Subbing for Ed

Fearing that during the absence of
Heating from Washington his errand
boy might forget to write his weakly
letter and mail out to the democratic
papers, Lon Beavers decided to sub
for him in Lamar. His spill over in
the Sparks last week was so much
worse than that of Eddie's errand boy
that the Sparks printed it on small
supplement hoping its readers would
drop it without reading. Lon was
smooth enough to dodge the demo-
cratic county craftsmanship when he
thought it was a losing campaign, but
he wants to get himself in print
enough to convince Heating and Shat
roth that he is still in politics. There
is little federal pie to be distribut-
ed some day but Eddie is not passing
it out SO long as the losers might
have an opportunity to get back at
him. 1t is pretty raw for those who
have been connected with the State
Land Board the past six years to
throw brickbats at Mulnix or anybody
else.

Vote Against War Taxes

A revenue of 100000 is claim
ed for the Underwod-S Simmons tariff
bill. The democrats were going to
have surplus of s31 ,OOO,0OO for fis-
cal year of 1914. But it is found that
s1OO, OOO, 900 is now needed to carry
on the work of the government for
the year 1914. And of all ridiculous
and unjust excuses TO taxing the peo-
Pile "war tax" is it. Why war tax
when we have no war? Neil Nc
Lean as congressman will not vote for
unjust taxes.

The office of county surveyor is
much more important than the pay
would indicate and the republicans
have nominated one of the most Cap
able civil engineers ever located in
this valley for the place, H. C. Byrnes.
The various large enterprises that Mr..
Byrnes has been connected with since
locating here are evidence of his high
standing and efficiency.

A. J. Davy

Probably no officer holding the po-

the republican candidate for reelection
as assessor. He has accomplished
this by trying to assess the public
with absolute fairness and has ac-
complished this impossible feat so
nearly as to convince all that he is
earnestly trying to be impartial. So
emphatically are the voters with him
that it has been almost impossible t.

the far-off, unspoiled districts Of the
nterlor-copper colored, straight
haired women, shy and beautiful-sing
their curious songs as they unpack
their bundles of fruit, while their men,
folk sun themselves and discuss cock
fights. Yes, by the old bridge in old
Tampico one can always find gorgeous
pictures-eyer changing and entranc-
ing, filled with flashing colors and in
finitely brilliant
But, of course, Tampico is impor-
tant in spite Of these things. 1t is
called the oil metropolis of Mexico
Certainly it is the safest port on the
Mexican gulf. The place commands
most Of the commerce of the City of
Mexico, and all of that of vast num-
Der of mining camps and centers of
the interior.
American industry and capital have
combined; together they have convert
ed a remote, shallow and most treach-
erous roadstead into an important har-
Dor. The engineers brought rocks
from the mountains-70 miles away
and piled them out to sea. They built
two great breakwaters, 1000 feet
apart, which extend to distance of T.
900 feet into the gulf. Thus, after a
million dollars or so was spent, Tam
pico, from being little village seven
miles up a surf guarded river, became
a widely known port. The city is still
seven miles up the Panuco river, but
now big steamers cross its shattered
bar and moor alongside the wharves
which front it's railway system.
The Panuco river is a curious
stream, wide and swift flowing. 1t
winds and twists, and is instinct with
many weird currents. Navigators are
not in love with it. AS matter of fact
it is easier for big ships to hit one of
its banks than to keep within the fair
way.

JEWELS OF LONDON MUSEUM
Ancient and Interesting Relics Are
Now to Be Seen at STRAIT
ford House.

London.-The London museum, re
moved from Kensington palace to
Stafford house, is twice as interesting
as it was, and more. At Kensington
there was no scope for definite ar
rangement. In the noble rooms OF
Stafford house overlooking the mall il
has been possible to follow chrome
logical order and to convey in the cos.
tunes and the pictures, in the pottery
and the weapons, in the books and the
thousands of other local relics, a clear
and telling history of London from
Saxon times until the present age
The most interesting addition that
has been made to the museum was
shown in the gold and silver room at
a recent private view. 1t is case
containing $50 jewels of the early sew
enteenth century that were found by
workman two years ago in chalk sol
16 feet beneath the cellar floor OF ar
old house in London.
There are gold and enamel pendants
and rings, enameled gold chains, 8

other communion relics, amethysts

quoises.
Like the box in which they were
found. with the earth all over them
the pearls had decayed. But for the
rest the treasures, as one OF the visit
ors remarked, have the appearance OF
being so extraordinarily modern that
all the gems look as though they might
be bought in jewelers. shop today
Three hundred years ago some one
must have buried this wonderful cas-
ket of treasures, hoping for an oppor
tunity to secure its safe recovery. Thai
opportunity never came, and the 70
nance or crime that led to its conceal
ment will never be upearthed. The
scene OF it's recovery and the sum thai
was given to the man who found 1t re-
NAMED a secret.

