Guatemala Consul. Then he proceed
ed on. his way with dignity and
grace.
| Friends of the Consul and editor
considered the matter and advised
that nothing short of application of
the code duello could atone. Plainly,
the matter was an affair Of both
personal and international honor.
Then the two gentlemen bowed and
placed themselves in the hands of
their friends.
Chief of Police Jim Reynolds heard
of the affair and sent two of his big
gest policemen to the famous "dueil-
ing oak" in City Park, where many
affairs of honor have been settled.
His instructions were: eff these two
guys start anything, beat hell out of
the principals and their entire revo-
lutionary junta."
Up to a late hour last night nothing
fatal had grown out of "the insult
horrible" offered General Pena by
Dr.. Guzman.

OPPORTUNITY.

Former President Taft says farm
ing is his natural bent. After my
experience at Hampton and after
studying the North and South, it
seems to me that while the North
has apparently been the more fortu-
nate section for a number Of decades,
it is the South now that has definite
future before it which it can work
out, and it il the North which is
struggling amid changed and chaotic
conditions, the future tel dency Of
which is uncertain.
With the natural tendencies of the
negro, with his natural desire to be
farmes, with land easily within his
reach, with the economic freedom
that be has, with great opportunity
for mechanical trades in country sur
ronndlnga, with a definite goal be-
fore him, undisturbed by social theo-
rles, unaffected by polit cal cha rgs
or disturbance, taught that the labor
of his hand is the most h nOrable
thing that he can do, there is not any
thing that be cannot accomplish for
his people py increasing their wealth
and their economic importance, which
are stepping st mes to the other rights
to which they aspire.
Meantime they will achieve real
happiness, and under the infu nee Of
wisely ordered lives and the inspira-
tion Of religion, they will justify all
the sacrifices and labor Of men Of
their own and other races for their
