IS TOHN T. McCUTCHEON is q man
of nerve as well as OF skill with
the pencil" said George Curry.
Who was a captain in the Philippines
when McCutcheon was covering that
campaigncampaign
campaign for his paper. we were hav-
ing q lively little scrap one day and
one Of the men attached to my com
pany a fat man without much exper-
fence under fire. was lodging behind
tree in an effort to escape the Mauser
bullets which were singing through the
air. McCutcheon was there but he was
not worrying about bullets as he was too
busy making sketches OF the fat man
lodging around that tree trying TO
get away from the whining Mausers
II was a funny situation and he was
enjoying 1t immensely although he Was
exposed 10 the fire Of the enemy all
the time he was sketching the antics
OF the fat man;
'El Paso is the only city after all"
said Mrs J. 7. Grant i have just re-
turned from Kansas City. No, and II
was a great pleasure for me to get
in Kansas City. FL Paso never felt as
good TO me as IL does this time. II was
a great relief to get here after the
heat I had undergone in Kansas City"
II tell you the Arizona officers think
a lot OF the FL Paso police" said sher-
if Harry Wheeler, Of Tombstone, AriZ.
The FL PasO department is highly ef-
ficient in every sense OF the word. The
Arizona officers have never called on
the desired results being obtained II
it had not been for the FL Paso police
and detectives many an Arizona GRIM
inal would have escaped Whenever
man wanted, succeeded in getting out
OF Arizona all we have TO do is to wire
chief Davis If the man wanted came
to FL Paso the department captures
him Whenever the FL Paso police or
detectives want anything in Arizona

, the law and that IL is by no mesns
certain that in any instance were offi-
GERS withholding fees that they were
not entitled to.
You are asked to have such LAWYERS
then explain the meaning and uur-
pose OF article It's Of the penal code
entitled: AMOUNT ALLOWED OFF,
I GERS NAY BE RETAINED
Officers to make sworn statements
OF. fees oIlected"-which in part reads
Each officer mentioned in article no
shall at the close of each fiscal wear
make to the district court a sworn
statement showing the amount Of fees
charged and collected, and the amount
paid deputies and assistants, and All
fees collected in excess Of the maxi
mum amount allowed shall be paid to
the county treasurer
For your information: The fiscal
years closes November 80, therefore,
should the officers have complied with
the law and rendered a true statement
as required, there would not now be
occasion for all Of this distorting and
lying.
3. Your third paragraph states that
the auditors report was filed with
the commissioners court last Tuesday,
but does not explain why Escajeda
paid into the treasury April 10 his
shortages. BY referring to my reports
you will note that as each audit Of an
office was completed. a final report
was at that time made. which in this
case was April first. and, upon urgent
solicitation Of Escajeda as TO the
amount he was short. I informed him
Of the 1893 and which I have since
been advised was paid into the treas
urer as claimed by him. Therefore
insist and prove that Escajeda was
short at the time OF my audit Of his
office.
AS to the legal opinion Of judge Fall
vey in the matter OF Jury and stenog-
rapher fees, the writer felt he had SUI
ficiently corrected the Judge Of his
ideas at the meeting Of the commits
sioners' court, when I explained to
him that IL was a matter Of proper
bookkeeping" and not Of law. Now
for the sake Of argument presume
there should be a law TO affect same
there would be absolutely nothing to
affect fees deposited for juries when
a jury actually served; then such
money has been earned by the county
and as such ii is entitled to receive !
same from the district clerk, which he :
never turned over until virtually COM
PEELED to do so. The same obtains in l
the matter Of photographer fees.
4. Your concluding paragraphs deal /
with the eXtravagant use OF money in /
paying supposedly for the deputies
and assistants, and you attempt to !
justify same by stating the satisfac-
ton Of the various district judges and /
lawyers with conditions Of the office.
This is nice and the writer should not /
attempt TO differ with their opinions /
as jurists- However. when it comes TO 4
office detail, I should be glad to ex- /

The Proposed National Prohibi-
ton Amendment.

The Hobson resolution, now
being considered in Congress,
proposes constitutional amend
ment as follows:
Section THE sale, manufac-
ture for sale, transportation for
sale, expectation for sale and inn
portation for sale, of Intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes in
the United States and all territory
subject to the jurisdiction there
of, are forever prohibited"
Section 2-Congress shall
have power to provide in favor of
the manufacture, sale importation
and transportation of Intoxicating
liquors for sacramento, medical,
Mechanical, pharmaceutical or sci
entific purposes or for use in the
arts and shall have power to en-
force this article by all needful
legislation"
Alcohol is declared a poison.
The resolution carries a pream-
BILE setting forth that science has
demonstrated alcohol to be marco
tic poison and reciting its evil eff
fects.
We see a disease that is de-
bauching our youth, through the
national, organized liquor traffic,
for profits. And we seek a
remedy"
The loss of revenue will be
more than made up by the money
saved in the administration of
justice by SOLDERING up the people
of this country from one end to
the other"
There are 100000 voters in
the United States pledged not to
vote for any man or party which
does not fovor nationwide pro-
hibition.
The wise office-seeker will do
well to take notice. Every rep
resentative that votes against
this measure is marked. "
