THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE OF
 1910

Many American papers, supposedly well informed, published the news of the festivities of September 16th, as being the date of the liberation of Mexico from Spanish rule by Benito Juarez.
 Benito Juarez, a pure Mexican Indi- an, became president of Mexico very much later. He fought against cleri- calism in Mexico in the three years war (1S57-60) and fought against the French Intervention until MaXimilian, emperor of Mexico, Generals Mejia and Miramon were caught, court-mar- tialed and shot in 1867.
 It was the half-breed priest Hidalgo who started the revolution against Spanish rule by ringing the church bell on the midnight of September 16, 1910. That is the reason why all the Supreme Chiefs in Mexico ring the bell, the same bell which Hidalgo rang in 1910, and shout vivas to the Consti tuition, to Liberty and to the Mexican people.

mentS occasional riot and insurrec- ton. There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the gov ernment and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in gov ernments of a monarchial cast patri- Otism may look With indulgence, if not with favor, upon tn esprit of party. But in those of the popular character, in governments purely cleo tive, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is cer- tain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose; and there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quencheG, it demands uniform vigilance to pre- vent it bursting into a flame, lest in stead of warming it should consume"
 Let these words of Washington sink deep into the heart of every American citizen, and that he would follow the principle herein announced as his guiding star.

We say appear to be-" for not all letters which seem useless orally are really useless as to their presence in a word For instance, write right" and rite" are sounded alike, but the diff ference in spelling tells the differ ance in meaning. Spelled in the SO called simplified style, all three would be rite, but the change, far from simplifying, would casue confusion This is a point commonly overlooked by the autocrats of spelling reform but it is a very important point both to children in schools and to their elders who prefer to know what a word means at sight (not "site') without having to study out the meaning from the context.
 The English language will not stand still. It never has. On the other hand, it will continue to move forward with a dignity and sobriety and sense of the fitness of things be fitting it's antiquity, it's glorious his tory, and the immortal works of geni us of which it is the shrine and the custodian.

SAYING THE BABIES

Even in New York City, where the population is so congested that the chances would appear to be against children growing up, the infant death rate has been greatly decreased.
 According to the city health depart ment figures not only are fewer in infants under one year of age dying in New York today than ten years ago, and like decreases are shown in the classification of children between one and two years of age and two and five years. Persons interested in the children's welfare have often express ed fear that the efforts of all organi cations to prevent infantile mortality were centered too much in work to keep babies alive during the first year after birth, only to neglect them later and have them die during the second to fifth year.
 The department of health of the Clly OI 4NSW 1OIh Ulu uOL TOT nO' ment subscribe to this view, and in order to determine the facts in the case an investigation was made of the deaths and death rates of the various age periods under one year, between one and two years, and between two and five years. The result of the investigation will interest social work CTS in all parts of the country, be- cause most progressive cities are en- gagged in child-saving campaigns, simi- lar to that conducted in New York, although usually on a smaller scale.
 In 1904 more than 16,OOO infants under one year of age died in New York, making death rate of 162 per thousand, and last year less than 14,- 900 children of this age died, reducing the rate to 104 per thousand.

MORE SACRED THAN THE CRANE
 CATHEDRAL
S. E. MAXWELL Phone 122-W. Yuma Ia

An outcry has been made because the beautiful and historic cathedral at Rheims has been ruined by German shells. Such an outcry affords new evidence that when nations go to wal they are acting in an abnormal fashion and that they have lost the faculty of viewing questions with a due refer ence to the matter of proportion. It is shocking that a structure which has gotten into the art and literature and traditions of a large part of civilization should be thu: ruthlessly destroyed.
 But if the spirit for which all ca thedrals stand is still alive in the hearts of humanity, it must be frank " conceded that the needless taking Of the most humble life in Europe IS a far more monstrous proceeding that the destruction of every cathedral Tn the world. Cathedrals can be re- built. The spirit for which they stan5 $, or should be, imperishable.
 People speak of sacred edifices" But no edifice is sacred. It is the thing which the edifice stands for that is sacred.
 Human life is the one thing which should be held sacred. And human lives are being destroyed in Europe today, in ali probability, at a rate which has never been paralleled in the history of the world, even under the lava of volcanoes, or tidal waves or the sundering of earth as a result of earthquake.
 A child might be expected to la ment the soiling of its dress in an accident which rendered itparentIaec and homeless. The mind of a child cannot grasp those problems which lie outside all it's previous experiences.

