Austin. Texas, Jan. 2i.-Governor o.

this property from the state for term
of so yeaEs. on basis calling for an
expenditure Of about 100000 Tor bet

thOrity and sanction Of the legislature.
Viewing the property in the light OF
experience and the loss Of the state in
operating it, I think the proposition
was a good one for the state.

BISHOP OPPOSES WOMANS
SUFFRAGE AND PROHIBITION

san Antonio. Texas. Jan. 21.-Oppos-
ing prohibition and also woman suf-
frage. i'm an interview given out upon
his arrival in this city. Rt. Rev Daniel
sylvester futile. ranking bishop of the
Episcopal church of America is
prominent figure at the second annual
synod Of the province Of the south
west, which is now in session IN this
city.
Women should not be given the
right OF suffrage. and prohibition is an
un-American theory, lacking IN moral
argument said bishop Tuttle.
'It is not fair to give women the
ballot Already women are doing more
than half of the worlds work. They
monoDoliZe the activities in the home.
the church. in the school and in many
places of business life. Giving them
the ballot Is only adding to their bur
dens. May of the women who would
vote are degraded women who could
be easily influenced by prejudice and
money. and 10 seems to me there would
be merely an addition TO the corrupt
vote
TOUCHING on the subject OF prohibi-
ton. bishop Tuttle said; God put evils
i'm the world and man must choose for
himself the thing he should do It is
all right for man to drink, but not
for him TO get drunk. God could have
created the world and placed mankind
here without evil influences. But he
did not do this and it is not right for

~ YOU exist to take pleasure out
of life or to bring action to it:
Do you rise unwillingly in the
morning. or do yeu fling of the covers
with a joyful anxiety to be up and do
ing your part in the march OF events?
Everything in the world, from plants
and flowers to birds and bees on up to
the scale Of humanity, has work to do
to nut its particular section Of the
universe in order. Are you willing to
do your share?
The work of a human being may be
the simple task OF digging ditch or
the lofty and elaborate calculation
that leads to the discovery Of a new
star. whatever your work is, rest
assured it has its part in the scheme
Of things. Perhaps all your life long
YOU will dig your ditch splendidly and
we'll and yet rise to no bigger thing.
The Satisfaction.
Even IL q material reward does not
come TO you, is there not glowing
satisfaction in throwing off your COW
ers and rising with warm enthusiasm
to your ditch digging? The actual
consciousness that you have q part in
the work of the world and that you
are doing well is reward beyond
any crown OF laurel No eEternals can
ever matter as much as the internal
joy OF being at peace with your own
your actual best.
In any machine the most triflinS
bearing may have as important a place
of value as great as the huge Whtrling
belt or powerful dynamo In the
march Of humanity to some goal we
do not yet fully understand, in the

The folk who find work that is IN
accordance with their own nature have
already half accomplished it. For con-
genial work fairly sings in the doing
But If life places an individual in

girable than another task that lies Off
somewhere else, he must still do the

INTERVIEWS

-HE prosperity of Ei Paso, when
the general financial situation
h throughout the country is con-
sidered, is remarkable" said Charles
Robinson. persons in the east natur-
ally think that. with unsettled condi-
tions in Mexico, business all along the
border is bad, with the dullness at it's
worst in the larger cities, The fact
that El Paso. with everything against
it. such as war in Mexico, partial shut
ting down of the copper industry and
the tightness of money affecting the
cattle industry, has grown and pros
pered is positive proof that its founda-
ton is solid The El Paso Of today is
a village in comparison with what IL
Will be IS years hence
Z -
Lack of fuel has caused great suf-
fering in Mexico City" said George M.
Meter 1.-The factories operated just
as long as they could but when the
supply of coal gave out, they were
forced to shut down and this threw
hundreds of persons out Of work. Every
effort was made to secure fuel but the
demand was so great that, when
trainload would arrive, it would be
hardly enough to last more than few
days. Even the supply Of charcoal used
by the poorer classes for cooking, has
been practically exhausted and this
has caused great suffering
y
Dallas is overrun with holdup men,
burglars and other law breakers" said
Fred DelEado. There is more crime of
that nature in Dallas in proportion to
population than in FL Paso This is
probably due to the fact that more
crooks go into Dallas than pass through
this city. Travelling on the train ire
quently saw tramps. in one place

in Dallas"
"The opera company now appearing
in El Paso. singing in Spanish. Offer
the greatest treat sac Spanish speaking
time said Domingo Montoya. 'Evl-
dence of the fact that they are well
received is shown in tho large audi
ences that have been attending the pcr-
fO~mances. Great interest 5 beng
taken in the company by the lovers of
music largely because they are singing
popular operas in native tongue.
while the actual value of the south
ern crosses OF honor which the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy bcstow
upon the weareFs is not great. they are
of very high value TO the veterans re
.ceiving them" said Mrs. {. z. Kelly. 1T
is the hope OF the U. d. C. to present
one OF these crosses to every Confeder-
ate veteran. To secure the crosses the
veterans papers showing his service
must be produced. As the crosses are
made from the bronze guns used by the
Confederate army in the war they arc
highly priced by the veterans"
There have been many Inquiries
about the derivation Of the word
jitne, said Mrs. Edith Graham Coyne,
the Librarian u have searched every
available authority on words and there
IS absolutely no record of anything -ap

termine jitne has been coined and
means five cents. There seems to be no
trace as to when it actually began to
be used"

has never done as fine q job as this
for the world since, and stin lives on
its reputation.
When Charlemagnc came to the
throne, he owned a half interest in a
large collection of ragged and unruiy
warriors called the Franks. Education
was unknown; civilization had been
forgotten since the Romans left, and
the principal amusement of man was
to beat the brains out of his neighOor

Charlemagne was young and im1
