NO LAUGHING MATTER.

7 AR Hart Har!
The laughing hyena, making a
terribly angry face to show that
it wouldn't laugh if it didn't have to,
paced to and fro, to and fro, behind the
bars of its cage.
Harl Harl Har!
To and fro, to and fro. always with
the same peculiar gait; first a hop and
two skips with its fOrefeet, then q skip
and two hops with its back feet.
Steadily, for two hours, the tall youth
and his winsOme companion had stood
outside the cage, watching, watching,
watching, fascinated.
Har! Har! Harl
The hyena leered at them insultingly,
vet never stopped for a second his
strange, eerie, hop and two skips, two
skips and a hop.
The man turned to the girl with
hopeless gesture.
Its beyond me" he sighed. "Quite,
quite beyond me"
The girl, evidently an advocate Of the
equality of sexes, returned him a gesture
just as hopeless.
ME, too" she breathed. 'I thought
at first had it, but no, it is beyond
comprehension"
And, despairing of ever incorporating
the laughing hyeEl's mysterious gait
into a tango stem. they sadly withdrew
to the monkey house.

..THAT GARBAGE RTI.I.s

Editor FL Paso Herald:
take this method Of calling attention to
that ordinance now before the city council
for adoption before it is passed It is all
right to force people to keep their premises
clean but the proposition to force every
family to pay Sc a year is unjust and viii
work a hardship on the poor. The ordi-
nary family without horse or COW does not
have so cents worth Of garbage to haul
away in three months and there are so
many express wagons anxious to haul if
away that Il can be done for a great deat
less. Besides, If have my own wagon. I
am forced to pay IS a year to support the
man who rides around in his buggy wearing
his kid gloves and calling himself "the sani-
tarv commissioner"
7 for one most positively protest against
such a measure You viii do the people a
great favor if you viii call attention to the
proposition and explain it before 1t passes.

placed In the district OF our Texas.
Dallas, with the territory put in this
district, will best serve the interests Of
our immediate section. Texans are close
" akin to the people OF New Mexico
and Arizona. The district abOunds IN
wealth and resources. The diversity of
interests, between the country aromd
Dallas and east, north and south OF
there, and the country related to FL
Paso, makes the district all the more
logical and better.
The next logical step will be to estab-
ish branch bank at Ell Paso. FL PasO
is the natural point to transact the bust
ness of west Texas, and of those portions
of Arizona and New Mexico which are in
this district.
Ell Paso also is the point at which a
branch bank should be situated to care
for the international flow of commerce
between us and Mexico.
FL Paso is the place tc conduct all
banking business relating to the mining,
and the irrigation, and the cattle, indus
tries.
So let all of our people rejoice And

Our farmers will be interested in the
progressive step of secretary Lane in au
thorizing the construction of a railroad
20 miles long, south of Yuma, Ariz., to
provide transportation facilities for the
Yuma irrigation project. The roaI will
be built along the !evec, of stan lard
gage, and is expected to be in operation
within 60 days.
That is sure enough progress. Waic-
and transportation facilities, going hand
in hand, viii bring the greatest devel-
opment possible to our section.
As secretary Lane Is thus alive to the
needs of the Yuma project, We may all
the better appreciate his sympathetic
interest and activity in behalf of our
people along the Rio Grande.

Ohm SMITH is a dazzling illustra-

by energy and determination. Born
of UndistingUished parents and provided
with two names so common that when
ever any one called him, half of the
country side rose up and said, I'm com

great name. He did not do this by OBJ
tanning a title or by changing the SPELL
ing to "Smythe," either. He merely be-
came so famous that when the name
John Smith is mentioned in history
today, not one person, however ignOr-
ant, stops to inquire (which John"
Smith was born in England in 1888
and was distinguished by his great faith
IN America. He believed that if the
state of Virginia, which was at that time
a wholly savage state. could be cult
waited, it would produce tobacco, corn and
presidents in vast numbers. Accordingly,
he organized a colony, loaded it into
three ships about the size of the I'm
perratOr's life boats and landed in Vir-
GINA in 1907
The school books portray John Smith
at this period as a stout man in a
chilled steel vest and several bushels of
beard. He locks like a venerable pa

