Bandits

Friends OF the old order in Mexico,
refer to leaders like Villa and Zapata,
as bandits. Their own people. who
ought TO know, call villa Mexico'sI
pest general, and Zapata a sincereI
reformer or the preposterous land
monopclies. But the epithet sticks.
Maybe il was true In the beginning
Mexico would not be the first coun ~
whose bandits were its best men. ALI
rebellion against tyranny must at first
be secret: often IL must take to thet
hills and live by acquisitions. Klephtsl

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.--A re.
markable demonstration OF the abil-

the fact that the employees in ques.

Modern Advertisements
BY GILBERT HUBBARD.

Modern advertisements are neither
blatant nor latent.
They are never fiambacious nor
fiatulent; instead they are fecund and

Blatant advertisements are those
that bawl and brag and buster.

booth and pounds drum
Such methods may attract atten-
ton, but once our curiosity is salts
fed We cling close TO our weasel-skln
and hug our prejudices preconceiyed.
The blatant advertisement with the
ballyhoo bias defeats its purpose be-
cause 1t repels.
IL cheats us OF the Joy OF discov-
cry. just as teachers who are too
wise cause us TO close our cosmic
pores and crawl into our psychic cayi-
ties, pulling the aperture in after US
Latent ads. are those written by
blase octogenarians whose souls are

geration existing only as chemical

The whole is favored with the wit
OF goodwill and tinted with wisdom.

FINAL MEETING OF CON- TRACTORS AND LAND PEOPLE HARMONIOUS AND WORK RESUMES
HR(From Tuesday's Daily)


 Private advices were received yes .terday from Terra Haute, Indiana, which indicate that work will be- gin in short time on the huge un- dertaking of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company, which was out lined at the Boise meeting a few weeks ago. There has been no dc parturc from the announced pur- pose of resuming and upon the plans that were definitely agreed upon, to cancel all liens, withdraw all liti- gation, and pay all debts in full, whether in or out of the jurisdic ton of the courts. Col E. P. Thay CT, James Watson, J. R. Finkel- stein. Enos Porter, and other stock holders, are to leave Chicago to- morrow, for Prescott, while H. c. Wells, John w. Nancy, Captain Carter and others of the construc- ton company will arrive here at fhe same time.
 R. s. Fessenden, of the engineer corps of Nancy Brothers, stated yesterday that his firm had bee;- awarded a very large contract by the reclamation service. and he left dur ing the day for Phoenix to prepare for the work. A ditch of several miles in length will be dug on the Cave creek cutoff, that connects with the Roosevelt dam. Mir. Fes- sendcn stated that Nancy Brothers will make Prescott their base of operations in Arizona, and will also have charge of dam construction on Granite creek in the local undertak- ing. It is now believed that the middle of the month will see dirt flying again at this point, and that there will be no further delays in carrying out water conservation and land developing.
