MEx,co's ARMIES

The irritation felt in this country
over the sordid sQuabble in Mexico,
so upsetting to business relations on
this side of the line, does not lend
itself, to a perception of the humor
of the situation. But the day Will
come when the Mexican revolution
will be seen from its more grotesque
points of view.
The attention of our whole nation
has been concentrated for some
weeks on the armies concentrating'at
Torreon. Neither one of the conten'
ding forces would look impressive
near to. In the days of ex-President
Diaz, the forces at his command were

The wealth Of the pine forests, far

The young man who covers his
rougher lands with pine should have
sure reserve against decllnlng age,

days our bird life has been sacrifice

result, insect pests have attacked
many forests. The pines evergreen
foliage resists the attack of many
enemies before which the slower
growing hard woods quickly fall.
1t will be costly for the working
man of the coming generation to own
his own home, unless far reaching
plans for pine reforestation are
made.

FUSION OPPOSED
BY PROGRESSIVE

Denver, April GA battle for con-
troll of the Progressive party of Col
orado was fought today at the meet
ing Of the state central committee.
A resolution Withdrawing from the
state executive committee the power
to appoint county chairmen was
presented by John B. Stephen, presi-
dent of the Colorado Progressive
league. This resolution had the sup
port of the so called insurgent wing
of the party. 1t was opposed by in
fiuential members of the state organ
ization, who charged that an attempt
was being made to bring about fusion
between Progressive and Republicans
at the state election this fall.
Supporters of the Stephen resolu-
ton declared that under the present
rules, the state executive committee
exercises dictatorial powers. Steph-
en- declared himself that his propos-
al was made to GUST clique domina-
ton Of the party organization ana
assure control to the people.
The committee convened shortly
before noon. An open meeting was
to be held in the afternoon and there
ia to be a banquet at which the prin-
cipal speakers will be Medill McCor-
mick of Chicago and Henry j. Allen
of Kansas.

SIS
THE GIFT FOR SPEAKING
IN PUBLIC

Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, have
just had their annual triangular de.
batting contest. The newspapers gave
1t about as much space as would be
allotted to an intercollegiate baseball
game. Nevertheless, this is kind
of contest that comes home very
closely to a college students future.
A debating contest is no matter Of
pale faced and anaemic scholarship.
It is a real. battle, where quickness
of wits tells just as It does on the
ball field. 1t is not the extent of a
mans knowledge that counts. 1t Is
his ability to make his knowledge
available for instant use.
Years ago public speaking was
taught much more widely. Every
Friday afternoo nthe high school lads
were lined up on the platform. They
had their speeches by Burke or Pat
rick Henry to deliver. The girls gap
ed at their fervid oratory. Occasion:
al delegations of parents saw visions
Of their darlings in the legislature.
1t is considered nowadays almost a
public disgrace to have son grow
up into successful politician. Com
paratively little attention is given to
training young folks in the art Of
public speech. Still of recent years
many colleges have done what they
could in these debating contests.
Some high schools have debating So
cieties.
Ability to think on ones feet and
to express his views coherently Is a
gift of enormous value. The business
man who can state case concisely
is greatly helped in attaining his
ends.
The young aspirant for success
gets more recognition In this way In
single evening than would other.
wise come to him In a decade. The
fellow who can address a public hear.
Ing. welcome distinguished visitors,
lead sentiment at mass meetings. is
an asset to any community. The
schools should value this gift higher

MUSIC

The weeks previous to the Easter
festival are busy time in most
church choirs. In the old intolerant
days In some communions, the OBJ.
servance Of Easter was considered to
SAVIOR of popery. The choirs could
search through their tattered anthem
books in vain for any compositions
concentrating this great Christian
festival.

today that do not demand more or
less elaborate display Of their musi-
cal powers for this occasion. Among
all the devices adopted to lure the

ously effective, year in and year out.
than good music.
1t is commonly felt that in order
to provide a good choir much money
must be spent. If IA church demands
quartet music, satisfying the educat-
ed ears of music specialists, this Is
usually correct. But there are a
great many churche that provide ex-
cellent chorus music at very lktle
cost. 1t all depends on getting a
competent leader, who has enthusi'
ssm enough for his art to drill hope
full amateurs. +,

alive, romantic; Easter music Is en-
