by jury in Nthe criminal court of common pleas. The documents were exhibited.
 A heated discussion ensued when Attorney John H. Barnes, counsel for the defendant, attempted to show that the crime with which Lambert was found guilty was only a technical one, stating that Lambert had merely taken S4 from a man who owed him that amount. State Attorney Hull objected to this and the objection was sus- tained
 Several witnesses were then called in rebuttal and the testimony was all in by 11-15 when both sides rested. Attorney Roderick M. Douglass. who is assisting State Attorney Hull. made the first argument and he was fol- lowed by Attorneys Barnes and Ed ward T. Burke for the accused, which took until I o'clock, when recess was taken.
 States Attorney Hull made the clos ing argument for the prosecution.
 Theodore Perry of Lisbon, charged with indecent assault, was sentenced to one year in jail at the afternoon session of the court. Perry had pre- viously pleaded not guilty but Thurs day afternoon he changed his plea to builty
 Perry's case was called at o'clock after the noon recess, when States Attorney Hull announced to the court that the accused wanted to change his plea The accused was then put to plea and he pleaded guilty.
 States Attorney Hull stated to the court that he did not wish to rehearse the case as the facts were nauseating. Judge Greene inquired of counsel for the accused if he wished to make a statement and Attorney Harvey said that he had none to make as the court already understood the circumstances VI Ncrh rA self. Judge Greene then pronounced the sentence
 The charges against Perry are of most reyolting nature. Perry was formerly engaged in teaching school in Lisbon and other places and he Is charged with making indecent assaults on young boys. He was arrested in Lisbon last Saturday and arraigned in a justice court Monday when he was bound over to che superior court.

GENERAL VILLAS PLEA
 FOR LIFTING EMBARGO.
Declares It is the Swiftest Way of
 Bringing Peace in Mexico.


 Torreon, Mex. May "A plea for the lifting of the embargo on arms as the Swiftest and most Humanitarian method Of bringing peace to Mexico was made in an interview today by General Francisco Villa, general in chief of the consdtutionalist army
 The embargo is protracting this struggle uselessly,' he said. T hope the American government understands that the placing of the embargo is in terfering seriously with the plans of the constitutionalists. Gomez Palacio, and even Monterey were constitution alfst successes due to the brief lifting of the embargo. Mexico should be pacified. We cannot gain this end quickly while we sufrer from lack of ammunition.
 ''We can continue this struggle for better social and economic conditions In Mexico by capturing our ammuni- ton rom the enemy, as we have done largely Tn the past. but such a method was necessar1ly dragging the war over a long period. I believe, therefore, that every Humanitarian consideration ar gues for the lifting of the embargo The sooner we can secure the arms and ammunition we need, the sooner the country will be pacified. I am sure the American people will have no difficulty in understanding this"
 General Villa spoke of his attitude towards the United States and Amer jeans in event that hostilities should ensue between the two countries.
 'I wish." he said, ito make it clear to the people of the United States that I am anxious for all Americans con nected with industries in Mexico to return and again take up their pur- suits. I wish to add that the foreign CTS now in Mexico and those who re- turn will have nothing to fear should 1t ever come to war between Mexico and the United States, and I give my word that everything possible would be done by me to protect them.

 General Villa declared that involve ment of his party in war with the United States was an utter impossi- bility. <Why talk of war with the United States?" he said

BEATEN.

The folks that live in the place be-
low
Heard how the bOn-tOns dance;
They begged Old Nick for a fancy
Said he you'll have the chance"
He led, himself, with the t~urkey-trot'
And while he thrashed about,
The fires went down and he skinned
his shins;
His hoofs were plum worn out.
Then Mrs. Nick, in a wild attempt
To "hesitate'' just right,
Careened and fell in a sulphur-pot,
And say!-she was a sight!
They broke their bones in a bunny
hug,
The crushed each others feet;
And Satan groaned, as he limped to
bed,

A SERMON ON CIVILIZATION
By Monroe Woolley.

