ing and a portion of the town is on
fire. Hundreds are said to have been
killed.
Seven thousand Constitutionalists

that lie was needed in the campaign
on Saltillo, and the Carranza brigade
was sent back to Monterey.
All Americans have been taken
aboard the United States warships,
but other foreigners are scattered
throughout the oil well district. 1t
was this section of the battlefield that
the United States government sug-
gested should be made neutral zone.
The Constitutionalist generals refused
to adopt this suggestion.
BY the light of the blazing oil tanks
fired by stray shots, the rebel artil-
lerymen hurled shot after shot from
twenty heavy field-guns into the

That was a right good story about
The old Man and the old Black
Horse. wasn't Il?
The old man had been turned out,
poor and homeless. after 40 years
labor for one big corporation at bare
living wages.
The old morse had been turned out
in a fine pasture TO end his days in
peace The point was that the beast
got better treatment when his day of
enforced idleness arrived, than did the
man. But were going TO base little
comment on one of the prominent fea-
lures OF this story-the man worked
for 40 years for one big corporation
at bare living wages.
Did he deserve better treatment than
the horse The man was his own
master. The horse was not The
man did not have TO work 40 years for
one big corporation, at bare living
wages. The horse did have to work
wherever he was put for a bare liv-
ing. For his Loyalty to his condition
the horse might deserve credit Is
there anything creditable about 40
years loyalty of a man 10 a condition
i'm which ne was on a level with
horse?
Society owes that man something.
II owes all Of its unfortunates some
thing Humanity should feel bad for
that man. 1t should feel for all fall
ures.
But the man himself owes society
something and should have some feel
ing for humanity
No man is good for society or hU-
manity who works. for 40 years. for
one big corporation, at bare living
wages such stupid contentment.
such loyalty are a curse to the world.
Better even an unsuccessful effort on
the part of the man to rise from the
years and years of stagnation. Forty
years of satisfied slavery! 1t is slaves
who create tyrants,
The old black horse must have Won
dered why the old man didn't make a
change, since no change could have
been for the worse.
The hope of the future is that our
youth will not be satisfied with any
thing for 40 years. Young man, select
no vocation in which there Is no
chance to rise. If you find yourself
with an employer who will not let you
rise, change employers. There is no
beauty. no credit in 40 years of 10y
atty 10 stagnation. There was a time
when even that old black horse tried
20 do little better than TO calmly take
the lash and eat his oats.
