Aureliano Banquet

Pierre Augureau was a drill ser
geant in the French garrison at Stras-
burg when the French revolution
broke forth in fury. He ardently es-
poused the cause of republicanism,
and rose in rank in the armies of the
republic. He fought under young
Bonaparte in the first Italian cam
paign, and won the plaudits of his
commander by his fiery and impetu-
Gus courage. When Napoleon assumed
imperial power in France, Pierre Au-
gereau became marshal of the empire
and duke of Castiglione. But he was
always drill sergeant. Greedy, owe :
bearing, flamboyant, cruel, he had one
trait that commended him to his chief.
Augereau was known for his bravery
in an army that contained Ney, Mu-
rat, Lannes, Mcdonald, Davoust, Vic
tor and the rest of that list of fiery
warriors.
Aureliano Banquet, whom Huerta
proposes to install as his puppet Pres
ident of Mexico, also is a drill SER
geant. 1t is true he holds command
as general, and it is also true that for
little while he may rank as Presi-
dent. But he is still a drill sergeant.
Briefly, here is the Huerta pro-
gragSnre. Pretending fealty to the
constitution, which prohibits a provis-
ional president succeeding himself at
election, Huerta opened the polls un-
der the auspices of his army, which is
recruited from the penitentiaries.
Huerta, in this illegal election, was
chosen President and Banquet vice
president. A new Congress also was
elected, its members being Huerta's
henchmen. This Congress will declare
Huerta's election unconstitutional, and
Blanquet's path to the presidential
chair is cleared.
But will the United States consent
10 this travesty? 1t seems entirely
Safe to answer in the negative. The
Fundamental objection of the Wash
ington government is that Huerta S
present place is the result of assassin
alton. The hands of Banquet are as
red as are those of Huerta, redder
than those of Felix Diaz. Many believe
that he knows more than any other
about the sudden taking off of Gus
tave Madero, Francisco Madero and
Pine Suarez.
Banquet was one of the clique
which betrayed President Madero.
During the street fighting in the City
of Mexico in February, Banquet was
summoned by Huerta and Diaz from
Toluca, nearby, where he had COM
manded the garrison during it's loyalty
to Madero. 1t was Banquet who ar
rested the President in the palace i'm
mediately after the murder of the lat
ter's uncle. Then President Madero
and Vice President Suarez were put
to death. After this series of atrocious
crimes and Huerta had vaulted into
power, he and the other conspirators
summoned the newspaper correspond
ents to deplore and explain the mur-
ders. On that occasion Huerta showed
evidences of great mental stress. Not
so Banquet. He told his story calmly
and carefully.
Banquet is cool, crafty, cruel. He is
as treacherous as Huerta, but not SO
able to plan. He is now hand in glove
with the dictator. He must fall with
him.

Change in system Needed


"That a change In the present sys
tenn of handling the appealed cases
from the city police court is needed Is
apparent to anyone who will take the
| time to attend the present session OF
| the criminal court and see case after
case stricken from the docket by con-
sent of the prosecuting attorney" said
county court official.
"This is due largely to the delay in
the trial of these cases, for often the
testimony on which conviction Is
based often depends on the testimony
of the arresting officers. These men
handle numbers of cases and it is al
most impossible for them to remember
the circumstances of a particular case
year or so after it happens. One of
the police captains showed me bunch
of subpoenas-possibly Is or 20--in
which he was summoned to testify for
the city and stated that he was un-
able to testify except to the arrests.
This entails great expense to the
county and some steps should be taken
to inaugurate a system whereby the
appealed cases from the city could be
tried while the case is fresh and the
witnesses available.
ut was also very apparent that many
convictions have been had in the po-
lice court that could not possibly be
sustained In the higher court, partly
due to the wrong charge being pre-
ferred by the arresting officer or the
conviction contrary to the law.
81 understand that the judges of the
criminal court and the city attorney
are to have conference in which the
matter of the appealed cases will be
discussed, and I understand that new
system will be suggested. This will
meet with general approval, for it will

A LESSON FOR THE APoLoGiST.

Not much in the way of news not previously received by telegraph can nowadays be gleaned from the rural press, but more than ever, perhaps, de the editorial pages of the little papers printed in little towns contain gems of thought and construction that richly reward careful perusal. The reward is rich, anyway, if the perus- CT happen to be looking for and duly appreciative of such examples of the genial and the ingenious as the fol- lowing lines from the Williamsville {Tenn.) Item:
 We wish to apologize to Mrs. Or lando Overlook. In our paper last week we had as heading, "Mrs. 0verlook's Big Feet" The word we had ought to have used is a French word pronounced the same way, but spelled fete. It@means a celebration and is considered very tony word" /"
 Hard indeed must be the heart of Mrs. Orlando Overlook if she cannot accept an apology at once so grace full and so instructive as adequate rep aration, even for wrong as irritat- ing, not to say Lladdening, as the one she suffered. Presumably the social leader of Williamsville, as the editor of the Item is the center of the towns light and learning, ami cable relations can now be re-estab- lished between the distinguished twain. Incidentally Williamsville has acquired valuable information about the meaning lnd pronunciation of French words. and has been provid- ed with noble models on which to base suave and elegant usage of auxiliary verbs in the past tense. What more could anybody want?- New York Times.

SCHOOL TEACHERS AND DRESS

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superin- tendent of Chicago schools, in addi- tion to having inaugurated and in sisted upon enforcing some reforms in teaching methods, has recently struck new note by urging the wo- men teachers of Chicago to be more particular about their dress in school hours. She insists that the teachers must be neatly dressed avoiding the tawdry and gaudy and must be very careful to set a proper example in their personal habits and appearance Commenting on the importance of this, in it's influence upon the school children, Mrs. Young says:
 "'The taste of the children augurs we'll for the women of the future. It is improving every day. and the gaudy colors and evidences of tawdry finery are gradually disappearing. From the kindergarten up, both girls and boys are taught the principles of color selection No more of the glaring col ors are seen in the goods sent by the mothers to the schools to be classes. This shows the effect up on the home and upon the mothers. The example of the teachers does more than anything else to impress upon the children the soundness of the lessons they receive in the mat ter of the choice of colcrs and taste fulness of design."'
 The subject is worthy the attention Mrs. Young is giving it. Formerly the women school teachers who did not overdress belonged to the class that too often went to the other ex, treme of neglecting their personal ap, pearance It is being generally recog- nized now that the influence of the school teachers extends very much farther than the mere teaching of set lessons. Their personality, their hab. it's and their example in discernable things have vast influence on their pupils, or should have. Knowledge of this should impress teachers with a keen sense of their responsibility.
 Some of the present features of wo mems dress, if they are as objection able as critics would have us be- lieve, will not long remain in vogue if the teachers example is directed against them.-Ex.