Civilization is a state OF culture
or refinement, so the dictionary
says. That is much like naming
a thing without explaining 1t.
Civilization cannot be defined in a
minute, and a man who can de-
scribe it must be master Of mir
acles. There are too many brands.
F~ifty-seven varieties would be a
miserly estimate. Briefly, civiliz-
alton might be said to be incon-
sistency personifed, because it is
judged by different standards by
every race, tribe, and family. Ev-
en- individually we have u own
private views as to what consti-
tutes civilization.
The white mans standard says
because a brown man wears a ring
in his nose that he is hopelessly
savage. On the other hand, rings
worn in the ears make the pale
face highly civilized, Barbarism
now days is knocking a mans
brains out with a club. Civiliza-
ton performs the operation with
a high power rifle. Civilization
looks upon a leper as a dynamite
bomb about to explode, and at the
same time views consumption
with complacency. We delight in
numbering scores at a clip in auto.
mobile races, and pay to e aero.
planes behead multitudes as they
Craze grandstands. The next day
we piously censure the SpaniarC
and the Mexican for their beast
ly bull fights.
In most countries, allegedly
highly civilized, a bank balance
and a high hat are indications o.
culture and . refinement. Else
where a bill Of fare Of bird nests
and shark fins bespeaks civilized
advancement. When a patrio'
wins a rebellion civilization make
him an international hero. Whel
he loses his cause the same fore,
condemns him to be shot as a mis-
cradle traitor. The white discipl
Of civilization crazed with com
mercial lust trades his health ant

The hired men at Washington

The hired men at Washington
have been wasting a month or two
talking about "free tolls. Gee,
what a paradox! The word
"free' indicates that it don't
cost anything, while the word
"tolls' conveys the idea that
something has to be paid. It re-
minds me Of the Irishman who
wanted an empty barrel Of flour

MANKIND
(Pearson's. y

At the time when a terrible
civil war was raging in our own
borders, when battles were being
fought and sieges planned, when
a private soldiery hired by lawless
mine-owners was assisting a state
militia similarly controlled to
shoot down men and burn women
and children, the President believ-
ed we had time and leisure to go
to war with Mexico over the ques-
ton Of whether a salute should
consist Of five guns of twenty-one.
Whereupon he plunged the ma
ton into such a war and then ask
ed Congress to approve it. Asked
or ordered. Since the introduce
ton Of the caucus system of gov
eminent either amounts to the
same thing.
Congress, long ago perfectly
subjugated, obeyed overnight,
and doubtless would have done no
less if he had declared war on
Mars or ordered b~attleships to.
circumnavigate Vega.
Sweet spectacle. It shows at
one and the same time how free
and independent we are, how just
and reasonable, and how sincere
were our pious utterances in IA
vor Of peace. No wonder the
world cynically laughed. One
day with eyes uprolled and snug
quotations we profess the faith
Of universal good will, and the
next day send down a fleet Of bat
tleships to attack the weakest ma
ton on earth and kill 156 of it's
citizens-for the explosion Of 16
bland cartridges.
Nobody concerned with this
performance made what you
would call a delectable appear
ance, but certainly the sorriest
spectacle was Of that accomplish
ed artist in platitude and piffle,
the Hon. William J. Bryan. Our
~battleships, according to this
weird and wordy fakir, we're to
be Friendship" and "Fellow-
ship" Under these names, it now
appears, and with concealed guns,
we were to lure another nation
within striking distance and then
blow it to hell.
On the Chaw-talk-way circuit
this summer Mr.. Bryan should
add this episode to his favorite
I. lecture on "The Prince of Peace"
!. 1t would contribute a sweetly con-
vincing note that hitherto has
been lacking in this famous effort.
Ii difident Of his own powers
on such an occasion, he has fortu-
| nately an eminent and ire
proachable authority to which he
, can resort for quotation. At the
, funeral of the sailors in New
: York President Wilson said that
he had gone down to Mexico to
, serve mankind. So it appears
that 1t Huerta had saluted the
flag with twenty-one guns we
should have allowed mankind to
slide along for awhile longer and
\ do the best it could, but as Huerta
!, refused to salute the flag with
: more than five guns we are going
;, to Tx up mankind right away.
This is a point that I am sure
t Mr.. Bryan will appreciate an0
