gi'a its are in Iroven territory One thing can be said for American oil men, and that is that they are game losers. They have not whimpered over the losses that have accrued to them at Tampico, and they seem to take what comes as true philosophers This ss especially true of the Texas company.
 Last night marked the close of the wine bibbing in our navy and if the folks bac elk home could have witnessed the sights that l saw they would have been glad. l did not see a single naval man under the influence of liquor, nor have l heard any compalint from them as to the cutting out of intoxicants. Numerous sailors have expressed themselves as in favor of 1t. There is the same amount of sobriety In our army One sees but few men drunk, far less than in che same number of civil ians Another thing, too, is that large l numbers of the men in both army and | navy save their money. On pay days the money order window is worked to the limit, and frequently mail orderies come in and get a block of blank orders at one time. Secretary Daniels seems to be the idol of the men of the navy, es- pee ially the noncommissioned men. One never hears any adverse criticism of him. Nearly every private in the army Is a warm admrer of President Wilson, and the bulk of the deroga tory remarks about he President come from the Americans
 
 there is a much better feeling now than when I first came. There is no doubt that a great hardship has been worked on few bona fide Americans here and that they have just cause for the desire for protection from the United States. The fairest one l have met is man by | the name of Gould. who has been em- ployed by large plantation and mining company here. He frankly tells me that ] the trouble here is primarily an oil war, and he comments the President for the action he has taken so far.
 l The line of social demarcation here seems to be run on the kind of shoes one wears. The lower classes wear a sole that | is stra pped on the foot with throngs, the next class wears shoe that is all leather | while the grandees will have nothing else | but high-heeled shoes. How on earth they walk with some of them on I cannot see. 1 can always tell an American girl or lady, by the shoes she wears which are hat-leeled like the ores at home | There IS a Mexican family here the moth- | CT of which is American, and notice that | her daughters wear the flat heels This family seems to be very popular with the army and navy as I notice them enter taiLng rather often.
 1 There have been no balls or affairs of that kind since the occupation, but I am told that social life is becoming Iivelier.

 Attacked by Lee
 When Senator Hitchcock concluded he was vigorously attacked by Senator Blair Lee of Maryland, a democratic member of the banking committee, for making public some of the verbatim testimony in Jones nearing several days ago This evidence was printed in several newspapers. and the Mary land senator charged Senator Hitch cock with responsibility for making public testimony held as executive without the consent of other members of the committee or the Senate. sena- tor Lee was mildly supported by sena- tors Hollis and Shafroth, also majority members of the committee.
 Senator Reed of Missouri, the other democratic member of the committee, who opposes MT. Jones confirmation, defended Senator Hitchcock and pleaded for publication of the entire record Other democrats urged that the occasion did not call for shatterins the rules of the Senate concerning execu- tive nominations. Senator Bristow, re- publican, championed the Hitchcock motion and Senator Borah also spoke for publicity.
 Will Delay Action Finally it was agreed to delay acton on Senator Hitchcock motion pending submission of majority and minority reports. Toward the close of the debate Sena- tor Lewis, of Illinois, who Is leading the fight for MT. Jones confirmation, announced that he would vote for the fullest publicity. Today's debate indicated that the fight against confirmation of MT. Jones will be the bitterest that has occurred over any nomination in the Wilson ad- ministration, but administration lead CTS expressed confidence tonight they have the votes to assure the confirma- ton.

SIX STATES LACK LAWS
ON SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Bureau of Education Bulletin, How
ever. Shows Good Progress Made
in Country Generally.
RELATION WITH HLITERACY

Although six States in the Union still
are without compulsory school atten-
dance laws, and four others have laws
that apply only partially, definite prog
ress during the last decade is reported
in a bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. Since 1906
eight States previously without compul-
sorry laws have adopted them, and 1t is
thought to be only a matter of a few
dance laws will be in effect in every
State and Territory.
The six States still without compulsory
school laws are South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas
The States, in which the law is in effect
In certain counties only are Maryland,
Virginia, Arkansas. and Louisiana.
The bureaus investigation reveals a
close connection between lack of COM
pulsory attendance laws and iIliteracy.
The States rank in percentage of Hitter
acy much In accordance with the length
OF time compulsory schooling has been in
effect and the completeness with which
it is enforced.
The States vary widely in number of
years and amount of attendance re-
quired zach year. The period of COM
pulsory attendance Is from eight to
twelve in North Carolina and virginia
In most States 1t is eight TO fourteen or
fifteen. The present tendency is to
raise the upper limit of compuision. In
seventeen States the compulsory age
limit is sixteen years or above; In Idaho
it is eighteen. As a general rule, hom-.
ever, children In all these States are al
lowed to- leave school. at fourteen years
Of age II they obtain employment or have
completed the eighth grade in school.
AS little as twelve weeks of school at

required in Virginia, Oklahoma, Della

When you feel tinge of resent

think of what you are resenting,
and your spiritual mood. Maybe
you would be better off if your re-
sentiment were not exercised.
Resentment is as often misplaced
as any other unguarded DISPOSE
ton. How often have you seen
the attitude of an individu stiff

gust in the lookers-on when ma

king ready to deal the resenting
blow. La their expression you can
discern the "Now, watch me, won't
you, give the finishing touch"
We are ready to admit that re-
sentiment is necessary weapon in
self defense, but their are thous-
and ways to handle it, and when
properly placed, with circumspect
thought, is powerful weapon in
shutting off presumptive intrusion
and thougbtless invasions. But
you do not have to fortify it with
anger and display A dignifed and
sincere bow of the head and wave
of the hand can more effectively
resent an insult than can be done
by descending to the level of the
insulter. Let your resentment be
so high that it will bring shame
rather than anger to the one at
fault.

Mrs. Maude Sharpe, of Newton,
Miss, says the jackson News,
practices what she breaches. She
does not think 1t is right to shed
blood to crafty human appetite
or vanity. For eleven years she
has eaten no meat and worn no
furs, leather shoes or belts, or
ivory ornaments. Her hats are
trimmed with lace or ribbons or
artificial flowers.
Her table groaned with good
things to eat last Thanksgiving
and again on Christmas, but there
was neither roast beef nor turkey.
A faddist? Yes. At least that
is what the neighbors call her.
Still, kind and gentle and quite
inoffensive faddist, you will have
to admit; and certainly consist
ent one.
Her notion is that the life of
animals is a natural right and
therefore sacred. Moreover, to
take it except in self-defence, she
thinks is cruel and helps to breed
a spirit of Indifference to human
life. She has succeeded in getting
quite a group of persons to join
her in a meatless pact.

Then we would want him to be
capable of thinking-that property
in man that gives wings to en-
lightenment. Nothing valuable
can be done without thought.
Reason is what distinguishes boy
from the brute creation. He must
be above the brute. Boys that
truly think have none of the COM
mon bad habits. Thought is your
means of anal yzation., don't ne
glect it.
Then we would want him to be
filled with kindness from top to
bottom-that spirit that beats all
others in the uplifting of human
ity. An unkind man may be as
rich as Rockefeller, and yet be
perfect failure. This is the great
est qualification given to man for
good. The sweet influences that
sweep out frc&. ki;.14less 10 more

spring of life and calls inspiration

which, all the other qualities would
be failures. Truth is invincibIe.
In plain words, how do you esteem
liar? Have you any confidence
in him? The most barren of all
lives are those in which the people
have no confidence. Dreary in
deed is such a condition.
