct,
means the blessing of all the families
of the earth. Not that all the whole
world viii be blessed and given eternal
life-uot by any means Many will go
into the second death after the resur-
rectiOn, but what the scriptures do
claim is that Jesus Christ has pur-
chased every man back TO a resurrec-
tiOn-sOme to a resurrection of perfect
life. and the rest to a resurrection by
judgment, which viii take a thousand
years to accomplish

Washington, April 26.-"The pur'
rose of the income tax is to reach for

Iiied Representative Hup Of Tenn.'
author of the tax. to the suggestion
that the tax is class legislation. Dur
ing the analysis featuring the taria
debate today he characterized the tax
as fair, and productive and respon'
sive to changes in rates and cheap
of collection against the assertion
taat it is a tax upon thrift. Hull
replied that the tariff is tai upon
consumption.
Answering the objections OF the
mutual insurance companies. he
scid: There's no purpose to tax pro-
ccedcd policies nor the return Of any
amount of the principal invested IN
Insurance during life for business
purposes, but only gains and profits
arising from same. The tax would
rot increase premiums under the
theory of fair dealing"

\oy WIuucIU JVucc.
Washinbton. April 26.-Another
federal patronage row has developed
among the Florida congressman.
Sometime ago Representative
Sparkman recommended to Postmas-
ter General Burleson the appoint
ment Of J. H. Humphries as post
master at Bradentown, and Sam Will
son as postmaster at Barlow. A.
soon as Senators Bryan and Fletcher
heard Of Representative Sparkman's
action they called on Postmaster
General Burleson and recommended
the appointment of General L. NJ.
Law at Barlow. 1t was then clearly
up to" the administration to decide
whether recommendation Of the con.
gressman would be followed in ap-
pointing postmasters. or whether tho
long established custom would be
overruled and the senators allowed
to name postmasters with expectancy
Of their recommendation overriding
those of the congressman.
Speaking Of Humphries and Will
son today. Representative Spark
man said they were both high class
men. and fitted In every way for the
positions.
General Law is q Confederate vet
eran and has been opposed to Spark
man In politics for many years. II
is said. His appointment by Presi-
dent Wilson would be considered y
rundown Of Sparkman.