TRAINING BOYS FOR
 REAL LIFE IN INDIANA

A group of log buildings on the edge of the woods, built by the boys themselves, houses the school whose motto is ''To teach boys how to live"
 little lake in northern Indiana, a hun dred and fifty city boys are gaining the sort of educaton winch can be had only through intimae personal contact with nature and raw materials and the primitive processes of the handicrafts- education that the farm boy absorbs without realizing t, but for which the city school offers 10 substitute.
 Life at the school is almost primi- tive in it's simplicity and freedom from irksome restraints. Not Cnly have the
 ooys actually constructed the build ings, many of them quite large, but the care and maintenance of the school premises are entirely in their hands. Many of the older boys live in pairs in little cabins built by them selves along path by the lake-with kennel for pet dog at the back of most of the cabins. The ''hOusekeep- ing of these cabins as we'll as the dormitOTy where the smaller boys live, the schOolrooms, offices, shops and laboratories, is entirely in the hands of the pupils. Except for a fireman or two in the power house and the Chinese cooks in the kitchen, there are no paid servants at the school.
 Winter and summer the boys, both
 n work and play, spend more time out of doors than under roof. There is the farm work of a 20O-acre farm to be attended to, for one thing, besides the policing and care of the grounds and walks, road building, and the con logs and concrete-beginning with the felling of the trees in the 5O0-acre woodland across the lake. In all their labors the boys work in squads each group under the direction of one boy who is held responsible for results and discipline. In this way qualities of Leadership are developed, which is one of the principal aims of the school since most of the pupils are the sons of business men, and many of them will be called upon later in life to as sume the management and directio.- of large affairs.
 Besides the larger activities of the farm, there are shops for working in metals and in wood, the products Of which are utilized in the school or sold outside. All the furniture for the buildings is designed and made ,by the boy carpenters; most of the art metal work is sold by one of the Chicago stores at good prices.
 Academic instruction goes hand in hand with the practical work of the farm, gardens, and shops. Many CfI the boys have individual gardens, and the laying out of these, calculatiny the amount of seed required for the different vegetables and flowers an the working out of other details, pro vide applications for instruction = surveying, drawing and mathematics. The purely classroom courses are sini- lar to those of other preparaatory schools, but the shop and farm wor.. the close contact at all times with | natures processes and products, and the free outdoor life give these boys i'll addition a valuable store of ex- perience and energy.-By Frank Par | ker Stockbridge, in the October Popu- | lar Mechanics Magazine

day, in the Benton case, the British government carried consideration for us to the extent of revessing the pol icy of centuries. It is because a peace-seeking nation rules the waves that our fortunate country has been saved from the burden of ornaments.
 Statesmen, and especially German statesmen, indulge with amazing full ness the human desire to talk. Again and again leading German off cials, in private conversation with A Imericans, assert that when England's power is once destroyed, Germany will make short work of the Monroe Doc Urine. The day that England's con- mand of the ocean is destroyed the United States begins a large army and a tremendous navy.
 It will have to be ready for much more than interference by a warlike power in South America and Mexico It will have to be ready to see Ger many make up to Japan at the first opportunity and support her against us. It will have to face, perhaps i'm mediately, so limitless is the Prussian self-confidence, a German demand for the most important naval base held by any of the allies in the neighbor- hood of the United States.
 This war is fought to decide wheth- CT armed agressiveness is still the road to national greatness. Germany eXacted from France as indemnity the money to set the pace in building arm aments. She later borrowed money from France and England for the same purpose. If she wins now, she will demand indemnities large enough to amount to her debt to the allies, and enough more to give her again an unequaled army and also a navy more powerful than England will have left after the German demands, which VIII iAlOiuuC QGuuduu TOT BrlClSQ ships. Her invasion of Belgium sums up the moral issue. Her chan cellor complained that England should make such a fuss about "a scrap of paper.'
 That is what the most solemn of treaties, the most complete neutral ization is to the Bismarck tradition, and the world is now fighting to see whether vast army or scrap of paper is the most important. If Germany wins, many another scrap of paper must be torn. She recently assured Holland that after the war she would let her alone. Everybody laughed During the negotiations, the German foreign office argued to Grey that Bel glum would be of no use to Germany without Holland. Does any innocent believe Germany will willingly leave Belgium?

NO USE FOR THE CINDER

Indignant Passenger (to railway manager)-Here, I say, got Gin der in my eye from one of your con founded engines, and it cost me two dollars to get it out and dress the eye. Now, what do you propose tc do in the matter?
 Railway Manager-Nothing ntS dear sir. We have no use for the cinder, and you are perfectly welcome to it. No doubt, strictly speaking, you did go off With our property-the cinder, of course, was not yours-but we do not care to make a fuss about such a small matter.

When Washington was about to lay down the burdens and the cares of government he issued to the country and to the world the memorable fare we'll address that to all lovers of hu- man freedom has become a classic in speaking of political parties he used this language:
 "I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, With particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discrimina- ton. Let me now take a more con- prehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the bane- ful effects of the spirit of party gen. erally. This spirit, unfortunately, is inSeparable from our nature, having it's root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under diff ferent shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or re- pressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in it's greatest rank ness, and is truly their worst enemy.
