NEXT!

General Huerta, man of blood
and iron, has abdicated the usurp.
ed presidency Of Mexico.
And the world waits for the
next chapter in this drama OF blood,
strife and destruction.
Who will be the next "patriot"
to despoil his people of the few
crumbs left to themp
When will til, next revolution
break out and drench this stricken
land with the little blood that
remains?
Some there are who fondly be.
ieve that peace is at hand. But
the wish is apt to be father to the
thought.
Certainly new government
will be set up by the Constitu.
tionalists. and q semblance Of
peace may prevail for . time.
But it will not last, because there
will be no restraining hand to
give 1t stability
There are not Offices enough to
20 round, and 1t will be but q
q question of time when come
hungry chieftsin who has been
denied his place ct the crib will
raise again the standard of revolt
and pillage.
It will be but another chapter
in the old, old story of Mexico'e
shame-and ours-for we, a great
and mighty people, sit idly by
while q sister nation writhes in the
throes of self. destruction.

Gueydan has made a study OF

In his innermost' heart he knows

titled to q reasonable tariff; that
until now the Democratic party In
al its past history had never put
sugar on the free list. We admit,
that his study of this industry
shows him that the people Of the

by reason Of Mr.. Gueydan's study
OF these industries, and the inevi.

he should not Be supported for

couragement he received

fdent that Peterman is the

knows the interests of the|

stood by the people and their

Congregational Church

A large congregation last Sunday morn
ing listered attentlvely to the discussion
of the subject: "The Subway or the Ele-
vateG?' in which was shown the dstinc-
ton between the higher aud lower lines
of lrayel. one of which must be chosen in
making life's journey. We know that in
the city's traffic the subway offers the
same kind of service as he elevated. Of
ten indeed a better and speedier service
THAI the elevated, and always delivers it's
passengers where they may once again
come out into the sunlight, but the soul
subway is an underground route whose
terminal is dark and forbidding, while
the elevated runs on the plane of the
higher life to find its destination in the
realms of God.
Some of the characteristics of the sub
way were mentioned. 1t burrows its way
down in the dai kness, underneath the
busy thorcughfares where throbs the life
Of the busy world, so there are men who
, are made with capacity for loving light
who peivert that capacity INTO love of
darkness because their deeds are evil.
Travel in the subway is chare cterIzed by
the narrownesS of Its outlook, 50 the
traveller in Iife's subway fluids his vision
dimmed and his hopes darkened by the
narrowing influence of pessinism A
characteristic of travellers in lies sub
way is selfiShness. This ia the greatest
enemy with which God has to deal. 1t
would not take a very big b AIDES to accom-
modate the Devil if human selfshpess
were eliminated from the face of the
earth. Many people, too, are kept in the
subway by the class of literature with
which they feed their minds, by the
thoughts they think. Mans moods must
needs reflect the books he reads, the
thoughts lie thinks, the ideals he forms.
Evil companionship is likewise charac-
teristic OF those who travel in life's sub
way.
But the man who travels by 'ife's ele-
waited catches visions of God, of himself,
and of his fellows which inevitably lift
the world. The Good Samaritan chose
the elevated; the priest and the Levite
travelled by the subway. 1t will be in
the generation of the higher spiritual
forces of life that we shall witness the
next stage in human evolution.
There is nothing in life greater than
being true. For truth is purity; truth
trust, truth is love, truth is God Him
self.
The Christian Endeavor service last
Sunday evening was very ably led by