New York.-At last Tampico has he.

bungalows, the old church and the Jail
built on sand heap, the eyes of the
world are focused.
The little port up the Panuco river

a great city. 1t has none of the in

been discovered the place would be to-
day as it was 100 years ago-a lazy.

A point at the end Of the river con-

where where the Indian women could
beach their canoes and exchange their
fruits and dye stuffs for cloth and
gaudy finery.
Nowadays there are wharves there
and a railway depot. Big steamers
are alongside the quays and mechanics
IN dirty blue overalls make the land
8cape unpleasant to look upon. Where
once there was nothing but the subtle
murmur of exquisite heat, now there is
the noise Of locomotives and the jar
ring rattle Of the gear of unloading
steamers.
Apart from the unlovely evidence of
increasing prosperity, Tampico is still
picturesque. Only its water side, it's
river front, has been improved" Be
hind the smashing noise Of the railway
depot the old rabble of houses and
drinking shops and churches remain.
The place in its essence, as it were, is
still Central American and beautiful.
Dirty, yes, but splendidly dirty.
The old square remains, and by the

It is place unique. Perhaps the most

The worst of it is, your fellow prison
ers will probably steal your clothes.
But, in spite Of the wharves and the
railway, the ola native market re-
mains. The people from upriver still
come downstream in their dugout
canoes and barter with the town folk.
They exchange honey and sarsaparilla
and luscious fruits for pulque, tobacco
and cloth. Pulque of course, is the ma
tive spirit-the fermented juice of the
aloe-which produces quick drunken

children still gambol in happy naked

William Dunn sat in an operating

That he was able to take a directing

Nine. Vandervelde, Wife
of Minister, Pleads for
War Victims.
TO BRING QUEENS
LETTER TO AMERICA
Patriotic Woman Will Spend
Few Weeks Here to Enlist
Help for Fatherless.

Nine. vandervelde, the wife Of the
famous Belgian Socialist leader, now
Minister Of State in tho Belgian gov
eminent Of national defence, sends
the following appeal to the women Of
America through the columns Of The
Tribune:
aWomen and friends of America:
am coming to ask your sympathy IN
behalf of my fellow countrymen in
BeiRium. Il Is no political mission. 1t
is an appeal for help for devastated
homes, for fatherless families, for
those whom this terrible war has left
hOuseless and who, when the war is
over will be left without rooftrees,
without money to build them, and, all
too often, without sons or husbands to
work for them.
II am the bearer Of a letter from
our Well-loVed Queen. ] only ask you
TO give me an opportunity Of reading 1t
to you and telling you in person Of our
tragic conditions and Of asking your
help. ] am leaving Antwerp only for
this purpose, and, as soon as ] have
accomplished 1t, ! am returning to
share the fate of my eountrymen in
our bssieged city.
Thousands without Homes.
1T will not be telling you anything
you don't know when | say that seven
out Of nine provinces that go to make
up the kingdom of Belgium have been
devastated by the most dreadful war
known to history. The peaceful coun-
tryside is strewn with dead and dying;
thousands and thousands of people
have nothing in the world left; not q
rOof over heads, no money, no clothes
--nothing-and no chance of earning a
living Of any sort. The sight Of poor
refugees streaming into Antwerp from
LouvAin and ,Malines, women with
babies In their arms, their older chill
drsn elinging to their skirts, men
wheeling their decrepit fathers in
wheeibarFows or helping along Grip
pied brothers or sons, all knowing
they will never again see the houses
and cottages where they and their
parents were born, is more pitiable
than any words can express.
England, our generous ally, has
agreed to provide temporary homes for
many Of these poor people; her women
are working night and day to help.
But all this work, splendid and useful
as Il ., must necessarily be temporary,
and the crucial question in a few
months will be to repatriate these poor
outcasts, to build houses, to provide
land for the peasants and tools for
wcrkmen and to start again the numer-
