INTERVIEWS
'PEACE ON EARTHfo


Out in the crispy air of night
IN Bethlehems starlit plain
Ny soul beheld a vision bright
And heard a thrilling strain.
Down from the Wales of Paradise
A Wondrous message bringing,
Angelic hosts Ger raptured skies,
A song Of peace were singing.
Out in the gloom of starIess night,
where WIntry winds were signing,
Ny soul beheld a grewsome sight
Inc "ar-Sods victims dying.
shamei Shall the cursed reign of
And savage Greed ne'er cease?
shame! Shall Wanted age of Light
Aye mock the Prince of Peace?
Death to your boast of a n-bler life
cultured world is leading.
While man meets man in deadly strife
And nations hearts are bleeding.

~ f ALL. the countries of the old
world, India seems the most
foreign" said Mrs. Waller
Earhart who returned Wednesday from
a IA months tour of the world India
has been less affected by European in
fluence than any other country in the
east We saw the thousands in Bonn
bay bowling down to the ground in the
streets of the city in worship of the
sun. It was a wonderful sight. One
of the sects in India does not believe
in either burying or cremating the
dead. Instead they place the bodies in
an open tower where they are devOured
by vultures and buZZards within few
hours. While we were in India the
northern part of the country was go
ing through famine, due to the fall
ure Of the rice crop. Corn was sent
to the people from the southern part
of the country, but they would not eat
IT, and were dying of starvation IN
large numbers"
mo better idea Of the stability and
progress of Ell PasO can be had than
the record of the year now closing
said r. E. Sherman. Despite the many
adverse conditions, such as the war in
Europe and the continued unrest in
Mexico, the city has steadily grown
and many new corners, have settled
here. FL PasO has a most enviable rep
utation for sOidity throughout the
southwest and this has resulted in
many out of town persons coming
here to make their homes. Every in
dication is that 1915 will be a banner
year for the city,
I can understand all the military
movements in Mexico except the vari-
Gus campaigns that are waged for the
possession of Lower California" said
II. H. Blease, Of San Diego. Without
wishing to libel any section of Mexico,
it is but a bald fact that Lower Call
fornia is one of the most desolate, IN
interesting and useless lands on the
globe. I have been through much Of
the territory and all a person gets
there is a strong desire to leave. There
is some little mining, and the fishing
concessions are valuable, but I would
certainly give the AleXicans-and the
Japs-mOre credit than TO think that
they would waste lives and money TO
attempt to settle the desOlate coun-
try" Ea &

Executions IN lIEXICO.

From New York sun.
The report that many Mexicans asso-
ciated with the Huerta regime have
been executed in the city of Mexico
during the last few days is credible.
In fact, there is a strong presumption
of its truth. Villa "a Zapata had
many scores to settle, and they have
never shown any regard for human
life. Moreover, they repeatedly de-
clared during the instruction that
they would exact retributiOn for the
murder Of Madero. There must have
been a long list of marked men in the
capital when the eX-outlaws took pos
session.

Scotch National Hero.

One hundred years ago the cele-
brated colossal statute of Sir William
Wallace was formally dedicated by the
earl of Buchan, in connection with the
celebration of the five hundredth ami
versary of the battle of Bannockburn.
Sir William Wallace is known as the
national hero of Scotland, and the
stories Of his courage, patriotism and
devotion are familiar to all the chill
dren of that land. As the leader of a
band of patriotic followers, he fought
for years to deliver Scotland from
English rule. When victory seemed
about to crown his efforts he was de-
feated and captured through treach-
cry, August 5, 1905, and sent prison
er to London. There he was tried for
high treason. On the same day that
he was convicted he was executed and
his body quartered. ..

Charm.

II mean by charm" writes Arthur
c. Benson in a delightful essay on
Charm" in the Century, mot a mere
superficial gracefulness which can be
learned, as good manners are learned,
through a certain code of behavior,
but thing which is the flower and
outward sign of beautiful attitude
to life; an eagerness to welcome
everything which is fine and fresh
and unstained; that turns away the
glance from things unlovely and vio-
lent and greedy not in disappearing
or a self-righteous spirit, because it
is respectable to be shocked, but in a
sense of shame and disgrace that such
cruel and covetous and unclean things
should be. If one takes figure like
that of st. Francis of Assist, who for
all the superstition and fanaticism
with which the record is intermingled,
showed real reflection and restora-
tion of the old Christian joy of life,
we shall see that he had firm hold Of
the secret"

shops of the state in the last fiscal
year turned out products worth 1884,

money $S8,779,O00 greater than the
face value OF all standard silver dol
lars which are in circulation or In

In the total output value of 1884,

board of election should certify its
findings to the circuit attorney, In the
event it found evidence giving the
slightest indication of attempted fraud

At no time during the interview did
the governor attempt to defend the
questionable registration on technical
grounds.
