Tularosa, y N, Nay 10,
Editor FL Paso Herald:
In your article "Chautauaua Diplo-
macy" you said a good deal Of truth,
daily press OF today. The catastrophe
Of the Lusitania is very deplorable, but
put the blame where il belongs.
What is the reason that so many
American people, especially Of English
origin. are so spiteful and hateful
against the German nation?
Germany never gave any such cause
TO America In the revolution America
was assisted by Frederick the Great
again helped the United States with
money. etc. and the German and Irish
regiments were the best in the north
ern army to prevent the disruption Of
the United States, where England did
all il could to produce its dissolution
Germany never mingled in the af-
fairs Of the United States, where Eng
land always tried to make dictations
10 it
When the writer came to the United
States in 1870, shortly before the Ger
man-French war. and he did editorial
work for a German Democratic paper,
the first demand was made of him that
he should lie against Germany in favor
of France OF course he at once quit
his position
Then he had to hear a good deal
about the damn Dutch" where people
did not know that he was German, as
he could speak fluent English when he
landed in New York.
Very frequently the daily papers used
the Germans as subjects Of their ridicule
as the woOden-shoe Dutch. sauerkraut
Dutch. etc, and even the children OF
German parents, born in this country,

School Board Makes Wise Choice

In rejecting superintendent Tighe and in putting
auditor Sawyer back in the position from which he
was removed by political school board, the school
trustees have acted in accord with the judgment Of
probably majority of citizens who take real interest
in the schools.
Superintendent Tighe has handled his work with
vigor and enthusiasm. He has introduced some new
features but he has devoted himself specially TO de-
veoping the work as already established, without at
tempting anything revolutionary He has been notably
hospabe to good suggestions from any for the
IMPROVEMENT Of the schools And he has not depressed
The initiative of the teachers OF principals while
nuing to uphold certain advanced standards Of per-
formance.
The work Of the auditors department under Nh
Sawyer always deserved appreciative commendation,
and his experience is valuable asset to the schools
The board is to be congratulated on its action IN
these appointments

Editor FL Paso Herald
The writer wishes TO congratulate
You upon your patriotic editorials in
The Herald The writer has been
familiar with Latin countries for many
years and assures you that our nag
and people are despised as never before
and our cOnsuls put in many humlliat-
ing positions
I have seen during the sacking Of a
large town the green harp flag OF Ire
land protect a private house Also
the confederate nag and the Cuban
Tag were able TO do likewise; while
the consular refugee Of the American
colony with the consular nag OF the
Z. ). A above il, had the doors blown
in and three American men left for
dead, the premises sacked and the
women and children robbed and NAL
treated by soldiers under major.
Our government did not even protest
so far as anyone knows
In another place the American flags
were torn down and put in a pile or
the main square and 500 soldiers de-
filed them, jeering at our country.
No one wants war. but the boy or
nation which takes 1t lying down and
squalls and quotes Chautauqua lee

active enmity OF all his neighbOrs.
Mr.. Wilson was elected upon a plat
form declaring for protection Of Amer
lean citizens abroad in both person and
property.
There has been much talk about get
ting trade in South America. In most
countries in South America, constitu-
lions and courts are a farce, and for
eign interests, as soon as they become
of any value, are seized or forced to
pay many times greater taxes than
others unless protected by their gov
eminent
If merchants and miners and boats
Of other nations are protected and ours
are not there will no American trade
be developed in South America Pro-
lection means force back or protests if
they are not needed
Until there are international police
men it is the duty Of strong men and
strong nations 10 fight If necessary Tor
international rights and justice
In the history Of the world il has
never been secured any other way. But
If the boy viii stand up COR his rights
he is generally left alone and always
respected
We achieved our nationality and lib
erty only by fighting for it
And until the world generally reaches
a higher plane or there are interna-
tional policemen and courts sustained
by them there is no other way

Ell Paso Dissolves Partnership

One of the first acts of the city administration
was aboshng the ine collection" system IN the red
light reservation It was done quietly and without any
show Of self righteousness, but solely from conviction
that the old system without shred of jushfica-
ton.
The Sfne collection" system, whether the system
were purely one Of collection initiating court
procedure, has always been sad farce. The fines"
have amounted to licenses, and have always been so
regarded The city has heretofore deliberately placed
itself in the position of taking money from prostitutes
in payment for the privilege of carrying on their trade
in violation of law.
The problem is one that IS far from being solved
BY any method so far devised. It would be better
to repeal all special statutes regarding 1t, and to
base such prosecutions might become advisable on
the common law Of nusances, rather than on SPECIFIC
statute But the country IS seemingly not ready Tor
this plan and It does not know what to do about It
But after all is said, there is certain moral eanci-
patton resulting from the act Of any city which volun-
tarly renounces the regular income from this particular
trade It is not pleasant to know that the whole city
is actually in partnership with It

A Railroad That Sees Far Ahead

It was a strong and enthusiastic body of men who
came to FL PasO with the Texas Pacific party. And
it was mighty progressive thing for the railroad to
do to take these 40 officials and representatives Of
the passenger and freight departments from nearly
score of cities, on a tour the system to show
them what the country is ike and make them &C
quainted with the people.
FL Paso makes strong impression on wide awake
business men in any line who come here and look
around The city not only has a friendly way about
IT. but it has the substance. Every one Of the T. & P
men will be booster for FL Paso from now on, as well
as for the railroad which has always been such an i'm
portant factor in FL Paso's growth and prosperity

The Army and Chihuahua S Need

Gen Pershing's offer TO help in Transforming Chi
huahuita by enabling the city to enjoy the advice and
practical assistance Of army medical officers, is timely
and should be deeply appreciated by the people of FL
Paso The Herald has heretofore discussed in detail the
social and sanitary problems that confront down
there and has expressed the conviction that something
ike army discipline must prevail if anything is to be
accomplished.
For Fl PasO to be in position to command the vol
untary service of army medical officers experienced in
the Philippines in Cuba, in Panama, not to mention
their fundamental training IN perfect camp and barrack
conditions, something Of too much importance to be
held lightly.
No municipal pride should be allowed to stand in
the way Of taking advantage Of Gen Pershing's
generous timely, and friendly offer. 1t presents
opportunity that 81 Paso should have welcomed long
ago, and that should be grasped with enthusiasm