100 Years Ago Today

EN-. JOHN B. S. TODD. a soldier
of three wars, and governor of
Dakota territory. was born 100
years ago today in Lexington. Nv. In
his youth he removed with his parents
from Illinois. He graduated from West
Point in 1887 and for five years there
after was actively engaged in the Florida
war. During the war with Mexico he
distinguished himself in the siege of Vera
Cruz and at the battle of Cerro GOrdo
Subsequently he took part in the Sioux
expedition in the northwest. For a short
period in the early part of the civil war
he commanded a division of the army
of the Tennessee. After quitting the
army he served as a Dakota delegate in
Ongress and was governor of the terri
tory from 1869 to- 1871. Gen. Todd died
in Yan1tOn in 1872.

BELGIUM NOT NEUTRAL.

Count o Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador here, issued the follow
ing statement:
Concerning the Anglia Belgium mill
tary agreement existing since 1906,
a formal denial has been issued by
England which proves nothing. The
documents are in the hands of the
German authorities and will be pub
lished in full.
THE fact remains that a ~so-called
neutral country concluded a military
agreement with England, which pro
vided for landing British troops in this
neutral country. The document
proves that by its own free will 'neu-
trial Belgium accepted the British of
fer and decided to fight on the side Of
the allies.
England instigated Belgium to go
to war, and when the time came to
protect the unfortunate little country,
it was left to its own resources. Ger
many, on he other hand. who has
heard of Belgium's agreement with
England at the beginning of this war,
offered to protect Belgium and to pay
full indemnity for all her losses. Ger
many would have religiously kept her
promise.
THE documents found in Brussels
prove that as far back as 1908
England was systematically trying to
bring about the coalition which has
now forced war on Germany

Hear The Truth
For Once!
The Washington Times Says;
German Staying Power.

German Staying Power.
The basis Of German confidence
that the war can be sustained indef-
nitely, and that in the end German
economic power will be ample to bring
victory, is set forth in a most i'm
pressiye statement by Interior Secre-
tary Delbruck. The secretary has
been directly in charge Of the great
business OF co-ordinating the indus
tries of the country and of harmonic
ing Industrial conditions with military
necessities. He knows perhaps bet
ter than any other man what Germany
plans to do by way OF sustaining her
self throue]l ne crisis, and what She
has with which to effect her purposes.
At the outset, Herr Delbruck fatty
lays down the proposition that Ger
many cannot be starved. It does and
can, he says, raise practically all its
foodstutfs; and it can quickly and
surely increase the amount produced
by the simple e%xpedient Of reducing
the outturn Of beet sugar and growing
other things more Immediately neces-
sary and available for food.
Perhaps the most striking part Of
the statement is that which deals with
the organization of German industry.
The usefulness Of the great cartels or
trusts, highly organized and closely re-
lated to the government, was pointed
out The government believes these
strong, highly centralized ~organiza-
tions will be of the greatest assist
ance in steering the country through
its crisis. On this point he said:
q had a talk with gentlemen repre-
senting the control of the sugar in
dustry, and in fifteen minutes We had
settled all the questions affecting it, |
met other men, and we quickly settled
the textile and chemical industries. |
met representatives OF all the agricul-
tural organizations, and in an hour
we had settled all questions pertain
ing to the food supply. Germany, as
no other country. is centralized indus
trially as well as economically, giving
us an organization which makes us un-
conquerable economically and indus
trially."
The vice chancellor declares that
the problem Of unemployment had
become less acute, that unemployment
had decreased 61-2 per cent in the
last five weeks, and work had been
provided for 1OO,O 900 in Prussia alone
in connection with new railways,
drainage, canals. and reclamation
work. One OF the most serious prob
lens was the shortage of raw mater
ial. and the vice chancellor said:
I'VE are solving the problem by
state control of existing supplies and
state supervision of distribution in or
der to prevent waste. The war minis
try gets what it needs first. then the
factories working for the government,
and what is left is divided among the
Others. We captured much raw cotton
in France and Belgium which has
come in handy."-The Washington
Times.
